sight almost took his breath

OF all the tight places the
workingman's friend got into
since his congressional career
began this was the worst. The
applicants were unrelenting
and piled him with many di-
rect questions, and of such an
ugly nature, about making
selection from among them,

ster was obliged to get upon the
highest board of the fence and
cry, Its in the hands of the

and wriggling Hines had, to
have the blame placed upon the

at the impression he tried to

Public Printer Benedict took charge of
the government printing Office this week
and he is already up to his neck in the
work of reducing the force which has
been kept far too large by Mr.. Palmer,
because he did not care to discharge anv
of the Republicans and was compelled
by Democratic senators and representa-
tives to put on few Democrats. Mr..
Benedict says: "The condition of the
force is without precedent. There are
1884 persons on the rolls, and when |
stepped out before | left ., 1872. We can
not accommodate SO many; there is no
place for them to work. Employees are
now working only from one-half to one
third time; daily furloughs being regu-
lar thing. This force has got to be reduc-
ed to working basis, and | shall do it as
soon as possible"
The Republicans in the office are all
looking for their discharge, and violate
no confidence in saying that the most of
them will get what they are looking for,
They certainly have no right to COM
plain. 1t is more than fourteen months
since the Democratic administration
came into power.

Coxeyism is tottering on its last legs
in Washington. CoXey, Browne and
Jones counted upon being acquitted
when they were tried for violating the
laws for the protection of the capitol
building and grounds, and they have
not yet recovered from the shock of
being convicted. They have applied for
a new trial, but there isn't the slightest
probability that they will get it. They
may be fined or imprisoned, or both, in
the discretion of the judge. The com
missary department at the Coxeyite
camp has begun to get low and the men
are now only given two meals a day, and
desertions are getting quite frequent.
The health officer of the District of
Columbia is also after them with sharp
stick, having reported their camp to be
a menace to the health of the entire city, ,
and given them a peremptory notice to
put it in healthy condition or get out
Force has been added to this recon-
mendation by information stating that
two deserters from Coxey's army were
down with smallpox at Philadelphia.
Coxey is trying to curry favor by de-
claring that he has no connection with
the various bodies of men headed for
Washington and styling themselves
Coxeyites.

President Cleveland, all the members
of the cabinet in the city, most of the
supreme court, and large number of
prominent officials, members of congress
and citizens of Washington went to
Fredericksburg, Va, yesterday to see
and take part in the ceremonies attend
ant upon the unveiling of the monument
to Mary Washington in that city. To-
day those who had not before been
familiar with it are loud in their praise
of "old Virginia hospitality" known
and appreciated throughout the civilized
world as unsurpassed and indispensable.

Secretary Hoke Smith made no mis-
take when he determined, about a year
ago, that the contract for printing the
Patent Office Gazette should be open to
competitive bidding every year. Last
year the saving was comparatively small
about $l0,0O0-and the scandal involy-
ing the name of Hon. Josiah Quincy with
the successful bidders, the National
Lithograping Company followed; but
this years bidding enables the secretary
to have the work done by the same old
concern that did it for years and at
price nearly 100000 below what was
paid for it for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1898.

WASHINGTON LETTER


Washington, May ii, 1871.
The more the. Democrats study the
proposed amendments to the Wilson
tariff bill, and ,,the causeslwhich led up
to their adoption by the subcommittee,
the less they object to them as a whole.
When the amendments were first made
public there were some extremely Wig
orous protests from Democratic senators
and representatives, and for time it
looked as though the concessions made
in those amendments might prove to be
but another case of jumping out of the
frying pan into the fire." but today the
feeling is decidedly better, and the i'm
preston generally, regardless of politics,
is that the proposed amendments viii! all
be adopted and the bill passed by
Democratic votes.
Even Senator Hill is expected to vote
for the bill, although it is understood he
has about made up his mind to first test
the sense of the senate regarding the in.
come tax, by moving that the bin be
recommitted to the finance committee
with instructions to report it without the
income tax. He declined positively but
politely to make any additional state
ment concerning his intentions, since
the amendments We're made public
There are few Democrats, however, who
believe that his vote will be cast against
the bill when it is put upon its passage

HettY GREEN'S Nerve.

Once when John J. Cisco was Hetty
GREEN'S banker she came into the estab-
lishment with several hundred thousand
dollars worth of securities in the black
bag. She said she had walked all tbs
way down town and was tired. The bank
or expostulated with her for her reckless
ness in taking such risk of attack and
robbery on the street.
''Why didn't you come down in car
riage?" he demanded.
"You may be able to ride in cabs, Cis-
co" said the richest woman in America
sharply. ''but 7 can't afford it..
Mrs. Green used to keep all her plate
and diamonds as well as her securities
in the strong boxes of the Ciscos, and once
month she would 60 down there ano
polish up the articles and cut her own cou-
pons. She keeps up the practice today al
the Chemical bank. One day report
ioated around Wall street that Cisco was
in trouble. The report was not verified
but it reached Mrs. Green's ears, and she
went at once to the bank and demanded
every cent Of her account. She had $780,
600 on deposit there. Cisco protested that
the withdrawal of such a large single
amount in one day would ruin him, but
this made no difference to Mrs. Green
She demanded her money and got it. I,

strong boxes The bankers failed the next
day.-Nsw York World.

Stage Jokes.

Actors and actresses have good deal Of
fun among themselves on the stage
though guying is strongly discounte
nanced by good managers. Generally the
fun is impromptu, but sometimes a joke is
carefully planned beforehand.
In performance of "The Lady of the
Lake" one of the principal actors-Rod-
erick Dhu-was known to be in pecuniary
difficulties.
When Roderick gave the line, II am
Roderick Dhu," Fitz-James responded,
Eyes, and you rents due too"
On the production of piece called 1.-The
Spy" the early acts showed that it was
going to be dead failure. So when, at
certain point, character had to rush on
and shout, Give hundred pounds for the
spy" the author, who was concealed be-
hind a rock, arose and cried, tits yours
copyright, manuscript and parts" That
was the end of the performance.
When eating takes place on the stage,
the temptations to play tricks with the
food are naturally great. In Henry w
the leek, which Pistol has to eat, is usu-
ally made from an apple But on one new
er to be forgotten occasion the Fluellen OF
the evening gave him real onion, and he
had no choice but to struggle through It,,
though the tears coursed down his fat
cheeks.-London Tit-Bits.

satisfactory pleasure ground. Ihls spot,
commanding magnificent sea view, and
easy OF access by the cars .of the street
railroad, has proved one of the most
popular resorts of our city during the
summer months.
One must be familiar with the
character of the ground in this locality
to fully appreciate the amount OF labor
involved in its grading and improve
ment. The surface was rough, uneven
and honeycombed with boulders OF SO
large size that constant blasting was
necessary to effect their removal from
the ground, and the whole lot pre-
sented an exceedingly unattractlve ap-
pearance. The grading was begun IN
accordance with approved plans on July
LIST, and work was pushed TO ms success
full completion in September Inc I'M
provements, briefly described, are as fol-
lows A driveway twenty feet wide, at
the entrance to the park and increasing
gradually to a width of fifty feet oppo-
site the band stand, extends around the
lot A central walk leading from the
promenade to the driveway divides De-
fore reaching the band stand and forms
q curving path on either side; hover
bed is encosed between the diverglng
walks. On the lower side of the lot,
fronting the harbor, is terrace fifteen
feet wide and ninety feet long, on WHICH
seats are to be placed for the use OF the
citizen and tourist.
The natural slope of the ground be-
tween the inside and outside OF tne
driveway is so great that IN oroef To
give a level cross-section to the drive,
fill of eight feet containing nineteen
hundred and eighty cubic yards OF eaftn
was required. The walks and drive were
edged, and the slopes covered with TURF,
of which seven hundred and nlnety-hve
square yards were used. A cobble stone
gutter, three feet wide, was lald on
eiJher side of the drive, and both drive
and terrace were surfaced with broken
stone. After being graded. the lawns
between the walks and driveway re-
ceiyed covering of loan six inches IN
thickness after rolling.
Mr.. JohnGuIliver was awarded the con-
tract for this work, amounting TO
81, 703 o.
There is still some work to be done on
this park, which will be commenced In
the early summer.
Fort Summer Park.
The situation of this park and the
character of it's surroundings give one
very good view of the city proper, also
view of the city of Deering.
Beyond the necessary maintenance
work of the year there has been no work
or expenditures incurred on this park,
still it has been observed that the pub
lie use of it mas been greater than the
previous year which goes TO show that
our citizens Sapprove of the work being
done by the park commissioners.
Our associations with Mr.. Fernald, city
engineer, also with Mr.. Prince. street
commissioner, have been very pleasant
the past year, and we.wish to extend our
thanks to them for courtesy to us when
we have called upon them for assistance
in our department..

A Blown Out Candle.

The only reason, it seems, that we don t
die when we are in room where candle is
blown out is that we don't get enough OF
the deadly composition that is eliminate
from the burning wick. of which carbu-
reted hydrogen, carbonic oxide and aero
leine are some OF the component parts. A
medical journal tells of company Of
jokers who tried pleasantly on a boy
sleeping in one corner of their room. They
held to the boy s nose the smoke of blown
out candle. In little while the boy fell
into short breathing, trem bling and
cramps and died in three days.-Nev

Portrait of One of the Old Mayors OF
Portland.

Portland.
Mrs. j. n. Read, of Woodfords, has in
her possession an interesting picture of
one of the older Mayors or Portland,
Jonathan Dow who was elected in 1882 to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Mayor Emerson. This picture is
one of the gold mounted, painted minia-
lures of sixty years ago, oval in shape
and from two to three inches in dame
ter The miniature was painted by an
artist in England. In the back of the
locket is a lock of hair of his wife,
arranged carefully upon a mother of
pearl plate, and held by a gold clasp set
with pearls The looket is furnished
with case of satin and kid.
This locket was the property of Mrs.
Reads father, Hiram II. Dow, who was
the foster son of Mayor Dow. He left
it to his daughter with the direction
that it should be given to General Neal
Dow, who is nephew of the old Mayor
Dow. Mrs. Reed intends to give the
Iocket to General Dow ON the occasion
of his ninetieth birthday, which is
now approaching.
This miniature also has an interest
from the fact that it will enable the city
authorities of Portland to obtain from
it portrait of the second Mayor of
Portland.
