Another's Hard Luck.

On the corner of one of the business
streets of the city the other morning, a
shoeblack had just finished polishing
the shoes of we'll dressed and gentle
appearing man. The latter was unfor-
innate in having a deformity which
compelled him to wear a shoe Oh one
of his feet with and exceedinly thick
sole, thus endeavoting 20 make up me-
chemically for what nature had denied
him.a
How much shall l pays you?" he
asked of the boy.
Five cents, sir"
''Oh, but you should have more than
five cents for polishing my Shoes" said
the gentleman tapping the thick sole
Significantly with his cane.
"NO. SIR said the boy, five cents is
enough. l don't want to make no
money out o. your hard luck"
The customer handed out coin, laid
his hand on the youngsters head for
moment and passed on.

The Hat Perished.

You know the very fashionable and artistic
ornaments for lamp shades-masses of flowers
cunningly made of silk? They are all the style
now, and many others. There is one house in
the East End that rejoices in number of
them.
Well, the other day one of the young ladies
of the household. coming in from walk, ran
up to her boudoir, and carelessly, as you have
seen many woman do. threw her hat
over the globe Of the gas burner. 1t was a
beautiful hat, very large in circumference and
adorned with great cluster of silk jacque-
minot roses on one side. The New York mil
liner had charged something over SIS for the
hat a few days before. Having disposed of her
headcear, she went downstairs again.
Her father shortly afterward, as he often
did. came in to the boudoir to read the evening
papers. 1t was growing dark and he struck a
match and proceeded to light the gas The
burner he chose was the one which seemed TO
him the best, because it had a good shade over
it that promised to temper the light. Having
lit the gas he drew up rocking chair and
began to read the news. But he was not
allowed to enjoy the exciting information con-
yeyed by the journal in peace. His nose was
offended by strong and peculiar odor IL a
minute or SO his ears also were alarmed by
the crackle of flames. He looked around and
saw the lamp shade ablaze. 1t was too late to
save the SIS hat.

Tricks in Steel.

The steel manufacturer is subjected to some
rather singular annoyances at the hands of his
customers. For example. the other day Pitts
burg manufacturer received a complaint from
a firm, which uses good deal of his steel, that
there was something wrong with the last con-
signment of steel sent, inasmuch as the men
alleged that it was soft This surprised the
manufacturer. as large quantities of the same
steel had given satisfaction elsewhere, and he
himself went to investigate the matter.
He was still more surprised when he found
that the steel was soft, after heating and SUBJ
mission to the usual bath. The blacksmith be-
fore whom he made the test and the other
workmen standing around took little pains to
hide their enjoyment of the Pittsburg experts
discontinue.
~ ou see, it is SOFT" said the blacksmith. with
grin, and for a moment the manufacturer
was at loss what more to do. Then an idea
struck him.
'Is this bath all right?" he asked, and with
out waiting for an answer he plunged his hand
into the trough and fished upa good-sized
lump of soar. No steel will harden in a soapy
bath, and the mystery was at an end. Of
course the blacksmith who had played the
trick was discharged, and he confessed that q
rival manufacturer of steel had given him fifty
dollars to put the soap in the bath.
Another steel maker in this city told me yes
terday that he had had very similar experience
and from time to time complaints about the
quality of his steel reach him from a certain
New York firm. The manager of the factory
he discovered, desired to work in another
brand of steel made by friend, and hence his
grumbling about the Pittsburg product. When
ever the growl has arisen lately the Pittsburg
manufacturer has telegraphed to the New
York firm to send the faulty steel to another
firm in the same city where no difficulty is
found in working it.

GOOD BUsNEss POLICY.

The very general approval of the new
course o! the Philadelphia Gas Company in
applying its surplus earnings to the extinc-
tion of debts, rather than the distribution of
dividends, is encouraging as recognition
Of safe business policy contrasted with un-
safe. One OF the most dangerous tendencies
Of large corporations, next to water in the
capital, is TO regard debts, both floating and
bonded, as quite the thing. Ii the Electric
Company is also taken in hand upon the
principle of starting anew without debt, or
with very little, its profitable business ought
to afford solid basis for better showing in
the future than it ever could have made un-
der former conditions of liquefaction and in
debtedness. This promises to be the line
upon which the affected interests will cut
away from the embarrassments resulting
from a different policy. The management
of the Philadelphia Gas concern has set a
good example; and with the encouraging ac-
tion of the Electric creditors yesterday 1t
helps to give favorable prospect to the
outlook.

A PETTY AFFAIR.

Ii is difficult to imagine how a legislative
body could more perfectly exemplify the
petty motives that influence the ordinary
politician than the State Senate has sue
ceeded in doing in its fight over the confir-
nation of the Governors appointments.
The appointments over which the fight
began were such as to make it the duty of
the Senate to confirm. They were largely
honorary, distributed without regard to par
tisanship, and the question of party advan-
tage should not have arisen in connection
with them. So far as their importance is
concerned, they were not worth, to either
party, five minutes of the many hours spent
in skirmishing over them.
In this instance, the Democrats took the
first step and are largely to blame. 1t is true
they nave the excuse of a similar action on
the part OF Republicans four years ago, and
wish to use the confirmation of these ap-
pointments TO secure continuation of appoint
ments Gov. Pattison will make. But to
resort to the first excuse is only to say that
they wish to show their susceptibility to as

INGERsoLL BEATEN.

A Little Conversation in a Washington Ho-
tel Nonp1ussed Him.
Philadelphia Inquirer
One terrible snowy, sleety day in Washington,
Washington Mclean was sitting in the Riggs
House reading-room looking out upon the
dreary scene on Pennsylvania avenue. Pres
emily in came Colonel Bob Ingersoll, the great
agnostic. As he entered the apartment he held
out his hand, saying:
"Hello, Wash. how do you do?'
Mr.. Mclean took his hand, and as he did so
said:
"Bob, 1 wish you could have been here little
while ago. / saw a scene out there that made
me wish 1 was 20 years younger. poor old
crippled soldier was limping across the avenue,
when a young, lusty fellow ran by him, and, as
he did so, kicked the crutch from under him
and rumbled him into the slush."
THE villain % said Ingersol. "He should
have been sent to the penitentiary."
do you really think sof' said Mclean.
why certainly" replied the Colonel.
"What else could think ?'
"And yet, Bob" said Mclean, "that is what
you are doing every week in the year. Here are
DOOR, old, infirm Christians with nothing to aid
or support them but their belief in religion;
nothing to keep them out OF the mire Of de.
spair but faith, and yet you go about kicking
the crutch from under them worse that even
this fictitious fellow did at this fictitious
soldier"

HARRISON AGAINST CAMERON.

If the report from Washington be true
that the administration has begun an active
fight against Cameron, pretty kettle of
fish may be expected. The threat that Fed
eral patronage is to be used in the ight in
dicates the desperate sliuness of the chance
to defeat the senior Senator for reelection.
There is, however, an odor of fishiness about
the whole story. especially as the White
House opposition is said to be based wholly
upon alleged sighting remarks, made by SEN
ator Cameron in private, against President
Harrison. There is no doubtthere is lack of
cordiality between Mr.. Cameron and the
President, but that may be easily explained
by the temperaments of the two men with
out the supposition that any active enmity
exists. 1t is difficult to see what the Presi-
dens could expect from defeating Senator
Cameron, except the latter's political oppo-
sition. With the second -rm bee buzzing
in his bonnet Mr.. Harrison would seem to
be in position to be more injured than
benefited by this.

HISTORIAN BANcRoFrs DEATH.

Historian Bancroft's death removes a
prominent figure from the American liter
ary world. His work will live after him.
His death was practically painless and can
only be considered as the close of a complete
life, Mr.. Bancroft having long since passed
the allotted life of man. His working days
were ended some time ago, as the once
powerful memory had lost its retentive
power. Whatever his malady may be
called, it was really the exhaustion of old
age that stopped the machinery of life. Mr..
Bancroft was never classed as a genius, but
he had the greater merit of being hard
worker. He accomplished much that is of
value, and earned universal respect.
