A Postman's First Attempt.

A route is given TO you. and just
about this time it begins to dawn upon
you that perhaps you could not cover
the route in half the time the regular
man did, and before you got half block
away you got mixed up because you
couldn't work your papers in with your
letters, to say nothing of several small
packages in your bag. You found your
self chasing up and down the street,
and in order to make up the time you
were losing you began to plunge, and
the more you plunged the more you got
mixed up and the hotter you got, and
once, when you stood still looking for a
number, little boy asked you whom
you were looking for. Dreadful, WASH I

And when you got back an hour or so
behind the regular mans time you

when you were told that it was the
easiest. And owing to your inability to
make time you had. to double Up with
your partner, so that you worked all
day long, from before sunrise until long
after sunset. You got no lunch except a
few mouthfuls you grabbed in passing
from free lunch counter, and when
you got home you were 30 tired, so hun

day at the business that you would have
resigned forthwith, but, aye! there was
the rub.-Postal Record.

Chinese visiting Cards 900 Years Ago

Chinese Visiting Cards 1000 Years Ago.
The Chinese. who seem to have known
most of our new ideas, used visiting
cards 1000 years ago, but their cards
were very large, and not really the pro-
totypes of our visiting cards, as they
were on soft paper and tied with rib
bon. Venice seems to have been the
first city in Europe to Use cards. Some
dating from the latter part of the six
teenth century are preserved in mu-
scum there. The German cities fol-
lowed the Venetian custom in 100 years
or so, then London followed suit-ac-
tually followed suit, for the first visit
ing cards in Great Britain were play
ing cards, or parts of sucb cards, bear
ing the name of the bestower on the
back. They We're first used in England
about 1900. Wedo not know when they
We're first used in this country, probably
not long after their first introduction
into British society.-St. Louis Globe

Mexico, the land of Montezuma,
prickly pears, sand, volcanoes, etc., has
many subtropical wonders, both in
vegetable and animal life. Among these
latter is species of spider SO minute

The Typical American.

The typical Americans have all been
western men, with the exception, let MS
say, of Washington. Washington had
not had much of European culture. The
qualities that made him great COM
mander and great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton or Madison
or Livingston or John Adams or the
Pinckneys living tolerably on the from
tier. They are not Americans in the
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge, more culti-
waited appreciation of the value of what
was old and established, juster view
of foreign nations and foreign politics;
that they had been more like Webster
and less like Jackson, and we may hope
will be wiser and better poised. But in
the meantime the past is to be under
stood and estimated as the facts stand,
and only thoroughly sympathetic com
prehension of these men, who have actu-
ally been the typical Americans, will
enable us TO effect that purpose. The
fact that Clay rather than Webster,
Jackson and not John Quincy Adams,
represented the forces which were really
predominant and distinctively Amer.
icnn in our development is commentary
enough on any theory that makes either
of the peculiar sections of the Atlantic
seaboard the principal or only theater
OF American history.

SUSPICIOUS of the Governor.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 24.-Martial law
will not be declared. Gov. Mitchell
has seen great light. For fear that
the governor might not stand BY the
declaration that martial law would not
be declared, several members OF the
city council held q quiet conference
this evening and after thoroughly can
vassing the situation decided that Gov
ernor Mitchell should not be allowed to
usurp the police functions of the city
without reason. They argue that in
view of today's decision there was no
warrant for the governor to procee
further and that the only action he
could properly take now would be to
send the troops home. They have de-
cided to have call issued in the reg
ular manner for a special aession Of the
entire city council at an early hour to-
morrow morning to consider the ex-
traordinary situation.
The Associated Press representative
was informed that resolutions would be
presented setting forth the threatened

The Internal Revenue Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The full ways
and means committee voted to to
report the internal revenue bill includ-
ing the income tax.
The success of the income tax men in
finally getting the bin out of the COM
mittee was reached after sharp con-
test. At first the Republicans refused
to vote. Three Democrats, Cochran,
Stevens and Bynum, also refused to
vote. This broke the quorum and the
income tag men were powerless. Then
Reed came to the rescue and said that
if another roll call was taken the Re-
publicans would vote to make quorum.
but not to favor the report.
The roll call gave 10 votes, or more
than quorum. Cochran and Stevens
still refused to vote, but the quorum
was made without them. Then a mo-
tion was put on reporting the bill to
the house. This prevailed by the fol-
lowing vote: Ayes, Wilson, McMillin,
Bynum, Whiting, Breckenridge, Tars-
ney. Montgomery, Bryan, Turner, 8, all
Democrats. Nays, Reed, Burrows, Dal-
zep, Payne, Hopkins, Republicans;
Cochran and Stevens, Democrats
Total, 7.
A noticeable feature of the vote wai
the action of Wilson, Breckenridge and
| Bynum in voting to report the bill.

The IRON CHANCELLOR,
Return of Prince Bismarck tC

More Than Imperial Honors to Be
ShoWered Upon the Maker of

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 24.-It ID announced
that Prince Bismarck will arrive at
Berlin at noon on Friday next. He will
alight at the Hanoverian railroad sta.
tion where he will be received with
great pomp. The route thence will be
through the Brandenburg Gate along
Unterden Linden to the imperial castle.
Special trains will be run to Berlin on
Friday and Saturday and most Of the
cities of southern Germany will be
decorated for the occasion.
Berlin will be thoroughly decorated
and brilliantly illuminated at night.
Students have announced their inten-
tion of turning out enmasse and windows
along the route leading to the castle
from the railroad depot are being hir-
ed at the highest prices. The different
municipal bodies and many Berlin So
cieties are preparing to do honor to the
chancellor who on the way to the
castle will be surrounded by the mill
tary.
The entry of Bismarck into Berlin
after SO long an absence promises te
draw immense crowds to this city ano

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 24.-The amend
ments to the iron schedule were over
whelmingly defeated and iron ore re-
mains upon the free list. The re-
mainder of the afternoon was spent in
a discussion of amendments looking to
the free admission Of machinery used
in the manufacture of cotton goods.
Just before the house adjourned the
advocates and opponents of the income
tax on the Democratic side were ar
rayed against each other. the latter at.
tempting to prevent McMillin from
reading the internal revenue bill to the
house. The publicans, however,
joined hands with the income takers
and defeated the small band of Demo
Gratis who have pledged themselves to
use every effort to prevent an internal
revenue bill containing an income tax
from being placed on the Wilson bill as
a rider. Wilson, chairman of the COM
mittee, who is in sympathy with them,
allowed the debate on Robbins motion
to run on without interruption, it was
said, for the express purpose of con-
suming time, SO that the committed S
amendments which he has to offer will,
when he again takes the floor, will ex-
haust the time for debate until Saturday
night and thus shut out the possibility
of the internal revenue bill being Of
fered as an amendment to the Wilson
bill. A great deal of bitter feeling ex-
lists, however, and should such a pro-
gram be followed it would unquestion-
ably lead to charges of bad faith.

A Desperate Fight.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 24-The militia
which had been brought here to sup
press the fight will very probably at
tend it. special rates of $40 each haying
been made for it.
Mitchell ie in bis room at the Everett
hotel and Corbett is expected at the st.
James at very late hour. All obsta-
clss to the fight have been removed s1d
there seems at present absolutely moth
ing to prevent it.
Late trains have brought in hundreds
of sporting men who tonight are
througlng the streets and packing the
hotels to overHowing. The betting to-
night is more strongly in favor OF Cor
bett than at any time yet. Both men
are said to be in the very pink OF con-
dition and both have declared that to-
morrow they will make the fight of
their lives. The bitter feeling between
them has been intensified of late and
the fight will be desperate one.

Didn'tLike Her Style.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 24.-There was
an exciting scene at the Grand opera
house tonight during concert given by
the Iowa State band. As an additional
feature Miss Effie Stewart. well known
in the east, was advertised to sing.
The big opera house was filled with
people and when Miss Stewart
commenced her song it did not
take the audience very long to
decide that they did not like her style.
The crowd guyed her numerically and
became SO boisterous that she had to
leave the stage. The band, however,
was greatly appreciated and enthusi-
astically applauded. Miss Stewart says
her unkind reception is due to San
Francisco's jealousy Of eastern talent.
She says she was suffering from cold.

still further increase the deficiency by
an income tax. He desired to announce
that be would vote against any bill in
cooperating an income tax.
At thes conclusion Of Sickle speech
the first open struggle over the income
tax was precipitated and momentary
flash showed the depth of feeling in the
Democratic ranks on the subject and
portended fierce conflict which will
ensue when it comes up ior copsidera-
ton. Wilson moved that the COM
mittse rise and his motion was agreed
to, Crisp resuming IN the chair. Nc
Millin holding the internal revenue
bill containing the income tax feature
above his head, was loudly clammoring
for recognition, while the opponents to
the income tax, including Cochran,
Tracy, Cummings, lockwood and 9th.
ers OF the New York delegation were as
earnestly appealing for the speakers g
eve. Above the din and confusion Nc
Millin demanded recognition to pre-
sent privileged report. The oppo-
nents of the income tax wanted to ad-
journ and the speaker WAS forced to
recognize Lockwood who made the
motion.
The Republicans with the Demo.
Gratis .favoring the income tax voted
against tho proposition to adjourn and
the opponents of the income tax were
hopelessly beaten. If they could hold
the fort, however. for only three min
utes the house under special order
would have recess at $50. Quickly
Cochran demanded division upon the
motion and with rapidity the speaker
counted the mem bers who rose for anC
against the motion, announcing that il
was lost by Is to SO. The New Yorl
men still had one more arrow in theil
quiver. Cochran demanded the yea
and nays. He could only muster 6fteer
supporters, however, not sufficient tt

made the announcement it Lacked
twenty seconds of the time for tn
house to recess and in that time, amid
a roar of applause, McMilin reported

The advocates of the income tax were
victorious and ten seconds later tn
house took recess till O'Clock.
