Having recently recovered from an at
tack OF typhoid fever. which caused the
loss of her hair, a young woman of this
city is obliged to wear a wig. In mo-
ment of frolic, she took 1t off and hung
II on the chandelier.
Take 1t Off the gas jet, quickv' ex-
claimed her husband.
"Why?"
1T may make you light-headed."
She gazed at him in deep admiration
and said
That's Just splendid You are ever
and ever so clever! I'm going to remem-
Der that and tell 1t to mother when she
comes"
When the visit occurred, she waited
until there was a lull in the conversa-
tion, and with great deliberation, hung
the wig on the chandelier as before. Then
she coughed until she had attracted her
mothers attention:
what made you do that?" was the
natural inquiry. 3D..
oh" exclaimed the daughter. GLOW
very reckless of me. / shouldn't think
of doing such thing"
Why not?" inquired her husband COM
Ing to her rescue.
'Because-er-a--that Is to say, for the
reason that it may make me diz7yv'
she never made reference to the calm
fortitude with which her mother met
the sally, but she did have something
very caustic to say about the egotism
or a man who laughs immoderately over
MS own attempts at humor.-Washing-

TO SHERLOCK HOLMES, GHOST

When Sherlock Holmes, ingenious man,
pursued his strange career.
We studied his adventures with a sym
pathy sincere,
Although in time his victories monoton-
Gus became,
Because his base opponents never won a
single game.
He caught his latest criminal, and then
at last-he died;
1--WE mourn him, We lament him, but it's
time he went" we cried;
All, foolish words! Soon after we re-
GREETED him, dismayed
To find he'd left a family to carry on the
trade.
They swarm in every magazine, each
journal with them teens,
Detecting obvious criminals by very OBJ
Vious schemes.
Adapting to their purposes devices long
Invented by the master-hand Of great Ga
boriau.
Their wisdom, too, is marvellous; the mud
upon your boots ...-e
Informs them to a penny what your bal
ance is at Coutts';
They know your mothers maiden name
what train you travelled by,
And If you've had lumbago-from the
color of your tie!
Vel Sherlock Holmes is dead and gone;
but still In other shapes
We meet the old detective whom no GRIM
inal escapes;
The hateful Strange Occurrence" or
mysterious Affair."
Still, still infests the magazines and drives
us to despair.
Oh, ghost of Mr.. Sherlock Holmes, please
mercifully kill
These shameless imitators OF your tran
scendent skill.
or haunt the homes of editors and point
edly suggest
That dictionary criminals might be al
lowed a rest!

STEEL RAIL WAGON ROADS.

From the Springfield Republican.
The experiment of a steel track for
country roads, on which loads may be
hauled in ordinary vehicles, is to be tried
near Geneva, N. Y, by the agricultural
experiment station at that place. This
project has often been broached, and cer-
tainly was so over 40 years ago, but no
practical experiment has ever been made,
so far as we remember. And for good
reasons-the great expense of the rails for
one; and even now that the price of steel
is very low, the rails to be used at Geneva
VIII cost $500 a mile. Another reason is
that ordinary vehicles could not use steel
rails. there would have to be considerable
modification in wheels, brakes, etc, and
1t is doubtful whether it would pay to do
anything so long as horses or oxen are
to do the teaming-the self-movlng vehicle
first must be developed, and probably it
would be best to walt on the progress in
electrical appliances even then. Then
there must be for real convenience double
tracks, and, moreover, the roadbed would
have to be solid and substantial, to stand
all weathers. In fine, the steel rail is but
one item in what must come, and 1t is
rather odd to have it seriously spoken of
alone.

LIFE NOT SHORTENED.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
The common notion that the faster pace
of modern life is fatal to longevity is
pretty well exploded by some belated cen
sus figures that have just been publishe /
in Washington. From these figures 1t APP
pears that in 1890 there was in this country
greater proportion of the population
over seventy years Of age than there was
ten years before, and the census of 1890, il
is also noted, disclosed similar improve
ment over 1870 Those from seventy to
seventy-four years comprised 1.12 per cent
of the total in 1890 against only 80 per
cent. in 1880; for the next five years in
the scale the increase was from 56 to go
per cent, for the next five from 80 to SO
per cent, for the next five from 10 to IL
per cent, and finally the proportion of
persons between ninety and ninety-tive
years of age increased from .03 to .04 per
cent. 1t is nonsense, then, to say that
human life has been shortened by the de-
generacy, luxury and rapdity of modern
times.

THE GINGER SNAP.
From the Post-EXpress.

From the Post-EXpress.
A grave indictment has been framed
against the ginger snap. 1t has been com
monty supposed that the ginger snap was
one of the most reputable of American
institutions, that it was as guletess as
the goddess of innocence herself, But
alas, a woman is now living in one of the
hospitals of New York a physical wreck
who charges that ginger snaps have been
her ruin She developed an inordinate af-
fection for them as a child, the appetite
led her to the drinking of Jamaica ginger,
and tarrying too long at the Jamaica
ginger bottle has reduced her to her pres
ent forlorn condition-an inmate of the
alcoholic ward of Bellevue. Hence. the
serious question suggests itself-must the
ginger snap go?

1t gives The Tribune particular
pleasure to note that the gifted young
vocalist, Miss Sadie T.. Kaiser, who
served 1t so acceptably during two sea-
sons as its London correspondent. Is
to appear on the local concert stage
next Monday evening as the soprano
sololst with Sousa. The quality of Miss
Kaiser's voice. as endowed by nature
and developed by judicious training,
warrants mention on its own merit;
and what is even more to the point,
the possessor of that voice is a woman
whose pluck, brightness and sturdy
Americanism command the admiration
of all who know her. Miss Kaiser has
had fairly phenomenal success in her
brief professional career and promises
at no distant day to occupy COM
manding place among American con-
cert singers; but her good fortune has
not dulled her energy nor in the least
inflated her own opinion of herself.
The opportunity to greet her on Mon
day evening will, we doubt not be
eagerly embraced by Scranton patrons
of music.

REASON RATHER THAN PASSION

From the Times Herald.
The future settlement of differences be-
tween employers and employees must be
on the basis of friendly consultation of
mutual interests, without interference
from outside agitators, and must take a2-
count of markets, the condition of trade
and other industrial facts instead of rain
bow theories.

The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1897-05-27

The Morgan resolution, recog-
nizing Cuban belligrency, passed
the senate in short order, but is
hung up in the house, in respect
to the president. There is one good
feature in the rapidity with which
it passed the senate-it is out OF
the way of the pending tariff bill.
The house, however, in measure,
is justified in delaying action on
the resolution, awaiting an express
sion from the president, inasmuch
as he has dispatched a minister to
Cuba to ascertain the exact situa-
ton of affairs there. Upon re-
ceipt Of a report from his embassy
he will be in a condition to give
congress authoritive and intelli-
gent information as to the situa-
ton, and also able to advise as to
proper procedure to the Ameri.
cans in that country, and if posi-
BILE aid in terminating the war. It
would have been very unwise for
Mckinley to have made recon-
mendations to congress to take
action in the Cuban cause upon
unofficial reports. President Nc
Kinley will make sure he is right
and then go ahead.

The tariff bill is at last before

The tariff bill is at last before
the senate, and the country is
anxiously awaiting it's final pas
sage. Republicans are being con-
tinually ridiculed by democrats
and silverites because Of the slow
return Of prosperity, and from
their expressions it would appear
that they expect that the present
administration can build up in a
few months what the democratic
''reforms' have torn down during
the past few years. The republi-
cans claim that the country is los
ing and will continue to lose an
amount equal to one million dol
lars for every days delay in the
enactment of the tariff bill.
In reference to the delay Of the
bill by opposition, the democrats
say they they will only crate
enough to define their position
and record their protest. Every
one knows a democrats position
in regard to a protective tariff,
and they can safely be entered on
record as against the bill without
any fowery orations; but they de-
sire to occupy the time with dis
cussion to prevent the bill from
taking effect at an early date, that
the country may be flooded with
foreign goods in order that the
benefit Of the Dingley bill will not
be apparent to the people as ad.
vocated by the republican party.
IF the democrats are as positive
Of the disastrous effects as they
set forth, why not permit the pas.
sage Of the bill without delay in
order that the people may realize
it without a doubt, because if the
bill proves a failure the country
cannot be in much worse condi.
ton than it was under the past
administration.
