A sick Thief

Chicago special: The facts have just
itranspired In regard to clever theft Of
a very valuable package Of letters be-
longing to the Northwestern National
Bank. The bank messenger called at
the postoffice for the banks mail, and
was given part of it and was told to cali
for the remainder In fifteen minutes.
Just before the expiration Of that time q
young man, who had evidently over
heard the conversation with the mes
senger, put his head yat the de-
livery window and said: az want
the rest of the Northwestern banks
mail," 1t was given him without ques-
tion and nothing more was thought Of
the matter till the arrival Of the regu-
lar messenger. Then there was .
scurrying around, but the thief had es-
capped and he has not since been seen.
Subsequently eight of the missing letters
were found in q closet. 1t Is supposed
that the stolen package consisted Of
about sixty letters containing from $1o0-
900 to $3.50, 900 mostly in checks, drafts
and other rnon-negotiable paper.

The joint committee representing the
Republican and Democratic sides of the
Montana House has signed the c0mpro-
mise agreement submitted by the Demo-
Gratis. The point raised with reference
TO which journal of proceeding should be
adopted was finally disposed of by an
agreement to leave the matter to two
Senators. If either journal is adopted
legal complications will arise, and 1t is
possible that the new Organization will
commence with new journal. Accord
ing to the terms of the compromise the
Democrats concede three Of the five con-
testants from Silver Bow to the Repub-
licans, thus giving to the Republicans
twenty-eight members to twentY-seven,
but the Democrats will have the organi-
cation of the House.

Senator Brice, the millionaire New
Yorker who bought an Ohio seat in the
United States Senate, is coming to grief
at last At Columbus, Ohio, the State
Supreme Court decided that he must pay
several thousand dollars taxes, out of
which he had succeeded in defrauding
State and county! This leaves the cor
rupt politician in more unfavorable
light than ever. 1t shows how nigh a
thoroughly corrupt man may stand in
the Democratic party. This man Brice
was Chairman of the last Democratic
National Committee, and was Mr.. Cleye-
lands chief political hacker. This same
man afterward, while resident of New
York City, and SO recorded in the CEN
sus, bought seat in the United States
Senate from Ohio No one knows how
much he paid for the seat, but thousands
OF dollars found it's way into the pockets
OF the Democratic members OF the Leg

TWO YEARS OF HARRISON.

Administration.

just q Few Wor Us Concerning the Present
Administration.
The administration of President Har-
rison is half finished. Standing at this
point, the dividing line between the two
years past and the two years to come,
we may look both ways. We know what
the past has been, and can form pretty
correct estimate as to what the future
will be.
The character of the administration is
already formed and fixed, and there is
no danger of its undergoing any ma.
terial change. 1t is simp'e justice to
say that the country never had better.
It possesses every element that patriotic
Americans, proud of their country and
chiefly interested in maintaining the dig.
| nifty, honor and credit OF the govern
ment, should wish an administration to
have. No more conscientious President
ever occupied the White House, or one
whose every act showed more studious
| desire to administer his high offlce
according to the Constitution and for
the welfare of all the people. 1t is
| an honest, able, dignified, clean, busl-
| ness-like and patriotic administration.
! And such 1T will continue to be as
| long as President Harrison remains

| have been no scandals connected with
it Every department. is ably admins
tered and every interest of the people
carefully served. It's foreign and do
mestic policy is prominently Ameri-
can Many notable things have already
been achieved, and many more are likely
to be during the next two years. The
victories of this administration are not
merely nor primarily partisan victories.
They are victories for the country and
| for the American people.
When President Harrison was inau-
| gurated experienced politicians said his
| first year would be his hardest. They
were right All the time, however, the
President was equal to the situation and
master of it. Az the time, too, the PEG,
pie were getting better understanding
of his motives and methods Of action,
and the more they understood the better
they liked them. From this on the adj
mnistraton will have comparatively
plane sailing, and the President and his
able helpers can devote themselves with
unhampered energy to the public SER

Babv,s Education.

Direct mental habits may be formed
even in the youngest children. A baby
not yet old enough to walk should be
subject to an orderly and systematic
course of training. In the tender
years, when the indefinite is becoming
definite to the pure thought of q child,
the greatest of care should be exer-
cised.
Sara E. Wiltse gives an interesting
example in the case of very young
child and a watch: "A baby recently
took my watch, and, as q matter Of
course, was about to carry it to Der
mouth. said, Not mouth, ear put
ting the watch to my ear, and then to
hers. She undoubtedly caught the
sound, and after few efforts could
carry the watch to her own ear. to her
mothers, her sisters and mine, taking
evident delight In the attempted order
involved in giving each turn. There
was evident difficulty in overcoming
the muscular tendency to carry the
watch TO her own mouth, the little
hands fourishing about in q bewildered
way when attempting this feat, but
making much more direct and free
movements when seeking the ear o.
another; in the latter she was, o.
course, aided by the presentation o

Mary Pennock Accepts the Fortune Left
Her by . wronged Lover. ,
NEW York, March 21.-After many
years of struggle, deprivation, and sor-
row, after the man she loved had been
torn from her side by the cruel intrigu-
ing of jealous rival, Miss Mary Pen
mock, of Greenport, L. l., is about to
come into possession of q fortune OF
nearly million. During the war Miss
Pennock, who was then young and pre-
possessing, became nurse In one OF the
union hospitals. She was refined and
educated, and was almost idolized by the
sick and wounded soldiers under her
care. In the same hospital there was a
surgeon named Douglass, from Ohio.
He was young, handsome, talented and
popular. An attachment sprang up be-
tween them. In course Of time they had
become affianced lovers. There were
other female nurses in the hos
pital who envied Miss Pennock,
and all that jealousy could sug-
gest was done to separate the lovers.
The night before they were to be mar
ried negress knocked at the young
girls room. When Miss Pennock opened
the door mulatto baby was put in her
arms. "f you are going to marry the
doctor you had better take care of his
child" said the woman. The girl tainted,
and when restored to consciousness she
refused to see her lover or listen to ex-
plantations. Broken hearted she left the
hospital and returned to her home.
DR.. Douglass tried in every way to
reach her and convince her that she had
wronged him, but she would not see him.
Within short time he died, leaving her
by will all his property. amounting to
$500, 900. She was dependent upon her
labor for living and his fortune would
have made her rich, but she would not
accept 1t.
About 1880 she went to Greenport as a
nurse in wealthy family. Some time
later she learned through one of the
women who had been nurse in the hos
pital with her that the mulatto baby
was not the child of DR.. Douglass. She
revoked her decision as to the accept
ance Of the terms of the will and deter
mined to take the fortune and spend II

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 21.-Sen-
ator Fair is perhaps the richest man on
the Pacific coast. His daughter Jessie
married Herman Oelrich, of New York,
and he has two sons, James, jr., and
Charles. Recently James, jr. was dis
charged from hospital where he had
been seriously iii, due to drinking.
When he was discharged some friends
persuaded him to go and see DR.. Brown,
the hypnotist, who had performed
wonders with an opium fiend.
He laughed at it at first, but
went, and the hypnotizer put him under
the influence for several hours exercised
his influence on Fairs palate. At last
when Fair was brought back to con-
seriousness he was told to go and drink
no more. The admonition was not
necessary. Fair could not drink; the
smell OF liquor was abhorrent, and when
he drank glass of wine it acted as an
emetic. This was six weeks ago. The
brother, Charles, went to Brown and the
operation was repeated in his case with
q like result.

Hon. John NJ Thurston, of Nebraska,

meeting in New York of the Executive
Committee of the Republican League of
the United States, of which he is Presi-
dent. He says Republicanism is very
much alive in the East, and that every
thing points to Republican revival
throughout the country. He predicts
that the annual convention of the Re-
publican League, to be held in Cincin-
natl. will be one of the greatest political
gatherings ever held in the United States,
and will sound the keynote for the Presi-
Dental campaign CT 1892. OF the League

LONDON, March 21.--Number forty
eight OF the famous boat races between
the crews Oxford and Cambridge uni
versities WAS rowed this morning. 1t
was won by Oxford by a quarter OF a
length. The time OF the winning crew
was 20 minutes. The race was over the
usual course, q distance of about four
and quarter miles. Hundreds Of
steamers and barges, loaded down with
spectators, were anchored along the
river. In addition to this the house tops,
tow paths, streets and other points OF
vantage near the Thames were crowded
with sightseers. Thousands of carriages
Of every description lined the river
banks. The attendance, however, did
not equal that of former years, owing to
the early hour at which the race was
rowed and to the prevalence OF q sleet
storm In the forenoon, and OF the bitter
cold weather.
