She Knew Him, but Not His Name.

An amusing incident occurred at Senator
Morrill's reception on Monday night, says the
New York Tribune. 1t was the occasion of his
SOth birthday. Although the President does
not usually appear at any but cabinet houses,
he departed from the custom in this instance as
an especial mark of respect to the gentleman in
whose honor the reception was given. Mrs
Harrison was also present, and in the early part
of the evening they stood near the host Later
they moved into the second Grawing-room
While there the President noticed a lady smiling
at him, as if she expected some mark of recog-
nition After awhile she came toward him,
still with the same look of expectancy. When
quite near the President gave her his hand and
said:
GOOD evening, madam, / am glad to see
you"
She looked at him delghtedly aud said: Il
Just felt sure when l saw you entering the room
that had met or known you, but will you ex-
cuse me if l ask you your name: 1t has slipped
my memory"
The people who heard it enjoyed the twinkle
in the eye and the half-humorous gravity on
the Presidents face as he courteousy gave
the desired information. In another minute
the episode was being retailed all over the

Biggest Poker Game on Record.

Il believe that can honestly claim 20 having
made the biggest bet on record IN a poker

group engaged in a social game of draw" the
other night.

exclamation that il was only 'snine high"

Wnliarn and the wArkingmen.

a very considerable part of the speech of
the Emperor William to the Reichs:ag. a
synopsis of which was published in our dis
patches yesterday, was devoted to reforms
for lettering the condition of the working
men. He seems 20 be thoroughly impressed
with the idea that the only way to disarm
the socialists and deprive them of their in
fiuence is to remove, as far as
he can. the causes of discomfort
among the laboring classes. Indeed. be
said that just solicitude for the welfare
of workingmen was the most effectual
means for strengthening the resources by
which he and his allies propose to resist any
attempt to disturb the legal order of things.
When he called the labor congress that was
recently in session in Berlin he mad already
determined upon the policy which he is now
pursuing and which he seems determined
to give fair trial. His argument was that
the socialists thrived upon the discomfort of
the workingmen. If he should make a
sincere effort to remove the causes Of dis
content he would weaken the socialists and
strengthen himself
The promptness with which his invitations
to the labor congress were accepted justifies
the conclusion that his policy was approved
as soon as it was understood. The govern
ments of Europe concluded that it was wiser
to favor reforms that would better the con-
dition Of workingmen, and thus gain their
good will and support, than it was to ignore
their complaints and rely upon force to
maintain the existing order of things
In his speech to the Reichstag Emperor
William outlined some of the reforms
which he purposes to introduce. He in
tends that children shall not be put to work
in the mines and factories until they are
sufficiently matured TO endure hard labor.
He intends. also, that workingmen shall
have one day of rest each week. He sug
gests that the laws for settling differences
between employees and employers shall be so
amended that arbitration shall prevent
strikes to as great an extent as possible.
He has other suggestions for the benefit of
workingmen which he purposes to urge
upon the attention of the Reichstag.
There appears to be good reason for saying
that he is thoroughly in earnest in his eff
forts in behalf of workingmen. 1t may be
that he does not sympathizs deeply with
them, but has adopted his present policy
from purely selfish motives. But whether
his motives are selfish or not, it is
clear that he is showing good judg
ment in endeavoring to win their
approval and support. 1t is safer for his
rule to have their good will than their
enmity. If they see that he is doing the
best he can to improve their condition they
will be much less likely to array themselves
against imperialism than if they feel that
their complaints are treated with indiffer-
ence.
In this new departure in labor matters
the Emperor William is leading Europe,
and 1t may turn out that the removal of
Bismarck from power was something not to
be regretted.

The National Carpenters Union has
issued a letter warning foreign labor to
keep away from this country. The letter
says: parties who do not wish to concede
reasonable hours of labor and pay fair
wages are advertising for mechanics to
come to the United States. They offer
high wages and steady work, but the object
of2these advertisements is to overstock the
labor market and reduce wages" Who are

cry loudest for protection. The working
men are beginning to get their eyes open.

Notwithstanding the fact that Senator In
gals had his picture printed in the New
York World in forty different situations
with an accompanying interview, the
farmers alliance of Kansas is not proud of
him and doesn't favor his reelection. Mr..
Glover, the president of the alliance. in a
letter in the Alliance Tribune says: 81 claim
that ingalls, in his interview has taken the
right position ON the farmers alliance; but
it is because he is cute enough to say the
right thing, and every one in Kansas knows
that he said it simply to try and fool the
farmers, not because he cares any more for
the Kansas farmer now than ever. Decep-
ton IS the only rule by which he works.
He never has done anything for the Kansas
farmer but look down on him. and if he
was sent to the Senate fifty years yet he
never would. Who ever heard of him doing
anything? But he is always saying some
thing, and there is quite difference He is
do doubt laughing in his sleeves, thinking
his interview fooled the farmers of the state,
but want to say in this he is greatly mis-
taken. His earnestness for the farmer is the
same kind he shows for pensions-all for
effect and sincers in nothing" This pen
picture of Ingalls, which the alliance man
draws is better in every respect THAI the
one which appeared in the World.

1t seems that Emin Pasha has surprise
awaiting him in the interior provinces of
Africa. 1t will be remembered that he
started about two weeks ago with a Ger
man expedition for those remote regions
with the view of making them German pos
sessions. 1t is alleged that the country over
which he hoped to hoist the German flag,
south of his old possessions, has already been
opened up by an expedition led by Mr..
jackson, which was quietly sent out last
summer by the British East African Com
.pany, and the whole Of the Uganda terri
tory and possessions on the north
Of the lake have been placed under
English protection. All this happened six
months ago, and as Emin is not fighter he
will probably accept accomplished facts.
He may have to carry the presents, with
which he intended to make friends of the
people. back again to the coast. Emin's lot
does not appear to be happy one just now.
