Girls, Don't Stare.

If the fashionable schools which teach young girls how to walk and sit, and tho pro- per manner in which to enter a room, would also teach them how to look at a stranger in a respectful and kindly manner, or at least not to gaze with a cold and whitening stare of criticism, 1t would materially improve the manners of tho rising generation.
 ARability, cordiality, kindness and ami ability are all wonderfully charming quail. ties in woman. and we all need to cultivate them.
 There never yet was @ woman 50 gifted, wealthy, beautiful or high in social petition that she was not marred by . cold, distant, supercilious bearing. There arc 70 many sorrowful things in life, there arc so many hurts and wounds for all of us, it seems to me that every woman ought to cultivate . sweet manner and kindly glance for the stranger or the acquaintance. It costs noth- ing, and. like ray of sunlight, it warns and strengthens many frostbitten life whereon it falls-Ella Wheeler Wilcox In Omaha Herald.

The Willimantic Bank Case.

WlLLIMANTIC, Conn, Feb. 25.-When Treasurer Boyce of the Willimantic Savings institute, was tried last December for falsifi- cation Of the books, etc, the jury disagreed, although Boyce made admissions which render him liable under the banking laws. Since then he and his friends have labored systematically to scare depositors and em- barrass the bank, in the hope of preventing a retrial. Judge Carpeater, at the request of the state bank commissioners, has enjoined the institute from paying back any deposits for one year. This is done to prevent a run and sacrifice of securities, as the bank is perfectly sound. Boyce will soon be brought to trial

A POLITICAL SENSATION.
Did sherman Prevent Alger's Going Into
 Gen. Harrison,s Cabineto


 Gen. Harrison's Cabinet?
 NEW YORK, Feb 25-The World this morn ing prints the following special dispatch from Columbus, O.:
 A prominent Republican who attended the Michigan club banquet at Detroit, and who is en route to Washington, gave The World correspondent, as coming personally from Gen. Russell A. Alger the following narra- tive:
 Early in December, when Gen. Alger visited President elect Harrison, the latter told the Michigan statesman that he intended to put him in the cabinet as secretary of war and for him to arrange his affairs to that end, which he proceeded to do. When informa- tion reached Senator Sherman that Alger was to go into Harrison's cabinet, he sent one of his trusted heutants to the president elect with q message that if Alger's name came before the senate for con tirmation he would move for an investigation into his methods for securing southern dele gates at the Chicago convention, and that when the facts came out it would be impos- sible to secure his confirmation.
 Immediately after this message was con veyed to Harrison he sent for Senator Mo Milan, of Michigan, by whom he sent a verbal message to Gen. Alger expressing his regret that he found it impossible to make a PAeA>S III iiis SdDillet 1OI DOlu AlSSE and McMillan were indignant, the former declaring that it was 'disgraceful to use a United States senator as a district messen- ger," and that Gen. Harrison could have sent one of his clerks to Michigan q transmitted the message of dismissal by mail" In the meantime Gen. Algea' had learned the true reason for being sponged off the cabinet slate, and when he came to the Lincoln banquet ill this city Feb. 12 he communi- cated the facts to Governor Foraker The latter at once accepted it as the opening of the inevitable battle between himself and Sherman for the ascendancy in Ohio, and made the banquet the occasion to eulogize Alger and sail Sherman as disappointed sulker. The assault was the present cause of the row in the Ohio Republican ranks. Alger, of course, will back Foraker in the great fight to break Shernan's influence and down him ill next falls campaign.

stratford Will Celebrate.

NEW HAVEN, Feb 25.-Stratford is to fall in line with the New England towns which are 250 years old next summer, and celebrate her 25Oth anniversary. The precise date of the settlement of the town is not known, as the records do not run back far enough to give the desired information. It is said on good authority, however, that the founders of the town landed at Sandy Hollow, the channel of the Housatonic river in those years being on the west side of that stream. This was in 1889. They at once erected Congre- gational church, and proceeded to build mp a thriving settlement.

 pressed in Paris-Othcr European News.
 BERLIN, Feb. 25.-The Berlin Post reprints an article from The Weser Zeitung on the Samoan question and remarks that in many respects the views therein taken are correct The article in question rejects the supposition thu. the government came to terms with America owing to Germany's position in re- gard to France, and says:
 Neither under the present nor under any other circumstances would Germany have risiied a rupture with America for such bagatelie. The Samoan white book shows that wherever the actions of German officials were repudiated it was because the officials acted contrary to international law. The press criticisms evoked by the white book were almost entirely directed against the ex- cess of zeal displayed by the German agents, who appeared to be lacking in the statesman like discretion necessary in dealing with the situation. The Samoan reports show an en- deavor to make German annexation or pro- lection appear necessary"
 After stating that the conflict of Dec. Is might have been avoided had the German consul taken more literally his instructions, which were that he should not intervene, but, ill the event of Tainaseses inability to hold his ground, should support negotiations between Tamasese and Mataafa. The Weser Zeitung continues: ''Whether Mataafa' $ peo- pie were led by an American or not is of no consequence, as the American government cannot well be made responsible for the ac- tion of individuals. The German consul, however, by his action undoubtedly burdens his government with such responsibility. The contrast between the attitude of the consul and the government is shown by the white book and therefore is easily ex- plained."
 The Cologne Gazette, violently attacking the Freisinnige press, repeats the demand for the punishment or extradition of the Ameri- can, Klein, as common criminal
 The North German Gazette publishes a map of Upolu, one of the Samoan Islands, a study of which, it declares, leaves no doubt of the preponderance of German interests in Samoa

 ance, Riddled With Shot.
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 25.-Word was received here that Edward McMeriot, known as the 'king of the moonShiners," had been captured on Brush creek, Searoy county, after a desperate fight with sheriff's posse. McMeriot came to this state from Tennessee eight or ten years ago, and in the period named has been running illicit stills in the mountain fastnesses of North Arkansas He has been repeatedly arrested, but has always escaped, on one or two occasions breaking Jail or overpowering the guards. Not long ago Constable Lawson attempted to arrest him, but McMeriot ''got the drop on him. and the officer was forced to plead for his life
 Sheriff Lawrence and Officers Lawson, Drake and Wright followed McMeriot to a house which he made rendezvous for certain of his followers. In answer to their call, Nc Meriot himself appeared in the doorway, and responded to the demand to throw up his hands by firing pistol at Lawson and re- treating into the house. The officers bom- barded the dwelling, sending volIey from shotguns and Winchester rifles through doors and windows. McMeriot ran out and at tempted to reach a thicket of underbrush but the officers followed, firing after him as he ran. He showed fight to the last, shooting several times at the posse, and yielding only when his pistol was shot from his hand and his body was punctured with buckshot He was carried to the Melville jail, where three physicians were employed for some hours ex- tracting shot and dressing the wounds It is said that he will recover.
 None of the posse was fatally wounded. The fight was the most bitter that ever oc- cured in the mountain regions The officers claim that the capture of McMeriot will de press and break up the moonshiners in that section, he being a recognized leader
 The Value of Fine Feathers.
 NEW YORK, Feb 25.-The Press has sent young lady reporter very poorly but decently clad, to various churches for few Sundays past, to see whether DO or people are welcome not Ill such places. The story of the re- porter is to the effect that out of eleven fashionable churches visited she was cordially welcomed at four tolerated, but rather coldly treated at two; given good seats at three, though regarded with apparent curi- osity, and told that there were no seats at two. She was the only poorly dressed person visible at any of the churches.
