The LEGEND of ST. Banrne.

Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually
visit st. Baumc, in Provence, not far
from Marseilles, in France, where
Mary Magdalene is said to have spent
the last thirty years of her life. The
legend, according to the Nouvelle Re-
vue, runs that Mary Magdalene came
from Judea in q small boat with Laz-
arus, Martha, the two Marys and Sa-
lone, bringing with them the body of
st. Anne, the head of st. James the
Less and few wee bones of the inno-
cents massacred by King Herod.
The Government of the Larger Haciendas
of the South.
A great cotton hacienda in Mexico is
strongly built, with walls like those of
fort; the tops of the walls are often
studded thicl1ly with broken glass of
jagged and deadly appearance; for
further protection, companies of sol
diers are kept within the establish
ment.
A hacienda of this type, whether de-
voted to the manufacture of sugar or
cotton, the raising of cattle, or mining
of silver, is a complete little state.
with every appliance for luxury and
security. 1t contains within its walls
hundreds of poems, soldiers, barracks,
n chapel, houses for the laborers,
apartments for the owner and his fam
lily, and every necessary of life for
man and beast.
The administrator, or general man
ager, is the father of tie great family;
he decides all disputes arising between
the various members of It, and if he is
only ordinarily just, never finds his
authority disputed but is looked up
to with much respect and consulted
by the poems in all family matters.
A gentleman who was for some years
of an estate in the state
IF Coahuila told me that while occupy
ng this position he conceived high
opinion of the simplicity, honesty and
of the Mexican labor
,r. In most of the haciendas the ma
,hinery is of most primitive kind,
modern improvements being used only
n the largest establishments.

LONG-DIsTANcE TELEPHONY.

AstonfshinrIy Successful Experiments BE-
tween New York and ChicagO-A Giant
Rival for the Bell Monopoly-An Au-
tomato System Doing Away with "Cen-
trul."
New YORK, Feb 11.-Tests of a new
magnetic telephone were made between
New York and Chicago last evening in
the presence of representatives of the
Western Telephone Construction Co.
and officials of the several telegraph
and telephone companies. Connection
was made with the Chicago long-dis-
lance line through Wall-street off ce,
and an Office in the Monadnock block,
Chicago, at which latter point a large
number of pers ons interested in the
telephone situation were assembled.
The present Bell telephone and the
new magnetic telephone were used al.
ternately and the results were aston
ishingly in favor of the latter. The
instruments of the new telephone
showed remarkable clearness in talk
ing. A number of experts in tele-
phony who were present pronounced
the results obtained from the magnetic
instrument to be highly satisfactory
and prophecied that it would displace
the old form entirely.
The new magnetic telephone is con.
trolled by the Western Telephone Con-
structioh Co., Chicago. which was
started in opposition to the Bell COM
pany year ago, and has already ct
tanned giant proportions. This com.
pany is at present putting in tele-
phones in a number of western cities,
including Racine, Oshkosh, Sheboygan
and Madison, Wis; Albert Lea, Mimi;
Benford, Ind. and has had telephone
exchange in operation at La Porte,
Ind, for the past year.
The exchange apparatus of the new
telephone involves a new principle of
operation, being automatic, SO that the
central office operating service is done
away with. Each telephone user, by
the touch of button automatically
connects his line with any other line
in the system without calling up Cen.
trail.
The president of the new company,
Mr.. J. E. Keelyn, has closed arrange
ments for the extensive use of these
telephones by some large telegraph
companies.

THE AMERICAN POOR.
Respect Should Be Shown the Pride of O.
Unemployed.


Unemployed.
They are the most perpleXing of
| creatures to do anything for. They
| are apt to resent any and every at
| tempt to help them, even in the most
guarded way. as if it were an insult.
| The consciousness that they are ex-
| tremely poor, that their income is COM
pletely cut off impels them to act as
they would not if they were in posses
sion of handsome Independence.
Their pride being sensitive to morbid
ness during their penury, all sorts of
shifts are required not to wound it.
| Repeated endeavors to alleviate their
Indulgence have miscarried, even when
made with great tact, discernment,
and delicacy.
There is no such general devotion to
charity, it is superfluous to say. as
| will induce the adoption of various eX-
pedients that needy though stubborn
people may be prevailed on to take 1t.
Hence the difficulty of helping Ameri-
cans. Many generous persons who
| try to assist them meet with
| such rebuffs, or with SO emphatic de-
| NAL of their needs, that they release
their intentions. Others get angry,
and frankly assert that persons who
decline aid freely rendered forfeit all
right to it. Doubtless the unemployed
Americans here are hard to manage,
and frequently very provoking. But
| he who understands their CT uel circum-
stances, and sympathizes with sensi-
bility, will respect and honor them for
| the inconsistent behavior. Contuma-
| cious pride may often be high virtue.
It is very hard to tell how these
American men can be approached; how
| their secret can be wrung from them;
how they can be brought to admit their
distress. But their kind, their &C.
quaintances. their friends, should
charge themselves with this duty.
Where these know that they have lost
situations. been Invested of income or
earnings by the great commercial up
heaval, they will have their cue to act,
and sympathy will direct them.
Recently 1 heard case in point. A
young married couple, with two small
chiidren-they were New Yorkers-re-
moved in July from a small apartment
to an inferior one in mean quarter.
The man had been in receipt of small
salary as bOOkkeeper, and was per-
mitted to resign to reduce expenses.
An old acquaintance learned the fact
last month, visited them, and discov-
| cred their sadly altered state. He of
fered them money. They said they
| did not want it. He insisted and ques-
| toned until the poor bookkeeper was
SO wrought upon that he broke down
completely, bursting into a flood of
| tears. When an American man weeps,
| it is Of deep significance.
The sequel proved that he had sought
for another situation daily to no pur-
pose, that he had parted in silence with
nearly everything pawnable, and been
driven to bay. He had been sought out
! and relieved On the eve of madness or
| suicide.
This instance must be one of many.

A Curious Recognition.

Among the curiosities in the museum

gorgeously embroidered in the Stars

the Union Jack, the two united by a
golden chain 1t had drifted thither,
and had been for several years en-
sconced in its glass case, when postal
exhibit was begged from the depart
ment for church fair, and for the
first time Jumbo went out for an air
ing. It so happened that a lady from
New Hampshire was visiting Washing
ton at the time and went to the fair.
To the surprise of her friends, she
greeted Jumbo as long.lost
friend. Ten years before she had
made him and sent him to her
daughter in England, who had
married man named Linlx-hence the
design of the two flags linked together.
But she did not claim her possession,
and SO he has never made his journey
across the ocean.-St. Nicholas.

did not speak here last night nor ala

Att o'clock last night DIR. Porter,
local physician, positively forbade Mr.;
Wilson to leave his room. his physlcai
condition was such, the doctor said, TO
venture out would be exceedingly
dangerous.
Mr.. Wilson, accompanied by his VIE
and Youngest daughter and Congress
man John C. Tarsney, arrived at the
Union depot over the Santa Fe ral-
way from Chicago at o'clock yester-
day morning. Mr.. Wilson was quite
sick. and it was against his physicians
advice that he made the journey to
this city. .,
Immediately after breakfast Mr.. VIII
son went to bed, where he remained
until noon From to o'clock yes
terdav afternoon he held reception
at the Coates hotel. There were many
callers.
Mr.. Wilson is enthusiastic over the
passage of his bill. He predicts that
great benefits will result from its en-
actment into law. He says every
congressional district in West Virginia
will be democratic after the next cleo
ton. The Wilson bill will pass the
senate by a comfortable majority, he
thinks. He is not SO sanguine con-
corning the passage of the income tax
measure He expects considerable OPP
position to it in the senate and so
will not venture to prophecy its fate.
If enacted it will help out the
estimated deficiency in the revenue OF
10000, 600 to be caused by the passage
of the Wilson bill, to the extent of $780,
100000, but Mr.. Wilson does not con-

claims that his bill will in a short
time supply sufficient revenue.

Unfortunate St. Clair County.

More judgments were rendered in
the federal court at Kansas City the
other day against unfortunate ST. Clair
county.
There are still standing against St. Clair
county unsatisfied judgments amounting to
nearly a750.0o0, incurred on bonds issued for the
building of the Tebo s. Neosho paper railroad.
The judgments rendered the other day were
simply the revival of the old judgments which
were liable to be outlawed by the lapse OF
time, and it is evident that the holders Of the
bonds issued for a railroad which never
built do not intend to release their grasp until
the county makes satisfactory compromise
It is claimed that the plan which is being fol-
lowed to secure payment Of the bonds is to
keep the members of the county court il Jail
and starve the county into submission.
