STUFF AND NONSENSE.

To read the political prattle in THE
News esteemed contemporaries of Provi-
dence one would imagine that money
was the only factor in Rhode Island
campaign. Columns are devoted to that
sort,of political discussion which consid.
ers how one side or the other has or hasn't
money and where aud bow it is going
10 be used, its effect here and its waste
there, and lot of such stuff. That is
what these esteemed contemporaries
complacently regard as an educational
political discussion. AS matter OF
fact, if the stuff Were not so absurd IL
would be an insult to their fellow citi-
zens who are charged prettily nearly en-
masse with being purchasable. As IL is
such stuff insults their intelligence. 1t
is very easy to indulge in lallypataph
about things which II they were true are
crimes amenable under the law. but il
the local press believes any considerable
part of what 1t preteuds to think it's
readers are simple enough TO swallow
it owes "a duty TO the public
To expose the rottenness so glibly
gabbled about. The expenditure of
the political thousands might bc easily
ferreted out IL IL Were true. As il is
not true, il would be just rs well to shut
up talking stun aud nonsense

LOCAL ISSUES, YOU PLEASE.

The would-be Democratic Governor
and his claquers have in their remarks
10 the electors of this city so dis
torted and misrepresented the 'local
issue" Of this campaign that The News
considers 1t advisable TO reprint today
verbatim report of the Hon. Il. l..
Freeman's speech on this subject. This
able statement Of the case should be read
by every citizen who is unfamiliar with
the facts of the case and who may be
unwilling to accept, as a matter of course,
the decision OF the Supreme Court.
The facts Of the controversy in brief
are:
That no State officer was elected by
the people last year, because no candi-
date received = majority Of the votes.
That the choice Of Governor and 9th er
officers, therefore, devolved upon the
General Assembly in Grand Committee.
That at the termination of the many
by-elections the Grand Committee was
composed Of 50 Republicans and "a
democrats, with the former i'm control
Of the Senate and the latter in control OF
the House.
That these 5j Republicans would have
elected the Republican State ticket, IL
the Democratic House had not unseated
two Republicans and seated one Demo
crat. thereby leaving one town unrcpre-
sented in the House.

Spider and Wasp Fight.

A fierce battle for life between q large
spider and q wasp was witnessed by q
Fifteenth ward man in his garden one
day last summer. The spider had spread
her web in a corner Of the fence and
was patiently waiting for something to
turn up. Suddenly a wasp few into the
web. He was firmly caught, but his des-
perate efforts to escape tore several holes
in the f1imsy network about him. Here
the spider rushed out and rapidly be-
gan to repair the breaks The wasp
fought harder still and seemed to be
trying to get a chance to sting his sly
foe.
In minute or two the wasp lay per-
fectly still, as if dead The spider
rushed out and seized the body of her
victim The wasp, who had apparently
been playing possum, suddenly became
very much alive, and in flash spider
and wasp were clasped in a death lock.
There was a short, fierce struggle, and
both insects fell from the dilapidated
web to the ground. They lay there quite
still, and the interested spectator, stOOp-
ing over them, found that both were
dead -Philadelphia Record

One Wonan's Life.

A strange career, filed with startling
extremes and vicissitudes, has just end
ed in the death of Mrs George II. Will
iams at Portland, Or Married and
divorced in early life, she married the
lawyer who secured her legal separation
from her first husband The lawyer rose
to be a senator of the United States
from Oregon and attorney general of the
United States His bright and beautiful
wife became a great social figure She
had one more ambition-that her hT1s-
band should be chief justice of the su-
preme court The place which seemed
within his reach was lost through the
opposition of those who could not bear
to see the wife become the second lady
in the land. = Then both husband and
wife disappeared from public life, and
the queen of society sank into the gloom
of religious fanaticism-fasted and
prayed and doubtless wept-and now is
dead. City Star.

AS the time approaches for the begin
ming of the constitutional convention
the number of meetings held by the
woman suffragists grows less. There is
no cessation Of work, however. Sigma
lures are still being sought after, and
the latest one to be recorded is that of
Mrs. Thomas G. Platt, wife of the Re
publican leader. The committee on Ia
Dor organizations is working hard. 1t is
proposed to send to the convention a
petition book filed solely with indorse-
ments of labor societies. So much has
been said about the fashionable interest
which has been aroused that the leaders
want to emphasize the fact that this is
not class movement. The work among
the labor organizations has been but lit
tie noticed, but has been both vigorous
and successful The anti woman suf-
fragists, whose headquarters are at the
Hotel Waldorf, have opened a branch
at Brancard's, $50 West One Hundred
and Twenty-ffth street, where those
who wish to sign the protest may do SO.

Rope Skipping.

The skipping rope season has only
just begun, but already one little daugh-
ter has died because she tried to skip
too long without stopping. A little girl
in Mount Vernon was made sick by too
much rope jumping and died in the
hospital few days after. Rope skip
ping is healthful and wholesome ex-
ercise if not done too long at a time.
Little girls in England use always the
single rope-that is, they turn the rope
for themselves, using both hands and
skipping as they run. In this way steady
jumping is avoided, and no trouble can
follow.-New York Exchange

Combination of Blue and Red.

There is q tendency to return to the
combination of red and blue in gowns
both for home and street. These two
colors are natural compliments, and

Favors a Woman.

The Chicago Inter Ocean supports the
demand of the Equal Suffrage associa-
ton Of Illinois that a woman be nomi-
mated to the Office of trustee of the state
university of Illinois 1t adds: sit is
needless to repeat the argument that a
woman educated in American schools
and in an American home is at least as
fit a person to be intrusted with the bal
lot as man of alien. birth who has not
learned to read the American language
or how to speak it correctly at the time
of his naturalization. It is more impor-
tant to call attention to the fact that
the Equal Suffrage association has come
into the campaign early and promises to
stay until the end. -

HOW Sea birds ouench Their thirst.

The question is often asked, Where
do the sea birds obtain fresh water to
Stake their thirst?'' but we have never
seen it satisfactorily answered until a
few days ago. An old skipper with
whom we were conversing on the sub
ject said that he had seen these birds
at sea far from any land that could fur
nish them water lowering around and
under a stormcloud, Gathering like ducks
ON a hot day at pond and drinking in
the drops of rain as they fell They viii
smell a rain sq1all a hundred miles or
even farther off and scud for it with al
most inconceivable swiftness.
How long sea birds can exist without
water is only matter of conjecture,
but probably their powers of enduring
thirst are increased by habit, and pos
sibly they go without water for many
days, if not for several weeks Golden

BACK TO GERMANY
To Answer a Charge of
Forgery.
Max Hohl, the Architect, Will Be
Returned to Meet His
SiSters-in-LaW.

Max HOhl. the German architect arrested
some weeks ago upon charge of forgery COM
miIted in Hamburg In April last, will be sent
back 10 Germany to stand trial.
Or perhaps it Will be M. Profe & Co., money
lenders ana shylocks, who will be tried and
Hohl will be a damaging witness
In any case hohl will go back to his native
land upon its requisition Ia the matter which
has already been given in detail.
Commissioner HeacOck sOidecided Yesterday
In the case brought before him by August
Gutsch. Esq, attorney for the German Consul
here.
The friends Of Hoh turned out In good force
at the hearing yesterday afternoon Mr..
Gutsch explained The circumstances aud read
the law, and the Commissioner decided that
the case was an eXtraditaDle one and so certi-
fed to the authorities at Washington, who, as
III such cases made and provided, Will issue the
proper papers.
Max Hohl is a talented architect who ha
known something OF ease and comfort and little
OF that selt-denial that comes of not having The
money 10 buy things. He borrowed IL 600
marks OF PrOfe & Co. and could not pay IL
borrow some more and Profe e. Co. loaned him
$4,000 marks, out OF which he paid the first
loan, but was now no, elessly in debt.
His wife's relatives are very wealthy and
when he demanded an extension of time Mr.
Profe said that If he could get the Endorsement
OF his wealthy SlSterS-ln-law, Elizabeth and
Auguste on kenesse, he would grant 1t. 1t is
said that PROBE suggested TO Hoh to sign the
papers in his relatives name ana it would be all
right. AT any rate the names were added aud
the extension secured, and Hohl sailed away
TO New YORK, afterward came TO San Francisco
and was followed by his wife and children.

did not pay the large interest demanded by the
