BRET HARrE EXPLAINS.

BRET HARTE EXPLAINS.
ran across Bret Harte the other day at a
reception and reproached him for some re-
marks once made by him which reflected
upon me. told him that it was hardly
fair for him to build up his own reputation
euchre, especially with a Chinaman, and
made him admit right there before every
one that he did not mean any disrespect
when he said:
"And gazed upon Nye and Nye gazed upon
And be rose with sigh and he said: Can this
beS
And he went for that heather Chinee."
Mr.. Harte's hair is now white, also his
mustache, but his face is ruddy. He has
shaved off the side whiskers he used to
wear and his eyeglasses dangle by a string.
He does not seem to have lost any of his
American ways, at least did not mott ce
that he had done so.
Speaking of euchre and kindred games
reminds me of little incident which oc-
CURED on the steamer coming over from
America. You see on an ocean steamer a
miniature world. There are various kinds
of people from everywhere, all thrown to-
gether for a week perhaps, and manifesting
their queer characteristics.
.
New York, our stoker gave up to the heat
and died. he was brought on deck to get
what air there was, for we were in the gulf
stream and even the passengers painted in
the shade. Inside the smoking room a
party of men were playing poker and an in
teresting jack pot was in the center of the
table. Red, white and blue chips were
poked forward, oae after another, till spec
tators held their breath. Outside the stoker
was gasping at long intervals and waiting
for death.
At this moment the fresh young man with
the Kodak camera came along. He isevery.
where this summer with his little Kodak.
He is even in Paris and London making
views of respectable American citizens who
are abroad for the purpose of having mid
ding good time and not for the purpose of
having their pictuaes taken. In fact, they
would pay small bonus not to have their
their pictures taken sometimes.
Well, the breezy youth got ready and
with good light on the face of the dying
man, was about to enrich his collection
when a gentleman from New Orleans, who
really had the best hand for the Jackpot,
saw the performance. He rose with sigh,
and, throwing down his hand, face up, so as
to lose the Jackpot, he went to the port
hole and said: "Young man, if you do that
I will throw you and your cursed concentina
into the hungry sea. may be wicked
regenerate, but if you dare to photograph
that poor devil on the shores of eternity just
to brag about it when you get home you
will in less than two minutes make the
loudest plunk that the Atlantic ocean has
been the recipient of for some time"
He then resumed his wicked game of
draw.-BiU Nye in Ne,o York World.

Indigestion

Is not only distressing complaint, of
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerablo
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
Is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending nv existence. Fer more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
ali. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me
new lease of ife."

WE CALL the attention of our readers
to communication in to.day's issue
from the acting Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue, Mr.. L. Henderson, relative
to adulterated food in the District Of
Columbia. The article is worthy of care
full perusal and immediate action, and
every provision is made by the authori-
ties for the accomplishment Of the de-
sired purpose. if those most interested
will do their part in their own defense.
The law providing against adulteratiou
in food and drink is weak only in its
lack of provision against the adultcra-
ton of liquors other than malt. Bad
whisky certainly does enough harm to
warrant its improvement by legal COM
pulsion.

THE OUTLINE of Consul Sewall's testi.
mony before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, printed in another
column, reads like romance, so incredi.
BILE seems the statement that Germany
and Great Britain entered into an agree
ment to parcel about the islands of the
Pacific between them, wholly regardless
of treaty stipulations. The history of
the supine non-action Of our own State
Department in the matter whereby the
term American became synonym for
faithlessness and cowardice is equally
difficult to believe.

REPRESENTATIVES, KTLeoRE of Texas. in
his speech Monday on the City Postoffice
bill, said: "Beside, 1 take 1t that an ad,

and all others providing for public inns
provements in Washington. There has
never been, to my knowledge, a public
improvement prosecuted in this city
which did not wind up with scandal
more or less disgraceful. There should
be provision in the bill. If this purchase
is to be made, for the appointment of a
Congressional committee with authority
to sit in vacation and to send fo- persons
and papers to investigate the scandal
which must inevitably grow out of this
transaction"
We nominate Mr. G. Buckley Kilgore
Of Texes as chairman OF that committee
