A Newspaper Library.

There is at Aix-la- -Chapelle curious
museum library containing thousands of
newspapers. 1t was founded seven or
eight years ago by Oscar Forkenbeck,
who collected newspapers as other peo-
pie collect stamps or autographs. He
spent his entire income for 40 years on
the dailies published all over the world
and printed in 30 different languages.
Finding himself the happy owner of 1O,-
900 files, he founded the museum, ap-
pealed to the newspaper world to assist
him, and now occupies his own time and
that of three assistants indexing and ar
ranging the rapidly increasing collec-

The Work of a London Writer.

''T. P" stands alone among popular
journalists in that practically all his
work is done for one paper, The Weekly
Sun, of which he is the founder and ed
itor. He knows as well as any one the
value of his own pen, and he takes care
to write the most important parts of the
paper himself and to append his famous
initials to all his work. A casual glance
through a number of the paper will serve
to show the amount and variety of his
weekly labors.
First there is review of the ''book
of the week." which invariably extends
over five closely packed columns. This
article, always conspicuously brilliant.
would be a good two days work for
any writer. Then there are the editorial
notes from one to two columns: an inter-
view with some celebrity, one column;
theatrical critiques, two or three col
umns. and lastly few paragraphs on
the correspondence page. All these are
signed IT. P" Yet Mr.. O'Connor con-
trives to keep in the forefront of the
political battle and also to write an oc-
casional book.-London Tit-Bits.

evacuations of the bladder, often accompanied by a
slight burning smartng sensation, weak ening the

Do You Use GasolinePl

Relative to the great danger connected
with the use of gasoline, whether for
beating or lighting purposes, and its liza
bility to explosion, such as was recently
witnessed at the NJ. E. parsonage, the
from DIR. Andrews, an au-
thority on the subject, are of value:
"Gasoline is one of the most dangerous
of all explosives, for the reason that it is
so generally handled, and for the further
reason that the manufacturers OF gaso-
line stoves give no warning nor instruc-
tions regarding the use of gasoline, but
contra-wise falsely strive to make people
believe that the use of these stoves is
perfectly safe 1t matters not what
methods to secure safety may be devised
by the stove maker, its use can not be
perfectly safe for the explosive nature
of the gasoline still remains, and it is
never safe when exposed to air and flame.
1t is more dangerous than gunpowder,
dynamite, or nitrO-glycerine, for they are
exploded only by contact with flame or
the concussion of the substance itself.
So volatile is gasoline that a pint placed
in broad vessel on the floor of closed
room, in an hour would become so en-
tirely evaporated, and so impregnate the
air that on lighting match it would ex-
plode with disastrous results. A pint of
gasoline will render two hundred feet of
air explosive. Gasoline, when confined,
will not explode, but must be mixed with
a certain quantity of air, and herein is
the danger, that it is most frequently
handled by those entirely ignorant of its
nature. 1t is not safe to have it about a
house"

REPUBLICANIsM has won a notable
victory in Belgium by the adoption of a
revision of the Constitution at the de-
mand of the labor organizations granting
universal suffrage. Every man is to
have one vote, and property owners will
have several, dependent upon the
amount of their property. The tendency
in all the governments of Europe is
toward Republicanism, and in some of
them the question of Kingly rule is a
matter of only few years.

PROMISES.

II may be that my course Of life will run
Ger many rough and devious way,
By stony path or valley dark
Where scarce the blessed light of day
Shall ever enter; still, if so,
lis not for me to idly weep or sigh,
Since thou thy promise true hast given:
~ will guide thee with mine eye"
1t may be that the plans which have made
Win all be thwarted or forever put away;
1t may be that the prayers which have prayed
VIII ne'er be answered till the judgement day.
God knows, and thus it is not meet
That a murmur or complaint should make,
Since He the words of comfort gives
Il ne'er will leave thee nor fOrsake.'
Ii may be that my lips will often drink
The bitter dregs which mingle with lifes sweet
But, Father, keep my heart from cen sigh,
That breathes breath gainst all thy plan:
complete,
For thou hast promised ''all sufficient grace"
That thou the same art ''ever and today
And over all, the promise sweet and true,
peace! am with thee, cen alway!"

THOSE tariff reformers who have been

THOSE tariff reformers who have been
advocating an increase of the tax on
whisky as means of raising additional
revenue, made necessary by a reduction
of the tariff, are said to be little dubious
as to the effect of such a plan. 1t has
been proposed to raise the revenue from
80 cents to S1.15 per gallon. Since
Cleveland's induction into Office "moon-
shining" in the South has taken a squirt,
and a further increase in the revenues
would still further stimulate this in
dustry until the whisky product, with
increased tax, would not return the
present revenue. Evidently some other
means will have to be found to increase
the governments revenue other than
raising the tax on an every day Demo
cratic commodity.

Friendship Between Horse and a Dog.


A plumber at Narragansett had horse
81 years old, which was used for carry
ing around lis maSter's material when
that was necessary, but spent most of its
time in small pasture. A fox terrier.
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion o. the old horse.
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de-
lighted as when the horse would begin to
roll in the grass, which it often did, ap-
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about in every direction and bark
for pure joy.
At night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body.
One day the neighbors heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the terrier ON the dead body,
howling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained with the body until it was
removed for burial.-New York Tribune.

a tax of 500. This will in a measure

CORPORATION ADVOCATE oLNEY.
New York Press.
How much longer is Richard Olney,
the paid servant of the corporations he
is employed to prosecute, to remain the
Attorney General of the United States?
Mr.. Cleveland brought lasting dishonor
upon his previous Administration by his
persistence in retaining as the govern
ment's chief law officer the agent of a
corporation whose profits depended upon
the decisions of the federal courts. Are
we to have another scandal of the Pan
Electric type? Does the President think
it wise thing to cucumber his Admin
istration with another Garland in the
person of Corporation Counsel Olney?
No two opinions are possible in regard
to Olney's continued connection as legal
counsel and director with the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and the Boston
and Maine railroads. 1t is an offense
not alone against professional ethics,
but against common fairness and COM
mon decency. The spectacle of the
Attorney General of the nation, paid to
safeguard the nations interests, COM
placently drawing huge salary from
corporations which he may be required
at any time to impeaeh for offenses
against the law is in the highest degree
shameful and humiliating.
Olney should get ont of the Cabinet.
In retaining this regularly engaged cor
poration champion as Attorney General
the President is degrading the Depart
ment of Justice. The American people
will not tolerate the transformation of
the Attorney Generalship into corpor-
alton annex.
