Mr.. German appealed to the senate TO

A prediction was made by Mr.. Thurs

Blazing Frying Pan Dissipates One Chi
cagoan's Martial Ardor.
Down in one of the little restaurants
known as ''oyster bays" which are
usually located in basement saloons, q
pugnaciously disposed individual was
seated several evenings ago, and he was
looking for trouble. All of his imme-
date neighbors at the lunch counter
were peaceably disposed and the boy
behind the counter who was busily en-
gagged with an order was in too much
of a hurry to notice him. He had fin-
isted his own meal-small steak, pota-
toes, bread and butter and coffee, and
for some reason or other he was dis
satisfied with it.
he sat with an evening paper in his
hands, and he would read little in il
and then make clustering comments
with the evident hope of getting con-
trary opinion from somebody. But the
others were wary and he saw it and it
angered him. Rapping on the counter
with his right band he said, loudly:
"Wc ort to kill ever one O. them

'Oh! gosh" he howled, as he tumbled
from the stool and made for the door.

As the the door banged behind him
the merry echoes Of the general laugh

TOPOGRAPHY PARTIES" THE FAD

New Kind of Entertainment That Shows
How Little Some People Know.
Geography parties" are among the
new things IN the entertainment line.
They are instructive as well as enter
tanning, and it is astonishing how quick
~ they sometimes prove to one how
little he knows of even the geography of
his own country. In q party of score
Of persons. met for an evenings enter
tainment, it is doubtful if more than
one-ffth Of the number would often be
found able to bound" the Indian ter
ritory, for instance, ami name its cap
ital.
A young lady on the South side had a
capital party" the other night, at
which she gave prizes to the lady and
gentleman who named the most capital
cities of the country about which the
questions were asked. 1t developed at
this party" that but two of the score
of guests could name all the capital
cities even IN the United States and the
territories. There were people present
who would have it that San Francisco
was the capital of California, Jackson
vile of Florida, Louisville of Kentucky,
New Orleans of Louisiana and ST. Louis
of Missouri They had apparently for
gotten all about Sacramento, Talla-
hassee, Frankfort, Baton Rouge and
Jefferson City. There were others,
mostly women, who could not name a
city or town in Nevada, Arizona,
Idaho, Oklahoma or even In South Caro-
Ina, anaand Mississippi. The Dako-
tas puzzled good many, and there were
a few who couldn't recall the names Of
the capitals of such old New England
states as Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine. Two insisted that Philadelphia
was the capital OF Pennsylvania. 1t
was easy enough to remember, of
course, what was the capital when Har-
risburg was suggested, and so it was in
the other cases, but the contest served
to show very clearly how Tar away some
people get from their old grammar
school days of gcography.-Chicago

til the close of the present administra-
ton.
AS the private portion Of the White
House is at present arranged, there are
six bedcha mbers. President Cleveland
occupied a large room near the north
west corner on the second floor, but II
does not follow that the same apartment
will serve as the sleeping room Of his
successor. Mr.. Porter, Major McKin-
ley's secretary, was at the White House
for some time and looked carefully over
the interior. He was not prepared TO
indicate how the sleeping apartments
should be allotted but it seemed that his
fancy tended toward the bright, sunny
room on the southwest corner Of the
building, across the corridor from Pres
ident Cleveland's chamber, as the best
for Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley. This was
the bedroom of the Harrisons and be-
cause it is so CHEEKY and has a southern
exposure it appears best adopted to the
needs of Mrs. Mckinley. Very near to
it. on the same side of the central cor
ridor, is the library, really used as a sit
ting room, for, singulariy enough. the
White House has no actual private par
lcr. Communicating doors between the
rooms along the south front of the build
ing would afford the president easy ac-
cess to the official portion of the house.

ciated and starved companions, came out
