Her Horse Took a Bath.

A well known young lady of this city recently
met with an accident which has occasioned her
much annoyance by reason Of the good natur ed
rallying OF her friends, says the st. Paul
Pioneer Press.
1t would hardly be fair to mention the lady's
name, but her acquRintances viii readily recog-
winning ways, and her many accomplishments
among the later being that of horseback riding
in which she is an expert.
She never lacks escorts in her rides about the
country, and few days since she and gentle
man also we'll known in this city rode ont to one
OF the lakes beyond the northern boundary of
the city.
suggested that it would be a good plan to allow
the horses TO drink; acting on the suggestion
they rode into the water until it nearly reached
the stirrupS of their saddles. It was a warm
day, they had been riding fast and the cooling
water was very grateful to the beasts The
horse which the youngslady was riding, after
enjoying the situation for some minutes, seemed
to reason that if to have his legs submerged
was so pleasurable il would be much more SO to
put his whole anatomy under water.
Acting on this idea he proceeded to lie down.
entirely regardless of his fair burden. There
were feminine scream a splash, a masculine
ejaculation, another splash, and then the gen
tleman was WadinR to the shore carrying the
dripping form of his companion in his arms
Several spectators who had arrived on the scene
say that 1t that it took the gentleman an I'M
usually long time to reach terra firma, but he
finally succeeded In landing his burden.
Now the young lady declares she will never.
never ride into the water again. but she prob
ably does not mean it, while the young man acts
as though he would give weeks salary to have
the accident occur again.

Thack sray's Toast,

A very pretty incident is recorded of Thack-
cray during his American tour. While in Bos-
ton he spent much of his time as a guest in the
family of George Ticknor, and it was there the
incident occurred. says she Yonkers States
man.
On New Years eve he and Ticknor sat smok-
ing together in the library. The latter's wife
was also present The daughters of the house
haG gone to a party. They sat talking till II
O'Clock, when Thackeray arose and said he
would go to his ROOM
You are not going to retire YETI" inquired
his host,
No" was the answer; 'for always at the
birth of new year | drink to the health and
happiness of my daughters, but do not wish to
to keep you SO Late
Pray, stay with US and we will join you in a
health to your absent ones"
Thackeray replied that he would be- delighted
to do so if it would not trespass on their hours of
rest. He sat at the side of the great fireplacs
and looked two or three times at the clock
upon the mantel to note the flight of the min
uteS.
DO not trouble yourself about the time, ~
said Mrs. Ticknor. II will let you know when it
is 10 o'clock"
At the moment the new year began Thackeray
took in his hand glass Of sherry, rose to his
feet, and said In tremulous tones:

them and all who are good to themm
Drinking the wine, he babe his host good

Colonies of Jews.

Something practical is being done in this
country to aid the Jews who are being
driven out of Russia by persecution. Soci-
cites are being formed to colonize them and
to extend aid to them until their material
condition is such that they can take care of
themselves. One of these societies was
formed in Philadelphia last Sunday. The
sentiment which prevailed among those
present was that as many as possible of the
Jewish emigrants from Russia should be
sent to California, where the conditions are
favorable for colonists
These Russian Jews make good citizens.
They are sober. Industrious and very
thrifty. These Is q colony of 200 families of
them near Vineland, N. j. In the nine
years OF their residence there not one of
them has ever been charged with the VIOLA
ton Of any law. A record like that is
greatly TO the credit Of the Jews who are
coming here from Russia.
And it is probable that a great many Of
these immigrants win reach cur
shores within the next few
yesrs Those who are already here
will induce others to come. Finding that
there are arrangements for taking care of
them until they can take care of themselves
thousands will improve the opportunity
for making homes in this coun-
try rather than remain In Russia and SUBJ
NIT to the prosecutions they have to endure
there. 1t is probable that there will be large
settlements of them not only in Texas and
California. but in number of other states,
before the end of this century.

The speakership Contest.

The candidates for speaker of the next
congress are doing a good deal Of work.
Congress will adjolrn in a very few days,
and it may not be. possible for them
to see the holding over members. after
the adjournment, before next December
The have, therefore, few idle hours.
The recognized candidates are Crisp, of
Georgia; Mills, of Texas; McMillin, of
Tennessee; Springer, of Illinois; Hatch, of
Missouri; Rynum, of Indiana, aud Blount
Of Georgia. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and Wilson, of West Virginia, may become
candidates in certain contingencies.
There is no doubt that Crisp is the choice
of the democrats who are members of the
present House. He is the superior of all
the other candidates as a presiiing officer,
and he has record as a cool, clear headed
man in emergencies of which any man
might reasonably be proud.
There are two things which may defeat
Crisp. One is that he Is a southern man.
1t will be said that as a majority of the
chairmen of the committees will necessarily
have to be southern men, the speaker ought
to be a northern man. Otherwise iu will be
said that the south has control of the House.
The other is that the majority of the dem
ocrats in the next House will be new men,
who know very little of Crisp from personal
observation. They may be Influenced by
other things than the qualifications man
may possess for speaker. However, as the
situation is at present, Crisp's chance is the
best
OF course Mills is going to make great
fight for the honor. He has been promi-
nent a long time in the House, and was the
leader of the democratic majority In the
last congress. But it is doubtful if he would
make a good speaker. He is lacking in
judgment, and does not always have COM
mand of his temper.
All the candidates are men of exceptional
ability, and have rendered their party con-
spicuous services. From the standpoint Of
services rendered there are those more de-
serving of the speakership than Crisp. but
none equal him from the standpoint Of
fitness.

worked on Hs Favorite Anecdote

Worked Off His Favorite Anecdote.
The first thought of almost every one on
hearing good story is to find some one else to
whom it can be told. Some people make few
stories stand them in good stead for long
time. and tale is told of a Vermont man who
had but one story, and who told that on every
occasion, says Youths Companion.
1t was an excellent story, without doubt-the
story OF gun which hal once belonged to a
friend OF his, and he told it well, though per-
haps 1t might have been improved by a little
condensation. But his anxiety to bring for
ward this tale never abated. One new listener
in group of people was quite enough to en-
courage him to give his gun" story in all its
details.

In vain the gun man tried to bring the talk
round to his favorite weapon, and as time went
on his expression became gloomy in the ex-
treme. AS the guests rose from the table at
the floor as he approached the distinguished
guest, and then said:

speaking of guns, reminds me'-and linking
his arm in that of the visitor, he bore him tri-
umphantly from the room to the music of his
cherished anecdote.

A Shell Road to the Isle of Hone.


The grand jury, in its report which was
published. Thursday, recommends the
construction of new road to the Isle of
Hope. There should be such road, and it
should be she'll road
There are no good roads leading out of
the city except those upon which tolls are
charged, and, although the tolls are burden
some, the shells placed upon them have to
be crushed by those who use the roads The
so-called Skidaway she'll road, which is
built no further than Thunderbolt, is tax
upon owners of property living in that
part of the county through which it passes.
Fully rs per cent. Of its stock is owned by
persons who do not live in Savannah.
An air line road through the county's land
from this city to the Isle of Hope would
greatly increase the value of the land through
which it would pass aud open a fine coun-
try for farming. And. in addition to this,
If it were shelled, it would facilitate the
bringing of farm products to this city. The
competition that would follow would lessen
the cost of living. Such road, also,
would be fine, free drive-something that
is very much needed by the people of this
city.
The county commissioners have had the
question of constructing road of this kind
under consideration for some time. and now
that the grand jury has advised that the
work be done there is no reason why the
commissioners should hesitate any longer
to begin the work. The road would be in
the line of progress and Improvement, and
the people will approve that which is step
forward and in the right direction.

Curtailing the Presentations at Court
Amer. cans whose sensitiveness is only
equeled by their soaring ambition have
lately felt somewhat crushed aud generally
il-used by the recently promulgated order
Of the queen that no lady who has the en-
tree to receptions at Buckingham palace
shall hereafter venture 70 present more than
one person in the course OF year except
the members OF her own family. and any
person so introduced must be upon the
sponsors regular visiting list.
This is not so much thrust at Americans
OF FESTIVE social ambition as It is intended
TO correct a developing abuse Of native
growth. For several years certain class
Of impecunious titled personages have been
making a practice Of trading upon their
social station, and picking up quite q supply
of odd change by introducing gross porky

Of similar ostentatious pretentions, among
the flower Of England's aristocrecy, until
the queen came to notes the ind ustry they
evinced In driving their little trade, and de-
cided TO put stop to it. Such people ap-
pear TO regard that sort of a presentation
as somewhat in the nature of a show TO
which they were thus paying an admission
fee, and, in view of the way they had gained
access to it, such an assumption was not
wholly without justification. Nevertheless
it constituted an intolerable annoyance to
those who were not pecuniarily concerned
in the transactions. Hence the order dis
seminated by the court chamberlain under
instructions.
Hencsforth the path of the progressive
AnGlomaniac will probably be somewhat
horny and overcast with thick lowering
gloom. They can no longer cross the blue
veined palm of some degenerate daughter of
nobility and receive the magical open sesame
of my lady's potent influence. Still it will
render the position Of those already within
the charmed circle more exclusive and de-
sirable by greatly reducing the constantly
increasing strain of new presentations at
court. At the same time such trife as
that is not at all likely to perceptibly lower
the average of returned globe trotters who
will effusively boast Of "when l was pre-
sented at court"
