HE GOT THE QUARTER.

Ride That Proved Quite Expensive for
the Driver of the Stage.
DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, a well-known
scientist Of the Quaker city, told q
Philadelphia Record man nm amusing
story of a scene witnessed in New
York the other day while riding in
Fifth avenue stage. "a Indy gave the
driver coin," said Mr.. Dixon, "and
received change for twenty five cents.
She informed the driver that she had
given him fifty cents, but the jehu
wouldn't have 1t that way, and the
woman had simply to lose twenty-five
cents. A moment or two later, how
ever. well-dressed, highly respectable
looking male passenger, with q rather
pallid face and physique by no means
athletic looking, rendered the lady Q
quarter and said he had seen the whole
transaction and knew she was being
swindled. III get 1t back, said he;

the woman was induced to take the
money, and shortly afterward she and
ell the other passengers except myself
and the man who had produced the
cash left the bus. When we arrived
at the end Of the line the stranger
walked up to the driver, and, In court
eous, but drm tones, said: y saw that
lady gavc you half dollar give her
the quarter and want you TO give II

"A volley OF oaths was the only an
swer, which, however, was cut short by
. well-directed blow from the fist Of
the passenger and the driver went
down. He got up with another shower
OF profanity and made for his assail-
ant, but promptly went down again,
the blow this time landing full on the
jaw. When the driver got up the SEQ
ond time he gave up the quarter. But
the passenger wasn't through yet.

A MlLo.sPsAklNo MAN.

How Abner Jennings Expressed His DIS.
approval of Improper Conduct.
.Abner Jennings was never known to
say harsh thing to or about anyone,
says the Youths Companion. His form
of speech was invariably mild. and ex-
aggeruted statements were viewed by
him as almost as reprehensible as lies.
Once, in the spring Of the year, when
the Blueville roads were in q fearful
condition Of mud and mire, the team
of o travelling merchant" was stalled
a short distance from Mr.. jennings
house. The old man at once brought
out his oxen and went to the peddler's
assistance.
Tho team could not be instantly re-
leased even with the aid Of q yoke OF
oxen. and the peddler, who was man
of high temper and little self-controi,
proceeded to vent his rage In language
which first amazed and then disgusted
the cquable Mr.. Jennings. He bore II
as long as he thought was necessary
and proper, md then unhitched HIS
oxen and went calmly home.

One day he caught some boys rob.

spocchlcss disapprobation.
"Eoys," he said at last. giving the
culprits the sternest glance of which
he was capable, "boys, think you've

After administering that stirring re-
bulse he turned on his heels and walked
slowly away 10 the barn, and never 70

= THAT HeADSTRONG BOY.

The English Government Has withdrawn
Its Threat to Spank the Khediye.
The boy who is the khedive of Egypt
has taken it back and said he didn't mean
it, and so the English government has
withdrawn its threat to spank him. The
incident has much aggravated the Egyp-
tian situation locally, but has improved
the British position before the other
powers. The exhibition of headstrong
stupidity by the modern pharaoh serves
as an abundant excuse for England to
continue the protectorate until the lad
develops ordinary discretion. The first
suspicion that the khedive was prompt
ed by European mischief makers to in
suit his unwelcome British guests is no
longer held in view of the utter folly of
his outbreak.
The matter is regarded merely as an
other proof Of the incompetence of the
youngster for serious responsibilities.
The government accounts agree that his
renewed display of hostility toward the
English will make the task Of British
supervision exceedingly difficult and may
lead to serious native outbreaks.
The khedive's silly conduct and the
sad death of Sir Gerald Portal have up
set an admirable diplomatic arrange
ment. 1t had been decided that Lord
Cromer should go to st. Petersburg, and
that Sir Gerald Portal should succeed
him at Cairo. The government was
only awaiting Sir Gerald's restoration to
health to carry the angeme into
effect.-London Letter.

Dempsey's Sparring Partner Didn't Give
Notice of His Intended Star Play.
Jack Dempsey, ''the Nonpareil.' the
winner of 81 prize fights, who finally
succumbed to Fitzsimmons. is engaged
with a theatrical company to give spar
ring exhibitions. His partner is Denny
Costigan. They are warm friends.
Costigan recently was introduced to
some ladies and was anxious to make a
good impression. He invited them to the
theater, purchased q box in which he
placed them and eonlilentially told them
to watch him give Dempsey IA friendly
t%rouncing.
Dempsey was surprised at Costigan's
unusual yigortha night and was pleased
at the prospect Of giving Il lively bout.

The bottle holder smiled and answered.
"Yes. He told those ladies in the box

Costigan recoiled at the first blow from
Dempsey.

whispered Dempsey. and he banged Co.'S

gan, and Dempsey's fist collided with
Costigan's nose.
Work it up" said Dempsey, and he
rushed Costigan all owe the stage,
punching right and left. Costigan was
driven near the box. The eyes of his
lady friends were upon him, and he re-
sponded, but Dempsey grinned and hit
out more savagely than ever and wound
up the bout by bac!, heeling Costigan
and sending him to the ground with a
thud.

The Reconciliation In Germany.

Only in Paris has there been any at
tempt to attach a sinister meaning to the
reconciliation between the kaiser and
Prince Bismarck. ALI Germany ex-
pressed unfeigned delight yer the happy
reunion, and the rest of Europe looked
on with sympathetic interest and APP
proval. Jealous Frenchmen pretend to
see in the event the first step toward
winning away their new found Russian
friends. They argue also that the en-
peror is unwilling to enter the impend-
ing war without the support of the Iron
Chancellor. Bismarck's friends in Eng
land see no other significance in the Incl
dent than a worthy desire on the part of
the young emperor not to allow the man
to whom he owes his throne to go down
to his grave unreconciled Paris Letter.

His Mouth Growing In.

A very singular case is that of a young
mar of this county named Chandler.
For years his mouth has shown a tend
ency to grow up. Four years ago it be-
came so small it was feared he would
s~tarve, and IA fund was raised by neigh
bors, and he was sent to Chicago, where
the mouth was cut to the natural size
and pieces of flesh grated into the cor
ners, thus hoping to prevent the closing.
This has been overcome, and his mouth
is rapidly growing up again, the opening
at present not being larger than an or
binary goose quill, through which he
takes all his nourishment. 1t is thought
that he must eventually starve to death,
as there seems no way of preventing the
complete closing of the mouth. 9th
erwise the young man seems healthy
and is capable of doing considerable
work.-Black River Falls (Wis.) Letter
in Minneapolis Journal.

THE ANTWER EXPOSITION.
The American Building win DO Given an
Unusually Prominent Place.

Unusually Prominent Place.
The Antwerp international exposition
of 1894, "under the high patronage of
Leopold II, the king of the Belgians,"
will be i~naugurated May 8, with the fan
fare and trappings of royalty.
When the visitor to the exposition on
the banks of the 'lazy Scheldt" passes
into the grand entrance on the Place
Public next summer, one of the most
striking pictures to greet his eye will be
the facade of the American building. 1t
will be one of the NEST beautiful and
%pretentious pieces of architecture on the
grounds. Facing the grand entrance
from an advantageous position on the
right, its site is regarded as the most
prominent one ever accorded a foreign
country at an exposition.
The building will be a modern renais-
sance in style. $40 by $50 feet. 1t will be
constructed of steel, iron and glass,
after the fashion of the exhibit buildings
at the Columbian exposition, and in
teriorly it will be arranged to serve as
an exhibition hall. There will be club
house features to the building, but the
main feature will be its arrangement for
the display of American manufactures
that may find a market abroad.
The Antwerp international exposition
will continue from May 8 to Nov. 10. 1t
will be general in its scope, and, COM
pared with previous foreign expositions,
of commanding proportions. 1t will oc-
cupy about 200 acres of ground in the
new quarter of the city beside the river

A curious lawsuit has just been con
cluded at Brussels. A widow named
Moeus died intestate, leaving a large
fortune. A dispute at once began among
her relatives, and a lawsuit to settle the
various claims was instituted. At the
trial it was proved that no fewer than
$500 persons were related to the testa-
trix. Judgment has been pronounced
in their favor-that is, in favor OF rela-
tives even twelve degrees removed, =

CAUSE FOR
The Chinese Minister at Washington Weeps
and Walls Over a Gas Bill.

The Chinese Minister at Washington Weeps
and Walls over a Gas liili.
The Chinese legation has always been
an object Of curiosity in Washington,
and the mysterious goings on in the ia
nous old Stewart castle. which the Ce-
lestials used TO inllabit, were a never
failing ourceo of wonder aud speculation.
Now that the legation has a magnificent
triple house for its home out on the
heights the interest in the inhabitants is
still further increased. The Chinese min
lister is new to Washington, and his ig-
norance of some of it's ways was the
cause of a very peculiar complication the
other day.
The monthly bills of the Washington
Gas Light company are printed on paper
of a peculiarly dirty yellow tint, which
happens to be the exact hue of the Chi
nese emblems of mourning. The long
strips are left regularly at the doors of
all houses in the city and at the Chinese
legation among the rest. The other day
one was left for the first time at the new
homeof the legation, which is filled with
new Chinese servants. The gas bill strip
was left in the vestibule. and being car
ried to the new minister profoundly af-
fected him. 1t was evidently intended,
he thought, as a notification of some
body's death, and as it was left at the
legation door it doubtless indicated the
bereavement of some family high in Off
cial life.
The minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instruments
of mourning were brought out, the shut
tiers were drawn, and passersby for the
remainder of the evening were RECALLED
with a combination of curious noises
such as the Chinese only know how to
utter when engaged in bewailing the
dead, and the minister retired with the
satisfaction of knowing that he had per-
formed a diplomatic courtesy.-Cor. Bos-
ton Advertiser.

Mr.. Collins is no stranger. He
has been here for years, built up a
large business, and has always
been one of the first to join in
any movement for the benefit of
the city or for her people. He
asks no favors. He simply asks
that he be protected in the enjoy
ment of property that he has right
ly acquired, as any citizen has the
right to do, and in so doing is
willing to eXpend money and make
land donation, that, while it may
improve his property, improves
the public river and does public
service. This question should be
