LEVI JONES' LONG TRAMP,

He Says He is Walking From Denver
to Washington for a Wager of $4,000
An Albany dispatch to the New York
Sun says: An aged hoboe came into Al
bany tonight from over the Schenectady
turnpike and journeyed OH to find a place
in the fields beyond to camp. His gray hair
hung down over his shoulders, but he held
himself erect to the full stature Of six feet,
and. though he walked slowly he steadily
covered ground. He says his name is Levi
Jones, and that he started last March from
Denver, Col, to walk to New York and go
thence to Washington any way he pleased,
so long as he gets there by the time Con-
gress convenes. 1t is for a 10000 wager,
and he says that when the bet was made
he weighed 300 pounds. A gambler made
was done during drunken oarousal and
was regarded as joke. BY the terms of
the wager, he says. he is to have no money,
nor Is he to sleep under a roof until New
York is reached Accordingly, he carries a
roll of old quilts and blankets under his
lett arm and gunny sack with cooking
utensils on his back. while in his hand he
carried an old tin can over half full of tea
leaves that had been used several times.
That he did not ask for money to help him
along and rather sought to conceal than
reveal his identity lends color to his story
Jones says that he twice hoofed 1t over
the mountains to the City of Mexico and
has camped all over the Rockies as a min
ing prospector. He has reduced his weight
to about $50 pounds, and says: I'm win

One Characteristic of the Churchill
Family Which Still Obtains.
From the New York World.
The engagement of the Duke of Marl-
borough to Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt prom
inently directs attention to the fact that
he is maintaining the record of the
Churchill family, unique even in the Brit
fsh aristocracy, for marrying money. The
first marriage of the late duke was the
only exception in two generations, but he
atoned for this divergence from the fam
lily rule by his second union with Lilly
Hammersley.
Lord Randolph Churchill got a fortune

President Stevenson is very popular among
California democrats. Morrison Of Illinois
is equally popular. Whitney's candidacy
has been strongly urged by some of the
leading democratic papers, but Mr.. Whit
ney's connection with the Standard OIL
monopoly and the known alliance, offensive
and defensive, between the Standard OIL
Company and the Pacific railroads, for the
purpose Of influencing congressional and
other governmental action for several years
past, prevents democrats generally from
becoming enthusiastic in Mr.. Whitney's
support, although 1t is conceded that he
made brilliant and excellent record as
Secretary Of the Navy during Mr. Cleve-
lands first administration. and that he is
personally man of great ability and high
character.
THE third term talk is not regarded in
California as at all serious. and If thought
serious would be extremely unpopular there.
Mr. Cleveland's reputation for good sense
and sound judgment is regarded as a suf1i-
cient answer to the suggestion that he
would attempt to run counter to the gen.
eral sentiment Of the country against a
third term by even considering such a
proposition"

B1G-HEARTED GABE BoUcK.
How He Took n Warrington Boy and

How He Took n Warrington Boy and
Set Him Up in Business.
In its "Stcries Of Statesmen" published a
few days ago, The Star made a passing ref
erence to Gabe Bouck's big-hearsednes a
remark quite in place. for Gabe's generous
nature made itself felt wherever he was
known. A case in point:
Among the pages in the House when Gabe
was Representative from Wisconsin was
a bright little fellow named George B. Ne
Clellan Hilton, whose parents were poor and
resided In Washington. Gabe took a liking
to the manly little fellow, and the page
seemed to take especial pains in making
himself serviceable to Gabe, until he began
to be recognized by the other pages as
6oucks messenger. and no other one
tnought or answering Gabe's beck and call
when little George was around. MANY were
the substantial little presents from Mr.
Bouck George took home to his parents
on numerous occasions, and when Gabe's
pubic me IN the Capitol was drawing to a
close ana another man had been chosen by
his constituents to represent them, the
honorable Gabe went to the little fellows
house one evening and told the father and
mother ne wanted to take the boy to Wis
consin with him. He knew that George was
the mainstay Of his parents, so he told them
tney should not suffer in money matters by
their sons absence.
ne poy went away with his big-hearted
friend, was taken to Oshkosh and arrange
ments made for his schooling. In time he
was given desk in his benefactor's office
and commenced the study of law, and after
the usual course of reading he was admitted
to the bar. Under his friends guidance he
mad invested his savings here and there un-
til the returns enabled him to send for his
mother. and he began to have quite a re-
spectacle balance in the bank. The WASH
ington boy is now well fixed in this worlds

GLADSTONE's POSTAL CARDS.
He Answers Questions, but He Doe
Not Commit Himself.

He Answers Questions, but He Does
Not Commit Himself.
From the Philadelphia Record
A few years ago Mr.. Gladstone was
seized with a mania for answering on pos
tai cards all communications addressed to
him. His replies to requests for an opinion
were so delightfully."- non-committal that the
recipient of the postal was never any the
wiser as to the great 'statesman's views.
For instance, Mr.. Gladstone was once asked
what he thought of the use Of tobacco.
Forthwith on a postal came the following:
while some persons consider the use of
themselves and offensive to others, not
few persons consider it an innocuous and
delightful indulgence. What do you think
about it?" These observation-disclosures from
Gladstone's pen were all much alike and
created such fun that they were eagerly
sought The old gentleman has for some
time ceased this manner of correspondence,
but the enterprsing swindler in London,
who Sas been flooding this country with
Gladstonian postals must have made
rich harvest He Melted s. piece for them.
1t may have been that Mr.. Gladstone's
studied care not to express an opinion was
due to the fact that he suspected an impo-
sition of this nature would arise. ST. Au-
gustine dubbed Cicero "a weigher and
measurer of Words But give the wonder
full sage of Hawarden a postal and he can
discount the great Roman orator at his own
game.

DEPARTURE OF THE BIRDS.
They Leave without Warning III
Autumn Approaches.

Autumn Approaches.
From the North Adams, Mass, Transcript.
Every one knows when spring and the
birds are here. Not so when summer wanes
into early fall Gradually and insensibly
one bird after the other leaves the barn or
thfcket where its home has been, and after
a few days wandering in the neighborhood
disappears. We notice some afternoon that
the swallows are no longer singing on the
ridge pole of the barn, or playing about Its
caves. that the familiar twitter of the
chimney swifts no longer falls from the sky.
If we reflect, we become suddenly aware
that no thrush has sung from the wood
land for evenings past, and 1t hardly needs
the unfolding of asters innumerable to tell
us that another summer is over.
Not all the birds, however, leave us in
this silent and mysterious fashion. Walk
for a mile through the thickets on the river
border: before long the familiar tee, dee,
dee, of the chickadee comes to you. and In
a moment you catch sight of black cap
here and another there in the shrubbery
But with them comes a troop Of little birds
In many colors silent or noisy gray vireos,
bright-coiored warblers, nut-hatches and
creepers, and occasionally thrush or
catbird. The company surveys you and
passes on along route familiar doubtless
to them. though through what to us would
be trackless tangle. Or pass to the neigh
boring cornfield, where the weeds have at
last won In the summer struggle, and bend
with their loads of seeds. AS you draw
near brown forms fly to the fence rails, or
fit before you-fleld sparrows. chippies or
a baywing with white feathers in his tail,
ard IN more auspicious years than this,
hiuebirds.
These rowing bands are bound together
apparently by similar tastes in food. but I
always like to think by a little affection
also, or friendly concern. They wander
through field and woodland, till some night
more favorable than the rest for travel. or
some wind whose suggestion of coming
winter is stronger starts them on that Won
derful series of journeys which we term
migration. The next morning finds them
in Connecticut or New Jersey and a fort
night later they are in Virginia. Life is
to them now as careless as a schoolboy's
vacation. Only the dark shadow of a
hawk now and then Interrupts their round
