to me. Bladder stood with his face to
the door, engaged in hot dispute
with my neighbors.
1.-THE devil himself couldn't collect
his thoughts with that coughing GO
ing on" he was saying as l woke up
Il was coughing to make you quiet
that endless murmuring made me 50
nervous!" cried Fraulein Lieschen, her
voice trembling with annoyance.
I'm writing poem, tell you, and
when one is composing poem one
must murmur. If you can't sleep
through it you can't be healthy. You
must have eaten too much
supper or something. You can
congratulate yourself that you've
got such ledger as Ref. Do
you understand me? If you had me
I'd teach you"
Again and again, in as persuasive a
voice as could assume, l begged the
orator at the wardrobe to put an end
to the speech he was delivering on
his views of landlady's duties
toward her tenants. At length my
patience gave way, and. sitting up in
bed, commanded him in voice Of
authority to give over his poetry and
|
and get into bed. Bladder at length
seemed to realize that he was tros-
passing on my hospitality, and that n
certain amount of respect was due to
my wishes as his host. He became
silent, put his manuscript carefully
into my dressing gown pocket, cast
one last fiery glance at the door and
retired to bed.
do not know if he saw the daugh-
ter of sunny Spain, with her gaelic
like eyes, in his dreams. but | do
know that he snored as il he were
dreaming of sawmill.
About three hours later the winter
daylight struggled into the room.
Balder got up and dressed himself as
quietly as mouse. He seemed as
though he was trying to make up for
the disturbance he had made in the
night, or rather in the morning. He
excused himself most politely for
waking me up, but said ne felt that
he could not leave without saying
goodby and thanking me for my kind
hospitality. Then he left the ROOM
closing the door softly behind him.
At the same moment | heard the door
of my landlady's room open. Half 70
minutes dead silence followed, and
then Bladder fell back into my room
like one stunned
"Who is that girl that came out of
the next room?" he asked breathlessly.
''Fraulein Licschen, of course, tho
daughter of my landlady, to whom
you were kind enough to deliver u
lecture in the middle of the night
-"
'She is my Spanish gir,w he
gasped, grinding his teeth and shals-
ing his head disconsolately. He took
long time to recover himself. He
sat down again on the side of my bed,
a@ he had done on his return from the
ball. But in what different mood!
He made me swear to him that l
would never reveal his name to Frau
lein Liesfhen, but that | would ex-
cuse him Without giving any clue to
his iden&ty for the disturbance he
had caused in the night This duty l
willingly undertook.
Fraulein Lieschen, who was a good
natured girl, looked at the matter
from the comical side and readily ac-
ccpted my unknown friends apolog :;
and whenever we met on the stairs
after that she would say joliingly:

see that a strong effort is being made to
defeat your present Congressman, Hon. VIM.

which he espOuses is a just cause. Itgoes to
the very root of business depression Al
ready the beneficial effects OF the Wilson
bill are felt throughout the boarder of this

Judge Wilson is one OF the wisest and
most incorruptible statesman in public life
and his defeat would be national calamity.
He should be returned to Congress. His
work is not finished help him. Exert
your power and influence to make him
votes. As a manufacturer you should be
able to Influence people in your community
to support him.
Let your and your friends efforts be un-

fort is being made by the Republicans out.

The Republicans will not carry Pennsyl.

VIM. L. Wilson had a large meeting here
to-day. He arrived at lbs P. m, aud after
hasty dinner proceeded to the Central
Opera House, where fully 1000 people
greeted him with enthusiasm. Ii was some
moments before he could proceed with his
speech, so loud and prolonged were the
cheers. He held the crowd in close atten-
ton for one hour and half.
After his speech he went to the residence
of Judge Z. Boyd Faulkner to rest, and at
p. M was driven to Senator Faulkner's resi-
dence, where he took tea with Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Treasury c. S. Hamlin.
About one hundred and fifty persons, in

$500 Factories Booming.

A report sent to Mayor Hopkins, of Chi
cago, by City Statistician Joseph Greenhut,
states that the industries, are at present run
ming full time and with full complement
of men. The report says the condition of
the industries has been steadily improving
for two months past. 1t says there are in
Chicago $500 manufacturing establish
ments, employing an aggregate of $4,000
persons. sample list of twenty-three
firms, all in different lines of business, shows
the total number of employees to be 2,439,
and Mr. Greenbut says: "This is good
and fair average This indicates that the
returning prosperity is not confined to any
particular lines of business, but is really
general. Within a few weeks | expect to
have another report showing even a better
condition. 1t is improving, aud indications
point to gradual increase in all lines of
business IN y Weekly Witness. This
gives an emphatic denial of the Republican
calamity bowling claim that the new tariff
bill will retard industries. And it empha-
sizes the promise of Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson
that business all throughout this broad land
will feel the revivifying effects of tariff re-
form.
