the true newspaper instinct.
Every position on a newspaper, from
office boy UP to managing editor. has
been filed by Joe Howard. Towards
column" would be welcome acquisi-
ton to any journal on this continent.
But they all can't get 1t.
AS a reconteur Howard Ia without an
equal-not excepting Col. Robert Inger-
soil and Chauncey NJ. Depew. says a
writer In Metropolitan Magazine. And
then Mr.. Howard has the advantage of
at least one OF them in age, though
you'd never think SO till you heard him
recount things away back In the fifties.
An article which he contributed to q
Western paper on"The Tragedies In New
York Journalism" shows what keen
eye he has kept on happenings and
what serviceable memory he has.
This. combined with rare descriptive
powers and unlimited vocabulary,
places him In advance OF others who
would recount the notable things which
have happened during his eventful ca
reer.
Joe Towards participation In the his
tory OF the late rebellion is not matter
that need be left untold. His author
ship of the famous proclamation. which
created greater sensation than any
thing of the kind during that memoir
able contest, was not known at the time.
but has since served to place his name
in patriotic chronicles. And yet he Is
the most unpretentiOus OF men. Fam
Gus literary and newspaper men call ON
him often and are accorded kind re-
he gives to the most diflident represen-
tative OF a provincial newspaper.
He will probably be at work until he
drops the quill! for the shroud. And
this, by the way, suggests that. although
clinging to old newspaper traditions, he
is anything but an opponent of news
paper progress. for he has in reality
already dropped the quill and dictates
the great mass of matter which he turns
out to q stenographer. When he re-
lapses into the use OF the pen it is to
lend weight to a request for the ap-
pointment of some itinerant represen-
tative OF the press in whom he takes a
kindly interest.
Towards success with the people Is
due to the fact that he writes for the
people. He takes them into his conf
dence; he chats with them: he praises
them; he scolds them; he laughs with
them: and sometimes he cries with
them. That is why the people have q
soft place in their hearts for anything

little by little, they began to think it
would be a good idea to initiate the
royal example. They went to work
with the tools the whites supplied. and
before long number of them had be-
come very fair masons and stonecut-
tiers. The king also had several very
good wagon roads built between some OF
his chief towns.
There was not bridge in the coun-
try. and Mr.. Zig, the Swiss engineer.
told the king that he ought to have q
bridge over river leading to the re-
Gently conquered Gala province, which
in flood time could not be forded.
Make me model of what you cali a
bridge" the king said.
The same day one of Mr.. Ilg's assist
ants appeared before the king with the
proposed plan of the bridge. The king
was much pleased with it, and ordered
that the work be carried out at once.
The difficulties were very great. 1t
was necessary to transport trunks Of
trees distance of ten miles in the burn
ing sun. When the bridge was COM
pleted the king and his subjects would
not risk their lives on it until the Swiss
had given proof of it's solidity by draw
ing very heavy loaded wagons over it.
Great was the joy of the king when he
and his people were able to utilize the
bridge.
Later the Swiss built blast furnace
for the smelling of iron, flour mill
and baking ovens. From time to time

the King sent one or the other of them
to Europe to purchase material. 1t has
looked as though the work Of these few
Europeans would give civilization a
considerable impetus among the health
full highlands of Ethiopia.
But King Menelek has not lived on
good terms with the Italians. He has
never ceased to regret the day in 1889
when he signed treaty practically
placing Abyssinia under the protection
Of Italy. He has said, in later years,
that the Italians asked an inch and took
an ell. He has accused them of at
tempting to absorb his country and
make him merely a figurehead. That
Is the cause of the present war, in
which the Italians, from the start, are
rapidly getting the best Of the fighting.
The Italians assert, not only that the
King violated his treaty, but also that
he prevented Italian traders from doing
business. They have gone into his
country, to buy ivory, and they say that
the King sent his agents far and wide
to intercept ivory caravans, and when
they reached the Italians they had no
ivory to sell, because the King had
bought every tusk.
Now that the King is dead the
Italians will probably have no diff
Guilty, as far as the natives are con-
cerned, in doing what they please with
Abyssinia.-New York Sun.

Queer Cause for Suicide.

Frank E. Metzger, prominent mer-
chant of Uniontown, Ala, committed
suicide by jumping into cistern in his
yard. His brother had fought street
duel with the chief Of police. The
chief was killed, and Metzger, who is
slightly wounded, has since been in
Jail. Frank was greatly exercised over
the affair, and went to the authorities
and begged them to allow him to take
his brothers place in Jail, and undergo
whatever punishment he might have
put on him. His offer was refused.
and he then declared that rather than
live to see his brother suffer he pre-
ferred death.

strong inclination for the cloister, she
was diverted from the purpose of seek
Ing seclusion in nunnery by the be-
lief that she could accomplish more for
religion by marrying a clergyman, and
at 20 she became the wife Of Rev. Frank
Besant, brother Of the novelist. Walter
Besant. She soon discovered that her
husbands life did not conform to the
lofty ideas of perfect religion which
she had formed, and resented the disap-
pointment by not only refusing to go
to church, but by resisting his authority
as husband, and finally becoming a
hereto. The result was n separation.
then divorce. and, after that, all sorts
Of trials and troubles for the woman,
which eliminated in making her a
leader among the socialists Of London,
a colaborer with Charles Bradlaugh in
promulgating the doctrines OF infidelity
and subsequently the disciple of and
then the successor of Nine. Blavatsky
as the leader and teacher of theosophy.
Mrs. Besnnt has had trouble life.
and it must be said that she has borne
her trials with much fortitude. Her
association with Bradlaugh. which was
maintained without interruption until
lis death, resulted in ostracism from
society and all sorts OF condemnation.
from conventional people. But she pur-
sired her course unmindful Of all this.
and even in the face of the fearful pro-
testations Of her mother, whom she
dearly loved, and who is said to have
died Of broken heart because OF the
actions OF her daughter. 1t is through
Mrs. Moncure ID. Conway that she be-
came acquainted with Bradlaugh, and
through William T. Stead that she sub
sequently met Nine Blavatsky.
But Mrs. Besant's life has not been
barren of good results. She became the
champion of the poor in London, and
by her tongue and pen did much toward
ameliorating their condition in life.
She procured for the overworked and
underpaid match girls such reforms in
their work and wages as materially I'M
proved their condition. 1t was due
mainly to her agitation that John Burns
was given Il seat in parliament, and
under her guidance the working people
Of London were organized, with the re-
suit that many Improvements in their
social condition followed. During this
period OF her labor she stood one night
at the head Of an army OF workingmen
in Trafalgar square and when regi-
ment of soldiers charged upon her force
with fixed bayonets. she stood her
ground, remarking they had right to
be there. Her bravery won for her the
admiration Of all England.
After this Mrs. Besant became the pu-
Pill of Huxley. and under his tutorship
studied science and philosophy. She
first visited this country in March. 1891.
and delivered several lectures. In 1893
she made her second visit as delegate
| of the theosophists in the Congress of
| Religions at the Worlds Fair. Her
