Reflections Of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press
The most a nightgown ever has is tucis.
but a slumber robe has lace and other
things.
The average man would rather have
wife whom his friends admire than one he
admires himself.
A woman many take care of her face to
the last but she takes care of her hands
and feet only till she gets married.
Nobody but a married man can under
stand why women like to wear such pretty
clothes where people can't see them.
The man who talks about being walked
up with a kiss generally doesn't count
having to get out of bed and fix the fur
mace.
The woman who insists on cleaning up a
mans desk ought to be made to marry ,
man who won't stay out of the kitchen.

At a banquet in Washington Monday
night Senator Sherman, who is to be
the new Secretary of State, said in a
set speech that he would stand for a
vigorous foreign policy, and that espe-
cially in the matter Of protection for
our citizens abroad he would advocate
a policy of the firmest and most ad-
vanced character That has the right
ring We want nothing in the way of
territorial expansion; we do not want
to meddle with the affairs OF Europe,
nor do we wish to mix with the politics
of other nations. But American policy
should be so ee-handed that our ex-
preston of sympathy and its interpo-
sition in the interests OF humanity by
firm protests should never be re-
strained. More than that, it should be
so strong, aggressive and vigorous a
foreign policy regarding our American
citizens abroad and maintenance of
their rights that no foreign Power will
dare to trample on them. In this re-
gard we can well advance anew the
old standard of the American revolu-
ton. which bore the device of a rattle
snake eoiled and ready to strike. with

Back From the Grave

We cannot come, but we can often stay
our progress thither. Disease, like every
thing else, must have beginning. All
chronic malades tend to shorten life, and
render it species of martyrdom while
they last. Malaria, kidney complaint,
chronic indigestion rheuma tism-all have
small beginnings, and may be stayed at
the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. This excellent tonic and Alternative
orders of the system and to their removal,
and it's early use cannot be too strongly
advocated. To renew appetite and insure
tranquil rest there is no surer and pleas
anter means than the Bitters. The effects
of overwork and exhaustion, mental or
physical. are counteracted by 1t, and the
busy merchant, the tired clerk or opera
tive, and the brain weary student, author
or newspaper man, derive from it present

TURNED ON THE GAS.
Luke Bulger's Mysterious Death Yes
terdaV.

A strong odor Of gas in one of the
corridors of the Western Hotel yester-
day morning led to the finding of the
dead body of Luke Bulger, man about
31 years of age, in a room which he
had engaged only the preceding day.
Bulger was lying on the bed, partially
undressed, and the supposition is that
his death was the result of accident or
neglect to turn off the gas. He may
have lighted the gas and then fallen
asleep and the light have been extn-
guished by puff of air. Yet it is pos
sible he may, for some reason un-
known, have purposely blown out the
light.
Deceased was lately employed as a
carpenter a the railroad shops, but
went to the companys hospital for
medical treatment and left that insti-
tuition only last Sunday.
He had some money on his person

them in fighting capacity, though they
so greatly outnumber the Greeks. Many
of the Sultan's vessels are of obsolete

are badly manned. The Greeks are
sailors born, while the Turks dread the

ALLEGED BOXERS.
Two Dubs Who Imagine They Are
Fighters.

George Holder and George Cooper,
who We're charged with disturbing the
peace early yesterday morning, were
allowed to go free from the Police
Court.
Holder appeared in court with his
head bound up and a general look of
having had a monkey and parrot time
and pleaded guilty.
Cooper, who is a colored man, plead
ed not guilty, but acknowledged that
he had had a fight with Holder, in
which he claimed Holder was the ag
greSSOr.
Judge Davis told Cooper, who fancies
himself to be boxer, that it would not
be long before he would find more than
his match, and that he had better not
fancy he can fight.
To Holder he said it was evident that
he could not fight, and after advising
both to be peaceable citizens he let
them go.
The Judge must have seen Cooper in
the ring.

BUSY TIMES.
Many Warrants Entered, Signed and
Sealed in Two Davs.

There was no breathing spell at the
State Controllers office on Saturday or
Monday. No one had time to speak to
friend.
In those two days seven different
pay-rolls had to be checked up, and
1913 vouchers had to be made out, en-
tered, signed either by Controller Col
gan or Deputy Controller Douglass.
After that was done the vouchers had
to be sealed and compared With the
powers of attorney.
In the past it has been considered
that 400 or 500 warrants would swamp
the office, but the work was all done
in the two days without hitch. If
there is anyone who is entitled to
voucher and has not yet received 1t, he
can be quite sure that it is his own
fault.
The pay-roIls made out We're the
monthly ones of the State officers, that
of the Senate for last week two for the
Assembly and three for the employees of
the State Printing Office. There were
also number of small claims that
had been passed by the State Board Of
Examiners.
The Controllers office also makes
work for the Treasurer, and the two
CT the busiest days the treasury has
ever known were Monday and yester-
day, either one of which is said to have
broken the record in the number Of
warrants cashed.
On Monday 796 warrants, calling for
S59,316 65 were paid, and yesterday
co.. warrants calling for $6S,4 81
were paid, a total for the two days of
| ,44S warrants and $127, 129 IS.
1t was after o'clock before the war
rants could be all checked up last
night, though usually work ceases
when the clock strikes 4.
