that is written about this royal toddler is as
tonishing. 1t is stated as remarkable fact
that his manner is simple and natural and
that he appears to have no high opinion of
himself and his heritage. 1t is even remarked
that he says "ah GOO with almost plebeian
intonation, and that he shows most demo-
cratic fondness for lump sugar.

AN OPINION.

The editor of the WilImar Argus re-
ports that on recent visit to st. Paul
he visited some of the wholesale houses,
and was struck with the sallOWnesS and
careworn looks of the employees. This
he attributed entirely to the use of the
electric light without sufficient ventila-
ton. He found that dependency often
overlook these sallow people, and
caused them to seek an early grave. He
uses the picture graphically drawn to
illuminate lesson to restless young
persons not to be allured away from
their picturesque and pleasant rural
homes, ''where nature in all it's grand
eur is pictured out more beautiful than
the artists brush could paint. to be
slaves in dungeons, and to exc out an
existence in the cities" Without i'll
quiry as to the accuracy of the
diagnosis of the electric light in
fuence, OF the fidelity of the gen
eral portraiture, it may be conceded
that teachings of that sort have field
for usefulness. A great many young
people, who flock to the cities with
feverish hopes only of improving their
condition, had much better remain in
the country.

in such way that he can't see straight.
BISMARCK, who is an old hand at diplo-

with the guileless craftsmanship eX-

willy old chancellor was willing enough
to make an agreement with BAYARD

their minds of all apprehensions, but
then he tied them up with all oath of
secrecy that made the agreement of no

PRINCE RUDOLPH's DEATH.

The slowness with which matters pro-
coed in the old world is illustrated by
the fact that it took the German press
two days to find out that Prince RU-
DoLPH died from a pistol shot, and yet
it is not known whether he fired it him
self OF whether it was the deed of an
assassin. An American newspaper man
would have had the correct details in
two hours after the occurrence. There
is really very little foundation for the
statement that the crown prince COM
mitted suicide. There is more proba-
bility in the first theory that he was
killed by jealous husband, and there
is still a more plausible theory that he
was assassinated for political reasons.
But, whatever the cause or manner of
his death, the hardness with which the
details are given out show the represS-
ing influence monarchical government
has upon newspaper enterprise.

FREE SOUP AND SALVATION.

Gen. BOOTH, the London head of the
Salvation Army forces, advances the
theory that free soup and salvation are
twin workers. In pursuance of this
idea, he calls for large contributions
from the charitable to furnish the soup.
The efforts of the other religious agen-
cies have not been on the free soup line,
but substitute self-help for poor relief.
If BoeTH has gathered such vast sums
out of his movement as have been re-
ported, he should be able to make the
soup flow pretty freely with, OF in adj
vance of, salvation. 1t is conceded
that gaunt stomachs are not conducive
to spiritual illumination, but converts
made by soup alone are not likely to
have durable value.

He thought the sea might courage teach;
She had his heart-she thought he sought

The swelling waves keep softly kissing
The strand that ever seems SO willing;
He tried to speak. but kept On missing.
Though heart and mind with love were
thrilling.
As hoy and girl they played together;
As youth and maid in freedom romped;
But now he sought with wedlock' s tether-
His tongue stood still: his heart just
thumped.
His stomach seemed TO seek his shoes;
His knees they shook like autumn leaves:
His courage all he soon did lose;
His elbows trembled in his sleeves.
Her joys were centered on that moment,
In wild delight her heart it futtered;
That moment he thought endless torment;
He blushed, but not word he uttered.

She looked at him with such cupidity;
She only saw his eyes her eyes ill.,,
He looked at her with such stupidity.

did not want to follow it out too Sc

offer terms of compromise to the wife.
The counsel for the wife begged the
court for moments time to consult his
client, and the two went over into the
corner and had talk, very earnest and
serious. Presently the lawyer came
back and said to my friend:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The senate
spent almost the entire day in secret
session. Mr.. Voorhees, reported bill
appropriating $4,000 for the purchase
of an Oil portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
After considerable discussion the bill
was placed on the calendar. Mr.
Chandeliers resolution regarding the
claims of naval officers for arrears of
pay as to longevity was debated, but 20
action was taken on the resolution. Mr..
Sherman presented a letter from the
secretary of the navy with copy of the
concession of the harb0r of PagO-Pago,
made to the United States by the
Samoan gOyernment-referre The
credentials of Senators Morgan and
Dolph for new term were presented
and filed. The senate at 2:10 went into
secret session on the British extradition
treaty. AT o'clock the doors were
opeued and the senate adjourned until
Monday.
THEY REJECTED THE TREATY.
The senate further debated the Brit
ish eXtradition treaty nearly three
1t had been supposed by some that,
with the Objectionable political offenses
section stricken out, it might pass.
especially as it was conceded on all
sides that a treaty for the eXtradition of
embezzlers and forgers was greatly to
be desired by the United States. But,
as was pointed out in the debate this
afternoon, the striking out of the OBJ
jeetionable clause would not remove
that subject from the field of nego-
tiation; nor would the reference
of the treaty to committee
with the understanding that it
should not be reported dis
pose of it. If the treaty as amended
were ratified it would be relegated to
the realm of diplomacy. where the rep
resentatiyes OF the other contracting
power might insist upon having the re-
iected clause inserted again. And a
treaty, it was shown, could not forever
slumber in committees archives
without giving offense. So that in order
to definitely dispose of treaty which
contained any Objectionable features
Whatever it must be rejected. An
earnest effort was made by friends of
the treaty to save it from rejection, but
their labors were in vain and the final
vote against it was greater than had
been eXpected-3S to ID.
