We notify all Of the Sons who have been
watching with anxiety the slow progress OF tho
bill for their incorporation, that this important
measure came up in its turn among a lot OF PEN
sion bills in the Senate on Saturday. with tho
result indicated by the Congressional Record:
THE bill Is SAID to Incorporate the Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution announced the
next bill on the calendar.
Mr. CocKRELL-The Senator reporting that bill is
not and probably 1t had better be passed
The President pro tempoTe-It will DO passed over"
1t ras passed over The Senator reporting
that bill was the Hon. WILLIAM MAXWELL
EvARTs. The eyes Of all the Sons were upon
him. He was the friend Of the Sons. and. In
the Legislative sense. the Father OF the Sons.
Yet when the critical moment came. Mr..
EvARTs was not at his post. The Senate was
there, the Sons were there the giant shades Of
the Revolutionary sres thronRed the upper
atmosphere all expeotant; but Mr.. EVABTs
was elsewhere. The incomplete conjunction
dissolved, the opportunity was lost and the
bill went over. We hate to say single word
unpleasant for Mr. EvARTs to read. but 1t is our
opinion that the Sons would do we'll to secure
another and more persistent Father.

1t is the custom Of republican
speakers in and out Of Congress 10
draw comparisons between American
labOrcr8 and the lahorcrs Of the old
world. And this is do to show
that the l45orer OF this country is in
far better condition than his unfOr-
tunate brother there. Ii the poor
man IN Europe who has to live by
the sweat Of his face is not as well
off in life as his brother in America &,
it is not because Of Tic unjust and
ineQuable laws put on the statute
books, but because Of the condition
of society in that country and the
surroundings, such as the denseness
of the population, the surplus of
labo-, and the want OF demand for
labor. To make such comparisons
Of labor in two countries so unlike.
where there is no demand for labor
ia the one, and where the demand
can net be supplied in the other.
without stating these facts, shows
an inter disregard of the truth and
a purpose to misle2d and deceive !;
or it demonstrates supreme and
criminal ignorance Of the laws Of po-
litical economy ana the laws of IA
tu-e, Europe and all Asia are
crowded almost 10 their utmost
capacity. They aTe like hee-hiyes,
they have increased, until the young

behold tie swarmS OF the people from

the hundred thousands yearly in the
city Of New York.
o. course la3or IS better paid in
dollars AMI cents in the New World
wEece the supply is small and the
demand is great, than it is in the
iOil World where the supply is grea'
and the dcmaul is sRall. And i
all things else were eqlat 10 bott
countries, then the lahorer and poo
man in the New World would b.
twice as well OFT as the same mar
would be in the Old World. Blu
although labor in Europe is low
counted in dollars and cents, sc
when we consider the purchasinI
power of money in the two countries
we shall fad that one dollar In Eu'

Presently some one spoke to- the sheriff

The prisoner sprang to his feet and

st. Peters Privileged Beggar.

A beggar, who for thirty years has
been familiar figure in st. Peters,
Rome, has Just died suddenly from ap-
Oplexy, as he was leaving the Basilica.
Some curious circumstances are re-
lated in connection with this man.
whose name was Pietro Marcolini. He
was the only mendicant who was per-
mitted to follow his calling within the
church itself, Plus TX. having granted
him that privilege. Leo XIII con-
frmed it later, and also, like his prede-
cessor, granted an audience to the beg
gar, who was lame and afflicted.
When Marcolini was received by
Plus TX, he complained of the cold he
felt within the church, whereupon the
Pope bestowed upon him an old warm
dressing gown of his own. The gar
ment, however, the beggar wore only
on great occasions and the more solemn
festivities of the church. He had re-
peatedly been offered large sums for il
by foreigners, but always refused to
part with it.
1t is said that Plus TX, when he went
into st. Peters, was always highly
amused to see the beggar seated there,
majestically wrapped in his old dress
ing gown. The garment will, presum-
ably, descend as an heirloom to Marco
lini's children, together with the snug
little fortune of $4,000 francs, which he
had accumulated during thirty years of
begging. Eng. Telegraph.

Shocking a New House. maiden.

DR.. Smally has an old man, who is
yet somewhat sprightly, to do chores
about the house, in the barn, in the
garden and in various other capacities
to pay for the board and little pocket
money besides, which the Doctor gives
him to keep him out of the alms-house.
Last Tuesday morning, however,
Burns Gas the old man is called
shocked the modesty of the new house
maiden the Doctor had hired, or rather
frightened her so that it required much
difficulty on the part of the Doctor to
assure her that she was safe and not in
an insane asylum.
The former house-worker, who had
gone away to be married, had made use
of Burns in various capacities about the
kitchen, such as to polish the tins,
sweep the kitchen, bring the clothes off
the lines, wash dishes and in various
other ways made the old man Tighten
her daily labors. If the work was dis
tasteful to him he never said as much,
and when the new servant took hold, he
sought to do his usual share of the
days routine labors, to her utter aston
ishment. However, she never inter-
fered in whatever Burns did, thinking
him mild case of insanity that the
Doctor was probably trying to cure.
About 10 o'clock on the morning in
question, she completed her preparations
for ironing some of the clothes that
were out on the lines to dry, while
Burns sat by the window reading. He
was evidently greatly pleased at some
thing he was reading, for slapping his
knee with his hand, he haw-baw-hawed
loud enough to waken the dead, and
seeing the preparations for ironing were
complete, he arose and advanced to-
ward the new maid, saying:
Shall 1 take your clothes off now?"
The new girl, not knowing the old
mans eyes were sparkling at the
amusement created by the article in
the paper, and having temporarily for
gotten about her wash, believed she
was about to be the victim of a Wild
eyed lunatic, gave one shrek of holy
horror and tainted The Doctor was
alarmed at the shrek and Immediately
appeared on the scene, but she became
so hysterical that it was long time be-
fore he succeeded in quieting her nerv-
GUS feelings.-NetC York MerclLTu.

How New York Handles Fires.

As to fires in New York, agentleIuan,
born in this city, and for many years q
Boston merchant, but now resident in
the city of New York, says in q private
letter, from which we are permitted TO
make the following extract: Fires in.
New York are far less destructive as to
acreage than in Boston. Larger values
are concentrated In the same space here
than in Boston. Hence you cannot
Judge my remark by the insurance re-
turns on any given fire. A $500, 600
loss here means less acreage than it
does In Boston. In fact, in seems a.
customary for fire in New York to be-
confined to the building where it origi-.
mates as it is customary In Boston for itl
to spread and embrace several build
ings. This is chiefly owing to the mar
rowness of the streets IN Boston com
pared with those of New York, but It Is
also owing to the buildings here being
more generality freproof than there;
this applies to the best districts. But
there are miles and miles of poor build
ings and narrow streets here Why,
are they not devastated by fire? Are
the tenants not careless? I think the
police and fire departments must be
more alert here. The Boston Tran
script.

TIE GREAT INVENTOR.
By s. ". Foss

He made new invention nearly every other
week, -,
But something always allied it, and 1t always
seemed to shirk;
It's functional activity somehow was very MesA,
It's whole vitality was low-the Dlalre tnine
wouldn't work.
He made perpetual motion things-but they
would never move,
And then he made big machine for ny1ng
through the sky,

And the only trouble with 1t-ne cou1d meyer
make it fly.
And he made marine toboggans for sliding on
the sea,

And on the second trial trip, he said twas his
idea"
The thing would slide tremendously, if he
could make it float.
And he made panacea that would cure every

long denied;
He took the medicine himself, a large, green
looking pill.
And twenty minutes later he laid him down
