HE GRlNNED AT HENNIFIN.
A PoIice1nan's Impetuous Action Which
Cost the City Quarter.

A Poice-aan's In1petuous Action Nhlcn
Cost the City Quarter.
Policeman Hennitin, active and watch
full of the pablo welfare, saw cabman
whipping horse.
What are you doing there:'' the po-
Eceman called.
Don't you see what aSn doing"
eyes, do"
"Then why do you ask me-"
"You impudent rascal, Ill run you in !"
The policeman got in the cab and ord
cred the fellow to drive TO the Harrison
street station. The next morning the
cabman was arraigned before court, and
when the judge asked who had made the
arrest, Hennitin stepped forward and
said:
Your honor, saw this man whipping
his horse and 1 arrested him"
"And your honor" the cabrnan broke
in, 81 whipped him because he kicked
me. There's not man in this town
that's been kinder to a horse than I've
been to this one, and under the circum-
stances had right to whip him."
THAT may be" the judge answered,
"but I am compelled to fine you. even
though the amount be merely nominal.
l will therefore assess your fine at fifty
cents"
'All right" the cabman replied, and l
wish to present a bill for seventy-five
cents against the city
"What for?' the judge asked.
"For hauling this policeman to the sta
ton"
"Did he bring you in his cab?' the
judge asked of the policeman.
"Your honor, 1 arrested him, and in
stead of calling patrol wagon I thought
the easiest way would be to have him
drive down here and"-
"Give him seventy-fve cents" said
the judge.
The cabman received the money,
placed fifty cents on the judges desk,
put twenty-five cents in his own pocket,
grinned at Policeman Henniin and
strobe out.-Arkansaw Traveller.

The skeleton Market.


There appears to be something
wrong with the human skeleton mar.
ket. The medical department OF
the army has had q contract
with New York firm since 1887 for
supplying $50 skeletons at specified
times. The firm secured the contract
by bidding against three other firms
in this country, each proposing to fur
nish the skeletons required for about
the same price, showing that q rate,
and perhaps combine, existed even
in 80 uncanny a traffic. The firm
some months ago requested and OBJ
tained an extension of time in deliv-
cry Of the skeletons. Now they have
asked that the price paid by the gov
eminent be increased, basing the re-
quest on no more definite ground
than certain exigencies of the skele-
ton market" The matter was re-
TERED to the second comptroller and
that official decides that the request
can not be granted; that the contrac-
tor should not have the advantage
over competitors whose prices origin
ally were higher than the contract
figure. The firm have seventy-five
skeletons remaining to be delivered.

Shakespeare has been hauled over
the Goals by some of his critics for put
ting the following words into the
mouth of Richard Ill:
Shine out, fair sun. till l have bought a
gass,
That may see my shadow as pass.
They say the passage involves an
anachronism. none but metal mirrors
having been known in the fifteenth
century. Peshaps the critics are
right: perhaps not. 1t is quite GER
tain that there were glass windows in
England as early as the close of the
seventh century, tor the Venerable
Bede mentions them as having been
put into monastery-that of We
armouth, if we remember Alright. If
sheet glass was used for lighting
purposes, why not, with some opaque
body behind 1t, as reflector of the
"human face and form devine?"
Shakespeare, certainly has probability
on his side-but your com mentator is
nothing if he does not carp and doubt.
Young ladies of fashion and gentle
men of ditto, can you conceive of a
time when the world was mIrrorless?
What would you do without the sill
vered glass that enables you to wor-
ship your own images? How, ladies,
could you regulate your bangs and
Psyche knots? And you, lady-kilIers
-devastatOrs of soft hearts and turn
ers of soft heads-how could you shape
and train your whiskers into winglets
(Cupld's, of course,) without the aid
OF mirror? Happy age that sees it.

THE timely warnings that have
been uttered again and again, by the
wisdom of the press and the politi-
clans of Texas, cautioning and be-
seeching the people to pause in the
insane rush to destroy values in
Texas by placing men hostile to i'm
provements at the head of state
affairs, has not had nor is it likely TO
have any effect. The democrats of
Texas are like huge drove of native
cattle on the stampede, and there are
not good cow boys enough in the party
to head them off and turn them.
Cooks pony itself would stampede
them if nothing else would, for the
great mass of stampeders would die
sooner than let him head them off.
Democratic unwisdom in Texas never
was more apparent than in this cam.
paign. Hogg has played his game
with great cunning and has shown
an intimate knowledge OF the calibre
of the rank and file of the Texas de.
mOcracy. 1t is the campaign of the
demagogues banking on the ignor.
ance of the democratic masses.

the efficient service of the Arkansas

THE nomination of Hogg as Gov
ernor OF Texas seems certainty. The
returns received from the several
counties holding conventions to date
afford no hope for escape from such a
disaster. The consequences to the
state of such result cannot be even
Appropriated. The insane crusade
against railroads which has its culmi-
nation in this rush for Hogg's nomi-
nation, may naturally be expected
to carry with it the nomination of q
state legislature upon the same lines
of policy. This will make the state
the mere creature OF prejudice and ig-
norance, and the legislature may be
expected to place upon the statute
books any laws. the most impractic.
ticable and ruinous, that will be sug-
gested py the irrespop sible leaders of
that body. There is no hope for
Texas for two years to come, and this
hopelessness is the result of her over
whelming democratic majority.
THERE is not town, or county, or
locality In Southwest Texas through
which the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railway runs, that will not learn
with profound regret of the necessity
which has forced that road into the
hands of receiver. 1t has done all
that sny road could do to bear up
against the pressure OF circumstances
and the disabilities attending lack of
capital, and now goes into the
hands of a receiver to protect all its
creditors and preserve its property
from being destroyed and alienated
through needless litigation. The
LIGHT extends its most hearty SYM
pathy to the road under the cloud
now temporarily resting upon it, and
Is not without hope that few mon tbs
at farthest will so determine matters
as to return it to its old control with |
stronger financial backing than it has
yet been able to command.

THE appalling disaster recorded in
the dispatches of yesterday, as oc-
curing on Lake Pepin, Minnesota,
taken in connection with the reports
of disaster at st. Paul, cast a gloom
not only over Minnesota but the en-
tire country. Here are over two
hundred people, within an area OF
one hundred miles diameter, sudden
ly hurried out of existance by a wind
storm, which leaves other humid
reds manned and vast property
destroyed. This is, however, but one
among so many similar records that
the press has chrcnicled within a
few weeks. No part of the country
seems to be exempt, unless it be
Southwest Texas, and the destroyer
has come much too near us here for
perfect security to be felt. This year
eclipses all former ones in it's tables
of horrors and loss of life and the end
is not yet.

THE federal elections bill is not so
certain of passing as the tariff and
silver bills. There are many republi-
can senators who do not fully endorse
the action of the house in its Iegisla-
ton on this matter. They fear a
reign of terror and intimidation as
the result and gravely doubt the pro-
priety of inviting it. If no determined
movement is made for the passage of
this bill through the senate congress
will probably adiN"~0 within the
next thirty day.
