brothers and sisters or to very intimate
friends When his wife has occasion to
speak of him to others she SAYS my
husband or Mr.. Jones" doing the
very thing as matter of course which
the person who IS economical of nouns
and lavish of pronouns fails 10 DO.
A wife who values her husbands dig
nity viii not regard ii as of little mo-
ment whether she upholds this by scru-
pulously speaking of him with respect,
as well as addressing him with courte-
sv, his position in the social world
being helped or hindered by her prac-
tice in this regard.
II the man have an official title, as
colonel, judge, or governor, doctor or
profession, his wife will use that title in
mentioning him in places and on occa-
sions and in the presence OF persons
whenever or to whom this usage will
be in good taste.
Equally a husband invariably speaks
of INV wife" or Mrs Brown when
quoting his better half. as good hus-
bands so frequently do.
She is not Mary or Jennie or Margaret
TO ANYBODY except her own people, and
il is bad form to make the outside world
familiar with her sacred home name.
To children a father naturally speaks
of his wife as your mother" and IN
affeetionate families il is quite common
and by no means improper for parents
TO address one another in the hearing
Of the little ones as mamma and
papa.
Everyday etiquette is trampled un'
der foot in grim and undemonstrative
households. where the pleasant custom
of daily greetings is unfortunately
much of the time in abeyance. Where

Mr.. II. C. Jewett is a man who has de-

that jerome Eddy, 2:1619, would have to
have few colts trot in 2:30 or else take III
his shingle. Today Jerome Eddy has
proved his worth and the efficiency of the
Jewett methods.
When the only covered track was built

crying so loud now, that three of the tun-

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Yesterday Ed Smith, a lineman in the
service of the telephone company, met
with an accident that might have been
fatal. In fact, it is wonder 1t was not
fatal, when it is considered.
Mr. Smith was fixing a wire near the
court house, and was near the top Of a As
foot pole. In effecting the necessary re-
pair to the line his hand came in contact
with a live wire of the electric light COM
pany. His whole body quivered and he
fell, apparently dead, to the pavement
below, distance Of fully thirty-five feet.
Roy Cochran, who wa with him, made an
effort to save him from falling, but the
whole thing was done so quickly that it
was impossible. Mr. Smith was rendered
insensible for some time, but he soon re-
gained consciousness, and DR.. McAdams
administered TO his immediate wants. He
was taken home about $50, and at last
accounts he was getting along we'll He
will recover, but it will be after weeks ol
suffering. His hip bone was badly tract

THE GOVERNOR INTERVIEWED

Governor Lewelling who has been in the
city since Saturday, the guest of Colonel
Webster returned to Topeka last night.
While here he saw two things that were
not advantageous to his party or his cause,
towit: fine soaking rain and the reor-
ganization of the Democratic party. The
rain will effect the calamity howler like it
effects the chinch bugs, and the reoganlZa
ton of the Democratic party means re,
duction of the number OF his party s
"Hessians"
Yesterday afternoon the governor was
interviewed by about fifteen colored men
who wanted him to have Officer Sutton
removed from the police force, but he de-
clined to act, saying that was matter
which belonged exclusively to the police
commissioners. The governor Is little
bothered by the colored folks. A few OF
them voted for him last year and, in the
language of friend of his they have
been trying to run the administration ever

COLONEL HUFFMAN APPOINTED.

Colonel William H. Huffman of this
city received letter yesterday from
Colonel Dick Morris of Atchjson, the new
internal revenue collector, informing him
of his appointment as deputy collector for
this district and summoning him TO
Leaveuworth at once to qualify, as he is
to relieve Mr.. NcCanse by next Monday.
Colonel Huttman's appointment was re-
garded as a settled fact since Morris ap-
pointment for. although Colonel HUT
man leans liHle toward fusion, never
theless be has been for years n personal
friend of Morris, both of them having
been candidates on the state Democratic
ticket some years ago The ties OF friend
ship were stronger than politics and
hence the appointment. The position is
worth about 800 per month, and Is a nice
thing, as it will not materially interfere
with Colonel Huttman's other business in
this city.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Mrs. MalYina Walden had a narrow
escape from the fire at Sedgwick Saturday
night. She was in that city, on the in
vitation of her admirers there, TO sing at
an entertainment given by home talent
and after IL was over she went to the
hoetel and retired. About ! O'Clock the
hotel caught fire, and when she noticed it
the building was enyeloped in flames. She
realized her perilous position III moment
and securing her jewelry and other
valuables jumped from the second story
to the ground below. All her clothes, as
well as her pocketbook containing some
money, were burned which was quite i
loss. as she had very fine costume on
that occasion Her many friends con-
cratulate her on her escape without re-
ceiying any injuries.

CUTE CUNNING FUsIoNIsTS.

TIA fusiouist is to he believed, and some
OF them are worthy of credence. that wipg
of the Democracy WAS not sincere Satur-
dav when they offered to make terms with
the straightouts. He says they are
pledged TO fusion this year. but that by
showing signs OF joining the Legitimate"
they are playing for position with the
Peoples party who, he says, must
fuse in Sedgwick county also this
year in the interest of the state adminls-
tration. The fusion Democrats are III
dreadful pickle over the platform and res
olutions to be adopted at their convention
and desperate chances must be taken.
They must, in order to be even on speak
ing Acquaintance with the national adj
minisuratiou, pass certain resolu-
tiors which are diametricaily opposed
10 the Peoples party principles
and i. Is in order to make the Peoples
Party wink AT these resolutions that they
are fiirting with the StraiSht-outs. Tor
they know that the Popuiists must fuse
in order to please Governor Lewelling. In
other words, they want a club to hold over
the heads of the Populists in case that
party may raise objections to the resoiu-
tions and platform of the fusion Demo
Gratis The Populists will advocate free
! coinage Of silver and the fusion Democrats
will endorse the single gold standard and
! thus both parties will go before the people
| rs a divided house subject TO the fate of
all such structures. OF course the fusion
| Democrats can advocate free coinage Of
! silver but in that went the coolness exist
! ing between them aud the national admln-
istratiou will fall below zero and no offices
! will be the result. A way out has been
suggested and that is 70 make no refer
ence to the financial question at all. but
this would be too manifestly cowardiy
although, as the informant says, similar
thing was done last year by the fusion
Democrats when they refused to refer to
prohibition for the first time In a dozen
years.

THINGS POLITICAL.

The executive committee ordered at
Saturdays Democratic convention will
probably be appointed today or tomorrow.
The fusionists are anxious concerning 1t
as they are desrous of making certain
propositions the acceptance of which will
denend good deal on the committee. The
stalwarts are determined to yield nothing
to the fusionsts on any terms except com
plete surrender aud complete and une-
Quivocal remuneration OF fusion with any
party whatever. If union of the two
branches of the party is to be accomplish
ed, as the fusionists so much desire, 1t will
be on these terms if the stalwarts stick to
their ultimatum.

LITTLE MA RITA Is DEAD.

Martha, the little 4-months-old babe OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Coates, died yester-
day morning at their home, 904 North
Lawrence avenue. after a short but very
severe and painful illness. Her death is a
great shock to her PARENTS, not only be-
cause she was their only child, but because
she was like ray of sunlight in their
home. Their many friends condole with
them in their affiiction. The death of a
bright and innocent little babe like this is
the cause of great sadness of heart always
but particularly when her suffering has
been so very intense and heartrendlng.
The funeral will take place this morning.
