Gloves figure largely in the list of ncc. essary expenditures by the wives of the cabinet officers, as upon cnch official en. tertainment when they, with the prcsi. dent and his wife, constitute the receiv- ing party pair of white gloves must bo sacrificed. Tho fact that the func. ton is card reception does not lessen the certainty that the glove worn on the right hand, which Is extended to tho passing stream of guests becomes. be. fore tho close of the evening, 60 soiled that no future effort at cleansing is of tho slightest avail. The glove on the left hand, of course, remains spotlesA
 Mrs. Cleveland never wears a glove on her right hand at receptions, as her experience during her first occupancy of the executive mansion taught her that by so doing she avoided the intense pain that invariably followed n great amount of handshaking when the glove was kept on. Mrs. Harrison wns compelled to altogether omit handShaking on ao- count of the condition of her hands, which were at times 50 swollen with rheumatism as to make the slightest pressure a matter of positive agony. All things considered, it would soem the most sensible thing to omit entirely the handshaking feature of public and card receptions at the White House - Kate Fields Washington.

 After M. Carnot had been taken to the prefecture it became generally known that his assassin was an Italian, and the feel ing of deep indignation among the crowd found vent in the form of attacks upon cafes kept by inoffensive natives of Italy. Three such places-the Cafes Casati, Ma derni and Matassi-were totally wrecked by the infuriated mob.

The Explosion Never Came.

Two young fellows had stacks of fun on Nicollet avenue among the Fourth of July crowds last year and scared some of the folks nearly out of their wits without the least danger to any one They had constructed what resem- bled an immense cannon firecracker, but with not pinch of powder about it, except as to fuse. Of fuses they had plenty, and they dexterously inserted them as they meandered along the street, supplying new one as fast as one burned out. They operated the practical joke by ore of them carrying the dan- gerous looking cracker under his arm and the other pretending to fire it un- known to him. When the wag slipped up and applied his punk from behind and then lodged away, those who saw it held their breath at the expected ex- plosion, which did not, however, take place, although few suspected the real reason why. Up and down the avenue those funmakers went, and many were the ears that were stopped during their fun and many the eyes turned away from the expected explosion. -Minneapolis Tribune.

 The piece Is really fired by electricity, and if any curious spectator of tho ex. plosion could trace tho wires throughout their underground path his eye would follow them for miles until they reached the Bidston ridge, where the highest point on the Cheshire side of the river is dominated by the graceful dome of an observatory.

 PUNNsUTAwNEY, Pa, June 2a.-Dyna- mite bombs so placed that when heavy weight runs over the rails they will ex- nlode, arc the weapons being used by the striking coal miners at Walston, whcro the mines of the Rochester and pittsburg Coal and Iron company are located. The Fifth and Sixteenth regiments and Sheri- dan troop arc now massing at Bcllwood, near Altoona, before marching to the mines. Bcllwood is 70 miles from Walls. ton, but the men are so determined that the governor has ordered the guards to move only in compact bodies This is done to prevent the rioters from capturing individual companies or small squads of guards.
 There are 9 GOO strikers in possession of the town, and they are determined to hold It. They have drilled guards stationed at n narrow pass through which the troops will have to go unless they leave the trains At this point the dynamite has been plac. ed under the tracks. On one side of the track hreastworks have been thrown up Behind the fertilization eight cannon, made from high tension gas pipe, arc placed in such position that the gunners can fire into tho trains If the dynamite falls to wreck the ears.

 Nearly all the strikers arc Slavs or Ital. ians. All aro armed with guns, and near ly all are mountain hunters and can han dlo firearms. They say they are deter mined to keep black sheep out of the Walston mines and will defy the state guards as they have defled the sheriff. They have driven all tho English speaking families who did not sympathizo with them into the surrounding towns Strik- CTS have marched into the town, forcibly taken away men they thought should be with them and badly beaten those who re- belled. Timid men have been separated from their families, and nothing has been heard from them since they were takon prisoners
 Tho few men who had been allowed in the mines to operate the pumps have now been driven out, and the mines arc being flooded. Tho owners tried to got to them yesterday, but wore driven back.

NJ. CARNOT KILLED.
STABBED BY AN ITALIAN IN THE PRES
 ENCE OF THOUSANDS.

By Feigning a Desire to Present a Petition
 Cesare Santo Leaped Upon the Steps of
 the Vehicle and Drove His Dagger Into
 the Presidents Abdomen.
 LYONS, June 25.-Under the blaze of a hundred electric lamps and before the eyes of 20, 900 enthusiastic fellow country men and their women and children Presi dent Sadi Carnot was given his death wound by the hand of a fanatical Italian Cesare Giovanni Santo Is the name of the fellow, and with deadly certainty he drove the silent but sure weapon of his country into the back of the president until the sharp point pierced his heart. The blow was true, and scarce half an hour elapsed before the president lay at the prefecture a corpse and 500, 900 frenzied Frenchmen were clamoring for the life of the wretch, to protect whom brigade of soldiery was necessary.
 The president was visiting Lyons in connection with the international exhi- bition. Upon his arrival here he was ten dered Q reception at the prefecture, after which he visited the exhibition. After spending some time at the exhibition he proceeded to the Palais do Commerce, where banquet was given in his honor At 9;25 o'clock President Carnot started for the theater, where a gala performance was to be given because of his presence in the city. Several carriages were in the procession, the first one being occupied by the president. NJ. Carnots carriage was driven slowly along in front of the Palace of Commerce and then turned into Rue de la Republique, still following the fla cade of the palace, when half way down the street, which was lined with enthusi- astic crowds of people who were loudly cheering, a man rushed out of the crowd and sprang upon the step of the president s landau.
 No Warning Given.
 Just at this moment NJ. Carnot was waving his right hand and saluting with his hat in his left hand in response to the ovation that was being given him by the crowd. The people close to the carriage saw that the man standing on the step had knife in his hand. By the glare of the electric light they saw the blade gieam in the air as the assassin's arm descended, and then President Carnot was seen to fall back in his seat. His face was deadly pale. Che of his hands was pressed over his heart, where the steel had entered his body. --.-. ..
 M. Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, who was seated beside NJ. Carnot, immediately struck the assassin blow full in the face and knocked him from the step, thus pre- venting the man from again stabbing the president, which it was his evident inten- tion to do.
 Instantly cries of ''Le president est as- sassinen' and Mort la assassinl" were

LAND YOU'LL REMEMBER ME"

One evening as the sun went down Among tks golden hills, And silent shadows, soft and brown, Crept over wales and rills, I watched the dusky bats a-wing Dip down the dusky lea, Hearkening, heard maiden sing, And you'll remember me-" "When other lips and other hearts, Came drifting through the trees, Tn language whose excess imparts" Was borne upon the breeze. Ah, love Is sweet, and hope is strong, And life's a summer seal A woman's soul is in her song, And you'll remember me-" Still ripping from the throbbing throat, With joy akin to pain, There seemed a tear in every note, A sob in every strain. Soft as the twilight shadows creep Across the Estless lea, The singer sang her love to sleep With, "You'n remember me-"
