Philanthropy on Credit.

The late Horace Leland, who for many
years kept the Leland hotel at Spring
| field, Ills, was generous man and a
lover of children. One day he and John
! 4. q. Andrews, then speaker of the
Illinois house Of representatives, were
walking out together, when they met a
man with a cluster of toy balloons.
| School was Just out, and hundreds of
boys and girls came pouring from a
building near at hand.
"Hold on, Ace" said Mr.. Leland,
there's a joyous sight," and the two
stopped and watched the children all
gazing with longing eyes at the balloons.
"Fi' cent apiece"
"How much for the lot?' asked the
philanthropist.
The man counted them. There were
twenty-one.
zone dolr for the lot"
Mr.. Leland took them all and dis
! tributed them among the children with
as much fairness as possible Then he
put his hand into his pocket and said, Il
declare, Ace. haven't cent with me.
Lend me dollar"
"Oh, no." said Judge Andrews seri-
ously, "you can't play philanthropist at
my expense"
"Well, my man." said Mr.. Leland, 81
guess you'll have to call at my hotel for
your money"
"No, sir" said the man; ''you give me
nay money or you give me back my
balloons"
''But don't you see l can do neither?
Cone to the Leland House and ask for
Mr.. Leland, and | will pay YOU"
'.No, sir" persisted the man, ''you pay
me my money or give me back my
balloons. haf see dat hotel trick be-
fore"
'Come, Ace" said Mr.. Leland from
the depths of his troubled soul, ''give me
a dollar"
"Not cent" said the Judge with as
suJned gravity, Il wouldn't trust you
with dime"
''!See,' said the man, "your own friend
no will trust you. You give me my
money or | will call de policeman"
Just then there happened along an old
beggar woman who had lived upon the
bounty of the good people of Springfield
for many year. She stopped and heard
enough of the conversation to know what
it was about.
''Hould on, Misther Layland," said
she; ''if yer foine friend there won't lave
ye loan av dollar, Dim the friend that
will" and as she lectured Judge An
drews for the '.stingiest ould thing out
O JAIL" she unrolled the money from
dirty rag and gave it to the philanthro-
pist.
Judge Andrews says ne never tried to
play just that kind of joke on Horace
Leland again.-New York Tribune.

Ice Made by Natural Gas.

An inventor in Buffalo has devised a
process FOR making ice by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion OF
natural gas when liberated from the
high pressure at which it issues from
the wells. In the experimental plant
the gas is used at its initial pressure, OF
from $50 to 200 pounds to drive small
engine. After use in the engine the gas
exhausts into closed box, and the ex,
pansion generates sufficient cold to form
slabs of ice three inches thick to the
amount of three-quarters of ton in q
day. 1t IS claimed that the principle
can be az e,onomically on large
scale * Telegram.

TIE RESULT OF MERIT.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people like
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere The value of a
medicine is best proved by its continued
use from year to year by the same persons
and families, as well as by a steady in
creasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have
met with.such continued success and popu-
larity as has marked the Introduction aud
progress of Braudreth's Pills. which, after
trial of over fifty Years, are Conceded to
be the safest aud most effective purgative
and blood purifier Introduced to the public
That this is the IT suit of merit and that
Brandreth's Pills actually perform all that
Is claimed for them, IS cOnclusively proved
by the fact that those who regard them
with the greatest favor are those who have
used them the longest
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

A Triumph of Civilization.

There is large farmer near me. q
clever and successful man in his way,
who married (as men sometimes do) a
foolish wife. His daughters are placed
at an expensive school in Brighton, and
are carefully debarred by their mother
from all acquaintance, not only with
teamwork and homework. but with such
elementary feminine knowledge as ths
simplest seryantmaid can enjoy. They
may not make or mend their own clothes
they may not use the needle.
81 am happy to say" their proud
mother said lately to a lady: 81 am
happy to say, ma am, that my daughters
cannot even sew" But they can play
the piano-after fashion-they have a
smattering of French. they could and
would Gf they were asked go to garden
parties in evening dress. So greatly has
civilization triumphed in their case

A relation of mine, who has spent

English residents in the Indian city. the

Stories That Bishop Hare Tells.


Bishop Hare, of South Dakota, is fond
of telling stories about himself to illus
trate the point which he playfully make.
that man who lives long on the plains
comes to be good deal of barbarian.
Once, so one of the stories runs, he had
the misfortune while entering dining
room in this city to step upon the skirt of
a lady's dress. Apologizing, he said,
"You know that have been living with
the Indians lately and have grown some
what awkward"
The lady, Miss Potter, quickly replied,
1T don't think that, bishop; but am sur
prised at one thing, that after living SO
long with the Indians you shouldn't be
better at following up trail.
a few evenings later another little af-
fair occurred, the story of which the
bishop tells as follows:
81 was talking with charming wom-
an when up came a gentleman who
claimed her attention for moment IN
another part Of the house. As she went
away she gave me her ice and asked me
TO keep it for her. She had hardly gone
before brother clergyman engaged me
In talk on the Indian question.
"Now, if there is any subject in which
! am more interested than am in the
Indian question l can't think of it just
now. AT any rate, became absorbed
in my talk with my friend. Suddenly l
was aroused by an inquiry addressed to
me in woman's voice.
Where is my ice, bishop? was the
question.
Upon my word, had eaten every bit
of it."-New York Times.

GRAVES SENTENCED

DENVER, Jan. 11-This morning Judge
Rising denied the motion for an arrest of
Judgment in the case of Dr. Graves. There
was no argument. The lawyers had pre-
sented heir authorities for and against
he motion on Saturday night, and his
honor had spent Sunday in examining
them. The court room was silent when
Judge Rising asked DR. Graves if he had
anything to SAY why sentence of death
should not be passed upon him. The &C
cused made short speech, in which he de-
cared that he was innocent and denied
that lie had made any confession. Judge
Rising then sentenced DR.. Graves TO be
hanged during the week beginning Jan.
81 1t is left TO the discretion of the sheriff
upon which day the hanging shall occur.
DIR. Graves YiSibly trembled and turned
pale when the sentence was pronounced.
After the passing of the sentence, Mr..
Furman asked for IA stay of ninety days to
prepare his appeal TO the supreme court.
The judge gave him fif cen hays, aid took
occasion to remark that the evidence JustI-
fed the verdict.
Dr. Graves will be taken to the peniten-
tiary at Canon City tomorrow. where he
will be put in solitary CONTINENT until he
is ell her granted new tlal or his sentence
cOmmuted or executed. A petition is on
foot here requesting the governor TO COM
mutethe Doctors sentence, not because
he is thought TO be innocent, but on ac-
count of prejudice existing here against
capital punishment
Later-The sheriff took DR.. Graves to
the Canon City penitentiary toAight. al
though it was first understood that this
would not be done until tomorrow. Be-
sides DR.. Graves there were four other
prisoners taken to the penitentiary. DIR.
Graves was taken to the cells for con-
demued murderer., and told to enter cell
No. 3. He hesitated, and in husky voice
said: "My God! this is terrible" The
jailer again requested The doctor to enter,
which he did, and, throwing himself upon
cot, asked to be left alone. After break
fast tomorrow the doctor will be taken to
the prison barber shop where his venera
BILE looking hair and aris ocratic side
whiskers will be removed, and be will be
given striped suit.

THE CUP OF DEATH.
The False Prophet of Soudan Poisoned by
an Inmate Of His Harem.

CAIRO. Jan. 11-In an interview today
Father Ohrwalder, the priest who was for
lperly connected with the Austrian Soudan
mission, and who recently escaped from
the mahdi after nine years of captivity,
confirmed the report that the mahdi was
poisoned. and repeated in detailt the. events
that lead to his death. Father Ohrwalder
SAYS that after the mahdi had tired of war
fare he Withdrew to Omdurman to enjoy a
life of RIGHTEOUSNESS. Among the prisoners
who had fallen into the hands of the mahdi
was a daughter of a wealthy citizen of
khartoum. This citizen had refused to
accept the mahdi as the successor of No
hammed and had opposed his schemes
Consequently, when KhartOum WAS CAP
tured by the mahdi his property was con-
fiscated; all his children except his daugh
ter were butchered. and his wives were
sold into slavery. The Arabs were struck
by the beauty of the girl whose life they
spared. They deemed she would make a
worthy addition to the harem of their lead
or, and she was accordingly carried to the
mahdi and presented to him.
The girl, however. was not content to
live life OF concubinage with the man
who had been the cause OF the destruction
Of her family. She brooded over her
wrongs aud finally determined to take re-
ven e. Like many other people of her
race she had considerable knowledge of
poisODs. She selected for the mahdi a
poison that, while it was sure TO produce
death, yet was quite slow to bring about
the desired result. This poison she placed
in cool drink intended for the mahdi
and then gave the cup to her master He
psrtOok OF the draught from the hands of
his slave, never for moment dreaming
thai she was me&itating his murder.
Everything worked according to the girls
calculations. Shortly after the mahdi
bad drank his cooling drink the effects of
the poison began TO manifest themselves.
The Arab doctors were summoned to re-
lleve him, but all efforts were in vain. For
eight days the mahdi fingered, suffereing
ali the time, the most IeXcrcuiating agony
and torment before dea tn released him OF
bis pains.

SaEser et Home.

Some men are naturally Of an adven.
turous turn. They love the sight of new
things and enjoy spice of danger.
Others seem to be born stay-at-homes.
Ii they venture now and then into the
world they are glad to get back again
into their safe little corner Here is an
amusing story of an aged couple of this
the sights.
They stepped upon the southern end
of the drawbridge at Dearborn street
and were ad1niring steam tug which
was just then snorting up the dirty Chi
cago river. They did not notice a
schooner coming up behind them, and
when the warning bell of the bridge ten
der rang it might have been AN old fash
ioned summons to dinner, so far as they
were concerned.
A moment later the bridge was under
full swing. A startled look flashed from
the old mans eyes, while his wife scarce
ly repressed scream. They clung to
the railing, the bridge swung slowly in
behind the vessels and came to place,
leaving the old couple on the north side
of the river.
"Wel, yum" exclaimed the man.
''Don't that beat everythingf" said the
woman.
'Mandy"-and the cid mans voice
was full Of suppressed excitement
Mandy, we've just fell down seven
stories in that elevatin thing down at the
tavern, and now we've been slung right
across this here river. Pears you can't
trust your foot anywhere. Tne fust
thing you know we shall git onto some
thin that'l telegraph US right out of
Chicago. Wed better go home"
And they did by the next train.-Chi-
