 This Day.
scotch-Erisia Ameraeaus,

DEs MONIES, IA, .fune7.-Ehe sixth { anuai congress Of the Scotch-irish !. Deiety of America will be held in :. aia city from today to June 10. Not m Etiy members of the society, but all U cOtch-Irish people and their descend
 nts throughout the country and the
 ,cal opulation without regard to
 ationAlity have been cordially in-
 tied to attend and participate in
 he exercises, which will all be of q opular character. The addresses
 welcome will be delivered by
 rank D. Jackson, Governor Of pwa, and Col. John Scott, President 1.-the State society.
 The objects of thesoeiety arepurely Historical and social. It is entirely ion-seetarian and non-partisan.
 Organized five years ago, it has steadily grown in numb0is and in duence until it is now one of the most powerful organizations of its kind in existence. Perhaps no other Organization of its size in this eoun try has 8 more distinguished and in- nuential membership. 1t has been Weleomed to the respective states in which 1t was met by the highest official authorities, and it assemblies Eere upon the invitation of the highest officers and strongest organi- xationa in Iowa.
 AS tine prestige of the society in- creases with it's age, each succeeding congress is an improvement on those thai have gone before, and the meet ing at Des Moines is therefore ex- pected to be the most successful 3ul gathering of the race yet held. The only requisites for membership are Scotch-Irish blood in any degree, good character and nominal dues with which are furnished free the valuable historical works issued by the society.

BAD IF TRUE.
Business About po Be Blocked On the
 Cotton Belt

We are informed that all through freight trains will be pulled of the Cotton Belt and the heprobability is that the locals will run only every other day foran indefinite time.
 It is also reported that Nos. 3 and 1 passenger trains will be pulled off. It seems that it is not the lack of busi- ness that is causing this trouble, but the scarcity of coal. Stamps, a lumber station south on the Cotton Belt, has an order for 300 cars and cannot get them.
 All this is very bad, if true. We are feeling the effects of unsettled and unsatisfactory business in the East
 We trust the road will be able te avert the trouble.

PERSONAL.

On every Christmas Lord Rothschild
gives to every policeman of London a
a briarwood pipe and an ounce of tobacco.
A writer in the Springfield Union says
that Senator Brice got his start in life in a
rather interesting way. After he left col
lege he studied law but he didn't get on
very we'll, and he went to Charlie Foster,
then governor of Ohio, and asked if some
thing in the way of an office couldn't be
found for him. Impossible" said the
governor. "You are a Democrat and am
Republican. 1t would cause no end of
talk If were to give you place, with SO
many Republicans wanting Offices" But
Brice was In straits and he begged so ear
hcstly for some help by which he might
sxtricnte himself that Foster finally placed
a sum Of money in his hands and told him
to come to New York and look after GER
tain financial transaction His last in
junction to the young man was to follow
instructions. When he got here Brice
made inquiries first and then acted di-
rectly contrary to what he had been told,
tclcgraphing forthwith what he had done.
Foster wired Indignantly for the reason
The reply was: Because I could make
$40, 600 for you" There was no question
beyond that, and thenceforth Foster and
Brice worked in harmony in various rail
road operations, the latter giving up his
idea Of a legal career for the more lucra-
tive one of railroad builder and promoter.

this was n pleasant experience, but Havi
land kept right on plotting, and in course
of time got berth on an East river ferry
boat. These are considered pretty snug
berths, and all Havilands friends were
surprised when few months after he got
the place he gave 1t up.

The Practical. Joker Got Shock.

The sportive young man who enjoys
playing tricks had shock the other day.
He had just come down the elevated stairs
at Park place and had started In the di
rection of City Hall park when his face
lighted up with pleasant smile. 1t was
evident that he saw some one he knew,
and that he saw some fun ahead. He be-
gan to walk rapidly, and as he hurried
along it could be seen that the person he
knew was a young woman, for he kept his
eye on her, watching her carefully as she
slipped In and out of the crowd, and all
tho while his smile grew broader and his
eyes twinkled more merrily. !.
Finally, when he was only few feet
behind her, he began to walk on tiptoe.
Then he stole quietly up to her and laid
his hand on her shoulder.
"Booh!' he said in her ear, and the next
instant he wished that he hadn't, for a
young woman looked at him with eyes
that were at first startled, but which then
flashed indignation.
'How dare you?' she gasped, but be-
fore she could say another word he broke
In with an apology.
II beg your pardon" he said, stammer-
ing, Il made a mistake-I thought knew
you'll thought you were somebody else. "
His confusion was so great and he look
cd SO much the fool that no one could
doubt that he was telling tho truth, but
the young lady accepted his apology with
a pale smile, as if she thought he were a
lunatic, SO that he bowed his head and
dived into the crowd, the most crestfallen
joker in New York.-New York Tribune.

affect Mr.. Walker in the least. What he
deemed necessary to the success of The
Cosmopolitan he accepted. He believed
his Judgment to be as good as Howells'.
This was the first rift in the lutte be-
tween the famous author and the famous
editor. 1t was not over three months after
this little episode that Howells resigned
his desk and devoted his time to "A Trav
eler From A!truria. AS assistant of
Walker he was drawing ST., 500. AS a
writer he now draws $4,000. Another
thing that caused Howells to resign was
the hours. He was compelled to get down
to the office at o'clock and remain until
in the afternoon. This, he averred, in
terfercd greatly with his own work. The
literary writer's and editors of New York
call Howelis the fat woman" because he
is SO fussy.-Syracuse Post.

In his trial before the Federal Court in
San Francisco, Gen. Ezeta, the refugee
from Salvado, gave the impression of being
a forceful man but unfortunately for his
cause, the appearance ofbeing extremely pas
sionate and cruel. When his gaze fell upon
the consul who had brought him to trial
he could not refrain from making an exhi-
btion of malignant passion. Should Ezeta
meet the fate that now threatens him he
will suffer less than he has caused others if
reports be but half true.

fun with the western papers and with the
labor leaders, who seem to think the
United States commissioner of labor ought
not to be deadhead. There was certainly
no evidence of Partially in the examina-
ton Of witnesses by Mr.. Wright and his
associate commissioners, and there is no
reason to expect any Partially in their re-
port; and yet it would have been better
not to travel as Mr.. Pullman's guest.
But Carroll y. Wright is thrifty person.
He is probably the highest paid civil Off
Ger, except the president, in the service of
the United States. He is commissioner Of
labor, with salary of 5000 year; super
intendent Of the census, at $1,000 year,
and chairman of the special commission
on the Chicago strike at sos day-say
1860 per annum-and expenses. There is
unquestionably room for the suggestion
that out of this accumulation of salaries
Mr.. Wright could afford to pay his own
way. Sitting as a judge in the case Of
Debs against Pullman, his attitude does
become a little embarrassing when the
pass comes into yiew.-[P Philadelphia
