HARRISON'S VIEW.
e I-President Declares That the Con-
stitutiOn Applies to the Phil
pines and Porto Rico,

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. Is. - Ex-
President Benjamin Harrison Friday
night attacked the administrati ton for
taking the position that the constitu-
ton applies to the United States, ex-
elusive of Porto Rico and the Philip
pine islands. He declared that these
islands are a part of the United States
and that the constitution extended to
them in spite of any treaties or con-
gressional Legislation. To levy taxes
in Porto Rico that are not uniform
with taxes in other parts of the Unit
ed States, according to the former
president, is to deny that Porto Rico
is a part of the United States He
said that while some people declare
that the sound of Dewey's guns in
Manila bay heralded a new mission
for this country, to him it seemed bet
ter to let it herald the same old mis-
sion sounded by the guns of Washing
ton. Mr.. Harrison spoke under the
auspices of the Lecture association of
the University of Michigan, and 5000
people heard and applauded

been to his Pappoose when, homesick,
sad-eyed chill, she entered upon her
schooldays. Elinor herself had to
chide him, and with contrition and dis
may he admitted his fault, and then
for hours nothing could exceed his hos
pitable attentions to Jessie, who, sore
ly disappointed because Marshall was
not there to meet her, was growing
anxious as no tidings came from him.
Two whole days the damsels spent in
going over the new house, exclaiming
over papa's lavish preparations, but
wishing presently that Mrs. Fletcher
were not quite SO much in evidence,
here, there, and everywhere. Only
when bedtime came and they could
nestle in one or other of their connect
ing rooms were they secure from inter-
ruption, and even then it presently ap-
peared they could not talk confden-
tally as of old. Folsom had taken
them driving each afternoon, he him
self handling the reins over his hand
some bays, Elinor at his side the first
time, and Jessie, with Mrs. Fletcher,
occupying the rear seat. But this,
Elinor whispered to him, was not as it
should be. Her guest should have the
seat of honor. So, next day, Jessie was
handed to the front and Mrs. Fletcher
and Pappoose were placed in rear,
| and in this order they bowled round
the fort and listened to the band and
talked with several of the women and
one or two officers, but these latter
could tell nothing about Lieut.. Dean
except that they had been expecting
him for two days-he having taken the
long way home, which both Jessie and
Pappoose considered odd under the
circumstances, though neither said so
and nobody thought to explain. But
the morning of the third day Miss Fol-
som"-as the veteran was amazed to
hear his daughter addressed, yet on re-
Election concluded that he'd be tempted
to kick any man who addressed her
otherwise-seizeda favorable oppor-
tunity and whisked her fond father
into corner of his library, and there
gave him to understand that in eastern
circles the housekeepcr might some
times, perhaps, accompany the young
ladies when they were going shopping,
or the like, alone, but that when
escorted by papa it was quite unneces-
sary. It was, in fact, not at all con-
ventiona1.

From the Mares EIOuth

Sir Robert Finlay, the new attorney
general, like most counsel with large
practice, knows what it is to receive
disconcerting reply from an apparent
ly guileless witness, and tells a good
story against himself in illustration.
He was engaged on case for breach
of warranty of horse, the age of the
animal. being the chief matter in dis
pute, and had cross-examined hostler,
yokel with every appearance of rustic
simplicity. upon what authority do
you swear to the age of the mare?" he
asked. 'I'm sure Of it." was the reply.
Half dozen more questions failed to
elicit from the witness any more spe-
cifc answer. "But how do you llnow?"
Numbered Sir Robert at last. 81 had
it from the mares own mouth" re-
piled the hostler.-London Chronicle.

The following are the texts of won

exchanged between an agg1ieved' hus-
band and his delighted successor, both
of Azuma-mura, Ashikaga district, To-
chigi prefecture.
'Mr. SolSichi Yamamoto: EAr-You
have been guilty of improper f1irta-
tions with my wife, Tsune, and the
affair has greatly grieved me. For
this reason I have made various COM
plants against you for your offensive
conduct, through the members of our
communal body, and you have sent
me endless apologies, but as I find
them unsatisfactory, I have like a
man decided to get rid of my wife,
and I do herewith give and transfer
her to you. Henceforth I will not en-
terrain any lingering affection for the
woman, and in proof thereof witness
my signature. Kamekichi Fujikawa."
"-1r. Kamelichi Fujikawa: Sir--ft
is indisputably true that I have been
guilty of intimacy with your beloved
wife, and on that account have sent
you apologies through the members
of our communal body. You have,
however, steadfastly refused to for
give and have instead forwarded your
wife to me. AS it IS your will, beg
herewith to acknowledge receipt and
transference of said wife, etc.,

A BETTER TONE.
Trade Conditions Generally Are Re.
ported Quite Favorable
Helped by Holidays.

New York, Dec. 15.-Bradstreet's says:
Favorable conditions rule generally in all
lines of seasonable trade. Holiday prep
aratiOns are, Of course, dominant in retail
business, and, where this has hitherto
Jagged, it has been stimulated by more
seasonable weather. Wholesale distribution
is limited, as natural at this period, but
western jobbers are in receipt of fair re-
order business. So far the best reports 8
to the retail trade comes from the west
and south. In leading industries the best
report is still that made by finished prod
ucts of the iron and steel industry, but
other favoraby situated lines are boots
and shoes and lumber.
while business in iron and steel as a
whole is quieter than of late, there is no
apparent diminution in strength, and ac-
tual transactions in rails and plates COM
pare we'll with the best recorded
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Review
of Trade, say: Holiday trade has in
creased moderately, and in wholesale staple
lines no relapse is seen either in volume
of transaction or in prices. Cold weather
has helped New York, but it is still behind
the rest Of the country, for some recent
losses from failures in the textile markets
have fallen rather heavily here Collec-
lions in the country continue good, and
this relieves anxiety which might other
wise be felt over the higher rates for money.
Merchants accounts are in good position,
so that new sales of commercial paper are
light even for this season. Industrial condi-
lions continue with no greater accumula-
ton of new merchandise in any quarter
A sharp rise to a minimum of S4.S5 in whole
sale price of COAL fully Is cents in two
weeks, reflects actual scarcity of the prod
uct more than negotiations to harmonic
the trade.
Failures for the week were 24O in the
United States, against 21S last year, and
rs in Canada, against 26 last year."

THE PESSIMiST AND FATE.
He's IN love with Despair!

He's IN love with Despair!
When a day is fair
It makes him sad;
His joy is to pirate
OF the ills he's had
Of the means that Fate
Is ever taking to raise the bad
And trample the good beneath her feet
Woe Is his joy, his drink, his meat!
He staked his all, one day,
And didn't lose:
But he went around in mournful way,
With the blues.
'''You might have been dragged to the
Depths" men said,
"And yet you Nere favored as never be-
fore.'
But he sighed
And shook his head:
Had Fate been fair" he sadly replied,
IT might have had much more!'
His child lay white and wan,
And he sat in the dark,
Moaning that hope was gone,
That Fate had singled him for her
mark
But the little one sings
And her laughter rings
Through the halls to-day,
Yet he grieveS away,
For still
There's Fate and the doctors bill!

dfer's bounding heart, just nipping and
soaring the skin, had left it's worst
mark on that dainty carte de visite.
In that same pocket, too, was another
packet-a letter which had been picked
Burleigh left-one for which the major
had searched in vain, for it was under

That very day, in the heavy, old

Pacific, two young girls were seated in

One, dark-eyed, radiant beauty, gazed
out over the desolate slopes and far

tant lines of bald bluff, with delight in
her dancing eyes. The other, a win

wonderment, not unmiXed with disap-
pointr1ent she would gladly have hid
den. To Elinor the scenes of her child
hood were dear and welcome; to Jessie
there was too much that was somber,
too little that was inviting. But pres
emily, as the long train rolled slowly
to the platform of a rude wooden sta
ton building, there came a sight at
which the eyes of both girls danced in
eager interest-a row of GA" tents on
the open prairie, a long line of horses
tethered to the picket ropes, groups
of Stalwart, Sunburned men in rough
blue garb, a silllen guidon Tapping by
the tents of the officers. 1t was one of
half a dozen such camps of detached
troops they had been passing ever since

ing "old sledge" in the smoking COM
partment. AT a big station a few miles
back two men in the uniform of officers
boarded the car, one of them burly, ro-
tund and sallow. He was shown to the
section just in front of the girls, and at
Pappoose he stared-stared long and
hard, so that she bit her lip and turned
nervously away. The porter busted
the seat apd disposed of the hand lug
gage and hung about the new arrivals
in adulation. The burly man was evil

Standard Oil Company Wins.

Columbus, O., Dec. 12.-The SUI
preme court on Tuesday dismissed
the proceedings brought by Former
Attorney General Monnett, charging
that the company was in contempt of
court for having failed to comply
with an order issued in 1892 directing
a dissolution of the Standard Oil
trust. The six members of the court
divided, Chief Justice Shauck and JUS
tees Burkett and Davis favoring dis
missal of the information in con-
tempt, and Justices Minshall, Spear
and Williams dissenting. Under a
rule of the court, the failure of a ma
iority to sustain the information in
contempt is in effect dismissal of
the proceedings.
