THE LOVE OF CATO.

It ComIsrls Him to Resort to Extreme
Measures.
First came colored man, who looked r.
be so years old, and who was so bumped over
that he could hardly look up. He was fol
lowed by his wife, who was very corpulent
and slow moving, and after them came
bright looking girl about Is years old
their daughter Libbie. Twenty feet be
hind followed a young co1ored man named
Cato, who was scuffing his feet in the dust
and wearing a detected look.
The trio had arrived at the depot to take
the train to a station 13 miles away. They
had an hour to wait and as they sat down
on the platform in the sun, Cato came up
and sat down on a box of bacon a few feet
distant. The colored man employed about
the station came up after moment and
looked the quartet over and asked:
.'Uncle Billy, whar' yo' all gwine to on
de kivered kyars today?"
"Gwine up ter Rossville,' replied the
old man.
who's dat niger on de meat box, ober
dar?''
"Him's Cato Dade.'
"Boy, whar' yo' gwine to?'' demanded
the employee, as he pointed at Cato.
''No wharf,
"Den what yer loafn round yere fur

go Cato am in lub wild Libbie, - explained
the mother
SHUT He's trashI'' exclaimed the girl,
as she tossed her head
81 Am yo' gwine to marry him?''
"No, ssih ~
AS she uttered these words Cato took
from his pocket vial full of red liquid
and hastily removed the cork and sBal-
lowed the contents. Fifteen seconds later
he stretched out, quivered few times and
apparently breathed his last. All were
looking at him, but for some time no one
said a word. Then the employee observed:
s"Dat boy has dun gone and killed his
self kase he was in Tub. It's agin de prin-
ciples oh dis corperashun to hev dead
corpses lyin round we're, an I'll dump him
ober de fence!'' 80
There was swamp opposite the depot,
and the employee tugged and lifted and
finally got the body on his back and al
most to the fence. Then it suddenly slip
ped off and got up and went away down
the track at gallop. Cato was not dead.
He wasn't even sleeping. He was only try
ing to move Libbie's heart. When he
found he had failed, he left He was 200
feet away when the employee called to him:

place deludin de principles Oh de railrode
I'ze gwine to brake yo' neck in TO- pieces,

But Cato heard him not. His gait had
increased to ten miles an hour, and the
clatter of his old shoes on the roadbed
drowned all other sounds.-Detroit Free

Allison law. but it was not free coinage,
and it was not satisfactory. We adopted
s.nore liberal policy" in the Sherman
law, and things were no better, but
rather worse, and it was repealed For
hundred years previous, and up to 1878,
there was no trouble or complaint about
silver. Everybody was satisfied with it
except England and few financiers Of
the Sherman type. The people were not
asking for any action regarding silver
then. but they have been demanding its
restoration ever since, and they will con-

GEORGE CLARE; who was appointed by
Governor Morrill, to place on the state
board of charities, hastens to the defense
of the administration in a column edi-
torial last week. If any charges have
been made against the governor which
are not true defense is in order, but
have any such been made? What Mr..
Clark particularly objects to is the crit
icism of the governors position on the
prohibitory law He says there are courts
and county attorneys to look after that
and that it is no affair of the governors.
He seems to forget that the metropoli-
tan police law was passed for the ex-
press purpose of putting the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law in the hands
of the governor exclusively. The people
were not willing to trust it to the cities
or the county authorities, but they placed
the power all in the hands of one man.
They never anticipated that a man whom
they had elected to the high Office of
governor could betray them.

70 CHOOSE BISHOP.
Chicago Tribune.

The Topeka Parish has Ele cted Delegates
for May 2S.
The members of Grace Cathedral have
selected delegates to the meeting to be
held in this city on May % for the pur-
pose of electing bishop for Kansas to
succeed the late Bishop Thomas
The delegates elected are: P. G. Noel,
F. E. Marsh and John w. Farnsworth.
The alternates are: C. ]. Brown, d. w.
Nellis and A. Walker.
Though there are three delegates the
parish will only be entitled TO one vote.
The clergy is also entitled to one vote so
there will be two votes from the Topeka
church. The clergy and laity do not
vote together but they make two dis
tinct bodies like the house and senate.
OF course there are no avowed candi-
dates for the position of bishop but it is
understood in Topeka that there are at
least two men who will be voted for.
They are Dean MilIspaugh, rector of
Grace Cathedral and Bishop Abel Leon
ard who is now missionary bishop of
Utah. He was formerly rector of the
church at Atchison.

LIGHTNING-RoD STORY.
How They Were Established in Eng
land.


A good story is told of the way in
which lightning conductors came to be
adopted for English warshipS. In 1866
the general idea in England of the
lightning conductor was that it at
tracted the lightning, and so did more
harm than good This belief extended
even to the Admiralty. Snow Harris,
an official engineer, after long recon-
mending his metallic conductors for
ships and proving what important
losses had occurred through their ab-
Sence, obtained permission to put them
on ten ships destined for foreign serv-
ice. On one ship q flagstaff which had
been put above the conductor was shat
tered by a lightning stroke, and, al
though no further damage was done,
the Admiralty looked upon the accident
as so serious and ominouS that the re-
moval of all the conductors on the re-
turn of the ships was decided upon.
In the meantime Sir John Rennie had
had orders from the Admiralty to erect
two victualing houses at Devonport,
each of which had granite chimney
rising sixty feet above the roof. One
OF these had been furnished with a
lightning rod; but before the other rod
could be put up Rennie called on Snow
Harris and complained Indignantly
that the lightning conductors had been
stricken out of the estimates. Never
mind" said Harris. Mature will
avenge usl" The prophecy strangely
came true. A bifurcated stroke of light
ming fell on the two victualing houses;
the protected building suffered no in
Jury; the other building was torn
open and nearly destroyed. This
settled the matter of lightning
conductors in England. All
Harris proposals were carried out; he
was made a knight, was granted a
Civil List pension of $1,000 year, and
received from the House of Commons a
special grant of $4,000 for his inven-

POOR MEMS FOOD. "
Thousands of Ducks Shipped Daily,
But Prices Are High.
San Francisco CAN

\CdH FIdilCiSCO Sdtt1
There has been considerable inquiry
of late as to the reason why game is
so high in price. Since the opening of the
season for shooting quail and water
fowl thousands of both kinds of game
have been shipped to this city from the
Suisun marshes, Sacramento River and
the upper San Joaquin district. Market
hunters are out in all directions and
every train brings in dozens of bags of
game, yet the hunters make but little
above their cost of ammunition and liv-
ing expenses and the housewife has to
pay gilt-edged prices if she fancy roast
mallard, goose or broiled quail.
A lady who has a large family to pro-
vide food for remarked that she was un-
able to purchase mallard ducks less
than 20 cents a pair, and canvasback
cost about the same price. Small ducks
cost 40 and 90 cents pair in the mar
kets Those who are obliged to dine in
the restaurants have to pay 30 cents
for half of poor little teal or widgeon,
and much higher price for mallard or
cans.
The market-hunter also makes lou
complaint. One of these men from the
upper San Joaquin in discussing the sit
uation yesterday said that there was
but little profit in the business after
ammunition and provisions were paid
for, to say nothing of the loss of time
and labor He stated that every day
from fifteen to twenty sacks, each sack
containing five or six dozen ducks, were
sent from his neighborhood.
And what returns do we get?" said
he, The papers quote mallard at 81
and 81 30 dozen. We get So and So 80
if we are lucky and pay the freight
charges ourselves. The freight amounts
to / cent a pound or 30 to 75 cents a
sack The commission merchants pay
US just what they please, and it is
their pleasure to cut down the prices
without any conscience"
The retail dealers protest that they
are not at fault for this condition of af-
fairs. They claim that they only charge
for their game such prices as will allow
fair profit to their business. Naturally
enough they decline to tell what prices
they pay, claiming that to do so would
be to injure them in their standing with
the middlemen who control the market
and the prices.
