About this time of year come proud assertions from every base ball team in the country that it has indubitably the strongest nine in it's particular league and might as well erect a pole at once for the floating of champion ship pennant All of which is harmless enough and is supposed, we believe, to add to the interest of the game as well as to the gate receipts of the first part of the season.

The outraged Kentuckians who were present at the christening of the Ken lucky with a bottle of water, got in their work after all and partially re- deemed the name and fame of the Blue Grass state by bombarding the battleship with Old Bourbon as she gracefully glided into the water. Ken lucky will always have more confi- dence, after this exhibition of local pride, in the staying qualities of the big ship.

HIS BIG MARRIAGE FEE.

BRIDEGROOM Loses His Chewing To-
bacco and the Preacher Profits.
The ministerial story teller was spin
ming another yarn about his expert
ences at other peoples weddings, says
the Marquette (Mich.) Mining Journal.

he said, "resulted from my receiving
the strangest one. My services were

a young couple out of the wealthiest
families of my parish. 1t was church
At the conclusion Of the ceremony the
groom handed me a small envelope
which 1 supposed contained my fee.
Of course, did not open it until got
home. Imagine my surprise when I
found, not money, but liberal chew of
fne-cut tobacco. My good sense told
nee that it was not intended as an in
suit, so awaited developments.
"a fortnight later, when the newly
married couple had returned from their
wedding tour, the groom called on me,
offered most profuse apologies and
made explanations. 1t seems that he
was addicted to the use of tobacco and
had placed little in an envelope for
his needs right after the ceremony. He
had placed my fee in similar envelope
and in the confusion of the ceremony

mixed the two. By way of reparation
he then placed in my hand another en-

GREAT MEN AND POLITICS.
All of the Foremost Statesmen of
America Were Pronounced
Partisans.

Somebody says that Lincoln was
partisan. Of course he was partisan.
He was a republican from the party's
foundation until his death, and he was
a whig previously. Every statesman
who accomplishes anything is neces-
sarily partisan. Popular opinion can
not be ascertained nor the popular will
carried out except through the medium
of parties, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Ever since the foundation
of the government, save for few years
in the so-called "era of good feeling"
during Monroe's presidency, there were
two great parties in the country, and
everybody who counted for anything in
politics belonged to one or other of
these parties. Every president has been
a partisan. Washington was one,
though many writer's pretend he was
not-that he held himself outside and
above each of the parties of his day.
Washington belonged to the party of
Hamilton, Adams, Morris and the
Pinckneys, the party which constructed
the framework OF American institu
tions, and which laid down the lines on
which the government has been con-
Quoted by every party which has con-
trclled it-federalist, democratic, ma
tional, republican, whig and republican.
He was a federalist. Lincoln was an
avowed, courageous and persistent par
tisan. But he was never a sectionist
nor demagogue.

AN IMPERIAL INVENTOR.
1t Is Said Emperor William Will
Give the World n New EIec-
trical Car.

The career Of American electric street
railway apparatus in Germany may be
destined to be a short and merry one,
for the news has come very circumstan-
TALLY of late that the emperor himself
proposes to invent new electrical car
for Berlin, and if for Berlin, then
Germany. A few years back Prince
Henry, the emperor's brother, re-
peated all the sensational Tesla
experiments with currents of high
voltage and high frequency, and
not many months ago we noted the fact
in these columns that the emperor, the
prince and some high army officers
we're taking a special electrical course
Of study. This all goes to confirm the
rumor, says the Electrical Engineer.
We are sure that his majesty can help
the electric railway art materially, for
it has been said that he has a rolling eye
of genius just like Edison's, although
we have never seen Mr.. Edison roll his
eye, unless wink is included in the eX-
preston. But what worries us is that
we don't see where the emperor is to get
the time; he is so busy. There is Tur
key to be patronized; Greece to be
snubbed; Russia to be fiattered; France
to be fouted; England to be insulted,
and China to be cut up, all of which he
is giving personal attention to consci-
entiously. But his majesty is also
otherwise engaged. in oratory, music,
art, the drama, yachting and a few
other diversions.

THE MOUSE IN THE PIANO.

1t Ran Out at the Sound of Classical
Music, But Not for Two-Steps.
Speaking of MICE" said Mr.. Biffie-
by. according to the New York Sun, "a
friend of mine that owns an oldfash-
ioned piano tells me that when it was
being played upon the other day a
mouse ran out of it and scampered
around on the top and then ran down a
curtain whose folds touch the piano at
one end. The mouse has done this
twice in a single day.
"Search was made~in the interior of
the instrument for a mouse's nest, but
none was found. Perhaps the mouse
had only just selected this place and
had not yet begun building when it was
first attracted by the sound of the
strings. However that may be, it still
comes back, and it comes out and runs
away only when classical music is
played, and not for two-steps and that
sort of thing.
'As to the accuracy of these facts
there can, of course, be no doubt. The
only question. in my own mind is as to
whether the mouse's failure to come
out when the two-steps and so on are
played really indicates preference for
the lighter forms of music, or that
er-r-the mouse isn't there"

candescent Electric Light.
"Many of my best and most valuable
and most merchantable thoughts" said
a man who writes things for living,
'come to me after l have gone to bed at
night. 1t is true that cares oppress me
sometimes then and keep me awake,
but not often; that is usually my time
for building castles in the air, and for
having people leave me fortunes, and
for conjuring up all manner of good
luck; and in this joyous mental atmos-
phere often have happy ideas that can
be worked up and turned to account.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

To remove black grease stains from
clothing, wash with soap and cold wa
ter. Hot water would only set the
marks.
Discolored enameled saucepans can
often be made to look like new by boil
ing a little chloride of lime in the water
with which they are filled.
Admit plenty of air to your store
room on clear dry day, for air is neces~
sary to all sweet preserves. Those kept
in IN air-tight room or cupboard are
apt to ferment.
To test the purity of coffee, pour cold
water on ii. If the water assumes a
brownish hue, it may be concluded that
there is chicory with it.
To clean an enameled bath take one
heaped tablespoonful of kitchen salt,
moisten it with turpentine, and with it
scour the bath. Then rub with a clean
clcth. Before beginning operations
take care that the bath is perfectly dry.

A NEW COUP IN DUELING.
The Wounded Honor of a sicilian Dep
uty Satisfied After TN Unpre-
cedented Fashion

1t was Mark Twain who said that one
of the chief dangers of French duelists
would be removed if they were COM
PEELED to fight in glass cages, which
would prevent any possibility of their
taking cold. Another danger to duel
lists appeared not long ago when two
Italian politicians attempted to satisfy
their wounded honor at a dueling place
in Rome that is frequented by the most
exclusive fighters. This is a little clump
of trees situated in the heart of the
Roman Campagna. The trees are thick
ly branched and grow so close together
that the copse is practically impene-
trable except by narrow path that
runs through the trees, says the New
York Sun.
Sicilian deputy had been offended
by another deputy, and the two met at
this spot to fight. Just as they crossed
swords the Sicilian deputy uttered
cry and dropped his weapon. He was
about to fail, and his seconds rushed
forward to support him. No blood was
visible at first, but when he was exam
ined signs of wound were seen on his
back. AS it was impossible that his an
tagonist could have struck him in the
back, the seconds were astonished upon
discovering a wound that had been in
ficted apparently by the point of a
rapier. An examination showed that
a sharp twig from one of the trees had
penetrated the deputy's back when he
stepped backward to take his position.
1t was dry and strong and penetrated
the linen shirt as we'll as the skin.
His adversary's seconds expressed the
opinion that their principals honor had
been satisfied, and new coup was
added to the list of those known already
in the art of dueling.
