Appearances often Deceptive. q

One day last week Boston business
man, who was at work debating letters
to his stenographer, was interrupted by
II business call from two we'll dressed
men, says the Boston Transcript, why
remained in conversation for some little
time, and then went out. When theO
had gone, the business man turned
his stenographer and said:
''Did you notice the personal appear
ance of those two gentlemenw
"Oh, yes."
"Well, one OF them was a we'll known
publisher of this city, and the other was
prize fighter. Now, which was tho
prize fighter and which was the pub
lisher?"
The girl described one OF the two--a
young man OF agreeable appearance and
pleasing manners.
"That," she said, "was the publisher,
OF course"
''You are mistaken" said her en-
ployer. ''The man you took for the
publisher was the prize fighter, and the
man you took for the prize fighter was
the publisher"
And this was not case where "the
boy lied," either.

A Postomce COMPLICATION.


BLAIR, Neb., May 8O.-tSpecial to THe
BEE.l-The postoffice fight has assumed
very disagreable shape. A former clerk in
the postoffice preferred charges against the
present Incumbent, Miss Cora Clark, charg-
ing her with burning mail matter He made
such an affidavit, which was filed with
George w. Il. Dorsey. He has since taken
1t back, 1t is claimed, ana says he did it
himself, but was influenced to do so by three
prominent business men of the town. these
three men claim no knowledge Of the matter
until he asked them to allow him to make
such an affidavit. Miss Clark was asked to
resign, but refused, and notified the depart
ment requesting an investigation. 1t has
assumed such shape now that it will cause
thorough investigation to clear the matter
up. A postoiiice inspector is expected at any
minute now, in order to settle the guilt on
the proper parties. The general belief is
that the postmlstress is innocent.

AMERICAN HONOR.
II Il to be Maintained by Force II
Necessary. 70

The news Of the recent action of the Ger
man forces ct Samoa has given rise TO quite Q
| commotion among members of the House Of
Representatives, and much indignation is felt
ct the announcement that the Germans intend
to search vessels arriving at Samoa. Repre-
sentative Thomas, Of Illinois, who is partic-
ularly active and influential member Of the
committee on naval affairs, has prepared the
following resolution, which will be presented
to the House at the first opportunity:
whereas, from reports transmitted to Con-
gress BY the President Of the United States and
from current newspaper accounts, the rights
OF American citizens appear to have been
OF the United States jeopardized by the action
OF the German government through its naval
forces in the Samoan Islands; and
Whereas late newspaper dispatches show
that slept have been taken looking to the &C.
QUESTION Of the Samoan Islands by the German
government in violation of the rights and in
| tegrity Of the government with which the gov
eminent Of the United States holds treaty and
, commercial relations, and in violation Of the
treaty rights of the United States:
Therefore be Il Resolped by the Senate and House
Of Representatives of the United States in Congress
assembled, That the President is heHby author
lied and directed to take such steps, forcibly
II deemed expedient, as are necessary and
proper to protect and maintain the honor, dig
nifty and interests of the flag and government
Of the United States, and its citizens, wherever
dispersed, against the acts of the emperor Of
Germany or his forces"
MIR. Thomas is of opinion that his resolution
il preferable to certain others on the same sub
ject already introduced, for the reason that it
proposes something definite and clothes the
President with authority which he believes to
be wanting. He as well az other members Of
the naval committee resent the assumption by
the German government Of the right to search
American vessels. They recall the fact that
up to the war of 1912 (after which the doctrine
of the right Of search was pretty thoroughly
exploded by the position Of the United States
government), and that from the exercise Of
similar authority our own government was
forced to retreat in the case Of the steamer
Trent, when one Of our naval vessels stopped q
British vessel and took of the confederate COM
missioner.
