the brave keeper when they caught a
glimpse of the beacon light
The Michigan City light has never
failed in its mission. Like the beacon,
it was formerly fed with lard oil, but
now only the purest grade of gasoline
is used. There are two lamps in the
lighthouse; one Of these is flied and
placed inside the great circular reflect
ing glass at shutdown when the curtains
are removed from the turret windows
and the white light sheds its beams
across the waters of the lake. At mid
night the little woman in charge
mounts the narrow stairway leading
to the observatory with the second
lamp primed and trimmed for duty.
This she lights and rapidly exchanges
for the first one that began burning in
the early watches of the night. For
thirty years Miss Colfax has been
doing this ana has never once retired
until the change was made and the
new light in place. She may not have
performed any noble deeds OF heroism
like Ida Lewis. nor is she so we'll
know to the American public, but the
light keeper at Michigan City has dis
charged her duties faithfully and in
diligently, often in the face Of great
personal danger to herself. Changes
of administration have not affected
her, for no one was base enough to ask
her dismissal. She may stay there at
the lighthouse earning her modest
salary for many years to come if she
choose, but the little keeper is grow

"Class IS" in En- land

Mr.. G. w. Smalley, the regular.
English correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes from London that
if one wants to see the strict rules of
precedence in the ''clusses'' in En- gland
enforced in all their rigor one must see
the masses in their social inter
course. To get a good idea of the
Difference paid TO rank in the parlor and
the dining room one must study ''hieh
life below the stairs" MIR. Smalley
says that if you ask the mistress of a
great establishment, she will tell you
that the order Of procession into din
sner is, in the clover regions Of the
most rigid kind. If it be country
house where the guests are staying,
the rank of the servant is determined
by the rank of the master The valet
of a duke goes before the valet of Il
marquis. What is not less remarkable
is that he goes by the name of his
master, bears his title. and enjoys in
his own way and for his own purposes
the privileges of rank. ..If you look
for the spirit Of democracy in Eng
land, says Mr.. Smalley, '.you will
seek it in vain among those of the
masses who minister directly to the

DANGEROUS SILENCE.
A Farmers Alliance Cate chism That He
Does not Answer All at Once.

CHICAGO, March ga special from Topeka,
Kan, says: The continued rapid growth Of
the Farmers Alliance in Kansas is phenomenal
In some counties Of the state nine out of ten
OF the farmers belong to the organization,
which is destined to revolutionize politics in
the sunfower state. Judge Piffer, editor Of
the Kansas Farmer and the recognized leader
OF the alliance movement, asserts boldly at this
early day that the alliance is certain to elect
the next legislature.
When asked yesterday if members elected by
the alliance would support Senator Ingalls, for
reelection, Judge Piffer said: THAT depends
entirely upon the position taken by Mr.. Ingalls,.
The alliance will not support any man who
does not agree with it. Some time since we
addressed letter to Senator Ingalls, requesting
his views on the following questions:
First What legislation, if any, do you rec
ommend by way of relief to farmers in the
present depressed condition Of agriculture?
Second. Do you favor an increase in the
volume of circulating money? If yea, to what
extent, In what way do you propose to effect
the change and how get the money in circula-
ton?
Third. In what respect, if at all, and for
what purpose do you favor changing the ma
tional banking law2
Fourth. Do you favor free and unlimited
coinage OF silver at present weight and fine
nessY
"Up to this date the request has not been
complied with. My opinion is that Senator
ingalls, aud the farmers OF Kansas cannot get
together upon these important questions"

TO ABOLISH SECRET SESSIONS,
The Senate Will Probably Do Away
With Them Very Soon.

A Washington special to the New York Sun
says that one of the leading and most
influential republican Senators said that
the result of the present investigation into
the method by which executive session
matters reach the newspapers would un-
doubleday be resolution abolishing
secret sessions, except in special cases, such as
the discussion Of treaties. The Senator admits
also that the real object of the investigating
committee il to pave the way for open doors. He
added that the present agitation Of the subject
was veritable tempest in . teapot. He called
attention also to fact not generally known.
that there are very few matters which trans
pire In executive session that IL would be .
violation of the rules for Senator to talk
about Il Is the general opinion that
Senators take an oath not to reveal
executive session secrets. The fact il, how
ever, that they are bound to no secrecy what
ever, and the only crime which they commit
when they give verbatim accounts Of executive
session proceedings 10 that they violate one Of
the standing rules Of the Senate.
