May 10, 1888, Mr.. Hoey was elected presi-
dent of the Adams Express company, which
position he held until Oct. 49, 1891, when
he was displaced by the directors. The
charge against Mr.. Hoey was malfeasance
in office. At first he determined to make a
fight, but sense of the ingratitude dis
played and the death of his old friend
William b. Dinsmore, the former president
of the company, caused him to accept the
inevitable, He never recovered from the

In the house the Democratic majority

as the Democrats never had in a presi.
Dental year. The Democrats thought il

No political party in this country, ex-
cept the Democratic party, founded as 1t
is on the basic principles of the American
republic, has eyer survived landslide
like that of last Tuesday when it was on
the underside of the slide. The Demo
Gratis suffered the defeat of 1910, but
twelve years later they crushed their
adversaries, Scott and the party, beneath
a defeat that left the old party of Clay
and protection not leg to stand on and
within eight years it had ceased to exist.
The Republican party is now thirty-six
years old. 1t outlived its usefulness
soon after the war, but the possession
and use of the Federal machinery and
the vivid memory of the issues of the
war, of which it got the Instruct sufficient
to keep it in power until its aims and
objects changed, and an unholy alliance
with tariff monopoly, disgusted many of
its most distinguished members until
they deserted it this campaign as the
rats desert sinking ship, while the
people rose up in their wrath and ad-
ministered to it the most sweeping and
far-reaching defeat in the history of
American politics. 1t remains to be
seen whether the Republican party will
now shut up shop and quit.-Phila

One of the members of the regiment

The incident occurred in very cold
weather, and at an important crisis.
"At nighttime" said the narrator,
"when we pickets arrived at the out
posts Captain Wood said, 1T is too severe
for the men to face this storm all night
There was a small house close by, and
the captain directed that we should build
fire in it and shelter ourselves as best
we might.
1--WE did so, and weary with march
ing and lulled by the warmth we all fell
fast asleep. When the officer of the
grand rounds came our way he found a
regular Sleepy Hollow.
"Of course we were reported, and in
the morning we were summoned to head
quarters. Naturally we were terribly
frightened, for sleeping ON picket is a
serious offense.
"We were ushered into General Viii.
sons tent. He sternly repeated the
charge. Had we been guilty of sleeping
on our posts? We had. 1t would have
been useless to attempt any explanation,
but Captain Wood, who was present, an

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Nov. 15.-The cause of

JOHN HoEY PASSES AWAY.
Death of the Adams Express Company's
Ex-President.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-John Hoey, ex-
president of the Adams Express company,
died at 1910 p m. Monday in his rooms at
Delmonico's. Bright's disease was the i'm
mediate cause of death. 1t had been pre-
cipitated by severe cold which Mr. Hoey
had taken several days ago.
John Hoey was born in Drogheda, near
Dublin, Ireland, Feb. IA, 1926. When eleven
years of age he worked his way across the
Scean and landed in New York friendless,
ragged, barefooted boy. After suffering
eyere hardships he secured position as

cause of the Chinese trouble.

Secret societies extend all over the
Chinese empire, and their name is legion.
They are semireligious, and have, as a
rule, the power of life and death over
their members. The Triad society is one
of the strongest. 1t was the cause of a
great rebellion in northwest and middle
China at the beginning of this century,
and its object then was to overthrow the
government. This rebellion lasted eight
years. 1t caused the devastation of the
provinces in which it went on, and there
was much bloodshed.
The secret societies were mixed up in
the Tai-Ping rebellion, which very nearly
resulted in the overthrow of the Manchu
emperor. 1t is said that the present
troubles are largely due to these secret
societies. Some of them have their
members in every province of the en-
pire, and they embrace the Cinnamon
living at Singapore, San Francisco and
all other parts of the world. Every one
has heard of the Highbinders of San
Francisco, who have their courts and
punishments, and are the terror of the
Celestial colony there.-Frank G. Car

A well dressed lady with her Little Lord
Fauntleroy son approached the door

stood by the door.
"Open the door or I'll punch your
head" exclaimed Fauntleroy in very
swagger voice, and the official, amused
by the six-year-old's audacity, consented
to become doorkeeper for the occasion
and complied.
The mother showed that she was angry
as she swept through the door, and as it
closed she seized Fauntleroy by the
shoulders and shook him severely.

Dieting and the Complexion.

Sometimes a strictly vegetable and
fruit diet, avoiding carefully all butter
and vegetable fats, will purify the COM
plexion when the most careful regime
in bathing and all the prescriptions of
the physician are of no avail. Such diet
ing need be adhered to for only few
weeks and then one may go back gradu-
ally to ones ordinary diet, remembering,
however, that an abundance of rich
pastries, cakes and sweetmeats, eaten
promiscuously between meal times, will
tend to ruin the very best complexion IN
the world.-Exchange.

One Way of Advertising.

One of the meanest and most heartless
of advertising tricks consists in sending
round to peoples houses, and especially
to ladies, advertisements in telegraph
envelopes, or in envelopes which initiate
them so closely that no one supposes that
they are anything else until they are
opened. Saturday evening-it was in the
evening, let it be noted, when ordinary
messages are hardly expected-a lady of
the Listeners acquaintance, who had
been very i'll, received one of these mis-
sives. She is weak and broken, and
being summoned to receive what she
supposed to be a Geographic message
gave her severe shock. A worse case
than this is an actual one of sea cap
tain's wife who lives in an outlying por-
ton of the city. The captains ship has
been long overdue, and all the people of
the neighborhood sympathized with the
wife in her agonizing suspense. There
came call to the door for message
and the lady answered it with her heart
in her mouth.
She tore open the supposed telegraph
envelope, only to read the message, ''You
are wanted Immediately at fremont
street to test the merits of the new -
sewing machine" Naturally everybody
in the neighborhood is indignant, and
such an advertisement is certainly bad
policy, for there is not a family there
about who would purchase sewing ma
chine of the make advertised if any
other kind was to be had. Perhaps q
like feeling of indignation, stirred up il
many neighborhoods, will have the effect
to put an end to this offensive ant
mischievous kind of advertising, which
no reputable firm, it would seem, would
engage in.-Boston Transcript.

Remedies of Chinese Trades Unions.


The trades unions of China resort to
terrible remedies in order to carry out
their ends. heard of case in Shang-
hal where an employer did something
contrary to the rules of the guild of his
workmen. His men objected, but he re-
fused to accede to their demands, and
they concluded to make an example of
him. He had more than 100 men work
ing for him. These at a concerted sig
nal sprang upon him and commenced
biting him. They had leader, and this
leader would not let one of the men 60
away from the place without showing
his teeth, and if the teeth and gums were
bloody he was allowed to go out.
The plot was gotten up on the basis
that there was do capital punishment in
China for biting. They bit the man to
death and the matter came to the ears of
the government. There was a little
fuss about it, but the guild was stroug
one, and only the man who took the first
bite was punished. The punishment of
members within the guild for acting
contrary to its rules are equally terrible.
