self When His Mistress Does.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-The Star pub
fishes a romantic story which is
said to be a sequel to the sui
eide on Thursday last of the Hon.
Charles Howard, brother of the Earl
of Efingham, who killed himself with
pistol at his residence, No. "a, Eve
lyn terrace, this city. Captain How
ard, who was a captain in the Cold
stream guards, was married to the
eldest daughter of the Earl of Wichil-
| sea and Nottingham
/ According to the story the death Of
Captain Howard was brought about
by his inlatuation for a young and
pretty woman who shot herself on
Saturday. A friend of Mrs. Bloss,
the young woman referred to-,
is quoted as saying that Captain
Howard often visited her and that
some days previous to his suicide he
was informed that his wife was aware
OF his intimacy with Mrs Bloss and
that she had taken steps to commence
a suit for divorce.
The captain and Mrs. Bloss appeared
to have been so apprehensive of the
result of the exposure which the d.
vorce proceedings would bring about
and they seem TO have been so infat-
uated with each other that they de-
termined to die in each others COM
pany. With this object in view,
they are said to have purchased
poison with the intention of partaking
of it together, but something seems to
have made them change their minds,
for the captain shot himself with a re-
volver at his home, where he was
found dead by servant, sitting in a
chair in smoking room apparently
asleep Mrs. Bloss, as already stated,
shot herself on Saturday,

They Want Freedom.

There is no installing the spirit and
intent of these resolutions, recently
adopted at Chicago:
The Trade and Labor Assembly of
Chicago, delegated body representing
the organized artisans and mechanics of
this city, desires to support the call made
by various journals and citizens for an
extra session for the repeal of the Nc
Kinley law. The verdict of the people
at this last election was emphatic and
overwhelming against the further con-
tinuance of a national policy that re-
stricts and preys on the consumer.
We therefore, as the representatives of
organized labor in Chicago, declare to
you with all the solemnity of serious
men and women that inasmuch as the
only protection we secure as industrial
units comes by virtue of our own or
CARNATIONS and the degree of intelli-
gence and fraternity we cultivate among
ourselves, we therefore request that this
legal and arbitrary protection be I'M
qualifedly repealed. AS workers we
have no fear Of our European fellow
workers.
We therefore ask you to aid in hasten
ing the time when free trade, carried on
by free men, will be the ruling policy of
our nation.

81 600, 100000 poorer than if she import
ed $4,000 100000 and exported 81 ,OOO,-
100000?
In the first case she, at the cost of
$4,000, 100000 of things she does not
want, gains 81, 900, 0OO,O 900 of things she
does want, plus 81, 900, 100000 in money.

So, coo, 100000 of things she does want.
If the opinion is true that in a fair
bargain both sides gain Gas each obtains
what he wants at the cost of parting
with something he is willing to part
WITH, then the United States is better
satisfied in the second case you give,
because she gets a larger amount of

Astronomy and Photography.

Modern astronomy is more deeply in
debted to the science of photography
than the average reader may imagine.
Without the aid Of the camera and the
perfect views it has given us of the
bodies ''far out in space" our knowledge
of celestial geography in the latter part
of this the grandest of all the centuries,
would be meager indeed. When, where
or by whom the camera was first point
ed skyward with the intention of photo
graphing a planet, or even whole sec
ton of the star spangled canopy which
envelops our little world, [ will not
attempt to say, but the grandest of
all such undertakings is that which
has been inaugurated and partially
carried out by the astronomers and
scientific photographers of the world
during the past two years. Some mas
ter mind conceived the idea of mapping
the entire sEzy-of making a bypath
chart Of the heavens, as it were. This
idea when fully matured was commu-
nicated to others interested in that par
ticular branch Of science, and the result
was an agreement that a celestial atlas
should be made.-St. Louis Republic.

Tho Wool Duties.

Wooden manufacturers must buy their
wool about six months before they sell
the goods made Of it.
Under present laws they must buy
wool subject to a heavy tariff duty. To
compensate them for this the tariff du-
ties on wooden goods are high.
The coming Democratic congress and
administration will put wool on the free
list. 1t will also make compensatory re-
auctions III the duties on wooden cloths.
The representatives of the manufac-
turers of wooden goods who have been in
Washington favor free wool and make
no objection to reduction in the wooden
duties. But they think free wool should
come six months earlier than reduced
cloth duties, SO that they may market
their goods made of taxed wool before
the duty is removed from wooden cloths.
For the sake Of being rid of uncertainty
they want both reforms as early as pos
sible.
They strongly favor an early extra ses-
sion, hoping that bill may then be passed
putting wool Immediately upon the free
list and enacting a reduction of cloth du-
ties to take effect in the autumn
This would mean cheaper clothes for
the people next winter.-New York

Not Superstitious.

Uncle Job Mcintosh, an elderly negro
who lived not many years ago on one of
the Georgia sea islands with his wife
Hannah, used frequently to rebuke his
wife for her 'tslooperstishin." "Yo's
heap too slooperstishis, Harnah," he
would say. ''Why aim you done obsarve
me, ole oman? Yo' ain nebber seen me
min no slooperstishin. Dey ain no dog
howlin wot kin skeer me; dey aim no
black cat wot kin make me beleebe dat
TIE gan fer to diev'
Aunt Hannah paid no attention. She
was accustomed to let Job assert his SUI
perior virtues without contradiction, be-
ing quite aware that he was no better
nor wiser than his fellows.
The very night after this positive as
sertion on Jobs part of his independence
of superstitions Aunt Hannah was sud
denly taken very i'll with cholera NOR
bus. Job, after satisfying himself that
her case was really alarming, set out
just at sunrise to fetch the doctor
He was just making his way in a de-
pressed frame of mind through the path
overgrown with wild orange and jas
mine that leads from his cabin to the
boat landing. His eyes were upon the
ground. Suddenly he became aware that
some object was confronting him on the
path and he looked up with start.
There standing facing him was big
black cat, its glossy back arched, its tail
erect and swollen to what seemed an ex-
traordinary size, and its golden eyes
glittering in the light of the rising sun.
1t was merely some wandering tabby of
large size returning from a nights foray
and startled by Jobs quick approach in
to making a bold show of resistance, but
to the Negroes dazed eyes it was an aston
ishing and terrible object
Job threw up both hands and screamed:
"'Tain't me, Marse Satan! 'Tain't me
dat's sick, tells We. It's my ole 'oman
Hannah dat We come fer. 'Tain't me,
Marse Satanv'
Jack Tolliner, on his way to the rice
plantation, came up just at this moment
and took in the whole situation, and
while the cat turned and ran off through
the jungle, Jack laughed long and loud
at Jobs fright.-Youth Companion.

The Robbery Must Be Stopped.

It is difficult to exercise patience to-
ward those who talk in this connection
about the dangers of "hasty" action.
The protective tariff is burden and a
crime. Is a peace officer expected to
act with ''great deliberation and delay"
when he discovers helpless victim in
the grasp of highwayman? Should he
go at once to the assistance of the IN
fortunate victim, or should he summon
his fellow officers and consult as to the
best means of preventing the robbery,
meanwhile permitting the thief to cor
tinue undisturbed his work of spoliation?
There is but one way in which honest
people would answer these questions,

Animals in the Rain.

Horses and cattle never look so miser-
able as when standing exposed to cold
and driving rain. Every field in which
cattle are turned loose should have some
loose shelter provided, however rough
and hardy the stock. If left to them
selves in a state Of nature they would
travel miles to some we'll known bank
Or thicket, which would at least give
cover against the wind. Shut up be-
tween four hedges, they are denied alike
the aid of human forethought and of
their own instinct.

happy donkeys, huddled together in
driving showers on some bleak common,
express vast amount of animal misery
