Tho Habit of Carelessness.

In youth men are self reliant, self as.
sertive and self sufficient. Soon they
find themselves mistaken, possibly in lit
tie things at first, for the fact is they are
still small in knowledge and influence.
Hence the chagrin of the first errancy is
softened by the reflection that it's conse-
quences cannot work much harm. Too
often they fail to emphasize the impor-
tance of the value of their utterances as
their personal influences widen. Hence
their testimony without sufficient proof
for themselves begins to work mischief
for others. Then follow surprises, mis-
understandings, alterations, cri1ina-
tions, heartaches and occasionally some
thing worse. Friendships are broken, in
tegrity is wounded. confidence is shaken,
human testimony is suspected.
Now all this is not the result chiefly
of any essentially bad trait in human
nature. 1t arises rather from careless
ness and sort Of insincere habit of con-
doning the fault on the score of personal
insignifcance. sob, / didn't mean itr'
covers multitude of these sins among
our younger friends. But, alas, younger
friends" soon grow into midlife, and the
careless habit, once indulged, barnacles
itself upon age.-Boston Commonwealth.

The Fox. the Badger and Rabbits.

The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. AS to the badger,
what could be more delicate for his very
accommodating appetite than tender
young rabbits? They put flesh onto his
ribs after his fast-often long and COM
pulsory one-in winter. So he digs for
them in the most businesslike manner,
just like mole. He knows where they
are exactly-his nose tells him that-and
in less than two minutes the fore part of
him is buried. All you will see will be
his hind legs working vigorously and a
lot of earth moving. But he gets his
rabbits. Hungry stomachs are hard to
reason with. The badger is, know, as
a rule, nocturnal in his habits, so is a
fox; but where the places that they fre-
quent are quiet and secluded they will at
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse the
order of things. Like humans, wood
land wild creatures are governed by cir
cumstances.
l have at different times met with the
fox and the badger in spots where GER
taiH1y aia-.~t szxk,eot to tlavu. Aud
when l have gone where, according 10
my reckoning, they ought to have been
so far as locality could be relied on
they were not there. Very contradic-
tory experiences one has in looking for
wild things. -Blackwood's Magazine.

lock, who was married to man named
Pepper Of New York on Wednesday, and
who committed suicide today in Chicago,
was the wife of Charles III. Hallock, q
prosperous merchant of Morichas, l.. L.
She was daughter of DR.. Charles Rob-
erts of Hastic, L. /. About week ago
she packed her trunk, took everything
of value belonging to her and left home.
Her husband did not know where she
had gone, nor had he heard from her
until the news Of her suicide and bigs-
mist marriage was telegraphed here this
afternoon.
She married Berthold Pepper, aged 81,
September 9th. He gave his birthplace
as Los Angeles. He is tall, thin and
swarthy. Previous to his marriage he
registered number OF times at the Ash
land house, the last time on the day OF
his marriage. A man who registered as
T. JauHel, San Francisco, was also ac-
customed to appear at the hotel. They
seemed to be the young woman's only
acquRintances. They seemed to come
generally about the same time.

addressed to Mrs. Hastings. 1t had evil

A BATCH OF NOMINATIONS.

A New Minister of Hawaii Among the
Number.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The president
sent the following nominations to the
senate today:
Theodore Runyon, New Jersey, am
bassador to Germany.
A. S. Willis, Kentucky. minister to
Hawaii.
H. M. Smythe, Virginia, minister to
Hayti.
Ellis Mills, Virginia, consul-general
to Honolulu.
W. s. Carroll, Maryland, consul-ge
eral to Dresden.
Runyon's appointment is in the line
of promotion. He was appointed minis
ter to Germany during the recess, and
1ow becomes ambassador.
Albert Willis is an ex-member OF con-
gress, is leading member OF the bar OF
Louisville, and is 30 years old.
Smythe is editor of the Graham Head
light, and is 45 years old. Congressman
Marshall vouches for his Democracy and
ability.
Albert S. Willis, the newly appointed
minister to Hawaii, was at the state
AOpoitAhOhu lOony uho huu q COlliCACAto
with Secretary Gresham. 1t is expected
that he and Mills. the new consul-gen-
sral to Honolulu, will sail for their post
Of duty as soon as their nominations
have been confirmed by the senate. The
nature of the instructions that will be
given Willis is matter of considerable
speculation in view OF the present con-
dition of affairs in Hawaii, but it is be.
lieved he will be authorized to maintain
the statu quo that now obtains in that
country pending action by congress On
the report to be submitted to it as the
result of the mission of Blount.
The appointment OF Willis as minister
10 Hawaii is regarded as official notice
that the islands will not be annexed. A
representative of the annexationiste is
here. with whom treaty could be
made direct, without sending man to
The islands for the purpose. Blount's

Dihlculty Of sAlllng . noat.

tt,tt1&el "a Sailing a tftdts
Watched from the wharf, sailboat
seems an easy sort of craft to manage.
The wind appears to do everything. The
casual guest of skilled skipper likewise
is apt to think that as his host takes
things so easy it cannot be so very diff
cult to handle a sailboat after all. He
regards the warning of experience as
based on the jealousy of competition.
Let him who thinks sailing a science
which its followers try to represent as
hard to learn because they want to keep
1t to themselves take trick at the helm
once.
1t looks easy to keep the boat on her
course. Your friend who takes you out
sailing barely touches the tiller once in
awhile. Some day he asks you to take
the tiller while he goes forward. He tells
you to keep that spire and that tall
chimney in line. You take the ehelm; you
do what you think you have seen him do.
The chimney and the steeple act as if they
We're bewitched. They positively will
not come into line. You observe in a
knowing tone, "She doesn't seem to
mind her helm" But she is minding her
helm, and pretty soon you find out what
jibing means.
Most of the fatalities of summer sailing
are due to the errors of the man who
thinks sailing is easy, who is confident
that he knows all about it, In reality
many a sea captain who can handle big
ship without difficulty does not feel at
ease in command of a sailboat. Boat
sailing is course at the Naval academy
in which the cadets undergo arduous
training under the most skilled instruct
ors.-Boston Transcript.

Amioh Clas.ed with Pa.teur.

patch says: Among the subjects sched-

Bile in Rome next month, but the post

postponement of the congress q party of
prominent physicians OF England,
France and Germany will leave for the
United States the last week in Septem-
ber, and after brief visit to the worlds
fair will proceed to Cincinnati to per-
sonally interview the discoverer. At a
meeting of the Paris clinic of physi-
clans, last week, one of the speakers
coupled Amick's name with Pasteur's

paid high tribute to the medical pro-
fession in the United States.

a romancer to take of his contemporaries,
to burst upon the current story market

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

cuss the Repeal Bill.

Faulkner, Turpie and Jones (Ark.) Dis
cuss the Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 8.-At the close OF
the mornings business Of the senate,
today, Voorhees, called up the repeal
bill.
Faulkner OF West Virginia addressed
the senate. He said he would vote for
the repeal bill, but declared he would
present an amendment for the coinage
Of $3,0OO.000 silver per month until
$500, 100000 was in circulation. He pre-
dicted deficit OF $50,000,000 this fiscal
year.
Faulkner was followed by Turpie of
Indiana, who said he favored bimetal-
lism. The issue was not whether silver
shall be further used as money, but
whether its purchase shall be continued.
The very act OF purchasing was discrim.
ination against silver, because gold was
brought to the treasury. He predicted
an era OF free trade and free ballot;
when these were secured, free coinage of
silver would necessarily follow.
Jones of Arkansas followed in oppo-
sition to repeal as the proposition now
stands, declaring that to redeem the
party pledges the entire Sherman act
should be repealed.
When Jones had finished, it was 8 80
O'Clock. Voorhees, rose and said he
would not ask an unreasonable session,
but he thought half past three was an
unreasonable hour to adjourn. If there
was no senator who had decided to
speak, he would have to ask a vote.
Hale (Rep.) of Maine hoped Voor-
hees, if he could control the situation,
would not consent to an adjournment.
The Republicans had RETAINED from
using up time by answering speeches
made ON the other side, with the excep-
ton of Sherman and perhaps one or
two others on the Republican side who
were in favor of repeal. They had sat
silently in their seats ready to vote at
all times and had taken up more of the
time of the session and they were now
in that attitude, ready and willing and
desirous of voting. -
Voorhees, was rather nettled by Hale's
remarks and replied in rather heated
manner.
Dubois (Rep.) of Idaho said Hale did
not represent all the Republicans. 1t
seemed difficult for Hale to realize the
fact that the Republicans had lost con-
troll OF the senate.
Teller explained why it was he pre-
ferred to proceed tomorrow instead of to-
day. There had been no unnecessary
delay go far as he TELLER was concerned.
He intended to debate this question
until he had thoroughly satisfied him
self that he had discharged his duty.
Aldrich (Rep) of Rhode Island OBJ
tanned the floor, and after brief talk
the senate went into executive session
and soon adjourned.
