the succession to the title will arise, is
doubtful. The second son, the Honor

is married to the librarian. At sixty,

Hats Deyastate IN Island

Some years ago Reeds island in tho
estuary OF the Humber was reclaimed
from the sea, says the London News.
The island is about COO acres in ex-
tent, and until recently it was noted
for the excellence of its pasturage,
which was capable Of supporting about
5000 sheep. To-day there is not suf-
fcient grass upon the island to feed =
rabbit.
Some months ago it was invaded BY
rats. Every attompt to lid the island
OF the rodents hss proved unsuccess-
iul. The island is surrounded bv
earthern banks ten feet in height to-
keep out the sea, and about month
ago slu'ces were fitted into the banks
and for some time the island was
flooded. The rats resented the treat
ment to which they were subjected by
squeaking and snarling and then be-
took themselves to the mainland, o
diversion in which they indulge every
night, although it necessitates swim
OF oCO yards each way.
A scheme Of wholesale shooting was
next put into operation, but its sue
cess was not such rs to lead tho COM
mlssloners of the Humber conservancy,
to continue it and the rats are still
masters OF the situation. The appear
ance OF the ground is that of newly
plowed field, so thoroughly is tha
island burrowed and the earth thrown
up.
The unwelcomo visitors to Reeds
island differ IN appearance from the
ordinary water rat. The tail and
headquarters ore similar, but the head
and ears are said rather to resembles
those of the cavy. Tie coat is soft
and fury and Of o tawny hue, not un-
like that of the species of rat the
breeding of which for tho sake OF the
skin Is in some places TN industry.|
There are millions Of these rats on the
island and as they only eat grassesd
roots and tubers the chances of carry!
ing of the pests by poison are very
problematical.

Was Engaged before He Know 1t.


! Five or six agents, guests at Il GER
tain hotel. were seated out under the
trees one evening talking about the
folly Of long engagements.
"Ill tell you what" spoke up a
young solicitor, pulling his hat over
his eyes, as he lazily swung in the
! hammock. 81 was only engaged to
! my wife two months and we mar
ried three months after VIC met
"My sister" returned a pretty girl
agent. "only knew her husband
three weeks and they were only en-.
gagged two weeks"
"ls she happy?" asked some one.
"Oh, perfectly. The young man
met her on the street one day and
declared that she was the very girl
for him. Oh, it was SO romantic!!"
"This only helps to prove my
theory" said an old maid of the
party with reminiscent look. lit
is mistake to wait too long"
"One Of my friends" chimed in 4
sprightflll voice. answered per-
sonal in a New York paper. and three
days later the couple met by appoint
mcnt. Would you believe it: they
were married next day"
x know u true story that beats
that, spoke upa Western girl, who
evidently wished to keep up the
reputation Of her State in the story
line. "a man whom I knew we'll
was going from Austin, Texas, to a
town about forty miles distant. In
front Of him sat pretty girl, with
whom he struck up an acquaintance.
The girl intended to change cars at
the station which was the young
mans destination. But just think
of it! When they reached that town
they stepped off the train as lively
as YOU please, got a license and the
knot was tied in a jilfy-less than an
hour after the couple met"
a blonde young agent in a labor
saving attitude, who had been list
ening with considerable interest,
draWled:
81 know Of a case that in it's way is
quite as interesting. 1t started out
well. I never heard how it ended"
DO tell it!' spoke up several at
once. as the young canyasscr seemed
about to relapse into thoughtfu|neSs
again.
"a girl l know was engaged to a
fellow an hour before he was engaged
to her."
"1mpossible!" exclaimed several.
GLOW did it happen?"
"WcH. he lived in Denver, she in
Boston, and she answered Yes by

The blonde young man looked re-
f'ectivc]y at the crowd. All the agents
looked mournfully at him, and one by
stole back into the hotel.

Controversy Between Rival Chinese
Theatrical Companies Discharge
of Assignee Ia Bankruptcy.

E. G. Winston, plaintiff, by his
attorneys, Kinney & Ballou, has
filed a demurrer to the answer of
Hawaiian Pork and Packing Co.,
defendant. The demurrer alleges,
among other grounds, that "it is
impossible to tell from said an
swer whether the defendant adj.
mits or denies the plaintiffs
claim, whereby no issue of fact is
present for the determination of a
Jury"
Judge Carter has granted the
discharge of W. II. Baird, as
signee in bankruptcy of Wing
Yee Tai Company.
A bill in equity for injunction
is being heard by Judge Carter.
Chong Nee Hing, for and on &C.
count of Loi Kwan Wing Co.,
prays that Chun Choi, Kan Wing
Chew and Fol Fun Wung Co. be
enjoined from trespassing on the
boards of the old Chinese theater.
Plaintiff alleges that, with full
authority from the company he
represents, he is lessee Of the
thester, and that from
February, 1896, performances
have been continuously given
therein, from which the company
has derived good financial profits.
Loo Chat Sam, the complainant
says, Is n stakeholder in the CON-
pany, aud he engaged the defend
ants to play q season in the theat-
er. Accordingly they occupied the
place during last week, giving
their performances and retaining
ell the receipts for admission.
This was in defiance of the au-
thority and control of Chong Nee
Hing, who is manager as well as
lessee of the theater. Complain
ant feared that there would be q
breach of the peace between the
rival companies last night, there
fore procured a temporary injunc.
ton to restrain the defendants
from occupying the theater until

proceedings. Castle and Weaver

versation. The alleged grounds
OF the proceeding involve course

PENDANT calculated to destroy the
conjugal and domestic peace of
the complainant. 1t is asserted
by friends Of the complainant
that this course has been persist

First-CIasS Doctrine,

Mayor Harrison of Chicago offers a
sensible and timely comment on civil
service reform when. in justification
of his recent removal of a partisan
board of civil service commissioners,
he says IF the civil service law
means anything. it is for the whole
people and not for the benefit of any
one party. l thought so before l was
elected and l think so still. / think
every honest Democrat is in favor of
real civil service, the taking out of
politics of all the strictly clerical and
subordinate positions OF the municipal
government. The mayor does not wish
10 be bothered with place hunters of
this character nor does any other Of
fetal. The public service is bettered by
having these positions filled by merit
examinations. But, no matter which
party is successful. the chief executive
of the city is entitled to surround him
self with a cabinet of his cwn, made
up of men in harmony with the manner
in which he proposes to conduct the
affairs of the city. The civil service
law never meant to deprive him of this
privilege"
To this broad principle of interpre-
tation 1t is impossible to take honest
exception. Those extremists who ar
que for the retention in office, after a
change in party administration, of all
held-over incumbents do violence and
harm to the cause which they profess
TO advocate. 1t is proper that subor-
dinates whose duties are simply of a
routine character should not be subject
to disturbal with every variation in
the political weather-vane; but on
the other hand, responsible lieutenants
entering Intimately into the execution
of a new Administrations policy should
he in political sympathy with their
chief and should be held answerable to
him for the manner in which they per.
form their duties. Any law that ham.

WHY GOLD GOES ABROAD.

From the New York Sun.
The balance of trade cannot be taken as
an absolute indication of the trend Of the
gold flow. The figures in the balance
shee take no cognizance of the exchanges
constantly passing between this country
and foreign countries. These are num-
berless, and the exact state of them at
any one time cannot definitely be known.
Rents and interest and divideds are
steadily going over the water to foreign
owners of property here. Queen Victoria
herself owns property in New York city.
The great number of American in Europe
expend a lot of money there which has
got to go over In gold, in exchanges, or
otherwise. There are individual New
Workers over there now on comparatively
short visits who do not hesitate to make
purchases up to $25, 900 and S30,0O0 or up to
100000 or $20o,OCO, If they see something
that they happen to want. There are, be-
sides, rich Americans who live abroad
now and draw incomes from here. The
earnings of their property are remitted
in gold. These are few Of the Incidental
reasons why god goes out. and the rela-
tion of the various conditions to each
other in the commercial and financial
worlds differs at different times.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF RAIL.
WAYS.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Public ownership of railroads is a
scheme that has a record. 1t has been
tried in Germany, in Italy, in Australia.
and in Brazil Why do not its advocates
cite the facts of experience in those coun-
tries? Higher cost and inferior service
are reported from Germany. Goss frauds
and general mismanagement are reported
from Australia. In Italy and Brazil the
government management of railways was
so bad that 1t lad to be abandoned, and
the business was farmed out to corpora
tions
But, if all the facts of experience were
reversed, how could the United States
government get control Of the railroads?
They represent a capitalization of about
Sl2, 900, 100000. Should we undertake 10
borrow that amount and pay cash? The
annual interest on such a loan at per
cent. would be almost $500 900, 900. Where
is the party that would dare to go into a
campaign on a proposition to add $l2, 2,OOO,-
000,0 to our public debt? Where are the
voters who would vote to add 100000 men
to the list of federal place-holders?
