Puzzle to an Insured Man.

Nobody knows what an insurance
policy means until he Mas been burned
out. The proprietor of Buffalo repair
shop has been for years carrying po-
icy, says the Courier, not only upon
his goods but also articles left with him
for repairs. These latter we're specially
mentioned in the policy, which was a
very broad instrument in its terms, and
appeared "to be horse high, bull strong,
and pig tight in its power to protect
the man who paid for it. 1t called for
a larger amount than ne would have
placed upon his own property alone,
and he was in the habit of telling people
who left their property with him that
it was amply protected. He was
burned ont the other day, and when he
came to settle with the insurance people
they declined to recognize his claim in
behalf of property left with him for re-
pairs, unless he had in each instance
specifically agreed with the owner that
its loss by fire should be made good,
and charged consideration therefore.
They took this position on the ground
that he was not otherwise responsible
for the property left in his shop. They
asserted that matchmaker, for instance,
is not responsible for watches left WITH
him for repairs, unless he makes ;
special agreement to this effect with
their owners and charges them for it.
If this be true, it is a good thing for
people generally to know. In the case
referred to, the owner of the repair
shop wonders what he has been paying
for all these years.

BrOugh's Tears.

Lionel Brough, who. though best
KNOWN as comic actor, has every claim
to be heard on the questisn of pathos.
writes as follows:
In moving situations 1 always cry I
can't help it. Ny voice goes Of its own
accord. In a certain pathetic scene
of melodrama which l played in Liver
pool with Miss Phillis Hill, we used
every night to agree not to make fools
of ourselves as we called it; and every
night there would be mutual recrimina-
tons at the end of the scene, as I
thought you promised me you wouldn't
cry? Answer Tin the same fearful
voice, with all the makeup washed Off :
so you did, stupid But neither of us
ever regretted the tears. or the way in
which the scene went off with the au-
dience.
IF ever play pathetic scene with
child land in most cases with wo-
mani ! am sure to cry. With men, not
so; as in any domestic trouble of my
own 1 should endeavor to restrain my
tears in telling my sorrows to a man,
but should give them free vent in the
presence of the other sex. don't think
an actor ever eau he said to play pathos
properly unless he feels it.
Those who have seen Mr.. Brough's
admirable performance of the old cab
owner in Retiring" will realize the
value Of his Observation-Disclosures 0ssd
Faces.

Daggers Drawn.

The Indiana Legislature and Governor n
Daggers Drawn.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 6.-The con-
stitutional question which Governor Hovey
has raised in regard to the appointive offices
of the state has alarmed the majority of the
legislature, who apparently did not antici-
pate any check in their plans for taking all
the appointing power away from the gov
ernor.
The democratic majority, however, de-
clines to recede from its outlined course.
OF the thirty seven appointments vested in
the governor the Legislature has taken away
thirty five and now has under Roadway q
bill d, priviDg him Of the remaining two.
Governor hOvey states that he will con-
tinue to veto all bills which msy provide for
placing the appointive power in the hands
of the general assembly. He states that h
will not recede from this position and if not
sustained by the state courts will appeal to
tho United States supreme court. "by pur-
sung the line of action the Legislature has
adopted. said he to-day, 1T may take into
It's own hands at any moment the election

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 12.-At no
time within the memory Of the Oldest soma
tors, have there been 80 few changes to
make in the compost tion of committees at
the beginning of a congress as at present,
or when changes. we're SO likely to be
attended by so little friction. One of the
members of the republican committee to
arrange the committees for this congress
said that he had not even had an application
for a craftsmanship, and that so far IA he
was concerned, at least, it would be impos-
sible to give any idea or the changes that
would be made until after the meeting of
the committee.

IN the West That the Sentimental

WARRINGTON. D. c., March 1.-THE int
tiof department seems pleased with its new
secretary. Its chiefs of divisions and its
hundreds of hold-over officers, welded into
their places by years of service under vari-
Gus heads of the department, have met him
and given their Judgment He is the one
official in whom the whole northwest is in
terested. He has control of the land, Indian
and railroad matters, which must, more or
less, effect the progressive welfare of the
west for many years to come. What the
west wants Is progressive man who, in
Difference to the sentimental ideas of the
east, must be tempered with conservatism.
Mr.. Noble comes from the west, and 30 far
as progressive IDEAS are concerned he may
be said to have them. He understands
thoroughly the struggles of western settlers
and the difficulties which beset them. He
has no rigid, iron clad ideas regarding the
administration of statnte law without refer
encs to equity, but believes IN fairness to
all mon. Without occurring the charge of
being partial to ''Iand thieves and roRues,"
a. Sparks put it, he can deal Justly with
men who have been endeavoring for years
to settle the crest unoccupied lands of the
west. In all o.her matters Secretary Noble
shows strong leanines toward liberality and
equity. 1t may be promised that the west
will not suffer at his hands.
