A GREAT SORROW.
The Street Arabs Disappointment
Could Find No Salye.

New York Tribune: A newspaper
man crossing City Hall Park about 3
A NJ on a chill October morning was
arrested by sobs coming from a bundle
Of rags crlrled up on one Of the benches
The gentlemen who usually occupy
these reserved seats had all sought the
warmth Of the police stations, and, Won
dering what kind of tramp it was that
had been hardy enough to remain, the
reporter inspected the sObber, whom be
found to be small boy.
What are you crying for, SOnny?'
was asked; but only sObs came for ans
Wer.
Whats the matter, my 1ad?"
"Nothin'.' he bllrted out.
street boys don't cry for nothing
said the reporter, who knew the breed
we'll Has some one been humping
you?'
well, I guess not said the little
man, Indignantly, sitting up and drying
his eyes at the bare suggestion.
Come, now, I'll believe that was it
if you don't tell me the truth. What's
the trouble?''
de hardest kind O luck" answered
and lost almost all my pile to begin
with, so I couldn't pay for a lodgin'
and have anythin' left over to buy a
stock of papers in de mOrnin'. I walked
about till 1 got tired and den I set down
here and fell asleep. / was mighty
hungry, I tell you, and began to dream
Of grub.
I dreamed that I was a-lookin' in
at the window of a coffee and cake sa-
loon, watchin' the big cook in a white
cat and cap brownin' sinkers on his lit
tie iron platform with de gas under
meath and a-fryin' his wheats, when a
fne-lookin' gentleman comes up behind
me and says: Come right in with me,
sonny, and We'll have a square meal.
I went in wild him like a shot, you bet,
and the waiter set down a big juicy
beefsteak all covered with onions be-
tween us.
:" I didn't order beefsteak,' shouts
my friend, kinder mad like I want
better stuff n DAT. I've been winnin'
to-day and he pulls out big wad O
bills and shakes 'em in de walters face.
g Beg pardon says de waiter, when
he sees the roll. Perhaps de boy will
take de steak and onions, then?'
L" The boy ken have it if he wants
ter says me friend, but l was goin' to
order roast duck stuffed with mush-
rooms for two. Which would you IA
Their have, sonny?' says he.
'Well, I'd tasted steak once before,
but roast duck 1 never tasted, so I said
I'd take duck, too, and de waiter carried
de steak off. He was a long time
bringing that duck-a mighty long time
and before he got back l woke up
and the newsbOy's sobs broke out
afreSh
''Wel, what is there to cry about?"
asks the reporter
IF hadn't been so hanged perticaler
I could a eaten dat steak and onions
before I woke UP, couldn't II" retorted
the lad angrly, land now I'll never get
a chance at another" and he wept
again.
The touching disappointment seemed
so odd to the reporter that he straight
way provided the dreamer with the
price small steak, and walked away
Illuminating. When he related the story
to friend, who has a vast experience
of dead-beats, he was surprised to hear
that the dream story was not a new
one, but even the expert had never
heard Of it's being used as a money
drawing scheme before.

CONSTITUTION AT FAULT.
A Senator Presents Res oil ution for
Its Amendment.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 17.-Lieut.-
Gov. Gill presided in the Senate this
morning for the first time since Gov.
Altgeld went South three weeks ago.
Senator Seibert presented a resolution
which asserts that the pledges made
to the people in the last campaign re-
main unfulfilled, chiefly on account of
the present Constitution of the State
and the abuses which it fosters, and
provides that the question of calling a
conven ton to make a new constitution
shall be submitted to the voters at the
next general election.

HOW BUZZARDS KILL SNAKES.
The Cunning Birds Utilize the Dull
Thud to Great Advantage.

Il once Observed said Lamartine
Gibson to a st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat
man. what was to me a new and in
teresting sight-that of a half-dozen buzz
yards killing a snake. 1t was years ago,
when l lived as boy down on farm
near Sheboull Ill. One June morning
/ sat on a rail fence under a walnut tree
overlooking a field Of growing wheat.
when I observed high in the air two or
three buzzards sailing about, just as
lazy and delightfully."- smooth as one
could imagine, around and around in
circle. It was not long until several

! Topeka, kas., Feb. 1.-THE state
troops have been sent home, the armed
posse of deputy sheriffs disbanded, the
| epubicans and populists have laid
down their arms and the war is over.
The developments Of the day are re
garded on all sides as a decisive victory
for the republicans. They secure by
the terms of the compromise the undis-
puted possession of representative hall
in the capitol, the main point for which
they have been struggling. The popu-
lists secure the hollow privilege of
meeting, undisturbed, in some other
place.

Destruction of American Birds.

Mr.. John Worth, in the nineteenth
Century, gives some striking facts
about the rapid determination of the
birds of North America. The advent
of the pillow and the frame hut Of the
settler is gradually driving the feath-
cred tribe from its old haunts, and
what nests are spared by the pillow are
only too often destroyed by prairie
fires. The heath hen used to be seen
in autumn in packs of from 100 to 200
birds each; now the number in covy
rarely exceeds six or eight. The sharp
tailed grouse and the wild turkey will
soon follow the bison and the moose
into the aniInalia of the past P:of.
Roney asserts in the Chicago Field
that in some OF the vast breeding COL
onies alone some 900 600. 600 pigeons
were sacrificed to Mammon' during
one nesting season, and, even allowing
for exaggeration. the extent OF the
slaughter is beyond question The
remedy is not easy TO seek Mr. Worth
suggests an act of congress TO prevent
bird destruction throughout the United
States.

Victor Maurel. This character IS the
central figure of the story and is upon
the stage most of the time. The change
of style in Verdi's works first was no
ticeable in don Carlos" and contin-
ued in Aida" the ''Manzoni Re-
quiem," and ''Otello," and finds its
culmina ton in his "Falstaff." Much
of the change in the latter production is
creditable to Sig. Arrigo Boito, the noted
librettist, in whom Verdi found a
collaboration worthy his accomplish
ments, and one whose assistance gave
inspiration to his efforts. Boito is thor
oughly versed in stagecraft, ana his
libretto, an adaptation from Shakes
peare, is rich in poetic sentiment,
dramatic incident and lively action.
The work throughout is coacise and
admirably balanced. In 'Otello,' the
tragic opera, the ibretto is occasional
ly made subordinate to the music. but
in ''Falstaff" the music is made only to
erbellish the poetry regardless of its
own effect. The orchestration is ex-
cellent, the charming smoothness and
coloring producing delightful effect
Musical history gives the first opera
heard in Europe as Daphne" per-
formed in 1894. It was at once pro-
nounced an unnatural DRAMA" and
was the object of much ridicule and
criticism from people who maintained
it absurd that the actors should sing
instead of speaking their lines. At
that time it was bold experiment to
attempt to revive in modern Europe
the Greek drama, but the Greeks" as
they were called. held their way
courageously. and in fifty years the
opera was the favorite form of music in
all European countries.

. GEN. VALLEJO WAS ABUSED.
The Yankees Robbed Him. but He Liked
Them

At the time of the influx of Ameri-
cans to California the Spanish general.
Vallejo was literally monarch of all
he surveyed" His lands were of the
extent of German principaiity: his
cattle roamed "a thousand hills" his
horses numbered far into the thou
sands.
He welcomed the strangers. he en-
couraged and assisted in the annexa-
ton OF the country: he gave right and
left OF his possessions. Many whom he
trusted robbed him. many whom he
benefited proved ungrateful: yet he
gloried in the progress of California,
and he was too proud to complain on
his own account
Il like the Yankees. he used TO say
Il would rather be swindled br them
than by anybody else: they do it so
scientifically"

spirit. wished TO give the world facts
concerning injustiees which the family
had endured. he said:

Cunning in the use of language to
give false impression is Yankee trick
celebrated in song and story. Many in
stances of its use come to light in the
testimony given in courts. An illustra-
ton of such dishonest craftiness is re-
lated by Maine gentleman. A man
came to him wanting him to buy a
share in a country lottery in which the
principal prize was horse. "Ill take
one" he said, ''if you'll warrant me 1
shall draw the horse" ooh, yes" said
the seller, glibly pocketing the cash.
