A Chamberlain story.

Many good stories with reference to the

er have been told. Here is one, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. Some visitors passed through
Mir Chamberlains orchid houses at High

plant was discovered broken. Mr. Cham

and declared that sightseers should no
longer be welcomed Then ne Intercepted

The man appeared confused, but pro-
tested that he did not do the damage.
Il was very sorry when L saw it done,
sir"

the visitors did do it."
NO, sir, the visitors didn't either" said
the man.

THE PLAGUE IN HONOLULU.

The news received from Honolulu rela-
tive to the progress OF the plague there
is of the most disturbing character At
the date OF the departure of the steamer
which arrived at San Francisco on We'd
nesday there had been fifty cases of the
disease and forty-one deaths. The most
heroic efforts are being made to stamp it
out, but thus far they have not been eff
fective.
The danger of the disease reaching this
country from Hawaii is real The steam
er that arrived at San Francisco on
Wednesday brought a large number of
passengers from the islands 1t is prob
able that the greatest care was exercised
by the officers of the ship to prevent any
one who had been exposed TO the disease
from taking passage on her, but how is
it possible for officers of steamer stop
ping at Honolulu TO determine who have
and who have not been exposed to the
plague? Even the health authorities OF
the island are liable to make mistakes in
regard 10 such a matter. however careful
and conscientious they may be.
While there is no occasion for
the people of this country TO be unduly
alarmed, the fact should be recognized
that it may reach our shores. No efforts
therefore should be spared by the health
authorities TO prevent it from getting a
| Judgement in any of our ports.
II was stated in our dispatches a day
or two ago that 1t had been officially an
nounced that Rio Janelro and Santos,
| Brazil were now free OF the plague A
| few cases appeared at each of these places
! These cities are favorite lurking places
! for yellow fever and Santos is noted for
! its bad sanitary condition If the plague
/ has been so quickly driven out of Santos
| it would seem that there ought not to be
much TO fear from it if a few cases of il
should get into one of our ports. In some
| quarters there is a disposition to ques-
ton the truth of the statement that there
is no longer any trace of the disease In
the foregoing cities The health authori-
ties Of American ports should not be hasty
IN admitting vessels from Rio Janeiro and
Santos. They should take no chances on
vessels from those ports or any others
which have been. or are, afflicted with the
| plague.

AN APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.

In our dispatches yesterday il was SAID
that the federal government would not IN
terfere in the Kentucky trouble. Yester-
day. however. Taylor sent the President a
dispatch in which he said that the stua-
ton in Kentucky was critical, and that
there might be a conflict at any moment II
the present situation was not relieved. He
said that he regarded himself as Governor
and asked the President to recognize him
as such.
The President is asked to do something
that might provoke trouble outside Of
Kentucky. 1t is not for him TO say
whether GoebeI or Taylor is the Governor
The returns showed that Taylor had been
elected. \ Democratic returning board
gave him the certificate Of election. on
thar certificate he was sworn in as Gov
ernor and was recognized as such by the
Legislature.
Goebel. however claimed the office. The
law gave him the right 10 90 before the
Legislature and ask that body to hear his
evidence and decide whether he or Taylor
was entitled to the governorship. Tay lor
RECOGNIZED his right to take this course
In fdCt. ldNlOT was IeiJItS- tea btAOLt III,
committee of the Legislature appointed TO
hear the evidence and make report
The Legislature decided that Goebel was
entitled 10 the office. The decision may
be a partisan one and contrary to the
facts but it is the decision of the tribunal
that has the right to decide the matter.
In accordance with that decision Goebel
was sworn in as Governor, and Beckham
as Lieutenant Governor. If Goebel dies
Beckham will take his place.
Has not Taylor made a mistake in APP
pealing TO the President unless he is ready
to give up the office? The President has
no right to say that the decision of the
Legislature is wrong. If he should under
take to do so he might have more trouble
on his hands than Taylor has.
In the meantime The situation in Ken
lucky is full of peril AT any moment
there may be a conflict that will in
volve the whole state. Both parties are de
termined and the feeling between them is
very bitter. The only way out of the diff
Guilty seems to be a commission or the
courts.

Little WI and the PhiIadeIphin Girl

The young daughter of a former Phila-
delphian is schoolmate of little WI, the
son of the Chinese ambassador at Wash
ington, says the Philadelphia Record Dur
ing a recent visit here she often talked
about the little Celestial, and told tales
about him that seemed to Indicate that
little WI at times gently guys his Chris
tan schoolmates
He is awfully cute she said, and
speaks very correct English. What he
likes best to eat. he says, is milhi. That
is young mice, dipped in honey and swal-
lowed raw. A horrible thing, isn't it?
But WI says that milhi aren't half so
squashy and SHINY as raw oysters His
mothers feet are SO tiny that she can
hardly walk at all. She is pushed about
in a wheeled chair.
Il asked WI once if he didn't think it
was cruel to torture the Chinese ladies'
feet like that. He said Virginia, my
papa says that whenever any person asks
me that question / must make the follow
ing reply; at is not more cruel than for
American ladies to torture their waists
in steel corsets until their noses are beet
red and their shapes like an hour-glass." ,
Then he gave a loud laugh and walked
away with his little hands in the pockets
of his baggy brocade trousers He looks
awfuily grave and funny"

Evidently, Gen. Wheeler's campaign in
the Philippines has not curbed his energy
or dampened his ardor, for although he
did not have the chance TO distinguish
himself on the field of battle, as ne did
in Cuba ne comes back as full of life and
electricity as ever, says the Washington
correspondence of the New York Mail and
Express. 1t is proper to say fun Of cleo
triety for it is fact that Gen. Wheeler
has been known TO be charged heavily
with electricity, and oftentImes has been
obliged to work il out of his body. Form
er Senator Pugh of Alabama tells an in
teresting story in this connection. Soon
after Senator Pugh was elected 10 the
Senate, he came TO Washington, and, like
all new members of Congress, he fe,t it
his duty to make the round of calls on the
cabinet members and other sena tors on
the days they received. Gen. Wheeler
Offered TO escort him, and the Senator ac-
cepting the invitation, the Two started on
their visits in cab.
The little General led the Senator a mer-
~ dance. They called at a large num-
Der of houses, and the General never
seemed the least bit fatiSued by the con-
slant going in and out After several
hours of this work, Senator Pugh declared
that he was completely worn out, but Gen.
Wheeler seemed as fresh as when he
started. The Senator noticed, however,
that frequently when they got into the
carriage Gen. Wheeler would take a hair
brush from his pocket and vigorously
brush his long hair. The Senator also no
UCed a peculiar cracking while the Gen
eral brushed his hair. and finally asked an
explanation. The General replied You
see, Senator, I am so charged with cleo
tricity the only way l can relieve myself
is to brush my hair, and that takes a good
deal out of me-" This explained the
cracking noise the Senator heard while
the little General was brushing mis- hair,
and it also explains to a good many per-
sons the source of Gen. Wheeler's wonder
full vitality. II is said the General still
has to use his brush to work off his extra
amount of electricity.

The Florence Is. c. Daily Times says:
Savannah has some business men after
our own heart. 1t is no wonder that they
have made a town of which the whole
South is proud They have recently de-
cided that they did not have enough small
industries in the-city IN which home pro-
ducts and home labor could be used. so
they called a meeting or two and as a
result they have now an organization with
a capital stock of $150000, which will be
used to foster the establishment of such
industrial enterprises as those mentioned,
which are the ones that really help the
community most, for they help the coun-
try by using the raw material and the
city by giving employment to its citizens,
and both by the circulation of money
brought from outside. If every Southern
town and city would follow the good ex-
ample of Savannah We would be the rich
est people on the globe soon, and the hap
piest. because we would have made our
wealth honestly"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem) says.
Threats have been made that unless the
congressman of the Western and Southern
states. which build and own no ships in
the foreign trade, shall vote for this raid
on the treasury influence will be used to
defeat all appropria tionh for the improve
ment of the Western and Southern water
ways. 1t is also reported that the friends
of the Nicaragua canal scheme are to be
bought up by promises of reciprocity to
support the ship bounty grab. Without
doubt, powerful influence will be brought
to bear TO pass the bill whereas the i'm
provement Of the Western water ways and
the construction of the Nicaragua ship
canal are matters of vast, and 1t may
be said, universal interest to the Amer-
can people. They are to be defeated UNI
less the shipowners grab shall be made
successful. 1t is to be doubted if the
American people will countenance such
brazen scheme TO raid the treasury"
The Macon Telegram Dem) says: "Ac-
cording 20 the Savannah News, if it were

The Chicago Herald says that
the authorship of David Harum' is still
unsettled" It is settled in the minds OF
all of those who were well-informed
enough not to be taken in by the senseless
literary joke" perpetrated some weeks
ago, to the effect that Kipling had writ
ten the book, and of those who, since That
time have felt interested enough in the
matter TO seek the truth and have had
intelligence enough to know the truth
when they had found it. Mr. Westcott,
the author, was neither a myth nor a
faklr but an estima5le and hardworking
gentleman, wen known and highly respect
ed in the New York town in which he
lived. Still it is not matter of sur
prise that the authorship of the book IS
'still unsettled" in the opinion of news
paper which maintains that ninety-nine
years make a century
