Standing by his Party,

Senator Caffrey of Louisiana has no
intention of abandoning the Democratic
party because the sugar planters failed
to get all the protection they want for
sugar He is greatly interested in sugar
plantation property himself, and resides
in the richest sugar parish of the state.
He condemns the bolt of the sugar plan
ters and gives convincing reasons why
they will regret their action. In an inter
view in the New Orleans Picayune, he
says the only hope for the sugar indus
try is in the Democratic party, and that
the sugar planters secession from that
party is calculated to work irreparable
damage to the sugar industry.
What he means, doubtless, is that if
the sugar interests Join the Republican
party the way will be open for the demo-
Gratis at the approaching session to put
sugar on the free list. The republicans
put sugar on the free list when they en-
acted the Mckinley tariff, and gave the
sugar producers a bounty. 1t is certain.
however, that a bounty will never again
be made part of the revenue policy of
the government. Hence, the sugar pro-
uuCeIs nave uoIhlug 10 expect from the
Republican party. The Democratic
party, however, believes in a tariff for
revenue, and it can consistently keep
duty on sugar for revenue purposes. And
it will do that probably if the sugar
planters do not pursue their present pol
icy Of putting their dependence in the
Republican party.
The chances are that provision will be
made at the next session of congress for
the payment of the bounty on sugar for
the present year. There is a good deal Of
Justice in the claim that it should be paid.
Whether or not it will be paid, however.
depends greatly upon whether the sugar
planters continue their alliance with the
Republican party.

a populist watching every box as they

Mrs. Stevenson presided at the recent
convention of the Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution. The wife of the vice
president has evidently never opened the
covers of her husbands authorities on
parliamentary order. But she was not
blind to her own defects, so she supplied
them quite easily by engaging as adviser
q mild hammered man, who neverthe.
less knew all about Overruling and
quashing and laying on the table. This
man sat at Mrs. Stevenson's elbow, told
her what to do next in all cases and scut.
tied a number of ships in the shape OF
resolutions offered by adventurous
Daughters.
The first little incident of this sort was
when a motion was offered by distin.
guished looking woman from the Mount
Vernon chapter. Mrs. Stevenson was
standing at the time, and without wait.
ing for any discussion asked the yeas and
nays and got them, too, before the little
man or any one else had chance tG
draw long breath. Immediately there
was storm of opposition. Then the
mild parliamentarian whispered some.
thing to Mrs. Stevenson. She pounded
in ladylike manner with her pretty
gavel and said:
1.-THE question before the congress, la.
dies, is the resolution. We can do one
of two things with it. We can either
we can either what?" she blandly and
frankly asked turning to the blushing
parliamentarian.
1t was so openly done that it brought
down the house. Mrs Stevenson laughed
the little man laughed, everybody laugh
ed, and order was not restored for sew
eral minutes. Then they laid the reso
luton on the table and went gayly OF
about their business.-New York Sun.

AN uNLucKY pEPuTATIoN.


The Villagers Followed the Lead Of tbs
Mayor with Ludicrous Consequences.
On one occasion, while on a Journey
through Italy, the pope halted at a small
village. th4inhabitants Of which resolved
10 SEMI some of their principal men as
deputation to his holiness. The mayor,
who was to head the deputation, pro-
posed to present him with some of the
chief produce of the country, consisting
of pineapples, figs and cream. 1t was
accordingly arranged that each member
should carry some figs and cream in sill
yer basins, the pineapples, however, be-
ing dispensed with.
Before setting out the mayor thus adj
dressed his followers: LAS you do not
know very well how to conduct your.
selves before exalted personages, you
must watch me closely and do as do"
The procession was formed, with the
mayor stalking maiestically in front,
furnished, like his followers, with ba-
sin of figs in his left hand and another
of cream in his right. There was a step
down into the room, but the mayor fail
ed to notice it. He stumbled, and the
shock sent his face and beard into the
cream basin. Trying to recover himself,
he only made matters worse, for he fell
upon his knees, with his hands and basin
under him, and his creamed face raised
imploringly to the holy father.
The members of the deputation, think.
ing that this was the proper ceremony tc
observe in the presence of such a distin-
guished parsonage, dipped their boards
in the cream, threw away their vessels
and bent down on their knees, at the
same time casting half inquiring and
confident look at their leader, as if they
meant to say: You see we are all right.
We have carefully followed your exam
pie"
The pope was at first astonished, but
soon burst into fit of the most bolster
Gus laughter, while the attendants,
thinking that the deputation had come
to mock theirmaster, began pelting them
with the saturated figs.
The mayor hobbled out of the room,
closely followed by his brethren, one of
whom whispered to him:
elbow lucky it is for us that we did
not bring the pineapples How nicely
our heads would have been battered by
them!"-London Million.

A MODEST PARsoN.
He Could Not he Induced to Live In Fine
aud ROomy House.

He Could Not he Induced To Live In a Fine
aud Roomy House.
Arecent item in reference to the Rev.
John Brown, who has been pastor Of q
Presbyterian church in Fall River,
Mass, for 20 years, and who will re-
sign June /, sell his library, buy a tent
and preach the gospel when and bow
he pleases, renders timely statement
of the reasons leading to this resigna-
ton.
The congregation of the Rev. John
Brown are deeply grieved at his depar-
ture. The trouble arose through their
devotion to him and their desire to pro.
mote his comfort.
The parsonage had long been an eye
sore to the stylish and well to do people
of the church. 1t was tiny house, and
the pastors possessions had so far out
grown it that his boollshelves lined even
the halls and stairways. Still the pastor
would not move nor permit his people
to enlarge his house. Finally a wealthy
member of the church, who had built a
large and beautiful home and then
wearied of it, presented his home to the
parish, and now the parishioners insist
ed that their loved pastor should live
there. The result was that he resigned.
He gave his explanation ON the day he
presented his resignation.
''From my youth up have had an
aversion to large houses. | like to be
within touching distance Of my family.
1 like a sense of fullness, of safety, in
house. Nothing gives me such pleas
ure as that my books must wander for
resting place through all the rooms,
and that the plants must crowd each
other from the conservatory and bloom
in every window"
Then he related part of his life be-
fore unmentioned.
While he was still in his teens his
father died. Reverses overlook the fam
lily, and finally the children decided to
divide the family property and response
bilities. Two things came to him, his
mother and his mothers bedstead. The

adjustable ornamental extension which

his early struggles, when his income
was very limited, he had longed to live
in some small, comfortable cottage But
his mother refused. She had only one
argument.
''Think Of the bedstead, my son. You
know could never put the top piece on
the headboard in that tiny house. "
The mothers whims must be humor-
ed. So all thought Of comfort was aban-
doned and some rambling, spacious house
was chosen, suited to the bodstead, Of

Novel Railway Device.

Successful use appears to be made Of
the novel automatic device lately in
troduced on some of the German rail
ways for ascertaining and definitely in
dicating defects existing in the track.
The principle of the apparatus, as ex-
planned, is based on the fact that every
low point or other similar defect on
the line of the track causes a shock of
greater or less intensity in car passing
over it. The arrangement of the appa-
ratus in the inspection car is such that,
If the shock exceeds a certain degree of
intensity, a squirting device is brought
into operation, and from which either
red or blue liquid Is sprayed over the
roadbed, making stripes from l foot to
feet long and about 2 inches wide
the track sections requiring any atten-
ton being thus very plainly marked.
Such an apparatus, it is said, locates
defects not ordinarily detected by a
track walker and affords early and time
ly evidence of imperfections in the road
bed.-New York Sun.

Live pigeon shooting from traps will
never become generally popular in this
country, because it is doubtful if there
is any form of so called "sport" which
offers SO little amusement for so large a
price. 1t is cheaper to keep q saddle
horse and a pair of trotters the year
round than to indulge in pigeon shoot
ing to any great extent. The well known
pigeon clubs in the vicinity of New
York sell birds to their members for So
cents apiece, and besides this cost the
sportsmen must pay for his cartridges,
fee the men who manipulate the traps
and provide himself with refreshments.
If bets are made-and there are many
who seek to recoup themselves in this
way-the expense is likely to be much
greater. In England and on the CONT
nent there are a great many men who are
said to make good living out of pigeon
shooting by means of bets made on the
matches in which they take part them
selves, but here such means of exist
ence would be looked upon as preca-
rious to say the least.
The birds arc supplied to the club
members at about their original cost,
but q certain profit is made through
their natural increase as well as by the
sale of the dead birds at 81. 20 a dozen
and by the returning Of those pigeons
which escape unhurt to the barn from
which they came. The number of pi-
geons killed during a brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity of New
York is very arge.-New York Sun.
