She was both good looking and happy.
"Often see her husband up there with

After that l always looked for the WON

l exchanged words about her, but there
was nothing new. One morning, after
about three months, old baldhead observed:
She's got an anxious look. Husband is
probably sick"
Three days later he said:
"She's awfully worried. Husband is prob
ably worse"
Two or three days later we saw her in
mourning, and it was no use to tell each
other that her husband had passed away.
''Too badl Too badl' sighed my friend.
"Well, she'll reverence his memory ali the
rest of her days"
Almost every morning for three months
we saw her at the sewing machine as the
train pulled up at the station. On one oc-
casion my friend blurted out:
''Sadl She's got into second mourning

NEW YORK Dec. 24.-Editor Dana is still
alive. This is what ne says in this morning 8
(Wednesday's) Sun regarding the banquet at
the Reform club:
1.-THE dinner of the Reform club so called at
Madison Square garden, was as fine piece of
humbug as has been seen in New York for
many day. That the affair was arranged for
the benefit Of the stuffed prophet, and that the
hundreds of good Democrats who assisted in
the innocent belief that they were celebrating
the triumph OF Democratic principles were
victims of a calculated deception, is apparent
from the insulting treatment of Governor Hill
oy the manager of the shabby affair. The in
Vltauon grudgingly offered 10 Governor Hill
was an invitation to attend and be silent. The
leader OF the democracy of the Empire State
the Democrat who contributed more than any
other one man to the glorious victory of No
vember, the man who defeated Mckinley in
OHIO was to be ignored, while the stuffed figure
OF the shirker and Skulker, the coward in fight
the selfish planner of disaster, and the adored
OBJECT of the anti-Democrats of New York was
hoisted In prominence. We congratulate Gov
ernor Hill on the unavoidable engagement
which kept him away from such a perfor-

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Boulanger was the subject of
an interesting discussion in the chamber of

claim to the seat before the chamber. This was
done yesterday and he was reelected. The
features OF the debate was the speech of La

ger: He said he voted against the claim of his
leader from motives of public policy. Boulan-

recognized the better for the country.
