Mr. PETER rs a ConversationaIist.

Supt. Barber happened to run across
Mr.. PETER on the train the other day,
and allured the guileless Senator into
some expressions of opinion. Discoy-
ering that Mr.. Barber was elected
county superintendent last fall, PETER
rashly inferred that he was Peoples
Party man and talked to him accord
ingly. Mr.. Barber asked about the
prospects in Ohio where Mr.. PETER
has been during the campaign. The
Senator replied that things weren't
going well in Ohio. EITHER we or
the Democrats would have been sure
of victory if Campbell had STAYED
straight on the silver question; but
since he straddled that, Mckinley is
going to be elected as sure as fate.
Nothing Oh earth can prevent it," A
Chanute Third Partyite came i'm after
while, and the talk turned upon the
judicial convention. Mr.. PETER ex-
pressed the opinion that RACER was =
fine fellow. The Chanute man agreed,
but 1.-THE man who is opposing him
is fine man too. The only thing on
earth that We can bring up against
Judge Stillwell is the third term mat
ter. And we will make big howl on
that" Mr.. Barber described Mr.. PEI
fer as tall, angular man, appar-
entity about % years of age, with a
'grannyishn air, and long chestnut
brown beard. He found him an en-

Handed In.

On the night of the 10Th of Septem-
Der, 1891, oil South Washington ave
nue. in the city of lola, in front of an
aristocratic residence, there came a
serenading party which was not look
ed for. Only one musical instrument
was in the company and it appeared
that only one tune could be played.
But during short intervals a heavy
bass voice would sound one whole note
which would overpower the instru-
ment, then the same tune again. At
ter period of two or three hours lis
tening one of the occupants of the res
idence concluded that sleep was inn
possible and decided to go out and ask
the company to disperse. She remov-
ed the company a block or more and
returned. hoping that the marshal
would assist her by placing it in the
pound 80 that the chime Of the bell
and the believing of the cows would
not be heard. If the marshal will
give the young lady permission think
the chime will be stopped, as the
company has been on the streets for the
last two weeks with the same instru-

In 1915 he moved to Springfield, Ill
inois and in 1880 to Kansas. For four

tywhere he was well known and high

DIED-Sept. IL, 1891, at the resi-
dence Of her mother Mrs. Worrick,
Hannah E., wife of +. NJ. Christy, af-
ter an illness of eleven weeks. She
was great sufferer, but all was done
for her that loving hands could do,
and being blessed with an abundance
of the forgiving and loving grace of
her blessed Savior, she bore all of her
suffering bravely, until at last the re-
lief came aud she sleeps in Jesus.
She leaves a husband and two chill

brief. About the middle of August

The days Of the pirates aud buccaneers

And the poet sang Alright, for In the constant
summer one might live forever in the shade of

trade winds and fed by the tropical fruits.
But sometimes that dread scourge, yellow fever,
sweeps the islands and naturally decreases
their population; but the danger from yellow
fever is not so great by any means as most
people suppose and many of the islands have
gone for years without a case of the kind.
Leprosy is prevalent among some of the
natives, but,as it generally comes from the dirt
and filth OF the lower classes, it is not par
ticularly dangerous, as 1t is not contagious
under any but the most extraordinary circunl-
stances. During the whole year and especially
during the hotter months from June to No
vember hurricanes are common, but thore are
so many land-locked harbors that navigation
during the whole year is comparatively safe.
As a winter resort these islands are superb, and
the chances for colonization are plentiful and
good.

GAME No. 70.
NOTES.


Showalter has passed Judd in the St. Louis
match and the score stands four to three and
three draws in the Kentucklan's favor. A
precedent has been established by Stenitz
deciding that touching a square does not COM
pei the piece to remain on the square touched.
Both Showalter and Judd appealed to him and
he decided as above.
The Steinitz-Tschigorin match for the cham
pionship OF the world begins tomorrow. The
odds in the New York and London clubs are
three to one on Sieinitz As MIR. Steinitz him
self says, these odds appear TO be too great
when Mr.. Tschigorin's splendid record is con-
sidered. Still it does not seem probable that
the Russians brilliancy will prevail against his
opponents depth and accuracy. The style of
the two contestants is Numerically opposed
and 1t will be interesting to observe how the
diverse lines of play adopted will succeed.
The tournament for the District champion
ship begins next Friday. The struggle will be
close, az several of the leading players are very
evenly matched.

Right Of New Street Railways to Use Existing
Tracks

Right of New Street Railways to Use Existing
Tracks
From the Electrical Engineer
The supreme court of California has disposed
OF the weil-known case of the Pacific Railway
Company ct al. against Judge Wade Of Los
Angeles, in an elaborate opinion. The public
interest was melted by an argument for a writ
OF prohibition against Judge Wade to prevent
him from assessing the amount of damages for
and granting the right of way over the street
cable road OF the petitioners to the Los Angeles
Consolidated Electric Railway Company. The
gist OF the decision 10 embodied in the follow
Ing: There can be no private property in q
street, except the fee of the owner, which is
held subject to tho easement as long as the
public continue to use the street as a highway
The maintenance Of horse railroads and run
ming OF cars upon public streets of the city of
Los Angeles for the carriage Of passengers is o
mere special mode of using the highway. nothing
more. The right to maintain such railroad
does not exclude the public from using the
street. The opinion therefore sustained the
action OF Judge Wade and held that the property
OF the petitioners is In custoda iegis aud there
fore the court can grant right Of way to any
person or corporation and assess damages and
compensation to be paid therefor, without citing
or consulting tho corporation, but simply upon
the application OF the receiver in possession of
its property. The writ of prohibition against
Judge Wade therefore was dismissed"

physician to a STAR reporter the other day.
Most patients do not consider it necessary to

One thing that has often struck me 10 the dis
regard which young folks generally have for
the old. don't mean that they are not oour-
teous to them. for courtesy to ones elders il a
matter of ordinary education; but when it
comes to really caring for them they are lack

"One is shocked to read Of the manner in
which savage tribes all over the world leave tie
old people to die neglected, even depriving
them OF shelter because they are no longer
useful. Even in civilized countries the same
thing is often done. Go to Savoy and you find
that the aged and intrm are put out to beg on
the public highways. 1t is commonly said that
the love of the child for the parent is much less
strong, even among the most enlightened peo-
pies. than the affection. of the parent for the
child There is a reason for this. which phil
osophers find in a natural law. The love of the
parent for the child is necessary to the perpet-
uation of the race, for which nature makes pro-
vision beyond all things else; but, on the other
hand, there is no such reason of necessity for
care taking on the part of the child in behalf OF
the parent.
80 am not surprised to find in my practice
ever so many instances where old people are
neglected by their children, who are apt to
regard them a burden, considering often
that they would be very much better out Of the
world any way. Another thing even more
remarkable that notice is that conjugal affec-
ton is very apt not to survive long illnesses.
