Proved by de Editah. Sab, OBJ de
CulIud Papah, Sab.
The members of the Topeka club are
having fun with Col departed his
Raiment" Jellz, editor of humorous
colored paper.
Some of the members thought it would
be a good joke to have Jeltz write a
commendatory notice of Col. Rossington
and the necessary arrangements were
made. Then the editor was requested to
say some nice things about H. P. Dillon
and the colonel" retired to his sanctum
TO write and the following gem was pro-
duced:
There are many prominent members
of the Topeka club whose appearance is
green with envy, because their member
and friend, Mr.. W. II. Rossington was
attacked by Mr.. Isenhart"
Then the fluent editor rolled I'D his
sleeves and turned off column editorial
on the subject of Col. Rossington, of
which the following is the introduction:
Nothing in the past several months
has caused the editor to be more envious
than the letter written to County At
torney Stafford, by one s. B. Isenhart,
openly, in which he makes grave and
bold charges against one Hon. w. IT.
Rossington, of the Topeka club. In his
letter he says Hon. w. Il. Rossington
should be arrested"
In another place appeared the follow
ing commendatory notice of Mr. Dillon:
"Hon. Hiram P. Dillon. the affable
gentleman and attorney for the Union
Pacific, is also a member of the excellent
Topeka club"
All these notices were posted on the
black board at the club, and the victims
started out to find the man who inspired
the pen of the bright colored editor.
1t was finally agreed that General A.
l. Williams was the guilty individual
AID Mr.. Dillon proceeded to Law his
plans to get even. He secured a copy of
Sir. Williams address delivered before
the State Bar association and forwarded
1t to Jeltz for review. This review will
no doubt be Interesting in view of the
fact that the address is said to be one of
the most brilliant ever delivered in the

THE JOUR DEs morris IN PARIS.
It Costs $50 a Month for Flowers
for Young Mackay's Tomb.

It Costs 50, 900 a Month for Flowers
for Young Mackay's Tomb.
Winter has come upon Paris in its
most unpleasant form-that of icy driZ-
zle. 1t interfered on Sunday with pill
grimages to the cemeteries, says cor
respondent of the London Daily News.
Tens of thousands wended their way
there in the morning before the rain
began to fall. The graves were less
richly decorated with flowers than
usual. This season chrysanthemums
are more than twice the price they
were last winter. The long drought
interfered with the growth of these
flowers. The intramura1 cemeteries
are the most adorned. A perpetual
grave of two square yards now costs
6 AZ, and one of ten yards $40. Rich
people only can lie there, and nobody
is sure that they will not be disturbed.
The city has right to run new thor
oughfare across a cemetery without
giving compensation, but it must bear
the expense of transporting the re-
mains and rebuilding the tombs. The
tomb of Marie BashkirtsheH at Passy
was one of the sights of the day, orna-
mented with white chrysanthemums
that looked soft as falling snowfiakes.
M Theirs tomb, which is also that of
Nine. Theirs and her mother, was re-
markable for its wealth of fresh roses.
Nine. Dosne devotes her time and
much of her fortune to a rose garden
and greenhouses to keep this grave per-
petually covered with flowers, but she
is most lavish on the Jour des Morris.
The coffin of the late Mr.. J. w. Mack
ay, now lying in a vault of st. Angus
tins church, was not to be seen. It
will be transported to Greenwood GENE
terry, United States, when Mrs. Mackay
has recovered strength enough to at
tend the second funeral. Meanwhile a
florist contracts to keep the vault deco
rated with flowers at the cost of 6 900
a month. The family, on their side,
constantly send choice flowers.

Last year when MarshalIs band gave
its annual concert at Hamilton hall, the
two men were discussing the affair.

man, "The music won't sound like any
thing in the,hall because the roof is away
too low. I'll tell you what's the matter,
john" exclaimed the leader of the Mo-
docs enthusiastically, "if you fellows
will get a little style about you and go
down to the Grand next time, will give
you So for two seats"
Now, John Marshall is not an ele-
phant but like one hs has a long mem

this year he walked into Holman's store
and showed two tickets at him and called
for two seats

Tbe Famous Boniface's Opinion Var1eG
When Men Were of Different Rank.
A Virginia representative tells this
story about John Chamberlin sit was
rainy afternoon several years since and
the Indictment elements proSaced such a
raw and chilling state of the weather
that few people ventured outdoors.
Cham berlin's, usually the haunt OF
bright and congenia1 spirits, was almost
deserted. It's proprietor and Lieutenant
Lucian Young, the well known naval
officer, were seated III one of the bay
windows and had the whole apartment
to themselves. Their conversation turn
ed upon art as exhibited at the capital
III the shape of equestrian statues.
FINALLY Chamberlin said: OF all
che works of the sculptor in that line,
think the one of the horse which Gen
eral Thomas bestrides at the circle
named in his honor is the best executed.
It seems to me perfect equine figure,
and is far superior to any similar bronze
counterfeit of warrior and charger. It
doesn' take an artist to tell its superb
GRITTY any more than it does to tell that
some of the others are rank.
L quite agree with you, said Lieu
tenant Young. I've always maintained
that it was the finest of all the statues
here
about ten days after this conversa-
ton occurred Lieutenant Young, Mr..
Chamberlin and the late Senator Beck
of Kentucky were seated in the same
room, when, curiously enough, the talk
once more turned on Washington stat
uary, and the lieutenant made some
very decided statements as to the rela-
tive merits of the various cast pictures.
The senator, being in jocular mood,
challenged pretty nearly everything the
officer said and emphatically denied
that the statue of Thomas was the best
work, considered artistically. Young re-
iterated that it was and offered to bet
bottle of wine to support his contention.
This offer the senator readily accepted.
Done, said Lucian, and I'm will
ing to leave it to Chamberlin, here, to
say whether or not the Thomas statue
doesn't excel anything Of it's kind in
Washington.
"'We'll leave it to Chamberlin, then,
assented Senator Beck. What say you,
John?'
"'It's perfect monstrosity, replied
that gentleman in his ca1mest tones.
of all the poor things here it is abso-
lutely the worst. It ought to be dumped
into the river.
''The Kentucky statesman laughed
long and heartily. and as the wine was
consumed his merriment increased.
Finally, with parting shot at Lieuten-
ant Young to study art little before
being SO brash in criticism, he left the
house. He had no sooner gone than the
pent up Indignation of Lucian Young
burst out.
"'You are nice fellow, John Cham

You now are, you claimed that the

NETEORIC BUBBLE FALLS.
A Wonderful Sight at Michigan
Town.

N1RvANA, Mich. Jan. ga remark
able phenomenon occurred about half a
mile east of the Nirvana station last
night. A large fire ball about the size of
a bushel basket fell to the earth, at an
angle of about twenty degrees. When it
struck the snow it arose and foated of
at the same angle it fell, until it disap-
peared behind the hills.
It is thought to have been one of the
meteoric bubbles which are sometimes
seen in this latitude, varying in size
from hat to the one here mentioned,
and consisting of a phosphorescent gas,
inclosed by a thin film. In the year
1882 thousands of these meteoric bub-

Much excitement at present exists in
railroad circles at Wellington. Kan, on
account of the discovery of a scheme to
defraud the Santa Fe company in which
several officials of that company were
interested.
1t appears that George II. Hunter,
president of the Hunter Milling com
pany of Wellington, who operates a
feed store and coal yard in connec-
ton with his mill, entered into scheme
with tho Santa Fe officials to have
a large quantity of hay, which he had
purchased in the Cherokee strip south of
Hunnewell, delivered at Wellington
without charge. The hay was delivered
as arranged, but the matter was imme-
diately made known to the higher Santa
Fe officials by Ed Beard, an employe of
the company, who was aware of the ar
rangement.
AS a result Agent ?rudy, Freight
Clerk Igou and both yardmasters at Well
lington have been discharged; also the
agent at Hunnewell, and Conductor
Ryan whose run is between Wellington
and Hunnewel.

ton caused the excitement, has left for

The Prelate Thought the Premier Pre-
ferred Followers to Equals.
The anniversary of the death of Car
dinal Manning, which was comment
GRATED with great pomp ut the pro.
cathedral, Kensington, occurring, as it
does, at moment when people are
reading Mr.. Edward Purcell's life OF
the archbishop, focuses attention once
more on one of the most remarkable
Englishmen of this century. For man
to rise from modest clerkship in the
colonial Office to n seat in the sacred col
lege, passing on his journey thither
through the calm waters of an Anglican
archdeaconry, ana later on through the
fierce fires of the Tractarian movement,
is undoubtedly very extraordinary
achievement. The spiritual and the ma
terial were coeXistent in Manning in
inverse ratio to the opposition usually
met with; for while his daily behavior
was such as is generally associated
in the popular mind with the habits of
an angel, the "self-will, despotic tenn
per and love of power" which distin-
guished his mind are hardly qualities
to be called celestial. His worldly wis
dom prevented him from ever joining
the unpopular party in any movement.
He loved to dominate, but it must be on
the winning side. Ambition was the
lodestar of his life. To be always first,
never the second. He said, in explana-
ton of his differences with Mr.. Glad
stone: "Mr. Gladstone is substantive,
and likes to be attended with adjectives.
And l am not exactly an adjective" In
the last seven words may surely be
found the keynote of his career.-Lon-

Kicked Him Out.

In the palmy days Of West Indian
prosperity, before the punchbowl and
snuffbox gave place t. the degenerate
cocktail and cigarette, it was consid-
cred beneath the dignity of gentle
man to drink before midday or to be
sober after midnight. One evening two
specimens of this extinct class Of gen.
tjlity named Hodgso1 and Forbes went
into the country for drive in car
riage belonging to Forbes. Calling at
the estates of several friends on the way,
they, as usual, tapped the punchbowl
vigorously at each stoppage, and, hav-
ing at last started for home, both fell
asleep. When still u couple of miles
from town they awoke simultaneously
and stared at each other. "Who are
you?" said Hodgson sand what are
you doing in my carriage?" Forbes
looked around obviously and muttered:
81 don't know" "Then, sir, will
thank you to get Quit" The vehicle
was stopped and Forbes got out and
proceeded to walk home, while Hodg-
son drove on in carriage which he i'm
agined was his and Forbes did not
know to be his own. The incident Is
SO id to have cemented between the two
an inseparable neutrality-suspicious.
