THE postal department. in England is
reviving the old stage coach for the car
rying of parcels sent by mail. 1t is
not specially rapid, as the thirty-fve
miles from Liverpool to Manchester
take five and a half hours. An armed
guard goes with it, and the horn is
blown. as with the old coaches. In this
country the distances are too great to
make this plan useful.

In ONE of the higher educational in
situations of st. Paul, the other day, the
question was raised of donating the bust
OF some noted man for ornamental Dur-

cause of his distinction met the eager
response that he had written the great
dictionary of the United States Ian
guage. Thus do the works of great men

GdlYeStOn news.
The founders of the Republican party
must rest very uneasily in their graves
if they have any means of knowing that
that party has fallen into the hands OF
such men as Quay. Reed and GARRISON.
The first named is inclined to seek Sc
clusion just now. but the two latter are
keeping themselves prominently before
the public. Reed has brains and may
do no irreparable injury; but few
more breaks such as that made by
Clarkson in his speech at Pittsburg.

upon the Republican party in the East

One of the latest evolutions of New
York philanthropy takes the form of a
boycott of all the stores that employ
girls and don't treat them kindly.
Ladies of the highest circles, preachers
of all denominations, and people who do
shopping most largely, are represented
in this movement, which has its public
meetings, enthusiastic speeches, sono-
rouS resolves. and board of officers. The
object is highly commendable, and pos
siblv the movement might find excuse
in other places besides New York city,
and should not be confined to conspic-
uouS service in stores.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
A Profigate Administration


Chicago Times.
When president of the United
States was giving himself great concern
about vast treasury surplus, such a
surplus as no other government ever
formed among men took from the saw
ings of the people they were empow-
cred to tax, it was flippantly remarked
by the opposition: 1t is easier to deal
with surplus than a deficit. True,
and the more difficult problem, the
dealing with a deficit, is likely to be
presented to the Harrison administra-
ton. The spendthrifts will get the
country into pretty pickle. Their first
resource will be to suspend the opera
ton of the sinking fund; that is, cease
making provision for the payment of
the national debt. Their next. if the
country permits men of their prodigal-
ity to remain in power, will be to III
crease that debt.

drop the SOP in her

is probably the youngest millionaire in

died, some five years ago, the estate he
left was valued somewhere in the neigh

was equally divided by will
to Mrs. Roberts. Marshall and
merchant. He is a strong and health
ful-looking child, about ten years of
age, with a round, pleasant face, and is
a great lover of athletics. Most of his
fortune is invested in government
bonds, and three well known business
men of New York, in conjunction with
his mother. are his guardians. When

une is to be turned over absolutely to
his control; but there is no fear that
he will run into eXtrayagances. for he

When he does obtain control of his
fortune he will be able to live comforta-
bly, at least, for his income will be in
the neighborhood of 100000 a year, and
that ought to be enough to keep the

A MAN died in New Hampshire on
the I'd of this month, who will be re-
membered with a good deal of interest
by nearly every person who has been
familiar with New England men at any
time in the last half-century. This was
Hon. GEORGE w. NESMITH, aged
ninety years. He was member of the
state supreme court till he became too
old, and, as a state presidential elector,
voted for Gen. HARRISON in 1910. and
BEN HARRISON in 1888. He was one of
the most intimate friends of DAN
WEBSTER till his death in 1852. There
are several st. Paul parties who looked
upon Judge NEsMITH as a man who
never would lose his grip on life.

Lowry on
the Silver
Bill.

HerOn-Allen's Heron Allen, who

Novel. Gus figure in New
York three or four
years ago, and who is now in England.
has been publishing novel and send
ing it broadcast and very literally, with
out charge, to his former acquaintance
in this city, says New York paper.
Heron is young fellow who came over
here from England some years ago, and
set all the fashionable and fair damSelS
of upper-tendUm crazy over his doc
trines in palmistry. When he began in
New York $50 was his usual fee for the
examination of the fair hands that were
pushing toward him for delineati0n of
the owners character and attributes.
He was the fashion and the sensation in
this city for nearly SIX months, and
then he HE'D himself away for
practice and money-getting among the
society people of Philadelphia. The
grave and economical damSelS of the
Quaker City did not rush frantieally to
greet him on his arrival there, and after
rather labOriOuS time he found that the
$50 fees were not coming in as rapidly
as he expected, so he dropped his price
to s., and the moment he did the
fashionables all forsook him. He was a
dignifed little fellow, of an intensely
loud English pattern, fine-lOoking,
talented, and, if he had been six feet
tall. he might have married an heiress;
but he was too dollish for ordinary use,
and when at last, little out at the ell
bows, he accepted place as an in
terpreter at Castle Garden at 1900
year. his career on this side of the ocean
was over practically. He threw up his
place one day and went back to England.

himself confasses that the obligations i'm

As stated in Saturdays GAZETTE. the steamship
City OF Paris WAS disabled at sea by the breskins
OF the low pressure cylinder of the port engine,
the hying pieces of metal forcing the bulkhead
and disabling the stai board engine. Over 1000
tons of water rushed into the engine rooms The
pas sengers were greatly excited, but the vessel
was safely towed to Queenstown by the steamship
Aldersgate Divers discovered the damage to be
90 great as to preclude the possibility OF towing
her safely to Liverpool. She will be beached and
temporary repairs made and if the damage is not
as bad rs it seems to be, she will be taken to Lv.
erpool at tho first favorable opportunity. J he ac-
cident occurred Tuesday ZIG miles west of Fastnet.
The steamer drirted helplessly until the 10Th in
slant, when the Captain sent Chief Officer Passon
and six men in q lie-boat to get into the track OF
other line steamers in the hope of being sble to
Intercept the City of Chester or the Adriat,c

The offer was accepted. The Aldeisgate is q small
