that the senate had passed 100 private pen

were passed in two and three-fourths
hours, appropriating little over $l2, 900

in the senate to take up the tariff bill and
on the motion being defeated declared the
bill dead, because the Republicans did not
have a majority of the body. Frye agreed

DEATH OF A FAMOUS HUMoRlST.
Edgar Willis Nye the Victim of Paralysis
His Varied Career.


His Varied Career.
AsHEvLLE, N. c., Feb. 24.-The death
Of "Bill' Nye. which had been expected
for several days, in his home near this
place, took place Saturday afternoon, his
wife and children being present at his
bedside. Ten days ago he had stroke of
paralysis much more severe than the one
at Patterson, N. j., when the cruel story
that he was drunk was sent out. Edgar
Willis Nye was born at Shirley, Me-, Aug.
IS, 1850, but at the age of 2 years, accord
ing to his own story, he took his parents
by the hand and led them to the west.
Like many humorists Nye was a man of
almost womanly gentleness of disposition.
His amiability was never clouded and his
good humor was as spontaneous as 1T was
good-natured. He never forgot a friend.
In later years his writing and lecturing
brought an income of over $50, 900 a year,
and he will leave moderate fortune to
his widow and children. Nye, in 1877,
married Miss Fanny Smith, of Chicago.
OF his personal appearance it may be said
that he looked just like his pictures and
everybody has seen them.

HAND SEWING,
Passion for Fine Needlework Has
Taken Possession OF Women.


1t is q curious and pretty reversion to
the customs of our grandmothers that
assails the woman Of today.
Not only do we find knitting usurp-
ing place long occupied by lace and
embroidery, but what generally goes un-
der the name of plain needlework is
now taking its place alongside the fine
arts, Machine sewing is no longer to
be thought of in connection with lin
gerie. Indeed, 1t is quite impossible
for the silk garments so much affected
by the smarter women of to-day.
After so long lapse of plain needle
work into desuetude, some extra stimu-
lus was necessary to bring women back
into the good old ways; and one Of
those clever women who foresee the
signs of the times grasped the situation
and started classes in sewing, thus in
augurating the fashion. The prices
demanded FOR these lessons are on a
level with those paid for music. dancing,
painting or any other art, $3.50 for a
half hours private lesson being the
least that is paid.
Classes for teaching sewing as fine
art to the little daughters of the fash
ionable set are also in vogue.

quite nice-lcoking slices were marked
at cent apiece.
A little crowd OF boys and girls stood
longingly around this fruit paradise
and viewed it with greedy eyes.
A friend who was with me counted
the children.
There were fourteen of them.
Give each one Of those children a
slice, if they want it, he said to the
delighted dealer. and here's your
money"
Then, there was scene!
The rush was something terrific, and
we stood in danger of being mobbed
AS each child received its slice it
fairly dived into the fruit-all save one.
This was brown-eyed little girl, who
walked of with hers.
What are you going to do with

Give 1t to my sick mother"
Here's another slice for your mother.
Eat that one yourself You are a good
little girl"
But I'm sorry to say she wasn't, for
when she got around the corner she de-
voured both portions, even down to the
green part, for l alphabetically had
followed her.
In the meantime the crowd of
juveniles had increased greatly, lured
by such shouts as this:
Hey, key! tell Abey to fetch little
Morris quick yet already. De Wan
