wagon carrying As young ladies was an
especially pretty sight. The procession

large building and easily holds 1900 peo-
pie. This room was soon filled to over
flowing and Chairman Ament OF the
county committee called upon NJ. w

or fifteen minutes

for two hours, ably and fully explaining

THE BEEKMAN MATTER
E. G. Gray Says He is Not the Author

peka. Kan.-Dear Sir:-My attention

used as the author or originator OF
petition asking c. NJ. Scott to run for
the legislature in this district in order
to divide the free silver support of Mr..
J. V. Beekman's opponent Your aru-
Gle has neither date nor signature, and
thus justifies the inference that the
comments on the petition are your
own
I desire to say that I am neither the
author of nor responsible for the petit
ton you publish. So far as I know
there is no effort being made to induce
Mr.. Scott to enter the lists or to di-
vide the votes of Mr.. Beekman's oppo-
nent. I fail to see any reason OF neces-
Sity for such action.
I am not member of the state cen
trail committee, neither do I feel the
slightest alarm over Mr.. Beekman's
prospects
I have the honor to be very respect
fully yours,

L,NcoLN's WIDE SYMPATHY.

 Manner.

Horace Greeley once said: doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vi- c;ous, ever accosted or reached forth a l.and to Abraham Lincoln and detect ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
 "Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: MT. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized nay color
 George Bancroft, the historian, all luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuousIy manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: As child, in a dark night, on a rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom

MYSTERIES OF THE LOUVRE.
Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.

Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has "done" the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darkly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead one to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 A recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry IS more recent than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. M. VaugneuX, a well-known critic. believes that many of the bodies of victims killed in the revolution of 1890 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de .Iuillet.
 'sOn the other hand, NJ. Blondel, the architect of the building, and M. Nor mand, the secretary of the Society for Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterranean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine de Medicis cast those who were unfori LII ate enough to incur her hate or fear. A julicious explora. tion would clear up the matter, and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot's original citadel. Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archaeological research, and it would be necessary to appeal for funds to the generosity of the chamber-London Chronicle.

WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT.
Native Offers an Explanation-Britain
 Naval Superiority.


 How was it that half an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to eolonize, to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover- eighty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a matter of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions in Europe dwindled away. The drill sergeant. who is the artificer of German fortunes. has had no ascendency in these islands. whose preoccupations have not risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores, and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

UNPROTECTED GAME.
Suggestions for Sportsmen Who Want to
 Shoot Near Cities.


 A good many shooters are puzzled to know how they can get practice for bird-shooting near the cities during close seasons without paying for prac- tice at the traps.
 There are several kinds of birds which fly in such manner as to require skill in the killing, and are not protected by law at any time. Of course, small gauge gun is best for such practice, as it takes more skill to kill with it than quired the better the practice.
 The kingisher is rapidly-darting flyer, rather shy and hard to kill. With 2S-gauge gun a. shooters abilities would be well tested.
 The English sparrow, if put up badly scared, will give considerable sport, and the man who can get three with two shots out of a small flying flock may regard himself as a good shot. Of course, a man wouldn't aim at the center of the flock, and pull. He aims at par ticular birds, and, if he misses the ones aimed at, he calls the shot miss. Red winged and crow blackbirds fly rap idly, when their nests are not near by. They are not protected, and may be found in partly wooded pastures.
 Some sportsmen may object to this as being useless slaughter, and it would be if the birds were thrown away. He would dress them all, except the king fishers, which taste fshy, and the pot pie they make would be followed by another before long. The English spar rows make fine stew, as the flesh is al ways hard and sweet.

OLD LIGHTHOUSE.

 Good Condition.

Was Built by the Romans and Is Stin In
 Good Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such a beacon would be a practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century, A. D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the Roman dom n;naticn. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Glas. tonbury, in Somerset. are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. C.; but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning Of the uueStion

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property.
