LAsoocHERs ON aoMp RULE
rrishmsn shonld Not Manage Their Own
Affairs and England's Too.


LONDON, Sept. 22.-Mr. Labouchere
says in Truth that IL would be difficult
for any sane man to vote that the Irish
after they have been given their own
parliament, shall remain full members
of the imperial parliament. Mr.. La.
bouchere adds:
Home rule will be granted because
we hold that localities can best manage
their local affairs. The proposition tells
both ways. 1t is absurd to legislate in
this way with regard to Ireland, and
allow Irishmen to decide British affairs
by holding the balance of power between
the two parties. 1t would be a mons
trous crime to allow the Irish to be mas
ters OF their own local affairs and to re-
main masters of ours. 1t would be o
fatal fault, for We are convinced that the
English constituencies would never
stand it. If we appealed to the country
for home rule against the house of lords
we would lose our appeal were such a
proviso in the bill.
"1t is time few plain words were said
about the popular feeling in England in
regard to home rule. The electors are
sick of it. Our appeals about the wrongs
of Ireland and the appeals of the oppo-
nents of disintegration of the empire fell
dead. The electors thought settle the
matter as you like and as it was consid-
cred that the only way to settle the mat.
ter was to grant home rule, they voted
for home rule candidates. The election
was won because the electors wanted
certain imperial and local reforms, and
the only way to get them was through
home rule. True, home rule figured in
the Liberal electoral addresses, but little
of it was mentioned in the speeches.
"This is why as Mr.. Gladstone does
not seem prepared to crush out the oil
garchical opposition by the creation Of
peers, | am so desirous that we immedi-
ately tackle the electoral reforms and
fulfill some of our promises to the En-
glish electors. Otherwise we are certain
to be defeated at the next general cleo
ton, and defeat involves the defeat of
home rule

In ancient Egypt the papyrus plant grew
In enormous quantities. The roots of it
were used for food the bark for ropes,
baskets. mats and even for river boats.
The fine skin of the inner bark was glued
together in strips and employed as writing
paper The word paper" is indeed our
modern form of the word ''papyrus."
Now this fine skin or rind was imported
into Rome and by the Romans was called
"liber," and when the papyrus was made
up into book it, too, was known as a
t.liber." The case in which such collec-
Latin) "libraria," whence, through the
French "librairie." we have our English

The Greeks called the plant "byblos,"
and when among them the papyrus became
book the latter was termed a "byblos."
The earliest Christian writer's using the
Greek language, spoke Of the Holy Scrip
lures as "biblia" (the books, and later,
when the Scriptures were regarded as q
single work and not as a collection, the
plural form "biblia" (the books) was
adopted as Latin singular, "biblia," tthe
book. With slight modification "biblia"
spread into all modern European Ian
guages, and appeared in English as "the
Bible" some time after the Norman con-
quest.
So the very word "Bible" takes us back
to those dark days of the oppression, when
as yet the great lawgiver was but a weep
ing babe in the water flags, and the annals
of the Jewish people had not got beyond
the second chapter of Exodus.-Good

A clever piece of detective work,
which must appeal with sad and crush
Ing suggestiveness to the crook frater-
nitR has been done in Toledo. A barber
for some time missed cigars from the
case in his shop. At first only few
cigars were taken, but presently the
thieves became bolder and took whole
boxes. A watch was set and detectives
were employed, but all in vain. At last
the barber struck on the idea of having
an automatic detecter fixed in the shop,
and he called in an electrician. A cam
era was arranged so as to cover the cigar
case, and flashlight apparatus and the
camera were connected by wires with
the sliding door of the cigar case, SO
that when the door was opened the wires
would be brought together. The circuit
thus formed would produce a flash and
secure instantaneously picture of the
thieves. For twelve days the cigars
were unmolested, but on the morning of
the unlucky thirteenth the thieves were
prompted to try their hand again.
The plate was taken from the camera
and developed, and on it was seen
unique and interesting picture, contain
ing the likenesses of two juveniles who
were in the act of stealing the cigars.
Every detail in the shop was distinctly
seen, the clock showing the time at
which the youngsters little operations
were interfered with, and the mixture
of cunning and caution on the face of
the boy who was evidently taking the
active part in securing the booty was
intensely amusing, The boys were at
once recognized, were arrested, tried
and sent to reformatory, and the judge
commended from the bench the ingenu.
ity of the means Of detection employed.

Brazil he heard of the remarkable conver-
sational powers of a certain old parrot
that was said to be able to answer ques-
tions just like n reasoning creature.

was brought into room where the prince
was with number of other persons. A
few minutes afterward the bird called out:
"What company of white men are
herer'
Asked who he thought that man was
the prince being pointed to, he answered:
Some general or other"
The prince then asked, "Where do you
come fromi"
"From Mnrinnan," answered the bird.
"To whom do you belongH
"To Portuguese"
"What do you do thereW
"Watch the chickens"
The prince laughed and asked, "You
watch the chickens2"

WoosTER, %. Sept. .ss.-The Chicago sx.
press train crashed into freight train
on the Fort Wayne road at Shreve. o.
siS people were killed outright. three
seriously injured, and others slightly
hurt,
The express was approaching at full
speed, when the freight, which had been
lying on a siding. suddenly pulled on to
the main track in front Of it, Before
either train could stop they had collided.
1t is thought the engineer of the freight
train did not understand the orders.
Both engines were ditched and ground
into shapeless mass. They were fol-
lowed by six cars of the express, includ
ing the postal car, two express cars, the
baggage car, the smoker, and one coach,
together with five of the freight cars.
The wrecked cars were totally de-
stroyed by fire. One coach and the
sleeping cars on the express train were
not wrecked and escaped the flames. 1t
is feared the missing persons perished in
the fire.
All attention at first was paid to the
passengers imprisoned in the burning
smoker and day coach. Two or three Of
them were pinioned down by broken
timbers and were powerless to move.
They made desperate efforts to free
themselves as the flames swept towards
them, and their cries for help were heart
rending. All that could be done was be-
ing done by those outside, but the fro
swept upon them so quickly that they
finally had to stand back while the poor,
helpless victims, pinioned down in the
car seats, perished before their eyes.

A well known pump man, who has just
put in wells and cisterns all around the
western circuit OF Chicago and is noted
for the facility with which, after due and
proper notification he fixes well and cis-
tern pumps OF all makes and every degree
of brokenness. was in his younger days an
itinerant pump mender in the east. One
day he stopped at big manufactory and
solicited job of repairing. Now, the
pump of the institution that supplied
water from a deep well had been out of
order and the machinery at a standstill for
several days, for the reason that not one Of
the experts and professionals employed
had been able to fix it. The manager said
to the repairer: .... ... a.
1--WE have got pump that needs fixing
and you might see IL you can do it."
The pump man examined the source Of
the faetory's water supply, and taking
piece of leather bit of wire, few tacks
and some wax he had tho pump working
all right in about half an hour. The work.
men meantime had told him how long the
pump had been stopped, and the troubleit
had occasoned the institution, as well as
the fact that the experts had failed to
make it work. He therefore made out a
bill for fifty dollars for doing the job. The
manager protested and said the charge
was outrageous for simple little job that
took only half an hours work.
you make out a bill that Is right ana
we will pay It," he said.
"All right" said the pump mender; "I'll
do it. Give me the BILL" Thereupon he
altered it to read as follows and handed it
to the manager:
For fixing pump. ...,............... 10
For knowing how. w..................,....... 40 80
$50 90
The manager then saw the the point and
paid the bill forthwith. Mail.

the driver, The rear curtain was left
open TO afford air, and as the ambulance
moved off the few persons present barred
their heads and stood silently and sadly
watching the little procession as it moved
away.
The president seemed much affected,
and his eyes, red from weeping and with
dark rings under them, told the tale Of
his deep distress and sleepless nights
spent at the bedside of his wife. -Four
mounted policemen preceded the ambu-
lance and kept the street clear of all
traffic that might interfere with the pro-
cession. Behind came two carriages
containing Russell Harrison, Mrs. Nc
Kee and Mrs Dimmick, the party driv-
ing directly to the White House. ArIiv-
ing there she was carried to her room in
the upper story.
Her physician. DR. Gardner, reports
that Mrs. Harrison stood the trip very
well, and that her spirits were much
buoyed up by reaching Washington,
which he thinks will be greatly in her
favor.
The presence of President Harrison in
Washington will not alter his plans an
nounced several days ago. He will be
unable to participate in any of the exer-
cises of the G.. A. r. encampment, as he
remains constantly at the bedside of Mrs.
Harrison.
