"Miss Florry," said the traveller, lean

and speaking to the fair girl behind it in
low, eager, passionate tones, NOW that
old Hunks has gone to the front to wait
on a customer l may tell you how l have
looked forward for the last 80 days to
the time when l should have the happi-
ness of seeing you again and hearing
from your own dear lips that you have
not forgotten me, may l not? While I
have been on my dreary rounds from
town to town or passing the leaden hours
in waiting for trains at little railway
stations the thought of your lovely face
has thrilled me to the hearts core. You
have been to me the beacon light Of
hope, the inspiration of every-striped

He had just received a letter from his
son at college and was reading it aloud
to his family. when he came to this pas
sage:
II am taking lessons in fencing, and as
the fee must be paid in advance will need
another remittance"
"Waal, now, that do beat ALL" said
the old man, ''what on airth does any
body need to take lessons in fencing for,
I'd like to know? I've been fencing fo1
40 years and never had to go to college
to learn how"
"But times have changed, father"

No Thief.

. H". NV W
A lady from Buffalo had quite an ex-
perience in a large Berlin hotel. She
was a brave little mn ''doing" the
continent alone with her two children,
without being able to speak a word Of
any language except United States. One
night, having retired early with the lit
tie ones, she was suddenly awakened by
a peculiar noise, which she Don became
convinced was caused by some n try
ing to open the door between her room
and the one adjoining. She wasn't a
bit scared" but got up quickly, turned
on the electric light and rang the bell,
which resounded through the whole
house. The sound at the door ceased
suddenly, and after a slight delay a
''Dutchman," as she called him. ap-
peared to answer the bell.
"Speak English" (the usual question
II shpeaks heem a ~leetle." was the re-
ply.
"There is some one in the next room
trying to open my door," excitedly.

"But there is some one there-a robber,
a burglar. Don't you understand"
"He is oudt! He will be cen at hallu.

"No, a robber! a burglar! a thief-a

John Could Wait Outside.

There are visitors to the Art building
every day who show by their faces that
they would be more at ease somewhere
else in Jackson park. They walk through
the rooms as though they were lodging
their creditors. They hang their heads
before a marble Diana and steal covert
chances at some of the ambitious efforts
of the French artists. Their modesty is
so pronounced that it hurts them as bad
ly as a bunion in a tight shoe. A man
with his wife strolled into the French
section yesterday. He had the appear
ance of a clergyman looking for a job.
She was more worldly in ner dress and
manner. Before he knew where he was
going he was standing in front Of a pas
toral scene, remarkable for the amount
of flesh color it contains if for nothing
else. The mar pulled his hat over his
eyes and turned to his wife, who was
looking in another direction.
"Come out of here" he gruf1y CON-
manded. 1--WE seen enough of this al
ready"
His wife started in meek submission.
but her eyes fell on the pastoral scene.
Her feet stuck fast to the floor, while her
husband repeated his command.
"Wait for me cut in the other room,
John" she sweetly remarked. This is
France, you know. You had better go
over to the architectural exhibit. Chi

The New YORK Tribune advises
workingmen to ask Congress not 70
toncb the tariff. Assurance always mas
been one of the chief characteristics OF
the republican party. AS 10 the nature
of things a man who is compelled 10
work can not consume more OF the nee
essaries of life than one VINO is not:
and as there are ninety OF the former 10
ten of the latter in this country, ana as
the revenue of the government Is raised
principally by the tariff tax on such
necessaries, it is plain to be seen tha'
niue-tenths of the public money collect

who, therefore, instead OF petitloning
Congress not to touch the tariff, shouiu
petition it to remove the tariff tax on

Mr. Harris went on to argue against
the repeal bill I; and said that if
the Sherman act were repealed, that
would be the last recognition of silver

AT the close Of Mr.. Harris's speech
he expressed himself ready to accept
any fair and honorable compromise but
that he would vote against uncordi-

and ridiculed the proposed information

HOUSE.
aAfter some routine business the
House resumed the consideration ofthe
federal election repeal bill.
Mr.. Lacey characterized the measure
as an unseemly bill brought in at an
unseemly time. This extraordinary
session had been called on account of
the financial condition of the country.
Some thought that this had been
brought about by the election of 1892;
some thought that it had been brought
about by the tariff. Instead of meet
ing the financial question as it
should be met, instead of bringing for
ward bill to revise the tariff (Which
the people were told was an atrocity)
this bill was thrust upon the country
unexpectedly and wholly uncalled for.
For what reason was this action taken
by the majority? There was differ
ence in the democratic party over the
silver question. 1t was necessary to do
something to get the democrats togeth-
er, and the federal election repeal bill
had been brought forward as the war
cry around which the party could rally
Mr.. Lacey then proceeded to criticise
the election methods pursued in certain
districts of South Carolina.
Mr.. Talbert denied the general tone
of the gentieman's remarks.
Mr.. LACEY am glad the gentleman
denies the tone Of my remarks instead
Of the facts. | am responsible for the
tone of my remarks: tue facts speak for
themselves.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Laceys
speech Mr.. DeArmond took the floor in
advocacy of the BILL He was followed
by Mr.. Gillett in opposition to the bill.
When he took the floor there were 81
members in the chamber.

votes being cast. Messrs. NJ. L. Cooke
and l.. L. Kelam were nominated for
the House of Delegates by about four
hundred majority. While the United
States senatorial contest was made a
part of the issue, it was squarely a fight
for control of local politics in the city.
The laboring classes took no interest
in the primary, because ofthe manner in
which President Cleveland's admins
tration conduct the affairs Of the navy
yard.

THE EXECUTIVE committee OF the
Virginia democracy and the local com
nittees of Norfolk and Portsmouth
have formally denounced the repuoh-
can labor board established under the
Harrison administration for the purpose
of removing and excluding democrats
from employment at the Norfolk navy
ward, which board still exists and con-
1inues to effect the object for which 1t
was created. But Mr.. Herbert, secre-
tarv of the navy, says the board shall
not be abolished or its membership
be changed, and that vacancies among
the employees at the yard will only
occur by reason ofdeath or resignation,
and intimates that such policy is in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the Presi-
dent. 1t is well for the democratic par
ty-at least in the cities referred to,
that the coming election is not for ma
tional officers.
