''Wel, at any rate, that flea

Grimeby, for the present, at all
events. SO let's hear how your life
was saved.
1T was one day this very summer"

out in the country, when suddenly it

Grimsby said nothing for the space

FOR THE LAST BATTLE.
The RevoIutionists of Brazil in Final
Struggle.

VALPARAISO. March 21.-A cores
pendent in Rivera says that force OF
1000 troops sent down by the general
government from Rio Janiero rear he'd
there to-day These troops raise the
number of soldiers OF the National
Army now in Rio Grande do Sui to more
than 5000. They are well armed and
equipped and it will not be possible for
the revolutionists to hold out against
them very long. This was shown only
week ago when the troops whom
Lavarez left near Santa Ana fled at
the approach at 500 soldiers of the sol
diers Of the National Army and by the
defeas of Saraiva with a loss of 5000
men at Alegrete. Each time the Fed
eral force displayed its inability to
fight the National Army. With 5000
men to face them they will not be able
to prolong the war. 1t is believed
here that Lavarez will be met at Bage
by a force of National troops large
enough to Overwhelm him and end the
war there
A correspondent in Monte Nideo
says that armed bands from the Rio
Grande Do Sui have again cros ID the
border into Uruguay, where shots were
exchanged with the Uruguayan troops.
There is another ministerial crisis in
Argentina.
A CORE spondent in Buenos Ayres
says that Victoria Ramero is expected
TO resign. The trouble grows out of
the consideration of the boundary
tre@tg with Brazil. That document
has not be N ratified. and its fate can
n 1T now be foretold.

century ago it was the metropolis Of

Reform Clubs Tmpertinence.

WASHINGTON, March 23-The Reform
Club tariff bill is very coldly received
by members of Congress and others
usually interested in these mat
tiers. There is general feel
ing that this is piece of gratu,
itous inpertinence on the part of the
Reform Club, which appears to be of
the opinion that Congress- and the Ad-
ministration are unable to attend
to the duties which they were
specifically elected to perform Secre-
tary Carlisle is silent bout it, but it is
understood he IS rot at all pleased The
labors Of the club will evidently be
wasted, and its bill will get into the
official waste basket after il has served
its purpose as a mere curiosity.

July %. 1898. lie was educated at the
University of the City of New York,
admitted to the bar in 1858 and for
many years practiced in New York
city. In 1861 and 1862 he was aid-de-
camp on the staff OF Gov Edwin ID.
Morgan, was in command of The depot
OF volunteers at Elmira. n Y, and
aided III organizing and equipping and
forwarding to the field nearly $4,000
troops. lie was instrumental in rails
ing the Fifty first New York regiment.
which was named for him the Shepard
Rifles. He was The founder of the
New York State Bar Association in
1876 which has formed the model for
the organization of similar associa-
lions in other States. In March, 1888.
he purchased the New York Mail and
Express.
Before he bought the Mali and Ex-
press he was scarcely known outside
of New York city, and even there he
was known mainly because he married
daughter of the late William III. Van
derbllt and was in command of mil
lions of money. But when he became
newspaper editor and proprietor his
peculiarities We're manifested in such
striking forms that the whole country
talked about him. The first and most
startling thing he did was to begin
publishing the Bible in his newspaper,
verse by verse. day after day at the
head OF the editorial columns. Thus,
he said, he would bring the good book
home to thousands who never saw it or
considered its lessons. The average
reader laughed at the innovation and
many good Christians denounced it as
an advertising trick or an unwise act
of mistaken zeal, but thousands upon
thousands thanked Mr.. Shepard for
contributing such aid to the cause Of
religion.
