Henry Woods, who was shot in the
right hip by stray bullet, is more
seriously hurt than was at first
anticipated, the bullet having
penetrated to the groin. He
was visited by DR.. Morrison at his resi-
dence on Lazard street last night, and
was found to be suffering intensely from
his wound. An operation will be per-
formed upon him as soon as possible and
the bullet extracted, but owing to his
condition at present, this may not be
feasible for few days.
The wounded Chinaman, Wong XII
Leng, was progressing favorably last
night, though the doctors say that he
had very narrow escape, as the bullet
which passed through his legs only just
missed the femoral artery.

Save Your Small Change.

"Let me tell you story" said Mr..
Depew, replying to an inquiry for birth
day wisdom. "Some years ago I took
great fancy to young man. He got q
good salary, but he never could save
cent. He was not viciously extravagant,
but needless and not at all careful.
Finally he married, and / thought per-
haps the responsibility of wife and
subsequent tender responsibilities might
induce him to pay more attention to the
limitations of his purse. But he did
not, and the funny part of it was that
his wife seemed to be just as Indifferent
fnancier as he was. They were fast
drifting on the rocks of bankruptcy.
"At last he came to me and told me
his predicament. I related how, when
I was young boy, it was the rage in
Peekskill to have 'Tis But box. This
was box in which were deposited all
of the quarters and other pieces which
would have gone on the plea of the

Honest.

"He is really so honest that he ought
to be put in solitary confinement" said
an exasperated man of neighbor who
was always telling him unpaIaJable
truths. The offender was guiltless of
desire to offend; he simply could not
refrain from speaking what was in his
mind. There are sentimental occa-
sions when most of us actually do pre-
fer an embroidered statement to literal
fact.
Shouldn't you know q lock of my
hair anywhere, John?" queried an af-
fectionate young wife, whose tresses
were her husbands pride.
II think / should, he returned, eau
tiously, and she broke into cry of real
dismay.
"Oh, don't say that! Say you know
you shouldl"
But John was not to be persuaded.
He merely thought SO, and that only
would he assert.
II shall think of you constantly"

They Struck the Bad Place.

A loyal North Carolinian, who served
in the Union army, tells this story in
connection with the resin beds, which
are found in the turpentine districts.
During Gen. Sherman's famous march
to the sea, part of the Twentieth
Army Corps was halted in section of
this forest and prepared to camp for
the night. The soldiers were some
what mystified in finding SO large o
stretch of smooth, solid rock, but con-
graduated themselves that they would
not have to biyouac in the mud. KNAPP
sacks were unslung, guards were
mounted and fires were kindled at
different points, and the tired and
weary veterans were preparing to set
tie down for comfortable rest. The
heat of the fires softened the resin.
First it began to sputter, then great
black clouds of smoke began to ascend,
and suddenly huge columns of fire shot
up, seemingly from the very bowels of
the earth. The whole camp was in.
commotion, the men beat precipitate
retreat, and soon the whole place was
a seething, roaring mass of flame. One
of the soldiers, as he grabbed his gun
and started, shouted warning to his
comrades: .Run, boys! We've struck

BE Consistent.

The country is waiting to hear some
free-trader say that the Mckinley bill
is responsible for the recent advance
in the price of wheat, corn, and oats.
The country will have to wait long
time before it will hear any news of
that kind. But why shouldn't the
free-traders say so? They raised their
hands and solemnly asserted last fall
that the low price of farm products
was due to the tariff. We heard it all
over Iowa. More than that, some Re-
publican farmers were foolish enough
to believe it. The Democrats persist
emily dinned it into the ears of every
body who would listen to them. The
tariff was the cause of Decent corn
and 12-cent oats, they said, and if the
tariff had such q remarkable effect
upon the prices, why isn't the increase
in prices due to the attempt to revise
the tariff? Our free-trade friends
should be consistent. If the tariff
held the prices down last summer,
surely the Republican method of re-
vising it has caused this rise in prices.
So our Democratic friends ought to
turn in and shout for the Mckinley
bill. Just see how it has raised the
price of corn, wheat, and oats !-IoaUa

churches in the sultry days of June
with weddings. There are few brides,
however, who have courage or faith
enough to wear opals on their wedding
day or name that day in May. 1t was
formerly considered unlucky if rain fell
on ones wedding day, but the frequent
showers of April and June, the we'd
ding months of spring, have well-nigh
dispelled this superstition, and it is
considered enough if the sun shines but
for the hour. At a wedding several
seasons ago considerable sensation was
caused by a clap of thunder at the read

the church to its foundations, as il his
Internal majesty himself wished to for

May is found in every nation of Latin

with one Of his body guard at his
side. Charles was redonbtable hunt
er, and SO was the guard. Presently q
partridge passed, quite high over their
heads. Both sportsmen fred at the
same time, and the bird fell. Ii was
brought by the Emperor's servants.
(Which one of us, do you think, said
Charles, KILLED this partridge? r
at was L" said the guard.
aThou lest, scoundrel," said the
Emperor.
He had hardly spoken when the
guard struck him so severe q blow In
the face that he could hardly keep his
feet.
Charles first movement was to point
his gun straight at the audacious
guard, and pull the trigger, but the
weapon had just been discharged, and
had not been reloaded.
While the Emperor was reloading he
decided that he would not shoot the
guard on the spot. He sent him to
prison instead, with orders to prepare
for his execution.
"Your fault is the greater" said the
Emperor. because there was doubt
whether thou didst really kill the
bird"
"There is no doubt, sire, in my mind, !"
said the guard. "Will you permit me
to see the bird ?"
The partridge was brought, and the
guard showed the Emperor that it had
been killed with ball from his rife.
The Emperor had been using bird-shot
all day.
The Emperor felt little remorse at
this, but did not countermand his or
der for the guards death; but at the
last moment he had the man brought
before him.
'Dost thou repent of striking me?"
''No, sire," said the guard. eff had
a thousand lives, and your Majesty
should tell me a thousand times, With
out reason, that I lied, thousand
times would put my fist in your face

times would go calmly to the block. !"
The Emperor sat pensively for some
time revolving the matter in his mind.
The words mi puno en- 81 rostro ram
kled in his mind, but presently he said,
''My reign has need of such men as
you, after all. I wish there were q
thousand like you! Live, and be

of Charles vassals, and his family has

Importers for Free Trade.

The reason why the importing class
is found in alliance with the free trade
Democracy Is not far to seek. The
value of our imports for 1889 was
$77O,000,O 900, Of which amount $780,
600, 900 paid duty, and goods to the
amount of 1851, 900, 900 came in free.
Importers naturally want to increase
their business and their profits. If
the duties on articles now dutiable
should be materially decreased or re-
moved the importations would reach
81. 600, 600, 600 or 81, 200, 000,0 These
would have to be paid for in cash or in
the products of the country. The
duties encourage the manufacture here
at home of the articles we would other
wise import. They build up diversi-
fed industries and give employment to
an army of wage-earners who them
selves furnish market for American
products, Home manufacturers and
home markets go together, but they
restrict the importing business. 1t is
clearly apparent why importers de-

they forget sught else, and often COM
NIT very amusing blunders. Not long
since there died in Vienna, Austria, a
noted professor, who left behind him a
record for forgetfulness of this kind
that has rarely been equaled and never
excelled. One of his pupils, from mere
curiosity, made out list of his strange
sayings, and we present few choice
samples. During lecture on general
history he made the following state
ments, which doubtless astonished his
hearers: Julius Caesar, disguised as a

and spreading his coat-tails as much as
possible to screen his esteemed fellow

In fact, Mr.. Buncombe was sick-sick
of public speaking, of Fourth of July
celebrations and several other things,
and giving Philander hasty directions in
regard to unhitching and driving Bess
and Doll safely home, he folded his tent
and silently stole away.

he had been so over confident of his abil-

had left it on the table at home, and as
he entered the kitchen the fateful docu-
ment was the first object which met his
gaze.
He took it up, looking at it with vim
dictive eyes, and shook it as terrier

"Ye1l never make me any more trou-
BILE, We blamed onsartin thing" he mutt
tered as he struck match.
Perhaps the speech was uncommonly
dry; at any rate it burned merrily and
quickly, and little heap of floating
ashes was all that remained of Mr.. Bun

was to have led on to fame and future
glory, and then and there his oratorical
