Captaln wiborg,s Plea for Pardon.

PHILADELPHIA June 11.-Captain Wi
borg, the master of the Hart line steamer
Horsa, who was recently convicted of vio-
lation of the United States neutrality laws
in conveying fllibustering expedition to
Cuba, has appealed to the president of the
United States for pardon. His applica-
tion was filed in Washington in the de-
partment of Justice yesterday. 1t was at
once sent back to United States District
Attorney Beck for the purpose of being re-
ferred to Judge Butler, before whom Cap
tain Wiborg was tried and convicted. If
both of these officials unite in opposing a
pardon the petition will not be laid before
the president. If either one of them ex-
presses no opposition to pardon the petit
tion will be sent to the president.

Miraculous Escape from Death.

LANCASTER, Pa, June II. - Matthias
Hen1el jumped from the third story win
dow of Foehls cafe last night. His fall
was impeded by a canvas awning at the
second story, through which he tore big
hole, and several men standing in front of
the restaurant grabbed at him and par
TALLY broke the violence with which he
struck the marble step on which he landed.
The man came down on his feet, and,
strange to stay, his injuries are apparently
trifling consisting of the fracture of the
bones of one foot and bruised body. Hen
kel had been drinking heavily for several
days past, and was ON the verge of de-
lirium tremens. He is brother-in-law Of
the proprietor of the restaurant, and
worked around the place North Queen
street was crowded with pedestrians when
he made his startling leap. He wore only
his shirt.

of excitement when it was known that the
manager of Mr.. Reed had announced that
there was no further hope among the lead
ers of the forces of the man from Maine.
Other supporters of Mr.. Reed said the
declaration would cost Mr.. Reed at least
half of the votes that would have been
cast for him had nothing of the kind been
said.
Several of Reeds supporters asserted
that the declaration of Mr.. Manley ought
to be followed by statement from Reed
that his name would not be presented, so
that those who were yet under obligations
TO vote for him would be released 1t was
said that in the face of certain and adj
mitted defeat, delegates could not be ex-
pected to vote for Reed, and that probably
all of New England's votes, all of Rhode
Islands and all but one in Connecticut
would be cast for Mckinley, even if Reed S
name was presented. There are some del
egations from the south which will take
similar action.
1t was also stated that the declaration of
Mr. Manley would weaken the other can
didates, as it would be sure to influence
the wayering TO vote for Mckinley. Sena-
tor Gear, who is representing Iowa on the
national committee said that, notwith-
standing the declaration of Mr.. Manley,
Senator Allison name would be presented
to the convention and voted for. w. A.

A FIRST WARD LOVE AFFAIR
After Paying For the Ocean Voyage a
Lover Refuses to Marry.
THE SHERIFF FIGURES IN THE CASE
Joseph Kurciewicz, Of the First Ward, Has
a sister-in-Law Engaged to Three
Boarders Within a week-A
Money Consideration.

A complicated love affair in the First ward
has resulted in the Sheriff levying upon the
goods of one of our Polish citizens Joseph
Kurciewicz and wife keep boarding house
in the First ward, and it appears that Mrs.
Kurciewicz has a sister across the water who
is very anxious TO make this her home, She
has not the money, however, to pay for the
journey and her sister hit upon a novel plan
whereby the desires of the young lady could
be satisfied.
At the Kurciewicz house man boards
who has great fondness for the fair sex, and
in his desire to become Benedict made the
following proposition to Joseph. He promised
to pay $50 towards the expense of the trip, if
the young lady proved acceptable upon her
arrival, with the proviso that the two were to
take each for better or for worse. If she was
not to his liking Joe was to pay the fare. To
bind the bargain the boarder paid Joe Si5 on
account, and the latter gave a friend judg-
ment exemption note as security.
The young woman arrived, and as her
charms failed to reach the heart of the
boarder, he refused to marry her, and de
manded his money back Failing to get it
the boarder appealed to the Sheriff and thai
official Yesterday levied ON Kurcewicz'
household goods.
Barna Lubrikus also boards at the same
house, and Cupid's darts had the desired eff
feet upon him. As a result the two were
perfectly agreeable to a marriage, the license
was procured, and to make matters more
complicated he now refuses his hand in mar
riage. Not dismayed by her former efforts,
her charms attracted the attention of boarder
No. 3, and the wedding is set for next week.
What will transpire between now and then
is question of doubt.

3 Double Dinner.

A distinguished judge frequently
brings friends home to dinner quite I'M
expectedly. This habit is certainly hos
pitable, but it is not popular with wives.
One court day the genial judge in
vited q number of his legal brethren to
dine with him, serenely oblivious of
the fact that his wife was totally I'M
prepared fOr such an incursion. The la
dy, however, was equal to the occasion.
She did not fuss and frown and make
things unpleasant all round. On the
contrary, she accepted the situation
with a good grace and made the best
of it.
Tho modest meal was served as
promptly as possible, and though it was
not IL sumptuous banquet it was at
least agreeable to guests and host. When
dinner was over, just before leaving
the gentlemen to their wine and cigars,
the lady rose and said:
Gentlemen, | wish to say one word.
You have dined today with the judge;
will you do me the honor of dining to-
morrow with me?"
A chorus Of applause greeted this
speech, and next day the lady welcomed
her husbands friends to dinner worthy
of such an accomplished hostess. Elk

Polar Origin of Humanity.

Believers in the Laplace theory of the
origin of the sun and the planets are of
the opinion that the original stock of
the human race first came into existence
at the poles of the earth and gradually
moved out toward the equator. All be-
levers in the nebular hypothesis are fast
conforming their ideas to the belief that
this earth was once redhot ball of fire,
and that the human race came into eX-
istence as soon as a portion of the globe
had cooled sufficiently to admit Of their
living upon it. The portion most likely
to cool first was the poles, and the evil
dence deduced frOm$nis speculation is
that upon which is founded the idea of
the polar origin of the human family.
On the above theory is explained the
mysterious finding of the remains of
tropical birds, beasts and plants far up
in the polar regions. If it is really true
that the poles were the first habitable
spots on the earth's surface, and that
they were rendered SO by the globe first
cooling at the spots least affected by
sunshine, it must be also true that the
polar regions are gradually encroaching
upon the temperate and torrid zones.

come will fill the Indian ocean and gulf

A young lady sends to the Chicago
Tribune little anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln. She says that a good many
years ago, when her father was a
small boy, her grandfather brought
Abraham Lincoln Dome one night to
supper. He was then a poor young
man practising law IN Woodford
County, Illinois.
It was cold, stormy night; and
grandma hurried around getting sup
per. To have something nice, she
opened jar Of preserved peaches.
Lincoln spent a long time over his
peach, and finally left it on the plate.
"Grandma noticed this; and, as
soon as he and grandpa had gone into
another room, she went to look at the
dish. Then she saw that instead of a
peach, she had given the visitor tt e
little muslin sack which contained
the peach kernels and the spice. She
fastened into the other room, and be-
gan an apology; but Mr.. Lincoln said:
That was all right, Mrs. Perry
My mot her used the same thing, and
it was So good that I wanted to get
all the juice out Of it'''

are made in variety of forms. In a
common form the glasses are in two
parts, joined at the center, the upper
halves being Of a power suited to dis
lance, and the lower halves to read
ing. Sometimes a piece is cut out Of
the glass and piece of a different
power is put in it's place. Sometimes
the variation is made by cementing a
wafer of glass over part of the spec
tacle glasses. There are made also
spectacles with crescent shaped
glasses, the upper part of the glass
being cut out entirely; the wearer
reads through the glasses and looks
over them to see at distance. There
are spectacles called clerical glasses.
that are like glasses with the upper
halves cut off; the wearer looks down
through the glasses to read. and he
can see over them without effort
when he looks at the congregation.

If YOU WISH TO BE HAPPY.

Beware of the man with two faces.
Persevere against encouragement.
Take cheerful view of everything.
In all promised pleasures put self
last.
Trust in God and mind your own
business.
Cultivate short memory as to all
unkindness.
Do not talk of your private, person
al or family matters.
Give your tongue more holiday than
your hands or your eyes.
Examine your own shortcomings
rather than those of others.
Act as if you expected to live hun
dred years, but may die to- morrow.
Compare your manifold blessings
with the trifing annoyances of each
day.
Do the duty that lies nearest you;
the second duty will already have be-
come clearer.
Never reply in kind to sharp or
angry word; it is the second word that
makes the quarrel.
