A Pen Picture OF One OF the Most

Much is heard these days about the
persisteney of the Office seeker, both
male and female. They are TO be en-
countsfed at every turn about the capital,
and the.e is continual race ia progress
betWoen them and th0se supposed % pos
srss the coveted influence for securing q
place; the ons seeking to fssten his or
her case; The oiheg, to avoid meetings
which consume time and may possibly
embarrass long cherished plans. But
while the pertinaoity OF the plsce-hunter
has become proverbial, and he is held up
to public estimation as but one degree
above the footpad who arrests hin in
tended victim with "Your money or your
life" but mere especially the former,
| there is another aida to the picture, not
present in every case, yet Often enough
TO give pathetic side TO ths career OF
this class. How many Of those who
suffer from their visitatiops realize how
all-important the obtaining of some little
| place is to larRe number CT these un-
! fortunates how close the wolf stands to
the door of many of them how deep and
| bitter is the disappointment when, after
\ weeks and months OF fondly cherished
hopes, engendered or encouraged by the
kind words Of some senator or represents
tive the cup is seen to pass to the lips OF
another These are phases seldom
thought of, but which are every now and
then brought out by some little incident
which tells its story louder than any sp-
peal Of the ottics-aseker could do.
Such an one was presented 10 the gaHe

fainting condition, supported by an
en- uloye who was about entering the
building, sat lady CT preposseasing ap-

ness of care rather than cost. For two
hours che had waited in the surging
throng above, confident that the day foE
the realization Of her aims had come.
She had bncEinR-p!enty of 1t. Two
United States senators had signed heI
papers, and honeyad words had indaced
her to believe that the day for ap-
pointment had dawned. But the
scenes Witnessed in those two hours
wers too much for her. The struggling
rn0Ba, where selishness obiruded every

article occupies column and half on

Mr.. Carnegie to Allegheny AID Pittsbarg,
says.
MIR. Carnegie is fair representative Of
class OF nsn who gain fame and fortune
at the expense of the poor. The money
which has gone to the erection OF the
structures which he presents represents
SO much money taken from the msn who
really earned it. II represents so many
groans and walls of anguish so many
starving families; so many sick men,
delicate women and feeble babies. II
means the intensiioation of the greatest
curse and crime of the age-that OF In.
voluntary poverty. The world is nc
richer by such gifta, but immeasursbiy
poorer.
Why should city accept such gift,
tainted as it must be by the stains Of &C
many eviis2 Would Andrew Carnegie
give 81 to a beggar deserving of assist,
ance if his giving was not in some way
brought to the notice of the world
Would he not be acting far mere jussl,

condition OF those in his employ Thos
who created his wealth are eking out
miserable existence, whio he scatter

BUFFALO, N. Y, Fob. 16. Intense in
terest is manifested in remarkable action
brought in the police court here yester-
day. The hero of the tale is George
Reih!, youth o. II years ard the pos.
sesser of two wives. he is n nephew OF
wouid-hc postmaster Police Captain John
K'aft. Narths K-ntz, aged 81 and
Liz q Sohiok, aged IL, are respectively
the 6rst and second wives. George was
married to Martha on December 18th,
1883, by the Rev. q. e. Aekerman. Iu-
side of Six mouths, on Juus 18Th, 1889,
he was married to Lizzie. The Rev.
Father Weider did the business this time.
George soon grew tired Of oic frat love
and devoted his time snd affection to the
Young and pretty Lizzie. This enraged
Martha, and she procured Q warrant for
lae arrest of her unfsithful husband. He
, skipped out and nothing was done. The
! youthful bigamist turned up in Buffalo
| last Friday and renewed his attentions TO
the fair Martha, and so aggravated mat
ters by his obnoxious manner that Lizzie
got mad and proceeded to the police sta
| ton TO oStain warrant against George
on charge of bigsmy. George an his
father hastened after the irRto Lizzie, and
appeared in the police court Eve minut Is
after the warrant had been Issued. MIR.
Riehl. sr., swore out = warrant against
the girl, charging her with violation OF
that part of the bigsmy law providing
for punishment OF consort. He alleges
that Lizzie was ooguizant Of the fact OF
his sons first marriage. Both gave bail,
and the trial is set down for Wednesday.
An assertion mads by his father that
speaks trouble for the priest who per
formed tho second marriage is that ht
had notified the Rev. Father Weider O
Georges first marriage, and told him al
the facts.

of the Parnell commission is q triumphant
aoquittal of all the accused Psrnellite
members of the house of commons.
The Freeandn's Journal dublin, says
that the Parnellite members of the house
OF commons are acquitted all along the
line. The report, it says, is virtually
verdict against their acousers.
The Erwtss says that the report indi-
oates that the woSk of the Land League
was connected with the increase Of crime
in Ireland. The moral weight of the
verdict against the respondents is tre-
mendous. No pleading can relieve them
of terrible sponsibiiity. The findings
embody series OF the gravest charges.
Though Mr.. Parnell is not included in
the tressonaole conspiracy ne is oon-
