How They Conspired to Estrange a CIeA4
EymaR and Troubled spinster.
Several of the large tobacco manufactuP-
ing firms are now trying to popularize
their goods with youthful consumers by
giving away with each purchase a lapel
button on which is printed some striking
motto, and it was one of these innocent
pieces of bone that came near causing dis
scnsiOn in one of the fashionable churches
of the city few days ago. The 12-year-
old son of the pastor is full of worldliness
and smokes cigarettes, so when buttons
came to constitute part Of every package
of cigarettes he was one of the first to be
adorned. He scpa had quite collection
and in looking over it one day he saw one
that struck him as being particularly ap-
propriate for his father So he picked it
out, and going into the library, where the
dignified old gentleman was busy at his
next Sundays sermon, he stole softly up
behind him and pinned it on the minister
al lapel and then went on his light heart
ed, happy way.
A short time afterward one of the
wealthiest pillars of the church. an eccen-
trio and decidedly conventional spinster,
called at the parsonage and proceeded to
narrate unto her shepherd the woes that
made her life a burden. She was driving
away at tremendous rate, the minister
paying sympathetic attention, his fingers
toying idly with the lapel of his coat, when
the maiden lady's eyes fell on that button.
A stern and rigid look settled on her nat
urally sour visage and she stopped talking
abruptly Then she rose to go.
Excuse me, - she said freezingly, "but
I thought that was what ministers were
for
The bewildered parson tried in vain to
detain her and obtain some explanation
but she was Obdurate and hurried away
with indignation oozing from her every
pore He followed her to the door, and
when she had slammed it after her was
walking slowly back when he looked down
on that button ard the bold, black letters
of the motto, i've troubles of my own;
don't tell me yours. New York Journal

LaauIIE
Company of America.
To be the leading man of the leading
stock company of the United States is a
distinction that falls to the lot of few
young men. William Faversham is still
quite young in years although old in
stage experience. He has by the retire
ment of Henry Miller from the Empire
theater stock company of New York city
for the purpose of becoming a star sue
ceeded to the position of leading man Of
that sterling organization.
Mr.. Faversham is an excellent actor,
and were it not for an aggravating strut
and a few irritating mannerisms would
easily rank as the superior of his prede-
cessor in most of the essentials that go to
make greatness on the stage. His career
has been not unlike that of most players

Mortaetreue lleberlebuna,

Friedrichsruhe, Aug. "a, 1896.
Honored Sir! Your esteemed favor OF
July lst. a. C. is received.
L have always had prediction for
bimetallism, without considering myself
infallible before experts, when l was in
office. | still believe today, that it COM
mends itself to endeavor to obtain an
understanding towards bimetallism with
the States principally participating in
the commerce of the world.
The United States are in their Govern
ment more economically free than any
one of the european States, and if North
America should find it compatible with
her interests, to take by herself step in
the direction of bimetallism, / believe
that it would be of promoting influence
upon accomplishing international Union
and the accession of the european States.
Assuring you of my most considerate
esteem am Your Honors most obedient
servant. V. Bismarck.
Translation as read by Gov. Culber-
son and innocently repeated many times
by Mr.. Bryan. IN. Y. Worldly
Friedrichsruhe, Aug. "a, 1896.
Honored Sir Your esteemed favor
has been duly received.
l hold, that this is the very hour that
would be advisable to bring about be-
tweenlthe nations chiefly engaged in the
worlds commerce, mutual agreement
in favor of the establishment of bimetall-
ism. The United States are freer by far
in their movements than any nation of
Europe, and hence if the people of the
United States should find it compatible
with their interests to take independent
action in the direction of bimetallism, l
cannot but believe that such action
would exert most salutary influence
upon the consummation of international
agreement. Bismarck.

HE WILL GIVE $1,000.
Senator Miners Offer, After Making a Sub
stantal Subscription to the Debt Fund
Of Howard College.

Drs. Gray and Hale went up to New
castle yesterday afternoon to see Senator
John 7. Miner in reference to Howard
college. These gentlemen report that the
senator received them with great cour-
tesy and manifested much interest in
the college.
at would be disgrace to Birming-
ham," said Colonel Miner, "for the col
lege to be sold under mortgage. 1t was
brought here upon the promises of Bir-
mingham, and there ought not to be any
question about putting 1t on a sound
financial basis"
The senator thought that the college
brought money enough into the district
to make it a matter of moment to retain
it, and the higher blessings of such an
institution were beyond computation.
The senator made handsome contribu-
ton to clear the college of debt and Of
fered to give $1,000 on the condition that
nine other men would give $1,000 each.
Colonel Miner says that most of this
$4,000 debt will have to be given by JEFF
ferson county and that it ought to be so
given. He gave Drs. Gray and Hale the
names of several prominent and public
spirited men, upon whom he advised
them to call and present the matter.
Thus the prospects of the college
brighten every day.

RIGA, will back against Fltzsimmons o
fight for the championship of the world.
Hildebrandt and Smith were at the Po-
lice Gazette office today and authorized
the following telegram to be sent to Cor
bett, who is in San Francisco:
"Will you fight Denver Ed Smith, bare
knuckles, London prize ring rules, for the
championship of the world and $4,000
side in South Africa? Name date your
self. Hildebrandt posted $1,000; fight
guaranteed RICHARD K. FOX.
Smith said 1t was his intention to chal-
lenge Fitzslmmons if Corbett refused, and
If the Australian refused to meet him he
would claim the championship and de-
fend it against any man in the world.

B|LLSTEVENS SAYS CASUALLY
That His Belt Is Full of
SCalps,
THAT VAUGHAN WILL CALL
And the Simon Pure Will Come and Put Out a
Straight Ticket-0ther Refreshing
Observations

Bill Stevens was in the city yesterday
on his return from the st. Louis conven-
tlon.
Bill says he did the boys one this time.
They scattered their speeches, and he
concentrated his; that the convention met
for business and had no time to hear
long-wnded wrangles-hence his success.
Chairman Vaughan, he says, will call
his committee together in this city on the
oath, at which time state convention
will be ordered for the purpose of putting
out straight republican gold standard
ticket
Bill says while Congressman Aldrich is
out of the race, he thinks he is still good
republican and will stand by the faith.
AT least the party will touch" him for
a couple of thousand dollars to conduct
the campaign. He may refuse to ante up,
but he will be given the opportunity to
refuse.
DIR. Moseley, he says, takes his medicine
like little man, and Chairman Vaughan
is the happiest individual in the United
States
1--WE want now only the pure, genuine
republicans, and no lodging behind the
curtains" remarked Bill. I'VE are like
you democrats; If the pops are not willing
to join our party they can have a party
of their own. To be classical, If the noun
tain will not go to Mohammedan, Moham-
medan must go to the mountain. We
have got things our way, and we are 60
ing to run it to suit ourselves"

owned a son named Webb, that Harrison
was the father of an heir apparent of the
name of Russell-and that Mckinley has
a brother Abner.
Brother Abner is calm and impassive
individual with the riotous dash and
nerve of an abandoned brick kiln. He
came here to represent the family tree
and the lineage of the presidential as
pirant and to hold solemn conclave with
himself at frequent intervals and assure
himself that he is glad he is here. He is
an object of anxiety to Mark Hanna and
other gentlemen who have arrived at the
degree of gastric perfection which enables
them to eat pie with the fork without
startling the community by the gymnaS-
tic character of their act. Brother Abner
has not as yet become past master IN
this art, and there are other little points
about him which tend to induce insomnia
in Thurston and Hanna A few nights
ago. to the misery and grief of the big
man from Cleveland, the citizens or ST.
Louis rose in a human mass ana TOOK ADJ
ner out and gave him food to eat ana
made an honored guest of him and played
him for a high card. That was gloomy
night for the Mckinley lieutenants.
Heaven forefend," piously observed
one of these, that they do not give him
napkin or an edged tool to eat with. III
they do we are lost" This fervent prayer
was uttered out of a recognition of the
current rumor that Abner uses all the
hands he has when he starts to perform
with his napkin and makes a sort OF no
man holiday out of his association with
it.
Brother Abner has two distinct pursuits
in life at present. These are temporary,
of course, for his permanent occupation
is battling mystery to most here. What
he does is ride on the street cars and
stand at the Southen hotel desk and by
severe muscular exertion look as much
more like his illustrious brother as is pos
sible. He wakes strong in the knowledge
that people are pointing at him and say
ing, There is McKinley's brother" and
the street cars are a boon in weary land
to him.
In this their hour of jubilation at vic
tory already won there is but one way
in which you can intimidate and stam-
pede a Mckinley leader By going to
him and in a low earnest voice, asking
what is to be the future of Brother Abner
when Mckinley is elected you can drive
that leader painting and shrieking to the
protection the bar grants. Not one of
them is brave enough to even guess at
what will follow on the heels of the maui
guration.
