How . Benevolent Man Furnished Wind
 for Poor F1utist.
 In "A Book of Vagrant Men and Va grant Thoughts" Alfred T. Story gives the following graphic description of street incident: "I was once," he says, Gan eyewitness of an amusing, and at the same time pathetic incident in an East End thoroughfare, in which poor futist was the chief actor. It happened one bleak night in December. The streets were almost deserted, and bit ter wind was driving down the streets, carrying everything before it. Few people were about. Nevertheless, wretched fiute-player, despite the wind, was trying to blow few coppers from the pockets of the chance wayfarers. ''He seemed to be in the last stage of consumption. His long, black coat was pinned across his throat in way that suggested his shirtless condition, while on his face was written a whole jeremi- ad of woe.
 Although he blew into his pipe with all the might he could command, yet he produced no sound. The gale was too strong for him. The fierce gusts seemed to be blown through and through the poor fellow, and with such searching keenness that the wonder was that the soul of the man was not blown out of his lean body.
 Presently big, lusty, well-favored man came along. He observed curious. | ly for a minute or two the poor futist's | efforts to raise the wind; then quietly taking the instrument out of his hands. he applied it to his own lips, at the same time telling the poor fellow to go before and hold the hat.
 "He did so. whereupon the worthy citizen commenced to blow out such a liquid flood of melody that every passer- by stood and listened, and many of the listeners put their hands into their pockets, and cast their maravedi into the reversed headcover.
 "Thus the two men went the length of the street. Then the rubicund Or pheus returned the flute to its owner, wished him goodnight and a better SUD- per and turned to go.
 ''But the poor iuter, grateful for his unexpected windfall, gently detained his benefactor, and thinking he was in the profession, proposed to divide with him the results of their joint efforts; but the stranger would not hear of it it, and hastened quickly away, the oth- CT meanwhile delaying his much-needed supper to look after him with dimming | eyes,

BAILEY of Globe, who helped to construct the constitution, was re- ported by the Globe Belt as being op. posed to statehood when he went to the convention. It now chuckles over the fact that he is still opposed to it and will vote against it. Not withstanding his opposition to it, he signed it so that in case it carried, hi. name might ieure as one of the framers of the act. If this is sam pie of Globe intelligence, we admi that the new state should be surveyed e e to leave that part of it out.

It Worked Like a Charm.

Imagination goes long way in re- heving peoples ailments A lady of this city has for the past six months regulated the air of her room by glass transom. When the room was too close, she opened the transom to admit air, closing it at night to prevent draughts and exclude noise. It worked like charm until she discovered that there had never been any glass in the transom.-Detroit Free Preec.

 CLEVELAND TALKS. NEW YoRk-When seen at his resi- dence on Madison avenue, ex-Presi- dent Grover Cleveland gave his opin- ions of the result of Tuesdays election as follows:
 "Of course every one has right 10 put his own construction upon the result and am not anxious to ob- trude my ideas, but it seems to mt something's ought not to be longer doubtful. Any man who still thinks the tariff eferm is 8 settled snd obso' lete issue or that the importance of sound and safe money, is a question upon which the people can be blinded is either wilfully wrong or dangerous. ly dull. It seems to me too that the Democrats ought to be satisfied that the stxunch adherance to the princi- ples of their party does not require the abuse of those who show an in clination of habits. I very much re- gret the defeat of Governor Campbell. He has been brave and honest off, cial. This and the splendid canvass he made entitled him to success While the election of Flower, Russell, and Boise ought to cause the utmost rejoicing among the Democrats they should not forget that with these things come the obligation to be true to the people, honest in the advocacy of it's principles and decent in all things"

 CLEvELAND-The Leader says that the republicans in Ohio, made the campaign purely on national is- sues, that McKinley's forcible speech es aroused with the people such in- terest in protection and honest money that their welfare and that of theiI families demanded them to vote and work for his election, that campaigns conducted on national i.sues always bring out larger vote than the dis cussion of local questions can secure

As the days, weeks and months dragged
slowly by It became apparent to both
Mrs. Fenwicke and Rose that their
safety, as well as their comfort, de-
pended almost wholly upon the unAag-
ging and inexplicable interest taken in
them by Maynard. Apaoe with the
lapse Of time his exertions in their be-
half increased, although It was plain
that he used every precauion to try to
keep them from knowing II. BE never
mentioned his connection with any Of
their affairs, save to make some inquiry
when 1t became necessary for him to
reach facts that 1t was Of Importance
for him to use in their behalf, and then
only in n way that precluded embarrass-
ment.
Neither Rose nor her mother could be
cruel enough to openly question his
honesty Of purpose 80 long as not even
the slightest appearance Of Questionable
intent was shown in his conduct, and GER
tainly their condition would have be-
come unbearable had he chosen to let it
be so. Still (was II the wound across
his cheek, or was It some half hidden
expression Of his eyes, they suspected
and feared him; indeed, they found
themselves all the time expecting him to
disclose the secret evil he was planning
for them.
Naturally enough they often talked
the matter over, frequently resolving
that they would make an end Of It by
telling him kindly and firmly that they
would prefer to be left entirely to them
selves, but, as often when he came, in
his dignifed and calmly courteous way,
to inquire about their health or to re-
port some necessary details touching the
affairs of their estate, 1t was quite i'm
possible not to treat his kindness with o
certain degree Of gentle consideration.
Never once did he in tha slightest de-
port himself as II he were entitled to be
treated as friend or even q familiar
acquaintance.
So the time passed on from spring to
summer and from summer to autumn.
Early in September the feet Of Count
d'Estaing appeared of Tybee island, and
forthwith tie British commander ct Sa-
vannah made ready for q desperate de-
fense. Mai. Gen. Provost had not been
expecting the movement TO begin 20
early In the season and had not pushed

planned.
Now, however, he displayed great
energy In finishing those works which
would cover Savannah to the eastward

there to march forthwith to join him,
and drawing in all his outpost detach-
ments concentrated every available man
within the lines Of defense. While this
was going on the American general, Lin

The way was not more than twenty
feet wide and In some parts had been
strengthened by half buried palmetto
logs, forming q sort Of corduroy, very
dangerous for the footing Of the horses,
whose springing and rearing and plung-
ing kept a sort Of time to the rapid
sword strokes Of the straining men.
Nearer and nearer came the scattered
spray Of the disordered army Of Gen.
Howe, foundering along wildly. ainging
aside guns and abandoning artillery
leaving everything in the hands Of the
victorious British.
Lieut. Prescott knew that If he de-
layed but q few short moments finishing
with his antagonist all would be lost To
him.
wheeling his own horse, the heuten-
ant spurred on toward Savannah, well
knowing that his antagonist could not
follow. Two or three British fired at
him from little swell to his left, but
their bullets hissed over his head A
little further on, where the road made
short turn, he thundered through q be-
wildered group of American soldiers,
who, hatless and gunless, were painting

He forgot the wrenching and strain
ing, the fatigue, the all but exhaustion
Of the struggle through which be had
come; but with his bare sword gripped
in his right hand, the reins held firmly
in his left, he leaned over the pommel
and strove to increase the speed Of his
foaming horse. He did not once think
Of the humiliation Of defeat, nor did it
occur to him that his duty might be
along the line in striving to rally the
broken and flying army Of freedom.
It was like a fearful rebuke to him
that just after he had passed over little
log causeway round shot, half spent,
