With glistening eyes he read, forget
ting his own sorrows. Half An hour
had passed when hand drew the
paper from his grasp, and his eldest
daughters cold voice said: You for
get that this room is not intended for
your use. Miss Wade was never so
abusive in her language as her hot
tempered sister, but her icy, sarcastic
words were often quite as cutting.
But tonight her father scarcely heard
the words. He rose mechanically
and, with feeble steps, climbed the
STAIRS to his chamber. There in the
bare, desolate room. with its biz of
faded carpet and its scanty furnishings,
shut out from the CHEEKY little parlor
with its fire, piano, book and cushioned
chair, the old man spent the long
evenings in dreary loneliness.
There he tolled over his spiritIess
sermons, trying out of his meager, bar,
rem life to find something that might
bring encouragement and comfort to
some struggling soul. When the oil
gave out in the little lamp, and the
light grew dim, he would close mis-
book with sigh and gather his paper
together, and often, as the sound of
music and laughter foated upward
from the parlor below, the lonely old
man, on his knees, spent the remainder
of the evening, and indeed much of
the night, IN agonizsd pleading for
release, for help. Tonight, his only
wish, his one plea, was for death and
with tears falling from his eyes he beg
ged plteously that his Father in heaven
would take him 10 himself
Sleep, however, brought uncon
seriousness, and with the morning came
a new desire to live. 1t came-for SO
curiously does the trivial mingle with
the tragic in this checkered life of ours
from an invitation out to tea The
invitation came from Widow Rlckford,
one of his parishioners, rich and child
less. and as full of whims and oddities
as a woman can possibly be. Doubt
less she had summoned him to say
that his dismissal was richly deserved,
reflected the parson; but, at all events,
he should get good supper, and the
widows squash pies were famous.
Afternoon came, and Parson Wade
brushed his threadbare clothes, tied
and retied his rusty necksie with stiff,
eager fingers, and srnoothered his thin
locks with Infinite pains. He was
trembling all over with delight, this
foolish old man, for it was many a
weary month since any one had invited
him out to tea, and he was as pleased
as child at the prospect.
A httie smile stole over the wrinkled
face with its sad lines and burrows OF
care, and Parson Wade decided, in
this new, intoxicating pleasure, to say
nothing to his daughters of the parish
committees decision until after his
return from Widow Bickford's tea. So,
off he started with something akin to
briskness in his gait, and his head
quite erect, as became pastor invited
out to tea by wealthy member OF his
flock.
All through the meal, at which the
parson was the only guest, the CHEEKY
little widow watched him narrowly with
her sharp little eyes, gossiping gayly

call for a special session of the legisla-

Thu administration men are alarmed
by the statement of Senator Murphy
concerning the Cleveland tariff bill,
They know that il he lives up to that
statement-'I will endeayor, So far as
lies In my power, to see that no injns-
tice is done to the interests of my native
city and state'-lt means another dem-
ocra,ic vote against the Cleveland tariff
bill in the senate, where they have few
votes to spare.
The majority report in favor Of the
Cleveland bill is not calculated to make
any votes for that measure. 1t is not
much of a Christmas present for the
democratic congressman to take home
to their unemployed constituents; its
fine talk about future prosperity will no
buy groceries or pay house rent for
those who have already been brought TO
want by the prospects of that which it
so highly lauds.
Secretary Carlsle's long delayed an
nual report was submitted to congress
this week, The most noteworthy rec
ommendation it contains is that asking
congress for authority to issue 5000,
0OO,0O in bonds. This is just what
Senator Sherman said during the silver
fight that the administration would have
to do sooner or later.

lage of Montgomery is greatly excited
over tragedy, which occurred last
night Adolphus T. Babcock, a youth
about % years of age, and Ella Revetta,
a girl of l6. went to the Christmas fes-
tiyities at the Montgomery church e.
Afterward the girl went walking with an
other young man. Bebcock met them
on the street. grabbed the girl and shot
her, the ball entering tie lung near the
heart, and lodging there. He then pulled
out his knife and cut his throat four
times. The infatuated people would
have lynched him if they had not
thought he would die anyway. Both are
still alive, but the chances are AGAINST
their recovery.

holders will have to wait for their re-
turns or the court will have to order the
receivers to make up the deficiency out
of other funds of the Union Pacific or
else set aside the lease of property,
Should the latter be done, the road
would no doubt go into the receiver
hands at once, resulting in a sweeping
revision of rates, with little regard for

Men Must Not Strike.

MILWAUKEE, Wis Dec. 26.-Receiy-
ers of the Northern Pacific, preparing
for strike of all the employees, applied
some time ago to Judge Jenkins of the
United States court for an order restrain

eous strike and doing any damage to
the property and interfering with the
opefation of the road. The receivers
had ordered general reduction of wages
of S to per cent. The employees OBJ

have been in progress three weeks, To-
day negotiations were broken off, and a
strike being imminent, the receivers
have decided 10 make use Of the lnjunc-

Joined from striking or ordering strikes
the petition of the receivers mentions
the names of the 80 men who have been

WASHINGTON, December %, 1898.
Senator Hoar's arraignment of Mr..
Cleveland for his unconstitutional as
sumption Of authority in dealing with
Hawaii as admitted in his special mes
sage to congress, was terrible, but
strictly IN accordance with facts. The
memory Of his burning words, as well as
those used by Representative Boutelle,
of Maine, in a speech in the house, will
linger long with Mr.. Cleveland, who has
already expressed himself to a friend as
being sick of the whole business He
will be sicker than that before congress
gets through with it, as the democrats
have not shown any great desire to either
shield or defend him. The following ex-
tract from Mr.. Hoar's speech is both
true and pertinent: "If Mr. Willis went
out instructed to reinstate the old gov
eminent, absolutely or upon conditions
could little Hawaii help herself, if the
American people had been behind the
act? No. Mr. President, this admins
tration has been hurried into this tran
saction, not by any sense of justice to
Hawai-, not by any desire to vindlcate
the national honor, but for the sake of
making what has turned out to be
weak, impotent attack on its predecessor.
The great name and fame of Benjamin
Harrison are a source of envy and dis
content in some bosoms."

Strait has introduced a resolution in the

evidently secured large amount of
money. \ party of young people from
Cotfeville, who were out driving, sat in
their conveyance close to the scene and
witnessed the affair. They were the first
to bring the news of the robbery to town.
Several gentlemen of this city, Who do
business IL the territory, were victims of
the brigands. Fortunately no one was
injured by the shooting, which was all
done by the robbers. One young man,
who was in the smoker, got up as the
robbers came in and walked ahead o
them through the different cars, in the
hope of avoiding them. When they got
