A HeartIess Arraignment.

"Talk Of irrationality of women, -
said the woman who was managing the
amateur theatricals, "the men beat
them on their own ground sometimes.
The Harvard boys gave performance
here not so very long ago, when they
charged 81 for seats which were not re-
served, but went on the plan of first
come first served. They then evolved
the brilliant idea of selling admission
tickets for 81, not rejecting that, as
there We're no coupons to show, there
was nothing to prevent 81 person
from occupying a So seat. If we had
done it, what howl there would have
been of Just like a woman's idea of
businessl' And at one of our rehearsals
we had lot of college boys who were
to represent crowd. They came in
their ordinary suits. This is winter
scene, said the coach, and want you
to look as though it were cold weather.
You must wear heavy overcoats at the
performance. One youth looked trou-
bled. L haven't a heavy overcoat, he
said. L don't know what I'll do, but, "
Frightening, III put on an extra heavy
undershirt. '"-New York Journal.

The Nav Woman ns a Politician.

"Woman's 8 vote will purify politics. y
This is the new woman's favorite cry.
Not long since prominent equal suf-
frage lecturer, while earnestly setting
forth this claim and enlarging on the
shameless manner in which men con-
duct elections, declared that woman g
chaste and refined influence was the
only thing that could change the pres
ent undesirable condition Of affairs.
She was not ashamed, however, to re-
late, previous to the close of her lecture,
that u short time before her sister had
induced her family's hired man to vote
for certain measure by presenting him
ON the eve of election with half dozen
new shirts made by her own hands. The
absurdity of this incident reached a
climax when it was noticed that in a
large audience of women few saw any
thing wrong in female bribery. The
fair speaker omitted to inform her audi
ence whether or no this was to be the
prevailing mode Of political purification
when one-haf of the burdens Of state
rest ON female shoulders But as women
never lack expedients some purifying
process less laborious than shirtmaking
may soon be devised. Mrs. Frances ID.

There is no doubt in the African mind
Of the want Of alcohol being n real one,
living rs they do in saturated forest
swamps reeking with malaria, their
damp mud walled houses frequently
flooded, they themselves spending the
greater part of their time dabbling about
in the stinking mangrove slime, for five
months in the year wrapped in the al
most continual torFential downpour Of
the west African wet season, which is
followed in the delta by the 80 called
"dry," with it's thick morning and
evening mists, and the air never beyond
dew point. Their food is of poor quality
and insufficient quantity, and notably
deficient in districts near the coast Of
meat Of any kind. l think their desire
for spirits quite reasonable, and that al
cohol taken, as it usually is, in modera-
tion, is anything but deleterious.
When the African cannot get white
mans spirit, min makara" as he calls
it in Calabar, he takes to black mans
spirit, "min effik'' This is a palm
wine, and, although it has escaped the
abuse heaped on rum, it is worse for the
native than rum, for he drinks a dis
gusting quantity of it, for, from the
palm wine, he does not get the stimulat-
ing effect so quickly as from gin or rum,
yet the intoxicating effect is ultimately
severe, and the enormous quantity con-
sumed at one sitting will distribute its
effects over week You can always
tell whether native has had a lass too
much rum or half q gallon or SO too
much palm wine. The rum he soon re-
covers from, while the palm wine keeps
him disgusting nuisance for days,
and the constitutional effects Of it are
worse than those of rum, for it produces
definite type Of renal disease, which,
if it does not cut short the life of the
sufferer in paroxysm, kills him grad
ually with dropsy. Review.

Yankee hustle has perhaps rarely
been better exemplified than in the case
of a sewing machine agent who exploit
ed the vicinity of Dover Me- He tack
led a house in which lived an old bach
elor who hadn't sewing machine. The
agent was persistent and the bachelor
obdurate until finally the latter said he
positively wouldn't buy machine un-
less q woman to run it was also pro-
vided. Then the agent hunted around
and in six weeks had found an elderly
but excellent maiden lady, who had
been waiting for some good man to
speak out to her, and actually succeeded
in getting her married to the bachelor.
Then he made sale of machine,
though it might seem that he ought to
have given one to the bride as pres
ent. This story is vouched for by the
Maine papers. Exchange

more pilgrims, it seemed incredible
that 1t should ever be disturbed!
Only last year, by reason of the
widening Of the street, its demolition
was threatened. Now a bill is to be
presented to the State Legislature by
the Shakespeare Society of New York
to enable the association to purchase
and preserve the place where Poe
spent the last four years of his un-
happy life. 1t is proposed to refurnish
the cottage as nearly like the original
as may be, leaving the tiny windows,
uncurtained, replant cherry trees and
trim the vines, hang bird cages in the
portico and procure a cat as nearly
like the beloved "Catarina" that warm
ed the bosom of the dying Virginian
as possible-just poverty and piles Of
manuscripts! 1t will not be difficult
then to imagine the playful, witty, af-
fectionate, alternately docile and way
ward genius; the gentle, fragile wife
and the adoring mother-large featur-
ed, capable, benevolent Mrs. Glen, that
made up that curious household.

! The following is given rs specimen
Of baboo pleader's eloquence:
My learned friend, with mere wind
from teapot, thinks to browbeat me
from my legs. But this is mere gorilla
warfare. i stand under the shoes of my
client and only seek to place my bone
of contention clearly in your honor S eye.
My learned friend vainly runs amuck
upon the sheet anchors OF mycase. Your
honor will be pleased enough to observe
that my client is widow, poor chap
with one post mortem son. A widow Of
this country, your honor will be pleased
enough to observe, is not like n widow
of your honor's country. a widow Of
this country is not able to eat more than
one meal u day, or to wear clean clothes,
or to look after man. So my poor eli
ent had not such physic or mind as to be
able to assault the lusty complainant, "
Proceeding, the pleader said his learn
ed friend had thrown only IAN argu-
ment ad hominy" upon his teeth that
his clent's witnesses were all her own
relations. But he continued.
Their relationship is only homeopath-
ic. So the misty arguments of my learn
ed friend will not hold water. At least
they will not hold good water. Then,
my learned friend has said that there is
on the side of his client respectable
witness-viz, n pleader-and since this
witness is independent, SO he should be
believed. But, your honor, with your
honor's vast experience, is pleased
enough to observe that truthfulness is
not SO plentiful rs blackberries in this
country And l am sorry to say, though
this witness is man of my own feath-
ers, that there are in my profession
black sheep Of every complexion, and
some Of them do not always speak gos-
pei truth. The witness cannot be allow
ed to raise castle in the air by beating
upon bush. So, trusting in that ad-
ministration of British justice on which
the sun never sits, close my case.

dwellings on West Broadway and said,
as he led them through convenient
opening:
81 reckon you might fight here a
month without anybody hearing you.
Could you find anything better'n this?"
Most of the boys were loud in their
praises of the spot but it really seemed
as if Skip fancied it too retired.
He'd rather be where the cops would

was on.

POE COTTAGE AT FORDHAM.

dence.

Plan to Preserve the Poets Lust Resi-.
dence.
Just fifty years ago, In cherry bios
som time, 1916, Edgar Allen Poe, a
half-mad genius, of whom little else
was known except that he was poor,
moved from Amity street, New York,
to the suburban village of Fordham.
on the Kingsbridge road Although at
best but mean dwelling, the cottage
was the pleasantest retreat he had ever
known. 1t was one and a half story
shingled Dutch house, containing three
rooms and a sleeping closet. A sit
ting-room was on one side of the little
hall and a kitchen on the other. The
furniture was of the simplest In the
other, which was laid with straw mat
| ting, were only light stand with pres
entation volumes, some hanging book
shelves and four Enthusiastically
nothing else
Above was Poe's room-a low
square, cramped chamber, lighted by
two windows like portfolios, and fur
nished with deal table and chair
and the fanciful portrait of the "loved
and lost Leonore." Adjoining this was
the sleeping closet, where the child
wife, Virginia, drew her difficult and
failing breath, within sound of the
pen that wrote immortal tales and
poems and could not win bread for
her.
SO bare and dwarfed within, the oc-
cupants were driven without, where
there was fine spaciousness of view.
A picket fence separated the yard from
the street, and further privacy was
afforded by the hoodlike porch and
the presentation of the gable end of
the house to the highway. Cherry
trees embowered the humble cottage.
The granite of the underlying rock
cropped through the grass, and
stones throw east of the porch, then
as now overgrown with vines, rose the
ledge itself, overllung by signing pines,
And looking far off, across the mead
ows, woods and villages and Harlem
bridge, a glimmer of ocean lay on the
horizon.
The cottage is still there, at the top
of Fordham Hill, almost at the ex-
treme limit of northern New York
City. The cherry trees, whose balmy
blossoms so soothed the sore lungs of
poor Virginia, are gone. Neighboring
and pretentious houses crowd and
dwarf the quaint cottage, abe signing
pines and the rocky ledge have made
way for streets and buildings, and
the eastern horizon. But thousands
have climbed the winding stair to
see the room where '"The Bells" "An-
mabel Lee" and "Eleanor" were writ

shines are few, annually visited by

A Bad Tempered Young Man Gets a Les
son In Politeness.
A young fellow with bulging eyes,
bloodshot and heavy from loss of sleep,
swung on to the rear end of south
bound Clark street cable car. 1t was
early and the car was filled with young
women going to their work. The young
fellow held between his thick, feverish
lips long, dark brown cigarette, and
he sucked at it nervously.
The conductor, little pink checked
Irishman, reminded his passenger that
smoking was not allowed on the rear
platform.
"Oh, that's all right, said the young
man and continued to smoke.
"No, it's not all right, replied the
conductor, "and you will have to go
forward, stop smoking here or get off !"
The young man looked down at the
little conductor moment, shrugged his
shoulders and started forward. AS he
passed through the car he pulled away
at his cigarette, and by the time he
reached the front door the car was full

were coughing. Disregarding their in
dignant looks, he turned as he reached
the door, blew mouthful Of smoke in
to the car, and with contemptuous
sneer went outside.
The little Irish conductor had been
watching him. He followed, and going
close to him said:
"If you ever do such thing in my
car again, I'll punch your head off. y
Although the young man was almost
twice as big as the conductor, he made
no reply, but tossed his cigarette away,
and his big red ears began to grow
white.
The conductor left him, but just then
a young man who had been watching
the proceedings with animated interest
came out and tapping the smoker OH
the shoulder said:
II think you had better drop off here. "
The young fellow passed his tongue
over his parched lips, gave startled
glance into the car and dropped. Chi
