The Prince OF Wales
Gives the Highest Praise
to an American
Invention.

When the. Prince of Wales was stopping
nj a hotel in Paris lately he caused the
landlord considerable trouble on account
of the bed not being what he wanted.
The landlord told his royal highness that
there must be mistake somewhere, and
asked the prince for an explanation. The
prince promptly replied that he wanted
the same room that he had occupied the
last time he had stopped at the hotel. He
said he wanted to be saved the annoyance
of going to one place for his wardrobe,
another place for his writing utensils, still
another place for his bureau and some
where else for mirror. He wanted them
NIL combined. The landlord stroked his
beard a second, and then very humbly
begged his lordship's pardon and ut the
same time conducted his distinguished
uuest into a room where stood Standard
Folding Bed, to the supreme delight OF
the prince and his friends. They all sang
1--WE Are jolly Good Fellows"
This is the same Standard Folding Bed
that the Waterbury Furniture company
has al its warel ooms. 1t is the great
RENT SAVER. You can make one room
answer the purpose of two. 1t is great
consideration nowadays among economical
people whether they pay for the rent OF
four rooms or only three.

ITALY'S NAVY NEEDED.

The Triple Alliance Aroused Over the New
Orleans Affair.
BERLIN, April 1.-The relations be-
tween Italy and the United States are be-
ginning to arouse anxiety among the
other members of the triple alliance, in
view of the threatening situation in the
East.
Should the feet of Italy be occupied
by hostilities with America, this would
seriously embarrass the alliance, which
has looked to Italy's fleet to hold the
Mediterranean against Russia and France
in the event of war.
Ir is expected, therefore, that Germany
will advise Italy not to take too aggres.
sive a view of the affair at New Orleans.

HER MIND WRECKED.

Mrs. Schmidt Acquitted of the Charge of
Numbering Her Sister.
MEDIA, Pa, April AFTER being out
IS minutes the jury acquitted Mrs. Schmidt
of the charge of having murdered her
sister, Emma Pfitzenmeyer, last Decem-
Der.
Mrs. Schmidt has been placed under the
care of physicians. 1t is believed that the
severe strain to which she has been sub
jected has completely wrecked her mind.
Her husband, Henry Schmidt, who was
held as an accessory in the murder, was
discharged Immediately after the verdict
was rendered in his wife's case, the dis
trict-attorney having withdrawn the
charge against him.

Successful Fishing Experiment.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 1.-Captain
Bradford, of the schooner Mary f. CHS
holm, just arrived from an experimental
trip beam TRAVELLING on the Georges Banks,
reports the undertaking q success. He
took 200 pounds of various kinds of
fish by this method. Among the fish
taken were a number of lemon sole, such
as are caught in the North Sea, and never
seen in these waters. 1t is probable that
a revolution in the methods of bank fish
ing may follow this experiment.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 1.-The announce

DISCUSSING THE RECALL.
The Matter a Subject of Intense Interest
in Washington.

in Washington.
WASHINGTON, April Little is talked
about in Washington to-day except the
recall of Baron Fava by the Italian gov
ernment. In the hotels, on the streets
and in the public clubs, the matter is a
subject of intense interest.
Strange to say, in diplomatic and
official circles the same Importance is not
attached to Baron Fava's recall as in
the public resorts. The fact that the
Italian Legation is to remain here and
conduct the routine business that usually
passes between governments, shows that
diplomatic relations between the United
States and Italy are not yet severed

Pathetic Ending of the Little Pets Ex-

Some years ago poet lived in Paris who
had kind heart, and possessed considera-
BILE influence among rich and respectable
people. He was sitting one day at his desk
writing poem when his servant brought
him a letter from an old friend. asking him
to find employment "for the bearer" The
poet told the servant to show the bearer
into his study. He was an elderly man,
tall, stoutly built. and scrupulously neat
with full gray beard. And he looked about
so.
MY friend tells me-" said the poet,
'sthat you have lately been bookkeeper
with tradesman in the Rue Saint Denis?"
"Yes, sir" was the answer.
''Why did you leave your situation?"
The man hesitated. and then said with an
effort: 81 left it because of an unfortunate
discovery"
But" said the poet. ''what was the dis.
covery? l must know. because if recon-
mend you to a place shall take certain

A SUDDEN SHOWER.

Barefooted boys scud up the street.
Or skurry under the sheltering sheds:
And schoolgirl faces pale and sweet
Clean from the shawls about their heads
Doors bang; and mother voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above it all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt, the rain, the rain
The earth lies gasping; and the eyes
Behind the streaming window panes
Smile at the trouble of the skies.
The highway smokes, sharp echoes ring;
The cattle bawl and COW bells clank
And into the town comes galloping
The farmers horse with steaming flank.
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And flirts his plumes and folds his wings;
And under the catawba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings.
The bumblebee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And sullenly in spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk.
Within. the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and vague;
Without, beneath the rose bush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.

A Sad. Sad Tale.

Several years ago in small mining camp
in the west, had passed the evening
watching the vacllating fortunes of several
miners and few Cinnamon "bucking the
tiger" 1t was stormy night late in the
fall, and between the muttered curses of
the miners and the "kiyi's" of the China
men. as case card went wrong or split
occurred, one could hear the gusts of wind
and rain as they beat against the windows
and thin sides of the rickety building. One
by one the players began reluctantly to
leave, explaining to the barkeeper. as they
rendered their last check for drink. that if
they had only switched and played another
system they would have won the bank.roll.
One O'Clock left only few gamblers
lounging sleepily on chairs and tables. The
dealer was counting his gains and only the
barkeeper whistling down on the Swanee
River broke the stiffness of the room.
Suddenly the door opened and gust of
wind and rain ushered in vision of whisk-
ers and rags. 1t approached the bar and,
in the persuasive way of a man with the
Snakes" asked for a drink. Did he have
the price? Well, no, but would make it all
right to- morrow. The barkeeper shook his
head. Just then the faro dealer finished
counting his money. and. as he threw it
carelessly in the drawer. pitched dollar to
to the barkeeper saving, "Give him drink.
Billy"
AS the stranger drank he talked plaint-
lively and, as his voice grew stronger. he
carried us with him to the days of his child
hood, of the mOrning-glory and the apple
blossoms of the old homestead. of the am
bitions of youth and the disappontments of
manhood; repeated to us the old. old
tale of "Ostler Joe," and went on until
every head was bowed in bringing back to
memory the sound of the church bells on
quiet Sunday evening of our childhood.
Suddenly he ceased. and so busy were we
with our thoughts that we scarcely heard
the door close No one spoke until the
dealer noisely started up saying, ''Billy,lets
close up and 60 home" The barkeeper
silently set the glasses up for last drink;
the gambler gathered his tools together and
reached into the drawer for his money, and
kept fumbling around until he had pulled
the drawer clear out. At last he looked up
at us with queer smile and said. Gen
tlemen, that stranger was a pretty smooth
preacher-he's got the bank ROLL"

originally usurped they affected to inherit.
From such beginning nothing could be ex-
pected but continual system of war and
extortiOn. Among the crowned heads OF
Europe to day war is an established trade.
Of what use to the people are those i'm
mense standing armies? There does not
exist within such governments stamina
whereon to engraft reformation. The best
and most effectual remedy would be to be-
gin anew. The person known as the Prince
of Wales. is the product of several genera
tions of hereditary government. This in
dividual has never vet been entrusted with
the management of one acre of land. nor
never superintended the construction of any
public work, nor never produced anything
in any way, shape or form: but. wonderful
to tell. he may be entrusted with the desti-
nies of the British Empire. Extraordinary
power should not be allotted to any individ-
ual in government. 1t matters not wheth-
er he be a king, an emperor. pope. duke,
or man by any other name which prOpri-
ETY. or folly may devise or arrogance assume.
When extraordinary power and extraordi-
nary pay are allotted to any individual in
government, he becomes the center around
which all kinds of corruption generates and
forms. Give to any man millions year. and
add thereto the power of controlling the hu-
man mind. and the liberties of that country
are no longer secure. What scenes of horror.
what perfection of iniQuity present them
selves when one contemplates the careers of
the old governments. If could delineate hu-
man nature with an hypocrisy which nature
would shudder at and humanity disOwn. it
would be kings courts and cOurtiers that
would have to set for the portrait. Man as
he is, with all his faults about him, is not
up to the character.
If government originated in right prin-
ciple and had not all interest in pursuing a
wrong one. why is it that the world has been
convulsed by the long and bloody wars re-
corded in history? What inducement has
the farmer while following the plOw to lay
aside his peaceful pursuit and go to war
with the farmer of another country? or.
what inducement has the manufacturer?
What is dominion to them or to any class
of men in nation? Does it add one acre
to a mans estate or raise its value? Is not
conquest or defeat, each of the same price.
and taxes the never failing consequence?
Although this reasoning may be good to a
nation, it is not so to an hereditary govern
ment. War is the faro table of govern
ments and nations the dupes of the game.
If there is ANYTHING to be wondered at more
than might be expected it is the progress
which the peaceful arts sciences. commerce,
manufacturing and agriculture have made
under such long accumulating load OF dis
couragement and oppression. 1t proves
conclusively, that instinct in animals does
not act with more natural impulse than
progress and civilization operate in man.
Under all discouragements he pursues his
object, and yields to nothing save impOssi-
bilities. Nc. Z.
