Here is queer true story about some
umbrellas: A lady who keeps sum-

to look the house over and find out
what must be renewed. She found
numerous umbrellas, left by former
boarders, and tying them together she

them repaired. She stopped in at
Hovey's and laid the bundle on the

she had made her purchase she forgot

A WORD FOR THE EMPRESS.
She Is Said to Favor Progress, but
Fears FOreigners.

Here is the true story of the depo-
liable authority. When it was seen
that the emperor would have no child
rem 1t was necessary to appoint an heir
OF younger generation who would be
capable of performing the religious
ceremonies and making sacrifices to
kwang Su's predecessor Tung Chi
rites In Chinese eyes of supreme i'm
portance. kWang Su himself could not
conduct these ceremonies, being of the
same generation as Tung Chi. So the
child, Pu Ghun, first cousin once re-
moved to Kwang Su, was nominated
his heir by the empress, she continuing
to rule and kWanS Su to occupy the
throne, sayssa writer in the London
Mail.
Now, during the days that he was in
power Kwang Su. as I have already
said, came under the influence of the
reform party. This party desired to
|revolutionize China by imperial edict.
Pigtails1Were 80 be cut. al f.sss European
dress aadopted, ana the Gust toms and
manner Of centuries changed, by the
emperor's Decree in the twinkling of
an eye.
The dowager empress, patriot to the
be ckbone, saw the mischievous imbecil-
ity of progress on such lines and ruth
lessly suppressed the reform party.
None the less, she is not averse to a
sane progressive policy.
AS a matter of fact, the empress de-
sires reform. I learn from the best in
formed sources that she wishes to in
introduce railways and to develop in
dustrial and commercial resources.
She is timid Of the foreigner, wherefore
she would advance slowly.
If the powers could only combine to
guarantee the integrity Of her present
empire and the rule of her dynasty the
| empress would step boldly up the path
of western civilization.
At present she is suspicious Of the
intentions of the powers. She feels as
| if she were surrounded by pack OF
hungry wolves, and she does not want
to throw herself or her country to them
| And can anyone blame her?

OWNERS OF NATURAL BRIDGE.
Jefferson Knew What He Was AbOu'
When He Bought 1t.

The fact that the Natural Bridge
tract is soon to be sold has opened the
way for some writer's to romance about
it.
1t is stated that it was a part of the
inheritance Of Thomas jefferson, but
that is not our information, says the
Richmond Dispatch. We have always
thought that Mr.. Jefferson patented
the land-i. e.. bought it from the
crown at about a shilling an acre.
Mr. Jefferson and George Washing
ton both were far-seeing men and good
judges of land and "took up numbers
ticularly, owning to his personal know
ledge of our Western Virginia) lands,
was fortunate in his selections.
Mr.. jefferson acquired the bridge
tract in 1774. OF the bridge itself, he
wrote that it was worth q trip across
the ocean to see, but for a long time
it's inaccessibility caused it to be sell
The construction Of the old James
river and Kanawha canal put it near a
highway of travel. Later, railroad
lines came within a few miles Of it,
and now thousands visit it annually.
Since Jefferson's time the bridge has
had many owners. At one period it
belonged to the Hartman family. Col.
Henry Clay Parsons bought it about
1881, and formed a stock company to
run it. His residence there led up
to his death at the hands of Conductor

20, 1894. To what extent he or his
family held stock in the bridge com
pany at the time we are not Informed,
but the amount held is supposed. to
have been considerable. Il e..

ODD FLIGHT OF A PIGEON.
Pledged in II Railway Station. Il
Accompanies Il Train.

Pledged in II Railway Station. 1t
Accompanies Il Train.
There is a pigeon in Belgium which
that goes from Liege to waremme. 1t
began to accompany the train toward
the end of January, and it has done so
every day since then, except on three
occasions. The Meuse, one of the lead
ing newspapers in Belgium, vouches for
this fact, and gives other curious de-
tails about the remarkable bird. The
train starts at 9.57 a. M, and crowd
gathers daily to see the pigeon go with
it, The bird wheels around the station
while the passengers are taking their
seats, and as soon as the whistle is
blown and the journey begins it takes
up a position little behind the engine,
and there it flies surrounded by the
moist though warm steam, which it
evidently enjoys. It retains this posi-
ton even While the train is passing
through tunnels. and apparently is not
incommoded in the least by the warm
vapor. When the train reaches it's des-
tination, the bird flies swiftly along the
railroad track back to Liege, where it
arrives about 1870 O'Clock.
This pigeon was Matched at the rail-
road station in Liege, and consequently
is familiar with trains, smoke and
steam. Until few months ago it oc-
cupied with eleven Others. a comfort
able cote, and when this was removed
from the station, by order. of the au-
thorities, it refused to abandon it's old
home, though its eleven companions at
once sought for shelter elsewhere. This
fidelity was suitably rewarded. The
railroad officials gave, the bird carte
blanche to search for food wherever it
pleased, and the public, literally sup
piled it with corn and other dainties.
A singular fact is that on the three days
when it failed to accompany the train
a Belgian engine was used instead OF
an English one, and the assumption
that the fuel consumed by, the latter
gives forth a steam which the bird pre- re.
fers to that from a Belgian engine.

The second edition of Hearst's Chi
cago American of July contains the
following editorial:
$50 AGAINST 15O,OO0-WE FAVOR
THE 10000.
1t should not take long to convince
man fit to live in republic that pub
lie welfare demands the support of
union labor:
No better proof of that could be asked
than the spectacle in Chicago today
One hundred and fifty contractors
have practically locked out one hun
dred and fifty thousand men.
The contractors want bigger profits
to be got through underpaying and
overworking their employees.
The men want better pay and shorter
hours. (They will get both before very
long, incidentally, but of that more
later.)
Leave out sentiment if you choose
Ignore the fact that on one side the
few who enjoy everything are industri-
ously squeezing the many who have
little enjoyment.
Look at things purely from the stand
point of benefit to the nation and the
nations future.
If the hundred and fifty win, they will
have little more money. Their wives
and daughters will dress a little more
artistically. Their families will be able
to go abroad oftener and stay longer.
Their heirs will be able to make more
complete idiots of themselves-and that
is all. Personally we should like to see
all contractors families prosperous. All
American families prosperous. No
mans wife or daughter can be too hap
py to suit us, provided things more i'm
portant be not neglected.
If union labor wins, one hundred and
fifty thousand families will be able to
lead at least decent American working
mems lives.
One hundred and fifty thousand wives
will be able to dress their children
comfortably and to dress themselves
respectfully.
One hundred and fifty thousand fam
lilies Of children will be brought up
| more nearly as American children
ought to be.
Which is more important?
The welfare of $50 contractors fam
lies. (They will have enough anyhow }
| Or the welfare Of 100000 workingmen's
families They will have only q bare
tdecen y 1iving at best. '-@:sss 2S
Perhaps You have drifted away from
the early American idea, and refuse
| to admit that one family is as good as
| another. It may seem anarchistic to
suggest that the Workingmans wife,
who acts as wife, mother, cook, wash
woman, nurse and housekeeper, is as
good as the lady who has less to attend
| to.
But admitting-which we DON'T
that one hundred and fifty contractors
| families are more importan, than one
hundred and fifty workingmen's fam
| lilies. Surely all will agree that one
| hundred and fifty thousand of the al
legged interiors ought to offset the $50
alleged superiors.
If the contractors win, the Paris
dressmakers will be richer, and a few
| families will have little added to
what they do not really need.
| If the workingmen win, the future Of
hundreds Of thousands of men, women
and children will be made brighter, and
the citizenship of the future made
stronger by men better fed, better
clothed and better educated.
This newspaper hopes for labor union
victory and means to help it along,
because the public welfare demands it.
