Perhaps the funniest bit Of genuine
kindness was performed by little Bolog-
nese conductor, black eyed, with some
thing OF the figure Of a Bologna sausage.
Thecxpress train had been rushing through
tunnels all day. Anxious 10 miss nothing,
the girl had her head out OF the window,
until finally overcome by fatigue she fell
asleep. with her head resting on the open
window A rapid stop in an immense sta
ton suddenly woke her. Looking at her
watch, she saw il must be lunch time She
started out into the station toward the
buffet; the conductor followed her, wildly
gesticulating and talking in shrill Italian.
She offered her ticket, he shook his head,
getting more excited. He tried French;
no use; still he followed her.
What could it bey The little man grew
crimson with excitement and she more
puzzled than ever Finally brilliant

Foolish Act Ga Young Lover.

In the sprug of 1889 % young lrishman
named Herman fitzgerald, who had ar
rived in America % iew months before, made
his way into Perry county, Pa, and OBJ
tanned employment with % farmer. He
was Industrious and got along well. As
the autumn came on the young man fell in
love with the sister oi his employer. Their
mutual attachment wa, observed by Fitz-
gcrald's friends, and they guyed him un-
mercifully about his love affair Patience
ceased to be q virtue, and he became in
volved in "a quarrel with two of his tor
mentors who thra-hei him. He felt the
disgrace Of his defeat and left the place,
hoping 20 forget all about his troubles.
He stopped no % farmhouse in Juniata
county, twenty miles away, and remained
there over night, giving the name Of Mich
0las Pares. lie heard the farmers talking
about the burning OF two barns short
time before, and Immediately cOncocted
the story that ho was the incendiary. On
thc following day be went before justice
and confessed tine crime lie was placed
i'm the county jail. and in December was
convicted When the court sentenced him
10 ten years and six months In the western
penitcntiary Fitzgerald realized MS serious
position, and on he way back to the Jail
ne admitted 10 the sheriff that he had not
told the truth: that he knew nothing what
ever of the crime, and that his motive in
telling the story was that he wanted to go
10 jail about six months in order to escape
his prosecutors in Perry county.
This story reached tie ears Of the young
fellows friends, and steps were imme-
diatcly taken 10 procure his release. As
bis first confession had been doubted on
Inc trial, not only by the court but by the
district attorney and the jury, they all
united in plea 20 the board OK parlons in
bis behalf The application was argued
before the board and the case was held
under adyi.ement, the probabilities being
hat he would be pardoned at the next
sitting In the interval a telegram reached

THE srRuGGLE ron HUMAN RIGHTS.

The debate on the Mckinley Tariff bill.
which is now in progress in the United
States Senate, has called forth several re-
markable speeches from Democratic sena-
tors, notably from Messrs. Vance, Vest and
Morgan, who have been equal to all the du-
ties OF leadership on the Democratic side
which have fallen upon them in the discus
sion. The exposure Of the tyrannical injus-
tice and selfshness Of the whole protective
system In all its intricate ramifcatiOns,
which has. been made by these able Sena-
tors during the debate, has been complete
Nothing has been lcft unsaid that should
have been said, and not a single evil has
been passed over without the structures that
1t deserved.
All the speeches which have so far been
delivered in the discussion from the Demo
cratic standpoint, have been distinguished
for the same tone that ran through the Demo
cratic speeches on the same subject in the
House when the Mckinley bill was under
discussion In that branch OF Congress,
namely, sense Of personal injustice. The
wrongs Of the protective system 80 forcibly
described by the Democratic senators, were
referred 10 rather as If they came home 10

Phineas T. Barnum was looking over the
Auditorium building Saturday afternoon
when the writer encountered him with the
story written in England To the effect that
JeQny Lind's grave is unmarked and neg

by the Indifference Of her husband, and
that she died broken hearted.

Robins Fight n Grow.

\ citizen Of Belfast, Ne, was awakened
about ( o'clock the other morning by a
strange noise, and going to the window
saw about thirty robins fighting Il crow,
which was trying to get at a robins nest
in nearby tree containing some young
birds. The robins finally drove of the
crow. The man went down TO the tree and
found one young robin on the ground
dead, while two others were safe in the
nest. The crow was on a piratical eXpedi-
ton, and but for the valiant fight of the
robins would have undoubtedly killed all
the young. Philadelphia Ledger

Ice and Ice Prices.


An "ice pool is now planning 10 wiring a
still greater tribute from the necessities
Of the people by cOrnering the Maine
supply Of ice and putting up the price for
August.
Whether the plan succeeds or not, New
York has had ample warning this year of
the ability and the disposition OF the great
ice companies 90 make ariihcally high
prices and TO practice eXtOrti0n Of an OPP
prossiye kind.
Now that the evil possibilities Of the case
are clear, there is no reason why the me-
tropolis should longer consent to live thus
under the shadow OF monopoly and eXtOr-
ton. The remedy for the artificial price is
artificial ice. II Is only necessary that men
Of enterprise shall set up few ice ma
chimes in or near the city, in order 10 put Il
final end to the possibility OF eXt0I lion by
combination.
IL would richly pay the butchers, hotel
keepers, butter dealers and the like TO es-
tablish an ce-manuiacturing company. The
sale Of ice at reasonable prices would yield
Il good return upon the investment, while
the stockholders would find an additional
reward in immunity from oppression in
their private businesses. Why should not the
