His Full Name.

In The Independent James Payn says that in the beginning of the present cen- tury an American sea captain, having some business in public office in Lon- don, was very tedious in the operation of signing his name As it happened to be Papp, this annoyed the official, who thought his valuable time was being wasted, but as it happened he was mis- taken. The captain had only written his full name, Through much bula- ton = we enter into the kingdom-of- heaven Papp. May I ask you." said the official, "what your mother called you when she wanted you?' ''Well, sir, when was little," was the grave reply, ''they used to call me Tribby."

Fate.

Long she stood at the window and unused. The rays of the setting sun en- tangled themselves in her Titan hair or surrounded her glorious height of 5 feet with an aureate halo. Proud, queenly, limbed like goddess. she was indeed magnificent specimen of femi- ninity. ...e.. ..
 Strange" she muttered And then a soft, self pitying, half happy smile fitted across her face like gleam of April sunshine.
 Strange, she said again, Ito think that I, who only six short months ago was the quarter back of the Emancipat- ed Maidens' football eleven, should have lost my heart to man whose col lar is a size and baf smaller than mine. But such is fate. And love him.
 Carelessly picking up a 40 pound dumbbell, she tossed it out of the win dow and across the lot and then sought her boudoir. ir.-Cincinnati Tribune.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME.

Haunting me ever, there comes and goes A line from an old songs tender close, Its burden :he sweetest-the saddest, too, For the altered lives it has echoed through ''Love, had you loved me!' The words are few, But through them an infinite passion flows. Glove, had you loved mel' Perhaps the key To many grief this thought may be; To sorrow that stirs at the magic strain And steps from its prison, barred in vain, To crush with the old, relentless pain The heart that has guarded it faithfully. An, fondest and truest, whose brown eyes
 shine With the tenderest lovelight, I am thine Forever, thou heart of my heark and yet The breath of an April violet Wakens a longing, deep regret For eyes as blue, that were never mine. "Love, had you loved mel" what life would be Attuned to that passionate melodyl Sad hearts unblest, that must still repine For the draft untastcd of loves rich wine, Bitter tho memories that haunt this line Of "Love, had you loved mel" so mournfully.

 Old Freddy flor all his stomach-de- fended himself like paladin and had to be knocked on the head with boat stretcher, so that he knew no moro un- til, peeping through port at break of day, he saw misty shore slide slowly past him. as before gen:io air the schooner stood eastward under every stitch she could spread. "That shore, Freddy, Esq, is Obin island, from which little suckumstance you'll jedge that we're a-standin to the eastward out of this here hell trap of strait of yours. An, as to what we're a-takin you, Freddy, Esq, that you'll find out before you're a powerful deal older!'
 ' You'll have the Ticker after you before you're much olderH" snorted the astounded Freddy.
 Hardly thet, Freddy, Esq.

 In three seconds Crocky was on deck rapid, resolute and cool. "Chased sooner than we expected, lads! No get away now with Freddy, Esq.-but, without him, I guess we'll fix iti Get the dingy over the side-smart, now! We'll send his friends on little excur- sion to rescoo him from wat-tery gre-avep'

 Aboard the gunboat there was no hesitation. Reluctantly course was shaped for the little waif, scarce visible now against the sunrise, as faster and faster the freshening wind drove her out to sea, so that by the time the drenched and stiffened Freddy had been hoisted aboard the Ticker the namesake of the Alabama's captain was being warped into winding offshoot of the Johore river, wherein, with topmasts housed, she lay snug till dark Then, with the ebb, she dropped down again to sea, and sunrise found her we'll away into the gulf of Siam.

No Tip, No Lunch.

1t was in an up town restaurant, O high priced one, whero many men take lunch con and breakfast and many women meals at various times in the day.
 The writer was sitting at the "quick lunch" counter the other day when a young man entered, took his place and asked one of the white aproncd men be- hind the counter to serve him coffee and hard boiled eggs. The man looked at the newcomer moment, and then, in tone to which no objection could be taken, said:
 II am sorry, but you must go up stairs. I cannot serve you here'
 But you served me hore yesterday" came the protesting reply.
 "Yes, was tho walters answer but you were here 15 minutes earlier"
 The waiter, as tho man disappeared, turned to three or four of his colleagues, and believing the writer unable to under stand German said:
 Well, got even with him anyhow. Had he given mo 10 cents yesterday should have served him today. But I'll not put myself out to help man who will not help me. 1"
 Tho moral of tho story Is: If you expect to go twice to New York restaurant, you would better tip" your waiter. r.-New York Tribune

ELECTIONS IN JERSEY,
Municipal Contests at the Polls Throughout
 the State.

the State.
 JERsKr CITY, April 10-Returns up to this morning from the elections in New Jersey yesterday indicate that the Repub- licans have made gains. Jersey City, Newark, New Brunswick, Trenton, Eliza beth and Railway are some of the places where the Democrats were routed.
 The election in Jersey City was a Re publican victory. The candidates of thas party for members of the street and water board have l. 500 majority.
 The elections as rule passed of quiet ly. Reports from the different cities and towns showed that the voting was light, and that few attempts at illegal voting were made. Arrests. in comparison with election days of the past, were few. Even in Jersey City, where election day has been the busiest one of the year for the police, only four arrests were made up to o'clock in the afternoon.
 Interest in the election was intensified by the belief that yesterday $ results would decide how the gubernatorial contest next fall would go. In this speculation Jersey City figured as the most important point. for that city has been looked upon as the place that would cast the deciding vote in all state elections Since the election of Mayor Wanser in 1899 by a majority of 2. 500 the Republicans have gained one victory after another in both the city and county, until they now have control of nearly all departments

THE PRESIDENT REPLIES.
Says Dr. Lansing's Charges That He was
 Drunk Are Calumnics-

WASHINGTON, April s. S.-whcn the report of speech made in Methodist confer ence nt Salem, Mass, by Rev. Dr Ian sing and his subsequent published in- terview accusing the president of intem- peranco was shown to Mir. Cleveland, he said with considerable warmth: "Th's is simply an outrage, though it Is not the first time thing of this kind hns l,cen attempted. l cannot avoid feeling of indignation that any man who makes claim of decenoy, and especially ono who assumes the role of a Christian minister, should permit himself to become disscn- inator of wholesale lies and calumnies not less stupid than they are cruel and wicked.
 ''I easily recall other occasions when those more or less entitled to be called ministers uf the gospel have been instru- mental in putting into circulation tho most scandalous falsehoods concerning my conduct and character. The clements or factors of tho most approved outfit for placing false and bare faced accusation before the public appear to be. first some one with bsseness and motive sufficient to invent 1t; second, a minister with moro guuibility and love of notoriety than piety greedily willing to listen to 1t and gobble it, and, third, a newspaper anxiously 
 " For the sake of tho Christian religion I nm thankful that these scandal mengor- ing ministers arc few. and on every ao- ooun. am glad that the American people love fair play and justice, and that in spite of all effort to misloaG them they arc apt to form correct estimate of the char acter and lahors of their public servants |"
 BosToN, April 9.-Rev. Isaac J. I4an- sing. pastor of tho Park Street church in this city, who, in an address before tho New England Methodist conference nt Sa- lem last week, called President Cleveland a drunkard. has declared himself as fol lows on the subject:
 My allusion made in temperance ad- dress at Salem on Thursday, April {. to the drinking habit of the president of tho United States was hnsed partly on com mon report and partly on the testimony of eyewitnesses From various and indo- pendent sources which l believe to be wholly reliable had boon informed that tho president had been seen on different occasions and in tho presence of many persons in an intoxicated condition.
 "The case being one Of conflict of testi- mony between witnesses of equal orodi bility, l cannot decide and since I havo no personal knowledge apart from the tes. timony withdraw the statement and tom der apologctio and sincere regrets to the president of the United States and to the public"

WILDE'S DISGRACE.
HE WAS ARRESTED AND SPENT 4
 NIGHT IN JAIL.
The Ex-Esthete's own Admissions on the Stand Caused His Arrest to He Made. Unexpected End to His Famous Libel Suit Against the Marquis of Queensberry.

LONDON, April 6-Oscar Wilde was ar raigned in police court this morning after having spent the night in n coll in tho Bow Street station. This adds startling and whosy unexpected chapter to the proceedings in the sensational suit against the Marquis of oueensberry.
 The esthotio Oscar. after making a fierce attack on the marquis on a charge of libel, suddenly finds the tables turned and is himself languishing in durance vile And now Queensberry has the whip hand. He is all smiles today, and the voice of derision over Oscars plight is heard from Mile End to Kensington.
 It came about with dramatic quickness. The verdict of the jury started it. Just as every one had been expecting from the nature of the testimony revealing the vile ness of the man, the jury found that Wilde's libel charge was false
 He had accused the marquis of libeling him by writing that he was n scoundrel and moral leper. Tho marquis son, Lord Alfred Douglas was being debauch- ed in Wilde's company, and the father warned Wilde. The passion poet retortcd by suing the marquis for libel. and the upshot came when the jury returned a yer dict finding the marquis not guilty of H. bol, going a step further and declaring that his charges against the poet were true and made for tho public good.
 Whom the jurors had rendered verdict of not guilty, Sir Edward Clarke assented and supplemented their verdict with the declaration that the charges made by the defendant against Wilde were true and that they had been made in public interest
 Whom the verdict was rendered. tho Marquis of Queensberry left tho dock amid loud cheers. Tho judge granted an order requiring Wilde to pay the costs of the defense. Wilde was not in court. The willy poet had caught whif of danger in the air.
 Wilde Scented Danger.
 He had hurriedly left the building dur ing Sir Edward Clarkc's statement and gone to the Ho!born restaurant A war rant for his arrest had not yet been ap- piled for. but thore was ono to bo secured to put the leper behind prison bars.
 After leaving the Holborn hotel Wilde went to the Westminster bank. whero he drew out the funds to his account He was constantly shadowed. He returned to the hotel, accompanied by Lord Alfred Doug las only.
 Remaining few minutes, they drove to Ely place and thence to the Cadogan ho- tel, whero they temporarily vanished, and the Scotland Yard authorities issued de- scriptions of Wilde and spread them over the city.
 In an interview the Marquis of Queens berry said:
 "I have sent this message to Wilde, If the country allows you to leave, all the better for tho country. but If you take my son with you will follow you wherever you go and shoot you.
 Sworn informations have been lodged against several persons mentioned in the trial, some of whose names were not made public and the civil officers are only await ing the authority of the treasury depart ment to make the arrosts
