A Horseshoe for Luck.

From the Detroit Free Press.
There is a house in this city which has had a
diminutive horseshoe over its Intel for several
months, but at this writing it is no longer
there. There was party at the house q few
nights ago and the host was talking with one
his wifes friends about superstition.
1T is too ridiculous" he said "Now,
there's the fashion of hanging horseshoe
over the door. never would permit any such
nonsense"
''Bht, my dear sir, You have one over your
door at this very moment" rejoined his guest
Il beg your pardon, but am certain there
is nothing of the kind"
For an answer the lady led the way to the
door and pointed out the good-luck token.
"There" she said, triumphantly. You see
I was right"
But the man of the house went of into a fit
OF laughter that brought the rest Of the COM
pany to the door. His wife asked him to ex-
plain.
"Where did you get that thing?" he asked.
pointing to an object hung up by q blue rib
bon over the door. 1T isn't horseshoe. {"
and he laughed harder than ever
Il know it" answered his wife. "It's a
mules shoe, but it has just as much luck in it:
You see, it isn't nearly as large as horseshoe. !"
"Oh-oh-oh," said her husband, holding
his sides, .'and you hung it up for luck? Why,
1t is one OF my last winters ice taps. I wore
them on my heels to keep from slipping.
Mules shoe? That's too good" and he
laughed again, although this time the laugh
was decidedly against himself.

Fourth, compositors required to remain in the

q NOTE THE RESULT: -

THE STAR HAS MORE THAN
THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR
SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN
FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR
READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY
PAPER IN WASHINGTON. IL is de-
livered regularly by careful carriers at
the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER
THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE
DAY ARE OVER, and IL is thus read
leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY
MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
They know that it prints all the news,
and has only the interests Of the people
OF the District In view, with no partaaan
measures to advocate, and NO private
schemes to forward. They know Il. I'm
short, to be THE PEOPLES PAPER,
and nothing else. As an ADVERTISING
MEDIUM It is, therefore, ABSO-
LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. IL n
In fact worth more as q means Of reach
ing the public THAN ALL THE
OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE
CITY TOGETHER.
Furthermore, I'm proportion to the re-
turns It gives it's patrons, ITS ADVER-
Using RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST
IN THE CITY.

Mistaken Faith.

From the Popular Science Monthly
In one Of the dispatches received by the New
York Times from the scene of the disaster it
was stated that some persons who had been
rescued from the food only to find themselves
sole survivors Of their families had abandoned
all faith in Providence, and had emphasized
their change of mind by casting away their
Bibles This affords an illustration of a kind of
faith that never should have existed These
persons had evidently cherished the idea that.
II they tried to live religiously, Providence
would see that they did not suffer from the
effects either of their own or Of others care
lessness, and that natural agencies of de-
structive character would in some mysterious
way be instructed to pass them over, even
while causing havoc all around. This ex-
pectation having been falsifed by facts
their faith in the divine government is not
only shaken but destroyed. Their stand
point is manifestly less reasonable and noble
one than that of the patriarch Job, who, in the
depth of his trouble, could exclaim, Though
He slay me, yet will l trust Him." Herein lies
lesson for the clergy and for all teachers of
youth. The only stable faith is one that reposes
upon the order Of nature, or at least that fully
accepts that order, and is therefore prepared
for all that may flow from it. The man who
supposes that by any pious observances he can
to even the smallest extent guarantee himself
or his household from fire or blood, from
pestilence, famine or any form of physical
disaster, is virtually fetch worshipper. The
part he strives to make with the power he
recognizes is Of the nature of private bargain,
according to the terms of which exceptions to
the general working of natural laws are to be
made whenever his individual interests
seem to require it. That man, on the other
hand. has rational faith which will never be
put to shame, who, accepting the general
scheme of things Us something fixed, and pre-
pairing himself for all that may necessarily
flow therefrom, strives to make the best DOS
sible life for himself and Others

BOULANGER Is UNHAPPY.
He Hopes, However, for Better Re
ports Later On.

A London special cable to the Philadelphia
Times says: Boulanger was in deep thought
apparently when the Times correspondent saw
him this evening. He had denied himself to
everybody during the day and evidently ex-
pected news from his visitor. On his large Of
fee desk, methodically arranged, was q pile Of
kilograms from every part Of France, telling Of
the results Of the elections in cantons. Bou-
LANCER looked weary. In his hand he held a
volume Of statistics. They looked like dull
reading. His face showed unmistakable signs
of disappointment. When he was asked for
his opinion Of the election, he replied:
81 had expected that you had brought me
fresh news. / have no means Of forming ideas
yet"
He approached the desk and ran his fingers
over the pile Of kilograms and said:
mo, have, as you see, got q large number
how the battle is waging."
He was shown the list which gave republi-
cans 316, conservatives 100, Boulangists IS,
revisionists 6, and Al cantons in which q second
ballot would be required. The general read it
carefully and his brows knitted over his heavy
forehead; then he looked up disdainfully and
said: "Those are only results from about 500
cantons. There are altogether about 1850.
The government have intentionally given out
those adverse to me first so as to influence
public opinion. They strive thus to harm me,
but they will be compelled to declare the
whole lot shortly and then we shall see. I
originally selected eighty districts, but dele
gates came from thirteen others and said that
IL / would not stand they would nominate me
anyhow, and 80 allowed my name to be put
down."

FOLLOWED LEWIS BROS.
Two Mills Compelled to Shut Down Be-
cause Of the Failure.

g. P. Dennis, proprietor Of the Yeadon mills,
at Chester, Pa, and the Todmorden mills, Ban
croft's bank, has decided to close these indus
tries in consequence of the failure Of Lewis
Brothers Co., to whom all the goods made at
these mills were consigned. The general pre-
sumption is that the suspension will be brief.
The worsted mills of Scheppers Brothers, Am
erican and Diamond streets, Philadelphia, were
closed down on Saturday in consequence of the
failure Of Lewis Brothers & Co. The firm, it is
stated, employed over 400 hands, and manufac-
tured both cotton and wooden goods, but prin-
cipally worsteds. Members Of the firm have
announced that no assignment has been made,
and that the closing of the mills is only tenn
porary. They do not desire to continue their
manufacturing until Lewis Brothers & Co.
make q statement to Cornelius N. Bliss, the as
signee, so that the Scheppers may know how
they stand

The Needless Wheelman.

From the Springfield Republican.
We have heard much discussion regarding
the rights Of "wheelmen," and it is high time
something were said for the average citizen on
foot, whose right Of way runs far back of the
invention of bicycles. The riders of these
vehicles have grown utterly regardless of peo-
pie on foot, 80 much SO that one never hears a
whistle sounded when the wheelmen pass over
the cross-walks, and men, women, and children
are left to look out for themselves as best thew
may. The result is any number Of narrow es-
capes and many accidents. One man on his
way to the station was struck by one of these
riders, thrown to the ground, and his hand se-
riously cut, to say nothing to the injury to
clothing. He had carefully scanned the out
look for teams, but this silent rider, who turned
the corner suddenly, ran his victim down and
then disappeared. Another rider of s.the si-
lent steed' pushed his machine" into a big
shop window on Elm street-and took his de-
parture before he could be identified. What is
70 be done to protect the pedestrian from the
wheelman? The least that should be asked IL
that the riders be compelled to toot their whis-
ties vigorously and long before passing the
the Cross walks. Our ancient rights have been
in suspension quite long enough.

chasing this yard from the British g{vernment.
IL IL stated that the syndicate has alkeady been
formed In the east, with a subscribed capital
OF $1,000 600. and that negotiations are pend
