The superstition, however, is purely fan

points out that If the whole world formed

sent everywhere in it, no one can dis

for US. Unfortunately the world is di-
vided into hostile nations. In this con-
test, the tariff is a weapon like any other
and we must expect it to be used as such.
Ii to benefit ourselves we make tariff
which hurts Great Britain, or France,
OF Germany we must be prepared for

we are SO situated that the retaliation

The other day the prince of Wales, in
the course of a discussion anent the re-
spective merits of the first Napoleon and
OF the great duke of Wellington, related
an anecdote of considerable interest con.
corning the latter. The prince declared
that he was in the act of showing the old
duke boyish drawing which he had
made OF the emperor and the duke on the
field of Waterloo, when old Wellington
put his hand on the princes shoulder and
exclaimed: my boy, / am going to tell
you something that people do not seem
to realize. l spent many years abroad
IN keeping Napoleon in check, and have
fought many battles with him, but never
in my life did l set eyes on him. Once
at Waterloo some one cried, Look, there
Is Napoleon, but before could get the
glass to my eye the smoke of a field gun
had enveloped him.
d Finland would seem to be the mecca of
women who want equality. Mrs. Alec

women, Finland is noted for its NOR

A well known firm of costumers in
London confesses not only to hiring out
wedding gowns but goes on to say that
it is frequent thing to furnish also a
man to give the bride away. The firm
has in its employ an ex-major. member
OF good family, but who is now old and
in limited circumstances. The old gen.
tleman dresses we'll and with his beauti-
full white hair makes most benevolent

bride and groom become so attached to
this gentle old man who has helped them
in their hour of need that they make a
friend of him and welcome him to their
new home as often as he will come to
see them.

SPEAKER REEDS WISE COURSE.
Boston journal Despatch

(Boston Journal Despatch.)
Now that the tariff work is done and
the extraordinary session is at an end the
wisdom of the Speakers policy in declin-
ing to appoint the committees is apparent
to everybody. 1t is due solely to that
policy and the refusal of the House to en-
ter on any kind of general legislation
after sending the tariff bill to the Senate
that the bill has progressed SO smoothly
to its enactment. 1t seemed long time
since the House first disposed of It, but
after all the bill has run into fewer snags
than is commonly the lot of such meas.
ures, and it is recognized now that per-
haps the strongest reason for this has
been the absence of legislative PROPOSE
lions which might have been seized on by
the opposition to embarrass and confuse
the Republican leaders. So long as there
was nothing but the tariff to consider
there was no excuse for ANYTHING bnt
open opposition to it, There was no on.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE,
Will Sample Shot in the Log by Once
NewhOuse Last Night.

| Will Sample Shot in the Log by Oicer
Newhouse Last Night.
While attempting to escape from Of
fcer: Bass and Newbouse at about II
o'clock last night, Will Sample, paint
er, was shot in the leg by Newhouse.
The ball entered the back of the leg be-
low the hip and ranging downward came
out in front of the knee.
Sample had been drunk and quarrel
some around town both last night and
the night before, and Officer Bass had
thrown him out OF saloon and ordered
him home under penalty of arrest. In
stead of complying he went to a saloon
on lower Pearl street, and there engag.
ing in a quarrel with couple of men,
drew a razor on one OF them. The OIL
fcers were summoned and arrested the
man. Although he had been boasting
around of his intention of carving up Of
icer Bass, he made no resistance when
arrested and allowed them to search him
and accompanied them quietly on the
way to Jail. When at nth and Pearl
across from the Camera office, he broke
away and ran up nth street. Newhouse
followed and Bass went around by I2th
to head him off. Sample ran down the
alley and then back of Iredale's to
Spruce and turned down 18th street. 1t
was just at that point that Newhouse
fired and the man ran right into Bass
arms. Newhouse claims that during the
run through the alley, Sample struck
him on the chest with rock. Sample
was then lodged in Jail but the bullet
hole was not discovered until I:3o A
doctor was then summoned and attend
ed to the wounded man, after which he
was removed to his home.
Sample is painter, is about 90 years
old, is married and has two children.
He is a hard drinker, and when under its
influence IS quarrelsome.
This morning DR.. Shute made an at
tempt to extract the bullet, which lay
just under the skin above the knee, but
Samples condition was such that he had
to postpone the attempt until later.
