He was Eccentric.

A millionaire who was noted for his
eccentricity died at Antwerp NJ. Van
Goulaken had a special antipathy to
tramlines, and when they were laid
down in front of his house, many years
ago, he took an oath that he would
never have his house cleaned or painted
again. The house was long disgrace
to the fashionable quar- ter in which he
lived; but he regarded its dirtiness
with grim satisfaction. In his will he
has forbidden his heirs to use the
word regret in any announcement of
his death.

His Presence Caused Trouble at the
Glover Club Dinner.
PHILADELPHIA, May 18.-Coxey made
sensation here tonight by appearing
at the Clover Club dinner. After he
was invited Colonel A. K. Mcclure, ex-
Minister Charles Emery Smith, Major
General Snowden, Colonel John I. Rog-
ers and other members of the club said
they would not sit at the dinner with
Coxey. They were told he would not be
there, SO they came, but Coxey came
too. When Colonel Mcclure walked in
with Ex-Governor Curtin there was a
lively row. Coxey was enticed from the
sBellevue hotel, where the dinner was
spread, and taken to the Art Club by
Colonel Thomas Donaldson. Then the
DINNER resumed. General Snowden told
the Cloverites that ne would not dine
with Coxey, as he might soon have oc-
caslon TO meet that general in a
sterner conflict. Coxey was angry over
the turn-down, but sought solace with
some genial friends.

Importunate Tenant.

Naturalists have of late taken a good
deal of interest in a creature, member
of the fish tribe, that lives upon the
products of the indus ry of others.
This associate or dependent at q GER
tain stage of its existence goes out to
seek a home, and, finding suitable
prospect, it lies in wait for the oppor-
tunity to take possession. When the
larger fish opens its mouth, the slender
little donzalle, as it is called, thrusts
its tail between the jaws of its new
landlord, and then remains perfectly
quiet while the mouth closes. When it
again opens the donzalle moves in still
further, until it has secured it's quar-
ters, when it settles down to a con-
tented if somewhat monotonous exis-
tence in the digestive canal of its
chosen victim. There it helps itself to
the choicest morsels, and that, too,
without even saying ''by your leave. !"

Origin OF a Common Expression.

The term ''namby-pamby,'' which
has come to be applied to person OF
vacillating character, as we'll as to
weak literary productions, was origi-
mated by the poet Pope He applied
it to some puerile verses that had been
written by an obscure poet-one Am
brose Phillips-addressed to the chill
dren of a peer. The first half of the
term is meant as baby way of pro-
nouncing Amby, a pet nickname for
Ambrose, and the second half is simply
a jingling word to fit it.

The National League Believes in a

Rosebery, the Address Says, Has Betrayed
the Home Rule Cause-Now Is the
Time for Action.

New YORK, March 17.-William Ly-
man, treasurer of the Irish National
League of America, on behalf of that
organization, yesterday issued mani.
festo TO the Irish nation and abroad.
The address condemns parliamentary
methods as futile, and advocates a rev.
olution as the only means by which Ire
land can achieve restoration of her
rights. After declaring that the Irish
cause has been betrayed by Gladstone
and Rosebery, the address says;
Traitors have brought the Irish
cause almost TO the verge of ruin. The
question is, Who can save it,"
The manifesto concludes as follows
"A critical moment has come. Let
those who fight for the principle of
Nationality close their ranks and smile
at English force and Irish traitors on
high. Once again Ireland has got to
depend upon the revolutionists. The
revolutlonists only can save her. We
must have deeds. One blow struck at
the enemy is worth thousand speeches.
Remember this, each and every one OF
you, and the end of the struggle must
soon come in a blaze of glory Now

an Elevator Until Rescued.
CHICAGO. March ls.-The people in the
vicinity of the new grain elevator in
South Chicago yesterday afternoon
were Mortified to see Joseph Coates, a
carpenter, slip on the roof and slide
rapidly to the edge. AS he was going
over the edge he grabbed a wall plate
with his hand and hung to it, his body
being suspended at height of 100 feet.
Coates fellow men were paralyzed with
fright and two of them tainted. Others
soon recovered their senses and set
about to recover him. All this time
Coates was crying out to those in the
sound of his voice to save him. In the
course of a few seconds the horror
stricken watchers on the bridge below
saw a man appear at the window and
behind him several other men. The
first man leaned forward until it seemed
as if he would tumble headlong, but
strong hands put stout rope about his
body and held him securely while he
reached out and grasped the man hang
ing from the wall platform and sue
ceeded in getting him to the window
ledge, and then, with almost super
human effort, brought him through the
window. The rescued man when he
found himself saved fell over in a dead
faint, and his rescuer, William Jones
another carpenter, collapsed.

Captivated In Chicago by Miss Harriet
w. Potter OF st. Joseph, Mich.
SAN FRANcIsco, March 10. - Miss
harriet w. Potter of ST. Joseph, Mich,
is TO marry Minister Thurston of
Hawaii. She is we'll known in San
Francisco, where she has served since
the Opening of the midwinter fair as
secretary of the Hawaiian village and
panorama. Sue made Thurston's ac-
quaintance while at the Hawaiian CYCLIC
rama in Chicago, where she was given
a position as secretary and cashier.
Miss Potter is above the medium height,
of fine figure, brunette, pretty and
ladylike. Thurston is said to have be-
but he was very discreet lover, for
his intimate friends knew nothing of it,
Miss Potter came to San Francisco in
January with two schoolmates, both of
whom, like herself, had been given po-
sitions as cashiers in connection with
Hawaiian concessions. Thurston was
also here early in the year, stopping
over a week on his return from his late
trip to Honolulu. 1t vas his expecta-
tion that he would receive news from
Washington of such an important char
acter as would make it necessary for
him to hurry back to Honolulu, but,
after waiting for week he went back
to Washington. While here he pressed
his suit and the progress which he made
may be inferred from the fact that Miss
Potter resigned her position at the mid
winter fair two weeks ago in order to
return TO St. Joseph, where, it is an
nounced, she will be united TO Minister
Thurston some time during the next
fortnight.

The Town and Surrounding Country Is
Getting Severe Wetting.
BOISE, March ia special to the
Statesman from Shoshone, on the Ore
gon Short Line, says; Four miles of
track between Owinza and Kimama are
practically under water. 1t is almost
impossible to work at this piece of
track, as the surrounding country is all
under water. Superintendent Bancroft
left this afternoon for this place with a
work train. Washouts between Sho-
shone and Bliss are numerous and as
one place is repaired another breaks
out. No trains have gone east since
Monday, and it is not expected that
train will be able to 20 through for two
or three days in each direction. Sho-
shone is almost under water; the
bridges have been anchored, but the
water has cut a channel around them,
and all travel is by boat. An attempt
to blow out the ice gorge about one
mile below town will be made tonight,
which is expected to relieve the town
of surplus water.

the argument and the hearing, they
say, will be exparte and not binding.
1t is even doubtful if the supreme court
will give an answer to the question sub
mitted by the governor. In that event
the governor may renew his attempt TO
clean out the police department by
force. A committee of safety has been
organized with the following executive
board: }. H. Brown, ex-Sheriff Michael
Spangler, Donald Fletcher, e. Monash
