Only One Could Do It.

"Last Sunday" said the clergyman to his congregation, "somo one put button in the collection bag I won't mention names. will merely say that only one individual in the congregation could have done so and will expect the same mem- Der after the service to replace the button with coin of the realm"
 After church q well to do but close listed individual sought m interview with the clergyman in the vestry.
 'I-er,' he began hesitatingly, "must apologize for the-er-button incident, which can assure you was an accident. I happened to have the button in my, waistcoat pocket, together with a shilling, and took out the former by mistake. How ever, sir, here Is the shilling"
 ''Thank you," said the clergyman, talk. ing the shilling and gravely handing him the button.
 By the bye, sir" said tho man, "Ican- not understand how you should have known that it was 1 who--er--committe the---er-much to be regretted mistake. !"
 1T didn't know, replied the clergyman.
 Didn't knowi But you said sir, that only ono individual in the congregation could have dono so. .''
 Just so. You sec. sir, it is scarcely possible that two individuals could have put one button in the bag, is it now?" said the clergyman, with bland smile.
 It was so much easier for tho button contributor to say 'good day" than to an- swer this puzzling question that he made his bow at once.-Christian Advocate.

The Great Palace.

According to Bishop Liutprand of Gre mona, in his account of his embassy to the court of Nicephorus Phocas, the gold en chamber of Constantinople was tho most splendid part of the whole palace. If Justin rebuilt it, Thcophilus and Con- stantine VII did much for it's decoration. Theophilus made a silver table flor the accommodation of the guests and tho adornment of the palace," in which so many foreigners and courtiers feasted with tho emperor. A great chandelier hung from the center of the hall over the table
 The famous golden tree, so often men, tioned in accounts of the palace was con structed by Theophilus. Birds sitting on the branches sung by some mechanism, the air being supplied by concealed pas sages." The walls were ornamented with mirrors and colored tiles, "affording tho more pleasure to the guests owing to the delicious nature of the viands" Besides making the silver doors-into tho Tripe- ton--Constantine VII ornamcnted the walls and ceiling of tho Chrysotriklinos with flowers and leaves, framed in silver circles
 In the golden chamber the most strik- ing object must have been the Pentapyr- zion, of which unluckily no accurate de- scription has survived. It was "e mag nificent structure of wood covered with gold. Within and without it was hung great variety of decorations, golden or naments and the imperial robes" At the feast of Easter it was the custom that a small table should be placed for the em- peror in the Pentapyrgion, while the for eign ambassadors whom he invited dined at the golden table below him. Thus it would seem to havc been sort of throne arranged for the purposes of n dining hall. -GcOtficb Roviaw

A Good Subject For Debate at Chautauqua

Good Subject For Debate at Chautauqua. s The county jail at Mayville Chautau- qua county, N Y., is said by the Buffalo Courier to be the 'foulest jail on the American continent" It was built in
 1883 and is a brick structure 56 by 32 feet. A wooden annex of two stories is
 80 by 33 feet The size of the cells is 2 feet 10 inches by about feet. Two win dows on each side of tho jail furnish the only ventilation. A veteran of the war says that with the recollection of an expe- rience in Libby prison he believes that the air is much worse in the Chautauqua jail
 A judge of tho supreme court recently re- marked, 'Every time prisoner is brought from tho jail into the court for trial tho whole atmosphere of the courtroom be- comes impregnated with tho fetid odor of the prison" During December, January and February of tho past winter 2S8 per sons were confined in tho jail-244 wero vagrants and A were charged with crime
 This would give an average of about 15 to each cell and tho corridor adjacent de- signed for not more than four. There arc no facilities for bathing whatever. Tramps covered with vernin and persons afflicted with disease arc all thrust into the crowd ed cells, subjccting others to the danger of infection.

U. A. WOODBURY. NJ. Nj. ESTEE
 result was roar of laughter, in which tho nominee and committee joined and which seemed to please the speaker as much as any one else. He rebegan his speech and made a vcgy brilliant address. This pecul- iarity seems to be constitutional and is the basis of any number of funny stories told about him in California and Oregon.
 Mir. Estee is a native of Pennsylvania and moved to California a good many years ago, He has been very successful as lawyer and farmer and owns fine vine- yard in Napa county. In the law he makes speciality of railroad and corpora tion practice and is the author of legal work known as "Estoe's Pleadings," which has added materially to his profess sional reputation.
 Captain Urban Andrian Woodbury, who was nominated for governor by the Re- publicans of Vermont on the same day MT. Estee was chosen in California, was born in Acworth, N. H., 56 years ago. His parents removed to Vermont when he was years old, and Urban was educated at the Peoples academy of Morrisville and was graduated at tho medical department of the University of Vermont in 1859.
 Woodbury served through tho war as captain of Company D, Eleventh Vermont volunteers, and lost his right arm at Bull Run. After tho war ho settled in Bur- lington and engaged in the lumber busi- ness, in which he is still interested. He has been m alderman and mayor of Bur. lington, and in 1888 was elected lieuten. ant governor of the state. Captain Wood bury is u prominent Mason and also belongs to the Odd Fellows, G. A. R., the Loyal legion, tho Sons of the American Revolution and the Knights of Pythias.

A PAIR OF CANDIDATES.
Republican Gubernatorial Nominees In
 California and Vermont.

California and Vermont.
 Morris M. Estee, the Republican candi- date for governor of California, was first brought prominently before the country when he was selected as presiding officer of the national convention of his party at Chicago in.1SS8. Ho had been very prom incnt in California politics for years and had been speaker of the legislature and twice an unsuccessful candidate for gov ernor.
 Though fluent speaker in the court room, MT Estce has a singular knack of saying tho wrong thing in the right place everywhere else. When he called at In- danapolis to apprise President Elect Har- rison of the action of the convention, he is reported to have said
 When the convention began it's pro ceedings, you were unthought of and your name unheard '
 His fellow committeeman were thunder struck, and one of them nudged Estee, who paused, smiled and said, No, l did not mean that so I'll start again" The

KING OF COREA ARRESTED.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Up to close of of- fec hours the state department was without any formal notice of declaration of war between China and Japan, and, so far as could be learned. the only telegrams bear dispatch from Captain Day of the Balti- more, announcing that the Japanese held the Corean king captive, and tftat he had landed marines to protect the United States legation at Seoul. This capital is distant about twenty-five miles from Chemulpe, where the Baltimore lies, and as there is only narrow footpath and no railroad the marines must have marched the distance. ANOTHER WARSHIP FIRED UPON.
 YOKOHAMA, July 27.-Comnaunication between Japan and Corea is interrupted, but it Is rumored here in semi-official cir cles that Japanese warship has fired upon Chinese warship at Kalsan, upon receiv- Ing hostile provocation.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Not Likely that the Pullman Boycott VIII
Affect Virginia.

Some uneasiness Is felt here lest the
big Pullman boycott will have some effect
on the Virginia railroads. Superintendent
Edwards. of the Pullman Car Service,
said that as yet he had experienced no
difficulty. and was running his cars as
usual. He could not say as yet whether
the tie-up would affect his division. and
he was not In position TO predict the
result OF the trouble on Virginia roads.
Mr.. James Dreamer. editor of the Jour
nal Of international Machinists. was seen
yesterday. and said that he did not know
as yet what local effect the lock-ou
would have. The membership of Vir-
gnia operatives" said he, "in the Amer
lean Railway Union Is, | think. quite
small. and hence it is not likely that the
trouble will assume any serious phase
here, unless the operatives respond to
the call from the Railway Union to CO.
operate in the movement. The Union is
making vigorous calls for outsiders to
sympathize with them. and n is barely
possible that this may have some effect,
though can't speak for certain on that
point. In Cincinnati the Pullman Com
pany has repair shops, and the men there
might combine against the Chesapeake
and Ohio. which extends to the Queen
City. Wilmington, Delaware | think will
soon be included in the line Of eastern
cities which are being affected but
hardly think Richmond. or, indeed. Vir-
ginia will be troubled in a direct way,
unless the non-unon operatives take q
hand in the strike"
