THE GOYERNOR'S R'SCnAIR

There was enough gubernatorial tim

that Mr.. Ginty spent the entire fore
noon riding up and dowD the
capitol elevator. Ginty was active
enough about the hotel curing
the afternoon and evening, though. He
was everywhere at the sane time, and
whenever he could get an audience of one
person into convenient corner, which
was frequently, he generally left the au-
dience in happy frame of mind. Is was
noticeable that both Ginty and Taylor
keptap eye os each other pretty closely

The brave little woman thought only of the
children 10 her care, and spraDg between
them and the intruder telling them 1t was
a mad dog. She kicked at 1t, her skirts
protecting her, and by the aid of heavy
rule kept il at bay until all the children
he'd fed. The infurIated animal repeat
eddy sprang at her throat, but she was
agile and resolutely held her ground.
When all the children we're gone she des-
perately fought off the dog until she
reached the door, which she pulled TO af-
ter her, and fell fainting outside. The
children in the meantime ran 10 the near
est homo, an eighth of mile distant,
and gave the alarm. Two men soon
came and killed the dog, which bad been
terrorizing the neighborhood for two
days. The grateful parents took up a
subscription and gave the young woman
a fac saddle horse. Her clothes were
literally torn to ribbons during her severe

Horrible Holocaust on Farm Near Arlington.
Nebraska.
ABLINGToN.-At six O'Clock on Friday
morning fire was seen on the farm of
Widow Freeze, one mile out. A posse of
citizens went ont and were Mortified at
finding the charred remains of human
beings, only identified by their statures,
as follows: old lady Freeze, Fred Crate
luschen, his wife and three children
and Fred's brother Louis, scattered
in different parts of the barn among the
horses and COWS, some fifteen of which
were also burned. One theory is foul
play; another is that each one of the
family aimed TO save the animals, and all
failed and were suffCcated suddenly. A
daughter, who is away visiting, is the
only survivor of the family. 1t is re-
ported that the hired man can not be
found.

The King or Denmark at one time
lived in the most obscure poverty for a
number of years. He had an income of
exactly S 200 year. There were five
children to be supported and educated
from this beggarly sum. The young
ladies Of this household learned to cook,
to sew and to do all kinds of housework.
They were obliged to make their own
dresses for many years. No members of
any family SO obscurely placed have
risen to Il more brilliant position than
this Danish family. The head of the
family became the King of Denmark.

GINS OF THOUGHT.

The brightest exercise of charity is
charity toward the charitable.
Ceremonies differ in every country. but
true poIiteness Is ever the same.
The essence of friendship is entireness
a total nsgnsnimity aud trust
Truth is too simple for Is; We do not
like those who unmask our illusions.
It is better TO have wisdom without
learning than learning without wisdom.
Circumstances are the rulers of the

CONGRESSMAN ADAMS, OF Illinois, in ac-
ceptiug republican denomination for
congress, announced himself in favor of
tariff reduction, but claimed that he was
opposed to a reduction made by enemies
OF protection. Mr.. Adams will not find
that an easy seat on the fence next No.
vemher. The democrats are perfectly
willing tc have republicans show exactly
what they favor by amendments to the
Mills bill. They have offered no bill and
no amendment yet that they dare stand
by. The Tribune In its comments on MIR.
Adams remarks says:
1t would oe q mater of qualification to
western republicans if the congress men
on the republican side of the house all
held the views attributed 20 them by Mr.,
Adams and were earnestly bent on re-
iuction of unnecessary tariff taxation.
But what are the factsy The five -epub-
licau members of the ways and means
committee have now been heard from
through the minority report they made
or through speeches made by them since
the opening of the formal debate on the
Mills bill, ana without SNcSplltu tneN
have taken the stand of the dog in the
manger, as obstructiouists, and have ex.
erted themselves to the utmost to block
and clog any and all propositions for the
reform of the tariff.
That newspaper also says of the repab,

The republican members of the ways
and means committee have prepared no
substitute bill except the abominahls
scneme of putting whisky and tobacco
on the free list in order to retain wal
