Carlo in Tears.

He had been owned by Rev. B. c.
Phelps, a Methodist preacher stationed at
at Danielsonville, Conn. When Mr.. Phelps
was removed to another charge he was
made a present of him. The dog took
kindly enough to me, as yellow dogs al
ways do to small boys, and we struck up
a great friendship, and had g~lorions old
times hunting w~oodchucks and rabbits.
1t was hunting without a gun" but with
Carlos help [ captured lots of game such
as it was. The dog had not appeared to
mind parting from his former owner. and
as time went by | took it for granted that
he had forgotten hat he ever owned any
other master than myself. One day. it
must have been a year afterward, we had
been out on a hard campaign against the
woodchucks, and | reached home Just at
shutdown. As | went into the house by one
door Mr.. Phelps entered by another; he had
been an intimate frind of my fathers and
now walked right in without any ceremony
After greetings by my father and mother,
and Just as Phelps was seating himself.
Carlo, came running in, without noticing
that he was there. why CarIo!'' said
Mr.: Phelps. The dog stopped, looked,
and with a bound was In the old masters
lap. and lay across his knees motionless,
with his head hanging down, while tears
rolled down from his eyes and dropped no
the floor. Well, sir, at seeing the dog
weep, Phelps himself choked, and the tears
came into his eyes. Father followed suit,
and | heard something that sounded like
a SOD from mother"
One of the most remarkable stories to
which the Paris Exhibition has given rise
is the tale of what happened to a London
city man the other day. He went to Paris
with a party of other tourists, and arrived
IN the morning. In the evening they all
went outfor stroll, and in some way he be.
came separated from his companions. He
could not speak French, and he had COM
pletely forgotten the name of the hotel.
So, after Yainly endeavoring to discover it,
what did he do but drive to the railway
station and went all the way back to find
out what address he had given to his wife.
Then he started again triumphantly for
Paris.

Dom Pedro's RepubIicanism.

81 believe" says ex-President Hayes, re-
ferring to the Brazilian revolution, THAT
Dom Pedro is fully in favor of Republican
institutions, and that the present change
IN the political situation in his country is
not at all distasteful to him. | we'll recall
that at the Centennial celebration In
Philadelphia in 1876 | sat next to the En-
peror of Brazil. Just before Mr.. Evarts
began his speech | was surprised to see
Dom Pedro draw from his pocket a we'll
worn, well-creased copy of the American
Declaration of Independence, a fac-simile
of the original; with written inter
llneatlons and corrections. Said he, turn
ing to me, That was given to me by an
American friend over ten years ago, and
I've had 1t as a constant companion ever
since. It's a grand, good document. I've
made 1T a close study While the Dec
laration of Independence was being read
from the orators stand, the Brazilian En-
peror. with bowed head, and eyes Fixed in
tently on the well-worn document before
him, followed the reading, word for word.
The reading concluded. the venerable En-
peror, with bowed head, still kept his eyes
the last words of the document before
him; then looking up, ewes dimmed and
voice b%etraying emotion. he remarked: "A
wonderful document; a wonderful docu
ment!' To me, as | recall the incident
there is pathos in it; there is prophecy in
it, remarked Mr.. Hayes, as he concluded
the story.
The editor of the Lincoln, Neb., Call ev-
idetnly had a bad fit of the blues when
heswrote this: We mix in the great inter
national jam; We crowd ambush and rush
and worry. And all for what? Over in
the graveyard, yonder, lie the hopes, am
billions and dreams of a thousand men who
toiled and struggled only to find a narrow
prison cell where no hope or thought or
love can come. And does it pay? Ought
it to be the base metal of a fuctuating
commercial value or the priceless coin of
pleasure and content that we poor mortals
should strive to secure? Buried cities,
centuries old, are found covered with the
dust of human beings. They yieldup their
treasures and vandals dig amongthe bones
the dead without a sacred thought, that
they may find a bit of gold to satiate their
greed. And the man who pauses to re-
feet upon the causes of it all picks a bare
bone in the glare of his neighbor's cluster
d diamonds.

Ab0ut Ice.

The Ice Cousumsrs' association meets at Turn hall this afternoon and will hear the report of the committee, which 1t sent to New York to inquire and report regarding making arrangements for the purchase of ice, and to take action in regard to building a wharf where the ice can be received. The association is considering several proposi- tions from parties up north for furnishing 1t with ice and is sanguine of obtaining ice at low rates.
 The New Haven Ice company and the oth- ation can obtain good ice and sell it any less than they can. The New Haven Ice company this season bought 10000 tons of ice in Maine, which they say is the finest, clearest and best ever seen In the city. Their temporary ice storehouse, erected recently by the company at Benedict & Co.'s coal wharf, where the ice will be delivered to customers, will hold 5000 tons, and the ice purchased will be brought from Maine as fast as needed. The company's new spile wharf at the Benedict wharf, erected by it for this seasons emergency, cost $2, 900. The wharf reverts back to Benedict & Go. eventually. Of the 10000 tons purchased, as past experience shows, one-hali of it, or 5000 tons, will be lost by melting and in nanQl1ng. The Ice companies alWayB c3icu- late on g loss of 50 per cent. in the handling and delivery of ice. For instance, they load ed one schooner in Maine and paid for AS tons, and took out $50 tons at the wharf here, making ninety eight tons shrink age and waste on that one cargo. Then in unloading it from the vessel and delivering 1t about town in hot weather the shrinkage goes on, until, as said, fifty per cent. is lost, and this they consider the average loss in shrinkage before the season is over. The company with the big additional new store houses 1t will erect this year at Whitney lake expect ever after this to have plenty of ice stored ahead.

DEATH OF REV. DIR. OUMmINGs. Rx.Presiaens of Wesleyan Universlsy.
 Rev. Dr. Joseph Cummings, who was pres ident of Wesleyan university from 1857 to 1875, and who is we'll remembered by many of New Haven's leading citizens, died at Evanston, H., Wednesday morning. This will bring sadness to very many friends throughout New England, for until he ac- cepted the presidency of Northwestern uni versity at Evanston In 1sS1e Dr. Cummings had lived and labored at the east. He was widely known throughout the Methodist de- nomination as an educator, preacher and writer, and the number of those who came under his teaching was large. He was born at Falmouth, Me, March 8, 1917, wac graduated at Wesleyan in 1s40. be- came principal of Armenia seminary, N. Y., and in 1948 joined the New England confer ence of the Methodist church. For the next seven years he was stationed over churches in Maiden, Chelsea and Boston, and in 1853 became professor of theology in the Metho- dist Biblical institute at Concord, N. H. He was then elected president of Genesee college at Lima, N. Y., and after three years there accepted the presidency of Wesleyan, where his most important work was done. After his retirement from the latter position he was for several years professor of mental philos. ophy and political economy at Middletown. As president of the institution at Evanston, Dr. Cummings enlarged his reputation. The fact that he was delegate to the general conference of his church in 1864, 1876, 1880 and 1884 serves to show the esteem in which he was held. Both Harvard and Wesleyan conferred upon him the degree of D. D., and that of IL. D. was given by Northwestern university. Dr. Cummings edited Buffers Analogy and published numerous sermons and addresses,
