HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT 1T.
WASHINGTON, Special.-The news from
Albany was not altogether unexpected.
New York men are now less confident of
securing the fair, while friends of Chicago
are more hopeful. Representative Cum
mings blamed ex-senator Plat for the set
back given New York's aspirations. He
said:
If the bill is beaten It has been done by the
Vaccinations of Tom Platt. He wanted q
Platt's worlds fair, but we wanted New York
worlds fair.
Representative Stahlnecker said:
Well, it relieves us poor congressman. It is
better that the bill should be beaten at Albany
than at Washington.
1t is thought that the report ofthe worlds
fair special committee win be delayed un-
til decisive action is taken at Albany.

years ago in the city from which she
took her name, the Brooklyn began
her career under Farragut as her

the civil war, including not only
plenty of blockading, but participa.

ties, among them the engagement
with Forts jackson and st. Philip,
the fight in Mobile bay and the bonn
bardment of Fort Fisher,
In these battles she was conspicu-
Gus for close work with the enemy.
At the great Mississippi river fight
she was rammed by the Confederate
armorclad Manassas, but escaped
without injury, and Immediately
drove the barbette gunners from Fort
st. Philip by her tremendous fire.
She was the flagship OF the squadron
that went further up the river and
received the surrender of Baton
Rouge and Natchez. At Fort Fisher

second and successful attack, and in

Sam Jones AS A Peacemaker.
A story is told on the Rev. Sam
Jones that happened when the we'll
known preacher first started in
evangelistic work, says the Atlanta
Journal. He went to a small town
and was told that he would have q
hard time in the church, as there
were numerous feuds existing be-
tween the members, and two brothers
who belonged to the church, never
spoke to each other, nor did their
families. The night of opening the
meeting arrived. Mr.. Jones entered
the church while the choir and con-
gregation were singing:
Come, angel band;
Come, and around me ct and,
Oh. bear me away on your snowy wing
To my immortal home"
When the center of the church was
reached. Mr.. Jones stopped in the
aisle, waved his hat at the choir and
shouted: "Stopl stop that singing!"
The music ceased at once, and Mr..
Jones continued: That's not lit
sony to be singing in this church.
am told there are brothers and
cousins who belong here and yet
don't speak to each other. Now do
you think there is any danger of
hearing the rustling of angels wings
beneath the roof where there is such
a state of affairs? You won't hear
any kind of wings rustic as long as
that sort of thing keeps up, unless
it's a buzzard's wing" The two
brothers made friends before the
meeting broke up.

That the present excessive and oppressive

tired of taxing ourselves by the greatly en-
HANGED price of clothing, groceries, hardware
and, in fact, almost everything, under the plea
that we must protect the working men In the
cities from the pauper labor OF Europe. While
in fact, the laboring men find that their wages
are being reduced year by year, and the only per
eeptibe effect il the building up of mammoth
fortunes for the manufacturing lords. 1t Is also

There is a certain city father in
this city who is very busybody, SO
busy that, in spite of himself, he oc-
casionally forgets some trifing
affair. One evening last week he
happened 60 put on coat that had
been hanging up all Summer. After
he had reached the club he discov-
cred in the pocket of the garment q
letter for his wife that had been di-
rected in his care and which had
been in his pocket three months or
more. One of his friends at the
whist table said:
"I'n tell you how l got out of just
such a scrape once. You take that
letter home and quietly put it in a
book; then along in the evening &C
cidently discover it,"
'I'll do that very thing" said the
banker.
He did. And while the family were
seated about the table in the library
reading and chatting he incidentally
picked up the book and glanced
through it. He finally discovered
the letter and exclaimed to his wife:
"Oh here's letter directed to you.
You must have put it here and for
gotten it. 1t has not yet been
opened"
AS she took the letter she gave him
a look that had q hidden meaning,
and while she was reading the post
mark his face had time to take on
an expression of guilt. 1t took her
just one minute to detect the scheme
and reinforce herself with new evil
dence of "a t::.s guilt. Then she turned
