Himself to blame.

In one OF Bret Harte's clever parodies OF
thing like these: Three gumins were play
ing in tho streets of Paris. A priest passed
by. "There goes priest" cried one; "look
out for your eggs and your chickens!'
Then the priest, hearing the words, knelt
down and prayed for the boys. But upon
reflection he WAS convinced that it was not
the fault of the boys, but Of their parents.
He knelt down the second time and prayed
for the boys parents. On another thought
he saw that it was not the fault of the
boys parents, but of society. He knelt
down again and prayed for society AS he
rose from his prayer he said to himself:
my friend, who is society," You and are
society" So he knelt down the last time
and prayed Tor himself.-San Francisco

More Than His Head Wa. in Hi. Hat.

1t was gusty on the North river yester
day morning, and most of the passengers
who stood on the decks of the ferryboats
held their fingers on the brims of their

clutched last seasons white hat firmly
with both hands. The tile was so evidently
relic of the past that his extreme caution
to prevent it being blown away aroused
some ridicule and as the refrain OF "Wherc
did you get that hati" grew more marked
and personal the owner angrily withdrew
his hands, as though he might need them
presently for another purpose. The next
moment the old hat was In the river.

"s.ve Me from Ny Friends y

This saying is commonly attributed t<
Voltaire, who at Ferney, when pestered
by professions OF insincere friendship
said: 81 pray God to deliver me
from my friends; will defend myself
from my enemies" The thought, how
ever. is attributed by the French to Mar
shall Villars, while Kant discovers it in al
Italian proverb. and n German collection
of proverbial wisdom gives it in modified
form. Antigonus, one of the generals o.
Alexander the Great, offered sacrifice tha,
the gods might protect him from hi,
friends, and at the same time declaring he
could look after his enemies himself
Churchill has something of the idea in thl

that Mr.. O'Mahony ouly attacked those
absent, which was 1.-THE act OF 4 COW

repeated, and Mr.. O'Mahony exclaimed
Il am ready to meet you on any field :
Mr.. Hanna smiled derislvely, the
House laughed aud the lobby was so hi
lariouS that IL required the Speaker
gavel to restore order.
As soon as he could be heard through
the uproar Nj. O'Mahony yelled: 81

blackguard and 4 coward ~
Mr.. Hanna's face became serious
then. He explained that matters hac
reached such point that they could
only be settled between OMahony anc
himself. Mr. OMahony then went
over TO Hanua's desk.
They talked together excitedly mo
ment and friends interfered, for a col
lision seemed inevitable. a. the after

TWO PROMINENT MEN DEAD.
j.. n. Mccullough aud john McKeown
Pass Away.

PITTsBURG, Pa, February Sd. y
Mccullough, First Nice-President OF the
Pennsylvania Company's lines west of
Pittsburg, and a central figure in rail-
railroad management for thirty years,
died at his residence in Allegheny City
at 3:35 o'clock this morning OF general
debility.
Three months ago Mr.. Mccullough
lost the power of his lower limbs, and
was confined to his home. The trouble
could be aScribed to no disease and the
physicians concluded it was the result
Of too constant riding on the railroad
ears. 1t was expected to be of
short duration and Mr.. Mccullough
rapid recovery was confidently looked
forward 70. lie grew worse instead Of
better The rest of his body became
affected. He rapidly lost in tone and
vitality until he was relieved by death.
The end was peaceful and evidently
painless. The deceased was born at
Yellow Creek, Jefferson county, Ohio,
in 1921. His early years were spent In
mercantile pursuits, and in 1858 he en-
tered the railroad field as President OF
the Cleveland and PittSburg railroad.
The road was then at its lowest ebb and
the following year he was appointed re-
ceiyer.
Under his economic and able man
agement the Cleveland and Plttsburg
road emerged from it's difficulties and
within five years became one of the best
paying properties in the country. His
ability as a railroad manager was at
once recognized by persons controlling
railroad properties, and in the spring OF
1868 the Pittshurg, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railway Company offered him
the General Superintendency Of the
Fort Wayne road, which he accepted.
In 1871 the Pennsylvania railroad leased
he Fort Wayne road. and Mr.. McCul-
ough was appointed General Manager.
Later. when the Pennsylvania Company
Vas formed, he was elected First Vice
President Of this company, and also OF
he Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st. Louis |
md all the other Pennsylvania lines
vest Of PittSburg. These offices he re
aimed until his death.
His estate is said TO be worth more
han $4,000, 600. No arrangements |
iave been made for the funeral.

FUTURE OF THE IRISH.
Gladstone is Waiting Until the Differences
Are All Settled.

BoULoGNE, February S.-lrish nego-
tiations still drag along. Despite all
reports to the contrary, no settlement
has been reached. Gladstone has given
assurances. but their suificiency is still
a matter of dispute, not between Glad
stone and O'Brien, but between O'Brien
and Parnell. | can state on authority
that Parnell has not abandoned
home rule or hope OF settle
ment which will leave him
In control Of the Irish party. The Eng
lish papers are wholly wrong in stating
that Gladstone demands promise OF
Parnell'S absolute retirement from Par
lament. Even Davitt says that such a
request would be mODstrous. Parnell
will retire from the sessiOnal chairman
ship and will devote himself until gem
eral elections 10 work in Ireland.
The Gladstonians are gradually rccOv-
ering from the depressing effects OF the
Irish crisis, and the Government is con-
seQuently making less progress with its
Legislation. The Gladstonians are now
confident OF winning the general cleo
ton, but this oniidence IS largely
based on premature hopes raised as TO
the settlement Of Irish disputes.
Tim Healy met Gladstone at dinner
last night. The meeting was purposelY
arranged through the agency OF Nc
Carthy and Sexton, as they think Glad
stones personal influence might induce
Healy to accept the Boulogne terms
and prevent hiIn from causing further
split.
The dinner was given by Sir Charles
Forster, Liberal member. Healy sal
next Gladstone. II being a bachelor
party, Gladstone was entirely occupied
talking with Healy. IL Is believed that
if Healy should be amenable to reason
next Thursday it will be because OF
Gladstone'S persuasion. Gladstone, Of
course, wants the quarrel settled so that
the Irish party may get solid vote in
Parliament, though his personal wrath
against Parnell is fierce.
