The general impression in Washington
OF Mr.. Harrison's valedictory message 10
Congress is that the President had
learned nothing and forgotten nothing
except the Force bill. 1t is sign OF some
capacity to rise above his dyed-in-the-wool
Bourbonism that he should have forgotten
that. 1t may be that now that he has
made a start in learning something of the
popular will, he will keep on until lie be-
comes a regular Tariff Reformer I'm
fortunately, though, Mr.. Harrison cannot
appreciate the fact that the war is over,
and therefore he will always be more or
less of q. bloody shirt waver and a mar
row-minded sectionalist.

a tall, wiry man, with a trailing mus
tache, good-humored eyes and a pleas
antly modulatcd voice. sat in the gal
lery of the Binkley House at Sherman.
He is the sheriff of Grayson county-a
born sheriff, without fear, devoted to
his duties. Lee NIcAiee has just made
himself famous by standing out success
fully against a mob. When men were
being lynched in New York State and
Indiana. and all over the country there
was popular revolt against letting the
law take its course, Lee McAfee faced
l 900 angry Texans and saved negro
from summary vengeance. If ever a
wretch deserved Il quicl, death this one
did. He had assaulted a woman, and
in carrying out his purpose had knock
ed tfc husband scnsclcss and had beat
en- the children nearly TO death The
brute was caught with his bloody
clothes upon him.
Armed with shot-guns and Winches-
tiers, the people marched to the jail and
demanded the prisoner. McAfee look
ed into the desperate faces and shook
his head. He did not doubt the negro
richly deserved death, but it was his
duty to hold the negro for court. and
he would Try to do it. even if he died in
the attempt. The mob backed down
before as fine an exhibition Of courage
as the State of Texas ever saw. Aud
that is saying q great deal.

hand, but the leader, who was Il match
for the dauntlcss sheriff, was not there.
When the examination had brought
out the whole revolving story, the mob
Mt once moved to the Jail and demand
ed the surrender. McAfee made the
crowd q little talk.
81 see before me- he said, ':men who
voted for me with the understanding |
was to perform all the duties of sheriff
of Grayson county. ! took the oath to
perform those duties, and / gave bond

to protect this prisoner and I'm going
to do it, though it cost me my life and

desire is that this prisoner shall get
legal trial before twelve of your citi-
zens. propose to see that he gets it.
Then if you say hang him, I'll hang
him. am willing he shall be hanged

The mob stood awhile looking into
that resolute face, and, Texans though
they were, they turned away. The
cause was least worthy, but the MA

The Election.

The exact vote of Virginia cannot be
ascertained until the 2Sth ofthis month,
when the State canvassing board meets
to receive the returns The Eighth dis
trict gives about the largest democratic
majority. The electors will assemble
at the capitol on the 1st Wednesday in
December TO cast their votes for Cieve-
land and Stevenson.
Kansas has been changed from the
republican to the Weaver column and
will give the candidate about 5000 plu-
rality.
The Montana Legislature is republi-
can.
Washington's republican plurality
will reach 5000.
The republicans will have majority
in the Michigan Legislature on joint
ballot.
The fusionists will control the North
Dakota Legislature. So Mr.. Casey,
rep, will probably lose his seat in the
{. S. Senate.
Latest returns from New York State
give Cleveland n 1894. New York city
gave Mr.. Cleveland 76, 125 plurality.
Alabama elects solid democratic del
egalion to Congress, SO MIR. Cobb is not

In the Nebraska Legislature the pop

THE AcUTENEss OF THE RAVEN
Most animals are no match at all for
the ravens cleverness. There was once
poor hare that allowed herself TO be
completely bamboozled. The raven
bounced at the leveret-as the baby
hare is callcd-but the mother drove
the rascal away.
But did the raven cease from troub-
ling? Not Il bit of it. He slowly re-
treated, encouraging the hare to follow
him up, and pretending even that he
was afraid of her. In this fashion lie
led the unhappy mother to consider,
able distance from her young one, and
then, all of 4 syddcn-long before the
hare had time TO realize the danger of
the trick-rose in theair, flew swiftly
back, caught the leyeret in his beak,
and bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from u
dog. They teased him till he grew so
angry that he chased them away from
the spot But the wicked birds turned
sharply round, easily reached the dish
before him, and carried off the choice
bits in triumph.
As to the ravens power of speech
the following story, which is given on
the authority of Captain Brown, who
vouches for its truth, will show how
aptly it can talk
A gentlen IAN while travelling through
a wood in t'le south of England was
suddenly alarmed by hearing a shout
of Fair play, gentlemen! fair play J"
uttered very earnestly, in loud tones.
The Cry being repeated presently, the
wayfarer thought it must proceed from
some one in distress, and at once began
to search for him. In due course he
came upon q pair of ravens attacking a
third in the most brutal manner. he
was so struck with the oppressed birds
appeal that he rescued it without de-
lay.
1t turned out that the DULLES victim
was tame raven belong ing to house
in the neigi ,borhood. Ha .ppily it knew
how to use the catchwords that it had
so adroitl' J learned.-Littlc Folks Nag

The county aims house, situated NJ
Sugar Greek, four miles north oiFranll-
lin, Pa, took fire about l:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. All the means at
hand were used to handle the fire, but
without avail. and the lire departments
of Oil City and Franklin were sent to
the scene By special train. But the fire
had glined such Roadway that they
could do little, and the building was al
most totally destroyed, together with
most Of its contents.
There were some terrible scenes in
the rescue of the inmates There were
about one hundred of them, many be-
ing helpless. Had it not been for the
prompt, vigorous and courageous meth
dds adopted, in many cases there would
have been lives lost. The ground was
covered with snow and Il bitterly cold
wind was blowing. The wretchedly
clad paupers, many of them feeble and
ailing, suffered dreadfully.

to have been inccndiary There have been
reports sent out that several of the inmates
had been burned in the building, but Super

were no fatalities or even severe injuries
