Not Very Encouraging outlook at the
PrintwOrks.


Priniw0rks.
The Mission Fathers, who have been
conducting services in st. AIMS Catholic
Church daily during the past two weeks,
left this morning for other fields OF labor.
These reverend gentlemen have made
many warm friends while here and have
left in the minds OF their hearets high
ideals that certainly tend toward the en-
nobiing OF character.
The print works are at present en-
ploying about one-nslf OF their help and
this ne-half is not working steadily. Ii
is feared by the employees that this-statc
OF affairs will not cnange much until the
presidential election Is settled. Much the
same Kind Of a DEPRESSION was felt four
years ago. IL is evident that men who
have been working for small wages and
who were force 10 undergo the national
financial panic of a year or more ago, are
not, like the AMI, well stor for the
winter of Rdversity.
In lieu of the fact that extensive work
is to be done upon the streets and high
ways OF the town during the coming sum-
mer, IL has beel wisely suggested thai
the prospective work be hastened q little
and cur citizens, who have been forced 10
idieness, be given a chance to earn live
libood.
Rev. Walter Stewart OF Au burn preach

horses and colts 10 allow them to RON

IL the fences are high enough Horses
need recreation Just as well as people, and
il in these recreative walks they should
cat the leaves off the trees. tramp onion
beds or even on the lawn, IL should be ex-
cused on the ground that these creatures
do not know any better.

SLIPS IN SPEECH.
Bad Breaks Are Often the Cause Of Quici
HuuOr

Bad Breaks Are Often the Cause Of Quiet
Humor.
In the hurry of speech and the anxiety
to be polite one is very often liable to
slips Of the tongue which may put an en-
trely different construction upon the SEN
tence than was intended. For example,
upon arriving at your entertainers house,
you say, 81 beg thousand pardons for
coming late" +" and are met by your hostess
with the words "My dear sir. no psrdons
are needed, you can never come too late"
Take another instance. At an evening
party IN Cork lady said to her partner:
"Can you tell me who that exceedingly
plain man is sitting opposite to usP"
That's my brother" 80, beg your
pardon" she replied, much confused, II
did not notice the resem blance.
That was certainly putting ones foot in
it, and yet, perhaps, was not so awkwerd
as the following: After a certain concert
a well known German cantatrice asked
gentleman TO whom she had been intro
duced how he liked her duett. "You
sang charmingly madam. But why do
you select such horrid piece of muster"
SSH, that was written by my late hus-
bsnd!" "Ah, yes, ,oi course, ] did not
mean-But why did you select such an
ass to sing with you?' Zach himmel,
that Is my present husband"
A lady said someth hing the other day
at friends dinner that found a mark
the archer little meant. There were sew
eral strangers present, and In response to
q remark made about a certain lady OF a
certain age the fair guest in question ex-
claimed: "Why. good graciousl she is
as old as the hills! and could not imag
inc in the least w hat had caused the gen.
ernl consternai ion.
She did little later, however, when II
was explained TO her that two maiden
sisters at the table, whose names she did
not catch in the Introduction, were cal
led Hill and were extremely sensitive on
the subject OF sge.
"Here, my dear husband" said low
ing wife. 81 have brought you n little
silver pig for luck It's a charm, you
know. dear, to bring happiness TO a
house"
"Ab, how kind of YOU, darling But
why should 1 need little pig TO bring

An awkward compliment recently
rather disturbed the harmony of we'd
ding breakfast given by a substantial
farmer blessed with five daughters. the
eldest being the bride. A neighboring
young farmer, who was honored with an
invitation thinking, no doubt, he ought
to say something smart and compliment
tary upon the event. addressing the
bridegroom, said: "Well, you have got
the pick OF the batch" The countenance

the employ of Page Richardson 4 60.
of Boston, which firm was eXf H31 ny
remained for three years, visiting Eu-
rome in the interests of the house in
1860. Later he started i'll similar
business for himself in New York city,
following it successfully for nine years.
From 1860 to 1871, in addition to his
large personal business enterprises NJ
Colby. with his brother. Joseph l.. Col
by, had charge of the large government
bonded warehouse, where importationss
of foreign goods entering the port of
New York were held in oond.
1t was in 1870 that Mr.. Colby became
interested in the building of the Wiscon,,
sin Central. and in 1873 he was elected
yice-president of the corporation. AS
one of the heaviest stockholders he trans
ferred his business energies to the devel-
opmcnt of that enterprise, removing TO
Milwaukee in 1874, where he continued
to reside until three years ago. In
1879 he was elected president of the
Central company, succeeding his ia
Their, Gardner Colby, upon the death
of the latter. 1t was to, the busl-
ness energy, sagacity and devotion to
every interest that the. success, OF the
Wisconsin Central was largely due, ana
it was through is efforts and faith in
Wisconcin that railroad was pushed
through the great forests of Northern
Wisconsin. opening up one of the most
extensive lumber and mining sections in
the Northwest.
In addition to his extensive railway
and mining interests, Mr.. Colby was
largely interested in private matters and
was regarded as man of considerable
wealth. He was gifted speaker and
had the happy faculty. of presenting a
scheme in a manner which carried con-
viction with his every assertion and
claim, but he never took advantage of
this magnetic power to hoist upon the
people schemes that were liable to turn
out gigantic failures and money losers.

PROTESTANTS' VICTORY.
Measure Sent to the Peruvian Con-
gresS to Solve the Mar
rage Problem.

Copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press
Lima, Perl, Feb. %, via Galveston,
Tex, Feb. 2S.-The government has Or
dered the preparation of a resolution,
which will be submitted to Congress, pro-
viding for the registration of Protestant
marriages. This is the result of lengthy
diplomatic action in which the United
States government and the government
of Great Britain have taken part.
The Rev. Mr.. Wood, head of the mis-
sions in Peru, some of whose mission
aries belong to the East London insti-
tute and others to the American Bible
society, has had trouble with Peruvian
officials for long time past. The eX-
pulsion of some of his missionaries from
Cuzco brought about an exchange of
notes on the subject between Great Brit
ain and Peru, and the refusal of regis
tration of the marriage of Miss Wood
with Mr.. Hazeltine was the basis of
diplomatic action upon the part of the
United States. The missionary question
involved and the marriage question thus
brought to the front are regarded as
being of great Importance by all the
Protestants in Peru and it has been in
Dictated for some time past that they
might possibly lead to a change in the
Peruvian constitution. But the govern
ment appears willing to meet the issue
in a friendly spirit, as indicated by it's
preparation of the resolution referred to.
Mr.. Wood at one time went among the
savages in Perne, at the peril of his life,
and for long time considerable anxiety
was felt for his return. especially as Ell
Obrero, published in Callao, contained
threats against the missionary. Steps
to ascertain his whereabouts and pro-
vide for his safety were eventually taken
at the instance of the United States and
Great Britain

against the Sultan, Abdul Hamid. upon

to the rule of Abdul Hamd than the

revolutionary agents for the latter are
still busily at work but their plan of
campaign seems to have undergone Il
decided change. for they appear to have
become convinced that their only hope
of any kind of redress in the nature of
partial self-government lies in the young
Turkish party.

STONED A CONSULATE.
War1ike Demonstrations of a
Spanish Mob.
United States will Promptly Demand an
Apology.

Barcelona, Spain, March 2.-The fever
United States, which seems to have
taken possession of the heart of all Spain
over the action of the United States Sen
ate in recognizing the provisional govern
ment of Cuba as belligerents. and in call
ing upon President Cleveland to use his
good offices with Spain to secure the i'll
dependence of Cuba, eliminated in vio-
lent scenes here Sunday and an attack
upon the United States consulate.
The trouble did not arise out IF the
spontaneous formation of the mob which
did violence. but was the outcome of
public meeting which had been in
fuenced by fervid speeches. The public
demonstration to protest against the
United States Senates action was or
ganized by the political leaders. includ-
ing Republicans and men of all shades
of political sentiment.
1t was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when
the meeting had assembled, and there
were fully $4,000 people present, all in
state of high patriotic enthusiasm and
ripe for any manifestation of the emo
tons which possessed them. They were
addressed by the orators selected for the
occasion, and the purpose of the meeting
was explained as one of protest against
the recognition Of the Cuban government
as a Lei".i11 crent power by the United
States Senate.
The spirit of the crowd took fire and
they set off for the United States con-
sulate. The leaders who had originated
the meeting seemed to have realized the
serious consequences that might follow
upon demonstration that took this direc
ton. and they made every effort to dis
suade the mob from its purpose, but
their utmost efforts we're Of no avail.
These verbal missiles did not long sat-
isfy the aroused passions of the mob,
and in a short fife stones began flying
from the crowd, which broke q number
of windows in the United States CONSUL
ate.
The force of police waited for no further
manifestation, but charged the crowd
under order of their officers, and roughly
dispersed them, wounding several. So
far as learned, there was no fatal results
