An Indignant Burglar.

THE most remarkable experience with a
burglar that ever heard Of" said Col. Calliper
to New York Sun writer, Twas that OF Jason
Frognip, friend Of mine who once lived in
Storkvile Center, Vt. Two of MIR. Frognip's
children we're quite sick with dphthera, and
for a number Of nights he and Mrs. Frognip
were up with them pretty much all night. At
about 2:i5 o'clock on one of these nights Mr.
Frognip went down In the kitchen for some
thing. He carried no light. for ne was familiar
with every nook and corner of his house He
had on pair Of felt slippers. and as he stepped
noiselessly across the kitchen floor he heard a
burglar outside, working at the back door. Mr.
Frognip felt very bad about his children, but it
almost made him laugh to think of how cas- ly
he could get rid OF the burglar. He went up
near the door and said to him, in an ordinary
tone of voice:
My friend. we have two cases OF dphtherla
in the house..
"'Whatr said the burglar Then why in
thunder don't you hang out yeller flag to warn
peopler
How could know you were coming" said
Mr.. Frognip.
"'What do care whether you knew I was
coming or noty said the burglar. Suppose I'D
ha' got into your dsrned old house and taken
the diphtheria home TO my childrenr And he
gathered up his tools and went away apparently
very Indignant.

End of @ Day Dream.

On Wednesday $4,000 or 10000 people
rushed into the Arapahoe and Cheyenne
reservations, opened TO settlement at noon
that day, in the hope of locating claims
upon which to establish comfortable home =.
Now numbers of them are leaving disap-
pointed, and fighting among those who re-
main was reported day or two ago.
There was no difficulty experienced in
locating" claims, the land was all there
an area five times as big as the state OF
Rhode Island, and enough to give $1,000
people 100 acres each. not counting the
people accommodated on the town sites, nor
the land reserved for the Indians.
The day dream Of these disappointed
homeseekers was beautiful, but the awaken
ing was anything else. They anticipated
entering and owning q land OF wonderful
fertility; place where the earth, 'when
tickled with hoe would laugh forth its
choicest fruits" In place Of this they say
they found immense barren tracts through
which the only water courses were little
streams bitter with alkali. One returning
disappointed "homesteadern said OF it: II
don't blame the government for giving
away such land; it is too poor to keep. 1t is
not worth paying taxes on.n
Complaints like these, however, are natu-
raj. Such big section Of country contain
ing only good farming land would be a
wonder, and about all the wonders in this
country have been reported. In such a
crowd Of eager boomers it is not possible

q Harmless Butcher.

A green young clergyman just ordained, says
the New YORK Tribune. was recently settled in
a small western town, and was requested few
days ago to make some remarks at the funeral
of a member OF his parish, butcher. 1t was a
painful ordeal for him, for he was not q good
extemporaneous speaker, and public opinion
prevented him from using any notes. He got
along pretty well, however, with his exordium
on death as general necessity, which he had
memorized; but when he began to touch on the
life of the deceased he gave indications of In
cressing nervousness. He was evidently losing
control of his nouns and verbs, until at last he
made the following ludicrous break Friends
and brethren, our departed friend was a good
man. We knew, him from childhood that is,
mean, those who have lived there did. He
butchered In this town for twenty years, and,
and, he never harmed q living thing" Only q
scrupulous regard for the proprieties kept some
Of the hearers from smiling at the idea of a
butcher who 'never harmed living thing"

More Fun in Music Than in Politics.

Ex-Go7. Robert L. Taylor Of Tennessee spent
yesterday in the city on his way to Roston,
where he goes to deliver his inimitable and In
teresting lecture, The Fiddle and the Bow"
says the Washington Post. The ex-governor
has taken altogether to the lecture field, and is
meeting with most satisfactory success. He IS
not n ar so rotund as when he served in con-
gress or al the expiration Of his four years as
the chief executive Of the old Volunteer state
but he does not a look year older. No man
enjoys life more and makes thoss around him
feel that all the world is kin than Tennessee'S
latest ex-governor. "Fuu! Why l have fSvre
fun, said he, Tin a week now than l had in a
year as governor. I'm glad I'm out of
ofnce. and think that I'm done
with politics. What on earth does a man want

Hilps Organ Out of Sorts.

The New York Sun, Senator HilIs lead
Ing organ. is losing its temper in proportion
as Mr.. Cleveland's prospects for the nomi-
nation brighten. In its Fridays issue ii
said
"a state senator of Georgia. one Pope
Barrow, is quoted by che New York Times
as saying: 1 believe that Cleveland will
be nominated before the state Of New York
is reached IN the call OF the states Tho
alleged Barrow seems to require some ele-
mentary instruction in arithmetic. II
every state Should vote solidly for Cleve-
land, from Alabama to Now Jersey, down
to New York on the list, Mr. Cleveland
would still lack 100 votes of a nomination"
Hon. Pope Barrow Is not a stats senator.
He was at ono time a senator Of the U nited
States. And his statement, quoted In the
New York Times, may not turn out to be
such a ridiculous one as the Sun seems 70
think it is. There are about twenty states
ahead of New York in the list of states as
they will be called in the convention, and
what Mr. Barrow meant was, doubtless
that these states one after another, voting
for Cleveland, would arouse such enthusi-
asm that Mr.. Cleveland would be nomi-
mated by reclamation before New York was
reached.
1t certainly looks now az If there would
be great unanimity in the convention for
Mr.. Cleveland. The states are instructing
for him right along, notwithstanding the
statement Of Henry Watterson that he Is
not an available candidate. II 1t is found
that he has two-thrds Of the delegates when
the convention assemblies he will be nom
mated without going through the form Of
calling the states.
The people seem to be managing the
Cleveland boom. The politicians are not
being consulted with regard to it. Perhaps
Mr.. Watterson is a little unhappy because
he sees a very small chance for glory for
himself in connection with 1t. 1t has not
been so very long-less than two years
since he advised Senator Hill to get out Of
Mr.. Cleveland's way and take his chances
for getting the nomination In 1896. Mr..
Watterson is somewhat changeable, and it
may be that he will take different view OF
Mr.. Cleveland's availability before the
meeting OF the national convention. In the
meantime the Sun should not forget that
Mr.. Barrow is an x-United States senator.

Sundays and the Chicago Fair.

The question whether or not the Chicago
fair shall he open on Sundays is awakening
good deal Of interest in nearly all parts of
the country. Church going people, as a
rule, oppose opening the fair on Sundays,
and they are making and will continue to
make. an extraordinary effort to have their
way. Dr. Talmage has a plan for settling
the question. 1t was stated in the MORNING
NEWS last Wednesday in a special from
Chicago. 1t is that all work shall cease
every Saturday at noon In Chicago, and
within fifty miles of that city,
during the fair, and that from
Saturday noon until IL O'clock
Saturday night the fair shall be given up to
the working people, On Sundays promi-
nent preachers and moral teachers from all
parts Of the country shall occupy the pulpits
of the churches and the platforms Of the
halls and auditoriums, and a special effort
shall be made TO get the people to listen to
the religious and moral teachings.
DIR. 1almage's proposition Is nothing more
nor less than that the fair shall be closed on
Sundays. The only suggestions he makes
that have not been already made, are that
there shall be a half holiday on Saturdays,
and that extra efforts shall be made to in
terest people on Sundays In a way they will
be benefited.
1t would be good thing IL there could be
a general agreement to adopt DR.. Talmages
plan, or any other plan that would include
closing the fair on Sundays, but no such
agreement is within the bounds of proba-
hilftu The 30 hn
want the fair open on Sundays Em ployers
would not consent to half hol iday on
Saturdays unless employees would agree to
| accept half wages for those days, and that
they could not afford TO do. The other part
Of DR.. Talmaye's plan can be carried out
even if the fair is open on Sundays, for the
churches and halls and audltoriums will be
| filed with religiously inclined people if the
attractions are sufficiently great.
And, after all, there will not be great
deal of harm in permitting people to see
the fair on Sundays. No business will be
transacted on those days, of course, and no
work will be done that can be avoided
| The most of those who will visit the ia ir
| would not attend religious services if the
fair was closed, and if they were not enjoy
ing the fair they would be doing something
else probably much less In harmony with
proper observance of Sunday. Chicago,
and in fact the whole west, has large for
eign-born population that has its own no.
tions about Sunday observance, and it can
not be made to understand that there are
good reasons for closing the fair on Sum-
days Those who favor keeping the fair
open on Sundays are saying very little,
because they believe the fair will be open
on those days, and it is probable they are
not mistaken.
