A German merchant In london had {

This fault was especially annoying sl
meal times. One day the family were
seated at the table, and the bell va,
ruug ~ usual. The girl hurried into
the dining room. Maria, said Herr b.,
just run and fetch the big step ladder
down from the attic and bring Y here
Maria. who had been disturbed at heI
dinner, gave o grunt Of dissatisfaction,
but ran up three flights OF stairs to fetch
the ladder. In about i've minutes che
returned to the room, painting with ber
exertion. Now, said Herr b., put u up
st that end Of the room, and climb ia
the top. Maria did ~ she Was told, and
when she was at the top Herr Ii. quiet
" observed: Maria. you have nov got
q better view than we have; Just look
around and tell Us II you can see any
salt on the table. Nv wife and ! could
not find II. This settled the business,
Maria has never forgotten the lesson
Ex.
Now this IL a very good story. but
don't let any American householder at.

HAWAII STILL EXCITED.
The Provisional Government Yet Fears .
 Restoration.

The ProvisionAl Government Yet Fears .
 Restorstion.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 22-The steamer Mariposa arrived here and brought the latest information from Honolulu. The steamer had but few passengers from Hon. Olulu, and none of them was identified with either political party there.
 One passenger, resident of New Zea- land, says of the Qualifications at Honolulu and of the preparations for any attack: "One hundred and fifty men patrol the government building night and day, and 1,5OO more are ready at a moments notice to respond to a call to arms. The provi- sional government is composed of deter mined set of men, and its overthrow can only be accomplished by superior force"
 The Associated Press Honolulu corre- spondent wrote privately as follows just as the steamer Mariposa was preparing to leave the dock for the voyage to San Fran cisco:
 Since the arrival of the Corwin affairs are in a very excited condition here. The rumor is prevalent that the officers of the United States warships have ordered their wives to leave by the Mariposa. The great est secrecy is maintained. The provisional government Is confident and will fight if attacked. At the present writing Ameri- cans and the government are prepared for the fight which may be precipitated at any moment. The government still persists in the belief that no trouble will occur. This is not the general opinion among Ameri- cans The militia are all prepared, and in 20 minutes GOO men could be in the field to defend the provisional government"

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS.
RIfed Mall and Expre-s Cars and Robbed
 Pa-senEers.


 PARSONS, Kan, Dec. 26-Another and one of the boldest train robberies ever per petrated has been recorded in the Indian Territory. The robbery occurred at Semi- nole, small station on the Kansas and Arkansas Valley road, which is division of the Missouri Pacific. The train robbed was No. 233. a train bound for Little Rock
 They attacked the mall car first and met with no resistance from the mail clerk Pouch after pouch was opened and rified of its contents Then the letters which had been distributed in the pigeonholes were gone through, and all their valuable con tents were extracted and placed in a recep- tacle which the robbers carried. After completing their work in the mail car the robbers turned their attention to the ex- press car and footed it of it's contents with out the least objection from the express messenger, who was powerless to protect the company's property against such odds
 Having satisfied themselves that they had secured all the valuables in the ex- press car, the gang then proceeded through the coaches and made a clean sweep of all valuables in the possession of the terror stricken passengers. It would have been more than folly for the passengers or crew to resist, as the band was made up of eight desperate looking men, and it was evident from the way they went at the job that they knew their business.
 While the robbers proceeded through the coaches each passenger was compelled to hand over all his cash and jewelry. No violence was offered because every one gave up, glad to escape with a whole skin. The work of the bandits was so deliberate and painstaking that it is believed they are old timers and that they are the men who held up the Missouri, Kansas and Texas train Friday night.
 They secured big booty, but no estimate can be given of the loss. A posse was or. ganized as soon as 1t was possible to advise the authorities of the fact, and the depu- ties are hot on the trail of the robbers It is barely possible that if the posse gets near the gang fight will ensue.

SLASHED HIS LEGS.
MoDermott Killed Clancy Because of an
 old Grudge.

MoDcrmott Killed Clancy Because of an
 old Grudge.
 BROOKLYN, Dec 28.-George Clancy, a man of 45 years and brother of Congress man John M. Clancy, was murdered by Timothy McDermott in a saloon in Hud- son avenue. Clancy was standing at the bar when McDermott came in, and steal ing up behind Clancy lifted up the flaps of his coat tails and slashed him across both legs with a long knife, cutting the arteries of Clancy's leg The injured man was taken to the hos pital and died in a short time from loss of blood McDermott escaped to New York, but was captured later in tenement house after desperate fight.
 The cause of the murder is said to be that Clancy and his brother Michael were in saloon year ago and got into an altercation.
 In endeavoring to separate the men James McDermott, brother of the mur- derer, was violently thrown and broke his leg. The Clanoys paid McDermott's med ical expenses and also paid the expenses of his family during his illness, but he died, go the Clancys claim, from dissipated habits a short time ago. At the station McDermott claimed that his brother had died of blood poisoning resulting from the broken leg and said that The had 1t in for Clancy ever sinceu
