An Interesting incident i'm the Ca-

Sheridan has been playing in Denver,
from which city he was to proceed
direct to. San Francisco. After the per-
Torrance he asked his leading man
to accompany him to the telegraph
office, as he wanted to send off an I'M
portant message. Now 1t so happened
that the actor supporting Sheridan had
been an expert in telegraphy before
taking to the stage. AS soon as they
entered the Office Sheridan handed in
his telegram with orders to rush it..
The ex-operator, standing by his side,
heard the instrument click off the fol-
lowing message:

cisco, Cal: Engage best man you can
find for Edgar; Mr.. - (naming his
leading man, the ex-operaror), too weak

"What do you mean?" calculated
Sheridan, turning all sorts of colors, for
the expression on the face of his com

'Mean!' shrieked the leading man,

Melliferous p. Chubbins, naturalist.


There is an old negro in this city

beyond the popcorn venders shop. .Peo-
pie who use the electric lights often find
small holes in the glass globes, which
they have to patch up with putty.
This old fellow says that he has seen
the ordinary house fly, which often
passes off for caper with boiled NUT
ton, alight on one of these globes, cut
a ridge with it's serPated hind legs and
then with its saw-like teeth cut clear
through the glass. It then goes inside
to see if the light itself is not a big
lump of extra clarified sugar. He says
that the fly eats the fine glass dust and
considers it an excellent substitute
for calomel in removing bile from the
system.-Florida Times Union.

There appears to be some doubt whether
the Rev. Father Hall, the bishop elect of
the Vermont diocese, will accept the cleo
tion, and if he will be released by the
English order of Cowley Fathers, to which
he belongs, should he wish to accept. 1t
is understood that letter written by him
is now on its way to the Vermont commit
tee, asking for additional time for consid-
Grafton. The Churchman, the leading pa
per of the Episcopal church, takes the
ground that Father Halls confirmation
ought not to be considered "until he has
divested himself, formally, publicly and
fully, of any relations with an alien or
even domestic order or authority which a
bishop of the church could not consistent
ly maintain" "a bishop of the church
in the United States" the Churchman
adds, "must not only be citizen of the
country and in full sympathy with its po-
litical ideas, but he must be free man.
The friends of Father Hall, on the Other
hand, have no doubt that this is exactly
the position he would occupy should he
accept the bishopric.

For two weeks past the House commit
tee on ways and means, who are to formu-
late new tariff bill on the Democratic plan,
have been giving daily hearings to manu-
facturers from all parts of the country to
see what they say as to the measure of pro-
lection needed to enable them to continue
their business. Almost every industry has
been representation and steel from the
central states, woolen and cotton from
New England tin-plate from st. Louis,
knit goods from New York, and so on
through the whole list, not emitting mar
BILE and slate from Vermont. The facts
which have been thus brought out have
been thus brought out have been both in
structive and interesting. In every case
urgent reasons have been presented why
the present protective tariff should be con-
tinued. To the surprise of the Democrats,
manufacturers have shown no disposition
to be caught by the bait of "free raw ma
terials,n and men who earn their living by
the work of their own hands, speaking for
themselves, individually, or for great bod
les of other workingmen whom they repre-
sent, have shown that they understand
perfectly that the promise of cheaper
goods means starvation wages. A knit
goods manufacturer from Little Falls, n. Y,
told the committee that he formerly worked
at loom in England and he knew from
his own observation that while the rate OF
wages paid in that country averaged only
S165 to $40 year, in this country it was
from S4O0 to $3.50. A workingman who
came to this country 20 years ago said his
wages were only $3.50 week there, while
here they were SIS. Another, flax dress
er, said men of his craft earned 90 cents a
day in England and 81 in this country.
The president of the American Tin
Plate association, in asking the committee
not to commit breach of faith by repeal
ing the tin plate clause of the Mckinley
law, told them how the industry was flour,
ishing, and tin ware was now cheaper than
ever before. The removal of the duty
might cheaper the dinner pail for a while
he said, "but what would the laborer have
to put in it?'' A pottery manufacturer
from Baltimore, speaking in behalf of y,
600 workingmen of that craft, urged thai
the tariff be continued so long as Ameri
can workingmen can earn 60 per cent more
wages than are paid to the workmen il
the same line in France, Germany Of
England, while pottery is practically a'
cheap in this country as there, and the
grade of goods is constantly being i'm
proved. Columns of testimony of the same
kind might be reproduced. What the eff
feet will be upon the committee cannot be
stated, but the hearings have shown more
conclusively than ever what both manu-
facturers and workingmen think of the
protective system. There is an anomaly
about it, however, for the committee are
evidently trying to find what rate of pro
lection the different industries require
while the Democratic platform declared
the whole system to be unconstitutional
the eliminating atrocity of class legisla
tion," and the only lawful tariff tariff
for revenue only.
