An. Women Good Ll,lr.n,.,

"Droves Of old women. crowds Of middle
aged women and bevies Of young womer
crowd the justices courts" said ex-Judge
Jones OF Arizona. a well seasoned practi-
tioner in the minor tribunals Of this city
and county, yesterday. Just look at those
female litilarIs rushing i.to Justice Dunn's
court
"Oh. those are not litigants That's the
wedding party" said somebody who knew
the visitors.
well, my remark goes just the same"
returned the venerable oracle. II know
what Pm talking aboat. Somebody has
called this poor mans court. ! think it
ought TO be called the woman s court. The
reason SO many women get into the JUS
tees court ilstead of the superior court is
because their transactions are as yet not
very large. Just wait till the women are
commercially as well rs politically manu-
mitted, and you'll see litigation begin to
buzz. Heaven speed the day, say l, for
then will have as many clients as need.
Inever could get along well with men, but
when it comes to the ladies-ahem!-they
tell me have an attractive way about me-
"Pd rather have a woman for client
than to have retainers on my books from
half a dozen men.
"I'll tell "" why. Men are apt to forget
their cases or reach some agreement or
compromise or lose interest and let the
matter go by default. Will women dc
that? Not muchl They'll fight to the bit,
ter end. ."-San Francisco Examiner.

A meteor Sizing from the heavens came

Particles of the meteor as they few through
the air with the appearance of redhot
chunks of iron struck the water with hiss
ing sounds and disappeared, only to send
up masses of steam where they had gone
down.
The condition of the atmosphere during
the fall of the meteor was most peculiar
There were gaseous odors all around, and
even the surface of the ocean glowed as if it
were ablaze. The heavens, too, appeared
to be on fire. From the zenith to the sur.
face of the water there were long trails Of
sparks along the clearly outlined path OF

Politicians on the Warpath.

There was an encounter out west during

were Whitelaw Reid and Bourke Cochran.
The former was travelling in his private car

ed. The two met and Mr.. Reid invited Mr..
Cochran into his domain. The editor of
The Tribune was travelling in his own in
terests and of course inquired from Mr..
Cochran what his purpose out there might
be. The latter valiantly confessed that he
was stumping the west against Mr.. Reid,
but the two got along without any conflict,
and when it came out that Mr.. Cochran
was accompanied by his wife Mr.. Reid in
sisted that she should join Mrs. Reid in the
private car.
Mrs. Cochran and Mr.. Reid discussed New
York people in q reminiscent vein till in
the course of the talk it was discovered that
Mr.. Reid had been one of the ushers at the
wedding of Mrs. Cockran's mother After
this the harmony became more marked
than ever, and if a stranger had taken a
view of the jolly party he would never have
suspected that one man was candidate for
vice president and the other was touring

Economy and Waste.

The need of careful management is per-
haps less as people become more prosperous,
but within reasonable limits there is no
situation in life where judicious manage
ment is not imperatively demanded. Waste
means destruction of useful things; stingi-
ness is often time and strength wasted in
making or caring for things that have too
little value to be worth the pains and labor
bestowed upon them. Baltimore Herald.

Animals Which Steal,

When animals steal, there is selection
of suitable objects. The dog or cat confine
themselves to food, There is, as rule, no
boarding or hiding, but the food is used at
once. But in the stealing of useless articles
practiced by magpies, rats and monkeys,
the method is often systematic, or at long
intervals boarding or hiding being the
rule. This is a sort of kleptomania, perni-
ciousness or love of stealing for its own
sake.-Current Literature

The New Tin Tar.
The Mckinley tariff law provides that
q duty Of 4 cents pound shall be levied
on pig tin after the 1st of next July.
The provision was meant to encourage
the discovery and development of tin
mines in this country. Since it was
passed the country has learned that there
are no tin mines to be thus encouraged.
The imposition of the tax, therefore,
will protect nobody and do nobody any
good. 1t will add to the cost of tin, which
is largely used as a raw material by many
of our manufacturers. 1t will enhance
the cost of all articles in which tin is
used. It will still further discourage the
infirm "infant industry" Of tin plate man.
ufacture which the Mckinley law has
been so extensively nursing.
Nevertheless the Republicans in the
senate have prevented the passage of a
measure to repeal the tax before the
time set for it to take effect. Their only
reason seems to be that they have come
to regard the Mckinley tariff as thing
sacred, a scripture that no man may alter
in any of its parts without inc1rrine

Irving Their LMcl.

It will be remembered that in 1888 there
was great earthquake in Ischia, an island
in the bay of Naples. Thousands of people
were killed and hurt, some buried alive for
days. Well, the Neapolitans were very
generous in sending aid to Ischia. But
they were also extremely brisk in referring
to little book of numbers with which they
are great deal more intimate than with
anything else in the shape of literature.
This little book is a curious nonsensical
piece of work-a string of common and alb
stract nouns, adjectives, etc., with num-
bers attached to them, such words, for ex-
ample, as king" ""queen, ""bread, p" "war,"
famine, husband" ""joy," "cat," dog"
etc. 1t is the lottery mongers' wade mecum.
When therefore the calamity of Ischia
was heard of, the Neapolitans Immediately
turned up the word earthquake" in the
precious little book. This was the founda-
tion number of the series of three, which
constitutes 'terno." To complete the
series some chose one word. some another,
more or less opposite to the occasion-such
as the day of the week and the day of the
month, or the number corresponding to
death" and island" The odd thing was
that when Saturday arrived ''terno" came
out that actually brought good deal Of
money into various Neapolitan homes.
I have been told that "glad' or "joy"
and 'stone," with the addition of the num-
ber corresponding to our great statesman's
age when he was staying in Naples two or
three years ago, was good investment for
those who tried it.-All the Year Round.

In the olden times of our Statehood,
before the steam engine bullied the
earth with thunderous stroke and re-
duced space to mere matter of time,
when whiskey with sugar was five
cents a glass and all backs were turned
as that glass was filed, and when a
white man was considered as good as
the negro if he behaved himself, the
Governor of North Carolina took it
into his head one day to pay long
promised visit to his neighbor, the
Governor of South Carolina. So be
put clean shirt and a pair Of socks in
mis- saddle bag, mounted his borse and
rode away through the pine forests to-
ward the South. Diligently following
his nose in this direction he came in
due time to the home of his brother
Governor, where he was received with
all the honors of genuine Southern
hospitality. When asked how be felt
his characteristic reply was, "Thank
you, Governor, I am tired, sleepy,
hungry and SOBER" The host cordial
ly assured him that he could remedy
these.
Next day dinner was served at y
o'clock as the horn blew for the hands
to come in. After it was over the two
Governors retired to the shade of the
long back porch, where corncob pipes
with long twists of home grown tobacco
awaited them.
There, in the long, soft afternoon,
reclining on easy bottom rockers, they
lolled and smoked and talked the
hours away. Betwixt the twain, on
the floor, sat a brimming pitcher OF
apple toddy, with the mellow, roasted
fruit inpudently floating on the sur
face of the divine tipple. From time
to time this aided and enlirened the
