PoIiteness Made uIm a Canon.

Canon Duckworth, of Westminster
Abbey, is said to owe his place in &C.
clesiastical life and his favor in royal
eyes to slight act of courtesy to the
princess of Wales. The scene of his
graceful gallantry was at Oxford,
number OF years ago, when the prin-
cess. on her way with the prince and a
party of friends to embark in barge
on the river, became separated from
the others and stood at the river side
alone and irresolute. A young man
who happened to be near by saw her
dilemma and, stepping forward, assist
ed her to embark. The prince, who ar
rived a moment later, thanked him.
Dean Liddell, who was in the royal
train, noted his gallantry, and within a
few years that youth was a favorite
with royalty and well on his way to
preferment in the church. Now he is
canon of Westminster.

STREET-CAR KICkERS.
Some Types Peculiar to the City OF NJ
wAukee.

Some Types Peculiar to the City of MIL
waukee.
Did you ever notice a car-load of
women Jagged about fifty) who sat cross
legged with one foot suspended in the
air near the Sims of passengers, with
parasols stuck across the aisle and bun
dies and baskets scattered about? Did
you ever see the conductor try to get
through such talking and gray headed
group to collect fares? The next time
you get chance to observe such a
group do so, and hear their remarks as
the conductor endeavors not to step on
their toes, as he falls over their tangled
legs, and as his shoe comes in contact
with the polished handle of some one of
their parasols.
Both male and female Of the variety
known as the wrong-car kickers are
vigorous. They will stand on corner
dreaming until they are suddenly
aroused by the sound of the approach
ing or passing car. They throw up
their hands as if commanded to do so
by highway robbers and scramble on
to the car without looking to see
whether they have hailed the right car
or not. When they have been on the
necessary to reach their destinations
they look out of the window and dis
cover that they are in a strange part
of the town. In the case of
women they screech, and shout: "Say,
sab, conductor-r-r! Why did you
not tell me that l was on the wrong
car? Where am l? What street is
this?" The conductor informs them
"Well, let me off," says the lost womani
land will walk" There is generally
great deal of accent on the word
walk"
The wrong change kicker is a we'll
known character on tho street cars of
Milwaukee. He will get on a loaded
car and hand the conductor haf dol.
lar coin, get his change and after the
conductor has collected the rest OF
fares he will call him up and ask:
"Where is the rest of my change?
gave you n dollar and you gave
me forty-five cents in change"
The conductor tries to explain to him,
but he will not listen. And he threat.
ems to have the conductor fired for try
ing to rob passengers.
A bothersome kicker is the dust
kicker who wants the doors and win.
dows all closed SO that the dust will
not soil his black suit The close at,
lnosphere kicker wants the doors and
windows open because he is suffocat-
ing or perspiring SO profusely ~ to
spoil his shirt-front. Another kind OF
kicker kicks because lie discovers that
some one is smoking inside of the car
and is trying to make smoked ham OF
the passengers. -Peck's Sun.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Yesterdays Proceedings In the senate and
House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 14.-There was a
lively two hour session of the House
yesterday. Mr.. Holman, of Indiana,
offered a resolution denouncing the
granting of subsidies or bounties OF
cash, land or credit as impolitic, unjust,
and in violation of republican institu-
tions, and that Congress should vote no
money except "to carry on the several
departments frugally, efficiently and
honestly administered. -
The House seconded demand for the
previous question by a vote of 154 to so,
and then Mr. Holman asked unanimous
consent that it might be debated. This
was given, and it was agreed that the

lucky, the debate was postponed until
to-day.
Mr.. Martin, from the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, presented a resolution
providing for Friday night sessions to
consider pension bills.
Mr.. Bland introduced a resolution
asking the Secretary of the Treasury to
tell why, if there was money to pay the
1-2 per cent. bonds as they became due,
he has assumed to continue them at ?
per cent.
Next Saturday was set apart for con-
sideration of the bill to regulate the
whole matter of public printing, and
Saturday, Jan. 30, for eulogizing the late
Hon. l.. G. Houk, of Tennessee.
A number of bills were introduced,
among them one to abolish the 500, 900,
900 reserve; to give each Representative
not a Chairman of a Committee clerk
declaring Oct. ~ the anniversary of the
discovery of America and a day of ma
tioral Thanksgiving, and one to repeal
the sinking fund law.
There was almost scene in the Sen
ate between Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri,
and Mr.. Mcpherson, of New Jersey, over
New Jersey public building bill. The
difficulty was smoothed over, and the
Senate before adjourning succeeded not
only in passing that bill, but several
other from the calendar.
The greater part of the balance of the
session was taken up in discussion OF
the needs of the Court of Claims and the
Attorney Generals office with special
reference to the disposition of Indian
depreciation claims. The matter was

SON Prince Ferdinand has been disc ov-
cred at Sofia. The Princes cook has
been placed under arrest. Fifty officers
OF the army have also been arrested on a
charge of conspiracy to murder Premier
Stambuloff. The cook was instigated,
it is claimed to put poison in the Princes
food, while the army officers had been
led by Russian intrigue to determine to
get rid of Stambuloff. The conspirators
will be treated with the utmost severi-
ty, and those convicted will undoubtedly
suffer the fate of Major Panitza, who was
shot for conspiring against Ferdinand

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan 14.-John An
derson, who is held here under charges of
robbery and bigamy, and who has been
rapidly gaining a worldwide reputation
owing to his frequent and numerous
matrimonial alliances, yesterday heard
through the police of four more women,
residents of as many different States,
who wish to lay claim to him as their
lord and master. This makes a total of
fifteen wives for Anderson.
Four others have at different times
since his arrest put in claims upon his
affections, but Investigations showed
that they had either been wholly mis-
taken with regard to his identity or that
breach of promise damages were the
most that they.could expect to gain from
him.
Like their sister sufferers, the women
just heard from, all complain of having
been robbed of large sums of money by
Anderson, who in each case left the ladies
to shift for themselves as soon as he
could obtain possession of their pocket
hooks
