JUST RETRlBUTlON.

How q Fat Man Was Constituted the I'm
willing Agent of Avenging Providence.
There are some philosophers who
cling to the belief that there is no fu.
ture of rewards and punishments,
but that we get our just dues as we
go along. Once in awhile there
seems to be some slight justification
for this doctrine. For instance, it
happened that day OF two ago q
lady coming up on the Sixth avenue
elevated monopolized two seats. /
say it happened-for lady rarely
does such thing. The cars were
crowded, every seat beng occupied,
including the two occupied by this
particular sample of the gentler sex.
Several gentlemen came in, took a
longing look at the lady and at the
small, fragile parcel at her side and
politely seized the most convenient
strap. Whatever their thoughts,
they did not express them by word
of mouth. Perhaps they were of
that school of philosophers Of whom
l have Just spoken. II they were
they were waiting for the retribu-
tive justice to come along, and were
possibly wondering what form it
would take. They didn't have to
wait very long, for sudden lurch
of the car at thet urn into Fifty-third
street sent man weighing some 200
pounds plump into the seat by the
side of the astonished monopolist.
That individual gave one plaintive
scream and all was over. The
thoroughly frightened gentleman
jumped to his feet as soon as pos
sible-so quickly indeed that he
never could have been said to have
been down but for the havoc he had
innocently wrought. For there,
smashed as fiat as the traditional
founder, was-well, whatever 1t was
or had been!
Did the unfortunate lady turn and
rend him with her tongueG Did she
tell him what she thought of himl
Not at all. She simply gathered the
miserable wreck unto her bosom and
wept.
No one saw what the wreck was
and consequently could arrive at nc
idea of its awful awfulness.
To tell the truth, the public sym
pathy was with the miserable wretch
thus made the blind instrument IN
the hands of Providence to admins

guilty go along. He was the most

Disturbing the balance of Nature.

Sable island, near Nova Scotia, was
overrun with rats, and the lone is
landers, whose chief duty is the re-
lief of shipwrecked mariners, inn
ported cargo of cats from the Cana
dian mainland. The cats did their
work of slaughter so well that they
soon had to fall upon the rabbits for
food, and themselves became so plen-
tiful that an importation of foxes had
to be made to keep them in check.
The foxes, like the cats, did their
work too well. They not only ex-
terminated the cats, but killed all the
young birds and destroyed thousands
of eggs. Tired of the warfare, the is
landers are now appealing to the gov
ernment to exterminate the foxes

There is a rich field Of study for
some one in the investigation Of the
influence Of the weather upon the
feelings of people. A crowd on a

and merry one. Everybody is an Op-

practically the same in heavy

Early Scientific Reasoning.

Among early scientist -theologians
one question largely discussed was
whether at the redemption it was
necessary for God to take the human
form. Thomas Aquinas answered
that it was necessary, but William
Ocean and Duns Scotus answered
that it was not; that God might have
taken the form of stone, or of a
log, or of beast. The possibilities
opened to wild substitutes for science
by this sort of reasoning were in
finite.-Dr Andrew D. White in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

WANT TO HELP MKINLEY.
An Enthusiastic Club Starts a Subscrip
 tion Fund for the Governor.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Feb. 24.--As a result of an editorial suggestion by the Watertown Times, the Lincoln League, the leading Republican organization of this city and county held a meeting last night at which a movement was started which is likely to extend to all parts of the country.
 The idea is to start a subscription in which the amount will be limited to one dollar, the fund thus created to be given to Gov Mckinley of Ohio as a testimonial of past services to the Republican party, as an expression of sympathy in his financial aff1iction and as provision against his threatened retirement from political life in order to retrieve his for tunes in business.
 The meeting was largely attended and the lproposition was most enthusias ti- cally received. Checks for amounts larger then dollar were offered but were re- fused. The club has appointed com mittee which will receive voluntary sub scriptions, but will not solicit any. Ringing resolutions were adopted.

G., to revise the state military laws, will recommend various radical changes, all of which are likely to meet with gen. eral approval from military men.
 One of the recommendations is that the term of service be reduced from five years to three years. This section will provide for subsequent re-enlistments of two years each until age limit of forty five years Is reached.
 The new law shall also provide for the appointment of board which shall general and the brIgadier general com manding, who will be empowered to in crease the number of infantry com panies of the state from forty, the pres ent number, to fortyeight.

HOLD DIFFERENT VIEWS

 the New Cabinet.
CONGRESS MAKING APPROPRIATIONS

The Next Secretary of the Navy, Herbert, Receives an Ovation W hen He Enters the House-ReCuIar Daily Fight over the AntI-ODtion Bill Takes Place in the EIouse-Rapid Work in the Senate-The Suh-Trcasury Has Only $3,OoO,OOo in Gold Left Now
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The open dis cussions in Congress yesterday were not half so interesting as the private discus sion of the Harrity silver letter and the completed Cabinet of the next adminis- tration. The two subjects were inter- woven in conversation, and many of the views expressed were exceedingly forcible
 Speaking of the Harrity letter, Senator Harris, of Tennessee, said: 'l, for one, will never consent to the repeal of the Sherman law without the substitution of something in it's place that recognizes the use of silver as money"
 Senator Pugh, of Alabama, referring to Mir. Herberts appointment, said: 'He is a Inan of ability and well equipped by long service in the House Naval commit tee for the efficient discharge of the duties of the Secretary of the Navy. Mir. Herbert is the only Democrat of promin- ence in Alabama who agrees with the enemies of free coinage. There is not a man in Mir. Cleveland's Cabinet from the South or West who represents his State or the Democratic party on the silver question.
 If it is Mr. Cleveland's purpose, in making his Cabinet a unit against 90 per cent. of his party, to disrupt or muster it in;o the service of the money kings, he is doomed to the most signal failure"
 Bour!le Cochran said: '1 think it is an excellent Cabinet. MT. Herbert's ap- pointmcnt closes the task of selection Ill very satisfactory manner. Judge Gresl am's appointment 1 regarded as q little unusual.
 Like all unusual things, it had a ten dcncy to disturb one; but, after all, MT. Cleveland has the right to administer the government with his own instruments, and if they are satisfactory to him it is the very best reason why they should be satisfactory to every one."
 "Extremely pleased" defines the posi- tion of Representative Hallowell, of Penn sylvanla.
 "The Cabinet is very satisfactory, in deed," said Representative Wilcox, of Connecticut.
 It Is the belief among the officials of the Navy Department that ex Represent ative McAdoo will be appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy to succeed MT. So- ley. The latter, as soon as his successor Is appointed will make an extensive tour abroad.i
 Mir Peffer, the Populist, referred to the President elects selection for Secretary of Agriculture as n man who Is not in sympathy with Western ideas on any subject and is thoroughly committed to class legislation.

BETRAYED BY 4 COUGH
The Noted Forger Broadwell
 Captured in New York.
ARRESTED WHILE SICK IN BED

His Latest Operations Were in Michigan
 and Ohio, Where He Managed to Beat
 the Perforator, the Banks safeguard"
 He Has Served n Term for Counter
 feittng Years AGo-Is Dying of ofConaump-
 rIon.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 24--The most skilful forger known to the police has been cap tured after a long and hard chase. He i Stephen c. Broadwell, aged 62, formerly furrier and residing with his daughter at No 364 West Twenty-third street. The prisoner has been laid up in bed for four months with combination of dis eases, including kidney trouble, enlarge ment of the heart and asthma.
 It is probable that he will never leave his bed alive. The police, however, have guarded against any chance for his es- cape. Five detectives divide each A hours into watches, and one or two of them are constantly at his bedside If Broadwell grows well enough he will be removed to the prison ward of Bellevue Hospital, there to remain until he can be removed West.
 Broadwelrs method was to buy draft payable to himself on a Cincinnati or Detroit bank and then fill in with paper pulp the holes punched after the figures, to which he proceeded tO add two ciphers. The filling in of the holes and the necessary changes in the written part of the draft were done so skilfully that they could not be detected under a glass. He avoided the necessity of Identification at the paying bank by forging the sig nature of the cashier of the other bank tC a certificate of his endorsement.
 Broadwen operated in Cincinnati under the name of Thomas Hunt. He was sick enough then to pass as an invalid, and he became known at the banks ''as the man with the cough" In Detroit he passed Lansing bank drafts for SIS and $l5 on the Third National Bank and the City Savings Bank after raising them tC Sl, 800 and S1, 800. This was last May. He there called himself Henry Lewis.
 It is believed that he has made $10, 00( or 1000 by such forgeries. For the past six or eight months the country ha: been flooded with circulars describing him and his mode of doing business. During the seventies the country wa flooded with $50 counterfeit bills of th Spanish Bank of Havana, Cuba. So wei was the work done that it could not b b detected ed, and so widely were the bill circulated that the bank had to withdraw it's issue,
 Immediately after the same forger Is l sued $25 counterfeit bills of the same in stitution.
 He was Broadwell, and he tried t l float the bills through a Spanish mer chant of this city, but the latter told tn police.
 Broadwell was caught this time, and i 1881 Was sentenced to five years ill prison

 Persons closely associated with the Judge assert that he comes in obedience to a telegram from MT. Cleveland, so it is highly probable that the little house at Lakewood Is the objective point of the Illinois statesman

The Congressional Record.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The incident of the day in the House was the ovation rendered to the next Secretary of the Navy, Hilary \. Herbert, of Alabama. He entered the hall during the considcra- tion of the conference report on the Army Appropriation bill, and. although he sought to escape observation, he failed to do so.
 He was warmly greeted, and, without regard to party, his colleagues vied with each other in doing him honor.
 Then the Indian Appropriation bill was taken up, notwithstanding the oppo- sitlon of MT. Hatch, of Missouri, who de- sired to call up the Anti-Option bill.
 Good progress was made in the Senate yesterday in disposing of the absolutely necessary work of Congress. Within appropriation bills-the Diplomatic and Consular and the Military Academy were read, considered and passed.
 Then the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill, which apDro- priates about $22, 900, ,00O, was taken up and considered till the time of adjourn ment, all the amendments that were re- ported from the committee having been agreed to, except as to a few reserved for discussion and action to-day.
 There was no discussions sat all on eithe r of the first two bills.
 The only item that might have led to a contest in the Diplomatic and Consular bill was the amendment authorizing the President of the United States to direct that the American Minister to any foreign court represented in the United States by an Ambassador, Envoy Extraordinary, Minister Resident, Special Envoy, oI Charge d'Affaires, shall bear the same designation. But no point was made upon it and the amendment was agreed to

 We notice in your telephone guide that you are prepared to furnish all kinds of Electrical Supplies and an idea has oc cured to our minds that perhaps you could put into practical operation. For several years We have been engaged not only in furnishing the houses of the peo- ple but in sweetening their tempers as well, thus preparing them for the good time coming But we find an influence at work that is fast destroying our Mission ary labors. Human nature loves q change and many of our Customers go around from store to store in response to unscru- pulous merchants who advertise goods at half price, and as usual they find the goods are only worth half price, or the LAST ONE Is JUST GONE. This of course sours their tempers to such an extent that when they get around to- us again to trade you can light match with the fire from their eyes. We think you can help us out by applying radical remedy which was sug gested to us lately while attending the Bos ton theatre An actress appeared on the stage in the garb of peasant girl, and sang a song that perhaps you never heard before Little Annie Rooney" 1t is called. She was singing only few minutes when the sweet, magnetic powers of her voice and the charming simplicity of her manner grew contagious and all at once the whole audience was singing and never stopped until the actress was called out SEVEN TIMES. Everybody who had rheumatism or dyspepsia forgot all about it. Now we see no reason why this reme dy could not be applied at our wareroom We have Several Sweet Nightingales in this City who have charmed us on several occasions and we think they would accept fair Salary if you would fit up room for that purpose so they Could Sing into a large tube that Could be tapped and con veyed into the stores, and when Custom CT came in We Could turn on the music. We are convinced that it would pay, as the Customers would be always Good natured, and then it is no trouble to sell a Parlor Suit, a Chamber Set, Carp pets, Crockery, Pictures, Stoves and Ranges, Shades or anything from the celler to the attic for cash or credit.
