lie Struck the Wrong Man.

Back in the latter part of the sixties Pete
Mccartney came to grief in Kansas City
when il was but a little village strung
along the river bank. Those were Dor.
der days then, and the tale of the or.
rests reads like a chapter in border
drama. Private Detective Liggett noticed
Mccartney on the streets and was soon
talking to him. Pete thought that here
was a good chance to dispose Of some OF
the queer" and made suel q proposition
70 Liggett
"All right" assented the officer. and
then he led the famous counterfeiter into a
den no: hundred yards from the police
station. Once inside Pete found himself
looking down into the one big eye CT six
shooter.
Mccartney, your game was played once
too often. You've struck the wrong nan,
said Liggett.
Pete surrendered gracefully, and after
spending some little time in the county
Jail was taken TO jefferson City. When
arrested he carried little valise which
WAS found to contain $4,000 in splendidly
executed couuterfeits.
In those days MeCart ney operated chiefly
on Missouri and Mississippi river boats,
passing in person the bogus goods OF his
own manufacture.-kansa City Times.

Cabbage and Parsley specuIator.

A rather curious occupation is that Of
the man who haunts the wholesale vege-
table market at the close of the day. He is
never known to come in the morning nor
TO buy anything at its regular price. He
invariably appears about 4or o'clock. and
looks around for stray cabbages. odds and
ends of parsley, small measures of turnips,
tomatoes, peas and beans, bits of anything Z
In the vegetable line.
He makes an offer to the dealer, who is
tired and wants to sell out and go home.
He buys for q song what is known as the
fag end of the market. Next morning he
has his purchases perambulating about the
poorer quarters of the city on half dozen
push carts. He sells all his vegetables
cheap. but makes good profit on them.
BY always being ready to snap up the fag
end of the market he makes q comfortable

THE PARIS CONFERENCE

BoULoGNE. Dec. 24-In an interview to-
day Mr.. Justin Mccarthy declared that
his idea was 10 inform Mr.. O'Brien fully
IN regard TO recent events in Ireland Mr..
Mccarthy said that he believed that, in
5iew OF Mr.. Parnell's declaration after the
Kilkenny election, all idea of reconcilia-
tion between the two factions OF the Irish
party must be abandoned. Mr.. O'Brien,
he SAID. was eminently "A patriot. and
might have left America with the inten-
tlon of etfecting n reconciliation; but ne
< tiations were hardly possible, he added,
as no basis for "A settlement of the dispute

the result of the Kilkenny election as a
verdict, and declined TO abandon the
leadership.
The Nationalists." said Mr.. Mccarthy -
viii never consent to Parnelfs retention
of the Irish leadership. Some of the Par
nellites are lukewarm in their adherence
and only stick to Parnell through feeling
pf chivalry. 1t is likely that some will be-
come detached i'm order TO Join Mr..
O'Brien, when his decision is known"
Mr.. Mccarthy spurned the idea that Mr..
OBrien would join the Parnell party with
out declaring himself 'BrieD's pa
triotism. - said be, "is too well known to
admit a suspicion that he would join the
Parnellites even if he fails to effect recon
ciliaUon. He thought it probable that
Parnell would co TO Paris TO see O'Brien:
but said he himself would not see Parnell,
as he had nothing 10 do with him, his sole
object in coming here being TO see Mr..
q Brien and explain the position Of affairs
After he had a talk with O Bren, he added.
he would return to England and await the
result Of the conference between O'Brien
and Parnell The outcome OF that CON
ference, he sad, would constitute a final
ground for action on the part of the Ma
tionaliots. The Nationalist party. he
said, would be glad if Mr.. O'Brien should
accept the editorship Of the new daily TO
be published in Dublin. Mr. Mccarthy
said he knew nothing regarding the dis

GUTHRIE, Ok, Dec. 24-Oklahoma has
for her Christmas present the adjourn
ment of the legislature. The question is
this: Could it be expected that in "A coun-
try where all were comparative strangers
body OF men could be elected that would
have worked harmoniouslys The differ
ent sections had their local interests, and
they expected their representatives to
further those interests at the expense of
everything else. Many members of this
legislature have labored hard to secure
salutary legislation. They have been be-
set and Haylaid by schemes, and the won
der is that they have not given up in de-
spair They are subjected TO the obloquy
which is attached to the recreant ones.
Their term in the first Oklahoma legisla-
ture will prove an expensive one to them.
Well, what will Oklahoma do now that
the capital, county seat and county line
fights are over? They must take the med
icine, and await its action. Many good
laws have been passed, as will be seen
upon inspection. One of the worst and
most infamous bills passed is Oklahoma
Browns libel bill The liquor dealers,
pharmacists and dentists have received
due attention.
Oklahoma's first legislature adjourned
tonight. They passed a complete code of
laws, partly the Dakota, Indiana, Nebra1
ka and Illinois statutes. While DRAWN
from the many different authorities, the
code is rather mixed Still, on the whole,
Oklahoma can claim as good laws aS
other territories. The capital question
was uppermost in the minds of the legisla-
ture Every other measure was secondary,
Int hon fb..x-f hot
would not approve of capital removal
BILL they got down to work i'll earnest, and
did all they could to adopt code of laws
best suitable To the people of Oklahoma.

TO make all this clear it is necessary 10
explain that the big naval observatory at
Washington considers it an important part
Of its business to determine and give away
to any one who chooses to ask for it abso-
luteiy correct time at noon each day. EX-
perts paid By Uncle Sam make the compu-
tations and press the button at precisely
12 o'clock, thus communicating the hour
TO the various departments in this city.
The Western Union is permitted to have
its instruments in the room whence the
message is sent, with an attachment to the
button, so that the news is flashed directly
from the observatory without even the aid
of an operator all over the United States,
reaching even so distant a point as San
Francisco within the space of not more
than one-fifth of a second. For such is
the utmost twinkling required Tor the pas
sage of an electric spark through 5000
miles of wire.
To accomplish this the telegraph COM
pany is obliged 70 take all other business
or the wires each day Just before 12 o'clock
Three minutes and n half before noon ar
rives operators in all parts of the country
cease sending or receiving messages and
devote their attention to attaching wires
in such n manner rs TO establish unbroken
connection from Washington with points
in every section OF the Union TO which the
lines extend their ramifcations. A dozen
seconds before the time bell is to strike n
few warning ticks come flashing along,
and at the very moment when the sun
passes over the seventy fifth meridian q
current gives n single throb from Maine to
Florida and from the Atlantic TO the Pc
cific, informing al cXpectant nation of the
time of day.-Cor. Pittsburg Commercial

THE ENGLISH RAIL WAY STRIKE.

| GLASGOW, Dec. 24-An important meet
! ing OF the board of directors of the North
! British Railway company has been held.
| After the meeting adjourned, it was
announced that the company had deter
mined to prosecute the strikers TO the full
est extent of the law. No trouble or ex-
pense, it is added, will be spared by the
company in its efforts to obtain redress for
what is classed as an unwarranted inter
ference with its business The North
! British directors have also resolved to
completely close their railroad lines rather
than yield TO the strikers demands.
The strikers have been considerably en-
ragged by the announcement made today
that the railroad officials refuse to pay the
strikers any portion of the wages which
may now be due to them. This act on the
party of the railroad officials is taken on
legal advice, and is based on decisions of
the courts as to the validity of the con-
tracts existing between the company and
its employees This step is generally
classed as being a most arbitrary proceed
ing upon the part OF the railroad authori-
ties, and is also said tc be probably an
illegal one. In any case. the step taken
greatly increases public sympathy for the
strikers. 1t is also thought that this
action on the part Of the railroad company
may excite the strikers to deeds of vio-
lence
directors has also held a meeting. It is
understood that these directors were try
ing to arrange for a conference between
themselves and the strikers.
EDINBURG, Dec. pa mass meeting
of the railroad strikers of this neighbor-
hood was held here today. The pickets re-
ported that the strike continued to extend
in all directions, and it was resolved TO
continue the struggle until the employees
demands were granted. The police are
taking precautions to protect the railroad
property.
The North British company has entirely
closed its underground station here, and
will not reopen it until the dispute with
the strikers is ended placards announc-
ing the promotion and advanced pay for
those who remained loyal to the company
and setting forth an offer TO reinstate the
strikers in their old positions, are posted
conspicuously.
The strikers, however, maintain de-
fiaut attitude. The Leith and Edinburgh
local line, has been closed. Only a fourth
Of the usual Christmas business is being
done on any of the roads, and the loss to
the roads will be enormous. Various
mass meetings of the strikers tonight re-
solved to stand firm. Ii is estimated that
9. 600 persons are now out.

In this contest NJ. Lazy was successful, be-
ing declared elected by very large ma
jority.
Gen. Boulanger's friends determined
then to present his old claim TO the seat
before the chamber of deputies. Yester-
day it was brought to vote and rejected.
NJ Laguerre, who was formerly an active
friend of the generals, voted against the
claim of his old leader. This action was
not unexpected. from VI. Laguerre's 5 recent
utterances, and especially his speech at the
Salon des Famille on October 81, when
he discussed Boulangerism simply as an
historical fact In giving his vote NJ
Laguerre explained that his action was
not directed against Gen. Boulanger per-
sonally. He was influenced simply by mo-
tives of public policy. He was utterly
amazed that Gen. Boulanger should re-
gard his present position as a personal
matter Neither was it continuation of
tht back-stair policy against the general
and it was a serious mistake for him to
think So Boulangism was dead, and the
sooner this fact was recognized the better

that President Harrison had issued a
