A MEETING of the importers OF New
York was held on Tuesday which had
under consideration the Mckinley bill.
Secretary McKeever said he had talked
with numerous lawyers and Il was
nearly an unanimous opinion among
them that the act was unconstItution-
al because OF the omission Of section 80.
A committee was appointed to devise
some united mode OF action and report
back at a subsequent meeting.

There are some anxious people in
the world who would seem to carry
all its affairs on their own shoulders
Usually they are women, and the
smaller the woman the larger is the
load of care which she voluntarily
assumes. Not many days since-one
of the many stormy days to which
the world has been treated during
the past twelve mOnths-a little lady
sat in a crowded Street-car. She
couldn't have weighed over ninety
pounds with all her wraps on. But
she made her presence manifest. Ev-
cry time the car stopped to take on
a fresh passenger, look of troubled
annoyance came over her face. Fl
nally she could stand it no longer.
She jumped to her feet, motioned
the conductor to stop, saying as she
did so: This is shameful! Crowd

such slippery weather! Think of the

Out she jumped, amid the audible
smiles of her fellow-travelers. When
she reached the sidewalk, she looked
at the retreating car with the salts

can give. She probably thought the
horses would turn in their gratitude
and thank her for her thoughtfulness.

HELIGOLAND.

The relative value of national pos
sessions is curiously illustrated by
the fact that England, with her
100000 square miles of the earth's
surface, receives for this little island
which is not as large as Central
Park, an indemnity representing
about half million square miles of
African soil Even this may prove
less than profitable, for Heligoland
yields an annual revenue of $40, 900,

assert that any European power will
make both ends meet i'll the admin

WHAT MADE GEN. LEE SWEAR.

A gentleman who commanded a
famous Confederate battery during
the war told me that he had about
the same record in profanity that
Washington had. AS Washington
swore at a Lee at Monmouth, so an
other Lee more mildly cursed a pri-
waite soldier at Sharpsburg.
The officer told me he had his bat
terry in line in reserve, and was stand
ing leaning on his sword, when Gen.
Lee and staff rode up. He stopped
and asked some questions, and was
about to ride on when a man came
running from the front as though
the deuce was after him. AS he came
up Lee ordered him to halt
"Where are you going" asked Lee.
81 am going to the rear, sir, for
ammunition" was the frightened re-
ply of the man as he recognized Gen
Lee.
"Open your cartridge-box," sternly
commanded Lee.
The soldier did so, and showed a
full box of cartridges.
What state are you from ?" asked
Lee
From Virginia, sir"
Lee flushed, and asked, "What
county did you come from ?"
From Westmoreland county, sir, 5"
was the answer.
Lee broke forth passionately, you
are a ID liar, sir; no coward ever
came from WestmOreland.
Westmoreland was Lees county.
The gentleman who told me this
knew Lee all his life, and said that
he did not believe that he ever used
an expletive of any kind during his
life except on that occasion.-[ Gin

July FOURTH IN ALA SKA.

The day was favored by a cloudy
sky and a balmy air which con-
tributed largely to the success of
the day. At 10 a. m. a large con-
course of citizens, whose number was
considerably increased by the officers
and passengers of the mail steamer
George w. Elder, assembled in the
old ball room of the ancient Baranoff
castle to witness the exercises. Hon.
John S. Bugbee as president opened
the proceedings and introduced Rev.
A. E. Austin, who delivered the invo-
cation. Gov. Lyman E. Knapp then
followed as orator. His address
was most eloquently delivered and
contained a most useful allusion to
the warnings offered by all republics
of by-gone ages of falling into decay
through excessive prosperity, follow
ed by Righteousness and corruption.

A YANKEE IN ANDERsoNvILLE.


at was near noon of the Goth of
Nav, 1864, that our train came to
stop, in clearing of the pine forest
We had been all expectation for an
hour or more, straining eager eyes
to catch some glimpse of our stop
ping place. 1t was here before us
Looking from our position upon the
railroad toward the southeast, at
the extreme end of the clearing, some
three or four hundred yards away, a
cloud of smoke was curling upward
from rectangular, Observation-Disclosures

smoke, and after much clustering
and cursing we were formed into two
lines giving room for us to pass be-
tween, four deep. After some more
swearing the officer on the white
horse placed himself at the head of
the column and ordered us to march.
This was Wirz, our prison-keeper,
and unhappily our first introduction
to him was not our last. Upon
reaching the enclosure we halted
while a part of our number were
formed into a detachment, and the
remainder were ordered to be placed
upon the rolls of the older detach-
ments already in the pen.

about to enter upon. These many

excites the same curiosity that it did
before we entered upon the months
of suffering that cannot be told.

DIED FOR HIS CHILDREN.

Rarely has q fathers self-sacrifice
for his children received a more
touching illustration than in the case
of Thomas Farquhar of Jersey City,
who was killed on July 10 after
throwing his three little girls off the
railroad track just as an express
train was about to strike them.
Mr. Farquhar had taken his children
for an outing up the Hackensack
river. On the return trip, and when
they had almost reached home, the
children stopped on the railroad
track opposite their house to watch
a passing train. So engrossed were
they that they failed to hear the eX-
press train which came laundering
along on another track. Mr.. Far
quhar did not see the danger until
the train was within I 5 yards of the
party. In an instant he seized two
of the children and threw them over
an embankfnent He turned and
picked up the other little girl and
threw her after the other two, just
as the iron cowcatcher struck him
and threw him up in the air. He fell
back under the wheels and was
frightfully mangled.

gresham Stewart of Vermont said
that the drift of the supreme court
had been constantly in the direction
of Capitalization; he deprecated this,
and declared that, although repub-
lican, he was yet "a state rights
man." Stewart voted for the force
bill, which strikes heavier blow at
state rights than has been aimed in
this generation, but he evidently
acted then contrary to his convic-
lions, as we believe was really the
case.-[Springheld Republican.
What the Lodge Bill VIII Cost.
The enforcement of such a law as
the proposed Federal-Elections Law
will saddle upon the country an ex-
pense variously estimated at from
$4,000, 900 to $15, 100000 for
every election that is held. 1t will
cost million and a half dollars for
chief supervisors, six millions or
more for supervisors, and four to
five millions for deputy marshals.
Are the people, in the present condi-
ton of the national finances, and in
the depressed financial condition
that they themselves are in, prepared
to spend this much money for mere
partisan luxury? Are members who
support this shameful bill and who
are pooh-poohing its cost on the
floor of the House, prepared to
answer to their constituents for the
imposition upon them of this new
and needless burden? These are too
serious questions to be put off with
out answer until the day of reckon
ing, when answers will be of no
avail The member who is wise will

An Important Legal Decision.

An important decision has just
been rendered by Judge Tyler of the
state supreme court in reference to
liabilities of the towns in the state
for injuries to persons and property
on the highways. The case in ques-
tion is that of Charles E. Bates and
wife against the village of Rutland,
to recover damages for injuries sus-
tanned by Mrs Bates by being
thrown from carriage near the vii
lage stone crusher, it being set up as
claim that the horse was frightened
by the machinery. The case was
heard at the September term of
court, 1889, Judge Powers presiding
The jury brought in a verdict for
plaintiff to recover $500 damages
and costs An appeal was taken to
the supreme court and heard in Janu-
airy last by four members of the court
and the opinion assigned to Judge
Tyler, who now hands down the
opinion, and files the decision as fol-
lows: I'm this case the clerk may
