William G.. Todd OF Atkinson, y. H., is
philanthropist wise in his giving. The Boston
Public Library is $50 900 richer for his generosity
and his argess is to be invested so as to secure
permanent annual income of $4,000 TO be eX-
pended in maintaining newspaper reading
room in which papers from every large city IN the
world will he found. II ii did not require
struggle to overcome the temptation to found
some weak institution bearing his name, instead
of burying his gift in great organization already
established, Mr. Todd is man of less than average
vanity. 1t would be hard to find an investment
in the direction of popular education likely TO be
more beneficial than this one reading-room
makes little show 1t is Influential nevertheless.

Among the passengers who sailed for Havre
Yesterday on board the Bretagne were the
Duke of Veragua and the members of his
family. Landing on these shores as the in
vited guests of the Nation they have been
welcomed everywhere with Enthusiastically
American hospitality, and are now returning
to Spain, expressing much the same enthusi-
astic admiration for this great and glorious
country as that manifested by their illustrious
ancestor Christopher Columbus, when home
ward bound after his discovery of the New
World.
The city of Indianapolis it would seem, is
not an adept i'll the management OF her own
finances. dispatch states that her bonds
to the amount of half million dollars fell
due yesterday, while there was nothing tangible
in her treasury with which to meet them. OF
course the embarrassment of this energetic
and prosperous city is only temporary. 1t
is hoped that the holders of the bonds can be
induced to carry them until the money can be
raised to pay them off. Indianapolis will
doubtless know better next time. Just at
present it is in order for her to fix the respon-
sibility for the existing state of things where
It belongs. She owes it to herself to club
somebody.
Baseball is booming this year for the am

When Captain Dutton, OF the Serva. gave
orders to 90 ahead at full speed after the col
lision with the McCallum he probably thought
OF the experience of the Trave about year
ago, when her bows cut sheer through a ves-
sci which she struck on the ocean. and suffered
scarcely any damage. But he builded better than
he knew BY his action he succeeded in saving
every soul but one on board the ship which
he ran down. The story OF the suspension Of
the McCalum the prov of the Servia long
enough TO enable her crew 10 be rescued reads
like a page from q romance.

The coroncr's jury who investigated the Park
VILE railroad accident have reached singular
conclusion. In spite of the positive testimony OF
three men that they saw the switchman, McGtrry,
asleep just before the disaster the jurors exoner-
ate him from all blame. At the same time they
censurc the company in the scverest terms for
gross negligence The evidence for and against
McGarry was about equally strong; why the jury
believed three witnesses on one side and threw
out that of three on the other is not clear 10
is plain enough, though, that one is TO be
made to suffer for this reckless slaughter Of
human lives Gross negligence by a CORPORA
ton is too vague and general to lead to any re-.
suits Of Importance.

A cold, gray dawn filed the eastern

Here and there a feathered songster
piped tentatively, as if doubtful of the
propriety of making such demonstration
as would lead the world to believe it was

to protrude from the curtains of the third
berth from the end.
A pair of dark, soulful eyes pierced the
gloom.
The curtains swayed.
A form appeared, paused for an in
slant and stole like shadow along the
aisle.
The dark, soulful eyes glittered with
triumph.

The form fitted into the dressing room,
slammed the door and piled furniture
against it.

The n1ost Reautiful Of Avn Cat..

The Persian cat is born to the hap
piest fate of any of his family, for,
according to the tales of travellers, he
is, in his native land, not only loved
and cherished, not only well treated
and admired, but thoroughly re-
spected, and he has an acknowledged
position and rights. In form the be-
witching Persian does not greatly
differ from the Angora, but the tail
Is much more effective, for the long
est and the thickest set hairs being
at the tip, they form a magnificent
plume, which the dignifed owner
carries proudly erect, waving in the
air as he moves. In his splendid
silky coat is not trace of woolliness,
and it clothes the graceful creature
from the tips of his ears to the well
"feathered" toes.
Unless some undreamed of feline
marvel shall yet be unearthed, this
animal must forever be regarded as
the perfect flower of the domestic
cat family. Not only does he easily
surpass all his competitors in beauty
and grace, but he possesses charms
of disposition and manner and dig
nifty of bearing, and while most
affectionate and loving is still self
respecting and independent.-Ol
Thorne Miller in Harper's Bazar.

The wind was increasing - a gale.

was near him and who had no great
faith IN the safety Of ships. aud
whom he constantly joked on HE
bad sailorship, as the baron suffered
dreadfully from seasickness. He
made some observations 20 me as 20

and seemed surprised that they had
cocoa and sugar. and asked how long
they had had that indulgence.
This evening a small Genoese trad.
ing vessel passed near us / ordered
her to be examined. and. as Napoleon
was anxious 20 know the news, de
sired the captain 10 be sent on board.
Napoleon was on the quarter deck.
He wore a great coat and round hat.
As he expressed a wish to question
the captain. sent him to the emper-
or on the after part of the quarter
deck and afterward ordered him
down to my cabin. Your captain, :"
said he, is the most extraordinary
man / ever met. He put all sorts Of
questions TO me, and without giving
me time to reply repeated the same
questions to me rapidly second
time"
When l told him to whom he had
been speaking, he appeared all aston
ishment and instantly ran on deck,
hoping to see him again, but Napo-
leon, to his great disappointment, had
already gone below. When told Ma
poleon the man had remarked the
rapidity with which he put questions
to him twice over, he said it was the
only way to get at the truth from
such fellows.
One morning when Napoleon was
on deck l ordered the ship to be
tackled, and we stood toward the Lii
gurian coast. The weather was very
clear as we approached the land.
We had fine view of the Alps. He
leaned on my arm and gazed at them
with great earnestness for nearly
half an hour; his eye appeared quite
fixed. remarked that he had passed
those mountains on a former occa-
sion under very different circum-
stances. He merely said that it was
very true.-Thomas Usher, R. N,

Medical Intelligence.

Colonel Witherspoon, to whom we
have frequently referred to as the
meanest man in Harlem, has been in
poor health for some months past. The
principal cause of his feebleness is his
unwillingness to feed himself with suf.
ficient copiousness.
A few days ago while he was taking
the air he met DR.. Perkins Soonover.
Witherspoon thought this was good
chance to get some medical advice with
out paying for it.
"How do you do this morning, colo

ENFORCE RESPONSIBILITY.

1t is the duty of the Board Of Regents
of the State Agricultural College to pre-
vent any loss Of state funds by the fail
ure of the Corvallis bank. This can be
done by compelling Treasurer Shipley
and the sureties On his bond to put up
the money.
This farmers school should not be
crippled by loss which It is the sacred
duty Of the treasurer and his bondsmen
to made good. The reckless placing OF
such trust is q breach of public faith
with the people, whose hard earned
taxes ought not to be imperiled in that
manner.
The appropriation by the Legislature
was drawn out In lump sum by Mr..
Shipley and put in rotten bank, con-
trary to all usual custom. It should be
made good and the lesson taught that
when men seek honors of public ma
ture they incur solemn obligation To
do their duty. The state should enforce
responsibility.

the function Of the preacher to re-Or

It Ii not, according to DR.. Abbott, the
function of preacher TO divide his
congregation with political or economic
pulpit discussions, or controversial die
courses about pensions, dancing, prohi.
bition. but TO unite them upon the one
platform of "re-organizing" or saving
individuals. Get the individual right,
