When Tennysou Was Rebuked.

Little as Tennyson cared for society, he
was sometimes to be met in houses which
interested him, and one of these was the
Duchess of Bedford's, in Eaton square,
now the dowager duchess. 1t was at a
party there one evening that he saw GER
tain great lady of whom he had heard, but
whom he did not know. He desired to be
introduced to her, or perhaps-for his
ways were sometimes regal-desired that
she might be presented to him. In which
ever way it was, the ceremony took place,
and Tennyson's second remark was this
questions "oh, Lady Blank, do 1, know
Lord Blankf" The person about whom he
thus inquired was a peer, who, though
young, had won much distinction in public
life and was widely known in private.
His wife was devoted to him and Jealous
OF any word which sounded like disparage-
ment of his position or indifference to his
renown. She looked Tennyson in the face
and answered, with perfect composure of
manner: Il am sure, Lord Tennyson, !
can't say. 1 never heard him mention
your name in my life" For a moment the
poet was staggered by this straight hit
from the shoulder, but he had the good
sense and good temper to take it well.-

It had always been the habit in the
Ward family if two relatives differed
strongly to arrange not to be on speaking
terms DR.. William G. Ward was once
asked how much he had known of his fa-
theirs first cousin, Sir Henry Ward. He
replied quite gravely: Il only saw him
twice-once as boy, when be came to
see my father, and then again had an
interview with him about matter of
business soon after came into my prop
erty. We arranged at the end of it not
to be on speaking terms" quite super
hous arrangement, as Sir Henry Ward
lived at that time in Ceylon, of which he
was governor, and in fact never came
again to England for prolonged visit.
DIR. Ward and his brother Henry had
been estranged for year or SO, and one
night they met at the Haymarket thea
ter. Each of them had for the moment
quite forgotten the quarrel, and friendly
greetings passed, and they had talk
about the play. Next morning came a
letter from Henry Ward:
DEAR WILLIAM-In the hurry OF the mo-
nent tonight | quite forgot that we had ar
lest you should misunderstood me, to say that
think we had better adhere TO ouy arrange
mont, and remain, dear William, Your affec-
tionate brother, HENRY WARD.
DR.. Ward replied:
DEAR HESRY-I, too, had forgotten our ar
rangcment. | agree with you that We had bet
ter keep 10 1t, and l remain your affectionate
brother, w, G. WARD.

or maiden has what is called talent.
All, the much abused word! How glad.

DEAD BODIES IN THE BARN.
A Discovery That Has tho Appearance OF
Double Murder.


MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Sept. 5-A discov-
cry Of what has the appearance of a double
murder, and may prove to be triple MS
sassination, has just been made at Bur
linghnm, at the foot OF the S Shawangunk
mountains. The events leading up to tho
supposed murders date little time back.
Paul Holiday, a widower, who resides
near Birmingham, recently married a
Young woman who had been working for
him. Soon after the marriage Holidays
house and barn were burned and his Grip
pied son was burned to death in the house.
Mrs. Holiday was arrested for arson and
held in the Orange county Jail, where she
showed evidence of insanity. She was
sent 10 the state hospital, and subse-
quently being released, returned home.
The latter part of last week Holiday
was missed. A watch was set on Holli-
days premises, and Mrs. Holiday said he
lad gone to Bloomsbury to work as a
mason, but an investigation proved her
statement false. Mrs Holiday made
some inquiries as to what would remove
blood stains, and her actions becoming
mysterious she was arrested A searching
party was then made up to look for Holli-
day.
In the barn at Holidays place they
found under lot of hay the bodies of two
women. One was a fleshy woman about
DO years old, and the other that of a young
girl about 10 years. In the body Of the
elder woman there were eight bullet
wounds. Death had evidently taken place
in both cases about four days ago. While
the names OF the dead women are un-
known 1t is thought they were summer
boarders from New York city.

summoned a jury and local physicians are

The idea embodied In American insti-
tutions is the most radical that ever took
the concrete shape of legislation, We
may say without being charged with a
boastful spirit, that We have on the
whole the best government on the planet.
That is to say, the government which
offers the largest opportunities and pro-
duces the greatest amount of content
ment and prosperity.
1t is good thing for 100000 of our
citizens to visit Europe every summer in
order to compare the condition of affairs
abroad with that enjoyed at home. And
it is safe to assert that no man can travel
in England or Germany or Russia or
Italy without reaching the proud conclu-
sion that the American flag represents
more popular rights and more advanced
political economy than any other strip Of
bunting that floats in the breeze. The
tourist who reaches Sandy Hook after a
three or six months journey in foreign
lands without having his pulse jumpinto
the nineties ought to have been born in

COMPETING WHEELMEN

THE HALF MILE RECORD LOWERED

The Contest Between III. O. wheeler, of
the National Cycling Association of
America, and j. w. schonold, Champion
of England, Won by the American.
NEW YORK, Sept 5.-Ths largest crowd
that has vet attended race meet of the
New York Cycling association was that
assembled at Manhattan field yesterday to
see the contest in the various scratch events
between II. G. Wheeler, of Orange, N. j.,
the crack-a-iack OF the National Cycling
association of America, and j. w. Scho-
field, champion of England. After the
one mile scratch race, which was the first
event on the program Schoheld, who was
entered for all the other races, withdrew
on the ground that he did not care to get
tangled up with so many crack riders.
At the close OF the first heat, in which
6chofield finished second, Hess. Dorntage
and Kluge all complained of being inter
fered with by the Englishman. 1t was
the general impression that Schofleld had
been pretty neatly pocketed He was un-
doubtedly placed at disadvantage by the
four lap track, as he was not used to quite
so many turns. His trainer also claimed
that owing TO his long sea voyage he was
far from being in proper form, although
his work in the consolation race was SUI
perior to that of any of his competitors.
Bartholomew, who won the first heat Of
the one mile handicap had the misfortune
to fall In the last heat, which threw him
ont of the race Frank Albert was lead
ing on the fourth mile of the Ave mile
handicap, when his wheel collapsed and
gave him severe fall Ashinger was SO
close to him ut the time that he also fell.
They both scrambled to their feet and AL
bert gave Asher II good start In his excite
ment before giving himself thought He
was severely injured and had TO bo assisted
to his dressing room. Ashinger finished
1ifth as it was.
The races were Of a spirited order, and
more interest was shown by the public
than has been evinced at any previous
meeting held in this vicinity under the aus
picos of the National Cycling association.

Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for that purpose by the French
government show that the resistance Of
the atmosphere to the motion Of a high
speed train often amounts to half the to-
tai resistance which the Locomotive must
overcome. Two engines, pf which the
resistance was measured repeatedly and
found to be 10 pounds per ION at 81 miles
per hour, were coupled together and
again tried. In the second trial the re-
sistance fell to IA pounds per ton. the
second engine being shielded from at.

There is a satisfaction in learning the
names and positions of the stars that
does not belong to the study of the
planets. The stars apparently never
change so far as their position relative
to each other is concerned. The planets
are always moving, and to those who do
not watch the heavens with particular
attention it is cause of surprise very
often to find new star adorning a
certain section of the heavens. If, how
ever, this newcomer be carefully OBJ
served from night to night, it will be
found to change its distance from the
fixed stars, and the observer will discover
that it is planet and at liberty to wan
der about from place to place under the
sole condition that it obeys certain rules
of motion. When the bright stars that
grace the heavens become familiar to OBJ
servers, they will know just what TO ex-
pect on each succeeding season.-New
York Times.

According to the reports received by Mr..

said: You are Emin Pasha, who killed
the Arabs at Victoria Nyanza."
without waiting for an answer he struck
off Emin's head with the scimetar. Emin's
body was thrown to the Manyemas, who
ate it. Subsequently the Manysmas muir
