How much Of a hurry was he in?n
We'll, Old Deacon Brewster was always in

to get married, he rode over to Widow Mon

DoRberrv in Dexas.

Down in Southwestern Texas, just about
midway between Houston in the east and Ell
Paso in the west, and very near to the Rio
Grande, the Southern Pacific railway has
built over the PecOs river the highest bridge
in the United States. indeed, it's hight of 800
feet is exceeded by only two bridges in the
world-o one in the Andes of Peru and the
other in the Himalaya mountains. Just be-
fore this bridge was finished. says writer in
Harper's Magazine, one of the workmcn fell
from II and was of course killed. The county
judge was brought from Langty. the nearest
town to the bridge, to hold a ''coroner's
quest The Judge arrived with great con
course Of people, all anxious to serve on the
jury. Proceedings We're begun by examining
the hOdy of the dead man Upon this were
found a loaded revolver and $40 In cash. Per-
ceiving this the Judge said:
There ain nothing to do ahout this case,
gentlemen of the jury. I he man s dead and
it's perfectly plain how he met his death
But what / want to know is what was he do
ing with that gun: that's agin the laws OF
Texas. He amt here to explain but because
one takes it into his head to put on wings and
mount to the skies is no reason why the great
state of Texas should be defrauded. Law is
law and justice is Justice. fine him $40 for
carrying concealed weapons
1t is needless to say that the fine was paid.

why Immigrants Go West.

From the American Artisan 0nd).
The editor of the American Artisan picked
up phrase book for newly-arrived Swedish
immigrants some days ago and ran across the
following Scandinavian American dialogue:
Q. After land in New York shall I there
stay2"
A. mo. You should take train and 20
west to Minnesota or Dakota, where you can
get big farm with little money!
9 Why shall not go to Texas?"
A Texas is not q good place for the
Swedes for to go. The people are not good
like in Minnesota, but bad and fierce. The
people livein second stories and pull up their
ladders at night, or else the cowboys would
rob them. No Swede must go to Texas"
This is no joke, but a verbatim quotation,
bad grammar and all from guide book with
swedish and English in parallel columns and
distributed broadcast over Sweden by the
agents of steamship company. Concerning
It's utter talSehOOd there can be no doubt at
all We give IL merely as a straw 10 show
that the trend Of immigration is toward the

The princess smiled. and when the comedian
reached the last line she leaned ont OF the
box and nodded her head most vigorously, as
though to assent TO the wish thus expressed
IN the last few lines. The house applauded
her so unanimously that the princess half
rose in her seat ana towcd her thanks.
Inc next verse, which also made the infanta
laugh was as follows

Two Bsggars.
From the Louisville Time.

From Jne LOulSVlIIe Times.
Two women came to a merchants door
CAS- a miser he had no match,
One came to beg for the luclSleSs poor
And one for a Kaffee Klatsch
And the bOOkkeeper, bending above his book,
Assumed a remarkably knowing look.
The woman who begged for the luckless poor
Was ugly and old and thin,
So he hurled statistics at her galore,
But didn't come down with the tin.
But the one who begged'for the Kaffee Klatsch
Was youthful and sweet and fair
SO he took out his check hook with glad dis.
patch
And gave like millionaire.
While the bOokkeeper, bending above his
book,
Assumed a remarkably knowing look.

Laat Day 30 the Florida Legislature.
The legislature or Florida "a Gurus i0.
dav f's rs.ari ts prac isl'lg made Do
Is uot % WHOLLY satisfactory RECORD. aud
yot tbo great wl'rrityof The legislators
hare -triVeu to do what they Thought vl s
for thc best interests of The state Most
of the laws that have been enacted ere of
minor importance being largely l".aI Boa
their character Not 80 few of them Nill
bo forgotten long before the neat lc-isla
tu'r assemblies
The e9ort in behalf of railroad com
mission bill was "a strong one, but we are
inclined TO think that florida is bctteroG
without a railroad commission. The state
is sparsely settled, and for her develop
ment more railroads are needed
A commission would hinder rail
road building, because, in obedience to
public cldmor, it would make rates that
would deter capitalists from putting
money into railroads. OF the
railroads already built only a
few pay anything like fair
interest ON the money invested in them.
Some of them do not pay operating ex-
penses and fixed charges. In time they
will be paying properties if not hampercd
by legislative restrictions. When Florida
has all the railroads she wants she will
be in better position than she is now TO
have a commission, and the railroads wi Il
be able, in all probability, to comply with
the demands of a commission without
running the risk of being bankrupted
The Australian ballot system would be
helpful to Florida. It is somewhat re
markable that it did not meet with favor
from the legislature. 1t is no longer an
experiment. 1t has been adopted by
many of the states and is giving great
satisfaction. There is no probability
that those that have adopted it will 90
back to the old system. No class of
voters has reason TO find fault with it, A
system of balloting that gives general
satisfaction is extremely beneficial to a
state. There are no complaints of frauds
and the results of elections are willingly
acqui2sced in.
The people of Florida hoped for much
from this legislature, but they should not
forget that great reforms cannot be
brought about in a day. Reforms require
time and agitation. BY the time the next
legislature meets it will be better under
stood than now what the best interests Of
the state require.
Florida is a great and growing state
The vastness of her resources are only
beginning to be understood. Wise laws
viii assist greatly in her development,
and such laws are seldom enacted hastily.

Millionaires to Help the Canal.

It's stated that number of Cali
fornia milliouairos, including John W
Mackay, have formed what is called the
International Construction Company, with
&l0,0O0,000 of capital to assist in CON
structing the western end of the Mica
ragua canal. Sentiment on the Pacific
coast is, of course, strongly in favor of
the canal. Its construction would help
the Pacific coast states immensely. 1t
would bring San Francisco 10000 miles
nearer New York by the water route.
Such advantage would be sufficient to
give San Francisco and other Pacific
coast cities great boom.
If the California millionaires should en-
gage in building portion of the canal
they would push forward the work with
the energy that characterizes the west.
There would be no such shameful ex-
trayagance and inactivity as charac-
terizcd the work on the Panama canal.
1t is probable, however, that the Inter
national Construction Company will do
nothing unless congress guarantees the
Nicaragua canal bonds. The company
doesn't propose building any part of the
canal on it's own responsibility. It's in
tention is, doubtless, to make money.
The company, however, is a guarantee
that the western end Of the canal will be
constructed quickly if the money for the
work is provided. The growing senti-
ment in favor OF the canal is a pretty
good indication that it will be built.
Mr.. Nathan Strauss, the New York
phllanthropist who won so much pleasant
notorietw last winter by establishing
coal yard at which poor people were
served with'coal at cost, or without price
if they were too poor to pay, has estab-
lished another institution for relieving
the wants of the poor Yesterday in New
York he opened milk depot for the poor.
Unadulterated milk from healthy cows
only will be sold, and the price will be
cents a quart or l cent a glass. Mr..
Strauss is the gentleman who some time
ago was prominently mentioned in con
nection with the postmaster generalship

Oscar, was minister to Turkey under Mr..
Clevelands former administration.
The iconoclastic designers of modern
warships continue to fill Jack Tar's heart
with sorrow. Not content with Topping
off spars and rigging, ringing the fo'castle
bell by electricity, and otherwise destroy
ing the identity of the old-time frigate,
the designers have now arranged that the
captain shall occupy a steel cage or. the
stub of a mast that has been left and
steer the ship by steam and issue orders
by telephone from that eminence. The
very idea of steering from the cross
trees is ridiculous, as any old salt will
agree. About the only things now left for
Jack to do in the old way are to scrub the
deck and splice the main brace.
There were almost as many candidates
for receiver of the Port Royal road as
there will be for governor of Georgia

A foot race from New York to New
Haven was run few days ago. The dis
lance, seventy miles, was made in seven
hours and three minutes. Unless the
young men were training for the messen-

in the race except a small purse There
is no longer necessity for anybody to walk
seventy miles, much less run that dis
