O'COnneIl and Massey.

Laughter has been fatal to at least
one bill in the house of commons. In
the days of O'Connell Thomas Massey,
who was a sworn foe to everything
that suggested popery, introduced a
bill to abolish the suffix mas" from ali
words in our language and to substi-
tute ''tide," thus converting Christ
mas" into 'Christtide," and so on.
When he had ended his Introductory
speech, O'Connell got up and said:
'Since the honorable member has such
an insuperable objection to the word
mas why does he not set a good ex-
ample by anglicizing his own name:
In that case we should be quite willing
to speak of him as Thotide Tidey."
The house rolled with appreciative
laughter, and Mr.. Massey never recov-
cred sufficient courage to speak of the
bill again.

The Boys Got In.

The late Dan Rice, the famous circus
man, was fond Of boys and always
wanted to see a lot of them in his audi
ence. He never gave a performance
says the Cleveland Leader, when the
hooks and corners were not filled with
youngsters who had come in free.
One story of this sort was told by
Captain George J. Grammer. At the
time Of the occurrence Grammer, who
lived in GAINESVILLE, O.. was standing
one afternoon with crowd of other
boys looking longingly into the tent,
but not having the price of admission.
1t was Mr.. Rice's custom to stand at
the door until the first grand entry of
the circus people, when he would
leave. On this occasion he saw the
hungry look on the faces of the boys
and called them around him. "YOu
want to go in, don't you, boysw
''Bet your lifen' shouted back the
youngsters.
''Pll tell you what. All the boys who
are back here in ten minutes with clean
faces and hands get in.'
The words were hardly out Of his
mouth before there was a dash for
the Muskingum river, and in less than
seven minutes 200 clean faces and
hands came back to the tent. The
boys went inside with a rush.

patient, yet if she persists in telling
him her personal or domestic history

the work, while other patients wait in
the anteroom, it's a little trying to his

to stop talking, but says gently:
"Open your mouth, please
There is silence for few moments,
when the chatter begins again.
''Open wider, please" says the den

Sharp Fight Results in the victory OF the
Mexican Troops.
Phoenix, A. T., July 20.-A message
received here from Rode, Mex, in the
state of Durango, tells of fierce bat
tie occurring about thirty miles from
there early Monday morning between
a strong band of Yaqui Indians and a
company of Mexican soldiers, a por-
ton of the force of General Torres, in
which five MeXicanS were killed or
MORALLY wounded and a dozen others
slightly hurt. The message came from
Jose Cores, manager of a mine owned
by Harry Tharaldsen of New York,
now in this city.
For several weeks the Mexican SOL
diers had been engaged in rounding up
the scattered bands of Yaquis, and it
was thought had succeeded in dispers-
ing most of the hostile bands in that
vicinity. On Monday they came upon
a band of fifty reds encamped in a
pass in the foothills of the lower part
Of Sierra Madre range. They en-
deavored to surround the Yaquis, but
after hard fighting the Indians es-
capped through a deep canyon in the
rear

Collision on the Deep.

Liverpool, July 24.-The Cunard
liner Campania arrived here after one
of the most sensational ocean voyages
on record. The big boat, While in the
Irish channel, ran down the British
bark Embleton, cutting her completely
in two. Eleven of the Embleton's
crew were drowned, but seven others
were saved by the Campania and were
on board of her when the liner reached
this port The accident occurred off
Holyhead, twenty-six miles northeast
of Tuscan. The Campania was run
ming at reduced speed, but still at a
lively pace considering the fact that
navigation could be continued only by
dead reckoning.
