lived in a house facing large
common. When he wished to test
the mems eyes he used to say:
"Look over there and see what you
can see." This fact had got known
to the employees of the railway and
when the old engine-driver was
going to be examined he arranged
with his son that he should take
his bicycle about halfa mile across
the common and stoop down and
oil it. In due time the old man
was led to the window and the doc
tor said, as usual: What can you
see?"
The old man peered out and
said: "Well, l see a young man
STOPPING down beside a bicycle"
"'Do you" replied the doctor; II
cannot see anything at all"
"Gammon!" said the engine-driver;
can't you see it? Why he's oiling
it," On this the doctor took up
pair of field glasses on the table,
and, looking out behind, quite
plainly saw young man STOPPING
down oiling his bicycle. "Magnifi-
cent sight" he said, magnificent"
And to this day the engine-driver
is taking his forty shillings a week
with striking regularity.

TREASON IN THE Glars FAMILY
I. tbe Cars Brother Doing His Duty or P'0tt'"!
Mischief

LONDON. Dec. 26.-Contradictory
stories are received here regarding
the Grand Duke Sergius, brother
of the car, who last spring was
appointed governor of Moscow. Al
the beginning of the present month
it was said that the grand duke
was making himself very unpopu-
lar by efforts to suppress fraudu'
lent practices growing out of the
corruption for which thu Russian
official world is notorious. The
fact that he has interfered with the
stealing of famine money has
caused him to be very unpopular
with a certain wealthy and intluen-
tial class, who are doing their ut
most to secure his removal from
office.
Advices received today state that
the car suspects his brother OF
nursing ambitious designs, though
the nature of the designs, in a
country where all social and politi-
cal honors emanate from the car,
is not stated. 1t is added that the
car has been so impressed by the
array of evidence presented to him
against the grand duke that it is
his intention to send him into
exile.
The wife of the grand duke is
the daughter of the Grand Duke
Louis of Hesse, and a grand
laughter of Queen Victoria. She
recently abandoned the religious
'aith in which she was trained, and
April last formally Joined the
Greek church. 1t is charged in

The Noted Kansas Senator Dies Sud-
denly From Apoplexy.
PARTICULARS OF HIS DEATH.
Although Apparently Vigorous He Had
Been Falling for Two Years but
Never Ceased in His Work.

Preston B. Plumb, the noted
Kansas senator, died suddenly al
his quarters in Washington last
Sunday.
The senator has been known fol
wears as one of the most energetic
members of the senate. A year
ago he began to fail, his brain be-
came affected and throbbing head
aches became more and more fire.
quent. Physicians warned him
that continuance of his labors
meant death. but he refused to
heed their warning. As far as
outward appearances went he was
most vigorous looking and appar-
emily the personification Of health.
He continued to work with the
energy of steam engine, and Sun
day, when seemingly in full vigor,
he died. Two weeks ago he was
troubled by failing memory, and
other symptoms which medical
men call "aphasia. He called in
DR.. Wales. The latter, after care
full study, informed the senator the
symptoms indicated apoplexy and
that he must quit work and rest.
But Senator Plumb thought the
doctor unduly alarmed. He kept
up his labors both in the senate
at at home. His eyes then troubled
him, as did also his kidneys, and
he had skillful specialists examine
him. They reported that there
was nothing the matter with those
organs; that it was some other
trouble, which confirmed DR..
Wales diagnosis. A few days ago
Mr.. Plumb went to Philadelphia
with Senator Quay, to consult DR..
Pepper. He returned Saturday
evening, complaining of a violent
headache, but went to a dinner
given by ex-senator Malone to a
few friends. He returned home
about - o'clock. and about 2 i
o'clock called Mr.. Jennings, his
landlord, who lived above, and re-
quested him to come down and sit
with him, as he was i'll. Mr.. Jen-
nings saw that his condition was
serious and summoned DR.. Wales. |
The latter alleviated the pain and
remained with the senator until
$50, when he went away, leaving
Plumb sleeping soundly. Fifteen
minutes later Senator Plumb
awoke, bounded out of bed and
began to vomit. When the vomit-
ing ceased, he raised his hand to
his head and exclaimed: "Oh, my
God! my head! my headw His
last words. Mr.. Jennings stroko d
his head to relieve the pain, and a
few minutes later the senator
lapsed into slumber and soon
after into Inconsistencies. About
10 o'clock DR.. Wales returned and
saw at once that the senator had
been stricken with apoplexy. He
remained unconscious until the end
came at 1880.

NO FLIRTING At PRAYER MEETINGS.

Lewiston (Me. } Journal
One Lewiston girl believes that
prayer meetings are not the place
for flirtations and pairing off. She
has known what it is to expect one
or two men waiting at the church
door every Sunday night with the
question whether or no he may 20
home with her. She had deter
mined to rid herself of both, and
probably has. She went to the
cake walk in Lyceum Hall Satur-
day night, and during the evening
both asked permission to accom-
pany her home. She said yes to
both. They both waited for her on
the landing, and when she came
down stairs she smiled and took
one of each mans arms.
At first they hesitated a little.
but then went down the last flight
of stairs at jerky gait. At the
foot OF the stairs they both let 20
her arms and walked up Lisbon
street looking ugly at each other.
She entertained them both with
lively stories of the evenings enter.
tainment. Each thought that the
other would drop off at the. head
of the next street and he would 90
home with the pretty girl; but no,
they both went on up Main street
wish in their inmost hearts that
they were out of it. What a fool
the other fellow was! Why didn't
he leave?
In the meantime they went past
corner after corner where each
thought the other would say good
night, for had not the girl said he
might go home with her. So on
they went until the gate was reached
and with a pretty thought about
the effect of the moon on the dried
leaves in the gutter she asked
them both in. They both said it
was late, and looked nervous
Cant you both come up and see
me Thursday evening"" she asked
Mamma will be pleased to meet
you"
One said he had an engagement
at the store that night, and the
other said he was going out Of town

EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER, last
evening at the Los Angeles theater.
made an address on the proposed
Nicaragua canal, which should be
studied by every American. There are
some facts stated in it which are start.
ling even as mere matters of news. Fos
example, the statement that already q
steamer has been able to traverse l57
miles OF the 1853 which form the length
of the proposed route. Or in other
words, steamer built at Delaware made
the trip across the country from the At
lantic to within twelve miles OF the Pa
cific. Mr.. Miller make such q show
ing OF the advantages to be derived from
the construction of the canal that he
leaves no room for adverse argument.
An excellent report of the distinguished
visitors address appears elsewhere,
which is recommended to the attention
of all thoroughbred Americans.

THE story, evidently given away by
Jayhawker, to the effect that FELTON,
and De Young divided up the senatorial
honors of the state for the remaining
years OF the century, may be regarded
as a flrst-class newspaper sensation,
That it will gain general credence under
the circumstances is not on the cards.
Col. ]. P. jackson and Senator FELTON,
emphatically deny the correctness OF
the story 10 any leading feature. They
deny the existence of copies of the
agreement, or that any written instru-
ment was penned at the meeting in
question. Colonel Jackson asserts that
the paper held by Colonel Otis was
made by that gentleman nine months
after the meeting between FELTON,, De
Young and the others, and that it was
made from memory. Without calling
in question the veracity of any one, in
the face of these denials by FELTON, and
Jackson, who are so we'll known in this
state, and whose word has not hereto
fore been called in question by any one,
the people will hold that there is mis-
understanding on the part of someone.
The deal, if it had taken place, would
have been most astounding one, and
one very unlike FELTON,.

A HEATED EPISODE.

something Wh1ch occurred In q T0rvid
Term-Facts Which May BE Called
Later Into Recognition.
There is chapter in the history O.
the recent Democratic convention al
Fresno which has not been written, anc
which might just as well be properly
recorded now.
Mr.. Joseph D. Lynch, when he arrived
in Fresno Tuesday morning, had clea,
majority of the Los Angeles delegation
in his favor, as candidate for the Office
of delegate to the Chicago convention
but on the advice of some warm friends
and after considering the situation from
all points of view, he decided to with.
draw his name, and did so, instructive
those delegates with whom he had in.
huence, to heartily support Maio,
George S. Patton of San Gabriel.
When this fact became known, a
number OF delegates from the northern
part of the district came to him, and ex.
pressed their hope that he would permit
them to induce him to re-enter the con.
test, not against Major Patton, but as
against Mr.. Jesse D. Carr, the candidate
from the northern portion of the dis
trict.
Mr.. Lynch demurred to this, making
the remark that for the south end of the
district to try for both delegates would
be hoggish and would not be fair.
The reply was made in substance
What is that to you if we, who are
from the north, want yoH? We can give
you 10 votes; if you can secure Is Of
your own delegation you can be easily
elected.
The matter was put 30 strongly to Mr..
Lynch that he finally agreed to leave
the proposition to the Los Angeles dele
cation, of which he was chairman, and
he thereupon called the delegation to-
gather and stated the case to the mem
bers, and on the roll being called twenty
five OF the replies were in his favor. He
explicitly stated to the delegation that
the proposition was from the northern
men, and added that he would not per.
NIT his own nomination until after the
election OF Mr.. Patton, to whom he
would give hearty support. He did
not care to make further contest, but
as the delegates from Mr.. Carr's portion
of the district asked him to, he was will
ing to follow their wishes.
Later Mr.. Lynch saw Mr.. Del Vale,
and that gentleman, on being asked his
intentions, said that he would add his
vote to the 25, which, with the 10 prom
ised from the north, would give the
necessary A votes to elect with l to
spare; go the matter was left, under
stood az above described.
| When the test came, however, three
OF the men who on roll-call had openly
expressed their intention OF voting for
Mr.. Lynch put themselves on record in
favor of Mr.. Carr. The objection to Mr..
Carr on the part of the delegates from
his part OF the district had been the
suspicion that he was controlled by
railroad influences, suspicion which
was not lessened by the peculiarly sud.
den flop of three men who had been put
on record as for Mr.. Lynch.
The above is simple statement of
the true facts in case about which the
HERALD may later have more to say.

supply is very serious one. Each

most serious aspect of the case appears

The governments of central Europe
are in some embarrassment on the sil.
yer question. They do not know how to
take Mr.. Harrison's silver conference.
They are directly in the position OF the
Trojan who 60 distrusted the gift-horse
of the Greeks. They do not look for
any honest friendship to the white
metal from the tources where this con-
ference takes its rise. They all propose
to follow the lead OF Germany. 1t is
not yet clear what the attitude OF that
empire will be. 1t will not be very
friendly to silver. When the small
kingdoms and principalities of Europe
were welded with the empire, Bismarck,
then at the head of affairs, gave orders
that all the silver coinage of all these
petty governments should be recoined
into a uniform coin for use in the new
empire. This was being done when a
whisper from America reached his ears
to the effect that the United States was
about to demonetize silver. No details
as to the manner of doing this were
given. But the infamous trick of
"Honest" John Sherman supplied
the modus and the job was
done. It is well known that
Bismarck and almost all the finan-
cierso Europe have constantly regretted
this step, taken only to protect the EN-.
pire from the reprisal about to be taken
by America. The United States alone
holds half az much silver, coined or
stored for coinage, as all Europe together

FLORIDA is making great efforts tC

FLORIDA is making great efforts to
ship her surpiua oranges to England.
Two large steamers have been chartered
for this service. The trouble with Flor
ida's oranges is that they ripen in the
dead of winter when the demand for
fruit is at its lowest ebb. But here
Florida has an advantage, too. She has
the market all to herself. The fruit of
the American peninsula can be laid
down in London, long time before that
of the shores OF the M editerranean is
ripe. London is vast hive
and the powers of consumption
enjoyed by such a population are great.
We do not know that the matter greatly
interests us here. Usually the orange crop
OF Florida is all consumed before that
OF Southern California is ready for the
market. But if the eastern people have
not been surfeited with too many Flor
ada oranges at very cheap prices before
ours arrive in the market, prices are
liable to rule good deal higher.

holds. Our silver stands us in 129 cents
per ounce, end that OF Europe is stored
or coined at 1873 cents per ounce. Europe
has twice as much of the white metal as
we have, and it has cost the govern-
ments that hold it cents per ounce
more than ours cost Us. We hold the
combination. and they dare not open
their mints until we set the example.
Nor can they consent to coin the white
metal at less than 133 cents per ounce.
that is on the ratio of l511s to 1. These
are the horns of the dilemma, on one or
other of which the fnancier of Europe
finds we have him impaled.
