81 AM going where Lucy isl were

81 AM going where Lucy is" were
the last words Of ex-President
Hayes. President Hayes had reach
ed the utmost heights of political
glory and power, had been honored
to the fullest extent possible by the
people of the greatest nation on
earth and yet, when the supreme
moment came, all of these were for
gotten and wife and family held the
first and only place in his thoughts
and affection. Referring to wealth,
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and power, one Of
the wisest men that ever lived was
moved to exclaim, VANITY, vanity,
all is vanity" The ex-President
found it so. The hope of immor-
tally, the assurance of meeting his
beloved wife, was Of infinitely more
value to him when the veil, that hid
from him vision Of futurity, was
about to be lifted than all the hon
ors and emoluments that earthly
powers could bestow. We have here
the text for a beautiful and useful
lesson. Wealth, social and political
position, will avail nothing fifty or
a hundred years hence when we are
preparing to leave it all. Death
levels all things. When that time
comes, the love Of family and
friends, the consciousness of a life
of rectitude, and the knowledge Of
having done something for the bet
terment Of mankind, are Of more
moment than all else combined and
they alone can smooth the pathway
and afford consolation when the
hour of dissolution comes. No
more appropriate inscription could
be placed upon the tomb of express
ident Hayes than the last words ut
tered by him. No more expressive
tribute to his character could be
given than the perpetuation in en-
during marble Of those simple
words, II am going where Lucy is"

REPUBLICAN members are unseat,
ed by the populist house because
they were postmasters at the time
of their election, but their resigna-
tions had been accepted before the
legislature met. Two of the popu-
list members of the senate were

was organized and for aught we
know to the contrary, their resigna-
tons have not yet been accepted
and their successors appointed

ly ineligible. Because they are
populists and the populists are a
majority in the senate. Again the
populist theory was that those mem
bers whose seats were contested
should not participate in the organi-
cation of the house notwithstand-
ing they held legal certificates. The
populist house consisting in part Of
members who held no certificates,
and whose only claim to seats con-
sisted in the fact that they had in
stituted contests, participated in the
organization of the populist house
and voted to declare vacant the
seats of the members they had con-
tested. Kansas never does anything
by halves and the acts of the popu-
list legislature-so called-stands
pre-eminent before the world for
colossal and stupendous cheek as
well as for downright fraud and
total disregard of the laws and con-
stitution of the state.

OF Indians, OF whom the most power
ful are the Caribs. They are about
five feet seven or eight inches high on
the average and very muscular.
They are singuarly expert with a
weapon called the blowgun, made OF

which they shoot a little poisoned
plug. With this weapon they eau
shoot accurately $50 10 800 yards, and
whatever is struck is dead at once.

Their blowguns have two sights-one

They each consist OF = tooth from IA

they shoot. The poison is also used
to tip their arrows, for they use

4 GlLDED YOUTH.
How Pretty celia Nicolaus Got Gouid-
Check for $4,000.

New YORK, Dec. 12.-The World SAYS
the case of leila Nicolaus against George
Gould appears in an entirely new light
According to the statement of friends Of
Nicolaus she originally obtained the
100000 check frori Howard Gould, when
the latter was attending the Worlds fair
in Chicago, 1t is said that he became
infatuated with Mrs. Nicolaus and gave
her the check, which had been given
him by George Gould in division of q
particular portion Of Jay Gould's estate.
George Gould learned of the transaction
with Mrs. Nicolaus in time to stop pay
ment of the check in Chicago.
Mrs. Nicolaus went to New Yory and
Howard Gould promised to set the mat
ter right. There was a stormy interview
between George and Howard, the former
declaring the sun TO large to pay any
woman. Howard refused to break with
Mrs. Nicolaus, who waited upon George
and threatened to bring suit. George
consulted superintendent Barnes, who
sent for Mrs. Nicolaus and threatened
her with arrest as a blackmailer. She
detied him to arrest her on such a
charge. She said she had done nothing
for which she could be arrested and
would not leave the city until the matter
was settled. She said George Gould said
that, for family reasons, he did not want
the check to go through the bank with
her signature, and If she would give VI
the check he would pay her $4,000 il
bills. She agreed to this and received
two bills of 800 each, supposing he
would count out tho remainder, whom he
grabbed the check ana threatened 10
have her arrested as a blackmailer.
Hence the suit.

There is one thing a plain American
citizen would like to know, and that is,
when the United States is in a state of
profound peace and harmonious agree
ment with every other nation on the
globe, why it is necessary for the govern
ment to communicate with its servants
in Brazil or elsewhere by means of tele-
graphic secret cipher dispatches? Why
should not the Geographic code be ex-
actly the same as that used ordinarily?

the officers he elected are doing. Let
