Street Gar Etlquet.

Always speak in loud tone Of voice in
horse car. II attracts attention.
Never tell the conductor where you wish
to get of. He is supposed to know.
Never thank the man who gives You his
seat He might think you wanted 10 ilut
with him.
If you have three or four bundles lay
them on the seat beside you, especially II
the csr is crowded. You will not be So
crowded yourself.
Always stay down Town town until $50
or 6 p. m. This will give you a chance TO
make somebody who has been standing all
day give you his seat.
Always try to stop the car on the neOr
side of the crossing. You will have to
walk to the other side and this makes a
good excuse for jawirg the conductor.
ID not wait for the car to stop before
getting of, but alieht with your face to the
rear OF the car. The result will be uu-
pleasant. but you will have shown your
independence.
If you leave a lady friend in the car al
ways kiss her and tell her TO "be cure and
call' before getting off This gives the
horses a chance to rest and pleases the con-
ductOr.

FOR GENTLEMEN.

Never give your seat to lady unless
she is young and pretty.
Make practice Of splitting on the floor.
Do not omit it if lady IS sitting opposite
you.
If you have a plugged nickel give it to
the conductor for your fare. He Will have
to make it good
Always smoke on the rear platform.
Ladies who dislike tobacco rmoke will be
enabled to get accustomed 20 it.
It is a good plan to read a newspaper in
the street cara. It gives you an excuse for
not noticing that lady wants a seat.
II there are any pretty girls on the car
stare at them hard and persistently. This
has tenpancy to make them feel comfort
able.
Make a practice of wbistlingin the cars.
Your travelling companions will be obliged
TO hear it and they may possibly delight
in listening.
Cross your legs 80 that they will occupy
the full width Of the aisle. This will afford
additional exercise to the conductor, who
is badly in need of it.

those teemiug years after lo3O, when pOsts
arew On every hedge and the romantic
oss3ion was abi0ld T1e sketch had ap-
paared in q little privately printed volume
which L iwa-d Wallace had picked mp by
chance on the Paris quaJs. He had read
IL in sn idle hour in a railway car, had
seen it's capabilities and had forthwith set
To work to develop the sketch into a
play. But in developing 1t he had care
fully preserved the character oil the
original conception. It was a conception
strictly of the Romantic time, and the exc
cution of it presented very little OF tnat
variety of tone which modern audiences
have learned 70 expect The play told one
rapid. hrathless story of love, jealousy,
despair and death, end told it directly
and uninterruptedly without any lighter
interludes. Author and sdapter alike
had trusted entirely to the tragic
force of the situation and
the universally of the motives appealed
to. Tue diction cf the piece was the die
ton of Alfred de Vigay or Of the school OF
Victor Hugo 1t was, indeed, rather
dramatic love poem than a play 10 the
modern sense. and it depended altogether
for its success upon the two characters
Macias and ElyiTa.
In deyising the character Of Maciss the
italian author had made use of trGdi-
tional Spanish type, which has its histO-
rical sources, and has inspired many
Spanish poet from the Fifteenth century
downward. Mscias is knight, poet and
lover: his love is a kind OF southern mad
ness which withers every other feeling in
its neighborhood, and his tragic death is
the only natural ending to career so fierce
and uncontrolled. ElviIa, with whom
Macias IS in love, the daughter Of NunO
Fernando. is embodied gentleness and
virtue, until the fierce progress Of her fate
has taught her that men are treacherOus
and the world cruel. For her love had
been prosperous and smooth until by
series of events it had been brought into
antagonism with two opposing interests
those of her father and Of certain Fernan
Perez the tool and fayorite Of the power
ful Duke Of Villena The ambition and
selfish passion of these two men are enlist

sweep Macias ont of the path of his own
nolifcsl advancement. The intrigue de-

into a marriage with Perez, and Macias,

further than the fac. that they were from

a WOlfAN's HEROIslf.

The Government had confscated his
estates upon learning Of his revolutionary
sympathies, but restored them in part when
informed of the fate which had overtaken
him. The mask was placed upon his head,
for he was unpleasant to look upon.
Bot the heroism of one woman was
shOWn-the heroism of his fsnce. She
was a countess and the daughter of house
as famous and powerful in Russia as was
his own. She was heartbroken when told
Of the fiendish act, and the meeting be-
tween the lovers was touching in the ex-
IRENE. With sOrrowful heart, he offered
to break the engagement and make her
free again. But the brave woman refused,
and declared that she would remain with
him till death took her away. And they
we're married in the little church On the
old estate, attended by their relatives and
friends. And on their wedding day they
started fer the blind asylum in Stegliiz,
whare they had hopes Of restoring the poor
man's sight And here his wife attends
him with unfailing devotion and prays for
the day when the eillcted nObleman can
again look upon her face.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

Rumors were rife, as was natural. and
many lngenius stories constructed to &C.
count for the strange imprisonment. But
the mystery has at last been solved, and
the Man Of the linen mask" proved to be
the hero of strange and touching tale.
a year before the death OF the late Car
Of Russia, although ;he scion of a high and
mighty family, the young nobleman, like
so many Of his class, became interested in
the trials and hopes Of the Nihilists Time
snd association made him one of their
symDsthizers and assistants. When the
murder OF the Emperor was planned, un-
fortunately the execution of the dreadful
deed fell to him. The news staggered him.
His oath bound him to the Nihilists, his
family ties to the Car. Thoughts of his
people and the attendant disgrace inhu-
enced him, and finally deferred him; he
refused to commit the crime A year
passed by. Another revOlutionist had
thrown the bomb which he had declined TO
do, and Alexander was dead. He bad FOR
gotten almost that he had bsen a Nihilist (;
but not 80 those whom he had forsaken.
Passing along one of the principal strtets
ofSt Petersburg, when about to greet a lady
on the opposite side, something was dashed
into his face, and in moment the light
Of day had gone. His mouth was delormed,
his cheeks burned snd disfgured. Il was
the work Of Mill st, before whose mod
ern irquisition he had been found wanting;
yitriol had performed the work Mad with
pain, he was taken to his home, but the
injury was beyond reparaticn, and the

WICHITA'S FREIGHT RATE CASE.

Special Dispatch to tho Globe Democrat.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 1.-THE state
board of railroad commissioners rem
dered q decision today affirming its for
mer decision in the Wichita rate case,
giving that city the benefit of Missouri
river rates, and recommending that the
new rate be made effective by the rail
road companies by July l. The matter
has been pending before the board for
some time, and has been the subject of
various consultations between the rail-
roads, the shippers and the railroad COM
missioners. In March last the manufac-
turers. shippers and citizens of Wichita
complained to the board of discrimina-
lions upon certain classes of freight
rats over the railroads operating to the
prejudice of the Wichita manufacturing
and wholesale business established at
that point.
After an official visit to Wichita by
the board, and after a hearing before
them, in which the railroad and the
complainants We're heard, the board
made its finding in substance
that the discrimination alleged
existed, and prescribed an order.
which, in the judgment of
the board, would effect the abatement
of the determinations. The decision re-
sponded simply to the specific charges
in the complaint. the board says it was
subjected to a species OF criticism pend
ing the rehearing, which has evidently
proceeded from total misconception of
the scope of the former decision, and the
character and extent of the authority
conferred by the statute upon the board"
This criticism the board deemed it prop
er TO notice in the present decision. 1t
is denied that Wichita was given rates
which were denied to other places in the
state equally entitled to the same. The
board is Judicial institution, and it can
not take judicial notice of matters not
regularly brought TO its notice. and it
can not determine question until the
parties interested have been duly heard.
Wichita only made complaint, and re-
lief could only be extended TO that city.
The same right that Wichita has exer-
cised,' says the board, exists in favor
of all other parties to submit by means
of complaint and grievance, and it is
within the province of this board TO ap-
ply such remedial measures as the board
has been authorized to administer.
The report is largely devoted TO tabu-
lated comparisons of existing rates from
Kansas City and Wichita to other points,
which show the discrimination COM
planned of.

TIE F. F. KS.

Lawrence Journal
The Topeka Journal growls because
Dick Walker, Attorney General Kellogg
and other state officials share the honors
and emoluments of Office with their fam
lilies. Some people make point of grumb-
ling at everything. Dick Walker Is per-
fectly right in defending his action. With
that deep religious feeling which has
ever characterized him, he well quotes,
He that provideth not for his own
family is worse than an infldeL" The
mistake lies deeper than these superficial
critics appreciate. There are not offices
enough to go round. There are not holes
enough to hold the sticks. 1t is true the
last legislature did all in their power to
supply the shortage, but the fact
remains that they did not &C
complish all that might be done.
They put the asylum on short
ratlons, which was commendable, as the
insane and other state charges have been
living too high lately, but they did not
create offices in sufficient abundance.
''These things We ought to have done
and not to have left the others undone."
There are a great many offices needed
to properly care for all the people of the
state. A state inspector of baking pow
der is imperatively demanded. The
analysis of some of these compounds is
startling and suggests possibilities Of
death more threatening than even Kaw
river water when the water works are
not in the hands of receiver. Then,
there is the matter of patent medicines,
which has never received proper atten-
ton. A state inspector and tester should
be provided for. We do not intend to
name all the offices required by any
means, but have, we trust, said enough
to induce serious thought. The people
will never be satisfied until it becomes
settled policy of government to provide
an Office for every citizen and every
citizen shall be enabled to realize that
noble ambition-the loftiest which can
sway any nature-to live an easy
life at the expense of the state. Of
course, in the matter of which the Jour
nal so squeamishly complains, the whole
matter could be settled by the people
themselves. Let the tickets indicate the
size of the candidates family. AS for
instance, "For Governor, John Smith,
-four children, present and accounted
for,C or "James Jones, (six children)."
1t can thus be instantaneously deter
mined which family will be most in the
way of the ''boys" who are to elect the
candidate. AS for the wife, let it be I'M
derstood that she is as much elected as
her husband, and is entitled ex-officio
to the office next his own. 1t will take
some time to educate our people up to
these propositions, but the time is com
ing when a public office will be regarded
as the private property of the incum-
bent, and laws will be enacted to pre-
vent any lawless person from conspiring
to get it away from him. But until that
time comes we shall expect Frank Nc
Lehman to kick.
