He was fond of appealing to race

leaders, who dlsliked his turbulent
methods, and also accused him of
treachery. His death is probably

OUR JOHN l.. RETURNS
Met by Large Concourse Of Peo-
ple-Address of Welcome
The Response.
Mr.. Wilson Tells the Review
Something Concerning the
Work of Congress.

Congressman John l.. Wilson ar
rived home from Washington on
the Pacific express at o'clock Thurs
day evening. A large delegation
from the Young Mems Republican
Club were at the depot with a brass
band to meet him, and n large num-
Der Of Mr.. Wilson'S personal friends
and admirers, both republicans and
democrats, were on the platform,
which was crowded.
Shortly after the train came to a
standstill Mr. Wilson appeared on
the front platform Of the rear Pull
man sleeper. "Hello, JOHN" came
from a dozen voices at once. Mr..
Wilson descended to the platform
and shook hands with rs many peo-
pie as could crowd around him.
Finally Joe Moore, of the Y oung
Mems Republican Club, pushed his
way into Mr.. Wilson's presence,
and In short, eloquent speech ON
behalf of the club welcomed Mr..
Wilson home.
MIR. wilson responded In nVe-
minute speech which was punctu-
ated at frequent intervals with APP
plause. He touchingly referred to
the hearty welcome accorded him,
and said he appreciated 1t from the
utmost depths of his heart. He had
tried to do his duty rs n servant of
the whole people, and Mt u future
and more appropriate time he would
he glad to give an account of his
stewardship in n public speech.
Just now he had little family,
wh ON he had not seen for n long
time, waiting for him in the little
home on the hill, and he begged to
be excused from further remarks at
this time, and hade the audience
good evening.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson'S
remarks some one proposed three
cheers for Congressman Wilson, and
they were given with a will. Then
three cheers for Wa-hlngton's next
congressman were proposed, and the
hurrahs that went up In response
were loud and long. Mr.. Wilson,
then stepped into carriage and wa.
driven to his residence.

WON en- and Boxing.
New York Sun. |

One of the things that 1t Is de-
clared fashionable for women to do
nowadays Is to box. But boxing
and singing bass are things not to
be predicted for the average woman,
who might go on taking lessons in
the noble art until her locks were
white without developing the least
aptitude in hitting or warding.
For, you see, women can't box.
This much she can do: She can put
on the gloves and learn to square
off, and she can learn to stand up
and pummel bag or ball that Is
obliging enough to hang there and
let itself be purHmeled. But when
her vis-a-vis develops u live force of
its own, and manilests II tendency
to pummel back, then the sum of
her requirements are at an end.
For, in the first place, she can't
take blow from the gloves as u man
does, squarely in the chest. Aside
from knocking the wind as COM
pletely out of her body that she
could never get it back again, the
chances are that it would break her
collar bone. And. in the second
place, she couldn't ward or fend
from an ordinary blow without dan
ger of breaking her wrist or her fore
arm.

blew all deleterious gases away from the

would sit down carlessly on an incipient

marked:
at Is not too much to say that
the expiring congress was the hard
est working congress of years. The
indefatigable energy and unswerv-
ing devotion of Speaker Reed to
the principles of his party, which
at first received such adverse criti-

legislation of years, and instead of
alternating the support of his party
stimulated feeling of harmony

terests of my farmer friends would

without reluctance did | deviate
from the general provisions of the

is incomparably one which extends
more lasting benefits to Washington
