WILLIAM HENRY SMITH.
Death OF the Conservative Leader
the House OF Commons.

the House OF Commons.
LONDON, Oct. 6.-The death of Mr.. Will
liam Henry Smith, who was universally
popular, has caused the most profound
regret in conservative and other circles.
He was one of the representative business
men of England and is popularity reputed
to have left fortune of $40, 000, 900. Mr..
Smith made favorable progress towards
recovery until yesterday, when he became
worse and suffered great deal of pain
owing to recurrence of govt. Towards
evening, however, he recovered and his
condition was so favorable that his attend
ing physician left Walmer castle, where
Mr.. Smith had been seeking to regain ais
health, and returned to London. This
Mr.. Smiths condition became
critical and he died at D. m.

in the Irish sea last night, and it is be-

lifeboat crews worked heroically, and
their efforts to save the lives of the ship
wrecked crews were crowned with success.
Numbers of people gathered on the shores
in the vicinity of the wreck, and there
was much excitement as the ife-savers

From Mexico.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 6.-The Mexi-
can consul here states that the published
report of the massacre of two hundred
white colonists in the state of Hidalgo,
Mexico, is unfounded or it has been greatly
exaggerated. The state is one of the most
peaceful and prosperous in Mexico, and
besides, he says, it is hardly possible that
any such massacre could have occurred
there and not have been public, as the
state is near the center of the national
government and it certainly would have
been known in the capital.

A Memory of Grant.

at was along in 1851, said Mr.. Will
Clark, of Edmund Place, that was liv-
ing in Dubuque, Ia, engaged in the sew
ing machine business. l wanted some-
one to represent us in Galena, and was
directed to the firm of Grant and Perkins
and went over to see them. The father
of the general was the head of the firm
and Orville and U. s. Grant were clerk
ing for him. stated my business and
they were willing to try it. U. S. was
sitting by the stove. He wore a rough
suit and SLOUGH hat. was introduced
to him by Orville, and he said he thought
they could sell some heavy machines for
leather work. thought him more in
teresting in conversation than the others.
He had seen something of the world then
and was out of his place. At the close
of the war his friends furnished house
for him in Galena and gave it to him. I
was very glad to contribute one of our
best machines. l never lost my first i'm
preston of the simple honesty of the
mans character. After events justified
me when, in his old age, he went in the
night to give up his property, victim to
the duplicity of those who had betrayed
him"

Buttons Out Of Potatoes.

Great quantities of buttons are now
made from potatoes. 1t is not generally
known that if the substance Of the COM
mon Irish potato be treated with certain
acids it becomes almost as hard as stone
and can be used for many purposes for
which horn, ivory, and bone are em-
ployed. This quality of the potato
adapts it to button making, and very
good grade of button is now made from
the well known tuber. The potato
button can not be distinguished from
others save by careful examination.
and even then only by an expert, since
they are colored to suit the goods on
which they are to be used. and arc
every whit as good looking as button
of bone or ivory. Their cheapness is a
great recommendation, and will no
doubt lead to a much larger employ
ment in the future. Louis Inter-

People who imac ne that his imperial
majesty passes all is time in christening

ness of Prince Bi narck, and quarreling
with Count Won Waldersee are very much
mistaken. He likes his fun also and
takes it, There is a certain music hall in

On another occasion the emperor is said
to have passed many hours of the night
wandering among the saloons used by
sailors and common soldiers. arguing and
inviting criticism on the life of private
in his army or an A. B. seaman in his
navy. All these things doubtless assist
the young sovereign in his endeavors to
act as the father of his people; but oc-
casionally the fact that he is a young man
bursts upon him, and he is apt to join in
vigorous dancing and play high jinks
generally as enthusiastically as the latest
Jack ashore. Then. in the middle of a
can-can or schoppen. comes the memory,
Itch bin der Kaiser, and his temporary
boon companions are surprised to see
their new comrade suddenly draw him
self up, turn on his heel and leave the
place, followed by couple of, till that
moment, supposed to be drunken chums.

Clumsy Fingers.

at is of no use my trying to sew, said
a girl in her late teens; II am so clumsy
with needle. My stitches are an inch
long! Mamma does my mending. She
says when do it myself my things look
so that she is ashamed to let me wear
them"
But if the mother were less self sacri-
fcing it is probaI lie that few hours
practice under her direction would easily
reduce those clumsy stitches to respect
ably small fraction of an inch in length.
Another young lady admitted the other
day, with laugh, that she always darned
her stockings by drawing the edges of the
holes together with the thread, because
weaving it in and out as her mother did
took SO much more time and care.
Girls of this sort belong to the I'M
trained or lazy class. But the careless are
quite as common, and perhaps more ex-
asperating.
"Oh, I'm very sorry; but you know
always was butter fingers explains
calmly the dreamy young person who
spills gravy in lady's lap at dinner, be-
cause she is passing the gravy boat with
her mind on the last chapter of story,
and does not notice that she is tipping it.
Presently she helps to butter, with the
same vague expression in her eyes, and
sends the bit, which she attempts to cut
from the hard pat without looking at it,
flying across the table.
did it spot your dress?" she asks her
sister; II hope not but of course could
not help it's flying off. I'm very sorry.
But the trouble is precisely that she is not
very sorry at least, not sorry enough to
prevent the same thing from happening
again.
1t is worth while to remember that
there is such thing as being stupid with
ones fingers. There should be direct
communication between the hand and
the brain; but some people, with other
wise excellent brains, do not seem to real
ize this fact, and allow their hands a
kind of helpless liberty, which works dis
aster among bric-a-brac, and makes many
simple tasks absurdly formidable.
