PERSONS TALKED ABOUT.

Attorney General Judson Harmon is pro.
foundry bright-eyed man of affably agreeable
manner, with bald, high forehead and gray
cavalry mustache and is rising six and forty.
Like his promoted predecessor, his forte is cor
poration law. His appearance at his first Cab
met meeting in light business suit with q
sack coat and old straw hat caused sensation
in official circles at Washington. He is an
Ohioan of the deepest dye, and the father OF
three grown-up daughters. He is also level
headed good fellow who can tell a story we'll
and humorously. Indeed, he bids fair to sup
ply the place as raconteur left vacant by the
withdrawal of Mr.. Bissell from the Presidents
official family. He is not and never pretended
to be q politician. Neither is he a lingo, but
he is withal sound on all Federal questions, an
earnest advocate of tariff reform, and is unim-
peachable as to currency. He resigned his seat
on the Superior Court bench of his native Gin
cinnati, where he had successfully sat fop
nearly decade, in order to become the law
partner of Ex-Governor Hoadly.
Rubinstein by his will left money for prize
to be awarded every five years for the best
pianoforte concerto, which must be performed
for the first time in public by the composer hima
self. The first competition will take place at
Berlin on the Goth of this month, before jury
selected by the directors of the principal con-
servatories of Europe. The second compet1-

General Pichegru's capture of the Dutch fees
in the Helder in January, 1875, by sending
against it detachment of cavalry when 1t was
frozen in by the ice, one OF the most pic
turesque exploits IN history, has been rudely
shaken by NJ. Legrand, who has documents t0sd
show that the fleet had received orders TO surs
render without resistance.
Koch's tuberculine, which has been cast1 in
the shade of late by DR.. Roux's antitoxine, now
turns up again as remedy for insanity. Pro-
lessor Wagner Won Jauregg OF Vienna has ex-
perimented with it for four years, curing many
patients and improving the mental and physi-
cal condition of ali on whom it was tried.
Theodore Roosevelt is taking what time he
finds free from his cares in Gotham to devote
to literature. He is writing, among other
things, book of patriotic stories for young
people, ana when that is finished, it is said, he
will rest his pen for the present

Reform in Oshkosh.

Oshkosh has added to its distinction. 1t has
highly resolved to enforce its excise laws, and
highly is it carrying out that resolution,
amid the applause of nations. You cannot
get drink in Oshkosh between 1850 and
a. NJ. on week DAYS and on Sundays you go dry.
The Police Commissioners of Oshkosh are
active and voluble, the Mayor SPENDS hours In
regarding himself with satisfaction, and the
reform element is singing hymns OF triumph
In fact, the extremists are already proposing
that even the churches. shall be shut up on
Sundays. Oshkosh is full of reform and
crowned with virtue, and the world beholds 1t
with new Wonder.-NeW York Sun.

A MOTHERS TEARS.
"a Medley in Forms.l

"a Medley in Forms.)
When the work of day is done,
In the dusk, a vision clear,
Rises on my sight of one
Everlove and ever dear.
She, my queenly mother, stands,
Gazing at the empty space
That had been my resting place
When a child, and wrings her hands.
Oft her dear voice, rich and deep,
Sang my childish heart to sleep;
Even now hear her thus
Woe is mel hear her weepi
Watch the gath'ring moisture rise,
Grow to tears within her eyes:
Glistening stars in moonless skies
Which in falling-crystalliZe.
Thus are they borne hence to God,
BY an angel sweet and fair,
Pointing at the lustrous gems
Saying, "LoI A Mothers Prayerl"
Thus see thee, sanity one,
Ever loved and ever dear,
Daily when my work Is done,
And my speech is but-a tear.

Not True Beer.

The great fault with much OF the stuff that Is
consumed in this country is that it is not true
beer. 1t does not remain in the watts until it is
ripe, as real beer should, and in order to stimu-
late, or simulate, the completion of the process
it is charged with chemicals and impurities or
foam in order to cheat the customer. Beer is
made in this country that ought to be indicted,
and would be, too, If our health authorities did
all the work they are paid for.-Brooklyn Eagle.

NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE.
Dissolution of the Famous Chinese
Six Companies of California.

The latest talk in Chinatown at
the present time Is concerning the
split in the powerful "Six Compa-
MES. which, until few days ago,
had for its membership every Chi
naman in the United States who
thinks anything OF his native coun-
try. Now four Of the companies
which were in the organization
have stepped down and out, and
hereafter there Will be two organ
izations. Chinatown in this city
has been billed with copies OF a
proclamation announcing the Sc
cessiOn of four OF the companies
from the Six Companies. The
proclamation appeals 10 all adher-
ents OF the seceders to stand to-
gether and boycott the other com
panies. The local Cinnamon are
said to be divided. Some Will stand
by the old organization and others
viii unite with the new.
The story comes from San Fran
cisco that the disruption is due to
a recent murder in the Chinese
quarter OF that city. Chinaman
Tong Wei was murdered and the
police arrested Moe Tai for the
crime. The prisoner, it is alleged,
was not the murderer. The Chi
nese merchants got together and
members Of the company to which
Moe Tai belonged said he was in
nocent, and urged that the wit
nesses to this fact be sent to the
trial. For some reason the mer-
chants did not take any steps to
save Moe Tai. Things became so
interesting that the Ming Yung,
Shue Hing, Hop Wah and Kong
Chow companies withdrew from
the Six Companies and organized
what is now known as the See Yup
Company. The See Yup Company
will spend money and time and
bring much powerful pressure to
bear in the hope of freezing out the
remaining two companies.
The Six Companies is likely to
remain in power for a long time
and to have a great following.
When the floods occurred in China
last year the Six Companies res
pended nobly to the appeals for
assistance. In return the Emperor
of China sent to the Six Companies
a sign which bore with it a wish
tantamount to a command that
the organization should last 10000
years. Many of the coolies fear
that if they attempt to break up
the Six Companies some great evil
will befall them. The sign hangs
in the quarters of the Six Com
panies. No one will remove It for
fear that he will be stricken while
doing it. The new organization
hopes to get possession of the old
quarters, and its members Will
then announce that they are the
Six Companies.-Seattle (Wash.)
