A Supposed Cholera victim Alive.


In the beginning of September a doc
tor went from small German town to
Hamburg to assist among the cholera
patients Five days after arriving there
news reached his home that in following
his profession he had fallen a victim to
the deadly disease. His previous thrift
less career was Immediately forgotten,
he was mourned as martyr and all
sorts of laudatory compositions were
dedicated to his memory. A lady to
whom he had been betrothed was among
the mourners.
A sensation has been caused in town
now by the news that the young mans
mother has received a letter from Amer
lea in which the son who was supposed
to be dead informs her that he is very
well, and explains that while at the hos
pital in Hamburg he had placed his card
in the pocket of man who had died of
cholera, and who. resembling him in
features, was buried as the DOCTOR

Married at the Head of a Coffin.

Mourners who gathered at funeral
in Elmhurst saw remarkable sight. In
the coffin in the parlor lay the body OF
Mrs. Lucy D. Clay. Friends and rela-
tives were seated about. The Rev. T. j.
Collins. of Scranton. was there to preach
the funeral sermon. Just before the
time set for the services to begin A. B.
Clay, son of the dead woman, walked
into the room leading Miss Lillian Sny-
der. These two were lovers, and they
there requested the Rev. Collins to mar
ry them. When young Clay produced
the required certificate the preacher con-
scented to perform the ceremony. The
bride and groom took their places near
the head of the coffin and with the
mourners for witnesses. they were pro
nounced husband and wife. Then the
funeral services went on.-Cor. Phil
adelphia Record.

About the Spelling of Words.

The Springfield Republican has adopted
the disagreeabe trick of spelling certain
familiar words ending in que without
their full complement of letters. In re-
viewing new book a few days ago it
says, for instance, 1.-The author excels in
bright and amusing dialog," etc. 1t al
ways fatigs us to see such vulgar Eiber-
ties taken with our native tong, and we
think it as much of crime for a liter
airy man to cut off the end of word as
for rog to cut off the end of pig S
tail, for instance. Form is to all printed
language what brog is to the speech of
the Irishman, and plag, we say, be on
the man who would deprive either of its
natural charms. Charleston News and

Sarah Rernhardt Is Disturbed.

Sarah Bernhard is in a great state OF
mind just at present. Her reckless son,
Maurice, has squandered all of his own
fortune and not little of hers at
baccarat, and as his Independent little
wife refuses to support him any longer
they have quarreled and separated.
Then business has not been exactly sue.
cessful of late with the actress. Several
of her ventures have not been rich in
results. Finally they have burlesqued
her Cleopatra. and represent the divine
as mildly dancing and singing ''Ta-ra-ra
Boom-de-ay," and Sarah doesn't like it q
bit. One can fancy the choice but un-
translatable variety of French profanity
with which the great tragedienne dis
cusses this succession Of misfortunes.

Dentistry and Diplomacy.

We notice that the United States lega-
ton is doing duty as a dentists office
and consul generals court. This no
doubt is another good stroke of business
which kills two birds with one stone.
But what if the White House were let
out in part to publican? The Ameri-
can legation is national property and
ought not to be converted into drug
stores or dentists offices. A sense of the
fitness of things or the dignity of the flag
is evidently unknown at the American
legation. Siam Free Press.

David b. Hill in the Senate.

Mr.. Hills influence in the senate is
very much greater than is generally be-
ieVed, though it may not be strong
enough for contention with the admin
istration. In measure Hill has taken
the place of German in the senate. All
the friends that German lost in Chicago
Hill gained, and this gives him sufficient
power in the senate to make himself
quite disagreeable to the administration
If he desires to do SO. The assumption
however. that he is going to put on a
coat of war paint and carry bowie
knife in each boot and a. brace of six
shooters in view does not give sufficient
credit to his discretion and skill as a
political wirepuller.
Notwithstanding the bitterness of feel
ing which is provoked by the New York
senatorial fight. it may be depended upon
that Mr.. Hill will not appear in the SEN
ate in the attitude of an open opponent
of the administration. There is good
reason for believing that Mr., Hill will
not only decline to pose as the leader Of
an opposition, but in spite of all the af
fronts he feels have been put upon him
he will support the administration in
most matters. Where trouble is looked
for by those who are skimming over the
surface is with relation to the comfrma-
TONS There is notion of some people
that Hill will make fight at every op-
portunity. They are probably mistaken
Men who are pretty familiar with the
situation and know Hill very well be-
lieve that he will follow no such line of
policy, but will approve everything and
every person passing his test of Democ-
racy.
It is believed the only thing Hill has
in view is to stand on guard to prevent
the preferment of Mugwumps. His test
of party qualifications will not be per-
sonal support of himself. But he hates
a Mugwump.-Wa Washington Star

Mrs. Lease has withdrawn her name

The appointment of Editor Pierce, of
the Minneapolis Tribune to be Minister
to Portugal gave unbounded satisfac-
ton to the army of friends of that gen.
tleman in Washington. "Gir' Pierce
was formerly Washington correspon-
dent, and haunted the two press gall
leries seeking for information just like
a common reporter. Then President
Arthur made him Governor of Dakota
When the two Dakotas were admitted
into the Union Governor Pierce was
chosen Senator from the North State,
which position he filled honorably
and creditably for two years.
Then he went to Minneapolis where he
purchased The Tribune and returned to
his first love, as a newspaper worker.
His health failed, and he has for the past
year been hunting for climate in which
he can best overcome the asthma. He
is now in New York city, I think, tax
ing treatment from a celebrated spec
ialist. His appointment by Presi-
dent Harrison was a deserved
compliment to an able man.
AS Mr.. Pierce is personal friend
of President Cleveland, it is not i'm
probable that the new administration
will permit him to hold nown the posi-
ton for two or three years-or until the
salubrious climate of Portugal shall
have restored him to perfect health.
Now the appointment of Mr.. Pierce
reminds me that Minneapolis has but

charge thai b. Le orined a
conspiracy wi,,l ,oe - !: Of the
State Department.. whereby the
Massachusetts, statesman could have
access to certain historical papers to the
exclusion of other parties who were also
engaged in historical researches. These
papers consist of unpublished CORE
spondence, diaries and memoranda Of
several of the leading statesmen of the
revolutionary period-notably of Ham
ilton, Washington and Jefferson. These
papers have been purchased at high
price by the authorities, and are slowed
away in the archives of the Department
of State, being in the custody of Mr..
Webster, the chief clerk
1t appears that during the last eight
years the only two men who have been
able to get access to these papers were
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Adams, historians
from Boston. William Henry Smith,
of Chicago, got an order from Secretary
Bayard during Mr. Ceveland's term
four or five years ago, to. copy some of
these papers. But Mr.. Webster was
apparently bigger man than Bayard,
for he refused to let the man from Chi
cago have anything to do with the
papers, and defied the secretary. Just
what Mr.. Webster's ''pull" was nobody
seems to know, but at any rate nobody
could copy those historical documents I'M

and also SuCl OF bH0 OoHdIOtS do oiO hoe
candidates for reelection.
The first thing to occupy the atten-
ton of the Senate was the Anti-Option
Bill. This bill has passed the House,
and will no doubt pass the Senate by a
good sized majority. 1t has been largely
amended in the Senate, however,
and when the House comes to
consider these amendments the
enemies of the measure hope to
get in their work and defeat the bill.
The corn and cotton exchanges through
out the country have put up consider
able money, and maintain here very
active lobby. These men claim that the
bill will be defeated when it comes back
to the House. The session only lasts
some eight weeks longer, and as all Of
the Appropriation Bills are to be formu-
lated and passed in that short time, it is
very probable that the Anti-Optio1 Bill
will die for want of time. Senator
Washburn and Representative Hatch
are both quite confident, however, that
the bill will become a law before the
session ends.
The most important matter under
consideration by Congress just now is
the subject of immigration. Bills for
the regulation of the tide of people
annually seeking our shores are being
considered by both Houses, and there is
no doubt that the result will be law of
some character that will make the prize
of American citizenship Of more value
than it has heretofore been.
Just at this time the eyes of every
body at the National Capital is turned
toward the teeming West to discover
what is to be the outcome of the several
Senatorial contests out that way. Every
'body is quite certain that Senator Davis
will be returned from Minnesota; but
with this single exception, all re-
mains doubt and uncertainty. The friends
of Senator Casey, of North Dakota,
and Senator Sanders of Montana are
specially anxious as to results in those
states, and the newspapers are carefully
scanned daily for news bearing upon
the contests.
There has been considerable curiosity,
also as to the possibility of Mrs. Lease
