His Opinion Of Wagner.

Abijah Stone was Vermont farmer
who had great fondness for horses.
He often said that "thaout no disre-
spect t human bein's, it did appears eff
some bosses he'd full as much sense as
tn common run o folks" His CONVEX
sation was tinged by this belief, and he
drew many an illustration from his fav-
orite animals. On one occasion this
habit Of his was the cause of much con-
fusion to a young man to whom Mr..
Stone was talking.
The young man was a professional
musician who had been spending part
of the summer at neighboring farm
house, and had had the audacity to fall
in love with Mr.. Stones pretty daughter
Jenny. He was listening to the farmers
various reasons for opposing his suit
one summer evening, just before his re-
turn to the city.
"For one thing" said Abijah Stone,
'you like all kinds O new tangled mu-
sic, an want T. be playin it all tn whole
durn time; naow my Jenny, she'd ruther
hear Home, Sweet Home, or somethin
o. that gen'ral style"
"Ah," said the pianist, blandly but
firmly, Il should educate your daugh-
ter's musical taste, Mr.. Stone. should
lead her gradually from simple melodies
up to the great Wagner"
"Was that piece you played t. tn con-
cert in Taown hall by Mr.. Wagner"
interrupted Abijah.
at was" replied the pianist, with a
glow of reminiscent pride in his late per-
Torrance.
'Wel, then" said Mr.. Stone, with a
peculiar expression at the corners of his
mouth, you might lead my Jenny up t.
him, young man, but I'm inclined t.
think she'd be apt t baIk b'fore you got

The soliciting committee for the
Presbyterian University yesterday be-
gan a vigorous canvass for additional
subscriptions to the endowment fund
OF the proposed institution. A defin-
lite proposition has been made to the
committee by Rev. Laidlaw, and de-
termined effort is being made to meet
its conditions. To secure the location
Of this great institution on Bellingham
bay the already large endowment fund
must be increased, and it will be nee
essary for many who have not yet con-
tributed to give, and for some who
have subscribed to go down again. The
endowment fund demanded by Mr..
Laidlaws proposition could easily be
raised in twenty-foHr hours If the citi-
zens of Bellingham bay realized the
magnitude of the institution it is pro-
posed to establish and the advantages
they would derive from its location
here. Several additional subscriptions
were received yesterday. The canvass
will be actively prosecuted for several
days. Mr.. Laidlaw expects TO depart
the latter part of next week, and il is
hoped that he can go with the assur-
ance Of the necessary funds having
been subscribed.

They are hard put to it for whisky in
Great Britain When cask of spirit
has been emptied it is filed with water
and soaked for several days. The water
absorbs the whisky that has previously
been soaked into the barrel head and
slaves and holds it in dilution. The
spirit Is then extracted from the water,
and from one to three gallons of pure
whisky is obtained. This way of soak.
ing out whisky seems the proper thing
for old soakers.

A ship canal, which should connect
the great lakes with the Mississippi
river, has long been one of the projects
of those who foresee the wonderful en-
cheering and mechanical achievements
to be accomplished in this republic. And
now the work on this waterway, the
Hennepin canal, is actually begun. A
few years will see its completion. Be
sides its incalculable advantages to the
transportation business of the country it
could be utilized to excellent purpose in
case of war along our northern borders.
1t would furnish uninterrupted passage
from New Orleans to the lakes by inte-
rior waterway.

Fifty million dollars will not cover
the loss by food in the west and north
west. The states of Iowa. Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and parts of Minnesota
and Kansas are chiefly affected by this
awful food, as disastrous as that which
swept the Ohio valley in 1884, and
damaging greater extent of country
than that did. No food known in the
west ever equaled this in volume of
water, or for loss of life and property.
Meantime the east has been subjected to
a visitation no less disastrous 80 far as
loss was concerned. That is the stone
cutters strike. At one time nearly f00,-
900 have been idle. The loss to those
affected by this strike is not less than
$3.50, 900 for every day the strike is on.
Some of the strikers propose starting a
cooperative quarry, while in other cases
employers have offered workmen a Co
operative share in the profits. Signs at
least point to some sort of cooperative
system as one outcome of the strike.

The Boys Who Never Came Back.

The Boys Who Never Came Back.
In New England the annual fast day
that which "Old Pills." as one of theh
descendants irreyerently calls them, de
signed to be spent in humiliation anc
prayer, without much eating, has be
come one of the merriest holidays of all
the year. Baseball and good dinners
are distinguishing feature. The day
is given to recreation and pleasure.
SoDecoration Day, May 80, twenty-five
years ago the saddest, solemnest of all the
year, is being transformed. 1t is at the
season when all outdoor sports are at
their best. Splendid athletes in running,
walking, rowing and cycling get the
day off for their practice, Walking
clubs take it for health bringing pedes-
trian trips. In the evening there is good
cheer, followed by amusements and So
cial pleasures. Little is left of the old
time May 80, when, clad in their mourn
ing robes-more than half the women
in the land wore mourning then-ladies
went sadly to the open churches, where
sacred memorial services were held. At
the close, grave professions kept step
with the sound of funeral marches to the
cemeteries, and flowers were sadly placed
upon the green beds of the fallen in bat
tie.
Little of it remains to the eye of the
present generation, and it is well, for
the sadness of those days was almost
overwhelming. But in the hearts of
those who remember that old time,
there are vacant inches which cannot
be filed, The youths of this generation
are gallant and handsome, none good
lier to look on. Yet those who remember
carry hidden away in their hearts the pic
lures of those who were Drawer and good,
lier still. If these had lived to fulfill their
lives they would have been statesmen,
orators and poets. Fame would have
cast her wreath upon their brows, his
tory would have chronicled the good
they wrought to mankind. However
generous, strong, beautiful and gifted
the boys of today are, these boys who
never came back were more gifted and
beautiful still.
Mostly in the hearts of tender, unfor-
getful women live those radiant heroes.
Gentle, gray haired matrons, once the
lively, rosy sweethearts of those who
marched gayly out. gun on shoulder, and
never returned, sit in the twilight and
think-they cannot help it to this day
Of how different life might have been.
Perhaps in time they welded others, and
are mothers of lads as comedy as those
who went away. yet, true wives though
hey be. in their souls is one shrine to
which none may enter-the shrine that
S sacred to the soldier who never came
back.
Others. too. fathers, children, teach
ers and friends who are old enough to re-
call war times, have recollections of gal
LIANT lives cut off in their flower. Such
make the heart always ten
derer, purer and more unworldly. And
the saddest fact of this grand new time
which Is ON us Is that each year there
are fewer who remember personally

Brutal Murder of 7.Year-Old Child

COLUMBIA, S. c., March T.
Mrs. Addie Beacham left her seven
months old baby sleeping in the
house and stepped out. After she
had gone Bud Harris, a little five
year old negro boy, who lives next
door, slipped in, carrying a bent
and heavy piece of iron, with a
sharpened point, with which he re-
peatedly struck the infant on the
head. Seeing the blood squirt every
where, he fed to the yard. The
child's mother, having heard the
screams rushed back to the house
to find the infant saturated in blood
and dying. The boy murderer was
found sitting at the front gate dig
ging holes in the ground with the
bloody weapon. He frankly con
fessed the deed.

IN the name of Democracy, endeav- |
oring to redeem one of these pied ges
to the people. This question goes
deeper into politics than any one
concelves. 1t was the opinion of
the majority of the House that it
was more important to re-elect a
few Southern and Western Demo
Gratis than to elect a Democratic
President. Mr.. Reed, of Maine,
said he cordially agreed with the
gentleman from )" .ssachusetts. Mr..
Boutelle, of Maine, said the passage
OF free coinage bill was not to be
aided by the Republicans.
This was measure which
the Democrats must shoulder.
No act Of his should defer it or aid
its postponement. Mr.. Pierce, of
Tennessee, favored the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. The Re-
publican party was the one which
deceived the people of the country
upon the silver question. The
Democratic party intended to keep
pledges made with the people. Mr..
Bland, of Missouri, regretted that
this great question should not. re-
ceive the unbiased attention of the
House without regard to perty exi-
gency.
| The chair then stated the ques.
tion was on agreeing to the report

challenge for a fight to a finish,
Queensberry rules, to Mitchell,
Slavin or Corbett. He says that
his first choice is Slavin, as he has
done the greatest amount of blow
ing. He puts Mitchell second, be-
cause, as he says, he would rather
whip him than any other man in
the world. Sullivan says it is not
so much a desire on his part to
bear the title of champion as to whip
any foreigner who comes to this
country that actuates him. He de-
sires to fight in August or the first
week of September this year at the
Olympic Club, New Orleans, for
purse of $4,000 and an outside be-
of $4,000. Sullivan says: "Th'

ing and not foot-racing, and l in
tend to keep the championship Q

THB MASS MEETING.
After the adjourn ment mass
meeting was called in which q great
many delegates took part as citi-

looking to political action. The
result was q call for q national con-
