Chris. Miller, a Chicago newspaper
man, who is walking around the boun-
dary line of the United States, report
ed in st. Paul Tuesday. He has SO far
covered $500 miles. He went from
New Orleans to Spokane. Now he has
left for Chicago to follow the shore
line to the Atlantic, and thence to New
Orleans. He trusts to the notoriety o.
the feat and pickings from lectures en-
livened with boxing to keep up his
pocket-money. He left New Orleans
November 13, 1892, and has two and
one-half years from that time to win
the wager. He has lost thirty pounds

THE SCHOOL TRUSTEESHIP.

The BEE could have informed the
many aspirantS for the trusteeship of the
colored schools that Mr.. Lewis A. Cor.
niSh would be his own successor.
The BEE as well as other. urged
the reappointment of Mr.. Cornish
He is entitled to it because he is emf
nently qualified; that he is a moral.
list and there is no fear of teachers be-
ing taking the advantage of while he
and other such men have control of the
colored schools.
Mr.. Cornish is a fair man, who has
no favorites, no friends to reward nor
enfm es to punish. 1t was certa MY in
bad taste for Reve. Anderson Taylor,
VIM. Credit, II. G. Robinson, who have
recently come into the city and who
know nothing about the wants of the
people, to attempt to suggest to the
Commissioners men who have no inter

BOTH ARE AGAINST YOU MUDDLE
THINGS UP.
Mr.. Cha Sc. Good morning M
hewlett.
Mr.. Hewlett. How do you do
friend Chase, are you just from
the Press Convention?
Mr.. chase. Yes, and we had a
grand convention. By the way [
see that our friend Cooper came
out all right, In his court affair,
and [ am glad of it.
Mr.. Hewlett, [ was delighted
when the Judge dismissed his
case, but you will notice that he
says Judge Kimball was his
counsel, or words to that effect.
He says the judge cross-exam-
ined the precious pair, etc. Now,
any one with a grain of sense
knows that no judge will take it
upon himself to Gro s-examlL e
the witness for the prosecution
or defense. A Judge will oft en-
ask questions for the purpose of
clearly understanding the testi-
mony given, but the crossexam
ination, of the witnesses for the
prosecution, is made by defend
ants counsel.
Mr.. Chase. I thought, from
reading his paper of the 10Th,
that he had no counsel.
Mr.Bewlett. If you had seen me
leave my bed at 2 80 in the morn
and go to the house of the clerk
of the court, in company with
Col. Carson and Rev. w. B.
johnson, and from there to the
18th st Station to get him, you
would have thought he had
counsel, and if you had been in
the court, the day of trial, and
heard me defend him for two
hours, and heard his friends con-
gratulate me you would have
known that he had counsel. Yes
1 managed to get him off. You
know when you are defending a
person, and you have the law on
your side and the facts against
you, you must talk about the law
and never refrr to the facts, and
when you have the facts on your
side and the law against you,
you must talk about thefacts
and never refer to the law, but
when both the facts and the
law. are against you, you mu It
talk all around both and touch
upon neither. In other words just
muddle things up, While MIR,
Cooper ought not to have been
arrested, the fact is they did
arrest him and made up a lot of
testimony, against him, which
was mravelled with much diff
Guilty; and it is silly to attempt to
belittle counsel, by saying there
was nothing to defend. We as a
people must learn to be true to
each other, and especially to
those who be friend us.
Mr.. Chase. [ understand that,
after all you did for him, he tried
to get you to credit him, and
because you would not he tried
to get some one else to defend
him, but none would touch him.
Mr. Hewlett. Well, [ don't
want to say anything against the
man, except that / don't like his
methods He is outof the scrape
now and I hope everything will
go on smoothly Good bye Chase

BETTER FOR WILLIAM.

Later Returns From the Election IN Ger
many Looks More Favorable to the Gov
ernment.
BERLIN, June 17.-The two most con-
spicuous features of the electoral re-
turns have been the continued reports
of social democratic gains and Richter
list losses. Early in the morning most
of the news still came frem the city
constituencies, and the list of opposi-
ton deputies grew rapidly. In the
afternoon, however, dispatches from
the agricultural districts revealed the
other side of the page. From all that
can now be ascertained it is reasonably
safe to conclude that the government
certainly has lost nothing by the disso-
luton, and probably has won a little.
The revised list of the Berlin polls
show that the radical vote fell from
10000 to 52,os5, while the social demo
cratic vote increased from 1851 to
15O,077. The vote of the conservatives
and anti Semites increased from 80, O9s
to 4S,135. Complete returns from the
Second division of Munich show that
George Won Vollmar, the victorious
leader of the South German democrats
polled 1920 votes. In Strasburg
August Bebel, social democrat, polled
6.20S votes. against 6,9S1 for DIR. Petri,
his national liberal opponent. In
Glauchau, Ignaz Auer, social democrat,
polled 1879 votes Cannon King
Krupp, in Essen. who will go through
a new ballot with Herr Stoetzel, his
clerical opponent, received 10, 4S7 votes.
Stoetzel received 10, Az.
At 2 o'clock this morning returns
have been received from go out of 397
electoral districts. In ninety-eight can
didates have been elected; in 122 second
ballots will be necessary. The nation
al liberals, conservatives and clericals
are holding their own. The Richter
radicals remain very far behind. OF
the ninetyeight deputies already
elected, fortytwo are counted for the
bill and fifty-six against it. Since the
reports received up to 10 o'clock were
sent out the dispatches have shown
that the government has gained two
more new seats and has lost one.

1t is learned, however, that Mr.. Pres

In no instance did the contractor com
ply with the specifications. The roof
is the scommonest kind. There is not a

the building is not safely anchored.

Keep Young.

Judicious mental work may help to
lift one out of the ruts of premature
old age. Read and think of what you
read. Don't use your mind as if IT
were a sieve and you were trying to
see how much you could pour through
it. There is a belief extant that knowl-
edge, if gained at all. must be acquired
in youth. Fallacious theory! Behold
Calico at three score and ten pursuing
his studies with unfagging zeal; Cato
beginning Greek when advanced in
years: Ogilby. commencing classical
studies when past fifty. Gladstone is
as much the student to-day as when
the bloom of youth mantled his cheek.
Be kind to the feelings and fancies of
youth. If they prove perennial, so
much the betteri Don't forbid yourself
glad. recreative thought and action.
Don't be ashamed to make yourself as
pretty as you can. A sensible woman
may feel a thrill of pleasure innocent
as maiden's when receiving a glance
of respectful admiration from a manly
man. Smile without affectation, be
pleasant without being silly-in short,
be young as long as you can--Kate

man law. provided it is substituted by
a well-regulated coinage of gold and
silver, equitably equalized and supple
mented by currency issued by the gov
crnment direct. 1 oppose patchwork
in finances, and favor the statu quo
until a complete financial system is
agreed upon, to which all parties must
yield i'm their demands for harmonious
action.
Representative John Davis (pop. of

street is war on western and southern
agriculture. Cotton, wheat and wool
fall and rise with silver bullion. 1 ia
vor the equal and full coinage of gold
and silver of present standard weights.
supplemented with treasury notes, all
equally legal tender for all debts and
taxes. 1 am opposed to borrowing
London money. We can make our
man law till something better can be
had.
Representative Kilgore (dem. of

Sherman law on the condition that
silver be retained. AS money of the
