Ono Way to Clear the Score.

Two gentlemen were walking on F
street recently when one said:
"Let's cross the street. There comes a
man to whom owe some money, and l
don't want to meet him."
''Does he dun your
mo; that's the worst of it, He never
speaks of it."
After they had crossed over, the debtor
walked some distance in thoughtful ST.
lence. Then he said, seriously:
Il wish that man would get mad about
it and go at me with club. Ican't paw
him the money. and | wish he would
thrash me libe fury and settle the matter

meet him. "-Washington Post.

A NOTABLE NAN. /.


A NOTABLE MAN.
Captain Isaac Bassett, who
was appointed a page to the
United States Senatein 1881,
at the instance of the Hon.
Daniel Webster. and has been
in it's service continuously for
more than fifty-seven years,
and is sixty eight years old,
was asked by a Washington
correspondent, "How do the
senator's Of the present COM.
pare with the great men who
were here when you were a
bOy?" answered:
swell, it is not right forme
to make comparisons / make,
it a rule never to say any
thing about senator's. ButI
can say that there has been
a change in the manners OF
our public men. They used
to be more dignified and
courtly than they are now.
Perhaps we had greater sem
ators in those days-it seems
SO to me-but we have two
or three now who wouldcom-
pare favorably with the best
of them. think Senators
Sherman and Edmunds are
more like the old-time Sena-
tors. Mr.. Calhoun was like
Webster, in that he was some
times very crossand at other
times very affectionate. An
drew Johnson was one OF the
most uniformly kind and con-
siderate men we ever had in
the senate. Sowas Mr.. Conk-
ling, notwithstanding his
observation-disclosures for auster-
ity. | never saw anything
but polite and courteous to
everybody, and he was par
tic,llarly SO in his demeanor
toward the employees Of the
senate. In my book of remi-
niscences | mean to do Justice

flung his arms wildly about
him, cried out at the topof his
voice, 'Good-by, senator's,

was sergcant-at-arms away
back in the thirties, that il
would be a good thing to
havealittle luncheon set tnear

senators co1ld run out and

them down and setthem upin

Soon he added pickles, nuts,

A DESPERATE PRIZE FIGHT.
Middle Weights Hammer Each Other AL
 most Into Insensibility.

RUTHERFORD, N. J., Jan. 14.-A hard fought battle between two middle weights took place in the ball room of a saloon on ,arly yesterday morning. The contestants were Harry Thompson, of kingsland, and Frank Evans, of Jersey City. It was the third time the men had met, and each had won battle. Both were i'll the pink of con- dition. A well known town official, who had acted i'll the same capacity upon former oc- casions, was chosen as referee. The battle was for Si0O side and the gate receipts.
 In the eigth round Evans forced the fight ing and succeeded in knocking Thompson down just as time was called Thompson plucked up courage in the tenth round and when Evans made the usual rush for him he jumped quickly aside and, following his op- ponent up, struck him heavy blow on the back of the head, sending him to the floor. Evans lay still and everybody thought it was a knock out. Before the expir ation of ten seconds, however, he arose and in a dazed in two good blows before time was called. When the next round was called both men fought like tigers, and until the end of the round knocked each other about like hay bags.
 The men went together with rush at the opening of the twelfth round and their faces presented a horrible appearance. Evans was almost blind. In the thirteenth round their condition was deplorable. When time was called they had to be helped to their corners. The referee then decided the fight draw and the gate money was evenly divided.

Burned Beyond Recovery,

POINT PLEASANT, N. J., Jan. 14-While Mrs. Elizabeth Bennett was alone in her house in this place the skirt of her dress was brushed against the stove and caught fire The first intimation she had of the fact was the smell of burning cloth, and imagining it to come from up stairs, she went up to in vestigate. Then the.. fire, famed by the draught, enveloped her, and she ran scream ing out of the house and across the street to the house of neighbor. In rushing through the hall of this dwelling she set fire to a num- Der of things, and in the parlor set the carpet on fire Two buckets of water were thrown over the unfortunate woman, but without extinguishing the flames, which were finally put out by wrapping heavy overcoat about her. She was frightfully burned, and her recovery is impossible

His Secret Died with Him.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. 14.-Jonathan Reynolds, also known as "Whisco B Line," died here. He took up his abode some twenty five years ago, and made a hut of rough boards, loosely put together, with an old stovepipe projecting from the side It had a cellar, ill one corner of which, on some sticks, was straw bed. Here Reynolds slept, with dog as his companion. Sunlight never gained admittance there. In another part of the structure was place for his horse which was usually in better condition than his own apartment. He lived lonely, isolated life. the secret of which probably goes to the grave with hin,

WARMING AGAINST PESTlLENCE.

The Officials of Vancouver Object to the
 Entry of an Infected Steamer.
 VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. 14-A week ago the steamship Premier arrived here from Seattle, w. '., with big cargo of freight and forty r.issengers, including the J. J. Murphy Dramatic company When the port physician went aboard he discovered that Gus Thomas one of the actors, had the small pox The passengers were not permitted to land, and the steamer was sent to the quar- antine station at Victoria. Friday night the steamer came back with clear bill of health, but the city authorities here would not allow her to land. Repeated efforts were made to run out her lines, but the police lined the wharf, and with axes cut her adrift She finally let go her anchor and remained in the bay all night. Saturday the steamship Islander of the same line came in the bay, rang alongside the Premier and took off part of her passengers, but when she attempted to land the police cut her lines and with drawn revolvers, drove back the crew. Capt Irv- ing, of the Islander, attempted to disperse the police by throwing streams of hot water on them, but the officers pluckily held their ground. Both steamers are now lying off the city and 5000 people are down at the wharfs. All are greatly excited and determined not to let the steamers land. The Islander is evil dently making preparations to try to effect landing, and the fire department has been called out. The mayor says he will keep the steamers away from the wharf by turning streams of water upon them.

Women Ought Not to Labor

II think the women who have beeu en- gagged ill the struggle for equal rights have done some good for women in the direction Of obtaining equal wages for equal work There has also been for many years ten dency Among women in our country to be- come independent-a desire to make their own living-to win their own bread. So many husbands are utterly useless, or worse, that many women hardly feel justified in de- pending entirely on husband for the future They feel somewhat safer to know how to do something, and earn little money them- selves If men were what they ought to be, few women would be allowed to labor-that is to say, to toll. It should be the ambition of every healthy and intelligent man to take care of, to support. to make happy, some woman. As long as women bear the burdens of the world the human race can never at tain anything like splendid civilization. There will be no great generation of men until there has been great generation of women. For my part, I am glad to hear this question discussed-glad to know that thousands of women take some interest in the fortunes and in the misfortunes of their sisters
 ''The question of wages for women is 6 thousand times moro important than sending missionaries to China or to India There is plenty for missionaries to do here And by missionaries do not mean gentlemen ana ladies who distribute tracts or quote Scrip ture to people out of work. If we are to bet ter the condition of men and women we must change their surroundings The tenement house breeds a moral pestilence. There can be in these houses no home, no f1reside, no family, for the reason that there Is no privacy, no walls between them and the rest of the world. There is no sacredness, no feeling this Is ours "-Robert G. Ingersoll in New York World.
