ONE of the latest of the endowment orders to come to public notice is the American Protective league, whose members are charged with squandering and misappropriating the orders funds. This last is a five year order, and it has existed three years. There are 5,562 certificates outstanding, with $2, ,7S1 ,000 due and only $1O1, ,S7s on hand to meet the obligation. But $1O,0OO of this sum is in Suffolk Trust company stock, which is not only worth nothing, but involves an obligation of $2O,OOO, the company having gone to pieces. Large sums, it is shown by the accounts, have been spent by the officers in salaries and expenses mainly incurred in influencing legislation.

Napoleon's Carriage.

The carriage in which Napoleon I. made his famous retreat from Moscow, and in which he, as emperor general, set out from Paris in the campaign which closed at Waterloo, is now pre- served in London by the trustees of the Wellington estate, the relic having formerly been the property of the ''Iron Dule.'' It is a two-seated con- veyance, with the top and sides lined with iron; there is also a front ''cur- tain" of iron that can be raised and lowered at will. The wheels are large and heavy, and the steps are finished with curious battle designs done in silver. The emperor used the back seat, and kept his pillows and blanket under it. The back of the front seat was used as cupboard, and was pno- vided with all sorts of culinary articles and small spirit or oil stove.

Alarmed About the Germans.

A Chicago special to the New York Staats Zeitung says: "Yesterday the Re- publican state central committee sent a letter to every prominent German-Amer- ican Republican in the country urging him to come to Illinois and take the stump, asserting that unless that is done the Germans will desert the Re- publican party almost en masse. The information from the counties having large German populations is so disheart- ening and so many delegations are daily storming the state committee beseech- ing aid that the committee today de- cided to at once telegraph to Consul General Gunther, who is at present at his home in Wisconsin, to come at once to Illinois and to begin work among the Germans before it is too late."

THE democratic request for consti- tutional convention is proof positive that the party possesses the courage to express it's convictions. The claim of the party is that the people of the cities and large towns of the state are not properly represented in the general as- sembly. The borough system which makes no provision for the growth of the cities is wrong, and the proposed constitutional convention is intended to give the voters of the state..an opportu- nity to express their views on the mat ter; to give the democratic voters a chance to argue the question with those whose partisanship has blunted their sense of justice.

THE DOGS DECISION.
A Lawsuit Decided to the Discomftura
 of the Two Litlgants.

A Lawsuit Decided to the Discontinue
 of the Two Litigants.
 A slight variation of the story about the dog which is claimed by two per sons and which IS allowed to decide between them, and goes straight to his rightful master, putting the thief to shame, has been recorded by the news papers of the town of Projestienten, in Hungary. It appears that a hard working knife grinder came to the police authorities of the town, and re- ported that rag picker had stolen his dog and still had him.
 The matter was looked into, and it was found that the rag picker had in his possession splendid dog of the va riety known as the Great Dane, of which he could give no satisfactory ac- count.
 The case was brought into court, and the judge decided that the dog himself should settle the matter.
 The two claimants were placed at each end of long table. The dog was led in by bailiff, and held by a string at point between the judge and the table, and exactly half way between the two claimants.
 The judge then clapped his hands three times, and the two men began to whistle vigorously to the dog. At the same instant the bailiff loosed the animal.
 The Great Dane looked at the rag picker, then at the knife grinder; then at one bound he cleared the table, rushed down an aisle of the court room and dis appeared through the door, to the astonishment of the court and specta- tors.
 The fact was that the dog belonged to neither of the contestants, but to a gentleman to whose house he went straight from the court room. He had been stolen successively by both the knife grinder and the rag picker.

IT has been reported that in Berlin the cholera has been successfully treated by injections, anemas, with chloride of sodium-that is, common salt. Some American physicians have argued that salt is such very common thing, any good effect from it's use in this connection is not to be expected, and is absurd. But who can decide any such question without experiment Most of the specifies that have been dis covered in nature are of the very com monest sort. It is worth a trial at all events.

The Business Standard.

Society at large is in doubt as to where a mans character and motives are put to the severest test, but if a business man is questioned on the sub ject he will say about anyone, whether stranger or acquaintance, pauper or millionaire: "Let me see him in busi- ness and will know what to think of him"
 It seems like a selfish answer, writes John Habberton in the Chautauquan, but it is not. Business is neither religious, sentimental, nor philan- thropic, and yet when the true character of a man is to be ascertained there is no quicker or surer way of doing it than to consult his business acquaintances. If the man is not smart they may pity him; if unfortunate. they will sympathize with him, for in the battle of life the successful man gets enough hard knocks to be able to understand why some less able man is knocked over. Regarding personal honesty, however, and the respect which man really has for the rights and property of his fellows, business life is a standard of comparison which seldom fails.

It's just about time he did. The boy who is in one of our handsome $3 suits when school opens will be somewhere near the head of his class when school closes. You cannot improve on these suits anywhere in America for either style, durability or price. They'll come pretty near lasting until your boy out grows them, no matter how hard he may be on clothes. They cost no more than suits which, in week will go to pieces in the play ground, and they won't look un- presentable when finally discarded. In other words, they are built to stand tbe racket and it doesn't make much differ ence how rough the racket is. Just as durable, well designed and inexpensive are our suits at $1.50, $2, $4, $5, $6.

IT takes but very small thing to snuff out human life at times. The other day a Pittsburgh man got a crumb of bread into his windpipe, which brought on fit of coughing fol- lowed by hemorrhage, and he died in few minutes. The man had served through the late war and was strong and healthy, but crumb of bread proved more deadly than bullets and bayonets.

posted In the corridor OF the hotel. An
enormous crowd gathered about the
bulletin and read it eagerly.
After circulating about the corridors
for a few minutes encouraging Mr.. Har-
rison's friends, General New returned to
the national committee rooms and shut
himself in. His son, Harry G. New, the
editor of the Indianapolis Journal, said:

that Ne had.

was passed along. Itbecame the phrase
Of the afternoon. A few minutes later
q dispatch was received telling Of the
endorsement on the correspondence.
This was posted under the other bulle-
tins, and gavs the crowd more food for
discussion. Up TO the time Of the an
nouncement of Blaine's resignation there
had been much talk, but little shouting.
The bulletins were posted Just as the
Michigan delegation arrived. They
wore yellOw badgss with pictures OF

Mr.. Bialnes trends are assuring the in
structed delegates that the instructions
were given at a time wnen Mr.. Blaine
was not considered possibility and that
the changed conditions warrant them in
exercising their own judgment. Another
plan discussed by the anti Harrison peo-
pie is to put Blaine formally before the
convention and split the vote Of the dele
gates, leaving the balance of power in
the hands of some one like Alger, to
whom the anti Harrison men could turn
from Mr.. Blaine. But the feeling that
there Is more prof. Blaine than anti-Har-
risop sentiment in the convention, makes
this slan seem weak to many of Mr..

a the Washington correspondent of
the St. Paul Globe is telling the truth,
though, there is such man. A special
y the Globe from Washington says:
Father Cronin, editor Of the Catholic
Unt0n, of Buffalo, had an extended con-
fereilce with Secretary Blaine. He came
here upon the latter's invitation. At the
ciusion of the conference he said:
Blaine win accept the nomination be-
yona . doubt. His mind is positively
made up. There is only one thing
which gives hini any uneasiness. It is
whether he ought to resign his seat
Ia the cabinet. Mrs. Blaine has had a
great deal to do with his determination
to accept. She and he are confident that
his health is strong enough for him to
make the contest. He viii not only ac-
cept the nomination--he
Fully Expects to Receive It.
He sent for me, fearing that his letter
TO Father Ducey might be the means of
alternating the Roman Catholic vote, and
wanting my opinion. I told him that the
Republican Catholics would not be in
fuenced by the letter, nor will they.
The real reason he refused to accept the
nomination four years ago was because
he feared that the party would surely
suffer defeat. He does not think SO this
time He believes that the Democrats
will nominate Cleveland, and he feels
sure that he can defeat him or any other
candidate the Democrats may select.

ton. This is all that Clarkson and his
friends have claimed from the

depression and to give them cheer and

NIT that the situation has changed or
that the prospects Of the president have

garding Blaine's intentions are attri-
