scarcely day without some con-
tribution. This report does not
include the yield from the nurses
engagements outside, which must
reach nearly two hundred dollars.
Stanhope Totten, the lad who has
been i'll all winter, is better now,
and so grateful that he sent one
round silver dollar as his offering.
This is not the first gift from the
children of Mr.. A. /. Totten, and
this dollar was a donation to the
boy while so extremely ill. He
has put it to a noble use.
THE HOME OF THE FRIENDLEss
was coy and peaceful in the wan
ing daylight when I called. The
bell, which always rings with a
peal, broughtFlip to the door, now
grown to be much more than an
armful, or lapful, and he vas
wild with frolic. He seemed too,
to monopolize Aunt Amy, and [
found out why he was SO happy
when she said in sorrowful tones
that Dick was dead. Yes-Dick
the saucy, the wise, the tyrant of
the kitchen, Aunt Amy's playmate,
is dead. He got to be too imperti-
nent for his own good. One day
he pecked at an unfriendly heel,
which lost no time in kicking him
on his little feathered stomach. He
fell down in a fit and rolled over
and over, she said; but afterwards
he "peerted up" Then he got
fastened up in the coal cellar for
some hours. Aunt Amy missed
him and began search Peering
into the darkness she said, "Dick,
Dick" 'sClear out Clear out ~
he screamed irritablv; SO she let him
be for a while. When next she
went he lay, toes up, and made no
sign. Whether Flip got the best
of him in a fight, for they were
always at it, or whether the kick
aforesaid gave a mortal hurt will
never be known. Matron Mary
buried him, and poor, widowed
Biddy refused outright to hatch
her eggs. "She won't lay, either"
explained Aunt Amy seriously,
"unless I put her on the nest and
tell her she must" But Flip has
it all his.own way now and insisted
on treating me as his best friend.

BOYD Is AN ALIEN.
Nebraska's Governor Ousted by
the Supreme Court.
THAYBR DECLARED THE EXECUTIVE

The Ground OF the Decision Being That
Boyd Is Not a Citizen of the United
States-A Graceful Submission, But n
Probable Appcal-More G ossip About
Blaine's Presidential Aspirations-De-
NAL of tho Assertions That He Would
Not Accept the Nomination.
LINCOLN, Neb, May 6.-The supreme
court of the state yesterday rendered de-
cision in the Boyd-Thayer quo warranto
case, ousting Boyd and declaring Thayer
the legal governor of Nebraska. The
opinion recites the fact that Boyd was
legally elected governor of the state, but
delares him disqualified on the ground
Of non-citizenship.
Lieut.. Gov. Majors Not "In It."
After quoting the constitution relating
to aliens, it proceeds to the question of
the successorship, and disposes of the
claims OF Lieutenant Governor Majors
by stating that when the person receiving
the highest number of votes for the Office
of governor is ineligible, under the consti-
tuition, to be elected, the governor holds
over.
Boyd Ready to Submit at Once.
The duties of the chief executive Office
of the state devolve upon the lieutenant
in certain contingencies, among which
are the failure of the governor-elect to
qualify, or the disability of the governor.
1t cannot be said that there has been a
failure to qualify where no person has
been constitutionaily elected to the Office.
The writ of custer was served on Gov
ernor Boyd at . O'Clock. He received it
calmly and said: II am ready to turn
over the Office now"
Too Late to File the Motion.
His attorney, John d. Howe, of Omaha,
who had just arrived, requested him to
wait moment, and Immediately went to
the supreme court to file motion
for stay, but as the judgment had al
ready been entered and the writ served, it
was too late, The opinion was signed by
Chief Justice Cobb and Justice Norville,
Justice Maxwell dissenting 1t is stated
that Mr.. Boyd viii carry the case to the
supreme court of the United States. The
decision on the whole may be said to be a
surprise, the opinion being that in the
event of the ousiing of Boyd Lieutenant
Governor Majors would be named as his
successor.
The Way Judge Maxwell Views It,
Judge Maxwell in his dissenting opinion
contends that the fact that Boyd was a
resident of the territory at the time of its
admission into the union as a state con.
ferred upon him the rights and privileges
of citizenship.
