The Wood-outter and the Queen

On sucn expeditions the queen is generally &C.
companled by the InfanIa Isabea, the young
KING aunt. One day the driver OF the royal
carriage became lost in the monotonous plain

the wood-cutter.
The queen here interviewed. She ordered the
coachman to let the man tie his fagot at the
DacR OF the coach and to take him up on the
drivers seat and drive him home
The man tied his rough fagot at the back OF
the royal coach, mounted the box, and the road
TO Madrid was soon found
When the royal carriage entered the CITY In
this queer state there was great sensation as
the people recognized the equipage. The wood
cutter sat proudly on the box. When his quar-

his fagot. The queen put her head out of the

A Cnrf-,ent Omc.al.


Gen. Spauldiug, the Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury. is confident that there will
be no cholera in his country tais yea. 10
is his DUTY to have the Law. shutting out
cholera-infsct- q Immigrants, enforced. On
Thursday his attention vas called 20 the
landing of 40 immigrants at Halifax, the
other day, from Ham JurR, two OF whom
were found 10 have the clols5s after they
had diseabarkel. AS these immigrants
we're bound for Chicago nnd other poinjs in
this country, he was asked what precau-
tions had been taken to prevent them from
reaching their destinations until it was
satisfactorily determined that they
were entirely free OF the dis
ase. Hs sail nolo OF them could
reach any place in this country until they
had beer. thoroughly inspected, that ali
points we're we'll guarded. lie further said
there was no cholera in Hamburg now, nor
anywhere else in Europe, in his opinion,
except in Russia.
It is sincerely to BE- hoped that he is not
mistaken, and that the Preparations for in
specting immigrants from Europe by way
Of Canadian ports are as complete ns lie
thinks they are But, If there is no cholera
in Hamburg, how is it that cholera is de-
veloping every once in a while on ships
leaving that porte There were two cases
among the immigrants that landed at Hall
fax and one case was reported on board
Spanish vessel that left there couple OF
weeks ago.
Itwould not be wise for the health author
tiles to accept the statement that cholera
has disappeared from Hamburg and other
European ports and act in accordance with
it. Precautions should be taken against the
disease just as If it was believed to exist
until time has shown it has finally disap-
peared.
As a matter of fact it has become quite
virulent again in Russia, and it may make
its appearance again in France and Ger
many as soon as warm weather begins. We
are glad to know that the health authorities
have no fear of it finding an entrance into
this country this year. but we should feel
better satisfied if it were certain that every
avenue by which it could gain foothold on
our soil were intelligently and carefully
guarded. Overconfidence may lead to
carelessness.

viii Not Sell jeff Davis Canes.

The other day when Miss Maud Kfrkman, one
Of the Kentucky lady commissioners. was in
Chicago perfectinZ her plans for the educa-
tonal exhibit at the worlds fair, saws the
Louisville Times, she CHANGED to meet in Di-
rector General Davis office very lively and
loquacious young man who was applying for
permission to sell hickory canes cut from an
old farm, he said, on which JEFF Davis was
reared The fellow was not addressing his re-
marks TO Miss Kirkman but her interest in what
ne had to say was not lessened on that account
Her home is in TODD county, apd every foot of
ground on the Davis place is familiar to her
Now, Gen Davis, the visitor ratified away
tits just like this. A number of liz have
formed syndicate. We bought all the canes
off the place, and We want to sell EN- at the
fair. We have 200, 900 of these canes. snd we
we are willing to pay for the privilege, al
though the canes themselves will be- an attrac-
ton, and we did think at first we might be able
TO get space for nothing.
Miss Krkman couldn't keep still any longer
you say you cut 100000 hickory canes off the
jeff Davis homesread2' she asked in amuse-
ment and amazement.
Yes, lady" was the prompt reply, land
every one of en- is beauty"
II know the pla . well" Miss Kirkman kept
on. tin fact, live close by it. l know. too
that there is not hickory cane to be cut of
the whole farm. Somebody has either deceived
you, or you are trying to deceive somebody
now"
The man with the canes was abashed He
attempted to explain, but the director general
dismissed him without ceremony. The smooth
tonRued rascal would not be allowed TO peddle
the bogus jeff Davis canes anywhere about the
worlds fair grounds.

Other Regulations az Stake.


The republican senator's are gradually
reaching the CONCLUSION. if they have not
/ done so already, tha5 Senator Hoar acted
/ hastily when be introdCcei his resolution
calling for an investigation Of the charge
against Senator Roach, OF North Dakota,
70 the effect tina: the senator enbezz.ed
large sum Of money from a Washington
bank Of which be was cashier a number Of
years ogo. On Thursday Senator German
intima;ed pretty strongly thav il the reso-
luton was pressed an effort would be made
to inclala some other senators in It against
whom -rarges have been made in the pub
lie prints At least two republican sena-
tors have been named as being as mucn in
need Of an investigation as Senator
Roach. Only re emily Senator Turple,
Of Indiana, referred to sena-
TOR from one Of the new
states al political and social
Ieper, loGtbsome. and with the stencil and
odor Of a plague worse than that of the
man who was washed seven times IN Jordan
to be cleansed, and attention. is being called
to still another republican senator who. it IS
alleged, was not faithful 20 a trust that had
been confded to him.
If the Senate decides to 60 into the record
of its members it will have some nasty work
to do, II the reports about some OF the sena-
tors have any foundation.
The highly respectable Senate must be in
teusely shocked to discover that its respect
ability is not beyond question. Doubtless
when the amiable Mr.. Hoar fired his reso-
luton into the senatorial arena he was far
from suspecting that he would hit others
besides the one he aimed at. What must
be his surprise, therefore, to discover that
he is likely to do more damage to his own
party than to tho Democratic party.
II Senator Roach is an emhezzler he
ought not to be tolerated in the Senate,
but if there nre other senators who are
guilty of crimes for which they have never
been punished It would be Unjust to single
hun o., for punishment. If it is deter
mined 60 adopt the Hoar resolution the
Senate may be kept in session a month
or more washing dirty linen.
he popularity OF the Roach CASE is that
the senator seems TO be Indifferent
as to whether the charge against
him IS Investigated or not. He does not ap-
pear TO make an explanation, but says he
Will make b statement if required to do So
He does not act like a man who fears to
have his past life looked into. An impress
sion prevails that the-e are facts in his case
which have NOT yet been made public and
which would show that he is not guilty OF
the crime of which no is charged. There
viii be q lively time in the Senate if it is
determined to turn tho search light on the
past lives Of senator's.

The worlds fair managers are convinced
that the newspapers of this country believe
In free press. A short while ago they sent
out circular letters to the publishers of
various newspapers asking how many fair
passes they would be likely to require dur
Ing the continuance Of the exposition. About
one-eighth OF the number of newspapers in
che country have responded, making appli-
cation for $500 6-month passes, Is 900 single
month and $4,000 6-day passes, besides a
number Of single ticket applications. The
authorities estimate that, should the remain
Ing seven-eighths of the press show an equal
appreciation of the generosity of the man
ayers and the attractions of the fair, the
total of free press passes would epproxi-
mate Sc 900, 900, or about one-third of the

The extraordinary efforts being made in
New York to rave Carlyle W. Harris, the
convicted wife murderer, from the death
penalty, have reached the state legislature.
A bill has been introduced in the Senate
providing that when q trial Judge denies a
new trial in a murder case on newly dis
covered evidence the defendant shall have
the right TO appeal to tue general term of
the supreme court. 1t Is proposed that the
bill. should it pass, become immediately
operative. Under the proposed law Harris
counsel would at once lle an appeal, which
would act as O stay Of execution until the
appeal bad been acted upon by the supreme
court. The bill was referred to tlS, iu-
diciGry committee and an effort Will be
made 10 have it considered at once. as Har-
gis' case, for the benefit Of which the bill
was drawn, will not admit OF delay. Mean
