A Visit From the Bsyleys.

A Visit From the Bayleys.
The servant at No. l told the serv-
ant at No. 2that her master expected
his old friends, the Bayleys, to pay q
visit, and No. 2 told No. 5 that No. 1
expected to have the Bayleys in the
house every day, and No. 8 told No.
4 that 1t was all up with No. 1 and
that they couldn't keep the bailins
out, whereupon No. A told No. 3 that
the officers were after No. 1, and that
1t was as much as he could do to pre-
vent himself from being taken In ex.
ecution, and that 1t was nearly killing
his poor, dear wife, and so it went on
increasing and increasing until it got
to No. 83 that the detective police
had taken up the gentleman who
lived at No. for killing his poor,
dear wife with arsenic, and that II
was confidently hoped and expected
that he would be executed at Horse.

care were very clear against him.

Tho BrOwn-SeQuard Elixir.

The Riforma Medica, an Italian
journal, gives results of long series
of experiments with the Brown-Se-
guard elixir and concludes that the
liquid, injected hypodermically, has
not the slightest lasting effect upon
the human organism; that the tri-
fling and transitory notifications of
circulation, respiration, temperature
and muscular power are applicable
by the excitement and tension Of the
subjects mind; that any rare and
transient improvement observed in
the treatment of various organic dis
eases by this method was due to sug-
gestion and the influence of magma
ton, to which causes alone Is to be
attributed the cure Of some cases Of
hysteria and neurasthenia.

National Airs.


Il Is strange thing that the ma
tional airs of great countries are
short, while those of little countries
are very long. For instance, "God
Save the Queen" is IA bars, the Rus
sian hymn Is bars, and Hail, Colum-
bia," the foremost among the Ameri-
can airs, has % bars. On the other
hand, Slams national hymn has rs
bars, that Of Uruguay 70, Chili's as,
and so on. San Marine, the smallest
republic in the world, has the long
est national hymn. The national
hymn of China Is so long that, when
people want to hear it, they have

THE LITTLE THINGS THE
MOST VALUABLE.

Comparatiyely few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or announcer,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make
its car windows so that they could be slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. III l were
running the road l would make 'pem III s'cii
way" .,,. s,,,oo
pan thinking ot?'' grumbles the COOK ne
never had to work oyer stoye, or he would
have known how it ought to have been liked"
"Hang such collar button y growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "lf | were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
ain out or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck" c..
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think OF some
thing else Ifthey would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents they might find themselves as
INDEPENDENTLY wealthy as the man who IN
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-Attention here is almost entirely diverted from the political to the financial aspect of the Venezuelan situation.
 The rumor circulated in this city that the Rothschilds had decided to immediately withdraw e4,000,0O0 from America is attracting attention. The Rothschilds informed the Associated Press that this report, as well as the report of the collapse Of negotiations for United States loan, were utterly untrue, that no negotiations were pending regarding loan and that no withdrawals from the United States had been ordered.
 On account of the Rothschiids the leading banking houses generally re- garded the situation as more favorable.

THE PRESIDENTS INITIATIVE.
It Was Not Taken Without Due Con-
 sideraition

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-In the senate, on the Republican side there is a disposition not ito consider the presi- dents financial message seriously. Senators Teller and CuTom said 1t looked as if the president was trying to offset the effect of his Venezuelan message and that it was beginning to look as if the president had concluded from the favorable manner in which the Venezuelan message had been re- ceived that congress would follow any suggestion he might make.
 That the administration has not moved precipitately in the Venezuelan affair is evidenced by the fact which has now become known, that Secretary Olney's famous letter defining the Mon roe doctrine was considered for fully two months before being dispatched to Ambassador Barard for delivery to Lord Salisbury. Moreover, it is a fact that the presidents message, while perhaps hastily reduced to its exact form, really was the subject of deep de- | Liberation for about six months, for ishere is good reason to believe an ad- verse response of Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olneys note was expected by | the president.
 It is noted that the presidents mes sage is a distinct advance in our atti- tude upon the letter of the secretary for whereas the latter was confined to declaration of doctrine, the former proposed action that went far beyond that point. It was this reason, without doubt, that caused the message to be most carefully considered for many months.
 It is thought if the commission to in- vestigate the boundary question is to make a proper examination of the country the task, including the sea voyage. will occupy about six months

QUEER VIOLATION OF LAW.
Man Accused of Felony Taken From
 Jail and NaSura1;zad.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 21.-A sen tsa. ion was created today whan it developed that Darnley Beaufort, alias Carneille Betz, under indictment in this and Nel- son counties, had been un,awfully taken from the county jail November 1 and naturalized The record shows that George Ferguson, who was arrest ed last Saturday for carrying concealed weapons at the polls, and who was pardoned by Governor Bradley in ad- vance of trial, certified to Beaufort's S being man of good moral character, as is required by law. Judge Richie was the presiding judge. Able lawyers today said they could not understand how man charged with felony could be taken from jail and made citizen, as the statute regulating the naturali- zation of aliens is very stringent. Beaufort is under indictment for ob- aiming money under false pretenses from John L. DeDpen, and is also under numerous indictments in Nelson coun- ty for fe,onious practices connected and for assault and battery while he was connected with the Gethsemane college. The grand jury will be asked to take up the case when it convenes Monday

UNPROTECTED PORTS.
General Miles Has No Rosy View of the
 Situation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-GeneraI Miles says our country is entirely un- protected on any coast and it would take two years and sSO,OOO0OO to pro- tect it. There are only three modern guns in position, two at New York and one at San Francisco. An enemy could easily destroy the wealth of three hundred years stored in the large coast cities and cause untold distress. A million men could be had at once. but they could not save the cities of the coast.
