According to Law.

The prisoner before the wild and woolly western court hadn't much Of 0 chance and no friends but young law yer from the east, out there to win his spurs, undertook the case for the glory there might be in it, and the first thing he did was to demand jury trial
 LAW, come of, remonstrated the judge.
 "Your honor," said the young man, with great dignity, II demand in the name of the constitutional right of ev- cry citizen of this great and glorious country that my client here be tried before jury of his peers. ''He can't git it, '' said the judge, al- most overcome by this oratorical out burst r..s. 1T demand it, your honor,l" insisted the young advocate. -...5 .... ''D'you say jury of his peers?'' in- quired the judge, as if about to relent.
 '.Yes, your honor." .-.. Well, now, look a-here, young fell .er, decided the judge, fer half 8 cent I'd fine you fer contemp'. D'you think we'd stand dozen more like him in this community? If you do, you hadn't better say so. Perceed with yer argu- ment.' And the mandate of the court was obeyed. Detroit Free Press.

Queer s.aass..

One day, says Henry Bacon fin his book on contemporary French art, when was coming up the Champs Elysees . cab with the green blind down attract cd my attention. It showed that some ono was paying 2 francs an hour for the privilege of remaining stationary as long as he might choose to do SO. Pres ently up went the curtain, and there ap- pearcd the head of Jean Beraud. the artist
 At his invitation put my head into the miniature studio to see his last pio- ture Ills canvas was perched upon the seat in front, his color box beside him. and with the curtain down on one side to keep out tho reflection and to hide himself from tho prying eyes of passcrs- by he could paint ut ease through the opposite window view of the avenue asa background to n group of figures

No6ined ta Appear a Witness st the
 Strike eInv~stixaties-
 CHICAGO Aug 2I.-The strike com missioners have notified George NJ. Pull man to appear and testify and will also call for several members of the General Managers association. The date for MT. Pullman's testimony has not yet boon set, but 1t Is expected that he will appear Tuesday or Wednesday.
 President Debs of the American Rail- way union was examined at some length and made an interesting witness.
 In reply to a question Mr. Dcbs said that the union had taken every possib means to prevent rioting and disorder. We objected to the presence of the fed eral troops, but not to state troops and police. If remember rightly, no serious outbreak occurred until the federal troops arrived, as their presence inaames the men" that tho railroads were responsible for the strike because they insisted on hanl- Ing Pullman carst'
 No, sir. The American Railway un. ion was responsible for 1t, but under az. gravating circumstances. The general managers arc united to reduce wages. The employees arc united to resist such rcductions In case of a reduction that leads to strike we think tho company Is responsihlo."
 "Do you believe in government owner. ship of railroadsf'
 Yes, sir. believe the government ownership of railroads is decidedly better than railroad ownership of the govern ment." .....= ........
 There was the heartiest of laughter and applause nt the epigran, and It was some time before quiet was restored.
 In conclusion tho witness said he be- lieved tho American Railway union was stronger numerically and every other way than 1t had ever been

She Paid George.

They sat cozily side by side at the the ater enjoying to the top of their bent the miserable fate of Desdemona, and dear George told her that he would nev- CT be jealous of her-no, not if she should give away 1, 900 pocket handker- chiefs, and then they had squeezed each others hands under her lace wrap, and they were happy as happy can be. Dear George" bought her a box of bonbons and then ate them all up, for no man was ever SO much in love az to be shy in the matter of eating.
 By and by it came to the end of the third act, and after looking very rest less and wretched George said fondly, "You won't mind, dear, will you, if I just step out into the vestibule to stretch my legs bit, wilFyou?'
 If George had had half an eye he would have seen that she did mind very much. No woman likes to be left alone in theater, but she only said coolly, "Oh, not in the least, if you care to go." So George crawled over the laps of half a dozen ladies, treading on their toes, scratching their chins with his watch chain and brushing the bloom off their laces and evening attire. She waited about five minutes, and then, swiftly bundling her wrap around her, and with her pretty face scarlet with indignation and embarrassment, she brayely left the theater and went home.
 And it served George right.-New Orleans Picayune

ENGAGED TO A PRINCE.
PullmAn's Daughter Is to Marry Into the
 Royal House of Austria


 Royal House of Austria
 LONDON, Aug. 21.-The engagement of Miss Florence Pullman, daughter of George M. Pullman, to the Prince of Isen- burg Birstein, the oldest son of Prince Charles of IsenburR Birstcin and the Archduohess Marie Louise of Austria and a cousin of the emperor of Austria, Is am nounced,
 Miss Pullman's father only consented to his daughters engagement to the prince on condition that her children shall possess the full rights of succession to the title dignities and hereditary privi- leges of the house of Isenburg- Birstein.
 According to the Austrian law, how- ever, the magnates of the house of Isen- burg Birstein must by formal document recognize the equality of Mir. Pullman's grandchildren with their own descend ants. If Miss Pullman could obtain the title of princess from some foreign court, this difficulty would be overcome.
 CHICAGO, Aug 22.-George Nj. Pull man denies the report of the engagement of his daughter Florence to the Prince of Isenberg- Birstien. Mir. Pullman refused to discuss the matter simply saying in re- sponse to ques ion, "I deny 1t"

Engiand.s women's Work Exhibition.

A scheme is afoot for holding an i'm perial exhibition of women's work in London in 1897 or 1898. It is receiving very influential support, and there is every reason to believe that the queen will consent to become a patroness, and most of the ladies of the British royal family and court will serve on the ex- ecutive committee. For the purposes of this exhibition the United States will be considered as part of the British empire, and it is expected that the American women's exhibits will be a great feature of the show. The Countess of Aberdeen, of course, is one of the the leaders of this interesting move ment. t.-London Correspondent.

There never lived a painter who her hnea- ments could trace. ..E The verse was never uttered that could tell their peerless grace. always dream of flowers when look upon her face.
 No lily bud Is sweeter,
 No rose so pink and white.
 The birds must pipe in meter
 To sing my hearts delight. Her locks are like the sunbeams that the sum- mer fairy weaves. Her voice recalls the music of the wind among the sheaves. Her footsteps fall like rose leaves beneath my cottage caves.
 There Is spell about her.
 Her beauty haunts my sight
 I could not live without her,
 My lissom hearts delight. The balm of spring is on her lips; there's sum- mer in her smile. -..a Her gentle glance reveals a heart that never knew vile, . And yet the dimple on her cheek a hermit would beguile.
 May fortune e'er smile o'er her. I'd die for her tonight.

It was December. Snow had fallen some days before, then rain, followed by 8 day or two of unseasonably warm weather. The country roads, tramped by troops of drilling cavalry and plowed by teams and loaded wagons, were all slush, water and very tenacious, deep mud ....
 Straight to this abominable highway Tom marched Company I. Directly into the middle of the road, where the mud was thickest and the water deepest, the boys wheeled in obedience to his stern command. Then, as unconcernedly as though on the most perfect parade ground in the world, he issued his or ders: ......... #...
 By company, into platoonsl Left in to line, wheeli On right, by file into liner' and through all the evolutionsI
 At one moment Company I charged bayonets down that fearful road at dou- ble quick, at another wheeled in circle through slush, while Tom noted defects and corrected them as nonchalantly as though on a grassy lawn.
 For a full houf and half. long after recall had sounded, without halt or rest, Tom maneuvered that weary company.
 At last, wet, weary and half exhaust ed, the mud bedraggled company was led to quarters by it's memorable com mander. Throughout that remarkable drill the only words Tom uttered that indicated the state of his feelings were spoken as he gave the command of dis missal
 Company, right facep' he ordered. Arms aport When you fellows would like to defy discipline again, let me know Break ranks, marcht'
 And so ended the proceeding, which was known as From Crandall s march as long as Company was an organiza- tion. ".".
 In the days which followed the boys of Company came to know their order ly sergeant better and learned to respect and appreciate his military qualities, for if his literal interpretation of orders sometimes tended to their inconven- fence it oftener led to their comfort and we'll being, and in more instances than one to the preservation of some ot their lives.
 Poor Tom sleeps today in the silent camping ground, and many of his old companions are with him, but with each returning spring the floral emblems of his surviving comrades are laid upon his grave as tenderly as though that gro tesque march, of which he was the hero. had never been.-George H. Hosea in Youths Companion.

situation In Fan River.

FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 21.-An the mills in town that were running last week started up in spite of the vote of the Weav- ers' association to take vacation, but ao- cording to the reports received only about Is, 900 of the 50, 900 looms in the city are running. The Wampanoag mills started with 100 looms and then shut down en- tirely.
 The Fall River iron works have not rs- duoed wages and are running with full force. The Laurel Lake and Robeson mills are running everything except their looms -.
 It Is reported that the Globe yarn mills will not reduce wages. It Is the general belief here that the weavers' vacation will become general and that all the mills will be forced to shut down or that the vaoa- ton will end in week.
 The executive committee of the Spin ners' association held very exciting meeting. The spinners in the yarn mills In particular feel that the manufacturers are not keeping faith with them. Though no definite agreement was made, the spin ners in those mills understood that no change was to be made In their wages until the outcome of the spinners' strike in New Bedford was known. Now 1t Is proposed to reduce, though not the full 10 per cent. .a
 A strong sentiment was shown In favor of striking. Delegations were present from each mill or corporation, and each delegation had 6 spokeman, who reoited the grievances In their respective mills
 The spinners assert that there is an un- derstanding among the yarn manufactur- CTS to cut to rate equal to the wages to be paid by the New Bedford mills that made concessions Monday.
 A regular meeting of the executive committee will be held tonight, and a special general meeting has been voted for next Monday night It was the opin- ion of the committee that the action ac- cepting the reduction will De reconsidered at the meeting Monday night. The vote will then be on the question of strike. Many of the spinners have been accused by the weavers who are out of doing ''knobstick" work and they arc irritated. Wampanoag and Stafford mills shut down, and Flint, Sagamore, Weetanore and several others are expected not to start up today
