CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-At an anarchist meet
ing here Oscar Neebe, recently pardoned
by Governor Altgeld, said that Lingg,
whose head was blown to pieces by dyna-
mite while he was under sentence of death
was the victim Of the Jail guards, and was
not suicide, Neebe claimed that the
dead anarchist was given loaded cigar
by some of the Jail officials, and it was
that and not, as alleged, Il decorating cap
which killed the condemned man. Prison
officials say the statement is ridiculous

A Thoughtful Boy.

Kenniboy is sometimes very thought
full of other peoples comfort, although
sometimes he is not, says Harper's
Young People. He has one very bad
habit, his papa saws, which is waking
up at half past 5 o'clock or earlier
every morning and insisting upon max
ing remarks. His papa is usually the
one to whom these remarks are made,
and, of course, listening to what Ken
niboy has to say makes it necessary
for him to wake up and brush the cob
webs off his wits. Once or twice Ken
niboy has been scolded for interfering
in this way with other peoples sleep.
He has been told that he may talk all
he pleases. but that it must always be
in a whisper, SO that his papa and
mamma shall not be disturbed.
Having this little lesson in mind, one
morning about two weeks ago Kenni-
boy, having walked at the usual early
hour. was rather curious to know how
early it was. Leaning over his papa's
ear ne whispered softly into it. Papa.
what time is itP'
SO soft was the whisper that papa
never seemed to hear it, but slept
peacefully on. and SO kenniboy tried
it again.
Papa, look at your watch and tell
me what time 1t is, please" he whis-
pered.
This time papa was awakened.
"Oh, dear, Kennihoy,," he said rub
bling his eyes sleepily, "I'll never grow
beautiful if you wake me out of my
beauty sleep this way every morning"
81 didn't mean to wake you up" SAID
the boy.
But YOU were talking in my ear"
returned papa. "How could you ex-
pect to do that without waking me?"
Il wasn't talkin'-I was on'y whis-
perrin" said Kenniboy. 81 wanted you
to tell me what time it is. and whis-
pered SOS you could tell ME without
wakin' up'

Not SO Bad as 1t Sounded,

A prominent man in the city who is
noted for his close-tisted proclivties is
being guyed by a number of his
friends. A few days ago he met with
the directors of his company. 1t hap
pens that there is very comedy
maiden who hammers the keys of q
typewriter for the company, and this
has worried the avaricious gentleman
quite good deal, as he is of the opin-
ion that woman's place is at home.
He has tried on several occasions to
have her salary cut down to almost
nothing, and any bills for expenses
coming from her are always given the
closest scrutiny by him. At the meet
ing mentioned the directors were
auditing bills, and among them was
one that read thus: Ribbon for type
writer, rs cents"
When the avaricous gentleman no.
ticed it he was dunn bfounded he
could not believe his senses. The idea
of the company furnishing the young
lady stenographer with ribbon fairly
froze him. He was on his feet in an
instant waving his arms like wind
MILL and demanding of the secretary
if the company was compelled to
board and clothe its employees. After
he had been laughed at for some min
utes it was explained to him that the
ribbon was for the machine and not
for the operator Graiad FJrkS Herald

How Ney Received His Sentence.

Seventy-seven years ago Ney was
shot by file of soldiers in the garden
of the mbourg in Paris, after hav-
ing been convicted of betraying the
king by joining his fortunes to Napo-
Icons on his return from Elba. Upon
the very spot where he was executed
statue to his memory was subse-
quently erected, and this statue has
now been removed to another site, the
land where it stood having been taken
for railway purposes.
When the charge under which Mar
shall Ney was tried was issued against
him it was left within his power to fly
from the country. This he refused to
do. The gendarrnes came to arrest
him. Ney saw them standing in his
courtyard and put up his window.

WEAK SPOTS IN THE NEGRO.
While They Are the Best Nurses, They
Are Indifferent Mothers.

One of the bad spots in the negro
character, which has SO much good in
it, is that they are undoubtedly not
strong in their domestic affections.
The best nurses in the world, they are
Indifferent mothers. Their babies are
regarded as in the way. and the NOR
tally among negro children proves
an appalling carelessness of their lives.
Consequently there is not usually a
! deep affection on the part of the chill
drcn, says the Boston Transcript.
They leave their parents with the ut
most readiness, and an occasional let
ter is sent, either to ask for money.
which they don't get, or to brag of
their success. Naturally, the younger
ones, born in freedom. have loathing
for everything that pertains to slavery.
They regard the old slave with con-
tempt, and because the younger ones
can read and write, they set the older
ones down as being too ignorant to be
considered, forgetting that they were
once efficient workers, and averaged
superior in morals and manners to
| their descendants. One of the results
of this is the dying out Of the rich,
| melodious negro songs-not the songs
of the "negro minstrel" type, which
were totally unlike the real article.
This is a very great pity, as these
songs were wild and charming be-
yond comparison. In slavery times
the negroes were encouraged to sing.
The wheat was reaped to the sing
ing of the reapers, and the best singer
| generally headed the row. The ones
who could pick the banjo or scrape the
fiddle were peculiarly privileged.
Here is strange piece of folk lore:
For many years, even long before the
war, the fiddle playing and the banjo
playing had been dying out among
the negroes, owing to II superstition
that "de devil is iiddlcr." The very
old people have noticed this.
The master of the mansion says: an
my fathers time, and when | was a
boy, there were very few regular
musicians, and at parties unless it was
a very grand affair lady played the
piano, accompanied by gentleman on
the violin, and monstrous good jiys
and reels they played, too. But when
it got too much like WORK almost any
body's carriage-driver could be sent
for out of the kitchen, who could fiddle
well enough to dance the Virginia reel
by. But when grew u".negro tiddlers
were scarce among the plantation
hands, except the professionals who
were free negroes. They had been
growing scarcer, owing to this super
stition about old Pluto.
Among the city negroes the piano
is the fayorite instrument MS it is SO
much easier to acquir' certain pro-
ficiency on it than on tn, violin. In
the country, though. it is generally
thought unbecoming, at least, for a
church member to play the violin, il
not actually an audacious communica-
ton with Satan himself. But it in
wolves neither deadly sin nor any
spiritual risk whatever to play the ac-
Gordon or the 'laporgan' as they call
it. The 'corjon,' consequently, is a
very popular instrument"

l was struck the other day by the
unique criticism of one of the hand
soonest houses in Washington, which
was under discussion by several of the
most intimate friends of the hostess.
The verdict that it was distinctly a
mans house" astonished me not a
little, as | knew the feminine owner
had left the impress of her exquisite
taste upon every part of the beautiful
home. The explanation, however,
was simple enough. "Distinctively a
mans house" had reference to the en-
tire absence of spindle-legged chairs,
gold and similar useless bits of furni-
ture, which were replaced bv big, lux
urious chairs and divans that could be
sat upon without fear of breaking
down, cushions intended for use rather
than ornaments though they happily
combined the two requisites and
cushioned corners ad libitum through
out the house. An interior more in
keeping with perfect taste it is not
possible to find throughout the city.
But the secret wherein lies the charm
is that from the cellar to attic there
is nothing too good for daily use.
