LONDON, Dec. S.-Tha concensus of
opinion, as gathered from the morning
papers is that Mr. Parnel has by his
strategy won the day SO far as retaining
the immediate confidence and support
of the Irish people is concerned. What
the sober second thought of the people
will be depends on the degree OF ability
with which the seceders can lay their
case before the country. They have the
best speakers, and mere hrst-rate men

Mckee Rankin's Mistake.

man who looked like typical coun-
tryman. He tried to induce him to
advance money for the putting of
patent before the public. The visitor
only had one way of stating his case,
and this he religiously did on an av-
erage of three times week. He
would lounge up to Rankin, and, af-
ter bidding the actor "good morning."
and chatting for while, would Incl
dentally remark:
"I've got patent out Oh which un-
told wealth can be made-if only
had about $500 to get started. Now,
Mac, I'll give you half interest in
it if you'll advance the money"
The same speech was repeated so
frequently that it became standing
joke in the company, and the young
fellow who gave utterance to it was
looked upon as crank by one and all.
Other people, not members of the
company, joined the actors in their
estimate of the mental balance Of the
inventor. The season closed. Ran

from Pittsburg was forgotten until

hotel from one Of the millionaires of

patent he "tried" to get Rankin inter-

The jury retired, and in a surprising

fining the accused $40. Later in the
day met one of the jurors and asked
him point blank how they reached
such verdict. With frankness
altogether characteristic of the
Arkansas juror of those days he re-
piled
"Wall, you see, if the feller had
killed his man we wouldn't have fined
him a d-n cent, so we fined him $40

The Cute Yankee Found Quarters for
His Children.

Unhappy patents who, whenever
they seek for flats, run against the au-
tocratic "No children permitted in this
building" should take leaf from the
experience of a cute Yankee with his
four children. He moved to this city
last spring, and he and his wife, after
few days in a hotel, went ffat-hunt-
ing. Wherever they went they met
this objection against children. His
wife became discouraged and wanted
to 90 back to their rural home in New
England, where their children had
had the range of a large yard and
garden. But our Yankee friend was
man of resources. He put on his
thinking-cap one evening, and the
next morning he started out by him
self, leaving Mrs. Yankee at the hotel
with the children. At the first house
where he found a fiat which suited
him this dialogue with the janitor took
place:
"What is'the rent of this Aat?"
"Nine hundred dollars a year."
81 will lease it for one year if there
are no children in the house. l will
not take it if there are any"
"There are not any. You may de-
pend upon that"
This maneuver threw the agents of
the fiat off of their guardr Nothing
was asked of our Yankee about the
possession of children by him. The
lease was made out and executed, the
advance payment was made and then
he moved in, wife, children and all.
There was grand tableau of indig-
nation on the part of the owner of the
fiat. But there the Yankees we're,
young and old. and there they will
be until the first of next May. Moth
ing can get then out.-N. Y. Star.

Two Lovers Contest for a Wife.


county, has been considerably excited
over the announcement of the mar
riage of Miss Mamie Petticord. She
is tall, handsome lady of about 20,
aud during visit to Missouri last
summer won the affections of G. A..
Goodman, of Hamilton, that state.
After her return home she and the
above-named gentleman kept up a
correspondence and their affection for
each other grew into love, and from
love into a marriage engagement.
Tickets were issued, stating that their
marriage would take place at the
residence of the bride in Winchester
on Tuesday, and one of these cards
was sent to Mr.. Thomas jackson, who
was also a suitor for the heart and
hand of Miss Petticord.
On receiving the announcement he
at once sought an interview with the
young lady, and between sobbing and
tears, told her how he loyed her, and
if he was not successful, the shock
would kill him. This softened the
heart of the young lady, and she then
and there consented to hold OH to her
first love and cancel her engagement
with the Missourian. She wrote him
that her mind had been changed, and
that she now loved another. Good
man, on receiving the announcement
of her change of mind, Immediately
took the train for Kentucky, and he,
too, sought an interview with Miss
Petticord, and with the same persuas-
ion (crying)' she promised to be his
wife.
Thinking he had everything his
own way, Goodman went to his hotel,
but Mr.. Jackson then called and made
another most affecting appeal, and
her mind was again changed.
This was kept up for week, first
one, and then the other being the
victor.
On Friday evening Mr.. Goodman
had an engagement to call, but while
he was at supper Mr.. jackson procur-
ed a marriage certificate and min
lister and when Mr.. Goodman arrived
at the house they were married.
Paris experienced similar wedding
to this several years ago. A young
lady, the daughter of minister, was
engaged to four wealthy young men
of this county and they all knew of
her engagement to each of them.
They were all to appear at the re-
sidence OH the day set for the wedding
and, as she loved one as much as she
did the others, their names were to be
placed in a hat and drawn out and
the one that came out first was to get
her. On the day set each man was
there in a wedding suit and the draw
ing began. The first name was that
of Frank Hibler, now deceased, and
the wedding was about to take place
when one of the suitors, shocked by
his disappointment, tainted, and after
he fully recovered the lady married
him in preference to the one that was
drawn. The successful man is now
