A Dollar Show.

Dean Hole, in his new book Of Memories"
does not depend entirely upon his English
brethren for his good stories. He uses the
bishop Of Minnesota as one of his aids, and
Dean Hart OF Denver is quoted for the follow
Ing story: "We have a certain parson, whom
we keep on the frontier He is rough dia-
mond and has knack with the miners Not
long ago he went TO camp called Rico. Dor
roWed the dance hall over the saloon for his
service, rounded up his boys and the hall was
filled After the sermon came the collection
very important feature. The preacher ran his
eye over his audience and selecting a certain
TIN horn gambler known as Billy the Kid
Billy, he said, take up the collection"
very much honored Billy took his sombrero
hat, and with an important and dignified air, as
was fitting for the occasion, made his way to the
front and held his hat for young man on the
foremost chair to donate The young miner
dropped in qnarter Billy looked at it, then,
putting his hat under his coat tails drew his re-
volver, clicked il at the donor and said with the
utmost gravity:
Young man, take that back; this here's a
dollar show Then, with his hat and revolver
| moving around the hall he got as many dollars
as there we're people"
| An American bishop, whose praise Is in the
churches, told me that collector in a church in
San Francisco, on receiving a shake of the head
instead OF dollar from the hand of one whom
he knew intimately, stopped to demonstrate, and
| said:
William, you must give something You've
| heard what the rector has said-it's your duty >
MY money belongs TO my creditors, said
| WllLlam.
And who is your greatest crsditor9 To
| whom do you owe mostY asked the collector
| well, that's very true replied William
but just now he's not crowding quite as much
| as the others'"
| Here is one OF Bishop Whipples stories
| about captain who reproved one of his pas
| sengers for beginning his breakfast on Friday,
/ a day which the captain rigidly observes as q
| day of abstinence, with q huge beefsteak. The
| beef eater was silent but he was on the watch
| for his time Of retaliation, and all things come
| TO him that waits That same morning some
| thing went wrong on deck; the captain lost his
temper, and like the Scotchman who went into
| the middle Of the street and swore at last he
| used words vile and profane. Then the passen-
ger drew near and addressed him: II guess
| captain, that IL you'd eat little more and cuss
little less, you'd be much higher the king
| DOM"
He gives a curious reason, furnished by the
| archdeacon Of Calcutta at dinner which he
attended on So. Andrews day, why ST. Andrew
| was selected to be the patron saint of Scotland
"Gentlenen," he said, II have given this diff
| cult subject my thoughtful considera-
tion, and have come to the conclusion that st.
Andrew was chosen to be the patron saint Of

evidently given her by some woman larger than

tension of the lines across her forehead and
pitiful weakness about her quivering lips that
made me stop. She stood close to the platform,
ana the crowd was ali at her back, so they had

gave a great sob Of agony and turned away.

cradle was empty her heart was broken and she
could no longer live in the house that the baby

The homestead Poisoning story.

Among the residents of Homestead the
story that non-union workmen, employed
In the Carnegie mills. have been system
atically poisoned for weeks by the cook en-
ployed TO prepare their food b not generally
accepted. The non-union men who we're en-
ployed 20 take the places of the strikers were
kept within the inolosure Of the mills day
and night, in order that the strikers might
not have chance either b buHdoze them
into giving up their situations or to persuade
them to do 30. They were provided with
board and lodging in the yard of the mills
which is inclosed by high board fence.
There has been an extraordinary amount
Of sickness among the workmen OF the mills.
At first the physicians were inclined TO
think ii was caused by the water, but az II
continued after the men ceased TO drink the
water obtained at the mills some Of the ply
sicians decided that the real cause of the
sickness had not been discovered.
1t was not until about two weeks ago,
however, that there was suspicier
that there had been foul play. L
is alleged that the cook who prepared the
food for the men In the mills has confessed
that he put poison In the
food Of the men to make them
sick and thus TO frighten them to leave
Homestead. According to the published
story Of the cook he was hired by the laboI
organizations to administer the poison
There was no intention to kill them, he said
but only to brighten them. Several have
died, however, and if Il can be proved thai
they were killed by poison administered by
the cook there will be trouble fer the guilty
parties.
The strikers are, of course, indignant
that they should even be suspected of such
a crime. They want the cook questioned,
and demand a thorough investigation oil
the whole matter. Robert J. Beatty, who

A few physicians and the Carnegie mil
officials think there IL something in tn,

Secretary Noble recently received a
touching appeal from g lone and lonely
widow in Ohio which he, unfortunately,
cannot respond to as a widow would like.
Her husband was q union soldier, and fell at
the front in 1862. in consideration of his
services his widow receives a pension from
the government. But a pension does not
furnish the companionship she desires, and
If she takes the companion she must give
up the pension. She desires the secretary
to insert a plank in her pension certificate
which will enable her to get married and at
the same time retain the pension. She says
she is so plain and poor that, without the
pension money, nobody will marry her.
Here's is a sad case, and deserves the distin-
guished consideration OF the Republican
party.

The Strike Of the Operators.

AT present IL doesn't look a. II the
telegraphers Of the Central would gain
anything by their strike. On the
contrary, the indications are that they
will have to look for employment else
where. 1t ought to have been evident TO
them that Supt Wsdley would not have
shown such indifference 20 their threat TO
strike il their demands were not complied
with IL he had not been well satisfied Of his
ability to get along without them.
Supt. Wsdley will. Of course, be put 60
some inconvenience, but the loss 10 the
road. IL any. will be insignihosnt in oom-
parison to the increased burden that would
have been imposed upon It II be had yielded
to the telegraphers-and the road now 10 In
no condition 70 bear additional burdsna
The operators were told by Sups. Wadley
before they called the chief Of their organ
ization here that no further conference
would be granted them. 1t must be as
sumed, therefore, that they intended TO
strike il Supt. WAdley did not reoede from
the position he had taken.
We do not know exactly what the grew
ances Of she photographers are, and as there
are two sides In all such cases 10 would not
be an easy matter for disinterested person
to form a correct opinion Of the merits
Of the issues The statement has
been made, however. that the salaries
Of telegraphers on the Central average
higher than those on any other Eys-
tenn Of railroads in the south. II this
statement lie correct, and we have no reason
to doubt it, since it was made by oHe In a
position to know, it will be some time before
the strikers are as we'll situated as they
were
1t may be that some Of them received
very small salaries and had great deal TO
do, but il they could have secured better
positions they were at liberty to do so. 1t
does not seem as II they considered at all
the interests of those Of their number who
were fairly well satisfied with their posi-
tions.
II the Central was operated up to 1889
without the assistance OF telegraphers Il
can be operated again withous them, at
least until the places Of the strikers can be
filed. As the situation presents itself at
present It looks as IL the tslsgraphsrs acted
unwisely.

The present House ought to lose no time in

for congress TO hole session and legislate

Altogether Too Sensitive"

There seems 10 be great deal of unnecessary
comment upon the failure TO invite Speaker
Crisp to make a speech at the Reform Climb din
ner in New York Saturday night. There was a
large number Of very prominent gentlemen
present, and TO have asked all OF them to speak
would have been absurd. AS it was, the
speechmAking was prolonged to nearly mid
night. Mr.. Crisp seems to have thought that it
was intended for him to make a speech and
prepared one. But in issuing invitations to such
dinner as this It is the almost invariable Gus
tom to notify those who are expected to speak
long in advance Mr.. Crisp received no such
notification, and he had perhaps, no right 20
suppose he would be called upon. His friends
who have criticised the Reform Club for their
treatment OF the speaker seem 20 be altogether
too sensitive.
