The Touch of Nature.


Princess Pauline of Wurttembers,
who was married few months ago,
had before her marriage a somewhat
unusual letter from a peasant girl. 1t
read:
Dear Miss Princess Pauline-Your wedding is to
be on Saturday, and wish you every happiness
am sure you are very happy. My wedding is on
the same day. and should be very happy, too, if
my father were not sitting in prison. If your ia
ther were in prison, you, too, would grieve Dear
Miss Princess, beg OF you say good word to
your father so that he may let my father off or
at least let him for few hours so that he
may come to my wedding. With much love.
Yours
There was too much sympathy be.
tween the maiden in palace and the
maiden in 4 peasants cottage to let
this appeal pass unnoticed. 1t might be
a fraud and the father hardened Of
fender, but the princess wanted to
know. She took the letter to the king
OF Wurttemberg, and inquiries were
made as to the degree of culpability of
this man VINO must sit in prison on
his daughters wedding day. 1t was
found that he was only slight Of
fender, and he was not only "let out
for the wedding" but was given free
pardon.

front and extending around the back.
There is little space between these

The Bee. Took Back Their uon.

The Bees Took Back Their Honey.
A correspondent writes from Hamp.
shire to relate curious incident in the
bee world. a cottager took two large
bars of honey and square section
from one of his hives. This honey he
put into large pan and covered it
with cloth, placing it in an up stairs
room of his cottage. During the day
the bees got scent of the honey through
the open window, and the whole hive
entered the room, crept under the cloth
cover and took away all the honey in
an Incredibly short time and stored it
III their hive again. The quantity was
about ten pounds in weight.-London

Button, button, who wants but

every woman who stops to examine his
wares is pretty sure to answer, II do"

size, but they're very handsome this
season, and, of course, expensive in
proportion to their beauty.

A sharks egg is one of the oldest
looking things imaginable 1t is unpro-
vided with shell, but the contents are
protected by thick, leathery covering,
almost as elastic as india rubber. The
average size is two inches by two and
three-quarter inches, and the color ia
almost pure black.

Cuba's Future.

here seems to be a general concen-
sus of opinion among Americans re-
turning from Cuba that there is a
strong and growing desire among the
educated and property classes of the
island for annexation to the United
S-ates lhe agitation for the speedy
withdrawal of the authority of the
United States and early recognition of
independence, it is said, proceeds prin-
cipally from the uneducated and nom
property holding classes, which EN-
brace nearly all of the colored popula-
tion of the island. They furnished per-
Eaps a majority of the lnsurgent
forces, and are Therefore entitled to a
voice in the disposition of the future of
the island. At the same time most of
the leaders of the incurrection were
whI,e, and the white population, it is
said, is daily becoming more favorable
to annexation. The insurrection fail
ed of its object until the United States
gave it decisive aid, thereby earning
the right to take a friendly interest in
the future welfare of the island and Its
peop.e
The United States government is
pledged to permit the people of Cuba
to decide their own future, and this
pledge will be kept. 1t is, however
its manifest duty, both toward the peo-
pie OF Cuba and those of the United
States, that there shall be an assur-
ance of good government in the island
before it surrenders its authority
therein. A reasonable delay there
fore in submitting the question of the
future of Cuba to vote of its people
will be amply justified. That delay
should be long enough to make 1t GER
tain that the issue Is thoroughly un'
de"stood by the Cubans and that theil
votes will De cast without any fraud
or coercion. n.-Pittsburg Times.

no ghostly pictures of the past intrude
upon the scene. Let II be known that
the real projectors of the scheme to
make a political harvest out of Nc
Leans visit are chiefly Democrats OF
recent brood who know more about
and evidently care more about figures
when represent the money volume in
political warfare than they do about
historic figures of personal worth.
Sober contemplation of the ways of
such youth suggests to the Plain Deal
er, as it must to all thinking Demo-
Gratis, Jhis passage:
"And when the people saw that
Moses delayed to come down out of the
mount the people gathered themselves
together unto Aaron, and said unto
him. Up, make us gods, which shall go
before us: for as for this Moses, the
man that brought us up out of the land
of Egypt, we wot not what is become
of him.
"And Aaron said unto them, Break
off the golden earrings, which are in
t.-e ears of your wives, of your sons
and of your daughters, and bring them
unto me.
"And all the people broke off the
golden earrings, which we're in their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
And he received them at their hand
and fashioned 1T with craving tool,
after he had made it molten calf:
and they saIid These be thy gods, o
Israel, VIII. brought thee up out of
of the land of Egypt"
Although Cuyahoga county is sorely
in need of rain we hope McLean's brief
stay in Cleveland, the metropolis of
Ohio, may be spent under cloudless
skies and that he may carry back with
him to his home in Washington vivid
impressions of an Ohio city which,
like his own, possesses wide thorough
fares and magnificent distances. -

MIR. Mclean in Cleveland.

1t Is announced that Cleveland will
be visited today by Mr.. John R. Nc
Lean,a prominent resident of Washing
ton, D. C. The coming of Mclean has
reopened the question of his actual
place of residence, some uninformed
persons going so far as to contend that
he is a citizen of Ohio The city direc-
tory of cincinnati, the publishers of
which surely have means for securing
accurate information upon such sub
jects, contains the following reference:
John R. Mclean, proprietor Gin
cinnati Enquirer, 617 Vine street, res
ence Washington, D. c."
The city directory of Washington, D.
c.. adds its testimony as follows:
John r. Mclean, president Wash
ington Gas Light company, 400 Tenth
street. N. W; house, 1900 l street, N.
w"
Thus it will be seen that Washington
City claims him for her own and Gin
cinnati admits the justice of the claim.
This question having been settled,
those citizens of Cleveland who are
prompted to extend greetings to a
conspicuous figure in the business af-
fairs of the city upon the Potomac can
understandingly do So
1t seems, however, that a number of
politicians ever out for the feshpots
In partisan strife, and affecting to rec
Ognize in Mr.. Mclean a consistent
claimant for Democratic support in his
singular race for Ohio gubernatorial
hOnors, intend to construe his visit
here as having political significance
This is bad form. AS well mar the in
nocent pleasures of the occasion by re-
calling at his time the reception given
in the Forest City to great historic
figures Of Democracy, such as Thur
man, Tilden, Pendleton and others
who in turn came under the ban Oi
the Democratic" journal published all
No. CIT Vine street in Cincinnati.
All good citizens would deprecate
such conceptions of hospitality. Lei

There is one performance at the Fair
that should not be allowed to proceed,
and that is the wrestling match be-
tween a bear and bull dog. 1t is a
very cruel performance, and should
not be tolerated.
"A Democratic victory in Ohio this
fall, when the principles of the Zanes-
vile convention are written on the
banner of the Democracy, would lead
to the same disastrous results w-lch
followed the national election of 1892
The eyes of the nation are turned on
Ohio, the presidents own state. A
Democratic victory in Ohio this fall
would be a repudladon of President
McKlnley's policy, and a national dl-
saster.
While capital stands ready at this
time to invest in any promising enter
prise, the moment that it becomes
known that the state of Ohio has failed
TO indOrse the president, capital will be
alarmed. Capital in this country has
always been sensitive to the prenmin-
airy sings of pohCical upheaval Capt.
tai was never more sensitive tnan at
this time We oniy need to go back to
the fall OF 1895 to appreciate the effect
of the coming storm upon the business
of the country. Capital was tied up
and the business of the country was
idle until the storm of 1896 had passed.
Republicans must not underrate the
present danger, A Democratic victory
this fall will tie up the business of the
country Immediately and capital will
lie in hiding until the election of 1900,
and perhaps longer just as surely as it
did in 1895 and 1896 Thousands of en-
terprises that would have been under
taken with Judge Nash as governor
will be abandoned N the event of a
Lemocratlc victory. l feel confident in
4 e sense of the people of Ohio, but
Republicans must not lie down for a
single day."-Ohio State Journal.

EXTENDED.
Washington County Fair to Be Con-
tinued Over Saturday.

The first real day of the Fair was
Thursday, the morning breaking in a
most propitlous manner for the aus
piclous occasion.
The railroads and the boats brought
into the city hundreds of visitors and
early i'm the day the streets were alive
with people come to town 10 see the
Fair.
AT the grounds humanity fairly
swarme e., 1t being estimated that there
were near eight thousand people pres
ent. The gates receipts showed up
we'll, too, for the box office showed
about S1.5OO to the good.
The agricultural feature is not all
that might be desired, still there are
some very good exhibits. The display
of apples is particularly fine Some
very good displays of fine cattle, sheep
and hogs are to be seen; and the horse
flesh is simply beyond compare in
quantity and qualsty with what 1t has
ever been before.
One of the leading features in the
amusement line is t-e balloon ascen-
sion from day to day. The ascension
thursday was very fine and entirely
successful.
There is enouS.. .. and to spare of the
sideshows, and we guess they are up to
A. ~ uTn A
museum with number of things of
more or less interest a Mexican Gypsy
show, the Oriental theatre and games
galore-offer attractions to those who
are on enjoyment bent and went to
spend a nickle or a dime with the odds
and ends of humanity who roam the
country educating the folks into
tricks that are vain"
The races are particularly good, al
| though the track is rather heavy from
the recent rains. The track from
henceforth to the close of the Fair
should be prime from the packing 1t is
getting rom the horses hoofs.
Floral Hall is fairly we'll filled in the
second floor and some of the displays
of the merchants are very good.
The display of vehicles and agricul-
tural implements is quite large.
