Mr. Ferguson went back home. Mrs Fergu-

and had delivered everything she had ordered-
except the soap. 1t had been overlooked some
how.

kissing and Street Sweeping.

A German-American of Baltimore, now trav-
cling In the "old fatherland," sends the sun the
following from little hamlet in the Harz
mountains called Lonau, with the suggestion of
publishing it for the information of those
intrusted with the street-sweeping department
of his beloved adaptive city, Baltimore" 1t
is a clipping from German paper and reads ::
In .Lonau, Harz mountains, there formerly
existed a law according to which any single
man who desired to kiss a girl had TO obtain
previous permission from the mayor of the
place ANY unmarried couple convicted of
violating the law were obliged to sweep the
main streets OF the borough once a month for a
whole year. Their names were inscribed in a
book Kept at the rathhaus, Gown halt,) which
is still existing and Of enormous size. When
ever any lover wanted to find out whether a
certain girl had allowed herself to be kissed he
needed only to resort to the rathhaus and look
into the kiss register, Lonau's streets were
always scrupulously clean.

She Borrowed Baby McKee.

pleasant little story, with Mrs. Harrison
as the central figure, has been sent out by q
gossip writer from Washington. An impulsive
young matron went into a large clothing store
for men and boys to buy her husband a cravat
Her eye fell upon lot of boys hats selling
for this day only at reduced prices. She
straightway determined to buy one for her own
5year-old boy, but was somewhat hampered by
the fact that she had no recollection Of the size
required by the youth. AS she glanced about in
perplexity, a middle-aged lady entered leading
boy just about the size of the absent son. The
young mother darted over, asked breathlessly
for the loan Of the small boy, tried hat on his
head aud returned him with hurried word Of
thanks. all in the twinkling Of an eye. The mid

borrower turned to wait for her package The

BIaine,s Admirers In Maine.

Mr.. Blaiue's Maine friends say they will
not permit him to be shelved. They have
already began to talk about him for the
Senate, preparatory to making him candi-
date for the presidency In 1895.
1t is probable that Mr.. Blaine could be
elected to the Senate. Senator Hale's term
expires next March, and the legislature
elected next fall will choose his successor.
He ia not very popular with his party In
Maine. He spends comparatively little of
his time In that state. During the winter
he is in Washington and In the summer he
is In Europe
But would Mr.. Blaine consent to be
candidate for the Senatel II be should it
would be with the hope of being his party's
candidate for President in 1896.
There is not much probability, however,
that he will enter public life again. II he
is not convinced by what took place at
Minneapolis that he is no longer the popu-
lar idol he once was, he ought to be. Some
Of the men who were his chief supporters
now admit that Gen. Harrison is a much
stronger candidate than Mr.. Blaine would
have been.
Mr.. Blaine's political career is ended, and
the end OF it was rather inglorious His
following will gradually drop away from
him, and he is much more likely to be
very retired and very much neglected states
man in 1896 than a prominent candidate
for the presidential nomination Of his party,
and even now his friends are less numerous
than they were before he resigned from the
cabinet and permitted his name to be pre-
sented to the Minneapolis convention. The
more his conduct, during the latter part of
his connection with the Harrison cabinet, is
studied, the less popular will he be.

The Big Man in a Little Town.
From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
The car of all the Russias is declared to be an
autocrat,
Who, as a real harsh monarch, has his ruling
business down quite pat:
And there are other mighty men who govern
with an iron hand,
And who insist on being praised by every sub
ject in the land
But king, nor emperor, nor car, nor any other
potentate,
1t matters not how vast his realm, how glorious
his pomp and state;
It matters not how many gems may sparkle in
his royal crown,
Is half so great being as the big man In a
little town.
The big man in little town may never boast q
royal name
Nor noble blood, but what of that? Why
should he care from whence he came
Since all the earth is his to sell trade or gave
away or rent?
No wonder that this hollow life to him seems
rounded with content.
All classes and all ages know that he is wonder
fully wise,
And people come from far away to seek his val
liable advice.
IT'S said that in the lover there" they save for
him the brightest crown,
For nothing else would satisfy the big man from
little town.

Senator Wolcott of Colorado, worked Off
a fine bit of sarcasm a day or two ago dur
ing an interview upon the Minneapolis
nominations. A reporter asked him if
Colorado wished Whitelaw Reid for Vice
President "No," he replied, 1--WE wanted
Shepard, and were prepared to give him the
solid vote of the state. We thought the
administration was too giddy. SO We had
almost determined to give it a steady,
weighty balance wheel" The Shepard re-
ferred to is the editor of the New York
Mail and Express. and is notorious as the
craukiest fool friend the Republican party
has. Senator Wolcott's interview, upon
the whole, leaves the impression that he
will 90 home and help Colorado elect demo-
Gratis for every office from presidential elec-
tors down to county coroners.

The killing of a little girl by an electric
car in Atlanta day before yesterday should
be warning to Savannah parents and
guardians. That accidents on the electric
roads here are so few and far between is
due more to good luck and careful motor
men than the exercise of care by nurses
and, it may be said, by some mothers.
Along the South Broad street tracks yester-
day afternoon half dozen OF SO tots were
seen seated within q foot Of the rail making
houses in the sand, while their nurses were
chasing each other and playing "tag" on
the other side Of the grass plot. The
children were in such position that, had
a car got beyond control of its motorman
while approaching them, they would
almost inevitably, have been hurt and some
Of them probably killed. In the squares
along the Barnard street line nurses
frequently leave children to take care of
themselves, while they have frolio of
their own or talk with their beaus.
Mothers cannot be too careful in selecting
nurses for their children, nor too solicitous
for their safety while out with the nurses.

McKinley,s Alleged Disloyalty.

|
1t is said that Gov. Mckinley is no
onger pet OF the administr alton. Before
the meeting Of the Minneapolis convention
the administration would have done almost
anything for him. He was regarded as one
of the Presidents stanchest supporters.
The President depended so much upon him
that he asked the governor either to put him
in nomination or 70 second his nomination.
| The governor did not promise TO comply
with that request, but. it is said, he declared
| that he was anxious to see the President re-
| nominated, aud pledged him twenty-six Of
| Ohio's forty-six votes. The President placed
the most implicit confidence in him and re-
fused to believe any of the stories that Gov.
Mckinley was planning to get the nomina-
| tion for himself
1t appears the governors ambition got
the better Of his Judgment and made him
forget his promise to the President. When
the nomination was dsnged tantalizingly
before his face he made up his mind, it is
alleged, to grab it if he could There came
a time before the balloting began when the
opponents Of the President concluded they
could not nominate Mr.. Blaine, and they
decided to try to nominate Gov. Mckinley.
The governor did not tell them that he
would not accept the nomination. The only
thing he did that had showing of loyalty
to the President was to challenge the vote of
Ohio when it was cast for him, announcing
that he was a delegate and voted for Gen.
Harrison. There was. Of course, great APP
plause at what appeared to be the COVER
nor's loyalty to the President.
Now it Is said that he knew that the vote
of Ohio was to be cast for him and that he
entertained a hope of getting the nomi-
nation. He wanted 1t to 20 out to the
world, however, that he was true to Gen.
Harrison. even though there was a chance to
get the nomination for himself His action
in challenging the Ohio vote was, therefore,
q little piece of acting in which there was
no sincerity, and the purpose OF which was
TO mislead the public.
When the governor goes TO Washington
it is probable he will not visit
the President. II he should he
would not find bis reception quite
as hearty as he would like it to be- The
President undoubtedly has list Of those of
the republican leaders who attempted to
thwart his purpose in getting a renomina-
ton. And he appears to be particularly
hostile to Gov. Mckinley, for the reason,
doubtless, that the governor had promised
TO give him all the assistance in his power.
Men like Platt, Clarkson, and Quay openly
expressed their hostility to the President,
but Gov. Mckinley professed to be his
friend. II it be true that the governor is
guilty of treachery the President will likely
throw in the way of his ambition all the
obstacles he can.

A number of the big bosses of the Re-
publican party gave interviews on the
political situation to the press Saturday.
Those on the winning side are elated, of
course; but the beaten bosses are wofuIly
and awfully "blue." 1t is almost enough
to arouse democratic sympathy for them to
see how down-hearted they are. Vice
President Morton, with ''sorry-lump" in
his throat, wants to know why, if the adj

prominent figure in that administration :,

gasted that he tells the truth mechanically,
predicts that the Republican party Twill
lose ali Of the doubtful states" 1t may be
said that these forebodings are only the
croakings Of beaten politicians but it must
be remembered that Platt, Quay and Clark
son control large numbers of votes, aud
votes are the things that will count in No
