Woman Who Kissed In the Ear of III r
Gladstone.

Woman Who Kissed In the Ear OF Mr..
Gladstone.
1t is an illustration of the irrita bility
of human nature that differences of
political opinion provoke bitter feelings
and strong resentment. The venerable
English clergyman, Newman Hall, tells
in the Independent of an instance of
how spiteful politics may make a
woman. Says Mr.. FALL:
At the last but one Handel festival,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone went out
during the interval, saw two ladies,
very fashionably dressed, go up be-
hind him, one of whom Kissed in his
ear was some distance off, by reason
of the crowd. "
On returning to hear the second part
of the oratorio, heard a lady say:
"Didn't hiss in his carp
turned round and saw the same two
ladies, and could not forbear saying, in
loud voice:
'And you ought to be ashamed Of
yourself. We may not agree with Mr..
Gladstone in politics, but we ought to
honor him as one of the greatest men Of
the day, who has spent a long life in
the service of his country"

LEITRIM.
At the last CARR * on Shannon Quar-
ter Sessions, County Court Judge Waters,
in giving decree for ejectment. said he
thought it very harsh that an ejectment
should be brought where years rent
had been paid last October. Referring
to numbe of other ejectments brought
upon the same estate, under similar cir
cumstances, the judge aid be considered
it cruelty itself. He would not use
stronger word, but he nsidered it
strong enough for anyone, because man
ought not to be cruel even TO dog. He
would have to give decree in those
cases, but he would place stay upon
them. He did not know that it helped
tenants to place unnecessary costs upon
them by bringing those ejectnents, nor
did he know where they we're going to
get years rent after last harvest.
Neither did he hear that there were any
diamond mines in Leitrim.

anxiety to her family. As the end came
rather suddenly on Jan. 3rd, formal

known the deceased for some time pro.
fe~sionally, certified that death was due
to failure of the hearts action.

De Lesseps' Lesson.

E. L. N, in Kate Fields Washington,
quotes friend who has often stayed
with the Lesseps family as saying that
the count never seemed to lose sight of
the education of his children, even in
the smallest detail. One morning at
breakfast beautiful Dresden teacup
was broken. 'sAh!" cried the countess,
ga disaster! Two more Of that set will
now be broken. It always happens
so' Are you so superstitious, asked
the count, ''as really to believe that
two more will be broken?" II know
it, . ''Then let us get it off our minds. :"
And. taking two Of the cups by the
handles, he dashed them together. The
anger and dismay of the countess
proved conclusively that she had not
seriously held to her superstition It
also loosed any hold the absurd idea
may have had on the minds Of the chill
dren.

During the storm on January 18th and
18th, the steamer Edenvale, of Wexford,
towing a pilot-boat, had narrow escape
of total wreck. Mr.. Patrick Cogley, son
of the pilot master, and two or three
other pilots were in the boat. Owing to
the violent sea she parted from the
steamship, as they got close to the mid
die reach of the harbor, and in short
time was lost to view. A ]ifeboat was
sent out to search the harbor, and even
tually having come to anchor, her crew
were got off on the schooner William.

The Newhouse mortgage exemption BILL
one of the most sweeping and one of the most
important taxation measures ever before the
Legislature, passed by the House yes

it deductions are to be made from taxa

mortgages up to two-thirds of the valuation
of the property, where they do not exceed

will take all the way from $65, 900 to $780,
0Oe, 0O0 off the tax duplicates, but the author
of the bill denies this. insisting that it
will bring to light vast number of mort
gage notes that have heretofore escaped
taxation. 1t is a part of the bill that the
name of the holder of the mortgage note
must be given in order to secure the ex-
emption by the mortgageor. man with
a $1,000 farm mortgaged for $1,000 will
only have to pay taxes 5000, provided
he sets out in his blank the name and resi-
dence of the man who holds the 81 900 mort
gage note. The assessor will thus be able
to put the 81 900 note on the duplicates. Mr.
Newhouse has had the opinion of some of
the best lawyers in the State as to the con-
stitutionality of the measure. On his motion
the bill was recommitted to him as a COM
mittee OF one to strike out the emergency
clause and then it was put on its passage

all of the members took advantage of the

q resolution censuring engineer Cain, who
owned the bottle with the whisky Mr.
Petit said, in answer TO a question, that
Cain had admitted he had kept whisky in
the basement for six years. Mr. Harris also
wanted the members who had taken ad-
vantage of the freight elevator route to
the basement censured too, but the previous
question ordered on Mr.. Jackson s
resolution, which carried. The record
of the House was made to read, on Mr.
Aliens motion, that Representative Jackson
had apologized and that his apology had
been accepted. After this Mr. Bobilya filed
written protest against the passage of the

by Mr. Jackson during debate on the bill.
in which it declared by Mr.. jackson
that there was a barrel of whisky in the
cellar to which members had access. Mr..
Jackson arose and said that he had left a
bed of sickness in order to be present and
answer before the House, and that he was
still weak, but he would talk as loud as he
could His utterances betoken much physi
cal weakness, and sweat stood out on his
brow from the exertion. He said he de-
sired to offer an amendment to the report.
Mr.. Allen interrupted to rise to point of
ed before it was concurred in. The Chair
sustained the point, and then Mr.. Van Ars-
del moved to nonconcur in the report. The
Chair was about to put this when again Mr..
Allen objected that his motion was pending,
when Mr., Van Arsders was put, and the
Chair ruled accordingly, that Mr.. Aliens
motion would have to be put first. This
done, and the House refused to concur in the
report The The, extreme s severity Of the report

apology under strong hint of expulsion, Gre
the floor and said that he wanted first to
protest against the language attributed to
him. which he said he did not use. He ex-

with some one, he does not now know who,
who told him that there was whisky in the
cellar, and that it free to members
There were calls to name him, but Mr.
Jackson said he regretted that he could not
remember with whom he was talking, that
the member who he thought 1T was had
said to him that 1t was not he. He admitted
that without more accurate knowledge he
ought not to have spoken as he did, and he
offered his apology to the House He called
attention to the report censuring him, but
not the engineer of the Statehouse, who
kept whisky in the basement. Mr.. Van Ars-
del attempted to end the matter, which was
growing painful to the House. by having
the whole thing declared out of order, be-
cause the words were not taken down at
the time they were uttered, but the Chair
overruled the motion. When Mr.. jackson
took his seat Mr.. Petit gained the floor
and said that he understood the amendment
of Mr.. Jackson was to censure the engineer,
and with this he was in sympathy. About
this time some one moved to adjourn, 1t be-
ing II 20 clock, and this carried with Whiri,
everybody being glad of a way out of the
scene.

ficers for the purpose of filling the vacancy.
Strict regulations are provided against the
