A Blackburn Story.

A little story of Senator Blackburns own
telling is floating around in exclusive circles,
says the Washington Post. There is to be
seen in several plate-glass windows rather
fine but high-colored chrome, containing a
race course scene, with Secretary Carlisle,
Proctor Knott and Senator Blackburn in a
club foreground, the whole affair being an ex-
DlOitation of Roach's whisky. the product OF
a well-known Blue Grass diStillery. One day
Senator Blackburn was met at home by his
wife and daughters, who with faces of sup
pressed merriment told him that very fine
picture which would please him had just
come by express and was in the hall. He
went and looked, and 10, the chrome. A
case of the goods came along in its
company. A chorus of feminine vetoes
went up when he took revenge by saying that
it was good and he would have it hung up in
the library. The next day letter came from
the distiller, saying that Mr. Carlisle and
Proctor Knott had given their consent to the
use of their portraits, and that he had taken
the liberty of using Senator BlackDurn's
without consulting him. believing that he
would not object. The senator made the fol-
lowing reply:
DEAR SIR: You have taken great liberty
in using my portrait in your chrome without
first asking my consent, but l forgive you,
since it is the best portrait of me that | have
ever seen. But allow me to call your atten-
ton to a serious anomaly in the composition
of the work of art. You have put me on a
Kentucky racecourse, with my back to a driv-
ing finish and my hand on bottle of the
worst whisky that was ever distilled. Yours,
truly, j. G. S. BLACKBURN.

Accurately Informed.

81 have been told, " said Mr. Dubois, watch
ing the steam hammer in the rolling mill
that a good Zimmerman can break the crys
tai of a watch with that thirty-ton hammer. -
Yes said the Zimmerman, lit can be
DONE"
Il should like to see it." said Mr.. Dubois
eagerly, feeling in his watch pocket.
Il can do it, sir" replied the man.
And will you:' replied Mr.. Dubois, draw
ing out his watch. Come, l am anxious to
see il trled''
He laid his watch on the great anvil plate
says lid Bits. The hammer rose to its full
height, and the next instant all it's pOnderous
weight, with a crushing force which shook
the ground for an acre round, came down on
the watch.
There sir" said the man, "if you don't be-
lieve that crystal is broken just step down
and you can see it sticking to the hammer"
Mr. Dubois swallowed a whole mouthful OF
Jumps and gasped before he could speak.
But forgot to say he exclaimed, that
it was to break the crystal without injuring
the watch"
"Oh, yes" said the Zimmerman. Eyes, I
know 1 have heard that rubbish myself"

Assistance for Brunswick

The amount of money and provisions
thus far contributed for the benefit of the
Brunswick sufferers has been sufficient
to prevent actual suffering among the
needy of that city. The fact should not
be overlooked, however, that it will be
quite a while yet before Brunswick will
be able to do much to help herself. Even
though the epidemic should not assume
any greater proportions than it has at
present the quarantine against her, which
virtually paralyzes her business and in
dustries, will not be raised until frost.
There may be a frost in four or five
weeks, and there may not be one for
two months. There are several thousand
people who will have to be fed until the
epidemic is declared at an end. 1t can be
seen easily, therefore, that good many
thousands of dollars will be needed to
furnish supplies for those vino are in
actual want
A considerable amount of money and
provisions has already been contributed
by the people of the towns and villages of
this state. and our dispatches Sunday
announced that through the efforts of DIR.
jenkins, the health officer of the Port of
New York, and Mr.. c. p. Huntington,
ship load of provisions will
be contributed by the charitable people of
New York city. The New York cargo of
provisions, together with the money the
Brunswick authorities have in hand,
while it will help greatly to meet the de-
mauds of the situation, will not be any
where near sufficient for the city's
needs. An active canvass, therefore,
ought TO be made throughout this and
other states for money and provisions.
There are several thousand people
to be fed for six and it
may be for eight weeks, and
it will require good many thousands of
dollars beyond what is now in sight to
keep actual starvation from entering the
homes of many Brunswick people.
There is willingness in all parts of the
| country to help Brunswick, but unless an
active canvass is made for assistance the
amount that will be contributed will be a
long way short of the amount that is i'm
peratively needed. 1t is to be hoped that
people in all parts of the country will
take hold OF this matter and give the peo-
pie of Brunswick such help as will
| tighten their hearts. even though the cpl
| demic should become more serious.

Reasonable rime For plsoussion.


The silver senators have intimated a
number Of times that they would not OBJ
iect to q vote on the Sherman silver re
peal bill after a reasonable time had been
occupied in discussion. What is a rea-
sonable timer Has not a reasonable time
been given to the discussion of a subject
when the subject is exhausted
There has not a new thought been ad
vanced in the discussion of the silver
question in the last ten days-that is,
thought that has attracted attention and
excited comment Senator Daniel made
an eloquent speech, but he said nothing
that made those senators who
do not agree with his views
wonder whether or not
they were on the wrong side of the ques-
ton. Senator White made an excellent
speech but he simply went over the
ground that had been thoroughly eX-
plored by those who preceded him.
Senators Teller and Stewart have filled
columns of the Congressional Record, but
there isn't a new idea in anything they
have said. The truth is, all there is TO
be said on the present phase Of the silver
question has been said. That being the
case the conclusion is irresistible that
reasonable time for discussion has been
given the minority.
The talk that is now going on in the
Senate is not for the purpose Of enlight-
ening nybody. The purpose of it is de
lay The silverites hope by preventing
vote to force compromise. The minor
ity purpose to defeat the majority. Are
the majority going to let themselves be
defeated With such odds on their side
they surely ought to succeed in accom-
plishing the object they have in view.
Is not the leader of the majority, Sena-
tor Voorhees,, little too lenient with the
obstructionists? If the minority insist
upon talking he should make them talk
all day and far into the night. The
majority would complain, of course,
at having to spend long hours in
the Senate listening to dreary reitera-
tions of statements that have been made
a dozen times already, but they ought to
be willing to make sacrifices for the good
of the country.
The country is suffering, and suffering
greatly, for relief from the effects of the
Sherman silver law, and it is going to
suffer far more if that law is not soon re
pealed. There must be a way to get
vote, and there ought to be talent enough
among the majority to find it.

Almost a Miracle.

Stories of miraculous cases and super
natural appearances are afoat in almost
every part of the world, and the number
of people who believe them is large.
Many of them are told with such fidelity
to details and are so strongly supported
by alleged evidence that even those who
think natural laws are never interfered
with are tempted to believe them.
In the European correspondence of the
New York Sun of last Sunday the story of
an instance of superstition is told that is
particularly interesting, because the fraud
was clearly exposed in the presence of a
large number of people who had placed
implicit confidence in what had been told
them of the miraculous power of young
girl The story is as follows:
A queer case of superstition is reported
from Aliskolcz, Hungary, to-day A
young girl pretended to see the Holy
Virgin daily, and to converse with her
Her mother encouraged the pious, who
brougP presents, and when the priests
interfered the excited crowd threatened
TO ill-treat them. Some days ago the
would-be saint lay in a coffin. Her moth
er told Everybody that the Virgin had
told her to die and she would resuscitate
her on the third day There was terri
| bic excitement in the place, and thous-
| ands prepared TO wait the prescribed
three days in prayer and fasting. The
local authorities came with a doctor to
put stop to the scandalous affair. In
the presence of the crowd the doctor said {:
1t is very serious that she died so sud
denly. We must have post-mortem ex-
animation Immediately the young
saint sat up in her coffin, crying: oh,
don't cut me up. | can be resuscitated
Immediately"
While it would hardly do, probably, to
aver that, nowadays, there is never an
| occurrence that cannot be satisfactorily
explained, still it is safe to say that every
thing that partakes of the miraculous
that is brought to the notice of the public
is, sooner or later, shown to be explaina-
BILE in accordance with natural laws, pro
| vided there was any occurrence at all.
| There are, of course, stories of miracu-
lous happenings put into circula-
| ton all the time, for which
no satisfactory explanation is ever
offered, but it is generally safe to assume
that such stories have no foundation in
fact.
| the doctor the people of Miskolez would
have believed that miracle had been
performed in their town. All the miracles
of these days have about as much founda-
tion as this one.
A few days ago the MORNING News
suggested that inasmuch as builders of
naval vessels found no difficulty in going
m UGH beyond the standard for speed set
for the vessels and thereby winning
large bonuses the navy department
should shove the standard up a little. 1t
might appear to be egotistical to say the
suggestion has been accepted, yet the
fact remains that on Saturday the navy
| department announced that it had formu-
lated new rules 10 govern future tests.
| And under these rules the navy win get
/ the benefit Of much Of the increase Of
/ speed obtained by builders, at the same
/ time leaving the prizes of such size that
] they viii be worth trying for.

1t necessary in order to protect its own
silver money to shut out the silver of
every other country It will not even per-
nit its own coins to be returned from
abroad This is because bogus Venezue-

and elsewhere. The bogus coins contain
the required amount of silver of the nee

worth as much as the good coins, but the

Depew and Krapotkin.
From the Washington Star undJ.

Mr. Chauncey Depew has so far failed to
answer challenge sent him by the anarchists
committee in New GOak to meet Prince kra-
potkin in "A public debate of the question, why
Mr.. Depews property should not be divided
among the anarchists and others, not as rich
as he. 1t may be that in the pressure of bust
ness Mr.. Depew has overlooked this important
matter. If he allows the case to be decided
against him by default and the anarchist com
mittee DEGREES the division Of his property he
may be sorry. He has been treated with I'M
usual courtesy. Z he anarchists ordinarily de-
eide such matters in secret session in their
beery haunts, and do not permit the capitalist
to say word for himself.
