wORLD,S FAIR WOES.

The managers of the worlds fair have
other troubles than the difficulty of getting
money. For. instance, q resolution has
been introduced in the Colorado legislature
threatening dire things against the fair and
against Chicago because "seventy-nine
members of the Chicago board of trade
have petitioned the Congress of the United
States not to pass the bill known as the
Free Coinage act" In consequence thereof
Colorado, if the resolution is passed, will
not only refuse to have part or lot in the
Columbia exposition, but her citizens will
undertake to divert their trade from Chi
cago. The author of this resolution is Mr..
Popping. But the boycott which Mr.. Fop-
ping hopes to start is not as troublesome
as the boycott which is threatened in Chi
cago. 1t is claimed by the union labor
men of Chicago that when their organiza-
tions were solicited to subscribe for stock
in the fair, they were given to understand
that union workmen would be employed
exclusively or perferentially on the build
ings and other work of preparation. In
stead, 'rat" labor has been taken, and
some imported Italians are now employed
at jackson Park. The city is being filed
up with unemployed ''scabs" from all over
the country, according to the accounts,
and there is much suffering and trouble in
prospect. A formal demand will be made
upon the fair managers that preference be
given union and home labor, and if it is
refused, the trade organizations threaten
to withdraw their subscriptions, invite the
cooperation of organized labor everywhere
in discouraging attendance at the exposi
ton, and aid in tanning the fame of dis
content among the thousands of unem-
ployed now going to the city in search OF
work.
And so forth and so on. The managers
will have to be firm and skillful to over
coma the trouh1es that besat them

The parochial school question is per-
haps more pressing in Massachusetts, than
in any other State. The latest phase of it
is statement by Mr.. George A. Walton,
the agent of the State board, who has been
instructed to visit the parochial schools in
his official capacity. His statement is that
the priests are very frank in acknowledge
ing the benefits of the public schools to
their children, and say that they are good
as far as they go. They do not, SO far as
he has had intercourse with them, charge
the public school with immoralties in any
direction or degree, as is sometimes done
by the Catholic clergy. They even admit
that they appreciate the public schools
very highly. But their defence is that
they teach in their parochial schools all
that is taught in the public schools,
and add to that the teaching of Christiani-
ty. 1t is the experience of Mr.. Walton
that he has never been able to secure ad-
mittance into a parochial school in his Off
cial capacity. If he came as private cit
izen and wished to see for his own inform
atlon the working of the parochials, they
were willing to admit him, but when he
placed the ground of his visit on his
| standing a State official they refused.
He consulted the Bishop, who said that he
| had no objection to his official visitation,
| and gave him a letter to that effect, which
he was to show to the priest, with the re-
mark that they would do as they pleased
in spite of any letter from him. And
they have, for with that letter Mr.. Walton
was no better able than before to secure
official admission into single parochia
school.
This is interesting. Perhaps that b!

Joe guided the bronco gently toward the
gate. At first the animal swerved from it
peryersely, but once through a new life
seemed to rush into his limbs and he be-
gan to prance and chafs at the bit. Once
again Joe drew himself together, a spasm
of pain passing over his face as he
Strengthened his back; then he loosened
the bride and lightly iicked the bronco
on the flank. The pony shook himself
and bounded forward; he did not try to
lower his head and buck. Another touch
of the quirt and word of encourage
ment. He reared, gave one last caper and
then swept into long stretching gallop.
The cowboys gave a loud cheer; Joe waved
his hand as he sped away, and in a few
minutes horse and rider had disappeared
behind roll of prairie.
Colonel Jenson heaved huge sigh of re-
lief.

dy to the backbone. What say to it,

We spent merry time for a couple of
hours and then sailed out in a body to
meet the hero on his return. We had not
to 60 far. Joe had run the bronco until
his pace was spent and was now retracing
his steps at a walk He said he>yas not
hurt, but when questioned owned that ev-
cry joint and muscle of his back and limbs
seemed to have been twisted ont of shape
As for the bronco, when Joe had ridden
to the ranch, and had been lifted of and
carried into bed, for he could not walk,
was ordered to mount-being the worst
horsemsn present-and ride to the stable.
This l did with fearful inward qualms,
and no London cab horse could have been
quieter than our demon of the afternoon
1t must not be supposed, however, that
with this the breaking was completed
The bronco was ridden daily for weeks by
an experienced rough rider, and more
than once the old spirit of devilment
flashed out and endangered mis- riders life.
But Joe Startling earned his money well.
Before six months that bronco was the
best saddle pony in Jack Jenson's stable.

Mexico, sister of the King, became in
sane. In January, 1869, the only son OF
the King, the Crown Prince. died. In
january, 1881, the castle wherein the En-
press Charlotte was kept was burnt to the
ground. In January, 1889, the Austrian
Grown Prince Rudolph, son-in-law of the
King, was killed. In January, 1890, the
great royal palace at Laeken was consumed
by flames. And in January, 1891, on the

later heir, Prince Baldwin, died.
A Union Pacific engineer explains why
snowstorms are so bad for the railroads
on the plains. ''We do not mind drifts in
cuts" he says, 'for strong snow-plow
open plain, where the snow does not cover
the track to the depth of two inches.
Against such blockade the snow-plough
is almost powerless. The drifting snow
becomes mixed with sand, melts a little in
the middle of the day and freezes at night.
This forms a regular floor over the track,
almost as hard as iron. = snow plough
will charge it, and plough and engine will
run on the sand-packed snow, leaving the
track, and becoming helpless. When this
mixture of sand and snow covers a large
area of track, and is hard, nothing is to be
done but wait for a thaw, as the track can
only be cleared by chopping the crust
away with an AK"
New Haven is not quite like London,
even on such days as yesterday. Follow
ing is description of fog given by an
English paper: Suddenly, like great pail,
about 3 o'clock yesterday, one of the
densest fogs ever known fell over London
and the suburbs. A walk amid this atmos-
pheric chaos is an undertaking not readily
to be forgotten. Ever and anon the pite-
GUS voices of unseen men and women
would cry aloud, "Where are wel' "For

the case might be); or "Jane, where are

"a" while shouts for the omniscient police
man might be heard on all sides. The
blindness was aggravated by the smarting
pain with which the eyes were afflicted, by
the horrible mixture filling the mouth and
nostrils ard by the constant reminders
that the pavements had been cunningly
prepared by malicious Jack Frost as SO
many mantraps for the downfall of the un-
wary pedestrians.

One of the schemes to increase taxation

board of aldermen last evening. The
others should meet the same fate.

It has been discovered that there were
no less than 4,200 wills contested in the

and about 60 per cent. of these contests
were successful. There is very plain

went after the property another hog was

fendant claimed was his own, but it has
since proved to be the property of Mr.
Sullivan. Since the lawyer must be SURE
of the innocence of his client, he will bt
