AN EVERYDAY HEROINE.

The Country Maiden. the Wicked stngs
 Company and tie Tailor Made Girl.
 Four reckless persons had elambered into the stage, m old man, middle aged woman, young man and tailor made girl At Fiftieth street a dress makers little girl struggled in with a huge box. Town life was evidently new to her. Her rosy checks announced country air to the least observing. She held her money in her hand.
 Looking dubieusly about, she finally spied the money box and dropped in the coin After this she waited expectantly Nothing occurred, however, and she began flushing and paling with nervous indecision At last she resolutely stood up, attracted the drivers attention and called to him;
 How do l get my change? put a quarter in the box, J she asked.
 Yese oughter a-handed it up, said the man. 'Yese can't git it now "
 But it's all l have, J protested the girl
 Git it off the new passengers, " yell ed the driver and turned away
 It was all the money she had but how could she get it off the new pas sengers?" Every one in the stage had become interested, but no one volun- teered any advice. Two tears rolled down the rosy cheeks.
 The stage stopped, and an old lady scrambled i'll. As she took out her mon- ey, cent piece, the tailor made girl leaned over to her.
 Will you give me that for this little girl?, she asked. ''She dropped in quarter by mistake, and the driver said the new passengers might make it Up to her "
 The old lady beamingly handed over the nickel She felt that the stage com pany was being rigidly but justly dealt with at last
 Then man got in This was harder for the tailor made girl, but she made l the request again and handed @ second fare to the grateful young person from l the country. The whole stageful was now interested watching for new pas senger as a spider watches for a fly. A woman waved desperately from down side street for the stage to wait for her, but the driver passed on unheeding and 1 exclamations of disgust arose. Another corner, and another smartly dressed girl 1 got i'll. The new arrival did not seem at first to understand the request, and, l flushing, the tailor made girl repeated 1t and secured one more of the precious 5 cent pieces.
 The little girl had reached her desti- nation
 "I am so much obliged, <" hemurmur- ed to the heroic maiden who had been taking up fares i'll her behalf II ought to get out here, so guess I'll let the other go
 No, no, you must not, said the fair conductor, opening her purse "Take this and can get it from the next one who gets i'll. "
 You are awfully good, " murmured the unsuspicious little one with new tears in her eyes, and one of the men took the big box and handed 1t down to her when she had stepped out.
 The stage rattled on and the tailor made girl looked uneeneernedly out of the window. Tho next passenger was allowed to drop his fare unmolested into the box, unconscious of the little comedy that had brought the others to- gether in a common interest for a mo- ment, and the stage company was still ahead of the game.

cLEo's THRIFTY MOTHER

Washed and Ironed the Dancers Clothes
 and Walked Miles For Twenty Cents.
 The parsimony of foreign celebrities who come to this country has been ire quently amusing to Americans. There have been some very striking instances of it in recent years, but the mother of Mile Cleo de Merode seems to have car ried off the palm in this respect. Sal vini, it is said, was so penurious that he bought a sandwich on the street for 5 cents rather than pay for his supper at Q hotel, and one of the stories told about him on his last visit to this country was that once in Philadelphia he gave the porter of hotel a penny and told him to buy him three taeks. The actor had discovered that his trunk was damaged, and he wanted to repair it himself.
 Tamaqua was notorious here for his stinginess. It was said that he sold the tickets sent to him in view of his artists privilege and hired his own brother as valet because he could be got at cheap figure Then he used to make him roll his trunks around on truck at the for eign custom houses rather than pay the porters fee for the work. Herr Van Biene marked as @ curiosity and sent back to England hotel bill of fare on which he had marked the price, $1. 30. for a tenderloin steak as one of the won- ders of an extravagant and youthful country. It may have been nothing more than good business judgment which prompted Mile. Calve to look for business manager while she was here and then express the greatest astonish- ment that such an assistant of the most capable kind could not be hired for $10 week.
 These are some of the stories told about tho highly paid foreigners who come to exhibit themselves here But Cleo's mother holds the record. It is said that she astonished the servants at the Imperial hotel by washing her daughters clothes in the bathtub and ironing them herself On the day before they returned to Europe the ballerina and her mother were seen on lower Broadway. They had gone down to one of the exchange offices i'll order to get 6100 in French money. It was raining An acquaintance met the two just as they were coming out of the office
 "Why, that wretch inside, ex- claimed the mother indignantly, wants to give me only 517 francs for $100. " Then Mime. Ia Mere de Cleo de Merode put up her umbrella with mighty em- phasis and stepped out on to the side walk. Why, man offered me 518 up town. But I thought could get 520 down here. Now we shall have to walk up town, for otherwise there will be no profit left for us :" Then Cleo and her mother started to erudge up town. The dancer received $9, 900 for her appear nnces here.-New York Sun.

acquiescence of the population, 30
that there may be some pretext for
pretending that it has right to
barter away the sovereignty OF Ha-
wall. But that any one connected
with the government of the United
States would seriously contemplate
the forcible seizure of the islands,
upon an occasion prepared by collu-
sion in advance, is not to be believed.
Those who support the treaty of
annexation are the most bound to
maintain that it is a legitimate
treaty and as such subject to the
requirements OF the Constitution.
If it fail to receive the consent Of
two-thirds Of the Senate, as seems
now virtually assured, that must be
the end OF it. 1t would mean that
constitutional assent had been with
held from the annexation Of Hawaii
and to undertake annexation then
in some other way would destroy
every argument by which tho treaty
has been defended and would pro-
claim its fraudulent intent.
Frightfully mistaken as we believe
them to be, we readily assume the
sincerity of Mr. Mckinley and Mr.
Davis in advocating annexation. But
they are both OF Thorn men who be-
lieve in the Constitution, and that
either OF them contemplates or
would countenanco any OF the con-
stitutional evasions suggested by
the annexationists and their organs
is impossible. From all appear
ances the treaty is beaten as it
stands to-day, and it matters little
whether the vote be taken soon or
late or not at all. Though annexa-
ton by means Of this treaty would
be only an indirect seizure, yet it
does in measure comply with the
forms OF law. To attempt annsxa-
ton in any other way would be sim
ply open filibustering, moro repre-
hensible and indefensibls than any
thing of which we complain against
the European powers in the East,
and any official of the United States
engaged in it would be proper sub
iect of impeachment.-Ph Philadelphia,

Impossible Hawaiian Schemes.

1t is simply impossible to believe
what some Washington correspond
ents persistsntly declare, that the
Hawaiian schemers, satisfied that
their treaty cannot be ratified, con-
template annexation by bill or joint
resolution. That would be a mode
OF annexation not much less dis
honest than the other, but it would
be so fragrant in its contempt for
law and decency that its success is
inconceivable.
Equally or more inconceivable is
the suggested conspiracy between
President Mckinley and President
Dole for repetition of the Stevens
outrage. That was Infamous enough,
but we were able to say that it was
arranged with the United States
Minister without the knowledge of
his government, and its disavowal
at Washington, when the facts were
officially ascertained, cleared the
record OF the United States. While
it is true that the Dole Government
in Hawaii exists solely as result OF
Minister Stevens military interior
ence, it has acquired a kind OF recog-
milton by the lapse OF time and the

President Doie's Admissions.

Another argument OF the annexa-
tionists has been exploded by The
admissions Of President Dole. We
have been assured by the friends Of
the pending treaty that the moment
the United States rejects the offer
Of the Hawaiian Government the
latter stands ready to enter upon
negotiations with England or some
other great power. Therefore il we
refuse to accept the islands, we are
told, we shall lose great prize to
one OF our rivals.
The weight of this reasoning is
now destroyed by the testimony OF
the very highest authority in the
Hawaiian Republic. President Dole
himself, in his Chicago interview,
says in answer to question as to
what would follow the rejection OF
the annexation proposition: 81 don't
know that anything will happen ex-
cept that things will go on as usual.
don't see any immediate danger
from possession by any other country
All Of our constitution and
our legislation for some time past,
while it has looked forward to an
nexation, has completely prepared
the way for the republic to continue
indefinitely"
That is to say, the lingo statesmen
who have been pointing to the dread
full alternative of England's selling
eagerly upon the chance if the Unit
ed States should be so shortsighted
as to lose il, to take possession Of
the Hawaiian Islands, have been
reckoning without their host. The
Dole Government has no intention
whatever Of turning over the little
republic to any other country than
the United States, and If annexation
to the United States fails, "things
will go on as usual"
To the previous testimony of a
high English authority, Mr.. James
Bryce, that England does not want
Hawaii, we can now add the state
ment OF President Dole that the
Hawaiian Government has no inten-
ton of seeking English annexation.
The only danger to be anticipated
from the failure OF American annex
alton would be the one pointed out
by Mr.. Dole in his interview; that is
to say the forcible seizure of the ISL
ands by some power too strong for
the Hawaiians to resist. If there
should at any time arise good ground
for apprehending such plot by one
OF the powers, the United States
could easily prevent its execution.
In these days of international law,
none Of the great powers would
have the hardihood to seize upon
and absorb an independent nation,
however small, especially in the face
of the strong protest which the
United States would naturally make.
So it follows from the representa-
tions Of unquestionable authority
that the only consequence Of the
rejection of Hawaii by the United
States will be the continued exist
ence of the little republic as an in
dependent nation-certainly not an
alarming thing for Americans to
contemplate, President Dole's ad-
missions will strengthen the con-
viction that the annexation treaty
ought to be rejected.-Detroit, Mich:

Jury Trials
May 30 1895

The outcome of murder trials at
present evinces clearly enough the
unwillingness of petit juries to find
criminals, indicted by a grand jury
guilty of the worst otfense against
the law and society, namely, pre-
meditated murder, and the reluct-
ance of judges to pronounce its
extreme penalty. But there is no
escaping the penalties which ma
ture exacts for disregard of her
laws. Dyspepsia, born of impru-
deuces in eating and drinking,
rheumatism caused by needless ex-
posure in inclement weather, dang
erous organic troubles resulting
from unchecked inactivity of the
kidneys, and all sOcalled minor
ailments are durable with Hos

CHANCE FOR AN OPERA HOUSE.

We had a long talk last nigh With
Mr.. Lynch, the agent Of Brown
Brothers, who owns the Arcade
market building, 75xl4O feet, with
three brick buildings thereon, and
he said he was here to dispose OF
the property as he was on a trade
some time ago with a party Of cap
italists, who represented that they
wanted the building to convert it
into an opera house.
Mr. Lynch tells us that Brown
Brothers, If a stock company is
formed, and the right kind of deal
Is made with them, that they will
tit the building up for an opera
house by making the desired altera'
tions in walls, roof, etc, and fit the
stage up with all the accessoriesNoi
a modern theatre, and will then
turn 1t over to a responsible organ
lied or chartered company and give
them twenty or thirty more years
to pay for it in.

here, we think this is our chance

vest in such an enterprise will neyel

with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven

He Out Talked the Whistle.

warmed up and was using his best
persuasive powers on the sinners,
at the big tent, to get them to
turn from their evil ways, the Iron
Mountain train came laundering
in and when the engineer put his
foot on the whistling pedal and set
it going, it would not release itself,
but hung fire on the caliopeOn
voice it gave out and the length OF
time it kept up the unearthly
noise, caused every neck in the tent
except the preachers to become
one of rubber, and all peered out
IN the dark from under the folds OF
the tent, in the direction of the
noise, thinking perhaps that a fire
was consuming the whole universe.

ton to the sinners to turn from
the wrath that is sure to come.
