Mr.. Wise denied very emphatieally the
report that had been circulated TO the effect
that he had voted for a bill 10 purchase the
machinery for our naval vessels from Britain.
The facts were that The Republicans not
only had no navy, but they had nc estab-
lishments In which the necessary vessel ma
chiuerY could be made. He and his Demo-

It became necessary during the war TO lay

and preserve the Union. since the war,
under Republican Administrations, there had

had been no protection OF the worklngmen
under the Republican regimes and argued
that there can be no free trade under our
Government.
Mr.. Wise addressed himself briefly to the

Many marriages take place annu ally
in Naples because of money left, ac-

by benevolently disposed individuals,

twenty or thirty, present themselves

six such marriages, all the girls must
step up TO the urn aud draw lot or

girls who have qualified. only six can

A Too Greedy Partner.

Some time ago young fellow. q
sontherneE, who was a real estate re-
porter on ST. Louis paper, saw a
chance TO better his fortunes and help
his mother and sisters, who were liv-
ing in poverty on the old plantation.
The youngster received private iu-
formation that Tom Scott and a big
syndicate were about to purchase city
property on an immense scale. He
told business friend about it, and the
result was that the reporter borrowed
500 and put it with $500 advanced
by his friend and purchased an option
on big piece Of property worth half
a million. Z
The next day Tom Scott offered
$500, 600 for the real estate. The re-
porter saw in this clear $50, 900 for
his share, and for several hours was
on his head. But to his astonishmen.
his partner refused to sell, believing
that bigger price would be offered.
On the day following Scott W thdrew lis
offer. The dazzling dissolved like the
baseless fabric of q vision, and The
newspaper man found himself worse

When the chance comes and they find
that the price for all the tickets have

The more viii ones don't grab the ex
ira ticket so enthusiastically. The,
allow the little envelope to lie unit
they see what the chance is, and ther
when they find that the change CORES
ponds to the number of tickets before
them they suayely draw the attention
OF the treasurer, to his mistake.
Speaking of the treasurer dropping
bills on the floor of the box office, it ID
very common thing indeed for peo-
pie who are purchasing tickets at the
box Office window to drop bill or two
out of their change before they man
age 10 get away, and this is so well
known among certain class of young
men that they resort to the Hobbies of
such theatres as are producing success
where the lobby is in CONSEQUENCE
crowded just before the performance,
aud every body is in a great hurry, and
they wait around TO pick up bills that
are dropped after this fashion. And
here again the treasurer is very apt to
get beaten if he doesn't look out
When the man goes away from the box
office aud counts his change inside the
theatre and finds il short he comes
back to the treasurer and insists that
he hasn't got change enough. The
precaution that every treasurer takes
who is on his guards is that whenever
he hands out change for bill of large
denomination he spreads ont the vari-
GUS bills. one distinct from the other.
so that the man purchasing the tickets
can see every one of them. In con-
sequence. when ne comes back to the
box office to collect from the treasurer,
he 10 reminded of the fact and forced
to weaken.
One of the greatest trials that a
treasurer has 10 contend with is tue
man who comes for two seats and who
declares that he has never been in the
theatre and who wants to go inside to
inspect the exact location of the seats
before purchasing. 1t seems almost
increditable, but is nevertheless true,
that day after day men and women
make their way into the dimly lighted
theatres and sit down and wrlggle
around in the seats that they propose
to occupy at night and gaze around at
the other seats that are usually COW
cred with linen draperies and at the

EXERCISE AT HOME

A large Glass Unprovided with
! Means of Proper Daily Exercise.
Men and boys ride horses. row boats,
climb hills. dance, play bail and skate
for exercise, says the E2irenoEogicGL
Journal Women and children do
much the same, substituting lawn ten
mis- for baseball. Little boys and girls
may fly kites, roll hoops-in fair
weather-and so keep the blood from
stagnating in their living bodies. So
far. so good. But there is a. class still
unprovided with the means Cor proper
daily exercises. such as men of seden-
tary habits. clergymen. lawyers, edit
ors, teachers. authors and children
who do not have Fairgrounds. and
who cannot safely go into the streets to
exercise. The health lift meets GER
tain classes and is useful; the ten-pin
alley when separated from smoking.
drinking and betting affords healthfuI
exercise. The same. though to less
extent, may be claimed for billiards.
Then there is the coarser exercise of
boxing, which is chiefly used by
sports" and the fancy to the dis
gust OF respectable people. And yet,
even the clergy might derive real bene-
fits from going through the exercise
which pugilists take while being fitted
for the ring" or those TO rms of ex-
ercise supplied by cheap gymnasGic
apparatus which can be obtained new
and easily set up in room at home.
The short sword, or foil, is another
sort of exercise in which muscle may
be developed.
When lecturing in Mobile, Ala.
some years ago. Mr.. Pomeroy informs
ed us that he and his family, consisting
of wife and several children, had suffer-
ed much from illness. and that his ex-
penses for medical attendance had
been large for several years previous
to his building a '.play-house' in
which each and every member, from a
three-year-old baby mp to servants,
wife and himself took regular daily
exercise of from ten minutes to half an
hour. Since that time, now more
than two years, not moments illness
worth attention had been suffered by
any single member. He assured us
that this. with hygienic living. had en-
abled the family to dispense with doc.
tors and drugs at saving of consid-
cradle sum.
Children are dying among us for
want of exercise and pure air. They
become fretful. mischievous, disobedi-
emit and troublesome. when, if they
could climb rope. sailor fashion, and
initiate their hungry. collapsing lungs
with inyigorating air they would be
gentle. obedient and tractable as
lambs. We don't want weak, thin,
dwarfs or bean poles
for children; we want strong, robust,
well-deVeloped bodies and brains.
