FRIDAY. MAY 8. 1891.
COMPANY Is COMING.

COMPANY Is COMING.
BEND your knees at worry's shrine
In intense devotion;
Set the b use from cellar to
Attic, IN commotion.
Cram the ergise, get mp steam,
Sci the wheels a.humminp,
flake them whirl. and whir and whiz,
Company is coming"
Raise dust in every room.
Set the atoms flying;
Scoid the children, rout the cat
In the corner ly ing.
Rap those restles baby hands
On the window drumming,
Every window must be cIean,
Company is Ginning"
Leave no object in the house
In condition normal,
Make the very cradle look
Prim, and stiff, and formal.
At the oven scorch your face,
Have the stow just booming"
"Fix up" something ''good to eat;"
,mpany Is coming"
Cram the engine, keep up steam,
Keep the wheels a-hummn1;
Scrub and sc )ur, and bake, and stew /;
Company is coming"
Labor till nervous" pulse
In your head is drumming,
Till you ache from head tofoot;
Company is coming"
When your guests arrive. it will
Make the pleasure double
To perceive you've put 20 urself
To world Of trouble.
Then. although you feel you've done
More than you we're able,
Fail not to apologize
For your house AMI table.
This is hospitality
That the wheels be humming,
Rest and comfort banished, when
Company is coming"

CHARLES REFERENCES.
A STORY FOR BOYS.

We'll. / will just take a try for
this place, mother said Charlie,
looking up from the paper be held In
his hand. They want strong, will.
ing boy, who can bring efereDce from
his last place. l can't do that, since
| have never worked anywhere be-
fore, but perhaps they will be willing
to give me trial if they do not have
any boy apply With just the reference
they want. Nothing venture nothing
have, you know. B. will zee what /
can do
After he had brought up the coal
and filled the wood box and water
pail, little services that his mother
never had to remind hin Of, Charlie
started to answer the advertisement.
He was afraid If he took the Time
to walk into town he might be too
late TO have any chance Of getting
the place. so he resolved TO invest
FIVE cents in car.fare.
| IL was cold, raw morning, aud
the only other person in the car was
an old gentleman, we'll wrapped up
in heavy great coat.
His cane was standing beside him.
and as Charlie entered the car, be
struck it with his foot, and it fell
down,
Il beg your pardon, sir,' said Char.
lie, picking ii mp and restoring it TO
its owner.
Presently an old woman, loaded
with heavy basket as vel! as a bun
die, signaled the car, and the driver
wai;sd for her to come some little
distance, as at that hour In tie morn.
ing the cars did not run very FREE
quently. Charlie looked out of the
window and saw her coming.
I'll give you a hand with your
basket, ma'am,/ be exclaimed, jump.
ing of the car, and picking up the
basket which was not a very heavy
burden in his strong arms, be carried
IS into the car and deposited II beside
the old woman who seemed ye:y
grateful for the assistance.
CHARLEY put her fare in the box
and exchanged a few pleasant SEN
fences witt her, and told her where
a certain street was that she was go
ing to end. II was Charles habit
to make himself a. helpful as posi-.
Die, and he was as interested ia try.
Ing TO explain TO the old woman just
where sbe must turn, as II he ex
pec'ed 10 be rewarded in some way
for his Information,
A little later another boy got 10
the car. lie was much better dfess.
ed than Charlie, ADD be might have
been q very prepossessing boy, If it
had not been for rather unpleasant
expression on his face.
He LETT the car door open behind
bin, and The old gentleman coughed
as 1be cold air struck bin.
Will you be kind enough 10 close
! that door 2 be said TO The boy who
had left it open.
The boy looked at him with a rude
stare.
Guess yon are able 10 shut IL you're
self, IL you don't like II open, was
the rude answer.
Charlie had noticed that the Old
I gentleman was evidently lame, and
as be cav that he was about 10 rise

THE GRIEVANCE OF CHINA.
Secretary Blaine Says the Matter is En-.
tirelS a Diplomatic Affair.


tirelS n Diplomatic Affair.
WASHINGTON, April 3d. Secretary of
State Blaine declines to talk about Minis
ter Blair being unacceptable to the Chi
nese government further than to say that
the matter was diplomatic affair, and
that he did not care to say anything
about it for publication, or to notice and
reply to newspaper speculations about it.
Minister Yen at the Chinese Legation
would only say through an interpreter
that he had received dispatch from his
home government expressing the unwill-
ingness of the Emperor to receive Mr..
Blair, which he was instructed to lay
before Secretary Blaine without delay.
This, he said, was the only instruction he
had received on the subject, but he de-
clined to furnish copy of the dispatch
or to state the reasons given for this ac-
ton.
The published report that Mr.. Blairs's
commission had been made out with his
location abroadnleft blank, so that if ahe
was not acceptable to China he could be
sent to Japan, is regarded as absurd every
where in diplomatic circles.

THE NATIONS CASH.
Secretary Foster Says the Government c.

Use the Gold Reserve.
WASHINGTON, April 30-Secretary Fos-
ter, speaking on the financial condition
of the Treasury, said that some of the
$3.50, 000, 900 of available cash mentio ned
by Director Leech, 'might be regarded as
trust funds-might be, say. 1t would
be correct to say that about seventy mil
lions are unquestionably available cash
that is about twenty-eight millions in the
banks, twenty-one millions of subsidiary
coin, four millions in trade-dollar bull
lion, twenty millions of current cash and
five millions in silver against which no
certificates have been issued.
Gas to the 500, 000,090 of gold reserve,
it is held against the $3.50, ZOO, 900 green
backs to make the credit of the govern
ment impregnable, for no one would be
able to get together enough greenbacks
to take all the gold out of the Treasury,
and therefore they do not take any. But
these notes outstanding are legal tender,
and the government could aud would use
this gold reserve if it needed to on a
pinch. 1t should, therefore, appear on
the debt statement as available cash."

"oLD HUTCH" MISSING.
The Great SpeculatOr's Disappearance
Disturbs the Chicago Market.

The Great Spectators Disappearance
Disturbs the Chicago Market.
CHICAGO, April 30.-B. P. Hutchin-
son, the veteran wheat speculator, known
the country over as "Old HUTCH" has
been missing since Tuesday evening, at
which time he bid friend goodbye and
said he would never be seen again. He
has many heavy open trades, and the
many rumors circulated in regard to his
disappearance have greatly disturbed the
market.
His son, Charles L. Hutchinson, presi-
dent of the Corn Exchange Bank and
ex-president of the Board of Trade, says
that his father has been mentally UNI
sound for two years. A few months ago
it was reported that Mr.. Hutchinson's
fortune had been almost entirely dissi-
pated in speculation. At that time a
number of MIR. Hutchinson's friends and
his son tried to induce the old man to
give up speculation and lead quiet life,
but their efforts met with no success.
