A Remarkable Servant.

married, has literary man for hus-

buXom German girl, who proved her.

deep interest in the affairs of the young
couple. OF course, she saw the husband
around the house a good deal; but her
mistress was not prepared for the fol-
lowing:
"Osgcuse me, Mrs. Blank, but like

"Well, Renal"
The girl blushed, fumbled her apron,

FACTS AND FUN.
A Crank at the Capital.
From Kate Fields Washington

A well-dressed unknown man, speak
ing good English, walked into an office
a few days ago and asked the occupant
whether it was true that Grover Cleve-
land had gone fishing.

"Gone fishing at this time?' ex-
claimed the man with increasing indig-
nation.
eyes; why shouldn't he?''
"Why shouldn't he? And you ask
that question? You who are supposed
to be a friend of the people! What right
has he to go fishing when millions
want work? Nero fiddled while Rome
burned"
After delivering himself of this dis
tribe, the unknown vanished as sud-
denly as he had appeared.

ner, there will not be quite so much
thought of Sunday dress as now; but
who knows? AT this moment there is
considerable attention given by the
ladies to their cycle dresses. We have
seen various styles in our large cities,
but there is nothing so modest and
pretty as a simple attire usually worn
by women in taking long walks. There
is no reason for initiating the Zouave,
and wearing baggy trousers as some do.
There is nothing becoming or attractive
in such dress, and to most observers it
is simply hideous, and would certainly
be ruled out of church. We shall watch
with interest the outcome of the appeal
for cycle sheds and hope if built that
many man, and woman too, out for
the Sunday morning "spin' will be
tempted to go to church. A distance
of five miles would be as nothing to
the cyclist, and he would have a wor-
thy motive in riding.
The business men of New York are
up in arms over the proposed income
tax Incorporated in the poor, sick tariff
bill, which is still being batted around
the senate chamber At an enthusias-
tic ma ss-meeting held recently at Car
negie hall, an earnest protest was made
againstit. Democrats and Republicans
alike were there to join forces to upset
this particular and very obnoxious part
of the tariff program. The call for the
meeting was signed by the representa-
tives of fifty-one insurance companies,
of sixteen savings banks, fourteen trust
companies, eighty-four of the largest
grocery houses. Among the signers
were the names of some of the best
financiers of the country, men known
throughout the land as able, patriotic
and farseeing citizens. This protest
should carry some weight in Washing
ton but will it? We fear not. Nothing
of the kind goes with the Democratic
majority, bent upon playing with dan
gerous edged tools. There is, however,
a possibility that some one may come
to grief, for accidents will happen. BY
the way, whose hands are in the sugar?
Not Mcpherson of New Jersey, for,
surely he is too conscientious, and be-
sides he has no grip for such a COM
modify. The New York Mail and
Express speaks feelingly of him, and
quite to the point when it says: "That

He admitted before the Sc nate investi-
cation committee that after he had
purchased thousand shares of Sugar
Trust and transferred them to his son,
While the sugar schedule was pending
before his committee, he thought he
would purchase 500 additional shares
and wrote telegraphic order to his
brokers to that effect. Then it sudden
ly occurred to the Senator and his son
that it might be improper for him to
invest in sugar certificates, and they
decided not to send the telegram. A
careless servant, however, picked it up
from the table and sent it on the fol-
lowing morning. AS soon as the New
Jersey Senator learned of this sad mis-
take he Immediately ordered the stock

addressed a circular to the road conf

urging that an organiza ion be effected
in each county for the study and mu-
tual discussion of the best methods and
materials for building good roads. Such
an organization would do much to has
ten the era of goJd roads which is so
much to be desired, and the suggestion
cannot be adopted too quickly.

WAYSIDE TALK.

AT last the "drummers" are to have
a "rest." This is truth; for in Bing-
hamton N. Y, there is to be built
beautiful edifice, a home for the aged or
unfortunate commercial man. The
people of Binghamton give a $4,000
lot and S15, 900 besides. The main cost
of the building will be borne by the
drummers and their friends, the busi-,
ness men with whom they come in
contract. There is no class of men who
see more of the ups and downs Of life
then the commercial traveller, or whose
patience is more tried in business. In
addition to being constantly on the
road, he must be keen salesman, and
good business man. He occupies a
very important position in the trading
world, and we are heartily glad that a
suitable home is to be provided for such
of the fraternity who became disabled
and fall out by the way. We have met
the drummer in our journeyings, and
know him from a personal point of
view as well as in business, and we like
him. He reads nature well, is inter-
esting as story teller, and fully APP
preciates kindness. We have found
him gentleman and a shrewd observer
of affairs in general. Now, he erects
home for the unfortunate. tits COM

be followed by other business men.
Local train service on the Southern
New Jersey railroads is just now If
regular, to say the least. The reason
for this is that it is "berry season. "
Cars for berries are attached to passen-
ger trains and every station contributes
to the freight. No one expects to "get
there on time and it is hardly worth
while to feel in hurry. The consumer
in New England should be able to buy
New Jersey strawberries at a reasonable
price this year for there is every pros
pect of an enormous yield. Rain has
been plentiful, and as soon as there are
a few hot days for ripening the fruit
shipments to the New York and Bos-
ton markets will become very heavy.
Whether passenger trains will then be
given entirely up to freighting pur-
poses is a serious question to the un-
fortunate traveller; but if so, we can
only hope that New England consum-
ers of Strawberries will be benefited
thereby. We understand that the
grower gets from four to five cents q
quart for berries delivered at the sta
tlOn ana tnaI many poor man feailZeS
from $50 to 500 from his "patch." So
we will not complain of the strawberry
passenger trains, for they eventually
reach their destination and besides
"kicking".i is bad business any way.
A New Jersey minister advocates
building bicycle sheds near his church

inclined to use wheels on the Sabbath,
claiming that there is just as much

THE KILLING OF RIoRDAN.

The lovers of the "manly art" will fad
TODD for reflection in the dsgraceful exhi-
bilion which ended in the death of Rierdan
as the result of blow delivered by his an
tagonist, Fitzsimmons. A sparrlng match
between professional prize fighters is not
only demoralizing to those who witness it,
but just in the degree that it is an actual test
10 that extent it is dangerous and brutal,
and, therefore, proper subject for suppress
sion by the police authorities. There is moth
ing to prevent two men from meeting to
gether in private and battering one another
MS long and as brutally as they may see fit,
but when the savage encounter is conducted
as public entertainment the law should be
invoked TO put d stop to it.
Fitzsimmons and his friends are proiuse
with explanations and excuses, but they az.
gravate rather sthan mitigate his conduct
He stouty denies that the blow which sent
his antagonist to the a)or in dazed and
dying condition was anything heavier than
u mere slap, but aware that such statement
was wholly at variance with the suggestion
that there was even a semblance of honesty
in the encounter, he is forced to set up the
plea that Riordan was nothing but a phys
ical wreck aud liable to fall dead at any time
when engaged at fisticuts. II this be true
Fitzsimmons should have been ashamed to
have appeared with him upon the stage, and
is all the more responsible for having caused
his death. Ii he knew Riordau was not iii

cause his physical strength had been wasted
through dissipation, there was nothing man
ly in engaging him in combat in the arena.
Indeed, this explanation is virtual comics :
sion that the disparity of strength and vigor
between the two men was So great that the
death Of the weaker was quite within the
range of probability. But the facts adduced at
the inquest and from the autopsy prove that
RiUrdan was not the wreck he has been rep
resented and that the blow inflicted upon
the jaw was powerful enough to have pro.
duced conclusion Of the brain.
Under the criminal code OF New York
Fitzsimmons has been held to answer a
charge of manslaughter in the first degree,
and the facts will be fully discussed at the
trial. The obvious lesson from this incident
is that all exhibitions tending to encourage
and popularize prize fighting are essentially
demoralizing and ought TO be suppressed.
