It Was Her Anniversary.

Some drummers were diverting themselves
in a smoking car by repeating episodes of so
called cheek" says the New York Tribune.
All but one had related an instance; when he
was called upon he drearily said
Il don't remember anything worth telling:
in fact my wife has completely dazed my
memory OF matters of that kind by a fine
sample of her own stock. You see when
got back from my latest trip l went home at
something after 9 o'clock in the evening.
Well there was my house lighted up from the
top story to the basement; carriages were
leaving the door, and affairs seemed to be
going inside on grand scale. l let myself
into the basement with a latch key and
walked into the dining room Strains of
music came from the back part of the hall
and the mingled laughter and conversation
indicated a host of guests.
Presently my wife came into the dining
room dressed like princess; she ran up to
me. saying:

onnninr of the Fair.

The great fair viii he formally opened
( to-rorrow by the President. who arrived
/ in Chicago yesterday for that purpose If
( the weather is fair the opening will be in
the presence Of hundreds Of thousands Of
people, and win be an event that viii at
tract attention throughout the civilized
world Nearly all the great nations are
directly interested in The fair They have
accepted the invitation to take part in it,
and most of them have their exhibits on
the ground.
The fair is the greatest in the history
Of worlds fairs. II is planned upon
much larger scale than any that have
preceded it, and there is no doubt that il
viii fully meet expectations. Nearly all
the states Of this country and most of the
other countries have been exceedingly
liberal in their appropriations for the
purposes Of the fair, and their exhibits
will be large and exceedingly in
teresting. The best of the products
of the farms, the mines and
the factories. besides that which is
choicest in art will be seen in the white
city. Indeed, the whole world has been
drawn upon to make an exhibition that
will excite wonder and admiration and
will show the progress that civilization
has made and is making.
Those who visit the fair and study
thoroughly what they see will gain a
much better idea of the worlds industries
in a few weeks than they would in a life
time from books. 1t willnot be possible
to see the fair in a day or a week, and a
comprehensive knowledge of its exhibits
could not be gained in many months, but
much that is valuable and interesting may
be learned in a very short time by study
and observation.
On an average Americans spend $50
900, 900 year in Europe They will spend
very, little there this year, but un[ess
something intervenes to prevent pms
ent expectations from being realized
Europeans will spend much more than
that amount in this country this year.
The travel from all parts of the world to
Chicago will be very large and the travel
ers will leave a great deal of money in the
cities they visit.
After tomorrow the fair will be open
to visitors, but it will not be ready for
them. The grounds are not finished and
the exhibits are not in place. 1t will be
fully month before the fair will be com
plete in all its departments. But those
who go early to avoid the crowd will not
be disappointed, because there is already
enough to see to satisfy the most exact
ing.

Gladstone's Peril.

It would not be at all surprising if an
attempt should be made to assassinate
Mr. Gladstone. The feeling against him
that has been aroused by his home rule
bill is exceedingly bitter, and there are
cranks in England as well as elsewhere
who are led to think, in times Of excite
ment over great public questions, that
they are the instruments chosen to remove
the cause of the excitement.
It is not clearly shown yet that William
Townsend the Sheffield crank, who, it is
alleged, intended to shoot Mr.. Gladstone
a few night ago, as the latter was return
ing home through st. James park, really
had any such purpose. There are some
reasons, however, for thinking that the
story has some foundation. The man
is under arrest and his record is being
looked up. His actions on the night in
question are regarded as being very sus-
picious The Pan Mall Gazette, athat
first gave currency to the assassination
story, asserts positively that Townsend's
purpose was to shoot Mr. Gladstone. and
that he was prevented from doing so be-
cause the venerable appearance of Mr..
Gladstone reminded him of his own
fathers appearance on his death-bed
Mr.. Gladstone has no good reason to
fear plot to take his life, but he is in
peril from just such cranks as this man
Townsend appears to be That Townsend
is a crank there can be no doubt. A note
book he had in his pocket when arrested
was full of rawlings relative to Gladstone's
home rule bill, and among them was the
suggestion that the killing of Mr. Glad
stone would be iustiiable.
The union leaders have said a good
many things since the home rule debate
began that are calculated to mbalance
weak minds and increase the crop of
cranks. The suggestion that the Protest
ants of Ireland might resist by force the
home rule measure, has, no doubt, had
the effect of leading such men as Town
send to think that the removal of Mr.
Gladstone by violence would be iustifi-
able. 1t has been productive of bloody
riots and why not of assassination
While Townsend may not have intended
to assassinate Mr.. Gladstone, his arrest
under the most suspicious circumstances
is sufficient to warn Mr.. Gladstone that
the cranks regard him as an enemy and
that it will be wise for him to be on his
guard against them

a Good ObituarT.

The writing editor Of 1t cerfain Cleveland
newspaper is a man who is ordinarily as i'm
pervious to compliments as n stone wall is to
bird shot says the Detroit Free Frass The
other day however, he wds forced to blush {
praise. A well-knOWn man in that town had
by some means. been reported dead, and the
editor having known him well set about pre-
pairing an obituary editorial worthy Of the oc-
caslon, When il was all done and he had a
proof of it before him, in walked the man
himself.
The editor was surprised.
Il just heard said the visitor, that a
rumOr was abroad to the effect that I had
gone over, and l came in to prove to you that
it was not correct
We heard about it said the editor and
Just fixed you up little something here as
a token of our esteem and he handed over
the proof.
The man read it through carefully and with
evident qualification.
BY jove old fellow" he said ferventIy
taking the editors hand, after reading that
editorial, I'm almost sorry the rumor isn't
true"
Then the editor blushed.

Looking After Pension Frauds.

The new pension commissioner has not
taken charge of his Office yet, but will do
so in few days. 1t seems to be well I'M
derstood that it is his purpose to make a
vigorous raid upon pension frauds. Not
withstanding the vigorous denials of the
republican press it is regarded as certain
that frauds of great magnitude have been
committed in the pension Office.
The acting commissioner of pensions said
a day or two ago that there isn't
shadow of doubt that the disability act
of June q, 1890, was misconstrued by the
Harrison administration 1t is alleged
that thousands of pensioners are getting
Sl2 month who are not entitled to that
amount
1t will be great and difficult work TO
trace the frauds, but the purpose of the
present administration is to find them. 1t
IS believed that it will be possible to save
the government many hundreds of thou
sand of dollars a year by constituting the
pension laws strictly and administering
them in the spirit in which congress in
tended they should be administered The
trouble in the pension office has been

An Inquiry From Thomasville.

Noticing in the MORNING News that
great deal of interest is being manifested
in this city in manufacturing enterprises,
the Thomasville Manufacturing Company
wants to know what inducements Savan-
nah is willing to offer to those who are
willing to establish manufactures within
her limits The Thomasville company
says that with the proper encouragement
and inducements it would move its plant
to Savannah and greatly enlarge it.
What sort of inducements does the
Townsville company wautl Does it want
Savannah to give it a site for its plant, or
does it want the city to pay it bonus to
come here' If it wants either of these
things it is probable that Savannah will
have to get along without it. There are
few, if any, cities of Importance in the
country that tax their citizens to establish
factories.
If the brownsville company has a pros
porous business and can demonstrate that
it would pay profit on the money in
vested in it if established here there
would be no difficulty, in all probability,
in getting subscriptions here to its capt.
tai stock But savannah is not seeking
to become a shareholder in any manufact-
uring enterprise nor is she likely to pay
any manufacturing concern to come here
She believes She has alyantarcs for Ger
tain kinds Of manufacturing thatarc pos
soss'd brno other city, ana she invites
capital to tdke advantage OF then, givinr
assurances OF fair and liberal treatment
of all manufacturing enterprises.
a moments consideration would satisfy
the Townsville company that Savannah
could offer no other inducements than the
foregoing. She has already quite a num-
Der of prosperous factories, but she is not
in a position to advance money to secure
others, nor does she think she will have to
do so to get others. The tone of the
inquiry of the Thomasville company indi-
Gates that it thinks that Savannah has a
fund to be used in establishing factories
that are not able to sustain themselves
without assistance. That is a mistake
If she had such fund she has plenty of
citizens of her own who would be glad to
make use of it,

An Excess of Charity.
From the Boston Courier

T
1 wrapped me about in nv swallow tail,
Which I've had since Babylon s fall,
And forth l strobe with merry heart,
and went to the charity ball
The great hall shone with thousand lights
While its uttCrmOst corner rang
While the plaintive pipe of the piccolo
And the uymbals brazen clang.
And the women and men, the women and mem
All they were a sight to See
AS they danced and danced till ready to drop,
For the sake of sweet charity.
And great bewildering sense of JOY
Absorbed my jubilant mind,
For had not thought in these selfish times
Such generous folk to And.
But most was touched by the charity
OF several women fair,
Who had been so generous they'd not left
Enough for themselves to wear.

pensions greater than they are entitled to.
These Inquiries must be Judicious and fair;
putable veterans, to town or state officials

obtained must be reported in writing in a
manner to admit Of careful Investigation and
verihcation.
