WASHINGTON, Sept. ga white man
about 2S years of age, in some unexplained
way, found his way into the lower regions
Of the White House, and meeting the col
ored cook said: Il want to see father"
WHO is your father!' the cook asked
him. "Mr. Cleveland, of course was
the response.
Just then Policeman Heller appeared
upon the scene and saw at glance that
the man was not altogether right, and SO
he dealt with him accordingly
our father is out in the garden" he
told the mysterious visitor. Come with
me and we will find him" Arm in arm
they started toward the door, the intruder
thinking he was going to meet the presi-
dent, but the officer knew that he would
land him in the watch box
On their way to the box, the officer asked
the man: What did you want in the
White House?" ~ wanted that chair ~
was his response.
What chairf'' THE presidents chair.
Don't you think the president fills it
satisfactorily" mo, / don't" was his
reply, "and intend to getit by fair means
or foul. Give US each pistol and I'll show
you VINO Will get lt-Qulck."
When they got to Matchbox they found
Policeman liable on duty.
Before the officers knew what was going
on the prisoner grabbed the policeman's
blackjack from his pocket, evidently
thinking he was going 10 get pistol He
tried to use the club on the officer, but
both officers grabbed him, and the strug-
gle lasted but few minutes before the
man was overpowered The crank was
conveyed to the police station, where he
gave the name of Joseph Washington. and
said he came from Pennsylvania. A charge
of being a suspicious character was filed
against him

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-In the senate
nothing was done. PETER began another
long speech against the repeal bill, it
being his third, and was still speaking at
adjournment. An executive session was
held.
In the house Fithian and Morse called
each other liars-and there certainly was a
lie out somewhere-but no blood was
shed. Then johnson made an odious ref
erence to Breckinridge's trouble with
Miss Pollard, which Breckinridge passed
by with retort imputing lack
of gentlemanly courtesy to johnson.
The two named and Black of
Illinois spoke on the election law repeal
bill. The house passed a bill disoualify-
ing land registers and receivers from de-
termining cases in which they are inter
ested

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80 - Many COM
plants of inadequate letter carrier service
are being received at the postoffice depart

the country. No action can be taken on
them, however, as the free delivery sys-

due to the cutting off of S5O0,O0o from the

lsHPEMING, Mich, Sept. 29.-The
Mansfield mine, near Crystal Falls,
caved in this morning, entombing 40
men. The chances of escape are very
slight, as the water in the mine rises
fast, and the ore and ground are very
soft.
The scene at the shaft is heartrend-

ing congregated there, and their
grief and despair is piteous and in
describable. The rescuers are work.

Demand for Snif Enera,

All-round filters. as they are denom-
mated in the New York ~dry-goods stores,
are about the best paid women in the
business. Thousands of shop-made coats,
cloaks, suits and costumes are sold in a
day. These are accurately cut, but
there is generally some alteration need
ed to make the garment fit the Gus
toner. Now the all-round filter who sees
at a glance just where the defect is II
can tell how to correct It with the least
possible cost of time to the firm is sure
of a good position. constant employment
and a salary in the n%eighborhood of 800
"A month. Any filter can fit, but these
filters must fit like lightning, as the
alterations are paid at the rate of 80
cents an hour. Perfect figures are as
rare as perfect tempers. Nincty-ninc
women may take IA forty-inch bust
measure, but not a garment of that di-
mension will fit. II the waist Is not too
long the shoulders may be too high, or
vice versa. but the filter will fill her
mouth with pins and take n seam in
here and another enc there, and the fit
will be perfect when it comes from the
operator.

Another Turn Of the Wheel.

To the Editor:
While the perpetual motion wheel Of time
whirls on humankind die and are cremated or
buried, and that Is the only one thing the entire
world does at the same time. In view OF this
serious fact Il ia really OF small import to hui
manity whether the NTH wheel OF a dog cart or
gun vehicle travels faster on its top or on Its
bottom. than does the front or rear wheel Of a
baby carriage when pushed by a man whose wife
has twins, just for the fun OF buying peram-
bulators. Does It matter much who spoke OF the
periphery OF Chicago being square, fast or slow.
or why they call 1t the Windy city. when the
Hub makes people tired to hear them blow about
their beans and the purity Of their water? II
the Ease Is pressing, WHY not make all the mes

to invent a wheel TO beat Zimmerman or the
