When a man pants for a woman and
a woman pants for a man, they are q

Pants are like molasses, they are thin

The man in the moon changes his pants

taken On pants. Such mistakes make
breeches of promise. There has been
much discussion as to whether pants are
singular or plural. Seems to us when
men wear pants it is plural and when
they don't wear any it is singular. Men

all right, but when the pants git on a

VICTORY IN OHIO.
Ex-Governor Campbell Believes the
Democrats are Sure to Win.
(From the New York Journal

(F'rom the New York Journal)
Ex-Governor James e. Campbell. of
Ohio, was at the Fifth Avenue hotel
last night. having come to Gotham to
attend to some private business. In con-
versation with a reporter he predicted
success for the democratic ticket at the
coming fall election to be held in Ohio.
Il am absolutely confident that the
Democratic ticket will be successful
this year." said he. Il believe the State
is surely Democratic"
How about the legislature?" was
asked
Il believe that we will not only car
ry our State ticket through, but we will
have a majority in the legislature and
send a Democrat to the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Hanna"
In that event who do you think will
be the Senator?'
John r. Mclean is the only candidate
in the field at present"
ITO what do you attribute the change
of sentiment in favor of the Democracy
in Ohio?'
"There are several reasons for it. There
has been natural reaction of feeling
since last year. Results are what people
want from political victories nowadays.
They pounded the Cleveland administra-
ton because there was panic, and
now they are pounding Mckinley owing
to the absence of the promised prosperi-
ty. The people are docking to results
now more than they are to party princi-
pies"
Asked what effect the coinage question
would have the ex-governor replied:
''The State Of Ohio is for free silver
to-day by very considerable majority.
In my Judgment the State would have
gone for Bryan last fall if the Chicago
platform had declared simply for free
silver in addition to the ordinary Demo
cratic doctrines

ADVANTAGE OF SLEEP.
(The Scientific Americana

In reply to. the question, is it wise
for man to deny himself and get along
with a few hours sleep a day, to do to-
morrow's work? Tesla, the great
electrician, is said to have re.
piled: ''That is great mis-
take, am convinced. A man has
just so many hours to be awake, and
the fewer of these he uses up each day
the more days they will last; that is,
the longer he will live. I believe that a
man might live two hundred years if
he would sleep most of the time. That
is why negroes often live to advanced
old age, because they sleep so much. II
is said that Gladstone sleeps seventeen
hours every day; that is why his facul-
ties are still unimpaired in spite of his
great age.

CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Soon to be Removed into the New
Building.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The re-
moval of the large collections of the
Congressional Library from their pres
ent quarters in the Capitol building to
the magnificent new Congressional Lii
brary building will involve the closing
Of the library at the Capitol to the
public for some weeks.
A systematic plan has been adopted
by which the contents of each shelf
in the many divisions and subdivisions
of the library will be separately boxed
and transferred. duly numbered and
ticketed to the shelves destined to re-
ceive them in the iron stacks of the
new Library building. Shelf space will
be reserved in each division for large
accessions, thus obviating the necessity
of removing any of the great di-
visions from the places now assigned
for many years to some.
The arrangement of the whole col
lection is subjective, and the great out
lines of division will be observed, while
many details Will be improved upon in
the classification. The copyright depart
ment will be first moved, and an office
opened in the new building. The re-
moval of the books will consume sew
eral weeks time, and from forty to
seventy persons will be employed in the

to doubt their accuracy. To be blunt, I
believe that Mr.. Loupe's Illness is not
genuine; that he is shamming; that he
does not desire to appear in court, and
that his plea of illness is an evasion.
He has left the city since the certifi-
cate was produced in court, and is now
at his home in Gilroy, where he doubt

ly until the case is disposed Of without
him.
1.-The defendant, Mr.. Welburn, de-
sires to have his trial as speedily as
possible. Therefore, he valves further
examination and will no longer tres
pass ON the courtesy of the Cornmis-
sioner.''
Judge Heacock then formally ordered
Welburn to appear for trial before the
District Court.
Formerly the bail had been 5000 for
the first count and $4,000 for the 9th
er. The Commissioner remarked that
both offenses, though they differed as
to the amount of money embezzled,
were equal i'm degree. He, therefore.
fixed the bond on each count at S1O,-
600.
Mr.. Welburn was renanded into the
custody of Marshal Baldwin pending
the arrival of his bondsmen to qualify
in the higher sum required.
Welburn has a curious arithmetical
calculation by which he proves, to his
satisfaction, the pettiness of the charge
against him.
II am accused" said he, "of enbeZ-
zling $50 a month for seven months,
making total of $500. But Aikens ad-
mits that he received S25 a month for
twelve months, the total being $500.
There difference is merely $3.50 This
paltry amount I am accused of pilfer-
ing and for this miserable pittance l
am put to all this trouble"

AT the last session of this court, If

said that Louis Loupe, who was Col
lector Welburn's chief deputy, was a
most important witness for our side,
and that without him We could not
make out a satisfactory defense on the
