LITTLE WOMAN OF SENSE.
once sacrificed pair of gloves to
woman who said what she felt like. She
was small herself, and she spelt man with
a large Nj, She loved him with an extra
sized IL for heart, and she looked
pretty because he liked her to. She was
frightened out Of her wits, and it was only
The consciousness that her tailor-made
frock came from Redfern's that gave her
courage to say anything at ALL But she
told them that she didn't want to compete
with men, and She didn't want TO be
treated by men as man. but preferred to
be treated as woman, and as long as she
did good work She wanted to have all the
fayorS possible shown her, because She
was woman Now, that's good sense.
But it's something we seldom hear in
womens clubs. i trust most earnestly
that what ] have said will not deter the
young woman who wrote to me from
joining the clab. Her salvation or the
other state is IN her own hands, and
wouldn't interfere with her for worlds.
Let her do as is customary in the plunge
in the Russian bath, tumble in and risk
drowning.

WAsHINGToN, June 14.-While the sur
render of the ltata may be very satisfactory
to ths Judicial aathorites, the prospect Of
reason Of her pursuit and return to San
Diegois not relished by the navy depart
ment officials. The bureau of equipment
has been figuring very close to prevent a
deficiency this year, and Captain Dewey
was congratulating himself that he had
succeeded; but if it turns out that his bu-
reau has to pay for the coal necessary to
bring the ltata north, the chances are that
the fund will run short by $1,000 or SO, 900.

The following, copied from the records
of an old work, illustrates the remark
able mechanical ability of metal and
wood workers of the close of the middle
ages: In the twentieth year of Queen
Elizabeth, a blacksmith named Mark
Scaliot made lock consisting of II
pieces OF iron, steel and brass, all Of
which, together with the key to it,
weighed but one grain of gold. He
also made chain of gold consisting of
43 links, and having fastened to this
the before mentioned lock and key, he
put the chain about the neck of flea,
which drew them all with ease. Ali
these together, lock and key, chain and
flea, weighed only one grain and
half. Oswaldus Norhingerus, who
was more famous even than
Scaliot for his minute contrivances,
is said to have made 1000 dishes of
turned ivory, all perfect and complete
in every part, yet SO small, thin and
slender, that all of them were included
at once in cup turned out of pepper
corn of the common size. Johannes
Shad of Mitalbrach carried his won
derful work with him to Rome and
showed it to Pope Paul ", who saw
and counted them all by the help of
spectacles. They were so little as to be
almost invisible to the naked eye.
Johannes Ferrius, a Jesuit, had in his
possession cannons of wood, with their
carriages, wheels and all other military
furniture, all Of which were also con
tanned in pepper-corn of the ordinary
size. An artist named Claudius Gallus
made for Hippolytus d'Este, Cardi Of
Ferrara, representations of sundry
birds sitting on the tops of trees, which
by hydraulic and secret conveyance Of
water through the trunks and branches
Of the trees, were made to sing and
clap their wings; lut at the sudden APP
pearance of m or out Of bush Of the
same artitice, they Immediately became
all mute and silent.

Not drum was beat,
Not bugle note,
Was heard as they walked the street..
For they softly stole
Without calling the roll
AS soon as they'd muffled their feet.
And they told the band
Not to raise hand
That would waken darkey clan;
As they wanted to go
Quite respectable, so
Ethiopia was placed under ban.
But the "coons" soon tumbled
When the drums once rumbled,
And they quickly learned the cause;
With a shout, by Belshazzer,
Wen git out our ''razzer''
And cut that crowd under the Jaws.
What beautiful ''figgers''
They cut without Hniggers,"
As they sneaked at the close of day;
But the ''coons,'' on reflection,
Have said, next election,
There will be the dickens to pay.

Enforcing Law to Make it Unpopular.

TACOMA, WASH, June 15.-As a re-
suit Of the prosecuting of the saloon
keepers of this city by the Anti-Sunday
Saloon Association not saloon was
open yesterday. The saloon keepers,
after being convicted, decided to enforce
the entire Sunday closing law, which
forbids any kind of business being done
except that Of undertakes, livery sta
nles and hotels. Yesterday in addition
to saloons and gambling houses not a
restaurant, cigar store or news stand
dared to open. 1t is thought the effect
Of this wholesale closing will bring
about a repeal Of the state law and de-
feat the Sunday closing movement.
The hotels could not accommodate the
hungry crowds used to getting meals at

Quay. Dudley and New Called Back Into
the Harrison Fold,


WAsHrNGToN, June 14.-The devel-
opmentg Of the past week are thought
here to show that, strange as ID may
seem, the President is relying for his
denomination upon the same individuals
and influences that brought about his
election in 1888. Appearances at one
the bridge that had carried him over,
and that he was looking for new path
by which to reach the White House for
IA second term.
Those appearances We've misleading.
The indications now are that his for
tunes are i'll the same old hands and
II he is renominated and reelected he
will owe his success to the same men
who plotted him to victory before. New
and Dudley and Quay are the men who
placed General Harrison in the White
House. New and Dudley nominated
him and Quay joined them afterwards
and helped TO elect him Then came a
period of wrangling and finally revolt.
New was refused o cabinet office, Dud-
ley was cut dead and Quay was made
TO eat humble pie. The general opinion
was that I'll was over between the Presi-
dent and those who had stood his best
friends in the hour of need. That seems,
however, to have been g hasty con-
clusion
New, who ultimately accepted the
consul-generalship to London, is under
stood u have forgiven the President,
and is to be ready now to return home
and help set up the primaries for re-
nomination. Quay, within few days,
has been closetcd with the President
and, as reported, will work for him
again; while, strangest Of all, the out.
lawed and despised Dudley, who has
moi passed the portals Of the White
House since President Harrison took
up his residence there, rebuked in
public interview the men who are or
ganizing Indiana opposition to second
term, and predicts, seemingly III Harri-
sons interest, that the movement will
come to nothing. This certainly looks
forcible, though the precise means by
which 1t has been accomplished do not
as yet appear
still there is no one bold enough to
predict that even with his old machine
in his employ again Gen. Harrison can
carry Indiana in 1892 The contrary,
however, is often asserted. The
Democracy of the state was never better
organized, and the skill of Gov. Gray as
a party leader is universally admitted.
Gov. Gray's only weakness has been the
opposition Of ex-senator Mcdonald.
But this has been neutralized of late,
and should the ex-senator, who is now
very i'll, die, there would be no one left
to challenge the complete supremacy of
the governor, Mr.. Gray aspires to the
second place on the Democratic national
ticket, but whether he secures it or not
the party will enjoy the fruits of his in
huence AZ home, and that, every one
here agrees, will be sufficient to redeem
Indiana to the Democracy.

The MANLY Course with Chill.

The government is at last obliged to con-
fess itself in difficulties over the CHILEAN
situation, and, as our Washington cores
pendent indicates, to admit that these diff
tiles are directly the result of entrusting
a foreign mission to perfectly incapable
and untrustworthy politician like Egan.
Mr.. Blaine is even forced to suspect that
Egan has conveyed the substance of the
governments latest dispatch in form to
suit himself, though in any case the reply
OF the Junta is not unreasonable. Of
course Egan supposes that he is at Valpa-
raiso to carry out q vigorous foreign
policy and to advertise himself by max
ing trouble. But thisoountry is far too big
to go about tholwofldl picking quarrels
with small nations9toS which it has been
careless enough to seud inefficient Minis
tiers. We insulted Our own prestige and
honor far more when we allowed Egan TO
present our credentials than the Chilians
have since been able to do. In other words
there is really no difficulty in the situation
at all. The facts that have been learned
within the past few days as to the con-
unued and improper activity of our repre-
sentaniyes in giving assistance to Ralma-
coda and his party make it evident that
the manly and dignified course is to recall
Ega1 at once. TO support him would be
simply to bully weak and distracted
people. =.

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES.
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Property
DESTROYED In st. Lonis County.

AtNstipftA ia 5ts ODuntys
ST. Louis, Nov. 2.-One of the most dis
astrous forest fires ever known in st. Louis
county has been raging for the past three
days in the western portion of the county.
Thousands of dollars worth of valuable
property has been destroyed, and, unless
there is rain within few days, the loss
will reach enormous figures.
The fire started last Thursday morning
on the farm of Tom Nicholas near Glencoe,
and spread so rapidly that in few min
utes it had got beyond control. It baffled
efforts of the people of the neighborhood
who turned out en- masse to save the Mich
oils homestead, which in few hours later,
with its valuable contents, lay shoulder
ing heap of ruins. The property was val
ued at 5000 by Mr.. Nichols, and was a
well-known landmark of that neighbour
hood.
The flames have kept up steady march
ever since, lighting up the sky for miles
around at night, throwing dense columns of
smoke i'll the sky during the day and leav-
ing destruction in its path.
Acres upon acres of wheat have sue
cumbed in the flames and in many places
valuable residence property, barns and
stock have been saved only by blowing up
crops to prevent the spread Of the fire.
Acres of valuable timber have been de-
stroyed between Glencoe and Eureka. The
fire was still raging in that vicinity at a
late hour last night, The farmers are In
a state of anxiety.
