Pierre Free Press: 1t has always
seemed TO the Free Press that if the
twin cities Of ST. Paul and Minneapolis
should put their shoulders to the wheel
with Pierre and the Black Hills they
would not be so long in securing a rail
road from this city to the Hills. The
great benefits of such an enterprise
have been acknowlcd gcd for years and
still no concerted action has been taken
TO bring it about. With all the wealth
in the twin cities and the Hills the
question Of sufficient capital reconstruct
and equip the line should be easily
solved and the return would surely pay
one hundred fold on the Investment
This delay in the matter can present no
excuse. St. Paul and Minneapolis,

AN FRESHMAN AND A JEW.
4 business Partnership That Has Been En-
trely Satisfactory.

4 Business Partnership That Has Been En-
tirely Satisfactory.
There is an up town business firm
ono of the members of which is an Irish
man and the other Jew The Irish
man was born i'll Cork and the jew in
Cracow They have been in partnership
for several years, during which they
have built up fiourishing business.
The lrishman is beardless; the Jew has
a flowing black beard. The Irishman is
of the type of Rory O'Mooro; tho Jew
is of the type of Moses
They arc a mutual admiration pair,
and each has 4 solid respect for the
other The Irishman is a raro wit; the
Jew is solenlnas the Talmud. The Irish
man has q fine Corkonian brogua; the
native speech of the Jew is the Polish
jargon, which he mixes with his Eng
lish
The lrishman looks after the firms
finances; the jew attends to the buying
and selling. The Irishman is strict
Catholic and goes to church on Sun
day; the Jow is vigorously orthodox
and gees to synagogue on Saturday.
The Irishman is ''pudgy;' the Jew is
lean. They agreed never to talk upon
religion, ahout which they disagree;
but, rs the one is n bimetallic Democrat
and the other Democratic monometal-
list, they can always find a subject for
friendly argument
Tho Irishman is older than tho jew,
but the jew is taller than the lrishInan.
Both the Irishnan and tho Jew have
large families, and the children of both
attend the same school Most Of the Off
spring of the lrishman are girls, and
most of those Of the Jew are boys.
The favorite tipple Of tho Irishman is
ale, and that of the jew is Wine The
Irishman is quick tempered; the Jew is
slow to wrath. These two business part
ners, one of them from Cork and tho
other from Cracow, have carried on
their establishment successfully for
years in this city, have divided the
profits evenly every quarter, have never
had quarrel THAT lasted more than Il
minute and have made enough money
to raise them above the cares of life.
Surely they deserve to grow rich. New

KISSING on THE STAGE.
An Accomplished Actress Protests Against
1t and Loses Her Position.

An Accomplished Actress Protests Against
1T and Loses Her Position.
Tho question whether real kissing is
permitted on the stage is being hotly
discussed in the press and theatrical cir
cles i'll Vienna. During the ten repre-
sentations of a new piece all went we'll.
The actress Frau Leuthold, a married
lady, allowed herself to be kissed as re-
quired. But before the curtain rose on
the eleventh evening she declared that
her husband had forbidden real kissing,
When tho scene came Oh again, she held
both her hands before her face, and the
actor forcibly took them away to i'm.
print the kisses on her cheek, a contre.
temps which of course ruined the effect.
The role was then taken from Frau
Leuthold. She also refused to allow any
real kisses in another piece where they
were also deemed essential, and accord.
ingly she was dismissed, though she was
one of the most talented and also one of
the prettiest members of the company
Her dismissal occurred only two days
ago, and since then the question ito be
kissed or not to be kissed on the stage
has monopolized public attention.
Nearly every actress of renown has
beon asked her opinion by the Viennese
newspapers. 1t is curious to note that
nine tenths of the female artistes, in.
Guiding the most celebrated on the con-
temporary German, Hungarian and
French STAGE are in favor of real kiss
ing and refuse the sham article. ut is
only part of our duty, they say.
Moreover, the kiss is washed away
with the rouge. a kiss on the stage is
no kiss at all. 1t is only part of the stage
paraphernalia, like the dresses and the
drop scenes. Before the scenes kissing
comes as part of our duty. Behind the
scenes it is exactly the contrary.
A Hungarian tragedienne says, IAN
actress who so far forgets her role as to
find anything Objectionable i'll stage
kiss, mean real kiss, does not de-
serve to be called an artistic at all. - The
voices on the other side are, up to the
present, very few. The feelings and po-
sition Of the husband of any actress who
has to be kissed OH the stage night after
night by the same partner is altogether
neglected vienna Cor. London Stand

ROMAN MOBILES DUPED.
Count Visonc, Il Trusted Diplomatist In
an Ugly Card Scandal.

an Ugly cara scandal.
Freuch and Italian newspapers have
been referring mysteriously this week to
a new card scandal in Rome. The Of
fender is Count Visone, son OF former
minister of the royal household and for
somo time past secretary of the Italian
embassy III Berlin. He went to Rome
Oh a visit last week, and as usual spent
good deal Of time at the Mobiles club,
where play runs high. One evening the
count lost 900 francs and nonchal-
antly drew a check on his Berlin bank
ers for %, 900 francs, which he handed
to the club steward, saying:
"Pay 900 francs to these gentle
men and give me the difference -
This was done. The count paid sew
eral other visits to the club, but the day
before the check was due back from
Berlin he vanished 1t turned out that
his account ut his Berlin bankers
amounted exactly to 63 francs, and the
check was of course dishonored.
Tho affair caused a great stir at the
foreign office, for Count Nlsone was q
trusted diplomat, who only recently, for
over three months, acted as charge q at.
| faires at Berlin. Baron Blanc, the for
eign minister, Immediately dismissed
the count from the diplomatic service,
| and it is hoped that the scandal will
soon be forgotten, but this is not like
| ly, because it has been utilized as q
means of attacking the entire system in
accordance with which the Italian dip
lomatic service is filled with impecuni'
Gus young sprigs of nobility, whose fam
lilies consider it beneath their dignity tc
allow their sons to engage III commerce
or even to enter any government en-
plovment other than the diplomatic serv
ice as secretaries of embassies and leSa
tions. They of course have entrance i'll
to the highest society wherever they arc
stationed, and as four out of five of then
are invctorate gamblers the results are
disastrous and fruitful Of scandals like
that of Count Visone. The matter is oc
cupying the personal attention of King
Humbert and may result i'll some k1nt
of action OH his part with view to put
ting stop to high play among the Ro
man nobility. London Letter in New

hibiting prize fighting which goes into
effect in June makes newspaper men
who give notice Of an impending fight
or who mention a challenge or any Of
the details OF proposed sparring match
liable to fuc of 800 or Imprisonment

ever it is likely that if any OF these
matches occur the papers will print ac-
counts OF them and atifany challenge
is issued or the pugs go into training
the papers will tell about 1t. There
have been many laws designed to
abrigc the freedom of the press but up
to date they have not been executed

The influence of mir and Sky
Are side lights from the eternal throne
That fan upon the watchfEl eye

And crown him master of his own.
He knows the beauty of the rose,
The central sun; the farthcst star he knows.
The balance of Il blade of grass
The winds that i'll the meadows run.
Gathering incense as they pass
To offer to the throncd sun
The trembling secret to be Won
From every running stream all these
Arc his, yet force him silent to his knees
Tho watcher shall possess the earth
In silence, lcapng to control
In moncnts mighty with the birth
OF passion, when the eternal soul
Shall wholly bind him to the whole.

Arc his, the earth, yea, God himself he

and his physique is not so stalwart as it
was few years ago, but his mind is as
juvenile as ever. He has hacking
cough, which, when he gives way to it,
is almost convulsive in its tendency, but
the humorist seems entirely Indifferent
to its violence. He sat in prominent
New York club few days ago, running
spasmodically from one story to another
and commenting upon the talk of his
companions, with a perpetual smile Turk
ing around the corners of his mouth.
Yet at short intervals he was bent over
almost double under the violence of his
cough. When his companions referred
to it, as they did on one or two occasions,
Mr.. Clemens seemed quite unaware of
the fact that he had been arousing good
deal of sympathy as well as incessant
laughter. Exchange.

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues Of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishmept.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and If the blood is thin, impure
or insufficient, they are in state of re-
volt. Their complaints are made to the
brain, the king of the body, through the
nervous system, and the result of the
general dissatisfaction is what we call
Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable explana.
ton OF the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave. Ner-
vousness and Weakness will then give
way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.

lS years. During most of the time he has
been a great sufferer from inf1ammatory
rheumatism and from an injury to his hip.
He is son of DIR. James Mcbride one
of the pioneer settlers of Oregon, and was
born in Yamhill county in March, 1854.
His ambition beckoned him toward the
law, but poor health compelled him to
abandon his studies. Upon partially re-
gaining his health he embarked in bust
ness and soon became the leading mer-
chant of st. Helen's, the county seat of
Columbia county. He began his political
career In 1889, when but % years of age,
by seeking election as member of the
Oregon house of representatives The
county was Democratic stronghold, but
young Mcbride was so popular that he was
elected. When the house organized for
business, his unmistakable talent led to
his being chosen speaker, and he served
several terms as a representative and as
speaker.
In 1887 the Democrats elected Sylvester
Pennoyer governor by over 1000 majority,
but at the same time Mcbride was chosen
secretary of state by the Republicans and
received larger majority than that given
the governor. During his first term as
secretary of state he was thrown from a
wagon and crippled, and since then much
of his time has been passed in bed or upon
crutches. Under such discouraging cir
cumstances most men would have surren-
dered and devoted themselves exclusively
to getting we'll, but Mcbride caused one
of the rooms at the state capitol to be fitted
up as a sick chamber, and there for months
he transacted the business of his office
while lying racked with pain upon his bed.
In the next state campaign Governor
Pennoyer was reelected, and Mcbride
was also victorious by a majority of about
10000. A recent surgical operation upon
his injured hip and spine has been very
beneficial, it is said, and his health IL
much improved. His father was President
Lincoln's minister to the Sandwich Is
lands; brother, John R. Mcbride, was
Oregon's first Republican delegate to con-
gress and chief Justice of Idaho in 1866;
Thomas Mcbride, another brother, Is q

MILK INSTEAD OF FLOUR.
Farmers Who Say That 1t Pays Them to
Feed Wheat to Thei- Cows.

Feed Wheat to Their Cows.
Philadelphia milk consumers may
probably be interested in an experiment
of the farmers of the Schuylkill valley,
whence that city receives large quantities
of its milk. Recently increased ship
ments of milk have been made. Wheat,
in round figures, sells at less than So
cents, and owing to its low price many
farmers are chopping theirs and feeding
it to cattle. They say that bran is a
cent a pound, corn nearly acent pound,
oats cent a pound, and wheat cent a
pound, and that, as wheat has at least
one-rhird more milk producing qualities,
it is cheaper at present prices to feed it
than corn or anything else.
By actual test it was learned that go
pounds of wheat make more milk and of
better quality than the same quantity of
corn, or almost any other class of feed.
and it is stated that since Schuyllzill val
ley shippers are feeding wheat to their
cows their milk is pronounced of higher
standard of excellence. Farmers say that
they cannot afford to raise wheat for
fourmaking purposes unless they get 90
cents to 81 a bushel.- Cor. Phil

Utica,s Unique Tollgate.

Utica enjoys the doubtful distinction
of being probably the only city in the
United States which has a tollgate
within its boundaries or anywhere near
it, for that matter. The old days OF toll
roads and tollgates have passed away,
and it is we'll that they have. The com
pany which maintains the Deerfield gate
has legal status that cannot be done
away with without the consent of those
who own the property. The last legisla-
ture passed an enabling act which makes
it possible for the parties interested to
do away with the tollgate, and it is
something to which the attention OF the
authorities may properly be directed. -
