Who Owned the Rabbit9

From the Danvile Ky.) Advocate.
 Ex-Gov. Proctor Knott and a distin- guished professional gentleman of Dan- vile were discussing the claims of Sampson and Schley to the credit of smashing Ger vera at Santiago. The professional gentle man took the ground that all the honor of that memorable conflict belonged to Ad- miral Sampson, and was inclined to ig- nore entirely Commodore Schley's part in the affair. The governor listened until his companion had finished, and then. with that characteristic twinkle in his eye, said:
 My dear sir, it is exceed ngly gratifying to me to hear you take the position you have in this matter. It is like balm to my conscience and settles point that has wor- ried me many a day.
 'I was walking through the woods with a boy friend of mine when we saw a rabbit run into sinkhole. We stood around the hole awhile; then I told the boy to keep watch while I went to get some fire to smoke the rabbit out. When returned the boy had the rabbit. I promptly took it away from him, claiming that it. belonged to me. because I had told him to catch him if he came out.
 "That was over fifty years ago, and you are the first man who has ever agreed with me that the rabbit was mine. feel now that was right in taking it. and my con- science is at rest"

 Miss Lucille Morrow, as Alice Ainsley acted throughout with care and effective ness She was composed and moderate, and gradually wrought out just the exact pitch of the sharp climax. She did not rant, as she easily might have done in such part, but even in the last scene she was as calm as one would be who had been brave enough to face MT. Fyles's tragic ending. If she seized the cup of poison in a sort of La Tosca manner, 1t was exactly in harmony with the characetr and the scene It suited, too, the bravado note of the whole drama.

SOME STORIES OF
 PROMINENT PEOPLE
Why Mrs. Gov. Leeay Wins votes


 From the Washington Post. c. A Burney, a young Kansas City att torney, and formerly manager of the uni nor Leedy for funny reason. He tells the story in this way:
 "There was some talk of bill in 1897 for the abolshment of foot ball, and the governors moving to Lawrence gave us an opportunity to do little work, as We thought It was the second day after the arrival of the Leedy family that l was delegated to go down to his house and ar range for the whole foot ball team to visit them.

I arrang for the foot ball team to visit the governor and his wife, and we did On my second call Mrs. Leedy said she had something to say to me, and she laughed.

Chauncey Dcpew Cornered

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 "I heard Dr. Chauncey Depew's eloquent speech the other night in the auditorium at Chicago" said MT. B. E. Prosser, of that city.
 'There was an incident of the speech that I did not see alluded to in the papers an incident that rather embarrassed the famous New Yorker. At one stage of ms address he alluded to Colonel Bryan, and before he could go on great cheer broke out Then Depew again started in to re- peat his mention of the Nebraskan, where upon the cheering was resumed with great CT vigor than before. This so OBVIOUSLY as concerted the orator that he showed it for a moment but quickly regaining his com posure proceeded with his speech, leaving Bryan out during the rest of his remarks

The Cost of Swell Weddings.

An eastern society woman, who IS un- usually clever at figures, has been consid- ering the cost of smart weddings, anu after adding one expense with another mas reached staggering total figure Her in- vestigation took into account only what might be regarded as the average swell function of this sort and she finds that BIO GOO is about what must be considered the necassarv figure. Of course affairs such AS the Marlborough wedding represent per hans ten times that amount These, how ever are exceptional cases, although they also go to show the possibilities of expendi- lure in this direction. In ordinary swell weddings the outlay can hardly be kept in- side five figures First. the bride must have a wedding gown. This may be worth any where from $10O lowell $5,O0O. It depends upon the quality of the material, the kinu of lace and standing of the coutouriere. Few gowns of fashionable brides cost less than $500 Cut this price in half and you have S250 Then there must be a "going away costume and a half dozen changes not to mention other articles, such as hats, gloves shoes, etc. It is safe to assume that what the average bride wears will cost papa S20O0. Then consider the gifts which the girl receives from relatives and friends. Sometimes a wealthy uncle or aunt gives her an exquisite bit of jewery that will be worth from 1,O0O to $5000; mother always does the same and perhaps father buys the couple a house for $5,O00 or $10,0OO. Here we have something Ike $15.0Oo more, exclusive of the hundreds of other presents outside Of the family. They may mean anywhere rom $, GOO to -s12 900.
 Now consider the cost of the reception or breakfast of the decoration of the church and the house, gifts to the maid Of honor and bridesmaids, luncheon to them, etc. These items may be regarded as incident als, as they really are the least expensive features of weddings, as rule. An aver age of s1O0O is quite small Unless the groom gives the wedding-that sometimes occurs. when the brides family has very little of the worlds goods-his end or the expense is considerably smaller. His gifts to the bride the ushers, etc., his outfit and his fees to the clergymen, etc., and his ex- penditure In travelling will certainly aver age s1. .5O0 Even if the home is bought by the brides family it is safe to assume that he will expend at least $1,00O in furnishing it. Probably he might buy the home, but this will not be assumed in this estimate. Incidental expenses will be probably $500 more So here is an average that might be given:
 Brides rousseau .......'....... sl,ooo Breakfast church decorations, etc... 2,0oo Gifts from family .............,......'... o'ooo Gifts from friends ....,..'.. I,ooo
 .rc.al .......... ................S0oo
 The above table does not include the pur- chase of the house or its furnishing. 1T they are included the amount, perhaps, might be doubled.

shrewd Wisconsin Congressman

From the Washington Post.
 Hon. Joseph G. Donnelly, who landed the democratic nomination for congress from the Milwaukee district, attributes his suc- cess to his enemies.
 Henry Delaney a local leader, more in fun than earnest, strongly advised him to get box at the democratic state conven- ton, which was held in an opera house, the most prominent box, and sit there during the whole convention. People who attended the convention will remember that this is what MT Donnelly did. He sat in single box during the entire convention, even at times when there were not half a dozen delegates in the hall, and he bravely held his place despite the fact that Delaney and the members of the Bon Ami club were frequently guying him from the center of the house.
 However Donnelly got in the last laugh. and 1t was at the expense of ex-Gov. Peck, as well as at Delaney.

Cleveland's Endurance

From the Philadelphia Times
 "The fact that President Mckinley mas
 been called upon lately to review so many processions recalls the incident in lSSS, when President Cleveland was on the re- viewing stand for six hours, and did not turn, his head from the line for moment in all that time. This is remarkable, for the reason that Cleveland was man or unusual physical weight. He did not upon
 that occasion once ask for drink of water, nor did he forget at any moment to make the proper salute. But when the ordeal was over he sank down in the chair pre- pared for him and said: sI should like to have glass of lemonade" This was far from the presidents usual tipple, but he wanted it very sorely, and he was not com pelled to wait for it very long.
 President Mckinley has been noted for his scrupulous attention to details upon parade events, but 1t Is doubtful if any president was quite equal to Cleveland
 upon these occasions. Grant said of them:
