The Ancient Umbrella.

On coins In the rock carvings of the
ancients the umbrella often shows Its
familiar form. This goes to prove that
Jonas Hanway did not invent the UNI
brella, but he saw the value Of the
Eastern sunshade and soon 1t became
the fashion to carry this useful article.
There must be a great difference be-
tween the umbrella Of the eighteenth
century and the modern stecl-rlbbed,
silk-covered, slender article which 1t Is
regarded as n misfortune to wet.

SENATOR PRFFER's PROPHECY

kinley that the exercise of executive
clemency towards Chapman the New
York sugar broker under sentence for
refusing to testify before the senat te su-
gar Investigating committee will cost
The Republicans half million votes in
The next campaign.
Ar. PETER says in his paper:
The ground upon which clemencv is
asked is. that his case was test of the
law authorizing the house or senate to
compel witness to answer questions
The law was passed in 1857, but no deci-
sion had been rendered on it until that
by the supreme court a few weeks ago
II is urged that,as there had been grave
doubts as to the validity and constitu-
uonaIity of the law, the first case to be
decided under it is the proper one for
the exercise of executive clemency. The
application will also point out that there
IS no charge of moral turpitude against
Chapman and that the ends of Justice
viii be served in permitting him to go
free, while the fact of his conviction will
stand as a warning to future witnesses
There ought to be no maudIin senti-
