Ward McAllister No. 2.

Butler in Ordinary to the Four Hundred
Ward McAllister was shocked almost beyond
expression on Thursday when he heard of the
death of the heir presumptive to the British
throne, says the New York Commercial AdUer-
tiser. The information was conveyed to him
by World reporter, and the manner in which
Mr.. McAllister expressed his grief and his
knowledge Of the line Of royal descent was re-
ported as follows:
"a World reporter was the first to convey
the news of the death OF the prince to Mr.. and
Mrs. Ward MoAllister.
my God he said, is he really dead? Then
Prince George will be king"
1t so happened that the other Ward McAllis-
ter-tbe Second Ward-who drives dirt cart
for the commissioner of street cleaning, had not
been apprised OF the sad and important news
from over the water. The World had over
looked him. 80 it fell to the lot of a Morning
advertiser reporter to convey the melancholy
intelligence.
Mr. McAuister No. ? was found shoveling
snow and slush on Park Row. His cart was
loaded to the caves and when the bearer of the
message spoke to him he rested one arm on his
shovel and took an extra Whit at his pipe
BE hivns, " be said, but it's turn av the
heart yez do be givin' me, Who's thot is dead?"
THE Duke of Clarence and Avondale."
The Second Ward was silent FOR moment.
His brow took on reflective wrinkle. He
studied the snow at his feet and looked at his
mules head.
"Wull, wull, " he soloquized, ian he's dead
the Juke av Clarence. Perhaps, sor yez
wouldn't mind tellins me where the gintleman
lives Was it on the Aist side?'
The desired information was given, but the
Second Ward still appeared to be puzzled.
"Indade," said he, Its sorra am till hear
av any mans death, but as Murtha said till his
mother, If we didn't die, we'd have till stop
bein' horn; so it's all in the coorse av nature,
sor.' It's fine funeral they'll be havin'."
Mr.. McAllister No. was not as ornate in his
| language as Mr.. McAllster No !, but he made
| quite as good showing as his namesake.

A Sad Case of Grandfather.

William Hartman, a resident of Titusville.
committed suicide a few days ago from mel
ancholy conviction that he was his own grand
father, says the Venango Citizen. Here is a
singular letter that he left: 81 married widow
who had a grown-up daughter. My father
visited our house very often, fell in love with
my step-daughter and married her. So my
father became my son-ln-law and my step
daughter my mother, because she was my
fathers wife. Some time afterward my wife
had a son; he was my fathers brother-in-law
and my uncle for he was the brother of my
step-mother. My fathers wife,. e., my step
daughter, had a son; he was, of course, my
brother and in the meantime my grandchild
for he was the son of my daughter My wife
was my grandmother because she was my
mothers mother. Twas my wfe's husband and
grandchild at the same time. And as the hus-
band OF persons grandmother is his grand
father was my own grandfather"

BE Couldn't Understand.

A tall. green-looking youth stepped into g
village grocery where they kept something &c
drink as well as TO eat, and after peering
about a little, spied some ginger cakes: Said
he to the grocer: 'Them's mighty fine cakes
What's the least you'll take for one of EN- ~
Ten cents" replied the grocer. well 1 be-
lieve I'll take one IL you'll wrap It up right
good" The grocer wrapped up the cake and
handed it to him. He looked thoughtfully at
it while and said II don't believe want
this cake after all; wont you swap me a drink
for it?" ''Yes," said the grocer as he took back
the cake and handed him a glass of something
The young man swallowed the liquor and
started off. Hold on" cried the grocer, you
haven't paid me for the drink" ~ snapped
you the cake for the drink" But you haven't
paid me for the cake" You've got your cake -
This last retort so nonplussed the grocer that
he stood and scratched his puzzled head while
the young man made good his retreat.

Is chile Preparing TO Apologize9

Il Chile Preparing 20 Apologize2
From the dispatches it is difficult TO form
satisfactory opinion IS to whether Chile
intends to apolcgizs r not. One day their
terror Is warlike, al d the next it is Indicative
Of a peaceful solution Of the difficulty. Ac.
cording to our dispatches this morning it
appears that Chile is now showing sucn q
C onciliatory disposition that it is believed
in Washington that 1t will not be necessary
to resort to extreme measures 70 get salts
factory answer to our demands for an
apology and reparation. 1t is certainly to
be hoped that the trouble between the two
countries will be settled without war.
There would be no glory for this country
in war with Chile and there is no doubt
that war, however short the time
it might last. would cost this coun-
try many lives and great deal OF
money. But there would not, and should
not be any hesitation in declaring war if it
became necessary TO do 50 to uphold the
honor Of the country. In this age Of en-
lightenment, however. this country would
be very generally condemned by other civil
liked nations If it should attack a weak
nation like Chile before it had exhausted all
honorable means to obtain, without war
compliance with its demands.
There is q chance that some of the acts of
Chile which are regarded as offensive have
not been fully understood. For instance. it
is stated that the notification given Com
mander Evans, of the cruiser Yorktown,
that refugees on neutral vessels stopping at
Chilean ports would not be free from ar
rest was not intended TO be understood as
indicating an uDfriendly spirit. On the
contrary, the purpose was to put the refu-
gees and their protectors on their guard
against something which might happen and
which the Chilean government could not
prevent. 1t was understood in this country,
however, to mean that the rights Of refu-
gees under the protection of this country
would not be respected.
1t is not improbable that the Chilean
government has been forced by circum-
stances to seem to be unwilling to respond
favOrably to the demands OF this country
although recognizing the justice of them.
The great majority of the people Of Chile
are densely ignorant and have a very
inflated idea of the military power of their
own country and very erroneous one Of
the strength Of this country. The Chilean
government therefore, might have a revo-
luton on its hands il 1t should yield hastily
TO our demands, This is one view of the
hesitation which characterizes the diplo-
macy Of the Chilean government in the
pending difficulty. and it may be the corr
rect one. However, it looks just now as il
an apology and PREPARATION would be made
Il is certain that the war cloud is not as
threatening as it was week ago.

A Joke That Recoilsd.

A writer in a popular monthly, says the
Washington Star, mentions the case of kins.
man Of his own who was q schoolboy at Har-
row. Out in the fields one day he went to the
assistance Of portly farmer on horseback, who
could not easily open gate. and did not care
to put his horse TO it. This was an act which in.
dictated weu-conditoned mind; the farmer
thanked him aud asked his name. The youth
at once saw an opportunity for a good joke.
Green" said the Harrowian
'What Is your father"
"a cheesemonRer in London, in Theobald's
road-rather q small shop" was the wholly
imaginative answer.
"You are capital young chap; shan't for.
get you," said the farmer. And he left the
youth chuckling over the incident and the
sell"
Years passed, and the lively fancy OF the
Harrow scholar proved to have cost him a for
tune. The newspapers had advertisements for
young gentleman of the name of Green, whose
father at one time kept cheesemonger's shop
in Theobold's road, and to whom large legacy
was devised In recognition of a service rendered
at Harrow about ten years before. As the pub
lished clue to the identity was wholly false and
mistaken, through an ill-tned levity the money
could never be claimed,

New York apparently prefers a shotgun
and dead line policy to one of nineteenth
century common sense. The bill to permit
reporters for newspapers to witness electro-
cutions has been adversely reported upon in
the legislature. While this is certainly not
in line with enlightenment and public inter
est, it is perhaps better for the space writers,
as it is a poor reportorial Imagination
that cannot conjure up four or five columns
of a good story about the mysterious chams
Der Of horrors. And in the absence Of au-
thentic details, editors and the public are
forced to accept it.

he would bring 10 administration of the

Senator Georges Victory.

The announcement Of the reelection OF
Senators George and Walthall, OF Missis-
sippi, was received with pleasure In the Sem
ate yesterday. They are senator's of
unquestioned ability and great usefulness,
and, besides, are held in high esteem by
senators Of both parties. Their reelection
is due to the efforts of Senator George, who
was opposed by the alliance because he
refused to approve the sub treasury scheme.
Senator Walthall also refused to approve 1t,
but he did not make a campaign for reselec-
ton as Senator George did. He announced
that he was not candidate.
Senator George made a campaign that
attracted the attention of the entire coun-
try. When he began 1t there was a pretty
general impression in Mississippi that he
had entered upon a hopeless undertaking.
he was opposed by some of the best stump
speakers in the state, and the alliance was
well organized and remarkably strong. The
opposition was assisted by the best talent
the alliance could obtain in other states.
Col Livingston, Of this state, for instance,
made quito a number Of speeches in Mis5is-
sippi against Senator Georges reelection.
Senator George, however, convinced
majority of the democratic farmers that
the sub-treasury scheme was undemocratic
and unconstitutional, and that II it should be
embodied in national law it would do
| them a great deal more harm than good
In the beginning Of his campaign work he
met with very little sympathy, but he was
so earnest and sincere that the farmers be-.
| gan to think over his arguments against the
sub~treasury scheme. and finally they be-
came convinced that he was right, and that
| 1t was much safer to follow him than the men
who were advocating something about which
they knew nothing and who, they had
pretty good reason to think, cared less
about the interests of the farmers than about
getting offices for themselves Mississippi
is to be congratulated for standing by the
men who have proved themselves to be
statesmen, and who can be depended upon
to guard the interests Of their constituents.

1t is difficult to regard the mild-eyed
