EVERY newspaper in New York city except one were insanely jealous because only that one was indicted for publish ing the details of the recent electrocu- tion. Newspaper men fully appreciate the advantage of the advertising to be gained, hence the jealousy. Seeing the turn of affairs District Attorney Micoll decided to indict all the papers.

THE Richmond State is proud of the fact that MT Tennyson smokes only Virginia tobacco. "He keeps big box of clay pipes by h1s side," it says, "and filling one of them smokes it until empty, then breaks it; fills another, smokes it out, and smashes that" MI Tennyson has many admirable qualities, but if he does this way he does not know how to smoke clay pipe. Ii takes at least a days smoking to take the taste of the clay out of the pipe. When it is fresh it is no better than a pity so good a poet does not know how to smoke Virginia tobacco in clay pipe.

HOW VOTERS ARE MADE.
Totally Ignorant Foreigners Turned Int
 Good CItIzenS of the Republic.


 Good Citizens of the Republic. The most tiresome duty that the judges of the superior and common pleas courts has to perform is the nat uralization of the thousands of foreign CTS that wish to become invested with the rights and privileges of American citizenship especially just before cleo ton time. When naturalization is going on the courtroom is turned into a schoolroom. The clerk calls off the namei of the prospective citizen, who steps up to the bar with his friend who is to declare that he has known him so many years and that he knows him to be of good moral character. Then the friend steps aside and 8 judge asks the embarrassed candidate few questions to see If he knows enough about our government to be given a vote. This is part of conversation between judge and candidate in the court of common pleas the other day, says the New York Times:
 "What is the government of this coun- try?" asked the judge. Republic" said the candidate.
 "Who is the chief officer of this state?'
 "The governor"
 "And who makes the laws?"
 "The sinnit,"'
 '"The senate and what2" with an em: phasis on the what"
 "Yes, sir; yes, sirs the sinnit and wat"
 But he got his papers.

THE pension fever is contagious. A wealthy citizen of Omaha, who is said to be perfectly sane, has started a cru sade having for its object the pension ing by the government of every negro who was slave. If this sort of thing is to be kept up it is only a question of time when the proposition for the government to take care of everybody will be seriously made.

SINCE it became known among repub- licans that Major Mckinley made an ap- peal to the national executive committee for money to save him from defeat there is a noticeable diminution in the amount of brag in which they indulge. They now realize that although Ohio is ordinarily republican state the election of Mckinley, handicapped by his un- popular and unjust tariff bill, is very far from being a certainty, and most of them are willing to admit that the legis- lature is in doubt. This is a very great change, and it is significant.

THE BOILER MAKERS MEET.
A Pittsburg Man Is President, and Many
Topics Will Be Considered.

ST. LOUIS, May 12.-The fourth annual con-
vention of the American Boiler Manufact-
urers, Association of the United States and
Canada met in this city this morning at the
Lindel Hotel, 200 delegates being present.
The convention was called to order by Pres
ident James Lappan, of Pittsburg, after
which Mayor Noonan made an address of
welcome. The reports OF the officers were
then read and special committee was ap-
pointed to which all subjects to come before
the convention will be submitted.
: This is one of the most important in
dustrial associations in the country. Its
object is to secure uniformity among manu-
facturers, adjust State inspection laws and
to raise the standard of boilers by adopting
q standard of boilers for erything, as for
instance as has already been done in the
matter Of boiler steel. The principal subject
to be discussed will be 'The Labor
Question:" "Reports on Materials and
Tests" "Safety Valves and Horse
Power'r and proper Rules for Tube
Spacing" The apprentice question will also
be discussed at length, and viii! involve the
time and age at which apprentices may be
accepted. This matter was brought up last
year. but was laid over until until this con-
vention. Besides, the delegates will hear
from the Committee ON Legislation. What
the members are earnestly working for now
is uniform inspection law. Many of the
States have very fair inspection laws, but
they vary so materially that 1t causes con-
fusion. A committee is at work on an in
spection law that will be presented to Con-
gress and If successful the Association will
then work individually in the respective
States to have similar law enacted.

The first winner of the Derby was Aristides, in
largest number of starters thatever got away in
the Derby's history. The time was very fast
2:37@-and It has not been lowered to any remarka-
BILE extent since. The smallest number of starters
tions in 1880, when Fonso was winner. When
Montrose knocked down the persimmons in 1887
there were only seven starters but the nominations
numbered 49, the largest list ever entered. One of
the peculiar things about the Kentucky Derby is
the fact that the genter sex has never furnished
trotting record the mares are not feeling very badly
about their turf status.
The time of the Kentucky Derby winners has
gravitated anywhere between the poorest, the 2:43
Spokane in 1889. One of the first Derby record
breakers was Day Star, 2:S4, In 1873. The next
year Lord Murphy reduced the record to 2:37,
which he held for seven years. Then came Ben
Ali, Haggin,s famous Ben Ali, with 2:36H IN 1885:

sons winner was Riley, whose time was 2:45.
