When he was gone the clerks, marveling,
said:
1.-THE cowboy blushed.'
The first step was accomplished. The
money was still under his command and at
his disposal. but the next step would dis
rose of that difficulty. He went to another
bank and drew upon The first bank for tho
$500 by check. The money WAS collected
and deposited a second time to the credit of
Howard Tracy. He WAS asked to leave u
few samples of his signature, which he did.
Then he went away, once more proud and
OF perfect courage, saying:
mo help for me now, for henceforth l
couldn't draw that money without identiti-
cation, and that is become legally impossi-
BILE. No resources to fall back on. 1t is
work or starve from now to the end. 1 am
ready, and not afraid!'
Then he sent this cablegraui to his father:
Escaped unhurt from burning hotel.
Have taken fictitious name. Goodby."
During the evening, while he was wan
dering about in one Of the outlying districts
of the city, he came across n small brick
church, with q bill posted there with these
words printed on it:
"Mechanics' club debate. All invited"
He saw people, apparently mainly of tho
working class, entering the place. and he
followed and took his seat. 1t was a hum

taton. 1t had painted pews without cush-

it had a platform. On the platform sat
the chairman. and By his sido sat q man
who held manuscripts in his hand, and
had the waiting look of one who is going
to perform ths principal part. The church
WAS soon filled with u quiet and orderly
congregation of docently dressed and mod
est people. This is what the chairman
said:
1.-The essayist for this evening is an old
member of our club whom you all know,
Mr.. Parker, assistant editor of the Daily
Democrat. The subject of his essay is the
American press. and he will use al his
text n couple of paragraphs taken from
Mr.. Matthew Arnold's new book. He asks
me to read these texts for him. The first
is as follows:
"Geothe says somewhere that the thrill
of ave- that il to say, reverence, is the
best thing humanity has"
Mr.. Arnold's other paragraph is ma fol-
lows:
II should say that If one were searching
for tho best means to etfHce and kill in a
whole nation the discipline of respect, one
could not do better than take the American
newspapers"
MIR. Parker rose and bowed, and was re-
oeived with warm applause. He then began
to read in n good, round, resonant voice,
with clenr enunoiation and careful atten-
tion to his pausea and emphasis. His points

Dear Miss, Nine. or Mr.: Whichever you

and leave my feet on the cold, cold ground.

the place where the hat pin had pricked
through for months and left many little
round holes and one gaping wound. i
should sew up the rips in my gloves and
take the stains out of my dress with tan

The Pitchers New Ball.

1t is often amusing to watch a pitcher

ing the progress of the game. They III 20
through the same little performance pso-
vious to delivering the ball, the sole puf>
pose of which, they will tell you, is to est
a good grip. To deliver new ball to kh4
bat without this bit of preliminary totaug
would be considered evidence that the
pitcher was not in good trim. Upon re-
ceiving the ball from the umpire the
pitcher first examines it in critical man
ner. Convinced that it is regulation ball
without flaw, he then rolls it around in
his hands with great vigor
Formerly he took up a handful of dirt
and rubbed it all over the ball. in order to
render it a less shining mark for the bats
man, but the rules now forbid that. He
is therefore compelled to do the rubbing
with his hands, and this is done in an en-
ergetic manner, as though determined to
rub the cover off. Having rubbed the ball
until all the dirt on the palms of his hands
is transferred to the cover of the sphere,
the pitcher looks around to see if all his
fielders, in and out. big and little, are alive
and in good spirits. Satisfied on this point,
he gives the ball one parting rub, and with
a look which expresses great satisfaction
with it's bright exterior he finally throws
it.-Albany Argus.

IN revolutionists have

The revolutionists have gained
another decisive victory in Venezuela,
and Crespo's army has a clear road to
Caracas, the capital. Palacio is shut up
in Caracas, and his soldiers are utterly
demoralized. The city is in . state OF
terror, and the inhabitants are momen-
tarily expecting the advance of Crespo's
forces to appear. 1t il very doubtful
whether the dictator can make any
effective defense, and the possibilities
are that the capital will be delivered
over to the victorious revolution
lists 40 soon as they reach
1t. Palacio, whose despotic and uncon-
stitutional acts provoked the revolution,
will doubtless fall victim to his own
ambition, for it is hardly possible that
he can escape. General Crespo is q
man of high character, and greatly be-
loved by the people. His authority will
be unquestioned, and he will doubtless
adopt such measures az will be the most
humane in restoring order and in plac-
ing his country again under constitu-
tional rule.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-13
THE delegation to the Chicago conven-

THE delegation to the Chicago conven-
tion from New York is admittedly COM
posed of some Of the shrewdest and
most experienced politicians in that
state. That being the case, it is incon-
ceivable that they will not take in the
situation and go act as to heal the
wounds oflocal dissension that distract
the party. Their responsibility was
great before, but it is much greater
now that the Minneapolis con-
vention has thrown victory as
it were into the very lap OF the
Democratic party. If in turn the Demo-
cratic leaders of New York throw away
the prize that has been placed within
their grasp, they will be execrated from
one end of the land to the other. We
cannot believe they will act as madmen,
but are convinced that they will con-
ciliate all existing differences and make
1t not only possible but certain that
New York will be carried for the Chicago
ticket.
