A GRAPHIC TALE.
1t May Have Been a Thrilling Story.
But 1t Was Interrupted.

But 1t Was Interrupted.
Mrs. Bilkins had left the table and
the two men had settled back for a
smoke. It was the first visit that
Browne had paid the Bilkinses in sew
eral years, and of course there was
plenty to talk about. Bilkins had a
story to tell his bachelor friend, and
after he had gotten we'll under way it
ran something like this:
GAS was saying-You don't mind
having the children in here, do you?
No OF course not. l knew you
wouldn't. Well, we figured it out that
we were 20 miles from the nearest
habitation, and it was showing like
Excuse me! Put your nut pick lit
tie farther on the table. Mabel will get
it and hurt herself with it.
''The snow, you see, was binding,
the horses were nearly worn out, and
the mercury was rapidly falling. To
add to the horror OF the situation
look out! Albert is reaching for your
plate. That's right. Put it in the
middle of the table. Have you ever
been lost in a snow storm? No? Well,
we were. There was no question about
that. And want to tell you that it s
q mighty serious thing
"We knew that we were off the trail,
but we were in hopes Of finding it. If
we didn't strike it within hall an hour
we knew-Robert, if you take any
more nuts off your fathers plate
you'll get thrashing. There was
small chance of striking the trail, too.
In fact, we might have crossed it once
or twice and never known it on ac-
count of-Albert has your fruit knife.
It's dangerous to leave them near the
edge of the table.
well, we struggled on for 10 or 1 5
minutes more, and then we just about
gave out. The snow and the cold
made it unbeatable. Then one of the
horses gave out, and-there! Mabel
has grabbed your cigar. I knew she
would. Don't cry, Mabel. Run to
mamma and she'll fix the burn
Then, after Mable had left and quiet
was again restored, Bilkins suggested:
"You don't seem to be Interested"
ooh, yes, I am," was the reply.

FRENCH REPARTEE,
Some Clever Answers BY Clever
Frenchmen,

Some Clever Answers BY Clever
Frenchmen,
The late Chinese Minister in Paris
is credited with reply as skillfuI as
it was courteous to a great lady who
besieged him with questions con-
corning his creed. He evaded them
adroitly until she demanded to know
whether it was true that his religion
permitted a plurality of wives.
"Of necessity, madame" he re-
piled, "a man must have several
wives in order to secure all the virtues
which are nowhere combined but in
YOU"
The lady blushed and smiled, but
was silenced. Less civil was the
answer Of the young French minister
who, while preaching in a chapel in a
French hamlet, where the men sat on
one side of the aisle and the women
en- the other, was annoyed by the
sound OF whispering and paused in his
sermon to reprove it.
'Your reverence will OBSERVE" in
terposed the principal woman that it
comes from the mems side.''
$50 much the better, madame. It
will end, then, some time"
A sharp reply or a fnely-turned
bon mot is never forgotten in France.
1t is a treasure in which the people
take eager delight, as do other people
in their crown jewels. Someone who
had a. keen perception of national
characteristics referred to this trait
when he said: elm Spain men ask of a
newcomer. What is his birth? In
Germany, What has he read? In
France, What has he said? In Hol-
land Howmuch money has hep In
Great Britain, rs he English? And
in America, What kind OF a man is
he?"
"Who are these?" asked Louis
Philippe, when several fat noblemen
seeking places at Court kept bowlng
low before him.
"Only jugs, your Majesty" was the
answer, that are lowered in order to
be filed"

Pa1LADELPaIA's BANK BREAKS.

Spring Garden Depositors Wan: the
Government to Repay Them.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 15.-At d
meeting of the association of the depositors
of the wrecked Spring Garden National
Bank tonight the following was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting
that some arrangement be made whereby suit
may be brought against the United States gov
ment TO recover our lost money, as the govern
ment is mainly responsible for our loss through
the incapacity of its sworn officials.
Action will probably be taken by the
executive committee of the association.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY UNDER FIRE.
Another resolution was adopted INSTRUCT
ing the secretary to write to President Har-
rison, and ask him to inquire into the con-
duct of United States District Attorney
Read with regard to the arrest of the Off
cials OF the Spring Garden Bank. 1t is
claimed that at the time the arrest of Presi-
dent Kennedy and Cashier Kennedy was
made warrants were also obtained for
Directors Ephraim Young and Nelson F.
Evans, who were shown to be illegal Dor
rowers from the bank. These warrants, the
resolution sets forth, are still in the hands
of District Attorney Reade, aud the associa-
tion wants to know why they have not been
served.
YARD COMES TO THE SCRATCH.
Henry F. Yard. the real estate promoter,
who was arrested in Trenton on Friday last
on charge of conspiring with ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley to misuse 5000, 900
OF the city and state money, surrendered
himself here this afternoon and was released
on $40, 900 bail for a hearing. 1t
had been expected that Yard would oppose
in New Jersey courts the efforts to bring
him back here, and his action this after
noon was therefore something Of surprise.
Steps looking to his extradition had been
taken by the authorities, but these will
now be dropped.

A Lively Incident in the Fight Now on
.4 at Bridgeport.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June 15.-There was
sensational episode in the police embroglio
last night when Pstrolman Murphy, who
was suspended for drunkenness, but acquit-
ted and ordered to report for duty by the
new Democratic commissioners, was
ordered from the ranks ana roll call by
Chief Ryland. Murphy refused to obey,
when by the chiefs orders he was
torcibly removed, after a struggle, by two
other officers and his badge taken away.
Chief Ryland, who is acting under Mayor
Marigold's instructions. is entrenched in his
office, which is guarded by officers. He says
he intends TO meet force with force, and it is
considered certain that If q forcible attempt
is made to GUST him and install new chief
there will be bloodshed.
THE EXCITEMENT AT FEVER HEAT.
The excitement over the police middle
was at fever heat this evening. At z
O'Clock the night patrolmen were ordered to
fall in by Chief Ryland The entire squad
obeyed the first order, but before the
command was given to march three of the
symparhizers with the old board of police
commissioners refused to go on duty.
Mayor Marigold ordered the men
to surrender their badges They
refused at first, and much excitement
prevailed in the station house, which was
crowded with friends Of both factions.
Several roughs in the crowd drew revolvers,
and for time it looked as though riot was
inevitable.
THE MAYOR STANDS FIRM.
Mayor Marigold stood firm in his demand
for the badges Of the men who refused to do
duty under Chief Ryland, and after time
secured them. After the detail had pro-
ceeded a short distance two others returned
aud surrendered their badges. The excite
ment at this time was intense in and
about the station house, and the
mayor was compelled to read the riot act to
the crowd. which soon dispersed. 1t had
become generally known that the state
| troops had been called together, which
probably had an effect on the excited
crowd. The action of the mayor is upheld
by the majority of the law-abiding citizens

the Wesleyan Female College. There is a
large number of visitors present at the col
lege. and all of them appear to be having a
very enjoyable time The second and third
sections OF the senior class read essays to-

lima delivered an address and awarded the
medals to the successful contestants in COM
position and elocution.
Miss Sallie B. Conner of Birmingham
who is a member of the class which grad
uated this year, took the first honor. She
is a brilliant girl, and has a splendid record
at Wesleyan. Her grandmother, Mrs. g.
L. Conner OF Savannah, who is present to
see her graduate, is one Of the oldest living
graduates of Wesleyan. She is a member
of the class of 1841. At graduation she
received, of course, the degree of A. B. In
1860 she received the degree OF A. NJ. She
is quite an old lady now. but she takes great
interest in Wesleyans commencements.
In fact, she has attended every
one Of them since her graduation.
And there is every reason TO think
she will attend a good many more, and see
others Of her grandaughters graduate. Her
years sit lightly upon her, and she appears
to get as much pleasure out OF Wesleyan's
commencements as those who gradual ted
only few years ago-rnore. in fact. be-
cause she takes profound interest in the
affairs of the college. She is guest at the
home of her nephew, DR.. James A.

Household Expenses Carefully Looked
After in England.
From the Ne,0 York World.
To keep an establishment extravagantly
on $40, 600 or $40, 900 works quite as much
mischief as to mismanage on 1000 or less.
Why is it that servants who have been Ia
service 10 good families in England, Ireland
or Scotland are sought after so eagerly with
usl For the simple reason that there the
household affairs are managed with thrift
among the very wealthy. If the mistress
Of the house is too delicate or has too many
social engagements to attend to the details
herself, there is always a housekeeper who
does this in a systematic way.
Stores are kept in a locked room, the
cook reports each morning what she needs
for the day, and the articles are given to
her; the housekeeper, knowing the menu
for each meal, understands if the cook is
making proper demands. No waste of any
kind is allowed; the very scullery maid
knows this, and dares not leave her soan in
the water, etc. There is no better school
for training servant than for her To he
taken into rich household of this sort.

Republican Alliancemen of Kansas
Repudiate the Movement.
CHICAGO, June ia special from To-
peka. Kan, says the returns received by
the alliance executive committee from the
sub-alliances, which were asked to pass
judgment upon the work done by the Gin
cinnati convention, are far from encour-
aging to the Peoples party politicians. 1t
Is known that twenty Five sub alliances have
repudlated the third party movement.
Fifteen of these have reported to the state
alliance and ten to the republican central
committee. The Cloud county alliance has
adopted the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, The south was not represented in
the Cincinnati convention; and
WHEREAS, We believe third party will dis
rupt the Republican party to the benefit of the
Democratic party; therefore be it
Resolved, That we abandon the third party to
return to our past affiliations
These resolutions, 1t is said, have a double
significance, because Cloud county is the
home of Senator Wheeler, the only alliance
member of the Senate, and has always been
considered Peoples party stronghold.
