Is It monkey Nature ~

The initiative nature of the monkey character
ICES all human beings, says the St. Louis Re
public. l entered a well known drug store last
Saturday for the purpose of buying a glass of
soda water. Three gentlemen and two ladies
had preceded me Let's have something nice, y
her companion; what shall it be?'' "Well, let
me me see. How would you like strawberry"
''Ihats goodwill cream" IAN egg phos-
phate please" said one o the gentlemen. The
ladies watched its manufacture with apparent
interest,", and. when the clerk turned to
them for an order, both responded
promptly: An eggi phosphate, please" At
began at once to discuss their tipple By
unanimous consent they agreed to order
vanilla soda, What will you have. sir?" said
replied. The triumVirate of ladies' observed
the manner In which it was made and noted the
relish with which / swallowed it. And when
their turn came each of them spoke up in q
loud voice: Lemon phosphate, please ;" What
Is that but the initiative nature Of the monkey?
This sort Of thing is illustrated with equal
force at the restaurant, and will be corroborated
oy any experienced waltor. went into an eat
Ing house on Broadway the other day with the
sole purp So OF having a cup OF coffee and
tongue sandwich. When l was fairly seated
the waiter broughtto my Wis avis a schooner of
milk and a slice of apple pie. Do you know
what l did? Deliberately ordered the same
things, when five minutes before had imagined
that nothing short of a cup of coffee would
do we want?" said one lady to a group of
friends at another table well, let's have
pan roast, pickles, brown bread and coffee"
The rest concurred in the suggestion. "Your
der, MADAME" said the waiter at an adjacent
table. All the ladies turned their heads and
listened. Spring chicken, vegetables, tea and
ice cream" Perhaps you are not prepared TO
believe it, but when the waiter reached the first
group of ladies they solemnly repeated that
order, with just enough nOnchalancs TO show
that those were the Identical edoles for which
they had come. Curious, isn't it?

Irving to Stem The Tide.

The few democratic papers that are OPP
posing the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
pretend to find consolation in the ection of
the Massachusetts, democrats in refusing to
instruct their delegation to the Chicago con-
vention to support Mr.. Cleveland, and OF
the Indiana democrats in instrucEng their
delegation TO support ex-Gov. Gray II IL
should be found "inexpedient" to nominate
Mr.. Cleveland. Until Indiana chose a
Cleveland delegation they seemed to get
profound satisfaction out Of the assertion
that only republican states had selected
Cleveland delegations.
It Is evident that those papers are trying
to stem the ourgent Of public sentiment that
is running so strongly in favor OF MIR.
Cleveland. That they are not meeting with
any success is apparent and the people are
paying absolutely no attention to them,
but are going right on electing Cleveland
delegates.
While 1t is true that Indiana instructed for
ex-Gov. Gray as her second choice, she did so
as a compliment to him and not because she
had any doubt about the wisdom Of nomi-
mating Mr.. Cleveland. II the Cleveland
sentiment in Indiana were rot so over
whelming the Indiana delegation would
have been instructed for ex-Gov. Gray as
the first choice There is, therefore, no
capital to be made against Mr.. Cleveland
out of the fact that the Indiana delegation
is instructed to support ex-Gov. Gray if
Mr.. Cleveland cannot be nominated.
The Massachusetts convention adopted
resolution indorsing Mr.. Cleveland in the
strongest terms, but it did not instruct the
delegation 1t selected to go to the Chicago
convention, because it was not thought
necessary to do so. That the delegation is
for Mr.. Cleveland. however, nobody has a
doubt. Unless the newspapers opposing
Mr.. Cleveland can attack him with better
arguments than the foregoing it would be
much wiser for them to cease their opposi-
ton.
And there is absolutely nothing in the
argument that Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and other
states that have chosen Cleveland delega-
tions are republican states. The democrats
of those states have just as much right to
be heard as the democrats Of Georgia, and
are just as deeply interested in having good
government. They may not give demo-
cratic majorities for the presidential oandi-
date, butthey elect democrats to congress
who help to work up the democratic ma
jority of the House.
But Mr.. Cleveland's delegations are not
now all from republican states. Indiana is
as much democratic state as New York.
1t is a doubtful state, and so is New
York, and yet the organs Of Senator Hill
insist upon calling it a democratic state
simply because its delegation Is instructed
for him. None of the PROFESSIONALLY demo-
cratic states have acted yet, but when they
do the most of them will be found in the
Cleveland column. And, as for the republi-
can states, it looks as il about all of them
would choose delegations favorable to Mr..
Cleveland

a Curious Jury.

A curious coincidence happened In one of the
parts of the supreme court the other day while
jury was being impaneled to try case, says
the New York Tribune. The clerk gave the
wheel in which the names of the jurors had
been placed whirl and then pulled out a card
John Smith, he called out, and Immediately
two men started toward the jury box. This
caused no establishment, because with the in
Vulnerable John Smiths in the directory it was
not much wonder that two of them had been
summoned for the same jury. The card had the
address Of the John Smith intended, so this lit
tie difficulty Strengthened out easily enough
Then the clerk called out, George Rogers -
This time no less than four men responded to
the name. When the right George Rogers
had been secured from the qbartet
the clerk reached in once more
aud pulled out another card. This time
there were actually six men who responded to
the name OF John Brown. After the John
Brown identified by the address on the card had
been selected the work of completing the Jury
proceeded for few minutes until eleven men
had been secured. Then the clerk pulled out
one more slip to complete the jury. Jacob
Levy" the clerk called. 1t seemed as if every
man in the court house arose in response to
this name. The clerk counted them and there
was just an even dozen Jacob Levys who had
been summoned TO serve on that jury The
right one was picked out and took his place IN
the box, his honor remarkinS that all the labor
Of securing the jury one at a time might have
been avoided if the clerk had only picked out
Mr.. Leyy's name first.

An Urgent Case.

''M1lkman, please stop momentm
The lady came running down the front steps
in great haste, says the Chicago Tribune, and
the driver of the milk wagon stopped his horse.

''Yes'm. We make speciality of keepin'
nothin' but pure Jerseys"

''Some that give better milk than the rest?"
"Yes'm. -

Yes, we keep the milk from our freshest and
best cows in a separate can"
And charge more for it,"
why, it's like this you know We have reg
ular customers that's been takin' milk from us
for years, and if they want the milk from that
about the same figure as the other. Some of
them are particular you know. There's folks

want"
young baby-a very delicate baby-don't they
sometimes want the milk from one choice cow
unpiXed with any other?n
'Yes'm.m
Can you supply such milk as that?"
YES, but that costs considerably more than
the other milk. We only do it to Rccommo-
date. 1t makes good deal of trouble and we
have to keep it in glass jar. that holds about
two gallons that we got made especially to
order"

''Yes'm, but a baby can't possibly use q
quart OF such milk day to save its little"

1t has become "fad" with rich people to
Ego Summing" in the great cities-that is,
to go among the poor in tenement districts
for the purpose of seeing how they live.
Sometimes "slummers" go out for a good
purpose, but in the majority OF cases they
are prompted by curiosity solely. Now
daring Episcopal monk Of New York,
Father Huntington, proposes to give the
poor chance TO return the calls of their
more fortunate neighhors. He will organ
ize stunning" tour among the rich take
some Of his parishioners up among and into
the homes OF the "4O0'' and show them
what life is like in the so-called upper
circles. A number of wealthy families 1t is
said, have agreed to his scheme and will
lend him their aid. The majority OF the
rich, however. are not apt to relish any
such visit. They regard it as their right
to go and gaze upon misery in a cellar. but
will deny the right Of the poor to view affiu,
ence in palace.

In the neighborhood of Warren, Ark,
several days ago a negro was lynched by
suDerstitious mob on account Of the color of
his gums. There has always been a super
stition among certain classes in the south
that the bite Of "blue gum" negro is as
poisonous as that of a rattlesnake. This
belief is particularly strong among the ne
groes themselves, who fear and avoid a
"blue gum" Recently "bad" negro at
Warren got into fight with another bad"
negro and bit him through the hand. 1t is
alleged that within three hours the man
slckened and died. The bitter was put in
jail, and while in confinement somebody
suggested the "blue gum" idea. An exami-
nation was made and sure enough the.
color of his gums was blue. This was too
much for the ignorant masses; they con-
cluded that he was not safe to ae left alive,
80 they took him out and killed him. 1t
was negro affair, apparently, from first
to last.

The Jefsrsonian Coffee Pot.

If that sturdy old democrat. Thomas Jeffer-
son, had particular weakness it was his fond
ness for cup of good coffee.
So finicky was he in that respect, says the
New York advertiser. that he toted his own
special and exclusive coffee urn about with him
on his travels, and thatN1istinguisned article, a
little the worse for wear but still In the ring,
now occupies the place Of honor in the window
of a Broadway jeweer
1t was made for jefferson in 1887 in Paris
while he was acting as minister to the court of
France, and the family coat Of arms which
decks it was engraved at a later date in Eng
land.
The present owner is jefferson NJ. Levy o;
Monticello Va
In shape the urn follows the lines Of an
ancient Grecian vase and its design is peculiarly
chaste and beautiful. Toe faucet is OF ebony
but all the rest of the urn is made Of solid
silver, fact which shows that "Jeffersonian
simplicity" in the accepted sense, was not
over-rigid in its adherence to its own principles

coming Gen. Hampton to the meeting OF
the confederate veterans and Col. W. w.
Gordon's Introduction of the battle-scarred
veterans TO those assembled in front of the
confederate monument at the memorial
celebration yesterday will not be forgotten
soon by the old soldiers who listened TO these
two distinguished veterans They touched
the hearts of all who hesrd them. and re-
called so wildly scenes of the past that the
veterans seemed to see again the battle
field and camp fires. What they said will
doubtless bear good fruit. II will cause
renewed effortssto be made to bring together
those patriots Of the south who so well illus
trated valor on the battle field.

There is no secret about Alger's plan of
campaign and the manner in which he
manages to hold a small following. His
money ID his power in politics. 1t is said in
Washington that he is prepared to give as
surance to the Minneapolis convention of his
willingness to provide all the necessary CAM
paign fund himself if he is nominated. He
will have strong lobby on the ground in
his behalf, with money TO buy the votes
that go to the convention for sale. His
agents. it is said, have already been Laying
pipe" for the purchase of corrupt southern
delegates, who are always on the alert for
market in republican national conven-
tions. Alger's friends hope to make such a
showing of strength with the Michigan
delegation, purchased votes and a G. A.

to accept their man who will pay the

A rather curious life insurance case may
be presented to the Equitable Life Insur-
ance Company. N. B. Curtis, the actor,
who is under arrest In San Francisco
charged with numbering police officer
named Grant, has a $4,000 life insurance
in the Equitable company. One question is,
would the company have to pay the policy
to his heirs if be should be hanged2 Another
question is, would it have to pay the policy
to his heirs if he should be imprisoned for
life9 According to the decision of the En-
glish court In the case of Mrs. Maybrick
Curtis would be legal corpse from the day
life sentence was imposed upon him, and if
the courts OF this country should take the
same view the company would have to pay
the policy.

The H1droRraphic Office.

The interview published in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday with Lieut.. Sherman, of
the navy, who has charge Of the hydro
graphic Office at this port, shows that there is
danger of this city losing the Office 1t is
not improbable that Lieut.. Sherman will be
ordered elsewhere soon, aud it seems that
there is disposition on the part of the
navy department not to send another officer
here to take his place, for the reason that
the benefits of the office do not appear to be
appreciated,
1t may be that the business men Of the
city have not shown the appreciation of the
Office thoy should, not because they are not
alive to everything that tends to benefit the
port, but because the advantages Of the by
geographic Office are not the kind likely to
attract their attention in way TO elicit ex-
pressions Of approval Of them.
In the interview with Lieut. Sherman the
statement is made that vast amount of
work is done by the office that is helpful to
shipping interests, and which tends to make
Savannah known throughout the com-
mercial world. Last year 10000 notices
were issued to mariners, and information of
a very important character was supplied
directly TO more than 1000 persons. A very
large number Of charts were circulated and
over 600 vessels were visited and informa>
ton supplied and obtained upon maritime
matters
And sesmen are not the only ones who
find the Office helpful one. Lumbermen,
railroad officials and others are kept in
formed by it upon matters relating to their
| respective businesses. The Abandonment of
the Office or the removal of it to another
city would be considerable loss to Savan-
| nah. Steps should be taken at once, there
fore, to impress upon the navy department
that the value of the office is well understood
here, and that there is desire among bust
| ness men that If Lieut.. Sherman should be
transferred to another field of labor another
officer should be appointed to succeed him
\ here.

W. Va, was thrown into state Of excite

an lS-year-old BELLE One night she leaped
from ferryboat into the Ohio river and

discover her body. and she was given up for

paradoxical as it may seem. not leap in

The Third Party in Louisiana.

The Peoples party promised to do great
things in the recent state election in Louisi-
ana. Its leaders made good deal of noise
and endeavored TO create the impression
that little hard work was all that was
necessary to enable it to carry the state
AS matter of fact the vote it polled was
discouragingly small. The total
vote cast was 174,652 The
Peoples party had full state ticket in
the field and only succeeded in polling $500
votes If that was a sample of what the
Peoples party can do in the south there is
not much reason for thinking that national
ticket of that party would stand much
chance of carrying any southern state.
The truth is, that in this and other south
ern states The strength of the Peoples party
is greatly overestimated. In spots it is con-
siderable. but it is nothing like as great as
it is represented to be. The leaders Of the
Peoples party have an idea that they can
help their party by claiming for it much
greater strength than it really has, because
there are many who will vote for the party
they think is the strongest. without regard
to its principles.
4utE0 ID INV tuAh Az w holAuRbOu VI LINK
ing Senator Teller, of Colorado, the presi-
Dental candidate OF the Peoples party, and
Col. Polk, the head of the national farmers
alliance, its candidate for Vice President,
upon platform having but
one plank-a plank providing for
the unlimited coinage of both sill
yer and gold. 1t is alleged by friends of
Senator Teller that he would accept the
nomination upon such q platform. 1t is
probable, however, that there is nothing IN
this talk. 1t is true that Senator Teller is
very much in earnest in his advocacy Of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver. In
a speech in tho Senate the other day he told
his republican colleagues that il the Repub>
ican party persisted in its opposition to the
free coinage of silver 1t could not count
upon the electoral votes Of Colorado and
Nevada. That threat, however, is not re-
garded by the republican leaders as alsrm-
ing. The number of electoral votes of the
two states named 10 not sufficiently great to
justify change Of party policy to secure
them.
II Senator Teller should be asked to &C.
cept the nomination of the Peoples party for
President he would hesitate a long while be =
fore giving an affirmative answer. if, In fact,
he would give an answer of that kind at all.
A glance at the vote Of the Peoples party
in Ohio last fall and in Louisiana last week,
the silver issue being prominent in each
state, would convince him probably that he
could not garry q single state. Such pros
pect would hardly tempt him to sever his
relations with the Republican party.

nah with the Kearsarge during Merchants
week. They will sail from Key West for
this port on May 4. The Philadelphia is the
flagship of the North Atlantic squadron,
commanded by Admiral Gherardi. 1t Is
possible that the Newark and the
Vesuvlus will come also. The pres
ence of the ships will be one Of the most
interesting features of the week and will no
doubt attract great many visitors to the

o, Moon, Don't Tell.
From the Chicago NetCs.

o, moon! did you see
My lover and me
In the valley beneath the sycamore tree?
Whatever befen,
O, moon don't tell;
Twas nothing amiss, you know very well.
o, moon, you know,
Long years ago
You left the sky and descended below.
OF summer night
By your own sweet light
You met your Endymion on Patmos hight
And then, o moon!
You gave him boon
You wouldn't, I'm SURE, have granted at noon
Twas nothing amiss,
Being only the bliss
OF giving--and taking-an innocent kiss.
Some churlish lout
Who was spying about
Went OF and biabted, and so It got out;
But for all the gold
The sea would hold
o, moon 4 wouldn't have gone and told.
So, moon, don't tell
Whatever befen
My lover and me in the leafy dell.
He is honest and true,
And remember, too,
He only behaved like your lover and you.
