The Prince of Bulgaria was greatly amused
recently while travelling between Sofa and
small country town. He occupied his mag
nlhcent private car. At one of the small
stations the doors were suddenly opened and
three peasants entered and took their places
on the upholstered seats. They were con-
graduating themselves on getting a ride in so
magnificent a car, when the guard appeared
and ordered them to leave THE presence Of
| their prince. They were so frightened when
they heard the name of the occupant of the
compartment that they were unable to speak.

A Burglar pemoralized.

IT once invented said man who lived In
the suburbs to a New York Sun reporter, "a
burglar demoralizer that was very effective In
its way. but I never got it patented because
didn't think L ought to. It was very simple
contrivance. 1t consisted merely of stout
wire stretched across the floor at such dis
lance from the door and windows that anyone
entering would get under Roadway before
reaching it. and low enough so that he would
fall over it. There had been a number OF bur
glaries in our town, and so l fitted up the
lower floor of our house with the demoralizer
We adjusted the wires the last thing at night,
when we were locking up.
"One night-about three nights 1 think Il
was after we had set them up-we heard a
noise at the back door, and we knew that
somebody was coming. We gathered around
the head Of the back stairs and listened The
burglar got in without much trouble and
closed the door softly behind him and then
for a moment everything was very still Then
there was great thud that fairly shook the
house, then another moment Of stiffness and
then the suppressed, but steady sound OF a
human voice. 1t was the burglar sitting on
the kitchen floor and cussin'.
After awhile we moved around little up-
he got up and went away He didn't take
anything, but Mrs. Suburb said she had
rather he had taken everything there was In
the house than TO hear him swear so and that
is why never got the demoralizer patented
It was effective, but it would have seemed
like Offering premium on profanity"

they are dressed in the costume of the
peasantry of that country.
Rye bread and Swiss cheese and beer was
the order given, for these two people are
doing the fair as they find it. They were
waiting for their luncheon, and the woman
talked of the beauty OF the girl who had gone
for it, She wondered If that girl ever saw,
ever heard Christine Nilsson, and a lot of
other things. The man suggested that his
companion might ask the girl and thereby
pick up story.
But she probably cannot speak English
She is not long from her fatherland poor
thing, and don't like to embarrass waiter -
You might try" said the man.
So when the order was served, the lady,
looking at the waiter, who, by the way, was
brunette, said: Il thought Swedish girls
were blonde is it not SOP
Most OF them are, " was the quick reply, in
good English.
Encouraged, the lady continued: Tell me-
my good girl, how long have you been away
from your native country"
About nine years"

Chinese Exclusion.

Congressman Geary must be as child
like and bland as joaquin Miller tells us
the heather Chinee is. With a perfectly
straight countenance he told the House
day before yesterday that S25, 200 would
have been sufficient to rid the country of
unregistered Chinese had the federal of
ficers gone about the enforcing of the
Geary law in May in a proper manner
The Chinese, he said would have taken
no risks; rather than to have taken the
risk of being sent back home they would
voluntarily have left our borders
That is Mr. Gearys theory, and it fits
his case very well. But it is weak. The
Chinese in this country are controlled by
the Six Companies, a.mysterious organiza-
tion at San Francisco composed of re-
markably shrewd men. The Six Compa-
MES is very rich, and retains the best
legal talent TO be had; therefore the Six
Companies was thoroughly informed as TO
every loophole and kink in the law 1t
knew how many Chinese there were in
the country, how much it would take to
, transport them, how much money was
| available for transportation purposes.
how long it would be before another ap-
preparation could be made, the cost per
head for transportation, and everything
else needful TO be known. Under such
circumstances is it reasonable to suppose
that blowing of horns and beating of
tomtoms would have frightened the Chi
nese out of the country
The Chinese simply took advantage of
the weakness of the law occasioned by
the failure of congress to make an appro-
priation sufficiently large, and remained
in this country. They beat US at our own
game. This being the case, the question
now is, shall we give them another op-
portunity to comply with the law, or kick
them outl
The Six Companies, its followers and
the Chinese government have reached the
conclusion that this government means
business with regard TO the exclusion
law, and assurances have been sent 10 the
Senate that if the operation of the law be
suspended for six months the Chinese
residents OF the United States will en-
deavor to comply with the law. And it
seems that under the circumstances il
would be better TO grant the extension
than to provoke retaliation upon Ameri-
cans in China.

Nervous Franohman.

Among Mr.. Lester Wallack's Memories, -
says the Youths Companion. are some relat
ing to the most nervous creature" he ever
saw, Signor De Begins, a singer, who came
over to the United States in the same ship
with Mr.. WalIack and his father in 1893 He
was about six feet in height portly and pom
pous and wore q huge velvet cloak and
black velvet cap. HIS grand appearance made
his childish ignorance and cowardice all the
more amusing. Everything he saw oiled him
with wonder, which he expressed without re-
serve,
Two nights after the ship sailed, the cap
tain, thinking it was coming on to blow, sent
aloft TO shorten sail De Begins was excited.
oh, ali, mon capitaine, de man What he
go up dere for? Why he go up de polei"
He is going up to reef the topsail, replied
the captain.
ITO do what?"
ITO reef the topsail''
ITO reefa de top of de sail? In de dark?
Mon Dieu! now he go higher, and without
candle"
He was never seasick, but was so timid that
he was happy only in dead calm
When the rest Of the passengers we're scold-
| ing about the delay he would say:
All it is beautiful; it is a callum to-day.
am not alright. When it blow I am alright.
! To-day it is a callum, and l go to play veest.'
Mr. Wallack, who was then hardly more
| than boy, used to climb to the mizzentAp
! with book in his pocket and sit there with
| his arms around a rope and read by the hour.
! The first time that De Begins saw him going
! up the shrouds he shouted:
| "Ha! look at de young Wallackl Don't go
up dere, you fool. Suppose de strings was to
| brokel"
| One night it was blowing hard, and the ship
| was taken aback." Mr. Wallack's father
| being an old sailor, knew what it meant, and
| sung out to the steward:
| shut in the headlights"
| The next morning the sea had gone down,
and De Begins, who had been dreadfully
| scared, said:
Il was not the only one alright. There was
| the old Wallack, he was alright. l heard
| him call to de steward to give HIM light to
| die by
On the first day out, when the ship was ION
| the wind - lying pretty well over, De Begins,
only haf-dressed, stuck his head into the
main cabin and said:
| Steward where is de steward Aska de
| captaine why the ship she goes so crook
| Tell him de Stgnor de Begins cannot shave -
| Standing one day beside the wheel he said:
What that man he do, he turn de wheel
aroundI'
he steers the vessel" the captain
| answered.
What is dat he keep a-looking at like a
| fool?"
That is the compass He watches the
| compass and steers the vessel by it,"
"Hal dat is umpick' lhumbug.l
| How do you suppose we find our way
| across the ocean them asked the captain.
You get de ship by de shore, you put up de
sail, de wind she blow, and you go dis way
! and dat way, sometimes de straight way and
after while you get dere by chance, God
knows how And yet you tell me dat de man

Gov Waite of Colorado has switched off
from the bloody brides business to organizing
populist success in the next presidential cam
paign. He wants partner in this new con-
tract, however and has offered to let Gov.
Tillman OF South Carolina in on the ground
floor In fact, he wants Tillman to begin the
job by knocking hole in the solid south. Out
at st. Louis the Colorado governor fired of
this proposition at his excellency of South
Carolina: If you will inaugurate a new re-
beilion-a secession from the Democratic
party pledge you that the west and north
west will vote populist President into office
Carry hot single state In the solid south for
the People party and the thing is done -
Waite didn say who this first populist Presi-
dent was to be. and perhaps this was the rea-
son why Tillman did not promise to under
take his part OF the contract. Perhaps too,
he remembered that he had tried, last year.

The people of Tennessee are taking
proper steps to prove to Senators Bate
and Harris that they do not represent the
public interests in their course of action
in the Senate. The mass meeting at
Knoxville, which protested against the
blocking of the passage of the repeal bill,
will not be without its weight of influence.
and the example of the Knoxville people
should be followed at once by other com
munities. kilograms, letters, resolutions

the filibustering senators until they are
forced thereby to see that they are going
counter to the wish of the people.

Chairman Wilson, of the ways and
