reasonable set.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

If France gets into trouble with
the rest of Europe there will be
such an opportunity for reprisals
on the part of Siam that it will test
her virtue to the utmost to resist
it.
1t is all very we'll to canvass the
country for opinions as to the
standing of Mckinley, but it is to
the votes Of the people Of Ohio
that Mckinley looks for his vindi-
cation.
How will the poor people Of this
country relish the idea Of having
their tea, sugar and coffee doubled
in price, by the fellows who pose
as the enemies of high tariff?
The Democratic nurses are hot
over the naming of the baby by
Grover. They assume that he did
not give Francis chance to have
her say.
Grover will have to get new
boss for his business in the Senate
or he is going to get left.

HIS STORY.

The Old Sinner Denies Everything.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 23.-The
States Washington special says:
Representative Breckenridge to-
day filed a plea in answer to the
declarations in the suit of Made
line b. Pollard, for breach of
promise in marriage. He says he
never promised to marry as alleged,
and declares she wrote, saying she
was worried about the engagement
to marry, which had assumed the
condition worse than divorce,
and was requested to see the de-
PENDANT at the Wesleyan uniVer-
sity. He called and she gave him
a full recital of her relations with
one James ROdes, and he advised
her to cOnSummate the contract
between her and ROdes by marri-
age, and subsequently, after full
conversation with Rodes, renewed
the advice. The defendant denies
that any time, or by any means he
attempted to take advantage OF her
youth and ineXperience, to Sc
duce her, or that she was at any
time pregnant by him, or that he
at any time prevented her from
going abroad, or from entering on
any career. He denies that there
was at any time an agreement of
marriage between them, and plain
tiff knew during their entire ac-
quaintance that marriage between
them was impossible"

Decapitates a Priest.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 23.-States'
st. Louis special says: "Arch-
bishop Kenrick, who more than a
half century held almost absolute
power over Roman Catho-
lies west of the Mississippi river,
has been depOsed, and while
he will continue to wear
the title of his coadjutOr,
Archbishop Kahn will take his
place. Twice in his career Arch
bishop Kenricks almost defied the
Papal authority. He refused to
prOmulgate the Baltimore DEGREES
in his diocese, and for long time
vigorously combatted the dogma
of Papal infallibility. For more
than year there has been a
rumor that the aged prelate was
failing mentally"

The annual meeting of the Society
of Friends will be held at the old
Warrington church, near Wells

The Coming Exhibition.

San Antonio will have the honor
of being the second city in the
south to give local exhibition of
postage stamps of the world. This
will be given probably in the
Board Of Trade building on De-
Cember II, Il and Is, under the
auspices of the Alamo City Phila-
teltc society, and will be free to
citizens and visitors on presenta-
tiOn of a members order.
While many may not under
stand or appreciate Philataly
there is no doubt that it is a very
interesting and useful study, and
one that is of an historic and intel
ligent character. Societies for the
promotion of Philately are many
in Europe, and in this country
there are many of a prominent
character.
At the coming Philatelic eXhi-
bitiOn will be found many collec-
ton of local students and many
valuable collections from many
prominent members of Philatelic
societies, who have promised to
loan them for the coming exhibit
ton.

City Electrician J. J. Ryan has been
engaged during his leisure moments for
the past two mon tbs in inventing COM
bination police and fire alarm box, which
he has now completed and is exhibiting
at his office in the City hall.

small revolving pin four inches, an alarm
is sounded to the Central police station
showing that an officer is on his beat.
Pushing the pin eight inches around, calls

Oftwelve inches around, turns in an alarm

times to the Central Office. The box is a
clever piece of work and would be Of
