A bright woman when applnuded recently
for her goodness, begged hor friend to let
the matter drop, 'for,n she said whimsi-

"What do you meanln inquired her

on features, but on character. Like all

These friends treated the matter as o

the saying that beauty in later life, in either
man or woman, is dependent upon characA
ter far more than upon form or color.
It is common experience for Young

was not nearly as good looking IN her youth
as she is now. Her beauty has developed

FROM Surinam there comes a remarkable
episode in local journalism, being nothing less
than a charge preferred by the authorities
against Mr.. I. s. Ellis. editor and proprietor
of the "Surinam Courant" of having bribsd
an officer of the Record Office of the colony
to supply him with copies of the officially re2.
ported speeches of Member of the Legislature
Mr.. Ellis declared that he took notes of the
speeches and wrote them out at length from.
his notes for publication. but the Records
Keeper was induced to state that he was paid
for the copies he is said to have furnished,
and what 10 worse in this extraordinary case
is that officers searched the Office, the house,
and even the bedroom of Mr.. Ellis in the hope
of finding soma documents likely to incrimi-
nate him. but in vain nothing was found,
because there was nothing to Gnd. The editor
was called before the Judge Commissary and
the Advocate. General, when, having solemnly
denied. tho charge laid against him, he. was
ultimately disc harged and all proceedings

Mr.. Gladstone received two commercial
Populations on Tuesday, to protest against
tho Home-rule Bill, one from Belfast, and one
from London. The Belfast Deputation
represented the Belfast Chamber of Com
merce, the Belfast Linen Merchants Associa-:
ton and the Belfast Harbour Board. The
Chamber of Commerce represented q capital
OF ESQ, O0O, 900, invested in railW avs, banks,
ships, linen works, and tobacco works: It
is curious that there is a good deal OF
controversy as to the manner in which Mr..
Gladstone received the dsputatiOn, some of
the members recognising his courtesy, and
others speaking of his impatient Interrupt
tions of their remarks az almost aggressive.
We suspect that Mr.. Gladstone was very
sensitive to the weight and authority Of ths,
deputation. and perhaps compelled to suppress
his annoyance at it's confident tone, but that
SO far as he waa fully conscious Of his PERSONAL
attitude toward the speakers, he was courtesy
itself. The deputation stated that seven
banks in Ireland were already the poorer by
&938, 00) in stock, and that seven railways
had lost a million sterling since the Home
rule Bill was introduced. That was q sample
of what Ireland stood to lose. Mr.. Sinclair
said that their Belfast industries would simply
be destroyed by separation from Great Bril-
tain, and that that separation would involve
such a social upheaval a. they did not dare
to contemplate. Mr.. Gladstone, in his reply,
had nothing to oppose to the statements
of the deputation. He admitted the deprs-
citation of securities at once, which he
ascribed to the political prepossessions and
panic Of the propertied classes. But he
maintained that that panic was groundless,
that as OConnell had always been deeply
concerned for the prosperity OF the Irish
Protestants, SO the future Catholic statssnsnr
of ireland would manifest an equal conce1n

He Pushed all the Buttons.
[Chicago Inter Ocean. ]

lCmcag0 Inter Ocean,
There is stopping at the Great North
ern an old countryman, who was in for
mer years an intimate acquaintance of
OF Col. Sage, the night clerk. He went
out to see the fair Sunday afternoon and
returned to the hotel some time after
midnight feeling bit frisky, as he had
sampled many kinds of ''corn juice
during the day. Presuming upon his
acquaintance with the night clerk, he
opened the gate and went behind the
counter to show the clerk how to attend
to his business. While Colonel Saye's
attention was called away the old fellow
sat down on stool behind the counter
and innocently leaned his broad and
weary back against about thirty of the
push buttons on the annunciator.
An electric wire connects these buttons
in the rooms above with gongs which
make peculiar and astonishing amount
of noise, especially when they start sud-
denly after midnight and keep up the
racket without cessation. Well, when
the old man leaned his back against the
annunciator the noise began upstairs,
but, of course, he didn't hear it, so he
continued to sit there and push the but
tons. Many people had left calls so as
to catch trains. They got up and began
to dress but they couldn't imagine Why
the deafening noise continued after they
had pushed the button in response to
signify that they were up. The others
were panicstricken.
The halls were soon filled with men
and women in all kinds of dishabille.
Each door as it was opened let an addi-
tional noise into the hall, until with the
oaths of the men and the screams of the
women it seemed perfect bedlam.
People became mixed up and got into
rooms with others whom they had never
seen. One man, after the scare was over
never discovered that he was in the wrong
room until getting in bed he almost
mashed baby. OF course, there was a
rush for the office. The clerk opened
his eyes and grabbed his gun as every-
body fired questions at him at once. He
said he couldn't explain it, but they
must be crazy. Then he looked around
and saw the old schump'' sitting on the
stoo' with an innocent, insane, toothless
smile stretching across his sun-bronzed
face. Col. Sage pulled him up by the
collar and told him what he had been
doing.
He said: ''I'm sorry / disturbed the
good people, but who'd ha' believed that
that board could make all that noise
when it only had mans back leanin'
against it," Then he went over and be-
gan to push white spot on the new
postal box. He thought he was ringing
for the elevator

Some weeks ago the commissioner of
patents took the contract for the print
ing of this bureau from the parties who
had held it for some time and gave it to
a competing company, whose principal
qualification appears to have been that
its members were Democrats. The for
mer contractors had always done their
work well and promptly, and are. so it is
said, the only parties in Washington who
are properly equipped to Autograph and
print the patents themselves, and the
weekly Official Gazette of the patent
Office. The consequences of this trans
fer of the contract for political reasons
have been delay and confusion in the is
suing of patents and publication of the
Gazette. The $50 patents which should
have been issued last week are not ready
nor are all those ready which should
have gone out two weeks ago, and the
Gazette is two weeks behind. The work
on the patents issued is said to be poor
and inaccurate, and everything cor~r2'rl
with the printingsis in bad way.

Senator stanfofd's Consideration for the


Horse.
In employing men to work at Palo
Alto, the late Senator gave them the
most strict orders. They were told new
or to strike, kick or whip a horse, and
his instructions to his men were: ''Al-
ways do thing little better than any
body else and you will succeed. When
you handle horse treat him a little bet
ter than anyone else. When you breed
horse breed him to little better stock
each time.''
1t was in this way that Stanford revo-
lutionized the horse breeding of the
country. He never allowed one of his
men to ill-use horse, and they knew it.
Ihere are never noise or blows around
the Palo Alto stables, and the horses are
never frightened. To show his feeling
towards his horses, the late Henry Vroo-
man once told of an occurrence when he
was dining with Senator Stanford. just
after the dinner, one of the drivers in
sisted that he must see the Senator. He
was ushered in, with blood over his face,
which was badly cut. "John knocked
me down. explained the man, referring
to one of the trainers.
What did you do?" asked the Sena-
tor.
Nothing" replied the man.
But you must have done something;
l want the TRUTH persisted the Sen
ator.
II kicked horse, and John knocked
me down." said the man.
"Those'were Johns instructions, and
| think he did just right" said the Sena-
tor.-San Francisco Examiner

There have been very few acts of legis-
iatlon that have received more consider
alton, been discussed longer or passed
with more elaboration than the act of
1873 demonetizing silver 1t got the at
tention, not only of one Congress, but of
two twas discussed by two Senates and
oy Two Houses of Representatives passed
IN slightly different form by two Senates
ana one House of Representatives and
then 1t went into conference committee,
where 1T was again discussed and the diff
ferences between the Houses reconciled.
The bill as agreed upon in conference
was then reported to both Houses and
by both Houses adopted. One of the
men who took prominent part in the
discussion was Senator Stewart of Colo
rado. He discovered no trick at the
time, nor thought of such thing. Nei-
Their did anybody else, simply for the
reason that there wasn't any or suspi-
cion of any. There is just as much rea-
son for saying that the national bank act
- lIO iOouiAptiOu stCt, VI dill Lu6 pension
acts, were passed surreptitiously as for
declaring that the act of 1873 got through
in that manner. The truth is that at the
time OF the passage of the act of 1873 no.
body thought Of the silver dollar or
cared about it, simply because it had
practically been out Of existence for
many years. The silver men were then
getting $1.32 an ounce for the silver in
the market while its coined value was
only $1.29 per ounce, and they did
not care whether it was coined or
not. The assertion that the act of 1873
was surreptitiously passed, that it was
not fully understood, that there was
trickery connected with it, is utterly I'M
founded. Nobody ever suggested such
thing until years after, when the market
value of silver had fallen, and the silver
men found themselves cut off from an
opportunity to unload all their product
upon the government.

The Portland Board of Trade wisely
refrained from attempting in their reso-
lutions to formulate system of finance,
and confined themselves to considera-
ton of the condition that exists and the
remedy. In their resolve demanding
the unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act they are in accord with the view of
other associations of the same character.
which have spoken on the subject. In
the discussions that followed the intro
duction of the resolution it was shown.
however, that silver was not without
friends even in this Eastern city. Even
free coinage was not without supporters.
which goes to show that the silver ques-
ton is not altogether a sectional one,
though it is true that the silver senti-
ment is much stronger in the West and
South than in the East

A test vote in the Reichstag shows
that the German army bill is sure of a
passage by a fair majority. A majority
in the Reichstag is by no means conclu-
sive as to the feelings of the majority of
the people on the subject. To be sure
the campaign was made directly on this
issue, but the enormous power and in
fuence of the government were used in
support of the bill, and it can hardly
be concluded therefore that the result
represents the real feelings of the people
on the subject. 1t is great triumph
for the Emperor and his prime minister
however.

The terrible epidemic of typhoid fever
which has been raging in Ironwood,
Michigan, is believed to be due to the
very bad water furnished by the Iron
wood Water Company. Of five rats in
oculated with the water three died with
in two days. The bad condition Of the
water appears to have been known to the
superintendent of the company, but he
took no measures to remedy it. The
people came very near lynching him
when the facts were known. He is I'M
der arrest and will be prosecuted crimi-
nally in the courts. If the facts are as
alleged his crime is little short of murder
in the first degree.
