The following singular case Is

try who was said to have led an
ungodly life. lie had always been
known to be well off, but nobody
knew how he had gained his pos.
sessions. There we're many strange
stories ahoat, but one which was
more credited than all the rest was
to the effect that Huolarinen, as
was his name, had in his early days
been on an intimate footing with
"Wihtahausu," (the "evil one,")
with whom he had had several
transactions of a commercial char
acter. When Huolarinen's will
was opened it was found that he
had bequeathed all his landed prop
erty and possessions to the devil.
The family naturally protested
against the will, and the question
now arises how this ticklish matter
is to be settled. Everybody seems
anxious not to offend any of the
Darties concerned.

When a Voter Is of Age.

The general election takes place
November 9th, of this year, and
any man otherwise qualified eau
vote that day # his birthday on
which he calls himself q doesn't
come until the day after that is,
November 7th. 1t seems queer,
but it is q legal fact, that the man
whose birthday ia the fth becomes
p at midnight after the 9th, The
law recognizes no parts of days,
and so legally if he is 81 at any
time of the fth, he is 81 all day OF
the 9th, and he can vote on that
day. 1t is q matter that has been
tested and demonstrated, and the
young man reading this, who thinks
he will be 81 on the 7th because 1t
is his birthday, is hereby advised
that he will be 81 on the 9th, and
it is his duty and privilege to get
himself made q voter in due time'

The EnQIish Idea,

Says an EuglIsb gentleman who
has been visiting this country
"Our great desire is to have the
United States, the richest market
in the world, opened up to our
commerce. OF course 1t will be a
bad thing for you, but we can't be
blamed for looking out for our own
interests rather than yours" Every
thinking man knows that this is
the truth, and yet the free traders
deny 1t. BY the way, why don't
our fair-minded contemporary, the
World, instruct its English cor.
respondent to get the views OF the
great Birmingham and Manchester
manufacturers on the question !
Their reasons for desiring free
trade IN the United States would
DO interesting to Demo Gratis just
now. They might also he asked
how free trade would benefit
American working men, as is claim.

DisObedient Indians.
A BAND OF SIOUX BRAVES WHO
SAY THEY WILL DO AS
THEY PLEASE.


PINE RIDGE AGENCY, OAK,
Aug. 19.-FOur or five days ago a
band of Sioux Indians made for
NAL request of Agent Gallagher
that they be allowed to attend the
sun.dance of the Cheyennes on the
tongue river. Surmising that they
would make an attack on the whites
along the Tongue and Powder riv-
ers, the agent refused to allow the
reds to leave the reservation. This
morning it was discovered that a
large band of the Sioux had start
ed for the home of the Cheyennes
in defiance OF the objections inter
posed, leaving word that they had
got through obeying the orders of
the officers at Pine Ridge, and that
IN the future they intended to go
when they pleased and stay rs long
as they pleased. This state of at
fairs was telegraphed Gen. Kruger,
who at once wired TT. Custer to
send out troops to intercept the
reds. This afternoon Col. Nathan
lei NJ. Dudley sent in pursuit two
companies OF the first cavalry, UNI
der MalorlHamilton and First Lieu
tenant Walnright. The military
are expecting to overtake the In
dams tomorrow, when a desper-
ate battle IS likely to ensue. be-
cause the reds are excee dinghy an
cry and reported armed to the
teath.

DEMOCRATS AND TRUSTS.
THEY CONTROL THE THREE MOST
GIGANTIC MONOPoLIEs IN
THE COUNTRY.

THE COUNTRY.
Newark Advertiser
From this time forth no Demo.
Graf need open his lips to say
word against "trusts." He and his
party are hopelessly committed in
support of this peculiar form of
monopoly. The vote in the House
on the sugar amendment to the
Mills bill fixes the last link In the
chain of damning evidence. These
are the three great monopolies, the
managers Of which control prices
at their will (: The standard oil
trust, the sugar trust and the
whiskey trust.
The first of these il the most 81.
gantic monopoly ia the world. 1t
brushes all opposition and fixes the
price of a universally used com.
modify with the utmost nicely. No
man may buy a gallon of kerosene
or other coal oil products at a
price less than that which the
Standard oil trust has made tor
him. The Standard oil trust ram.
ifes into every branch of the GOV
eminent, into every department of
commerce. Its representative in
Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet is Mr..
Whitney, Secretary of the Navy.
It's representative in the Senate Is
Mr.. Payne, Senator from Ohio. It's
representatives in the House are
J. II. Cultivate of Columbus, Ohio,
and w. L. Scott of Erie, Pa. All
these gentlemen are Democrats.
The largest consumer of tin plate
In the United States is the Stand
ard oil trust. That concern de-
mands that tin plate, used for Its
packages, shall be placed on the
free list. The obedient servants OF
the Standard oil trust have reduc-
ed the tariff on tin plate IN the
Mills bill 80 that the duty is to be
placed at its lowest possible notch,
The demand for the reduction OF
the duty on tin plate comes from
no other source than that of the
great many armed polypus-the
Standard oil trust.

WAIT AND SEE

The people have been reading OF
the Democratic Tor Mllls) tariff
bill so.called, which was passed
after two months of debate in the
House of Representatives. They
have had ample time to reason to
themselves and among themselves
about.
As it was a revenue measure 1t
was necessarily started in the
House, but it is the prerogative OF
the Senate to amend or reject it, or
to substitute another for it by way
of amendment.
A few more days and the ReDub-
hcan substitute will be before the
people, and its merits and dement's
will be laid bare by the real tariff
debaters and the advocates OF Mr..
Cleveland's free trade policy.
The Republican bill will remove
the entire internal revenue tax on
tobacco, as product of the SOIL
and will reduce the tariff on sugar
and rice nearly or quite one half.
1t will make great many other
similar changes in favor of the
American consumer, and see we'll

is made on English products
which are brought INTO com
petition with the products OF
American soil and American labor
and American manufactures.

LIGHT ON THE MILLS BILL.
Philadelphia Press.


The Press has repeatedly made
the charge, and it has never been
contradicted, that the Mills bill, as
1t finally passed Congress, was a
narrow, sectional, partisan meas
ure. A bill which ruthlessly de-
stroyed industries in the North,
excepting in cases where it was
necessary to buy Democratic votes.
In such instances the articles were
taken from the free list and restor-
ed for the "plundered consumer
and "oyertaxed laborer."
The Press is in receipt of a strik-
ing illustration of this from Mr.. A.
C. Arnold, who has exposed the
fraud in the Stamford Comm Ad'
rocate. A certain Connecticut free
trader found ont that his line OF
goods had been placed on the free
list. Down he went to Washing
ton with an argument of the fol-
lowing pattern: Our mills are
located In the doubtful States of
Connecticut and New jersey
Nearly all of our wOrkmen vote
the Democratic ticket. Unless
YOU take our manufactured goods
from the free list our men will vote
the Republican ticket this fall, and,
being a thousand strong, may de-
eide the Issue of the election.
The Mills committee on this
representation struck out these
goods from the free list, and not
only that but actually increased
the duty. And this is the way the
tariff was "revlsed" in the interests
of the toiling millions. AS mat
ter of fact there never was a more
infamous piece of political jobbery
than the Mills bill. The real spirit
which actuated the committee was
a willingness to cripple any indus
try. The only reason why they
desisted in any case was political
reason.

committee, of which Senator Kenna

The Bath Houses Of Paris.

fhe manner of bathing is considered q
luxury, and the public bath houses are
the most used by people in moderate cir
cumstances. These bath houses are to he
found on every other block, and there are
first, second and third class ones, so there
is no excuse for uncleanliness in Paris.
They are always very nicely kept, and
the service is excellent. A bower Of
palms and flowers greets you rs you
enter, and the whole appearance Of the
place is inviting. In the first clas estab-
lishments the waiting rooms anC bath
rooms are very handsome. You take
your bath ticket at the door for plain
OF bran bath with towels; a peigbir is
always extra. and so is the lining II the
tubs with a sheet. You can puI ,lase
soaps, combs and brushes, perfunery,
and all toilet articles at counter in the
waiting room. You are allowed half
hour in your bath room, aud bell rings
in your room to warn you il is time TO
vacate when the regulation hour is
reached. OF late years all apartment
houses are being built with bath rooms.
and no doubt the public bath houses will
in time be entirely given over to the
poorer classes. Paris Cor. The Argonaut.

street Car Travel in Manila.

The cars have three compartments; the
middle one, having cushioned seats, is
called first class, and the one at each
end, which has no seats, is second class.
They are open at all sides, and are rough,
clumsily constructed and poorly painted
concerns, carrying a conductor and a
driver, who keeps a police whistle be-
tween his teeth and blows it incessantly
from one end of the line TO the other.
Two little Australian ponies pull each
car, and they go at fair rate Of speed
Sometimes these ponies, which are not
much larger than Joe Emmet's big dog,
and ere quite remarkably intelligent,
take notion 10 balk. Then the driver
gets down, puts his whistle in his pocket,
and, with the assistance Of the conductor,
drags them along the track until they
get ashamed of themselves and are ready
to declare the strike off. The driver and
conductor climb into the car again, the
former resumes his shrill whistling and the
car continues its journey. But, Of course,

eigners who have no social standing ever
