mckinley receives every day a great
many letters, and one would think
from them thai we were a nation of

Mrs. McKinley's influence for the
writer's husband, who is an applicant

money and she is sure the Presidents
wife can spare her a few dollars. An
other wants a photograph; another an
autograph; but by far the greatest
number of beggars wan pieces of the
dress Mrs. Mckinley wore at the in
auguration ball. Mrs. Mckinley is not
tearing up her dress for the benefit
OF souvenier hunters. Nor is she dis

kinley's mail is handled like that Of
the President. 1t goes first to the
white house clerks. They sort out the
personal letters from those which are
written by strangers, and the letters
from strangers they open and read.
Formal acknowledgements of these let

the clerks. Mrs. Mckinley seldom

Mrs. Mckinley opens and reads. Her
private correspondence she carries on
as n has always done; but the white

The Hungarian Premier,

Baron Bannfy, the premier of Hun

humiliating position, in which it is
said that he has had the sympathy of

budget debate the prime minister read
among other evidence a private letter

and the origin of which he had not
paused to consider. The opposition
wrathfully demanded how the letter
had been obtained, and Baron Bannfy
had the unpleasant task of tracing the
document and the circumstances
through which it had drifted into dis
possession. The letter was sent by a
journalist to the under-secretary of the
home office, who added it on his own
responsibility to the evidence of ego

Three causes are leading to the de-
struction of bird life in this country
the wanton killing of birds by so-called
sportsmen, the use of dead birds or
parts thereof as ornaments on women's
hats, and the making of collections of
nests and eggs. The first indefensible,
the second is a reproach to womanhood,
and the third should be restricted to
collections for public information, like
the Smithsonian Institution. The hui
man race would miss the birds if they
were gone.

Gladstone and Disraeli.

From the Outlook: Gladstone was
needed to bring out all that was keen
est and brightest in the Parliamentary
eloquence of Disraeli. Gladstone, on
the other hand, would have been liter
ally thrown away or any Tory antae-
Onist beneath the level of Disrae]i
Never since Disraeli left the House Of
Commons has Gladstone found a Tory
antagonist worth his crossing swords
with. Among other differences be-
tween the two men were differences in
education. Disraeli never had any,
thing like the classical training of
Gladstone. The mind of Gladstone was
stepped in the glorious literature of
Greece and of Rome, about which Dis
raeli knew little or nothing. Disraeli
could not read Latin or Greek: he
could not speak French. In a famous
speech Of his delivered in the House
of Commons at the height of his fame
and in opposition to a measure of Glad
stones, Disraeli made it plain that he
thought the meaning of "university'
was a place where everything was
taught place Of universal instruc-
ton. In another famous speech he
described John Henry Newman's
"Apologia pro Vita Sua" as an "apolo-
gy" for Newman's life. When the con-
gress of Berlin sat in 1878, and was
presided W by Prince Bismarck, the
great Prussian statesman opened and
conducted the business in English. Dis
raeli, accompanied by Lord Salisbury,
represented England at the congress
and it was at first supposed that Bis
marck spoke English simply as a mark
of compliment to England. But Bis
marck kindly spoke English because it
had been made known to him that Dis
raeli could not speak French

A Berlin cable dispatch says:

A Berlin cable dispatch says: "A
meeting of material interest to the
working classes will be that of the in
ternational congress on legislation for
the working classes which convenes
here next September. A similar con-
gress met here in 1890, and at the COM

latlon for the workers enacted since
that time will be discussed. Among
the topics outlined for action will be as
to whether International protective

trades statistics be established; as to
the ~advisability of submitting workers
to a protective regime, and how far
protection is beneficial"

Translated the 'Iliad' for Consolation
After His Wifc's Death.

After His Wifc's Death.
After Mrs. Bryant died, in 1866, Bry-
ant betook himself for consolation to
the "1liad' and the "Odyssey," which
he completely translated before Deem
Der, 1871, at the age Of II, says the
Atlantic. There are few things more
touching han this comfort tenderly
gwen by man to maj across the gap Of
2,o0O years. Nothing furnishes a more
eloquent argument of the worth Of
poetry and of it's profound humanity
than this. The translation of Homer is
a very personal matter, and seems to
STIR some of those fires in the human
breast that burn only in front of its
penates. Pope's translation was a
success, Cowper's was a success; SO
were Lord Derby's and Mr.. Bryants.
MI. Lang and his associates, also Prof.
Palmer, have made excellent transla-
lions. All these renderings are very
olHerent one from another, and doubt
less their respective successes to
the variety among readers. There is
n class Of people which has
read the Greek, another that has read
n forgotten, a third and small class
"hlch compares the translation and
the original; and there are other per-
sons still who condemn all TRANSACTIONS
OF homer without reading them. Bry-
ants work is said to be faithful to the
original, but the stories of Ilium and
or Odysseus feel somewhat i'll at ease
IN English blank verse. The Greek
spirit is SO different from our spirit, the
creek language is so unlike our Ian
suage, that almost all translators, and
bryant among them, must rest content
with moderate praise.

AFTER THE FLAMBEAU BURNERS.
State Gus Supervisor Leach at work
in BIackf0rd County.

state Gas Supervisor Leach at Work
in BIackford County.
Special to he Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, May 24.-The
arrival of State Gas Inspector Leach here
this morning caused some excitement
among oil and gas men. Since the decision
of the Supreme Court in the hambeau case
it is believed that Leach will put a stop
to the burning of fambeaux on the oil
leases in this section, the owners of which
have paid but little attention to the courts
decision. He went from here direct to the
fields north of Hartford City Besides put
ting a stop to the hambeauX he will see
that all leaks are repaired, and all oil pro-
ducers who continue to waste gas will be
prosecuted. Besides the oil producers there
are manufacturers who light their factor
les by gas torches and gas companies With
leaking lines wasting twice the amount of
the f1ambeauX, and these two will be looked
after. The Inspector is credited with say
ing he could find enough work in this
county alone to occupy all his time and
that to keep cases on the entire gas and
oil belt it will require the service of more
than a half dozen men. To this end the
inspector appointed George r. Bell, of this
city, a deputy for this district, including
Blackboard, Wells, Grant and Delaware
counties
