TIE report that Mir Gladstone intends to side-track the Irish home rule matter for the purpose of giving precedence to certain social and political reforms which would apply to the United King dom, but more particularly to Eng land is probably a news spaper yarn. It would have been difficult for politi- cal leader to define his position more accurately than Mir Gladstone did in certain interviews and addresses that he made just prior to the late election. There can be no doubt that a man of less courage and determination would have yielded to the wishes of the repre- sentatives of the large and powerful labor organizations of England and would have affirmed that he would give equality of consideration to the claims of labor with the claims of home rule. At the time he had his interview with these labor representatives he was under the necessity of safeguarding his position by the procurement of as many possible votes as he could obtain; and yet with the temptation before him of gaining the labor support he resolutely and distinctly said that the question of home rule for Ireland was for him the one measure which must take pre- cedence of all others; that he was too old, his time of political activity toe short, and the work that he had done Tn the home rule cause through a series oi years too important to make it possible for him to yield in the least in its urgency. When, before an election
 such ground is taken, it is fair tc assume that it is not likely to be aban
 doned after the election is over.

There was lull, and the pretty dark

There was a lull, and the pretty dark eyed girl said slowly:
 "A wife is the envy of spinsters."
 ''One who makes 8 man hustle" was the next suggestion.
 "And keeps him from making fool of himself" put in another girl
 ''Some one for man to find fault with when things go wrong," said a sorrowful little maiden.
 "Stop right there," said the pretty school-teacher. 'That's the best defini- tion." Later the sorrowful little maiden sidled up to her and asked:
 "Aren't you going to marry that handsome man who calls for you nearly every day?"
 "Yes, dear," she replied, "but with us nothing will ever go wrong. He says so himself"

The pretty school-teacher, for little Advertisement, had asked her class for the best original definition of "wife," 7" and the boy in the corner had promptly responded: "A rib"

 "A helpmeet," put in little haxen- haired girl.
 "What kind of meat?" roared the boy in the corner.

Said That Is Why He Has
 Sailed for Europe.
TocoNFER WITH ANDREW CARNEGIE

Stated That He Has a Proposition from
 the Homestead Men to Their Late Elm
 ployer--Its Terms--SIr. Blaine Also Re-
 ported Interested.
 NEW YORK, July 28.-Hugh O'Don- nell, leader of the locked-out Homestead workmen, is now near this city and is awaiting the outcome of great efforts to win victory for his cause.
 The men are willing to compromise. An offer has already been made to them, on which they are willing to go back to work
 Chauncey NJ. Depew sailed for England yesterday on the White Star steamer Ma jestic, and it is considered certain that he took with him proposition from the locked -out men to Mir. Carnegie, to be deliv- cred to the great steel manufacturer as President Depew sets foot on English soil.
 The proposition for a cessation of the troubles provides that the workmen shall be given everything for which they have contended; will sign the reduced scale pro- posed by the Carnegie works, and will permit the scale agreement to expire in December instead of June, provided the Amalgamated Association of Iron and | Steel Workers is recognized as an associa- ton.
 This is the one thing that Manager Prick has said he will never do Before he was shot down he said he would never treat or | confer with the Amalgamated Associat tion as body again.
 That being the attitude of Manager Prick, the proposition of the workmen to | Mir. Carnegie is understood to include and | provide that Manager Prick shall retire | from his position as head of the company, | as the locked-out men are convinced he
 will never recognize their organization,
 and that therefore the only way to secure | recognition is to displace MT. Prick. The men understood to have undertaken the settlement of the trouble are James G. Blaine, ex-Secretary of State, a close
 friend of Mir. Carnegie, and Chauncey M. Depew, who sailed for England yesterday. l Numerous messages are said to have al
 ready passed between Mir. Carnegie and
 those interested in the settlement of the | strike. It is even said that direct com
 munication for that purpose has been es- l tablished, since the shooting of Manager
 Prick, between MT. Carnegie and this | side.

 He was exultant apparently as he clipped off the ends and then began working the machine from the neck up.
 ''Remember that bet?" he asked after he had the clipper fairly started.
 "What bet?" asked the man in the chair.
 'That s5 bet on the result of a ball game about a month ago"
 ''No"
 "Oh! well, never mind. If you've for gotten it of course it's all right" and the barber began to whistle lively air.
 He worked the clipper along the front and back of the head and then along the top. The work was artisti- per aside there was a fine long lock just above each ear.
 Remember that bet?" he asked.
 No. told you so once," returned the man in the chair.
 "All right. Let it go."
 The barber began taking off the apron and the long-haired man looked In the glass. He was long-haired in two large spots.
 Hold onr' he exclaimed. "What kind of a job do you call that2"
 "It's one of the most artistic have ever done. I'll bet those locks are pre- cisely the same in size and"
 But can't go out that way. T."
 The barber had a far-away look in his eyes as he said: That bet. I can't just recall"
 Hang the bet!" roared the man in the chair. 'I want the rest of my hair shingled." But the barber was still fig, uring on the bet. Ut was on a New York-Chicago ball game" he said, "but I'm not sure of the ! date"
 "See here! you don't expect me to gc | out on the street looking like this, dc you2" protested the customer.
 ''I think you'd attract a great deal o1 attention" said the barber. ''The game was played the latter part of May ol early in June, and remember that you lost"
 The man in the chair looked in the | glass again and then pulled out a five. dollar bill.
 You're right" he said. q recall ii now"
 "I thought you would," returned tht barber as he put the flve-dollar bill il his pocket and reached for the clipper again. Sometimes it requires grea deal to refresh a mans memory"

The Peach Crop Outlook.

TRENTON, N. J., July 2S.-New York and Philadelphia peach buyers, commis- sion men and dealers are enthusiastic over the outlook for the crop this year. Many representatives of these men are now tray cling through the peach districts of this State and Delaware, buying up orchards and their prospective yields. Estimates based upon the June drop" which is said to be the crucial test and which was not very large this year, show that there will be about a two-thirds crop. From present indications the fruit will be of a better quality this year than for long

WILL FIGHT TO THE END
Opponents of the Fair Appro-
 priation Very Bitter.
ITS SUPPORTERS ARE JUBILANT,

They Ca rry a Motion That tho House Re-
 Cede from Its Disagreement to the Sem
 ate eAmendment-- -Filibustering Prevents
 Further Proceedings.
 WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Representative Durburrow, of Chicago, H., chairman of the Columbian Exposition Committee, said this morning, that although he had sent out telegrams to many friends of the amendment to the Sundry Civil bill ap propriating 5000, 600 for the exposition, requesting them to come to Washington as soon as possible, he does not expect to get enough here to make quorum if the filibustering keeps up.
 He does hope, however, that some of the filibusterers will vote either for or against the measure, and thus make a quorum. He also says that the friends of the measure can stand the filibustering if the filibusterers can, and will fight the battle to the end.
 Representative Outhwaite of Ohio, who led the forces against the amendment in the House yesterday, said this morning to representative of the United Press that he and the gentlemen who are with him have made up their minds to fight it out to the bitter end, and If necessary, will stay in Washington until the snow flies before they will allow the appropriation to be adopted.
 MT. Outhwaite said that he is of the opinion that those members who are in favor of the appropriation will not be able to get quorum voting. He also said that ! it was his opinion, even supposing for an ! instant that the bill should pass with the | amendment that it would require an act | repeating the law of two years ago to make | the bill legal and enable the Worlds Fair people to draw the money from the Treas ury,

A wHkesbarre Miner Kills His Wife and
 Then Himself.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. July 2S.-A shock ing murder and suicide was committed here last evening by Alexander Eggleston, a m finer, who had been separated from his wife for the last six weeks.

He then pointed the weapon at his own head and fired. The ball penetrated his skull and death followed in twenty minutes. Eight chil- dren are left orphans because of jealousy and drink.
