prison and was feeling homeless and
forlorn But the other three GLACIERS
friends were drunk, and not only drunk
but dangerous. 1t is natural for man
of few ideas, when he is drunk, to break
windows, even undergraduates at Ok
ford and Cambridge occasionally ex-
press their appreciation of good liquor
in that way. You can produce such
good effect with so little exertion. But
it ought to be done decently and with
good humor; as a greeting to a friend,
not as an insult to an enemy Now of
the three heroes who distinguished
themselves, two went to bite the con-
stables who took charge of. them, and
the third made a determined attempt
at suicide in the police cell. A sort of
futile turbulence was the prominent fea-
ture of all three cases, as it has been of
many others lately.-Pall Mall Gazette.

THE CONQUEROR

I saw an angel with majestic mien
And radiant brow, and smile divinely
sweet;
Strong human passions writhed beneath
his feet
There, too, expired those coward faults
which screen
Themselves behind inheritance, and lean
On dead men for their strength, and
think 1t meet.
ALL. all lay PROSTATE, owning their de-
feat.
Then to the spirit with the eyes serene
1 cried aloud, in wonder and in awe;
ooh. mighty One, who art thou, that thy
glance
Can circumvent heredity, cheat chance
And conquer Nature? What thine occult
law?
Art thou incarnate Force-the Over
Soul?"
The angel answered, ST am Self-Control."

There has been a curious outburst of
sheer aimless rowdyism in London late
ly. One symptom Of it is the large num-
ber of fines inflicted for hustling way

Doctors are often handicapped by the
mere fact that when treating the diseases of
women, they suggest and insist on " exam-
nations " and local treatment" A great
many Of them 90 not know that this is abso-
luteiy unnecessary. Many woman has
been thrown into a dangerous state Of ner-
vous excitement by the mere suggestion Of
such treatment Many women lie 10 the
doctor That sounds hard. but il is un-
doubtedly true. They know that If they
admit certain symptoms that the doctor
will inevitably insist on an examination.
They do not give him all the facts in the
case, and so he works III the dark. Quite
often the doctor is too busy and too hurried
. to make the necessary effort TO obtain the
facts He frequently treats symptoms for
what they appear 10 be on the surface, when
the real cause and the real sickness Is deeper
and more dangerous. A arrangement of
the distinctly feminine organs will derange
the whole body. The woman herself may
not know exactly what is the matter with
her but whenever she is sick, there are two
things she should look out for first. One is
what is called female weakness ;" the
other is constipation, for these two things
frequently go together. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vori.e Prescription is designed for the cure
of diseases and disorders Of women, and II

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.

The light on the mountain falls aslant,
The birds in the bush are still
The cricket chirps in the pasture plant
When the cows come over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves,
A pale star mounts the sky;
The squirrels rustic the golden sheayes
When the COWS are passing by.
Over the valleys the shadows creep,
DARK mn 6 the green of the pine;
Down in the garden the honeybees sleep,
Missing the breath Of the kline.
The tinkle Of bells is sweet to my ear.
But sweeter the words of a song
That the singer Is slowly bringing near
As she follows the cows along.
She sings ofa lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam;
And her cheek grows red when we meet NJ las
As the cows are nearing home

Raleigh, N. c., April 1.-THE
conference committees of the Repub-
lican and populist parties, appointed
by their respective executive COM
mittees to meet and determine
whether there should be a continu-
ancc of fusion in North Carolina, as
carried out successfully two years
ago, failed to agree after prolonged
session. The Populists demanded
the Governor and submitted reso-
luton declaring for free coinage OF
silver. The silver resolutions made
it obligatory to vote only for silver
candidates for office. The Repub-
licans refused to accept the PROPOSE
tion. They proposed to have an
equitable distribution of officers on
the State ticket, the Republicans
taking the Governor, and no fusion
on the electoral ticket. The Popu
lists refused to accept the Republican
terms and both committees adjourned,
failing to reach all agreement.

The Isle Of Cuba.

England and Australia are the
only islands that exceed Cuba IN nat
nral resources, and the former would
not be an exception if it were not for
the riches of her prodigious deposits
Of coal and iron. Under all the dis
advantages that misgovernment can
ipaict, and with a vast share OF her
soil untouched, Cuba produces, when
not wasted by war, about one hun
dred million dollars worth Of sugar
and tobacco annually, and there is a
prodigal luxuriance of fruits and
forests, while her mountains are
reservoirs of minerals, and her rivers
and shores swarm with fish. There
is no more exquisite features IN any
landscape than the royal palms, and
the orange trees, never touched with
frost, are loaded with golden spheres,
and the clusters of bananas cling
under feathery foliage, while the
green cocoanuts hang high, each con-
tanning quart Of pure, sweet water;
and where the soil is not a deep,
dark red it is so black that it shines
as if oiled. Around the coral shores
is the snowy surf seas matchless IN
color, and over all the exalted arch OF
the sky, with delicate tint of indl-
go, spotted with stars that are
strangely brilliant, and the process

Tillmaa's Red Hot Speech.
He Stirs Up Kansas to a High Pitch
of Excitement.


Wichita, Kan, April l7.-An I'M
mense audience greeted Senator Till
man, who spoke here tonight. Ex-
Governor LewelliDg introduced the
speaker, who made the reddest and
hottest speech ever made here. He
said that the Republican who voted
for Cleveland for change jumped
from the frying pan into the fire, and
that it was the hottest fire that they
ever saw. He said Cleveland was a
"tin god," and an animal with
cloven foot. He said that Carlisle
was so deep in infamy that he did
not want to speak about him. The
people fairly went wild when he said
that no man cold be appointed to tie
Supreme Court unless he was known
to be friendly to the corporations.
He said that if the Democratic COL
vention at Chicago did not declare
for free silver, he would pick up bis
hat and leave the party. He was es-
pecially bitter against the lawyers in
Congress, and did not hesitate to say
that while many of them were paid
by the people they were paid better
by the corporations and worked for
those who paid the best. He ap-
pealed to the Populists to vote for
the Democratic party, if it declared
for free silver and succeed in driv-
ing Cleveland and Carlisle into the
Republican party, where they be-
!onged. He made a daring, courage
Gus and bitter speech and was ap-
plauded vociferously.
At the end of his speech nearly
every man in the audience raised his
right hand to indicate that he was for
free silver at the ratio Of 16 to l.
