RerniIinr Childhood.

When my little son could scarcely
walk, SAYS Rev. c. Il. Brady, west
ern missionary, 1 took him to the
cathedral one day, when L returned
for something 1 had forgotten after
morning service.
| left the child in the nave, and
when 1 went back to him he had adj
vanced half way up the middle aisle
and was standing where the sun threw
n golden light about his curly head.
A tiny object he was in that great
church.
1t was very still. He was looking
about in every direction in the most
curious and eager way. 10 my fancy
he seemed like little angel when he
said in his sweet, childish treble, which
echoed and re-echoed beneath the
vaulted roof:
Papa. where's Jesus? Where's
JesusT'
He had been told that the church
was the house of the Saviour, and OF
this, his first, visit he expected to sec
his Lord.
That baby is quite grown up now
Not in the faintest particular does h'
resemble an angel. The other day
when l rode off to the wars, he aston
ished even me with this request:
Papa, if you get wounded, don't for
get to bring me the bullet that knocks
you out. 1 want it for souvenir TO
my collection"
Fortunately for me, if unfortuDatel.
for him, 1 brought him no bullet.

CHICAGO, March ga novel element
was added to ChicagO's coming munich
pal campaign today by the announce
ment of HonOre Palmer son of Potter
Palmer, and heir To "a $50, 600 000 estate
that he is after the Democratic nominal
ton for Alderman i'm the Twenty first
ward. Young Palmer Is "a prominent
society man and cotillon leader. Ward
leaders claim that he will succeed in
securing the nomination.
Last summer Palmer determined to
earn his own living and was given a
place in the First National Bank at $40
week. He stayed at il a month, but
found his duties too irksome and the
deluging OF the office with bouquets by
admirers too embarrassing so he deci-
ded TO retire and live on his allowance,
which is not a small one. In an inter-
view today he stated that the Democra-
tic machine was behind him. and that
he intends not onlyto secure the nom-
nation, but to carry the election and de-
feat his opponent in what is a Republi-
can ward. He believes that he has at
last hit on the right field for his abb
lities, and says he is going into poll
tics with the ultimate idea of rising
higher than an Alderman" though he
is not willing to state the definite
bounds of his ambition.

BLAME PILOT AND CAPTAIN.
Result of One Cornor's Inquest into Rio
Disaster.


SAN FRANCISCO, February 2S.-The
jury returned a verdict yesterday CEN
surfing the Pacific Mail Company in en-
ploying incompetent Chinese sailors
Blame was also attached to Captain
Ward and Pilot Jordan for the loss of
the steamship Rio. The inquest was
held upon the body of one of the vic
Tins. 1t is as follows:
We, the jury, extend our heartiest
good will to Graham Coghlan, second
officer of the wrecked Rio, for his heroic
actions and conduct during the terrible
disaster.
We, the jury, find that the deceased
came to her death in the Pacific ocean
on the 22nd day of February, 1901,
through asphyxiation from submer-
sion, caused by criminal negligence on
the part Of both Captain Ward and Pr
lot Jordan.
We most strenuously censure the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company for en-
ploying incompetent Chinese crews to
save human lives.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 2S.-
There was a mixture of censure and
praise in the findings of the Coroner 8
jury which examined yesterday into the
causes of death of the victims of the
disaster that befell the Pacific Mail
steamship Rio de Janeiro. The findings
were peculiar i'm that they found cause
for blaming the company for the em-
ployment of a Chinese crew though all
the evidence before the jury indicated
that the Chinese crew did all that men
could do to save the passengers.
Stories of heroism could be read be-
tween the lines of the testimony 1t
was developed that First Assistant En-
gineer Maccoun, Just as the ship was
ready for her final plunge, went hack to

HAWAII IN CONGRESS.
Bills Affecting the Islands Which Be-
came Laws.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-During
the closing hours of the session there
We're passed three bills or clauses which
greatly affect the Hawaiian islands.
The most important, perhaps, is a bill
which puts in the power of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury the creation of
such supports of entry as may be con-
sidered desirable in the islands In the
bill which allows the depositing of GUS
toms receipts in national repositories in
Porto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii the
amendment to section 5153 of the ReVis-
ed Statutes viii stop an annual drain
of nearly a million dollars from the ISL
ands the money heretofore having been
sent to the Sub-Treausury. In the sun
dry civil bill there is a clause which au-
thorizes the redemption of the bonds of
the 600 Tor that purpose and pay
ment of interest, Winch will be due be-
fore payment may be made.
The most important bill which fail
ed was that which authorized the re-
demption of Hawaiian currency and
coinage The failure of the river and
harbor bill knocked out the surveys of
the harbors of the islands, while pro-
visions for a revenue cutter and the
investigation of lands were cut out in
conference,
