WHO CINDERELLA REALLY WAS.

Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears
In Sacred Hindoo Books.
The story of Cinderella is substantial
ly the same as that told of Rhodopis
and Psammitichus by Elian, who lived
i'll Rome in the third century of the
Christian era. Tho story, as told by
Elan, is that while Rhodopis was bath
ing. an eagle carried away one Of her
sandals and dropped it near the feet of
Psammitichus, king Of Egypt, who, like
Cinderella's prince, was struck by its
dilninutive size, caused the maiden to
be sought for, and married her when
found, Make tho sandal a glass slipper
and add the ugly sisters for the sake Of
contrast, and the stories are much the
same. The glass slipper, by the way, is
an acknowledged fiction, being in real
ity mistranslation Of "pantoufle en-
vair" Ga fur slipperl, and not zen
verre. -
This, at all events, is what is claimed
by Perrault in his "Contes de Fees, :"
Both these stories have doubtless a com
mon origin, but it is necessary to go
further back in the history Of the litera-
ture to find ito people who lived in
a period compared with which that of
even Elan is quite modern. 1t is il the
Vedas, the four sacred books of the Hin
docs, that the origin is to be found.
After what has already been said, it
will not be surprising to learn that Gin
derella is a dawn maiden, her sisters
being the powers Of darkness, who
compel her 70 wait upon them, keeping
her hidden from sight. The dawn maid
en- breaks from her bonds, and capti-
Yates the sun, remaining with him for
time. But she cannot linger with him
in the heavens; she can remain only
until certain hour. Once she fingers
too long, and, hurrying back, leaves on
the path she has taken token of her
visit in the form Of fieecy cloud,
which had borne her aloft when she left
the regions Of darkness. The sun, deter
mined to find her, sends ont his ennis
saries (the rays of Light, but does not
find her until she appears before him as
the evening twilight. In the Vedas the
prince is called Mira, which is one of
the names given to the sun.-London

she NYanted PInI. CheeI,..

There is a girl ON the North Side who
admiTes pink checks, but she will be
careful after this where she gets them.
On recent afternoon one Of the carettes
was being logged over the holes in the
pavement of Rush street. At Huron
street the wagon was stopped, and a
young woman stepped in and took a
seat near tine center OF the car. She
knew several of the women, and return
ed their bows. She was a pretty girl,
fashionably gowned, and was on her
way TO public rehearsal. After sitting
quietly for few minutes, she, in an
apparently unconscious manner, put her
hand to her cheek and gave it a slight
pinch. On her hands were black gloves.
The day was damp and the slightest
trace possible Of the color was left on
her cheek Then she pinched the other
one. a black spot showed. This she
continued until Adams street was reach
ed, and never woman spoke. When
she reached the Auditorium. her checks
were good color, but not what she ex-
pected. Chicago Chronicle.

WIND AND SEA.

The sea i5 u ioyial comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merrimort shines in the dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale rcpose;
BE lays himself down at the feet of the sun,
And shakes al over with glee,
And the broad backed pillows fall faint on the
shore
In the mirth Of the mighty soal
But tho wind Is sad and restless
And curscd with an inward pain
You may harE at win, by valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
He walls on the bcrren mountains
And shricl1s ON the wintry sea-
He sobs in the cedar anil inoans in the piro
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome pre both their voices,
And l1l ow not which is best
The laughter that slips from oceans lips
Or the coi1fortlcss winds unrest.
Theresa palR in all rejoicing,
A Joy in thu heart of pain,
And hewind that sGddens, the sea that glad
dons,
Arc singing the selfsame strain.

AT EAST ST. LOUIS.
The Destruction Fully as Bad as in
the Big City Over The River.
About $50 Supposed to be Dead.

East St. Louis, ILL.,, May 2S.-East
St. Louis is in ruin. The cyclone which
swept down upon the city last night OBJ
liberated block after block Of business
houses and dwellings and left behind
in its red trail of death scores of human
beings buried beneath the walls of fiat
tened buildings or crushed TO death in
the streets by the flying debris. The
impoverished morgues and hospitals
are fairly choked with dead, some crush
ed and battered out of all human shape
and through these morgues flow a
steady stream of hysterical women and
grim-faced men looking for their miss
ing ones. 1t is almost impossible to
make accurate estimate of those killed.
At the various morgues and about ST
Marys hospital there are fifty-siX. Six
are in the Big Four freight house ruins;
how many more there are scattered
about the city in private houses it is i'm
possible to tell. but conservative esti-
mate would place he total number at
least one hundred and fifty.
The scene is simply appalling. From the
river bank TO the National stock yards. a
distance of over mile, scarcely a build
ing Is left standing.

A NARROW GUAGE PLATFORM
Joshua P. lowering, Of Baltimore,
Nominated Unanimously
For President by the Prohibitionists
on a Platform Which Recognizes
Nothing but Prohibition, Even
Turning Down Worlan's Suffrage.
A Sketch Of the Candidate.

Pittsburg. Pa, May 2S.-It was $50
O'Clock before the second days session
of the Prohibition national convention
was called to order. The attendance at
that hour was light. as many OF the
delegates had been laboring in commit
tees until the early morning hours.
When comparative quiet had been
obtained. Rev. Gideon P. Macklin, of
Ohio. offered prayer.
A resolution was then presented eX
pressing sympathy for the sufferers of
the St. Louis cyclone. and it was adopt
ed by a standing vote.
Mrs. Frances e Beauchamp, Of Lex
ingtOn. Ky, presented a memorial from
the w C. T. IT,. adopted at the national
convention in Baltimore last fall The
resolution re affirmed allegiance to the
Prohibition party as the only political
party with courage to speak out boldly
in favor of woman suffrage and the to-
tai annihilation of the liquor traffic
A request was also made that the
name of the Home Protection party be
adopted and that the convention adept
measures looking more to the protec-
ton of the homes and the care of the
young. A committee OF five was ap-
pointed to draw up resolutions embody-
ing the requests of the ladies.
The Commute on Platform was then
asked TO make its report. Dr. I. X.
Funk. chairman of the committee.
stated that the narrow gauge and
broad gauge factions did not exactly
agree and that a minority report would
be submitted.
The majority, or narrow gauge re-
port, declared for prohibition and wo-
man suffrage. while the minority re-
port favored free silver, besides taking
in all the issues in which the western
delegates believe Ex-Governor st.
John read the minority report, and al
most every sentence was applauded.
He moved that the report be incorpor-
ated as part of the majority report,
and Homer Castle moved to lay the
report on the table. The last motion
was defeated by 492 to $40 and was
signal victory for the broad gaugerS, or
silver men.
The motion to take up the report sec
ton by section was then carried. The
first seven planks. including the wo-
mans suffrage plank. were adopted
without much opposition, after which
the convention took a recess for lin
ner.
When the convention reassembled at
2:45 p. M, Mr.. st. John announced that

COUNCIL AND rANES.

levy TO where it found it upon its en-

Il cents last year. In other words, it
took Il cents on the 100 more than It's
predecessor out Of the pockets of the

leaving worse than nothing to show for

oen6acity. or ignorance of city finance,
or both. rings tne changes on the alleged
large ..Dsmocratic deficits" with which
II saws this Council was confronted.
Right here we would call the attention
Of the esteemed organ TO the fact that
The finances Of the last Council wsre in
the hands of a Republican chairman of
the Finance Committee Of thas body,
who had his own way entirely. and who
is one Of the ablest fnanciers in the Re-
publican party and was elected by the
present body to preside over the Second
Branch. But aside from this placing
&C. ahe responsibility where it belongs,
;he old debts confronting the present
Council were no greater nor more press
ing than those which confronted its
predecessor, which found no occasion
TO raise the tax rate, but, on the con-
erary. found some surplus money for
needed Improvements.
The present body, which the organ
congratulates on its business meth
DDS" actually did not know where it
stood financially for six months after
its induction into office. when it found
all the money spent. The indignant
public refused to sanction the loan it
asked. Thereupon it raised the tax rate
twenty-five per cent. And what has the
city to show for it to-day? Not thing,
while some of the departments are in
worse shape than they ever were.
AS TO this boosted reduction of the
tax rate to the former figures, everyone
knows it was done by allowing the gas
works TO go into debt for absolutely
necessary repairs. etc, and the refusal
TO appropriate something over $4,000
for this purpose BY thus robbing and
Gripping the most important depart
ment of the city Council is enabled to
make the bluff of taking off the IA cents
increase in the tax levy. which its reck-
less extravaganza and loose and unbus-
inesslike methods made necessary.
The people are not quite so easily de-
ceived as the organ imagines.
