YESTERDAY AND TODAY.

The Accident of Fortune-The Second
 Generation-Young Melodies.
 In these days when so many men who were born in the gutter die in palace, when the accident of fortune, rather than that of birth, determines a mans social status, it becomes young men and maidens to study and thor oughly comprehend the essentials which go to make up gentlemen and ladies'
 No one can say that in this free country he has no chance There is chance for every one to become what every one seems to think the noblest, highest, most to be desired cond1- tion-very rich-but there is also chance for every one to become a man in it's brightest sense, gentleman according to the type rec ognized by intelligence, virtue, honor, self abnegation.
 limitations, whether in jewelry, fabric or manhood, are readily recognized. There is superfciality of polish, a gaudy stickiness of varnish, an unpleasant prominence of trait about limitations which fortunately the solid, genuine material does not need. As in a museum one can find gathered by the hand of enterprise curiosities from all portions of the globe, so in city may be found, drawn by a common magnet of ambition, all the odd de- velopments of human nature, and one of the strangest features of metropolitan experience is the extraordinary growths which are ap- parent 1n the second generaIlOn, eAUfaoTuIH- ary growths in directions utterly foreign to any seed supposed to exist in the parent stock.
 The boatman of yesterday produces the dude of today. The corner groceryman of twenty years ago ef1oresces into the Fitz- noodle of this year. The practical butcher of the past is transformed into the manikin of the present. The honest, painstaking, in- dustrious self denver, who for forty years put head and heart and hand at severest toll in order that his pocket might be filled, pro duces in the second generation an empty headed, idle handed, shriveled hearted spend thrift, of no use to himself or any of his fel- low creatures.
 If you let the namby pamby German danc- CTS of the day, the fippant waltzers of the period, the slippers of absinthe and the gulp- CTS of brandy and soda, the pallid faced, weak eyed, bifurcated bearded, overdressed fops answer, they will drawl out that they, in their many colored gaudiments of apparel, 1 are the true gentry, and will blush to tell you how the money they so recklessly waste and prodigally squander was made and saved by their brawny ancestors It is difficult to speak of the alleged 'ladies" whose names appear in our society columns day after day, the same sickening list of fatulent melodies, because one hesitates to pillory non-combat- ants.-Joe Howard in Boston Globe.

The Crown Prince Worse.

A special to the Pioneer Press dated
February 18th says:
Every day brings more unfavorable
news from San Reno and the belief is
general now that the days of the crown
prince are numbered. He passed an
other uneasy night last night and his
coughing and nervousness kept him
awake and in great discomfort. Doc
tors Howell and Krause took turns
watching by his bedside and did not
think it advisable to leave him mo-
ment without immediate medical at
tendance. The old emperor has made
arrangements to visit the prince if DR..
Bergman reports continuance of the
unfavorable symptoms which now pre-
vail. Everything now points to very
serious and threatening condition of the
disease, whatever it may be, despite the
optimistic bulletins which the physi-
clans manage to concoct for the news
papers without committing themselves
to any positive statements concerning
the ultimate outcome. In order to re-
ieVe the fatigues of the journey from
Berlin to San Reno which the aged
kaiser is ill-able to support, he will halt
for two days at Munich to rest and re-
cuperate. In that city Prince Luitpold
the regent of Bavaria, has ordered
rooms to be prepared for the emperor's
occupancy in the Weltelsbach palace.
The doctors now about the crown prince
are afraid 20 say anything beyond their
cautious affirmations in the, bulletinslest
they should commit themselves by some
chance answer to a question, and, they
have consequently declined hereafter
to see journalists. DR.. Bergman has
complained of the continual publication
of details of the crown princes condi-
lion, which could have been obtained
only through his medical attendants,
and they have therefore shut down on
all reporters.

court house has not been injured and
stands alone. All around it is ruin and
desolation, and is IS now being used as
hos pital for the wounded. Many are
suffering greatly.
The Grew block which entirely de-
molished, caught fire in a short time.
Four men in Evans bank were impris-
oned in the ruins of the building and
burned to death. The cries of pain and
distress were agonizing in the extreme,
but none ceuld reach them. A pa
thetic incident of the disaster is the fact
that the operator at the Mount Vernon
end of the Louisville & Nashville wire,
whose name is YearWood, has an uncle,
aunt and cousins dead in the ruins, and
the poor fellow with hisiheart bursting
with grief is sitting manfully at his post
of duty.
At a. N the fires were under control
and guards have been placed on duty
TO protect the property as much as pos
sible. A meeting of business men was
held and committees appointed to care
for the dead and wounded.

Before leaving for the Hot Springs,
Judge Severance decided the reward
in the Miller horse-stealing case in ia
vor of Geo. W. Blake and Frank End
ers, holding that the sheriff and police
officers, who were also contestants for
the reward, simply acted in the line of
their duty.
This is an important ruling. The
courts have heretofore held that officers
of the law are not entitled to rewards
offered by private individuals for the
arrest of criminals, and the statute ex-
pressly provides that sherifs shall re-
ceive no other fees than provided by
law. The law under which the horse
thief bounty is paid makes 1t applicable
to ''any person. and by it's terms offic-
ers are not included. The practice has
been to pay the bounty of officers This
decision rules them out = Mamkato
Reviea0. Judge Weber rendered a
conflicting opinion a short time ago
granting Sheriff Schmid part sof the
State bounty in similar case.

ture of ''ReY. Petroleum Vesuvius Mas
by" letter purporting to come from
an ignorant, penniless Kentucky Demo
crat who was DEVOTED to free whiskey
and the perpetuation of slavery and
who desired to be a postmaster The
development of this character with var

Of the deep impression she had made on

II was arranged that the fight should
come off after working hours in a vacant
lot in the rear Of the factory. When the
hour arrived the men formed a ring and
told the girls that everything was ready.
The two feminine principals then rolled
up their sleeves and spared cautiously
for an opening while the men looked on
in establishment at the display Of real
smuggling tactics. They had expected TO
see a hair pulling match, but to their sur

no male amateurs could have given a
more earnest exhibition oG hitting and
stopping.
After they had fought about ten min

them to cease hostilities. They agreed
TO finish the fight again, but were pre-
vented.
