Personal AND OTHERWISE.

The Spirit of Kentucky is the title of a
new paper started in that state. 1t proposes
to pull the cork at least once a week.
An unknown oficeholder in Cleveland has
returned to the city $500 which he stole
years ago. The example may be followed
in Nebraska without infringing on the
patent right.
Jersey City has a lawyer who, having
settled an estate of 81, 200, was awarded 800
for his costs and refused to take it because
it was an exorbitant price. That man made
a mistake in not dying young.
Tewfk Pasha showed a thorough knowl-
edge of military tactics in conducting opera
tons in Thessaly. But his greater renown
was achieved in dealing with the powers,
In which he proved himself a past master
of fllibustering tactics.
Some blooming American statesmen evil
IDENTIFY do not know that the Dingley tariff
bill is a law. The Congressional Record is
still publishing speeches for and against the
measure. 1t looks as though the members
Of congress were struggling to see who will
get in the last word.
From sources close to their persons, the
news is given out that Senator Arthur Pere
German and wouid-be Senator John r.. Nc
Lean have decided not to make the race
for the senate in their respective states,
Maryland and Ohio. Owing to the pressure
Of other business neither German nor Nc
Lean have time to attach their signatures
to the declination.
One of the Oldest women teachers in the
public schools of Portland, Ore, has the
klondike fever and proposes going north.
The clerk of the Board of Education, a
California forty-niner, advises her to take
up a load of candies, cigars and nuts rather
than to try any other way of making money
or a living there. He recalls the visit Of a
woman with such a cargo to a California
camp and says that she cleared S 1000 be-
tween Saturday and Monday.
James Paxton Voorhees,, son of the late
senator from Indiana, for many years con-
nected with the art department of the con-
gressional library, has resigned in order to
devote his entire time to art. Mr.. VOORHEES,
has for years been known as an artist, many
of his productions in marble having given
him high rank as a sculptor. He is COM
pleting busts in marble of the late Senator
Hurst of California, and another of his
father, the late senator from Indiana.
Hon. Charles A. Dana, LID, has recov-
cred from his recent spell of sickness. His
convalescence is announced in the following
characteristic paragraph in the Sun: "a
friend in Geneva informs us that certain
papers in that neighborhood say that Mr..
Dana has resigned as editor of the Sun.
This is a falsehood. Mr.. Dana has never
been Of a resigning habit, and hereby de-
clares that he has not commenced the prac-
tice in the present case. He can still be
found doing business at the old stand, and
the man does not live who can say that he
has seen him, there or elsewhere, turn his
back either upon a friend or foe."
Here is a picture of a scene at a summer
opera in Chicago drawn by the News: His
evening toilet consisted Of trousers checked
in black and white, not shaded checks, but
staring and clearly outlined; a low-cut white
vest, a colored neglige shirt, dark tie and a
dress coat. He had hidden his hat, but
there is no doubt it was a derby in the new
shade of green. There should have been a
communion of souls between him and a
stout woman seated in a conspicuous box,
who wore black satin and chiffon twinkling
with jet, elbow sleeves and square-cut neck,
a bushel of diamonds and a sailor hat. But
they never looked at one another" Can
such things be and the heroic statue of
General John A. Logan remain inanimate?
