1 O'Clock this morning saw an immense
meteor shoot across the sky When
married men are out at that hour, they
are afraid to confess it.
Mrs. Lysander John Appleton sent
telegram to DR.. Nehemiah Nickerson,
of Meriden, Conn, today, asking him
to come out and treat her great ANGLE,
who is ILL., The old gentleman wasted
his money and opportunities when he
was young, and arrived at the Apple
tons three years ago to spend his de
clining days with his great niece He
is a great nuisance, and tells every one
who calls that he doesn't get enough

chairs at him; that the children put

KATEFIELD'S LOYELETTER
IFrom the washington Post.l

If that charming woman, the late
Kate Field, did not marry, it was as
suredly not because she did not have
many an admirer. A Washington lady
has in her possession a little old bit of
yellow paper upon which is penciled
boyish scrawl. 1t was preserved by
Miss Field from her little girl days.The
scrawI runs thus:
won't yue, mete me down bye The
Gate after school Yue move Luv
yue.''
on the other side of the bit of paper
is the address, thus:
Miss Kate Field, Esq, last Seat mex
to the Door gOin out
It must have been like a breath of
the forgotten perfume of yesteryears
when the clever, kindly woman happen
ed upon this little old piece of yellowed
paper on a rainy afternoon of rum
magiug.

Comment of the Minneapolis Tribune

Comment of the Minneapolis Tribune
on Senator Harris trust remedy:
Senator Harris, of Kansas. has a
plan for the regulation and extfrpatiOn
of trusts. one feature of which is to
have the federal authority control the
issue of the bonds of corporations, not
conferring the right to issue until the
corporations property has been ap-
praised, and restricting the issue to
twO-rhirds of the value of the property
He thinks this provision would do away
with the speculative features. Very
well, but If the federal government is
to control the trusts to this extent it
may as well take entire control and
supervision
