ed a connection with Matthew Carey, q
Philadelphia publisher. and sold his
books throughout Maryland and Vir-
ginia, travelling from place to place with
. wagon load of literary wares. He
cared little for creed and would fill any

80 years ago he published the first life
Of Washington. 1t was called "A His
tory Of the Life and Death, Virtues and
Exploits Of General George Washington,
Faithfully Taken From Authentic Docu-

one Of its anecdotes Of the young Wash
ington became q national joke. Later
biographers were unable to find any evil

the imaginative Weems invented them.

Oueer>ways Of the Toad.

Paternal affection is not perhaps the
precise emotion that we should be dis
posed to look for in the cold blOoded
frog. But the Surinam toad appears to
exhibit this praiseworthy attitude Of
mind toward his numerous progeny.
When his mate lays her eggs. the solicit
ous father places them carefully upon
her back, where In due time their pres
ence causes an irritation that produces
numerous small Roles. into which the
eggs forthwith drop. In these cells,
which. from mutual pressure, get to be
hexagonal, like honeycomb, the young
frogs are finally Matched. and for . bit
scramble about their mothers back, hid

LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS.

The special committe of thirteen has
prepared, presented and favorably en-
dorsed it's substitute railroad bill and
the same has passed the house by a
practically solid republican vote aud one
POP vote. The measure don't amount to
anything, simply "razzle-dazzle" the rail
road commission Il little. The bill re-
minds us of Burns couplet:
AN atheists laugh, s IA Door excuse
For deity offended"
This will prove to be a pure excuse for
the demands of the Yankton platform.
The bill simply amends the old law by
requiring under penalty OF $1,000 fine
anc a year in Jail for failure to perform
duty that the railroad commissioners IN
Eestigate all complaints against the rail
loads, giving them power to summon
I witnesses, officials, books and papers,
to find IA verdict for damages which
the railroad company shall pay or be
sued in court for the amount, and here
it leaves the matter just where the law
has left it in the past,
"As useless wheG IT goes as when it
stands"
The senate refused to pass the bill re-
curing bondsmen for county officials to
give ten days and for state officials
twenty days notice Of intention to trans
fer real estate. 1t passed bills forbid

ton of the bonds OF public officers to be

warden, abollshing the grand jury, Civ
ing the We erinary surgeon $1,000 salary,
raising the age Of consent to Is years,
cutting off the fines OF building and loan
ASSOCIATIONS after notice OF withdrawal.
The house passed a few u%nimportant
bills one Of which provides for printing

Just the same.
Attorney General Crawford presented
TO the investigating committee Betti-
CREWS letter in explanation Of his bust
ness with Taylor, He states that in
1893 he asked Taylor to secure him this
loan from a Chicago house. At the end
of the next four months he could not
pay and the bank forced Taylor to as
sumo the loan which had been three
months overdue, January 9Th when he
paid it. The attorney general placed
only two pages Of the letter before the
committee but refused the third page on
the ground hat it contained personal
matter and despite every effort Of the
Committee he refused to give it up. His
action In this regard has created much
criticism and the action of the commit
tse in not compelling him to show the
page has created more.

New Government for Yale.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May g.
William Hurlbut, OF New York has
issued a circular and sent it to
each member Of his class, advocat-
ing change in electing members
OF Yale Corporation.
He says: "Iale does not grow, it
drifts. Yale has prospered in a
certain way but how much more
prosperous might she have been
with a governing corporation, pro-
gressive and up-to.date. 1t is a
grave question whether in these
progressive times country clergy
men are the fittest persons to have
entire control of such an institu-
tion as Yale University"

That revolution in Cuba is prac-

the LIGHT prophesied it would at
the time that it was sent off half
cooked. There was nothing in the
i'm mediate situation to justify rev.
olutiOn, and just as little to en-
courage the revolutionists to hope
for any successful issue. The dis
turbance was only the outcome Of
the chronic dissatisfaction OF the
rulers Of the revolutionary party
with Spanish rule, and no revolu-
ton ever succeeded with so slim a
basis to stand upon. There was no
organization, no materials OF war,
no funds to prosecute the war with,
no real heart in the movement out
side OF dozen of the leaders, no
grievance to consolidate the people
against the government and create
an enthusiasm wanting these the
revolution could not succeed.

by dispatch announcing the death
of his little daughter. The deacons
of the Baptist church invited him
to preach yesterday and he was
greeted by the largest congreta-
tions that we have seen in the
church for many day. 1t is a
pleasure to listen to a preacher of
his ability as he proclaimes the
cold. old story, of Jesus and his
love"
