Don't Want Mr.. RiZzo.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-In reference
to the cable dispatches from Tangier
that Mr.. Rizzo, the new Portuguese
Consul at Fee, who also claims to repre-
sent the United States, has been refused
right of residence by the Moorish
Government, it is stated at the State
Department that their records do not
bear kizzo's name. There has always
been more Or less friction between the
United States Consulate at Tangier and
the Moorish authorities largely on the
question Of granting American pro-
tect foreigners from Moorish law. Mr..
Rizzo may possibly have been commits
stoned as a subordinate consular agent
by Council General Matthews, the rep
resentative of the United States at
Tangier, but even this is doubted.
Even if it were true, such commission
would give him 10 consular rights of
residence such as are claimed in the

One of Those Good Husbands Who
Shiver and Wait.
He stood beside the curbstone, q
mute, impressive object of pity.
Hundreds passed him, casting
curious ana sometimes sympathetic
chances at the sufferer, says an ex-
change, but not a man stirred hand
to help the helpless.
The wind whistled through the
cold November air and he shivered
anew at each cruel blast.
Men with fur-lined coats hurried
past. Now and then one glanced at
the spare frame and noted the be-
numbod fingers vainly endeavoring
to make the ends of collar meet
around thin neck, but never a
nickel was protfered the misera BILE
wretch. For a season the law of HUI
manity seemed dead letter.
Slowly the hands of the clock at
the corner moved round the dial and
still the shivering mortal held his po-
sition On the curb.
At length man passed who had
apparently known the waiter or the
curbstone in better days, for in the
glance he threw at him there was a
start of recognition. At first he
seemed inclined to 60 on his way. but
a second look at the pale, tired face
compelled him to obey the better
pronptings of his heart. He stepped
on one side and took the outcast
kindly by the hand.
Nv by, Jack.' said he, ''what are
you doing here"
A tear foil from the eye of the
wanderer and a wan smile stole over
his face.
',bill, old man." he replied, with a
choking voice, ''she's in there; she's
-she's-shopping"'
He pointed with a gesture of de-
spair to the window of the store in
front of which he stood, where ladies'
attire reigned supreme.
Poor boy!"
"lfss-it's-all right, Bill She'll
be back III minute. She told me
she would when she left me an hour
ago"
Bills hand crossed his mouth ii .
suggestive way, but the hapless bene-
dick shook his head mournfully and

Gems Made to Order.

A Glasgow chemist claims to have
succeeded by simple method in Oh
tanning precious stones that approach
in all their characteristics, the noblest
products of nature. The details of
the process are, of coGrse, kept secret
Working on laboratory scale and
using small vessels, stones have b en-
obtained over one-sixteenth Of an
inch in diameter, and very large
numbers have been formed approach
ing that size. These are hard, infus-
ible at all ordinarily attainab BILE tenn
peratures, and insoluble in any acid.
The bulk of the gems are white
or, rather, colorless - sapphires
They are compact and tram
parent crystals, an1 many specimens
have splendid lIeser. By subse--
quent treatment some of them have
taken on the sapphire blue. Apart
from the possibilities of the process

tai Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Office-seekers
are beginning to pour in from all direc-
lions, especially from the South and
West. A good many familiar faces are
among them, but they wear anything
put cheerful looks, for word has come
from Lakewood that Cleveland does not
intend to give old offce-holders another
chance, but will pass the offices around
to others.
Inns statement is in part confirmed
by his course in the selection of the
oaolnet and Private Secretary, and the
oellef grows every day that faithful
service under Cleveland's former ad-
mlnlstration will be bar to appoint
ment this time.
There is some gossip among politi-
clans about the Secretaryship of the
senate when that body is ,reorganized
on the 4th of March. 1t is known that
the principal among the avowed candi-
oates is ex-Congressman Benjamin
Lefevre Of Ohio. While not
much noise has been made
about it, it is certain that Gen.
Letevre has made a pretty careful can
Vass OF the Senate. Naturally he is
backed by his own Senator, Mr.. Brice,
and by some of the special friends of
latter among the party managers
While there are several other candi-
dates, most Of those already announced
are from the South, and, as geography
enters good deal into politics, it is
thought probable that these candidates

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The President
has granted communication Of sentence
to Edward L. Harper, ex-President of
the Fidelity National Bank of Cincin-
natl, who was convicted of violation
of the federal banking laws and SEN
fenced, Dee. -, 1887. to ten years i'm
prisonment in the Ohio penitentiary
at Columbus. The communication
provides for Harper's release on May
l, 1898. The President has twice re-
fused to take action in Harper's case
for the reason that reports showed him
to be less dangerously IL than it was
claimed by those who sought to have
him released. Recently. however,
physicians who attended Harper have
nled statements that he is very i'll and
is gradually losing strength and flesh.
The Presidents Endorsement on Harp
er's application is as follows:
I have felt that no reason for elem
ency was shown in the case, except the
serious health of the prisoner. Perhaps
he is entitled to some relief on that
ground. His term would expire in
April, 1895, and he has now been six
months in Jail and six years in the pen
itentiary. COMMITTED to expire May 1,

BEDS OF ALL EPOCHS.
Roman, Eskimo. Russian, Greek, Germau
Chinese and American.

Roman, Eskimo. Russian, Greek, German,
Chinese and American.
AS the Eskimo sleeps on moss and
skins, even wealthy ancient Romans
were content to repose On leaves and
straw. Ere long they improved on
hints taken from conquered nations,
filled beds with delicate down, or
stuffed them with the finest wool, till
they obtained the highest pitch of
luxury in the appointment of their
couches, says Chambers Journal
Richly carved wooden frames in
laid with ivory or silver, and finally
with gold, sustained cushions, pillows
and counterpanes of gold and purple
"a striking contrast to the flock
filled trusSes of their plebeian breth-
rem. The old Greeks used beds sup
ported On iron frames, while the
Egyptians had couches shaped more
like easy chairs with hollow backs
and seats.
Climatic considerations must be
taken into account by different ma
tons in their bed-making arrange
ments. The Russian day and night
hugs sheepskins around him; and the
Pacific islander finds in palm leaves
a sufficient coverlet. In the tropics
mats of grass answer the same pur-
pose.
The East Indian unrolls his port
ablo mattress, and in the morning liter
ally takes up his bed and walks off
with it. The Chinese use low bed
steads. often well carved, while the
Jap, with an uncomfortable wooden
rest for his neck, stretches himself on
a mating, and has lighted paper
lantern for company.
German beds are furnished with a
huge pillow or upper mattresses,
which answers the purpose of ordi-
nary bed clothing. Travellers agree
that there is not enough to the Con-
tinental bed-that, in fact, it ends too
quickly.
Europeans living in the East soon
become acquainted with the slender
iron bedsteads with tall iron rods, de-
signed to support the mosquito net
ting which seldom really answers it's
purpose.
On view in one of the early London
exhibitions ss Chinese bed orna-
mented with all sorts of curious and
elaborate cabinet work, the greater
part of which consisted of inlaid
mother-of-pearl. How useless and
extravagant ornaments may be heaped
upon single domestic article was
proved by the grand bedstead ex-
hibited in the Austrian department.
The enormity of it's bedposts, OF
which there appeared to be at least

heights. with the high relief of the
carving and the massive magnificence
of the whole design, and the finish

this bed appear not unlike great
model of Gothic cathedral.
Some of our very wealthy American
cousins appear to be puzzled in what
new form to lavish their money. A
brass bedstead, inlaid with real
pearls, was recently made for lady
living in New York. On q brass rail

New YORK. Feb. o5.-The Herald
saws that facts of a sensational char
acter have come to light bearing upon
the Reading collapse and Mr.. McLeod's
movements in New England territory.
1T looks as if Mr.. McLeod's hold on
the three big systems,' the article
continues. will be short lived. Strong
influence will soon be brought to bear
by banking interests to GUST him from
the receivership of the Reading and a
receiver may be appointed for the New
York & New England road that will
checkmate his efforts to assume control
of that property. Should this be done
1t is also claimed that Messrs. Speyer
& Co. are not any longer in sym.
pathy with his pretentions in
managing the Reading system. In
fact, these gentlemen are said to be
much put out at the representations
that he made to them when they made
the loan of IS 600, 0o0a couple of months
ago to enable the Reading to take up
its floating debt. At the time the loan
was made it was represented that the
Readings floating debt was only Sc, 0OO,-
600. Speyer & Co. took half of this. 1t
was stated that several Philadelphia
institutions had taken up the remain
ing boating debt between them. Since
that time, however, the floating debt,
it is alleged, has assumed much greater
proportions. 1t is believed by some
that it was between $4,000, 900 and S1O,-
900, 900 when the above loans were
made.
