WINOFALLS FOR GAMlNS.
Two Lavish Gifts bestowed on Pair Of
Bright Boys.

Quite recently the pretty wife of 6
prosperous manufacturer was looking
into a confectioner's window when a
barefooted lad of about 10 coolly walk
ed up to her and placed his rugged arm
through hers.
"Excoose this liberty, num- he
said, with comical ceremony, "but 1
amt got mother O. my own, an feels
lonely. Will We kiss me?'
For moment the lady was too as
tonished to speak, but the sight of the
dirty face turned so audaciously up
to hers drove away her indignation.
Much to the amusement of the passers-
by she kissed the lad soundly, asked
him where he lived and dismissed him
with few coppers. But that was not
the end of the little incident, for some
weeks after the boy was hunted up by
the lady's husband and presented with
el00-'payment for the kiss taken in
front of the confectioner's window"
the lady said.
good natured gentleman who is
very stout, and on that account does
not care to stoop, once dropped his brier
pipe IN the middle of busy street.
The pipe was great favorite of his,
but he dared not run the risk of bending
down, and after gazing regretfully at
his fallen treasure he decided to aban-
don -. Before he could do so, however
a little street arab saw his plight, and
running forward, picked up the pipe
and restored it TO him.
The gentleman stared at the boy
without speaking for awhile, and then
pulled a handful Of gold out of his
pocket.
Take this, kiddie, and be careful
how you spend it," he said. mind al
so that whatever you do with it you are
not to spend it on butter scotch, for
that's the stuff that made me fat. 4"
He then walked away, leaving the
astonished urchin in possession of "a
amounting to over $50 Lon

WAsHINGToN.Jun 25.-lSpecial. Cen
eral Stewart l.. Woodford, our new minis
ter to Spain, has before him task both
enyiable and uncnyiable He will either
make great reputation in Madrid or
achieve "a great failure. The difficulty OF
his undertaking IS thoroughly appreciated
by every one in Washington who is at all
in touch with what is going on behind the
scenes. Hitherto General Woodford's repu-
tation has been chiefly that of n felicitous
after dinner speaker and as a campaign
orator, but he will have something 10 do
in the Spanish capital besides make speech
es. He has before him one of the most diff.
flcult and delicate tasks ever undertaken
by an American diplomatist. General
Woodford has had no experience in the field
of diplomacy, but he may score "a great
success for all that. History shows that
among the most successful diplomatists
sent out by this government have been
men without previous experience. There
is something in the American character
which leads easily TO diplomacy. Our
trained lawyers are all round men. Di-
plomacy, after all, is a game of human
nature, and what do our successful law
yers play if not that? This explains why
so many Of our diplomatic representatives
have in the past been able TO hold up their
end against the trained men Of other ma

the brilliant scene on the floor and at
the same time give Mrs. Mckinley, who
looked fatigued, an opportunity to rest
before crossing the great court to the
supper room.
After the inspection from the balcony
the march down stairs began, the pres
tdent, vice president and their wives
being escorted by General Miles, MIR.
Hanna and number of gentlemen con-
nected with the reception committee.
Following in their train came an array
of brilliantly dressed women and their
escorts. The presidential party passed
to the supper room from the gallery TO
the north side of the hall marching in
an aisle formed by two lines of dense-
ly massed spectators.
At 11.30 President and Mrs. Mckinley
left the building and were driven to
the white house. The remainder of the
party returned to the ball room and
participated in the festivities which
were protracted until an early hour
in the morning.

for sale and consumption; and avoiding

taxation except in time of war The
country Is clearly opposed to any need
less additions to the subjects of internal
taxation and Is committed by its latest
popular utterance to the system of tariff
taxation. There can be no misunder
sanding, either, about the principle upon
which this tariff taxation shall be levied !;
nothing has ever been made palmer at a
general election than that the controlling
principle in the raising of revenue from
duties on imports is u jealous care for
American interests and American labor.
The people have declared that such legis-
lation should be had as will give ample
protection and encouragement to the in
dustrious and the development of our
country. 1t is, therefore, earnestly hoped
and expected that congress will, at the
earliest practicable moment, pass reve-
nue. legislation that shall be reasonable,
conservative and just, and while supply
ing sufficient revenue for public purposes
will still be signally beneficial and help
full to every section, and every enterprise
of the people. To this policy we are all,

MRS. CLEVELAND WEEpS.
Tears Were in Her Eyes When She
Left the White House.

Washington, March At was twenty
minutes past two o'clock when Mrs.
Mckinley and her party drove up to the
front pOrtico of the white house. The
delay occasioned by stopping to take
lunch at the capitol was most embar-
rassing. Mrs. Cleveland with General
Wilson, eXSecretary Lamont and Mr..
Thurber had been waiting to receive
Mrs. Mckinley fully an hour on the
sunny rear porch the tedious delay
meaning more to Mrs. Cleveland than
any one else for she had determined at
any personal Inconvenience TO welcome
Mrs. Mckinley and the loss of an hour
would cause her not only to miss saying
farewell to the cabinet ladies at SeCre-
taly Lamont's but also prevent her bid
ding goodbye to her husband before he
started south.
The first duty she was eventually
enabled to hurriedly accomplish, but
she was much disappointed at being
unable to so as she had intended to bid
Mr.. Cleveland farewell.
Mrs Cleveland Wore a dark green
travelling dress, with broad purple vel
vet trimming on the jacket and a black
felt hat with lilac ribbons. and every
one at the white house said she never

to appreciate, the great value and bene-
ficence OF our institutions and laws-and

ened nations of the world, which, under

of whatever party, firmly bound by the
voice of the people-a power vastly more
potential than the expression of any po-
litical platform. The paramount duty OF
congress is to stop deficiencies by the
restoration of that protective legislation
which has always been the tirmest pro-
tector of the treasury. The passage of
such law or laws would strengthen the
credit of the government both at home
ana abroad, and go far towards stopping
the drain upon the gold reserve held for
the redemption Of our currency which
has been heavy and we'll nigh constant
for several years.
RESTORATION OF THE RECIPROC-
ITY CLAUSE.
In the revision of the tariff, especial at
tention should be given to the re-enact-
ment and extension of the reciprocity
principle of the law of 1890, under which
so great a stimulus was given to our
foreign trade in new and advantageous
markets for our surplus agriculture and
manufactured products. The brief trial
given this legislation amply justites
further experiment and additional discre-
tionary power in the making of CONNER
cial treaties, the object in view always
to be the opening up of new markets for
the products of our country by grant
ing concessions to the products of other
lands that We need and cannot produce
ourselves, and which do not involve any
loss of labor to our own people, but tend
to increase their employment.
RELIEF TO LABOR AND AGRICUL-
TJfRE.
The depression of the past four years
has fallen with especial sever.--y upon the
great body of toilers of the t&+-ntry, and
upon none more than the holders of
small farms. Agriculture has languished
and labor suffered. The revival of manu-
featuring will be a relief to both No
portion of our population is more devot-
ed to the institutions of free government
nor more loyal in their support, while none
bears more cheerfully or fully it's proper
share in the maintenance of the govern
ment or is better entitled to its wise and
liberal care and protection. Legislation
helpful to producers is beneficial to all.

dearer and more universally enjoyed to-
day than ever before. These guarantees
must be sacredly preserved and wisely
strengthened. The constituted authori-
ties must be cheerfuly and vigorously
upheld. Lynchings must not be tolerated
in great and civilized country like the
United States; courts-not mobs-must
execute the penalty of the law. The
preservation of public order, the rights of
discussion, the integrity of courts and
the orderly administration of justice must
continue forever the rock of safety upon
which our government securely rests.

1t is inspiring, too, to remember that
no great emergency in the one hundred

life has ever arisen that has not been
met with wisdom and courage by the
American people with fidelity to their
best intention and highest destiny, and to
the honor of the American name. These

established and insist upon their faithful
observance. Equality of rights must
prevail and our laws be always and every
