Howard Jansen's Story.


never meet Howard Jansen without recall
ing thrilling experience which he passed
through years ago while an officer on steamer
plying between San Francisco and Honolulu
Jansen told the story with that simple modesty
which is ever characteristic of brave and
honest nature.
'On the morning on which we were billed to
sail from Honolulu there came aboard the
steamer party of three persons, evidently
Hebrews. All were educated and refined. The
party consisted of a bride and groom and
an elderly gentleman, whom. we afterward
learned, was the brides father We soon be-
came convinced, from the GOODNESS with which
the bride met her new husbands overtures
of affection, that the relations between them
were strangely strained. At last, in fit of
desperation, the poor woman told our sympa-
thetic stewardess the secret of her trouble and
the stewardesS in turn told the captain and my
self. 1t was simple, yet tragic, story of a
daughters devotion. The father had become
financially embarrassed. The rejected lover
had bought up the old mans paper and held
it over his head demanding his daughters hand
as the price OF his sal Walton. The girl, with
heroic sell -sacritice, abandoned the man she
loved, and married this villain TO save her
father, So things went on for awhile One
moonlight night, about 12 o'clock was lean
ing against the rail when | saw a white figure
glide noiselessy from the cabin to the
side Of the ship, hesitate for a moment,
throw up her arms and spring into the
sea. For an instant was transfixed with hor-
ror; then, giving loud cry, sprang after her
She sank before could reach her. Several days
from the time of the sad event the old gentle
man was found in his birth with his throat cut !;
in his hand the deadly knife with which he had
killed himself. Three years afterward was at
the mines. One evening my friend told me tn at
a man who had murdered one of the boys
over faro table would be hanged next morn
ing, and asked me to go and see the condemned
man in his cell. Imagine my astonishment at
reco gnZing the young Hebrew husband whom
had seen on board the steamer. There was no
hanging next DAY. He had severed a blood YES
sci with his teeth and gone in the night,

Trusts in Danger.

Three bills against trusts were introduced
into the Senate the first day of congress,
one by republican senator, and two by
democratic senators. Doubtless bills hav.
ing the same object will be introduced into
the House.
The haste to introduce bills of this kind
shows that the hostility to trusts throughout
the country is very strong, and also that
there is an imperative demand that congress
shall make a supreme effort to get rid of
them. Congressman understand that the
widespread dissatisfaction with condition
of affairs that makes trusts possible may
result in retiring very considerable per
centage of them from public life if a law
against trusts is not enacted promptly.
The sufferers from trusts have an i'm
mense power. The alliances are
thinking of uniting with the labor
organizations, and if they should de-
termine to do SO they could throw the cleo
tions to whichever party they pleased. The
farmers and workingmen are at present de-
batting in st. Louis the question whether
they shall join hands against all who in
their opinion are hostile to their interests.
1t is not to be wondered at, therefore,
that the politicians are anxious to put down
trusts, or do anything else that the allianc es
and labor organizations want done.

4 Fight for a Majority.

The fight which the republicans in the
House propose to make to increase their
majority in that body was virtually begun
yesterday by the appointment of the COM
mittee on rules. The COMMITTEES consists of
three republicans. viz: Speaker Reed, Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Cannon; and two demo.
Gratis, viz: Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Randall.
The programme of the republicans is to
revise the rules 50 as to deprive the minority
of some of its power. The rules were good
enough for the republicans when they were
in the minority, but they don't suit them
now that they are in the maj ority.
1t is understood TO be the intention of the
republicans to unseat seventeen democrats
from the south aud fill their places with re-
publicans. The republican contestants are
IN Washington to render all the aid they
can to carry out this scheme.
The election of democrat to the position
of chaplain in the House showed the repub-
licans how slender their majority is, and
how little they can do toward passing
partisan bills unless their majority is in
creased. 1t will be difficult, however. if
not impossible, for them to increase their
majority without changing the rules, be-
cause, under the rules as they now are, the
democrats can with almost absolute GER
tainty defeat any measure to which they
present a united opposition.
Doubtless the committee on rules will
soon report in favor of changing the rules.
There will, of course be majority and
minority report. and a very lively time
may be expected when these reports are
called up for consideration. The republican
majority at present is only four. aud it will
be very remarkable thing if the republi-
cans are ever able to get all of their men,
bers present at the sa me time. They must
have 166 of their members present in order
TO insure a quorum. Unless that number
of republicans is present the democrats
have only to refuse to. vote to bring bust
ness to stand-still. The fight for change
in the rules will not, in all probability be
long delayed, and will be watched with deep
interest

The House Surprised.

The House had quite a surprise yesterday
"a surprise that was far from pleasant. IL
was informed that c. z. Silcott, the cash
Ter of the sergeant-at-arms of the last
House, had embezzled So, 900 of the money
appropriated to pay the members their
salaries, and had left for parts unknown.
Silcott had evidently determined not to
go out of office empty handed The tempta-
ton to do something toward reducing the
surplus was greater than he could resist.
He appears to have acted honestly up to a
few days before he would have had to give
up his place, and then he took the step that
made him criminal and fugitive.
He seems to have acted with full under
standing of the extradition laws. If he had
taken all the money in the safe he would,
it seems, have been thief, and would have
come within the extradition laws existing
between this.country and about every other
that he drew from the treasury it appears
that be is only an embezzler.
Whether he is an embezzler or common
thief no effort should be spared to arrest
and punish him. The government can well
afford to spend some of its surplus to bring
him to justice in order that his fate may
serve as a warning TO others in the service
of the government who may be exposed TO
temptation.
1t is hardly probable that the government
will lose anything The bond of the
ex-sergeant-at-arms, Leedom, is for $50. 900,
and the bond of Silcott is also for that sum,
but the fact that it is protected should not
prevent it from trying to find the criminal.

a Blow at "Hello."
From. the Neto YORK Sun.

Have you noticed that the girl whose name
you know as Central no longer says hello"
to you?
She doesn't; and no matter how persistently
you greet her with the familiar salutation, she
won't respond in kind. You needn't worry
with the thought that perhaps some more dull
cet-toned voice has won those little amenities
which helped make your interviews with the
invisible young woman a pleasant feature Of
the days business. That isn't ii. Telephone
ethics have banished the hello" 1t has got to
go. 1t has already gone from one end of the
wire, but it will probably be a long time disap-
pearing from the other, the subscribers end. You
can ''hello' yourself hoarse at central without
provoking any greater variety OF reply than:
Number, please.
'Wel don't keep ringing in my ear"
80, dear; can't you walt a minute till ] get
q chance to answerY'
But never hello" And you can sit in the
central office by the hour without hearing the
banished word, unless you put your ear to q
telephone with subscriber at the other end of
the wire
The reason for the change? Nobody knows

The Philadelphia Press says that it is
time that the country understood the dis
tinction between John Wanamaker as a
firm name and trade mark and John
Wanamaker as an individual and as Post
master General. Doubtless the country
would understand it very quickly if Mr..
Wanainaker did not persist in making it
impossible to distinguish it. If he will keep
the trade marks separate from the Post
master General long enough perhaps the
country will be able TO see that there is a
chance for a distinction.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York World interviewed congressman
the other day as to their preference for a
site for the worlds fair. More than half
of those interviewed refused to express
themselves, but of those who did. sixty
seven favored Chicago, forty-eight New
York, twenty-five st. Louis and thirty-six
Washington. Only one Georgia member
is quoted, and he favors New York. When
it comes to voting, however, New York
will doubtless be in the lead, for it is very
apparent that if we are to have fair on a
very large scale, New York is prominently
the place for it.

A few weeks ago the MORNING NEWS
noted that a Brooklyn physician had built
a new nose for Mrs. Hoffman, of that city.
Her nose had been eaten away by nasal
catarrh, and the doctor used chicken bone
upon which to build new one The work
was neatly done, but there was no certainty
that it would last. Now, however, it is pro-
nounced a complete success. The carti-
laginous growth that had been brought
down from the forehead to form the bridge
of the nose has grown enough to support
the organ, and the chicken bone has been
taken out and a thin frame of Stats of ivory
inserted, which is fastened to the cheek
bones on either side. A grip of flesh from
the upper lip to form the septum of the
organ will now be brought up and the
operation will be complete.

Senator Chandler was one of the most
interested listeners to the reading of the
Presidents message" says Washington
special The correspondent probably no
ticed Chandler when that part OF the mes
sage in which the bloody shirt is waved
was being read. At that time, no doubt,
he was all attention. Toe ear which Sena-
tor Blackburn tweaked, as well as the ons
which he did not tweak, was taking in
every word; there was the light of Joy in
nus eye, and, indeed, his whole attitude be-
spoke the kesnest interest aud pleasure. In
al Of this there is nothing creditable to

From the NeU York Times (Ind.)
We see no evidence that President Harrison
was influenced by conscious self distrust in pre-
pairing his first annual message. 1t appears to
be the work of a serene and contented mind
We judge that its author was at no time
harassed by any doubt whether the task before
him might not transcend the resources of his
intellect and his experience. or by any fear that
he might fail to give interest to the information
and value to the advice which it was his duty to
impart TO congress

India, is not engaged to an American girl
after all, and that the girl to whom he was
reported to be engaged is named Turnure,
and not Turnlegeer. Miss Turnure is to be
congratulated upon escaping a titled for
eigner and an ourlandish name at the same

be entitled to renewed congratulations.
