They Can't Get Hid of This Nickel.

About year ago some wag polished off nickel till it only resembled the coin of the realm in size and color. After it had dropped into the bottom of the bob tail car box the driver eyed it sus- piciously, and, evidently thinking the other side of the coin might be all right, he gave the decisive pull and let it pass. From that time to this the company has been endeavoring to get that nickel back on the rascally public. But strange to say, every man who tears open the little envelope containing 1t and its companion piece always ohucks the smooth nickel back into the box.
 Of course no driver can now complain, because the coin always comes out of the company's package. During it's first year of service 1t has taken about 2, 19O trips, and, as 1t is getting thinner and smoother all the time, there is now no hope of it's ever escaping street car service, except through the romantic charity of some kind deliverer or through the final dis solution of the company corporation.- Baltimore American.

tions impo sed by society to which, how ever, Mrs. Harrison is in no way indif- ferent Even the slightest courtesy is promptly acknowledged, and to every card of invitation Mrs. Mckee makes a party call and in her own sweet way makes acceptable her mothers regrets, previously despatched. In making these calls, Mrs. Mckee is usually accompa- nied by guest of the family, and, while appropriately dressed, her toilets are far from sensational. Some idea of her per- sonal freedom may be inferred from the style of her visiting-card, which bears the address of the family home in h. dianapolis and her at-home day, both of which have been crossed out with lead pencil. This certainly is an evidence of social bravery. The little lady frankly confesses that she doesn't care how long it takes the printers to get out the new supply, and SO long as her friends do not complain she will continue to use the old home card.
 It is doubtful whether Mrs. Harrison will be able to continue in the self-im- posed stsyn devotion to postal duty. On an average forty personal letters are re-

MEMORIAL DAY.

Again has come this day of sacred memories, of national inspirations and touching ignifcance-this day that is consecrated to honoring the memory and recalling the deeds of our soldier dead. And once again, with loving hands and deeply reverent hearts, theil comrades in arms have paid their tri . bute of devotion and friendship by placing sweet flowers on their graves. Il is beautiful custom, and one whose significance becomes more deeply touch ing as the passing years sound the last roll call for an increasing number ot those who fought that the nation might live.
 We do we'll as nation to hold in sacred remembrance the memory of the brave men who battled and bled to pre-. serve the glorious emblem of American liberty. We do well as nation to in. spire the rising generations with some ot the love and tenderness that we of con. temporaneous times feel for the battle. scared heroes who remain no less than for the brave men whose glorious privi- lege it has been to die for their country.

is the inspiration of the little ones with the glorious teachings of the dark hours when civil strife threatened the life of the nation that promises most for the preservation of the national spirit. They should be taught, as they were in the days of Washington and Lincoln, that it is foul and dishonorable thing to raise hand to strike one single star from the glorious flag that floats above the nation, telling in its starry folds the story of q national development unexampled in ancient or modern history. In teaching our children and our children's children the glorious significance of this days decorating and its accom-
 panying ceremonies lies the highest hope that not with the last roll call of our living veterans shall the beautiful inspirations and the glorious memories of Memorial day pass into oblivion. And as we remind them of the men whose graves were decorated to-day as we re- call to them the sufferings and the glories, the trials and the triumphs of the brave spirits that have gone to sleep in the service of their country, let us teach them also that those who raised their hands against the flag are again our brothers, that their deed has been condoned and they have been taken back to the nations heart, and to none more closely than to those who met and conquered them on the fields of battle. Let us teach the living and the coming generations the beautiful lesson of national brotherhood and unity that the hero of Appomattox inculcated when amid his triumphs and his glories his great soul breathed out the noble words: Let us have peace.
 Unless we do this we shall miss some of the significance that belongs to Memorial day. In the loving memory of those who sleep in the fower-strewn and tear-bathed graves, in the tender care and regard for those whom death has yet passed both on and off the battle fields, and in the forgiving and brotherly feeling for those whose mistaken views brought on the horrors of the war lie the most beautiful significance and the best inspirations of Memorial day.

PRESIDENT HARRISON sailed away last Sunday on Editor Singerly's yacht when he was expected to attend the memorial service of the Grand Army veterans at Washington. When President Cleye- land took himself on fishing trip on Memorial day the republican papers put sweated drops of blood in their mighty indignation of the insult to the old sol diers. We haven't, however, noticed any of them using double leads to give their opinion of President Harrison s act. Wherefrom we infer that it makes great deal of difference through what spectacles republican editors look at the old soldiers.

THE New York statute which forbids the newspapers from publishing any de. tails of executions of condemned cri1ni- nals by electricity does not operate to prevent them from giving their readers any amount of preliminary notices of the execution, and the consequence is that William Kemmler. the Buffalo murderer, whose taking off by an cleo tric shock has been ordered for some time during the week beginning June 24 is just now the most elaborately written up criminal in the country. If Kemmler lecture platform he would be able to tell some of our slow going Waterbury mer- chants of the benefits of printers ink.

MIR BARNUM's SUCCESSOR.

4 MR BAk N | MS Sl(C ESSOI.
 In electing eX-Cou%ressman Carlos Wrench to the position on the democrat national committee left vacant by the 1death of William II. HnNum the state committee made a wise and sensible selection. Mir French has obtained a national reputation through his eiyice in congress, and has therefore the ad- vantage of being known to the demo- cratic party f'the nation scarcely less prominently than to the party in Con necticut. He is an indefatigable party worker, always ready to make sacrifices that his judgment suggests as Jest for the interests of the party and never plac- ing his personal convenience in the way of party advancement or success. In his capacity as a member of the national committee MT French is sure to continue the efficient, disinterested and self-sacri- ficing work that he has done in other fields for the party and principles to which he is So deeply Attached.
 We congratulate MT French, the state committee and the national committee on his choice.

l have it from reliable source that some delightful innovations in the cast iron code of etiquette may be expected from the ladies of the White House dur ing the coming summer and succeeding winter season. Mrs. Harrison never owned a book of behavior and has no in- tention of buying one. She is a law unto herself and intOlerant of the emptiness of mere forms and fashions in matters where head and heart should dictate. She does not believe in making calls and writing letters arithmetically, de- clincs to be shackled by the dictates of fashion, and boldly declares a preference for the serious, rather than the sensa- tional, for conscience rather than clothes, and for character rather than creden- tias. She has been a student of human nature all her life and cares more for the handclasp of a friend than all the balder- dash that can be put In ream of fash ionable note paper. and values a single rosebud or a sprig of forget-me-not to the gigantic testimonial reared in wire work and Haunting colors.

Baby Mckee is being utilized by the song writers to advertise themselves and their works to a considerable extent. Last week the writer of song called "Bye, Baby, Bye" was at the White House and sung for the ladies of the household the composition which had been respectfully dedicated to Baby Mckee, and this week another composer of a lullaby entitled ''Sleep, Gently, Sleep" spent an evening at the executive mansion and sang to the mother grand mother and infant the song which had been dedicated in a similar way.

 Whatever may be the position of the Republican party upon the subject of prohibition, this administration is look ing af:>nr the record for sobriety of those who apply for office very closely. I heard a story yesterday which fully proves this and shows that the man who is inclined to be convivial had better wait until after he gets his appointment before he lets himself loose.
 ANkan who had excellent backin 2 for a certain position which was but little below that of a cabinet minister, came on with his recommendations and had an interview with the president. There were men upon his papers to whom the president was under obligation and the gentleman himself was in every way competent to perform the duties of the position which he sought. His interview with the president was an exceedingly pleasant one and he came away from the White House with an intimation that he would be appointed in day or two. He was so elated with his success that he went back to his hotel and broke sev- eral bottles of wine with his friends. He kept up his jupilation the next day and on the day afterward was thoroughly sobered up by seeing in the newspapers that another had been appointed to the office which he thought was his. He af- terward learned that some friends of the successful candidate had brought the fact of his little spree to the attention of the president who had at once appointed their man. Now l don't suppose this gentleman had drank so much in ten years as he did in that particular day and a half and I doubt if he will in ten years more, but he just happened to get off his base at an exceedingly unfortunate time.

A Life Saving Drcss.

The problem of life saving dress which shall be what it's name implies is one that hes often been attempted, but in one point or other is as yet unsolved. A Michigan diver claims. however, to have discovered 2 solution.
 The dress is a continuation of divers suit and the famous Paul Boyton rig. It differs from the latter in that 1t is not in- Eated, and resembles the former in that a helmet with contrivances for seeing and breathing forms part of the outfit. The principal garment resembles a child's nightdress, being wide enough at the neck to admit the body, and possessing arms and legs. The neckband is fastened with a simple contrivance, and it is claimed that by means of series of overlapping folds in the junction between the heGdpiece and the lower garment a person incssed can breathe freely.
 Around the waist Is a peculiarly con- structed life preserver, capable of sup porting ten times the weight of large man. and at the feet are leaden soles, the object of which is to maintain the wearer in an upright position in the water. It is claimed that a person can rig himself or hersef-the garment is fitted for wo- men &s well as men-inside of two minutes, and that when once incased sinking is an absolute impossibility. The inventor claims that fully 60 per cent. of people who are supposed to have been drowned are in reality killed by expos ure. To obviate this difficulty the rub Der suit is constructed with view to re- t2ining the heat of the human body and at the same time to protect 1t from the water.-ChicaGo Tribune.
