would have been ample for all purposes
He was at tea and had been presented
to a young woman from Ohio, who be-
lieves in heroic treatment Of desperate
cases, which she very soon perceived his
to be. In the course of the conversation
she suggested that something might be
learned from his past.
oh he said, II am the heir of all the

In the Plymouth congregation, during
Henry Ward Beechers pastorate, there
was at one time q woman who had a
harsh voice and stiff manner Of speak

Mr. Beecher, too, reached the limit Of en-
durance, and one evening, when she sat
down, after talking nearly half an hour,
he arose, and in deep tones said, slow

steamers were added to the merchant
marine of Russia, OF which twenty
eight, tonnage 1926. "a, were built abroad
and fourteen, tonnage 2,S01.99, in Russia.

the list during 1887 had a total full
tonnage Of 15,Sl3.GS and a net tonnage
of 15,0O7.91. During 1897 seventy-two YES

INVITING TROUBLE.

The press dispatches from Kentucky
show that public sentiment in the state
still remains excited, even to the point
OF an outbreak of bloodshed at any mo-
ment Both sides seem on this occasion
to be culpable in pursuing courses which
produce needless excitement. The acting
governor has given free expression to
views which are subversive of all re-
spect for law and order. His opponents, in
urging forward at this time the trial Of
the men charged with being parties to
the conspiracy TO murder the late Sen
ator Goebel, seem acting In a spirit which
IS clearly liable to result In trouble
