HER BABY's GRAVE.

The keeper of a cemetery In one
OF the eastern states wasat work
in the cemetery not long ago,
when q poorly dressed and feeble
looking gray-halred women en-
tered the gate and said that she
wanted to make arrangements
setting up a small tombstone.
"Where is thegrave," asked the
sexton. %
81 can't tell you just where it
is," answered the woman, "but I
can go to it. -
Sheled the way to a remote
corner where there were but q
few graves, and there, close to q
pine tree, and almost hidden un-
der it's low-growing branches was
a little, sunken, neglected grave.
"This.is it sir, this is it, said
the woman dropping on her knees
upon the grave, with streaming
eyes.
"1t's the grave of my little boy
sir; the only child I ever had. I
buried him here nineteen years a.
go. He was only four months
and three days old, but he was a
dear little fellow sir, and it al
most killed me to give him up"
Wiping her eyes on the corner
of her shawl, she added:
IL have never been here since
the day we buried him, but l
knew l could come right to the
spot. I've seen it in my mind ev-
cry day for nineteen years. We
lived close to the,grave-y yard, and
in the evening of the day we bur-
led him l slipped over here AM set
out this pine at the head of his
grave, for I'd no money to buy q
stone.
"We moved out west soon af-
terwards, and we've been kept
poor all the time, but I've saved,
little by little, all these years, and
now | want to have hisgrave fix.
ed up and a little stone put to it
the dear little fellow!"
She laid her wet cheeks down on
the rank and tangled grass, and
tenderly stroked the sunken clay,
and the sexton quietly withdrew,
leaving her alone with her dead.

Mr.. McMillin has been trav-

Representative Edmunds,

Saturday to commit himself
to Crisp for Speaker.
The oldest freak in the

to the effect that Mr.. Harri-
son had something some

not think that the bench
ought to be constructed on
a pronounced political basis,
and that he proposed ap-
pointing three or four demo.

When Secretary Proctor

not be surprised to see two

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Secretary Fosters recent
alleged free and frank discus
sion of the condition of the
Treasury of the United States
is the fOrerunner of some re-
publican Juggling with the
figures purporting to repre-
sent the condition of the
Treasury that viii probably
take place rs soon az Mr..
Harrison returns to Wash
ington, that is. in the next
tatement Of the public debt,
which will be made public
June 1. Mr.. Foster proposes
to change the form of that
statement, for the evident
purpose of showing n ficti-
tious amount of cash availa-
BILE. 1t will not be the, first
time by many that the con-
dition of the Treasury de.
partment has been falsifed

will recall the Congressional
investigation which brought

The Treasury ledgers showed

by the efforts to make the
books accord with the falsl-
fed statements prepared to
mystify the public. | should
not wonder if the House of
the Fifty-second Congress
did not do a little investign-
ting If Mr.. Fosters figures.
The Treasury department
offers to send all the small
silver that the banks in any
section of the country will
take, free of carriage which,
Iif the banks take any consid-
erable quantity. vii! be a
mighty fat thing for the Uni

of which ex-senator ("me
too") Tom. Platt. of New
York, is the controlling spir-
it. Perhaps Mr. Foster did
not think OF benefting the
New York republican boss
when he hatched up this
scheme. and then again per-
haps he did. This mixing OF
business and politics is a
striking trait Of the republi-
can party.
This same thing, mixing
business and politics, has
brought about a disagree
ment between Secretaries
Blaine and Foster. Mr.. Blaine
doesn't want the catching OF
seals stopped for a year, be-
cause d number Of his per-
sonal friends, in clnd n 2
"Steve" Elkins, have invest
ed their money in the North
American Fur company,
which is the present owner Of
the sealing privileges in Behr

believes the seals are about
to be exterminated, would
like to have it it stopped. In
the meantime the British
Minister is insisting that Mr..

The New Philadelphia. ;,

The New Philadelphia is the title of q
deeply interesting article which will appear
in the May Cosmopolitan, and is from the
pen of Mr.. Henry &. Walsh. To those who
are not entirely familiar with ''the city Of
Brotherly Love- to-day, and who taking the
joke-maker at his word entertain the errone-
is at best but sleepy and unenterprising
town, the Cosmopolitan article will prove a
veritable revelation. The great change that
Gus idea that the third largest city in the UA
ion has been wrought during the past decade
in the external appearance of Philadelphia is
ably set forth, and greatly augmented by the
SPECIAL illustrations drawn by Mr.. Harry
Fem. A glance ct these notable drawings
shows that in beauty of architecture, the
solidity and moderness of construction and
design in her homes, clubs and commercial
buildings, Philadelphia stands at the very
head of fiourishing American cities. The
business, social and intellectual advance
ment Of this, perhaps the most habitable Of
cities Is no less marked than is its mere out
ward progression. Doubtless too much at
tention has been paid to other more ostenta-
tiously progressive cities-especially of the
West-to the exclusion of the Quaker City
and its marvellous growth. The article in
the May Cosmopolitan, however, places Phila-
deIphia before the public in its true light as
one of the best governed, most enterprising
and socially, commercially and politically
progressive cities of the United States.
