Two Mer In q Car.

Two men entered Sixth avenue train
at the Fourteenth street station. One
was a man of fifty years or more,
stalwart of frame, but with gray hair,
and dressed in a manner becoming a
man of means. He was man of means
"a man whose name throughout the
civilized world is one that carries with
it thoughts of millions of dollars. Yet
once upon time, in the days when the
gold and the silver mines of America
remained to be discovered and devel-
Oped, that man worked with pick and
shovel as day laborer. In the discov-
cry and development of those mines he
acquired his fortune and his fame.
The man who entered the train
with this gold and silver king was q
fine appearing young fellow of about
twenty-one years "a clerk perhaps.
There was a seat for neither of them.
One was vacated by its occupant at
Eighth street. In manner that indi,
Gated his good breeding, the young man
touched the gold and silver king on the
arm and pointed out to him the vacant
seat in such way as to indicate that il
was his desire that the elder should
take it.
His well meant proffer did not meet
with the ''thank you" that it merited
Instead the gold and silver king first
stared in most insolent and scornful
manner at the young man who had dared
to attract his attention, and then seeing
the vacant seat he jumped for and into
it as though his salvation depended OF

NOVEL POSITION OF AN EX.PRESIDENT.

In his capacity as practicing attor-
ney it became necessary few days ago
for ex-President Harrison to argue a
case in the United States Circuit Court
before Judge Woods. There was one
thing peculiar about the incident ex-
cept the fact that Judge Woods was
appointed to his place on the bench by
Lawyer Harrison. Such happenings
illustrate the mobility of our free in
situations. A man may be President
one day and simple citizen the next;
but whether he be one thing or the
other, his chiefest distinction lies in
the popular sovereignty of which he is
never Invested so long as he shall be-
have himself. -Philadelphia Record.

Destruction of Ants.

The ant is such all instructive creature,

seems almost an act of cruelty to sug-
gest methods for their wholesale destruc.
ton, yet their interference with the cul-
tivator is sometimes so unbearable that
a correspondent is compelled to write to
inquire how to get rid of them. I'm.
doubtedly the best method, if it is not
deemed too cruel, is to cut up meat into
very small particles, saturate with dead.

tirely secure from the reach of othe,

A TEMPLE MADE FROM A SINGLE STONE.

Mayalipmam, India, has seven of the

each of these unique places of worship
having been fashioned from solid gran

A wicked story is told about two part
hers who respected each others business
ability, but who hated each cordially.
To one of them came fairy saying that
he could have any boon he desired, and
whatever he had ispartner should have
in double portion. Naturally his first
wish was for barrel of money. "All
right" said the fairy, but your partner
will get two barrels ON that wish"
stop little, said the first. Perhaps
you'd better not give me barrel of
money. I'd rather you would make me
totally blind in one eye."-New Orleans

Women In Public Offices.

In Sweden more women than men are
found in the telegraph offices, and single
women are admitted to all departments
of the postoffice service except that of
letter carriers. Women have the same
salaries and equal positions in the tele-
graph and postoffices in Norway and
Denmark as men, and in Denmark may
become "station masters" on the rail
way, while they also figure as shorthand
writers in the parliament. We find
them also in public Offices on the most
liberal terms that have been made in Fin
land and Iceland Philadelphia Ledger.

There is great need of device for hold

hats are fastened on with long pin,
which passes through the hat on both
sides and through the folds of the hair
Every time the hat is put on it is pierced
with two new holes, and the best hat is
soon ruined in this way. and three times
out of five the scalp is pricked by the
needle before it goes through the hair,
and after all the trouble the hat is never

HE STICKS TO THE SENATE.

When Senator White was nominated
and confirmed as Justice of the Supreme
Court several days ago, there was n
general rejoicing that the disgraceful
political squabble over the office was
ended. The nomination and the confr-
nation without any delay were both
complimentary. They were not due to
any peculiarly distinguished qualifica-
tions Of the appointee. although his re-
spectability was admitted, but to the
desire that the vacancy. too long exist
ing. should be filled at last.
The seat In the Supreme Court is still
unoccupied. Judge White continues to
fill his seat in the Senate. He remains
there in order to use his efforts and his
vote to put a tax on sugar. In which he
is personally interested.
The State OF Louisiana would not be
injured by Justice Whites immediate re-
tirement. The Governor would appoint
n Democratic successor. But the sena-
torial Justice sticks to the Senate be-
cause he Is anxious to look after his
personal interests before he takes his
place in the highest court In the nation.

and the stuffed elephant got married

picked up crooked stick, don't tell
every one so. II you feel like pair of

is THIS HELP FOR THE POOR,

Mayor McClelland to the Park Board
to demand three hundred labor tickets
for distribution among ;he Alderman Is
Instructive.
President Tappen, OF tn. Park Com.
mission, refused to yield to the Alder
mems request at present. lie admitted
that the tickets had been thus far dis
tributed among district leaders. police
justices and members OF the Legislature.
but the Commissioners had not yet de.
cided whether there would be enough
to so around among the Aldermen.
This Is scandalous admission. II
would not matter through what agencies
the labor tickets were distributed II
only honest. suffering and deserving
workingman were given employment.
But 1t is well known that district leaders.
police justices and members Of the Leg
| islature use the tickets to increase their
| political power and influence. This they
cannot do by giving work TO poor and
honest labor. but by distributing the
tickets among heelers and saloon bum
mers who are busy at election time. 1t IL
notorious that the men set to work by
such patrons are the relatives, friends
and hangers-on of the most useful poll
ticianj of the district, who are not In

have no pull and no political influence
are left to suffer

distinction as the only New York Sena-

favor the consolidation in the Greater
New York OF the cities and territory en-
braced In the Greater New York bill.
This disinclination to trust the people.
or rather this desire to gag them. was

up by bill designed to defeat the prop
osition by providing that to carry the
affirmative vote for consolidation the IA
vorable votes must be clear majority
Of the highest total vote cast for any
candidate in the election.

Mahon 1t was bad enough to attempt
to put n gag In the mouths OF his con-
