LOVES BRUTES.
And Pity For Dumb Animals Is Implant-
ed In His Family.

And Pity For Dumb Animals Is Implant-
ed In His Family.
Love of dumb animals and pity for
them are deeply implanted in the family
of Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll. Only
the other day Miss Sue M. Farrell had
arrested a street cleaning department
cart driyer who was brutally beating
his horse. Miss Farrell is Mrs. Inger-
soils sister. In court the fellow, Will
liam Matthews, begged her piteously
not to press the charge against him.
Finally she said:
"You richly deserve to be locked up.
For the sake of your wife and children
and OH your express promise that you
will be kind to animals hereafter will
consent to your release"
Miss Maud Ingersoll, the colonel's
daughter, some time ago interposed in
the same way to save horse.
1t would seem as if Colonel Ingersoll
himself cherished this flower of pity in
his family. The colonel occupies a fine
house at Dobbs Ferry during the sum-
mer. One day the writer of this had to
ask Colonel Ingcrsoll question that re-
quired but the simple answer eyes" or
NO" Arrived at the Dobbs Ferry sta
tion, he found that q train would return
to New York in half an hour. A tumble
down hack stood at the station, to which
were hitched two Of the sorriest horses
that ever stood in shoes.
"Can you get to Colonel Ingersoll's
house and back in half an hour?' he
asked the hackman.
"Ye-es, sir" he answered obviously.
All the way to the gate of the grounds
around the house the driver thrashed
his horses numerically. But it was
necessary to catch that train back to
New York, and SO there was no protest
from the man in the hack. But as soon
as he passed the gate the driver put his
whip in its socket, leaned lazily back
and let his painting horses walk.
Hurry! Hurry" cried the impatient
man in the hack. Don't let me lose
my train. Whip up! Whip upP'
"Whip upr' retorted the driver.
"Not much. If Colonel Ingersoll saw
me whipping those horses, he'd whip

It Picks the Strings Of n Banjo and Guitar
and Trots on the Keys Of a Piano.
Randolph Blanel of Mount Vernon
was seated in his library one evening
several weeks ago, when he heard curl
ous sound in the parlor below. The rest
of the family had gone to bed. The
sound was rather musical, being hum
ming in various notes, broken by little
twangs. Mr. Blanel went down stairs
softly and peered into the parlor. There
in the moonlight which shone on the
piano top he saw the house cat, big
black tom, called Steal.
Steal was sitting on his launches be-
side the banjo which Mr.. Blanel's boy
Rob usually plays. Steal had learned
that by touching the strings with his
paws he could make them sound. It was
remembered afterward that the cat al
ways came into the room when Bob
played, but that was supposed to have
been because the boy made great pet
of him.
Blanel watched tho cat and says h,
saw Steal pick the strings, first touching
the fourth, then the third, the second
and the first. Blanel tiptoed his way
back up stairs and listened to the cat g
playing for over an hour, when it ceased.
Soon afterward Steal came running mp
stairs, lay down before the CRATE fire and
went to sleep.
Since that night the cat has gone reg
ularly to the banjo every night at about
IL OF 1870 O'Clock and picked away at
the strings, manifesting his delight by
purring loudly. The cat has been seen
also picking at guitars strings, the
instrument having been left in the ban
JOS place purposely. The cat does what
many other cats do, running up and
down the keys of the piano. Rob Blanel
says, however, thx Steal has a more
delicate piano touch than other cats.

M,KINLEY AND PATRONAGE.

Those who have watched the growth
of the incoming cabinet cannot fail to
be impressed by the utter sbsurdity
with which the principle Of free gov
ernment has been set aside to give place
to th- more potent one of division OF
the pat onaae, nsing that word in its
worst tense, a. only it can be need in
connection with politics. When our
forefathers got together and elected
the first president OF the United States,
there was no problem of "patrou age.'
Washington, not having bought his
election by the promise Of office, had no
debts to pay consequently he lied his
appointments not by this man who had
supported HIM on the stump, and that
man who has worked political deal
through for him, but by men who, he
believed, would best discharge the
duties devolving upon them. Alas |!
Cabinets are not built on that plan
nowadays.
Sherman owes his appointment to the
fact that Marcus A. Hanna wanted
Shermans place in the United States
senae. Mr.. Hanna is the keeper of
Mckinley. Gen. Russell A. Alger got
a place because Michigan must be pla-
Gated, or, woe to the party next cleo
ton klger isn't much, but he is the
best thing Michigan had lying around
loose. Gage was given the treasury
because Chicago and II. H. Kohlssat
had done deal to elect Mckinley.
Long was taken in because New Eng
land had an 1. o. U. that needed
squaring. McCook will be pigeon
holed somewhere in the cabinet because
he represents constituency that came
down hard for Mckinley and the gold
standard. Porter becomes Secretary
to the president because the Hartford
Post first came out for the Ohio man
for president Aud SO on.
y 1t does not require very great ex-
penditure of intellectual energy to see
that the Offices are used solely to pay
election obligations. We do not say
or think that the men who are to fill
McKinley's cabinet are in the main
unfit for the places assigned. Most of
them arc men of ability and probity.
But we do say that they were not
chosen for their fitness. They we're
used as part OF that grand financial
scheme by which q party gets into
power and settles with the bosses by
apportioning the patronage where it
will do the most good. This is, of
couse, "free government" but it is
sadly in need of new coat of paint.

A Strange Story Of Girls Profanity.

DR.. H. w. Key, president Of the Mem
phis Conference Female institute, will
be sued for slander by Miss Gulnare
Hampton of Paragould, Ark.
Miss Hampton was expelled last week.
She had been summoned before the
faculty and reprimanded for the use OF
the name Of Jesus Christ indiscrimi-
nately. She declined the assistance of the
teachers in breaking up the habit, and
hence the expulsion. In the papers to be
filed it is held tbat the language used
was not profane in the eyes of the law.
The matter has caused widespread
comment, owing to the popularity of
the case and prominence of the parties.
Dr. Key is "a son of Bishop j. S. Key of
