STORY ABOUT QUAY.

From the Times-Iierald.
Just below Senator Quay's home in
Beaver. Pa, three streets meet. At
the point of Intersection is Il small
triangular strip which the boys of the
neighborhoOd for many years have used
for Il ball ground.
The senator has always looked upon
this spot as an eyesore, as it was des-
titute of grass and usually was COW
cred with sticks, stones and other i'm
pedimenta. Recently he decided to
beautify the little triangle by a foun-
tain, which he constructed at his own
expense and presented to the City of
Beaver.
But the boys resented this invasion
of their vested rights and Immediate
ly showed evidences of their indigna-
tion by filling the fountains BASIN
a circular inclOsure of cement. a dozen
feet in diameter--with stones and clods
of earth.
The senator ordered the basin
cleared, but the fountain played only
one day before it again became cholied
and quit.
From that time forward it became
race between the senator and the
youngsters. AS fast as the fountain
was put in order it was filled up again.
and at last guard was stationed to
frighten away the mischcfmakers.
Even this was only partially sue
cessful. Every boy seemed to think it
his duty to Saunter close enough to
throw a stone into the fountain and
dart away before he could he caught.
In case the watchman gave chase
dozen younsters would attack the foun-
tain while he was away
Finally the senator resorted to STRAIT
egy and diplomacy. He sent for one
of the ring leaders of the boys and
said:
'Do YOU want to earn little
money!"
The young man did.
Well" said the senator. Il want you
to throw a few boys into my fountain
down there. I'll give you 81 cents
apiece for sousing them into the water.
You may come here every evening and
I'll pay you for your days work. Take
care. though, that they don't throw
you in. If they do yOu'll have to pay
me 20 cents for every time you take
plunge"
That night the boy presented claim
for 20 cents. 1t was promptly paid,
and the young business man remarked
'Ill get more of 'em tomorrow. It's
cinch. I'm stronger and bigger than
the other kids: It's just like finding
money
The next night the youngster re-
ported earlier than usual. He was the
muddest and most bedraggled speci-
men of humanity that could be con-
ceiVed of. Slowly approaching Sena-
tor Quay he extended a grimp hand
and gave him half dollar.
"Dere's your change" he said; II
ducked six of EN-. but I've been in
eight times myself"

broke away from him on Linden street
and dashed down Oakford court to-
ward Spruce street. The runaway
prisoner was ED. Hazen. who had
arrested on warrant for embezzling
$l1 from Edwards livery stable.
The money taken by Hazen was the
proceeds Of board bill paid to him.
He was located in a Penn avenue sa-
loon and put under arrest by Consta-
BILE Wilson who was conducting his
man to the alderman's office when he
made his escape. The officer has
lame foot and was without his re-
volver which he threatened to use if
Hazen didn't halt. There We're several
persons in the alley at the time but
they made no effort to stop the man
and disappeared.

Liquid Notes Characteristic sketch.

All About The Senator's ElOQuenCe and
Liquid Notes Characteristic Sketch.
The Wood River News Miner gives
an account of Dubois rally recently
held at HALEY, and takes occasion to
indulge in the following characteristic
sketch:
"Mr Dubois was then trotted out. He
made the same Introductory remarks
that he has made every time he has
spoken here. His speech, If it may be
dignfed by such name, was all about
himself, except when he occasionally
forg OF himself to thresh over old straw
on the silver question. Nothing new
was brought out, and it seemed that a
United States Senator, with his exper-
fence and opportunities. might have
shown some originality and presented
some thing worth listening to-"
"The senator judiciously refrained
from abusing the Populists, as if he
can get enough of them to elect him
to the Senate, he will then have six
years in which he can devote himself
to stamping them OUT.
"He informed the meeting that he
didn't have any money, leaving great
many to infer that John Condron had
it ALL"
IF the sepator makes the same kind
Of oratorical efforts in congress, which
he seldom does, he must exert a won
derful influence on such inferior men
as Tom Reed, John Sherman, and
other lesser lights.
GAS few people here have ever heard
of the Dingley bill, of the st. Louis
convention, and such things, the speak

an important part he played in connect

and it was all intensely interesting

"If he had not been born under the
shadow of Lincoln's roof, and his
brother had not been named Lincoln,
it might be Extraordinarily differ

century"
1.-THE senator has a beautiful, flute
like, heavenly voice, with lovely nasal
twang, and whenever a pause is made
it Immediately rises up toward the
roof with grand sweep that no other
orator has ever been capable of success
fully initiating. Just think of that in
