Police Mandate Disobeyed.

Marshal Browne halted the procession
there in the street, walked back to Coxey's
carriage, the general kissed his wife, and
then the two moving spirits of the affair,
Browne swinging aloft a small banner,
forced their way over the plaza to the
Capitol steps, their men, acting under
orders, standing i'll their tracks. After
Coxey and Browne pressed "a yelling
crowd of men.
Trampling and tearing its way through
the costly shru bbery the mob went, while
squad of mounted police which had
headed the parade, dazed a moment by
the unexpected move, dashed recklessly
into their midst. Coxey was confronted
by the police as he took off his hat to
speak on the steps. and his demand for
his constitutional rights, as he called it,
being refused, thrust upon them
printed protest which proved to be we'll
worded eptome of populistic doctrines.
Meanwhile Carl Browne was being lit
orally dragged by the collar of his coat
through the crowd toward the nearest
station, after he had made fight to re-
tain his banner. The mild hammered
Coxey, without violence, was thrust back
across several hundred feet of humanity
to his carriage. Mounted police were
forcing their horses among the people,
several of them cracking their clubs over
the heads of the nearest persons; women
were shrieking with terror, men yelling
fiercely; some were being knocked down
and trampled upon.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The first of May

army into Washington and made his at

The attempt it is needless to say, met
with repulse AS result of their efforts,

ment, is as we'll as ever.
The army is now encamped within Tie
city and it's members are wondering
what is to come next. AS an excitement
producer and crowd drawer the pageant
was a pronounced success. But in no
other way.
The performance which was enacted
within the shadow of the Capitol is with
out a counterpart in the memory of
Washingtonians. Over the broad, smooth
plaza of the several acres of the east front
of the Capitol was packed a crowd of
men and women mum bering at least 10,-

Capitol offices. Detectives were sprinkled

of lawless characters gave just grounds
for apprehensions of trouble, apart from
the presence of the Coxeyites

A Man Who Conversed With Them as
Ill., Far Back as 1857.
In 1857 Jules Richard had occasion
to visit a sick friend in a hospital,
where he made the acquaintance of
an old official. of an institution from
the south of France who was exceed
ingly fond of animals. He claimed
also to be perfectly familiar with the
Languages of cats and dogs and TO
speak the language of apes even
better than the apes themselves.
Jules Richard received this state
ment with an incredulous smile,
whereupon the old man, whose pride
was evidently touched by such skep-
ticism, invited him to come the next
morning to the geological garden. A..
l met him at the appointed time
and place, says Mr. Richard, and we
went together to the monkeys cage,
where he leaned to the outer railing
and began to. utter succession of
gutteral sounds, which alphabetical
signs are scarcely able to represent
--...Kirru, kirruklu, kirriklu"-
resented with slight variations and
differences of accumulation. In a
few minutes the whole community OF
monkeys, a dozen in number, assem-
bled and sat in rows before him,
with their hands clasped in their
laps Or resting on their knees, laugh
ing, gesticulating, and answering;
The conversation continued for full
quarter of IAN hour to the intense
delight of the monkeys, who took a
Lively part in it. AS their interloc-
utor was about to go away they all
became intensely excited, climbing
up the balustrade and uttering
cries of laurentation. When he fin
%ally departed and disappeared more
sand more from their view they ran
np to the,t of the cage and, cling
ing to thejfrieze, made motions as IL
zthey were bidding him good-by.

Headache Powders.

The habit of taking '.headache>
powders is increasing to an alarm
ing extent among a great number of:
women throughout the country.
These powders, as their name indi-
Gates, are claimed by the manufac-
turers to be positive and speedy
cure for any form of headache. In
many cases their chief ingredient is:
morphine, opium, cocaine or some,
other equally injurious drug having
a tendency to deaden pain. The,
habit of taking them is easily formed,
but almost impossible to shake of.
Women usually commence taking
them to relieve raging headache
and, finding it successful, soon re-
sort to the powder to alleviate any
little pain or ache they may be SUBJ
jected to, and finally, like the NOR
phine or opium fend, get into the
habit of taking them regularly.
Imagining that they are in pain if
they happen to miss their regular
dose.

lNDIA'S REPTILES.

The Country Is Infested With Big and
E ...f Dangerous Creatures.
''Probably no country in the world
contains more reptiles of every kind
than India" remarked Captain l. E.

man. "Among the largest and most
dangerous of these is the python.

making our way through the Jungle
we were star tied at hearing savage

we hastily climbed to place Of
safety amid the branches of a neigh

too soon, for in an instant a magnifi-

bushes, roaring terribly and flashing
his sides with his tail as he glaredr
around in search of his enemies. In
another moment a huge python
darted forth from some place of con-
cealment and before the tiger had q
chance to escape had encircled it in
its fold. The act was done with the
rapidity of lightning. AS the snake

a LOVE STORY.
An Oft-Repeated scene in an Old World

An Oft-Repeated scene In an Old World
Garden.
An old world garden, so peaceful,
quiet and still, where the roses nod
their heads in the summer breeze,
whispering round them the secrets
of the high, overhanging trees, bring
ing them, too, the music of the tiny
foun tain blithely dancing in the sun.
light while rejecting back their
brightness in thousand pearly
tints, and singing sweetly all the
live-long day to the ripping brook
vending far away through the mead
ows beyond, to lose itself amid wav-
ing fields of corn, cleaning like
yellow gold in the valley below
On the close-cropped grass plat,
ringed over and over, where the
fairies hold their court or it's green
carpet night after night, stands an
old moss-covered sun-dial, marking
off the hours, keeping steady pace
with the march of time. How MANY
love tales could that old dial tell;
the same sweet story had been
poured out SO often by it's stones
that it must know it all-the signs
and tears, the sweet love whispers,
the hot, swift words that sprang so
quickly from the parted lips, the
faltering answer so low as to hardly
break the stiffness as the seconds
pass under the shadows of the dial's
facs. ..
A young man, strong and straight
as an Apollo, kneeling by it's wealth
er-beaten stones, is pouring out his
love story to a dainty maiden so
small and fragile that almost the
fairies might claim her for their
own. There is delicate rose flush
under the tender skin of the maiden's
face, while her eyes are shaded from
sight under long dropping lashes,
and the sweet lips are poutlngly
curved as her little hands push back
the roses he offers her so tenderlv
Her blue eyes cloud a moment as she
turns away her dainty head.
''Then you don't love me any more,
Mignon? And plucked these pref
ty roses all for you, and these wild
flowers to Irvine in your hair and
crown you queen, my queen, my lit
tie queen, Mignon." A tender thrill
runs through the young mans voice.
'<Mignon, am [ to go away? Don't
you want my love any more? Isyour
love like the roses and wild flowers,
rs quickly dying, Mignon?" His
face comes closer to hers, and one
arm steals gently around the tiny
waist. "Mignon," his pleading voice
goes on, ':you love me; you're only
making believe not to-"
Does a dimple steal into the maid
ems cheek and the eyes shyly glance
at the brave fellow kneeling at hel
feet in all the glorious strength Of
his young manhood? The tiny arms
are clasped tightly around his neck,
her dainty cheek close presses his
and in a whisper sweet and low,
while the seconds pass under the
shadow on the old dials face, comes
the answer he sawaits-s'I does 'ove

Civil Cases May Be SO Decided In Most
European Countries.
In Scotland, since 1854, It has been
provided that III civil cases. after
six hours deliberation, verdict of
three-fourths may be taken. And in
British India the code of criminal
procedure of 1882 makes a similar
provision, and goes even SO far as to
declare that after due deiberation
the opinion of six concurred in by
the judge, shall prevail In most
countries of Europe trial by jury is
used only in criminal cases, and in
France, italy and Germany simple
majority is sufficient There is
nothing in the reason of the thing,
nor in the experience of civilized
nations, to justify American persis-
tence in this rule, says Frank Leslie's
Weekly.
The constitutions of three of our
states provide that in civil action,
three-fourths of a jury may render a
verdict; these are California, Nevada
and Texas. In Texas it provides
that the same rule shall apply to
criminal cases below the grade of
felony. In Connecticut the law pro-
vides that a legal verdict may be rem
dered.by any number not less than
nine in civil cases, where the parties
shall agree to it in writing before the
rendition of the verdict. In New
Jersey, in 1882, the house of assem- bly,
passed a bill providing for similar
verdicts in civil cases, but it failed
to become a law. But this seems to
be the extent to which the efforts to
change the rule of unanimity have
reached. As long ago as 1869 ex-
Governor Koerner, of Illinois, made
this suggestions: IA verdict returned
within six hours should be unani-
nous and signed by every jury man;
after that time and within six hours
thereafter a verdict signed by eleven
jurors may .~be given; after twelve
hours, and within six hours there
after one signed by ten; after
eighteen hours and within six hours
thereafter one signed by nine. and
after twenty-four hours one signed by
eight may be given. i H..

QUEER EFFECT OF "a WILL.

Provision Which Has Kept Brooklyn
House Closed for Eighteen Years.
The house at s255 Court street has
q strange history strange on &C
count of the eccentricity of its former
and original owner. The house is
opposite Harrison street and is not
unlike half dezen other houses on
the same block; but the feature
which distinguishes this particular
house from others lies in the fact
that all the outer blinds are tightly
closed and even the front door is
double barred with a great green
shutter. Some eighteen years ago,
says the Brooklyn Eagle, the house
had an air OF activity about it; it's
doors and it's windows were not
closely barred. John Snitzpann, a
widower. lived in it, with his only
daughter. He had built the house
and had lived in the neig hborhood for
a mum bereof years. He was regarded
by his 'neignbOrs as somewhat
peculiarqin manner, but no Ones in
the neighborhood was m ore generally
liked, in spite Of his eccentricity.
But his daughter had tired of the
neighborhood. Her companions and
friendsElived in more stylish locali-
ties and she longed for the day when
her father would sell or rent the
house on Court street and aocate in a
more fashionable neighborhood. Yet
her father would never listen to her.
Snitzpann died and left will giving
all his property, both personal and
real, Tito his beloved daughter Katha-
rine, but with the stipulation that
the house, 255 Court street must
neither be sold or rented by her or
her heirs; th&t she must either oc-
| cupy the house or let it remain idle.
When Miss Snitzpann heard thenwill
she said nothing, but her faceAWHore
a determined look. AS soon as she
could collect"her personal effects she
