He Never Knew.

Death recent y removed from the ranks as
versatile and enterprising a news gatherer as
ever lived. He was stricken down with pneu-
monia, avs the New York World, aud after a
lingering illness on the deathbad the doctors
gave him up and told him he would have but a
few hours at most to live. He took the an
nouncement as coolly as though it might have
been an assignment to do" a swell wedding
for his paper, and, without the assistance of a

that he was sorry it was not more.

Raced VIII the sngine.

So many remarkable stories are told illustrat-
ing presence of mind, says the Youths Com
Ddnton that a story may be welcome which
tells of the opposite quality-not mere forget
tulnesS or heedlessneSS, which is dignifed with
the name of absent mindedness, but the faculty
OF being left, in some emergency, apparently
without any mind at ALL
At recent international fair or industrial
exhibition in Buffalo there was shown a new
sort OF engine which went around and around
on q circular track level with the ground.
AS the crowd stood hemming In the track,
gazing at the queer locomotive, a very stout
woman, who was eating peanuts from paper
bag, became frightened by rearing horse ne ar
by, and stepped upon the track, directly in
front of the moving engine. The engineer blew
his whistle, and this scared the woman so badly
that her discretion was really frightened
away.
With a scream she ran frantically along the
track in front of the approaching engine, still
cllnglnR to the bag of peanuts and swinging it
in the air so violently that it spung leak, scat
tering the peanuts in a thin trail behind her
She was stout, and the effort to run made by
her singular spectacle. but she was in terror
Of her llfe aud travelled around the track at a
goodly pace
The crowd became wildly excited
"Hoorayl hoorayr' men shouted. go it,
you'll git thar firstl''
stop your engine! you'll run over herl'
shouted an elderly gentleman, waving his
umbrella at the engineer as the machine went
past him.
mo danger-I can't catch her at the rate
she's going!" the engineer shouted back.
Women screamed, boys cheered and dogs
barked, and all the time the engineer kept
blowing his whistle. Meanwhile the stout
woman had made three wild trips entirely
around the track. Then, in her desperation
her absent mind came back and it occurred to
her TO step off the track. She did so, and the
engine went past.
AS she came off, red in the face and out OF
breath, she still grasped her paper bag firmly
But the peanuts were all gone.

esd's Tsctics in the senate.

Failing 70 get the force bill before the
Senate by fair means, the republican
senator's have resorted to the means which
Speaker Reed adopted TO pass it in the
House. The Vice President, as presiding
officer Of the Senate. has evidently received
his instructions. Yesterday he virtually
ignored the rights Of the minority. and
made rulings for which there was no
precedent in the history Of the Senate, or
authority.
The only excuse which the republicans
had to offer for the Vice Presidents IN
authorized and unjust rulings was that the
democrats we're trying to obstruct legisla-
ton. That is not a satisfactory excuse
for their policy OF force. The rules OF the
Senate give the minority certain rights, and
these rights should be respected. The
minority are justified in using every legiti-
mate me rs In their power to prevent legis-
ton which they believe would be harmful
to the country. And it cannot be said that
they have done anything which the rules do
not permit.
1t is not true that the minority are trying
to obstruc. all legislation. They are willing
that the pure food bill, the copyright bill,
or any other bill. except the force bill, shall
be taken up and regularly considered, but
they are obstructing the passage of the
force bill. They know that that bill is a
partisan measure, and that it would do the
south incslculable harm. They know that
the republicans do not regard it as just
measure. but as one that will help them n
retain control of the government They
feel justified, therefore, in opposing its pas
sage in every legitimate way they can.
1t was not thought that the Vice Presi-
dent would have 80 little respect for his
high office as TO violate the rules of the
Senate in order to assist in inhicting parti-
san legislation upon the country. Hereto
fore, as the presiding officer Of the Senate,
he has been so just and fair that it was
hoped that be would be able to rise above
the narrow partisan spirit by which the
force bill senators are dominated. Not
long ago Senator Voorhees, publicly compli-
mented him for his fairness as a presiding
officer. II the senator had waited awhile,
however, he would have had ample reasons
for changing his opinion of the Vice Presi-
dents fairness.
OF course a. brutal majority, with the aid
Of the presiding officer, can do what they
please, notwithstanding the protests of the
minority. If the rules for the protection of
the minority are not respected the minority
become powerless.
1t cannot Of course, be predicted with
certainty what the result of the struggle
over the force bill will be, but if the Vice
President follows the example set by
Speaker Reed it will be passed. The mi
nority may delay its passage little while,
but they cannot defeat it. The policy of
obstruction cannot be winning one with
presiding officer who forgets the dignity of
his office and becomes a willing tool of a
brutal majority.
The democrats will make a gallant fight.
And it is certain that the force bill will not
be passed until all their means of defeating
1t are exhausted.

Otero's nervous and cerebral excitement
that impelled her to slap the face Of her
cavalier at the French ball in New York
Tuesday night, caused no small sensa-
ton for a time. But there was scarcely
club man present who did not envy
the stricken artist even the slap she gave
him. Possibly that was because of the
similarity of sound between the slap
and the smack which all true cavaliers
delight in, when bestowed by fair women.
Passionate, hysterical Castilian Otero so
bitterly regretted her public display Of
emotion that she was Immediately deluged
in tears. Inhamed with the uncomfortable
fires Of youth ard red wine few Of US can
always be quite as rational as we would
desire.

Hill Outpenaraled

The statement that Gov. Hill. of New
York, did not want the senatorship, but was
forced TO take it by Mr.. Clevelandis friends,
appears to be quite generally accepted. He
wanted TO be reelected governor, so as to
retain control Of the party machinery of the
state. He was told, however, that if he did
not accept the senatorship quite a number
of the democrats would join with the re-
publicans and elect Smith M. Weed, or some
other democrat, who would not be in sym
patty with bim and his plans, and that the
responsibility for the election of a protec-
ton democrat would be placed upon him.
That condition of affairs, he understood,
would jeopardize his influence in the state
He therefore consented to accept the SEN
atorship.
He Is still a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination of his party, but his
chances for getting it are not as good as
they were. The suggestion has been made
that he could retain the goyernorship until
the meeting of the next congress In Decem-
Der, but even the New York Sun, which
has been pushing him to the front as pres
idential candidate, questions his right to do
that Indeed. the Sun does not seem to be
as enthusiastic in his behalf as it was before
his election 10 the Senate. The SUMS
changed tone, however, can hardly be due
to Gov Hills failure to use his influence to
have Mr.. Dana, the editor of the Sun,
elected senator.
If Gov. Hill could hold on to the govern
orship until next December he might be
able to retain his hold upon state politics.
II Lieut.. Gov. Jones becomes governor
however, 1t is not improbable that Gov.
Hills friends may be given a back seat.
The lieutenant governor is ambitious to be
elected governor at the next gubernatorial
election, and il he should get control of the
governors Office Immediately after March
4 he would very naturally use his position
to advance his own political fortunes.
1t is pretty clear that Gov. Hill has not
improved his presidential prospects by
accepting the senatorship, and it is probable
that Mr.. Cleveland's friends did not intend
he should. What they desired was to get
him out of Mr.. Cleveland's way, and there
is some reason for thinking that they have
succeeded.

Another Example OF Female tyranny.

Another Example Of Female Tyranny.
1t appears. says the New York Tribune, that
Mr.. aId Mrs. Brooks had q Misunderstanding
on the question as to which pair of mittens
their little boy. aged S, should wear when he
went out to play. Mr.. Brooks said that he
should wear his red ones Mrs. Brooks, with
aSgrayatlng feminine obstiuacy, insisted that
ne should wear bis blue ones Why a woman
should Invariably disagree with her husband we
do not know. Many women, more than ordi-
nArliy Intelligent in other ways, can never seem
70 recognize the superior wisdom of their hus-
bands. Dut we will not pause here for idle
speculation. Mr. Brooks insisted on the red
mittens; Mrs Brooks stubbornly stuck TO her
insane idea about the blue mittens.
The argument grew warm the woman per-
slstently refusing to admit her error It finally
eliminated by her openly defyinz him, telling
him that she only married him out of pity, and
putt ing the blue mittenS on the child and send
ing MIN out TO play. Mr.. Brooks manly spirit
could not endure this. With fOrcble expires
SION which, as it has no connection with the
Unread OF the story, We need not repeat, Mr..
Brooks annOuced that he should live no longer.
and rushed upstairs TO his bedroom. Here he
TOOK large bottle Of red ink part of which he
poured on the pillow ard the rest on his throat
and clothes. He then threw himself heavily on
tue bed and feigned death. Here the poor man
waited for half an hour, while Mrs Brooks hung
out OF the window talking with a neghbOr, and
giving her good advice in regard TO some
ounce Jelly which refused TO to siell " But at
last she closed the window and came upstairs
humming My Grandfather's Clock"
'Ah,' thought the poor ink-stained Brooks,
as he lay on his bed suffering, that frivolous
song will soon be chased from thy lips.
Wretched woman, when you see your poor hus
band here cold and dead then you will wish that
you had been more considerate about the NIT
tens He closed his eyes and held his breath.
Mrs Brooks entered the room and Jaw through
the whole thing at once MY gracious she
exclaimed, 'the big fool did kill himself after
all. Bridget" she called out downstairs, run
up and tell the coroner 70 come down and tend
to George" Br oks got up from the bed and
wired Of the ink on a corner of the sheet.
Now, we hold this t of the Halowell woman
to be the hight OF cruelty. She Inundated her
husband without cause. after he had gone to
all that trouble and wasted bottle of ink be-
cause he lSved her, she might have
pretended to think him dead for a. least few
minutes. She might have cried a little and
said: Poor fell owl what shall l ever do with
out him? He was right about those mittens!"
and the like. But no, she would no nothing Of
the kind; but with refined cruelty went on
making heartless remarks until she drove him
into getting up and hopping off the improvised
blood. And then the barbarian laughed at him.

Dressed beef magnates in Chicago are
greatly elated over the recent decision of
the United States supreme court annuling
the Virginia meat inspection law which re-
quired all meats slaughtered over 100 miles
from the place of sale to be inspected and
pay fee to the state inspectors. This the
court held to be discrimination against the
products of other states, and for that reason
unconstitutional. With this decision as a
basis and incentive the Armour packing
house Of Kansas City expects TO contest and
defeat the Georgia tax law if it is not as
soon repealed as Mr.. Armour now conf
IDENTIFY expects. Yet it does seem that every
state should be entitled under the constitu-
tion to regulate its own taxes in its own
way without outside interference.

wouldn't Gross a Bridge.

Senator Hearst, who owns Tournament, was
not present to see his great colt win the big
Realization stakes. says the New York Press,
although he started from the Windsor hotel,
where he had been staying. to do So He got in
a cab intending to drive to the Thirty fourth
street ferry. Through stupidity on the part of
cabby and forgetfulness on the part of ''Uncle
George" the cab ratified down town and was at
the Brooklyn bridge before the mistake
was noticed The senator could have
crossed the bridge, and gone by
way of the Long Island road, but
he smiled sadly and ordered the caboy to drive
him back. Less than a week afterward he
admitted to party of senator's who asked him
why he had not been present. aud who knew
that he was not Ill, as had been given out, that
superstition was at the bottom Of it.
1T would be bad enough to cross the bridge -
he said, but you don't catch me crossing a
bridge in q rain storm to go to any horse race

in me to make me shade superstitious. You
may laugh. but felt that If had gone down
that day would have hoodooed my colt, and

o, sad will be the buttercups
And balsaJils white and pied.
And sad will be the wood and plain
When the birds will all have died.
The comedy roses purple cheeks
With grieving will grow pale,
So sad will be the summer night
Without the nightingale.
No swallow building meath the caves,
No robin in the tree,
No cuckoo. thrush, or oriole,
Or painted colibrl--
No halcyon brooding Ger the wave,
No white dove on the wing,
Nor red fiamingoes strutting through
The gardens of the king.
The dawn will come as still as death,
With meier a single lark,
And, toylesS as one str cken dumb,
The day will turn to dark.
And we shall clasp our hands and cry:

For one sweet throated bird to sing
Even a foolish song"

the sensational charges of prevalent immor-

were greatly exaggerated. Still, some
gambling houses and other disreputable

the capital of South Carolina. Bringing
about such reform, however, is no ade-

Kansas City's great bank failure isn't so
bad after all. Despite the scarcity of avail
able funds the institution appears to have
ample resources to meet all of its obligations
if allowed sufficient time to realize on them.
With any sort of a living chance it would
probably pull itself together in proper shape
to resume business. Lack of general conf
dence in finance seems to be the principal
cause that precipitated the failure.
