A THUNDERBoLT played a very inn
pertinent prank on Mrs d. A. Baker, at
her home, in Warrenville, day or two
ago, and nearly scared the lady out of
her wits at the same time, says the
Hartford Courdqst. A rollicking thun-

suddenly bolt shot down the big
chi.aney of the old house, glanced out
into the kitchen, where Mrs. Baker was
busy with household chores, smashed
lot of dishes, and then in twinkling,
whisked q pair of speetacies off the
good woman's nose and smashed them
in her lap. Mrs. Baker was not in

KRUPP, the great German cannon
maker, has just given the Emperor a
nice little present. The gift is brass
cannon, handsomely ornamented with
military designs, and, though baby
compared with many of the prodigious
guns turned out at the Krupp works, it
yet weighs 1000 pounds. The Emperor
is said to have exclaimed "Great
guns!' when he saw it, and he is per.
haps, as uncomfortably off as its owner
as the helpless person who has num-
Der of white elephants on his hands.

What is The remedy
We don't propose any. 1T would be
useless if we did. Nobody would adopt
it. "A woman would rather have her
trunks burst open on every trip than
to 60 anywhere without the stereotyped
quantity OF lingerie, the morning and
evening and dinner dresses, and the
boots and shoes. and bonnets and para
soils, and toilet fixings, and new novels
deemed necessary for q weeks stay
anywhere. The fact of it is, the dear
creatures must have the things, and
they fill up big trunks, and the bag
gage smashers have got to grin and
bear it or quit the business.
And if they turn the trunks end
over end, and upset the liquid Lear1
over the morning slippers, and spill
the liquid rouge over the hundred dol
lar silk dress, who is to blame? The
trunks have to be got into the baggage
van somehow, and we defy any mortal
man to get them there without turning
them over good many times.
The woman who has independence
enough to travel with nothing by way
of baggage but handbag, and we
know few such women. is happy.
She is at liberty to enjoy the moving
panorama which presents itself from
the car window. She doesn't trouble
herself about that trunk! She is not
at the mercy of any official in blue uni
form, with gilt band ON his hat.
And in closing, we extend our hearty
sympathy to baggage smashers, all
over the country, and when we get in
to Congress we will use our influence
to limit the weight of one parcel of
baggage to fifty pounds, even if we
have to put our bonnets, and petticoats,
and things up in a dozen parcels

money market in the Jrade-centers of
the north is without any adequate
cause In the condition of the country.
There has certainly been no decrease
IN the amount of money in circula-
ton. resulting from any action on the
part of the government. The crops
OF the whole country have turned out
reasonably well and the prices of all
farm products are fully as high as
they ruled for the crop of 1889. Nor
has the country been cursed with the
spirit OF frenzied speculation and
reckless over-trading, which usually
precede, if they do not, in fact, occa-
sion monitary panics and crisises.
The disbursements from the treas
ury in the shape of the payment of
pensions puts a large sum of money
into circulation each month.
The treasury has bought Usited
States bonds on pretty large scale
every month, and the money paid for
them was so much added to the circu-
lation of the country. And since the
passage of silver bill, the treasury
has purchased considerable quanti-
ties of silver bullion for coinage. 1t
is obvious that there has been no con-
traction of the circulation. Upon the
contrary, the amount of money now
in circulation, should exceed the
amount in circulation In the month
of October 1889, when no complaint OF
monetary tightness was heard in any
of the trade centres.
II view of these undisputed facts
and the generally prosperous condi-
ton of the country, the LIGHT Is sat
isfied the alleged stringency IS
only temporary and partial and will
soon pass away. 1t may be. that
some heavy operators in railroad
stocks in Wall street, have concerted
measures to produce temporary
stringency in the money market In
w uP
some railroad that is unable to raise
the money to pay the interest on its
bonds. One thing is past all dispute
and that is that there is nothing in
the condition of the country to justify
any fears of a monetary crisis such as
occurred in 1878. Possibly the b tnks
have ceased, from pruden tial motives,
to discount as literally as they have
been doing and this has made it
rather difficult for certain class of
nen to borrow money in large
amounts. 1t should also be remem.
bered that the various English syndi-
Gates have expanded at least fifty
millions of dollars in the United
States within the past year.

THE free. trade speakers and presses
show, past all dispute, their profound
Ignorance of the details of the Nc
Kinley tariff law concerning which
they talk and write so ovacularly.
. The avowed purpose of the new tariff
law was to protect American Indus
tries from the competition of foreign
goods, manufactured by the cheap
labor of Europe, and in carrying out
this purpose, the new tariff protects
the American laborer against the
ruinous competition of the far cheaper
labor of Europe. The republican

eres of the United States, as they
should have done, and not for the
benefit of the people of England,
France or Germany. The growls of
the Europeans over the Mckinley
tariff bat too plainly indicate that it
will rebound to the benefit Of the
welfare of our people by giving them
their home market.
The reciprocity clauses in the new
tariff enable ussto enter into proper,
friendly relations with foreign nations
that do not discriminate against our
products, and to lower the duties in
such cases. If foreign nations decline
to accept reciprocity, the blame can
not be thrown on the Mckinley tariff.

McCarty's s Case.
SoIomonville Bulletin.

On last Saturday Geo. B. McCarty, who had the contract to build the addition to the county jail, and drew the last of the money on that day, conceived the idea that if he could repudiate his debts due laborers who did the work on the jail building. Ee could get away from Solo, knoxville with good stake. He was not long in deciding that he would thus leave the quiet town on the Gila. where he had lived for several yeaas, but owing to an affection for draw poker. has been unable to accumulate any lucre. But McCarty was not wise in carrying out his plans, as the sequel will show.
 He drew the last Of his money from Mir. Futile, clerk of tho board of supervisors, late Saturday afternoon, and arranged to start for Bowie as soon as darkness should steal over the land" in company with Johnny Gilmore. After supper Me Carty with his 'rol'' safely deposited in the bottom of his trousers pocket, started on foot toward Bowie, walking to the quiet suburbs of town where he mounted a rig that had been prepared and placed at an appointed spot. Gilmore and Me Carty started for Bowie But they did not get far,
 MT. Barron and Abraham Diaz, cradi- tors of McCarty had been suspicious of his movements, and he had scarcely left town before they were onto the racket, and without loss of time went before Squire Palm and swore out a warrant charging McCarty with attempting to de fraud his creditors. Armed with the war rants these parties started in pursuit, coming up with McCarty and Gilmore about F miles out of the Bowie road, ar rested him and brought him back. Mon day he was given preliminary exami- nation and bound over to the grand jury. i We very much doubt if McCarty can be convicted of felony before a jury, and the probabilities are now that large bill will be piled up against the county with out any benefits. Officers should be care ful about running the county to such heavy expense in cases where there Is but little hope of final conviction.

The men in the mine are sinking, driftingIand stoping The deepest work ings are 200 feet; ore mills from 50 to 300 ounces of silver. Between 200 and 300 pounds of siver, in bars, were brought here last evening.
 Mir. Mott tells us that Rowe Bros. are timbering ther mine, which is one of the largest in the mountains.
 Mir. Preston, one of Hon. w. A. Clark's trusted men at United Verde, tells us that the work of constructing a tramway from the mines and smelters to the tim Der, is in progress. The line will run to Wager canon, to connect with a branch railroad from the P. &. A. C. Sixteen pound T rails will be used. A small engine will likely be used on the tram way.

Use American Terms.

Il am tired of hearing people constant ly use the terms penny and shilling when they mean cent or 12t cents,' said a member of the Patriotic Order Sons of America the other day. ''It is unpatriotic. We have no penny or 'shil- ling in our American currency, and Am erican money by American names ought to be good enough for anybody.
 ''I was at the postofice not long since, and bought some stamps. Idid not have the exact amount of change required, and laid silver dollar on the little shelf in front of the young lady stamp seller. She looked at the coin moment and then said: I can't make the change quite. If you had some pennies might fix it. Have you any pennies?

nifferent Ideas of KisaInp.

A beautiful high toned girl of 20-let us call her Alice--was telling me the other day of a meddlesome, gossipy neighbor, Mrs. H., who has consti- tuted herself censor and mentor for the young girls of her acquaintance. The lady has daughter grown who is so en- tirely void of attractions as to give her mother no uneasiness. Alice has great many beaux, and does not escape advice and admonition.
 "She told me" said the merry girl, with mischievous twinkle in her eyes, "that no young man who had any regard for girl would ever offer the least familiarity; that her daughter was 9, and the young men had such perfect respect for her-not one had ever tried to kiss herr
 Alice and exchanged glances and laughed.
 'Pshawl" said Alice, i've been kissed more times than have fingers and toes, but of course didn't tell her soI''
 We have too good an opinion of hu- man nature to believe that in many cases a few harmless kisses will degen- crate to anything disgraceful. Kate Kaufman in Jenncss- Miller Magazine.
