OLD PHO.GHEE.
FARMER BEACH, TELLS 4 LITTLE STORY.

Good people, Tvea tale to tell,
OF one you doubtless know full well;
His name sounds almost like "Chinee,
1t isn't. though; it's "Old Pho-Ghee. "
For many years our town has known
This man; for, like tree or stone,
He stands just where he CHANGED to be
When first he came, this "O:d Pho Ghee. u
So long in just one place he's stood,
Like something made of stone or wood
That all 'ergrown with moss is he;
A curious sight is ''Old Pho Ghee"
When he was born (if facts don't lie,)
Old Father Time just passed him by,
And said He's no account to me,
I'll work no change in "Old Pho Chez"
From that day to this | guess,
He's never made the least progress,
Per contra. as you'll all agree
PROFESSIONS foe is "Old Pho Chez
When those who want our town to grow,
Their plans to others try to show,
He shuts his eyes, he will not see.
Blind as bat is "Old Pho Ghee."
AiA cOunOb WHICH lEIcuQ Oi L EORE6SS Cn66Y
Are lost on his moss covered ear;
As deaf as any adder-he,
A deaf old soul is old Pho Ghee."
he wants no railroads, factories, mills;
The air Of Progress gives him chills;
Let well enough alone, is his plea,
No other tune knows "Old Pho Chez"
He owns large tracts of real estate,
Enough to sink him by its weight;
Twill do no good to you or me,
For it belongs to "Old Pho Chez"
What more of him can l rehearse?
He's locked his heart and hand and purse
Against all progress. Let him be!
No one will mourn for "Old Pho Ghee"
And when he dies-as die he must
Or, rather, shrivel up to dust;
We all will have jubilee
Above the grave of 'Old Pho Ghee

No Time for Fun.

You will frequently hear people
complaining that tLs or that man
is discourteous or self important, SIM
ply because he does not enter upon a
discussion of unimport llt topics when
ever approached by al acquaintance.
The accusation in 80 out Of 100 cases
is unjust. A man may lie ever so So
ciable when he has the lssure time TO
devote TO sociability, bu. when busi-
ness is TO be looked after he cannot
afford to be so, even at the expense of
friendship. Take the mana ging or ex-
ecutive head OF any great business and
when approached during business
hours for sociable purposes he will al
most invariably receive the thought
less intruder very coldly. Take this
same man at leisure and he may be a
Chesterfield. Forty years ago there
was time TO talk. Today there is
scarcely time for action. When the
boy Of today has attained the age of
80 he will fully appreciate this fact,
and in half a century from now the
man who expects mis- neighbor 10 de-
vote an hour or so of his business
time 10 social conversation will be
considered insane. st Louis Globe

How to Make a Hand Grenade.

A Georgia physician writes TO an
Atlanta paper that the solution used
in the hand grenade now offered so
extensively for sale is easily and
cheaply made by taking twenty
pounds or common salt, ten pounds Of
sal ammoniac (muriate OF ammonia, to
be had of any ofdruggisp, and dissolv-
ing in seven gallons OF water. When
dissolved il can be bottled and kept in
each room in the house. In case Of
fire one or two bottles should be
thrown with force into the burning
place, hard enough 10 break them, and
the fire will certainly be extnguished.

IL seems to me TO be very plain from
reading OF the statu that congress
intended that each elector might vote
one ballot each for two candidates for
the position Of delegates 10 the consti-
.utional convention. There Is no pro-
Vision In the statute authorizing or
even permitting d division OF votes
and no provision which says that each
elector shall be entitled 10 three votes.
which he might cast for two or one, or
anything OF the sort. II simply saws
that no elector shall be entitled to vote
for more than two candidates. The
statute Ia very plain 10 my mind, and
its purpose 10 10 allow q minority rep.
resentation In each district, aud the
proper thing 10 do by both parties In
any particular district, Is for the party
who has conceded majority to nomi-
cate two, and the other party TO uOm-
mate one. Where the vute is close
either way, there is no reason why
two should not be nominated on either
ticket and the three receiving tie
highest number OF votes would lie
elected, / do not perceive the neces-
sity or the policy Of either party in
nominating three candidates, uplt IS
their majority in the district is 50
very large that by strict canvass and
instructions to the individual voters
prior to the date Of election they can,
so divide the vote among their own
party as to give their three men the
largest number Of votes This seems
to me to be absolutely impractieable.
There Is no objection under the stat.
ute 10 each party nominating its three
delegates and allowing each elector TO
vote for two Of them, but the danger
to be apprehended from such nomina-
tion Is that the electors will misunder.
stand the statutes and vote for three
instead Of two. Such ballot would
be void aud would have to be cast out
in the counting.
1 trust have made myself plain and
that you will recognize the fact that
this Is simply my judgment given as a
LAWYER and not as attorney general for
the territory.
From the foregoing IL will be seen
that each elector has two votes If be
desires to use them on two candidates,
but II he wishes to vote for only one
he has but one vote. Perhaps it is bet
ter to avoid the use Of the phrase ''two
votes" as confusing, for, as a matter of
fact the voting power possessed by
each elector is no greater than at any
other election. He has the power to
cast one ballot, which may contain
two names, or only one. but must not
contain more than two. Having cast
this one ballot he hss exercised HE
franchise to the fullest extent permis-
sable. All other ideas In regard to
splitting the vote by fractions or pilinV
1t up on one candidate 10y giving him
more than ouevote, must be discarded,
else the ballot east, If not in accord
anoe with the law, will be thrown out.

The Accident Which Befeu n Little Girl
While at Play.


While at Play.
A distressing accident occurred Monday on
Tennessee-st. near Washington, while some lit
tie children were engaged at play. 1t is the
habit of six or seven youngsters to each day
make the state-house lawn their playground
and, as usual, some of the little people gathered
there yesterday. firing of running about the
grounds they crossed the street and played
about the steps leading to the porch of the
Park theater. Running up and down the steps
was great sport, but in a short while it resulted
sdisastrOusly for one of the little innOcents. a
toddling girl, VIII ose age was not over four
years, followed her companions up the steps
and reached the first landing, while the others,
who were feeter of foot, had reached the
ground by the time the above mentioned child
gained the landing. Going to the side to look
down at her companions in some manner she
lost her hold on the support and fell to the
ground, striking on her head and shoulders
with her legs cured under her. She tired to
arise as soon as the stunned feeling passed off,
but was unable to do so. The other children
tried to assist her but the little legs could not
support the body. Two gentlemen from the
state Offices who had seen the child fall
fastened TO her assistance. and just as they ar
rived another gentleman who had saw the
child fall had picked her up and was carrying
her home. The little sufferers name could not
be ascertained, but her appearance indicated
that she was the child of poor parents
who possibly were at work when the acct
dent occurred.

"The sentinelv is RIGHT.
Evansville Courier. ]


THE SENTINEL is right. The Indiana demo-
Gratis are tariff reformers and would not support
a protectionist for president under any circum-
stances. Besides long before the presidential
election OF 1892 a republican congress will have
put into effect the republican doctrine of abol-
ishing the internal revenue system. thus knock
ing the platform from under those distinguished
allies Of the republican party, Samuel j. Ran
dali and David b. Hill. This event to
occur, ought to convince Randall and Hill that
they are in full sympathy with republican
politics. AS for the New York Sun, it has
been a spy and traitor in the democratic camp
ever since 1850.

OBSERVING THE LAW.
The Local Ticket Agents Yield to the In

DAILY Sentinel May AL

ter-State Commerce Act.
Daily Sentinel, May 14.l
"You may depend upon it, the ticket agents
are sticking to the interstate commerce law
pretty closely now" said the agent of one of
the principal lines running into this city yes
terday. THE new law making it a peniten-
tiary otiense to offer one man rate and &C.
eommodation and refuse the same to another
has scared the boys all into submission. The
old law made it an offense punishable by
fine of 5000 but the new law has added TO
are innumerable ways of lodging the law, but
with the penitentiary staring them in the face
agents are going to be very slow about under
taking it. Under the old law the violations
were continual. They were started by the
agents of a well-known road running into Chi
cago, and of course agents of other roads had
to follow suit in order TO hold their own. In
this way rates soon got into more disturbed
condition than they were before tn interstate
commerce law came into existence; but the
pen addition to the new law has patched this
all up. Some of the boys didn't mind the FIVE
thousand-dollar business, but they don't like
the thought of Jacksonville or Michigan CITY,
Moreover as soon as the new law was passed
all ticket agents received communication
from the superintendents of the roads, inelos-
ing copies of the law and informing us that we
would be held responsible for all violations
In other words, the companies weren't going 10
help us out if we got into trouble. We are
the bonded agents of the road, and in case of
violations we and our bondsmen are the ones
who will suffer. But there won't be many vio-
latiOns hereafter, unless j am badly mistaken
