Why DiRah Wept.

Not long ago lieutenant in the navy
was ordered away on a three years cruise,
says the New York Herald. The order
had been dreaded for weeks. and when it
came the young wife, who was to be deft
in a Brooklyn fiat with a baby and a
colored servant, was in despair.
She controlled her sorrow very well,
parting came, and then she wept as
though her heart would break. The
cruiser was to leave the navy yard early
next morning, and the lieutenant had
gone to report for duty.
In the midst of her lamentations the
young wife heard a smiling and sobbing
in the dining room, and upon glancing
through the door she saw Dinah, the col
ored maid, rocking her body to and fro
in a chair and weeping violently.
why, D-D-Dinah, what's the m-mat-
ter?" cried the mistress. You seem to
t-t-take Mr.. Blanks departure as much
to heart as 1 DIDO"

Another English Libel.

The most sudden thing I ever struck was
an American, says a writer in the Lon
don King. I met him at a hotel in Maren-
go, in Italy. He sat next to me at table.
He looked at the card in my wine-glass-
of course it was the wrong one-and be-
gan, breathlessly: 'fMr. Hoosie? Put it
there. 1 knew Hoosies in Nebraska once.
Mr.. Hoosie, you are young enough to
have enthusiasms, and you will forgive an
old man for saying that the cathedral
here lays over any other cathedral have
ever seen. How do you do? That your
mommer or what? 1 drop these capsules
into my wine for reasons connected with
the liver. / am in iron and it's wearing.
l am trying to invent way of eating in
my sleep to save time. Paris is all fudge
and fake, don't you think? The lovely
creature who happens to be my wife is
smiling on me like the fair dawn of free
dom. She's a judge, so you're passed
right away as an aristocrat Is 1t meat
soup?'
Really he was nearly as bad as that,
though of course 1 cannot recall his eX-
act words. I said my name was not Hoo
Sic Did look like a Hoosie? And then
| glanced up and he was reading his guide
book between the spoonfuls.
I prefer the English style. They look
through you as if you were kind of hole
walking about, and it is so much more
restful You haven't to keep on saying
how beautiful the scenery is. Even when
they do seem to begin to realize that
there is a flmy something rubbing elbows
with them at table every day they just
let the salt melt the ice.

See that man ahead of us?" inquired
a prominent Washington physician of a
reporter as they were walking down F
street this morning, says the Washington
Star. "Well, he has got the Sign
A young man about 30 just then ahead
was pointed out by the physician. He ap-
peared in average normal health, though
slight in form. AS he turned his head his
eyes were deep and sunken and his fea-
lures drawn and pinched.
Watch him. continued the physician,
land see If you detect the sign for he
is a sufferer from paresis and all paretics
have sign peculiar to each individual.
Don't you observe that motion? No! Well,
every few minutes you will see him wig
gle nervously the first three fingers of his
right hand as the arm is extended at his
side. and then quickly raise the same
hand and tap or rub his right cheek with
a little tattoo with the same fingers in
the same place on the same cheek always.
Never will he vary this motion, and
he will repeat this one 500 times "a day.
He will always do it when he thinks
others are observing him, and, as we
overtake and pass him, you will notice
that he will at once detect my glance and
will repeat the sign again systematically.
Every paretic has a sign different
from every other victim of this peculiar
and usually fatal disease. With some it
will be the mumbing in an undertone or
aloud of a certain word or phrase. Others
will have a motion such as rubbing an
ear, touching or tapping the face in one
way or in one particular spot. Some will
draw the muscles of the face in an odd
and distinguishable manner, while knew

backward and forward in a manner OBJ

SALOONS ARE Responsible.

A law recently adopted in Indiana pro-
vides that proprietors of saloons shall be
responsible in damages to the innocent
! victims of the liquor sold by them. The
State Supreme Court has just passed up
on the law, affirming it and holding that
it applies in cases where women and
children have been deprived of their
means of support through the effects of
liquors.
In the case before the court it was
shown that George Homire went home
drunk. picked a quarrel with boarder
in the house and killed him. AS a conse-
quence of the crime he was sentenced to
the pententiary for long term, narrow
ly escaping the galows. 1t was proved
that when sober Homire was a peaceabe
man and devoted to his family of wife
and several children, of whom he was
the sole support; but when drunk he was
quarrelsome and bad-tempered. 1t was
further proved that on the day of the
tragedy. he bought and drank liquor at
the saloon of one Halfman, from the eff
fects of which he became intoxicated.
When her husband had been convicted and
transported to the penltentiary, Mrs. Ho-
mire brought suit against the saloon
keeper, Halfman, for damages, placing
the sum of $4,000. Halfman demurred,
claiming that the new law did not apply
in such cases. The lower court sustained
the demurrer and the case was appealed.
The Supreme Court reverses the trial
court holds that the law does apply in
such cases as that Of Mrs. Homire, and
sends the case back for trial upon its
merits
In its decision the Supreme Court says
that the homicide committed by Homre
was crime punishable by Imprisonment,
and that his arrest, conviction and i'm
prisonment were results naturally to be
expected; that a showing by the plaintiff
that the sale of the liquor to him caused
the intoxication, and the intoxication
caused the crime, sufficiently establishes
the plaintiffs claim for loss of support in
consequence. 1t is held that only two
facts are necessary to be shown, outside
Of the sale of the liquor by the defend
ant. The first of these is the intoxication,
caused in whole part by the sale of
the liquor and the second is the loss of
support in consequence of such intoxica-
ton.
The temperance people are naturally
much elated at the opinion of the Supreme
Court They regard it as an important
victory, since it will force saloon men
to exercise great care in the sale of IL
quors to persons who drink to excess.
will hold them responsible for the acts
of men who become intoxicated on liquor
purchased from them, they will refuse to
sell whisky to a man already under the
influence of it, or likely to become drunk
and do damage

Gov. Gamblers caustic criticisms upon
the ogden party OF philanthropists, and
DR.. Parkhurst especially. have proved a
boomerang upon his own head, and many
of the newspapers are saying peppery
things about him. The Charleston Post,
for instance. characteTlzes him as the
Ben Tniman OF Georgia." the Phlladel-
phia Press calls him the most Bourbon
and backward Governor OF Southern
state" and expresses the belief that
''there IL not another Governor IN the

Explosives, even profanity, is justifia-
BILE under certain circumstances, accord
ing to DR.. w. s. Rainsford of St.
Georges Church, New York. At dinner
of the New York Credit Mems Associa-
ton the other day he declared that it
was damned rot" to lay the blame of
the wer in China on the missionaries.
Later he was called upon by newspaper
reporters who asked him to verify the
characterization, He said: Eyes, l said
it, and 1 meant it, too / don't often ex-
press myself quite so strongly, nor is the
provocation often so great. 1 would not
like to see the word generally used, but
to say that it is not good English and
it's use is not sometimes justifiable would
be an absurd conclusion"

How a Doubter was Convinced.

A correspondent of Truth, of London.
tells the following story:
IAN old Cambridge friend of mine, who
had good deal of the wisdom of the SER
pent in him, had farmer in his parish
in Norfolk whom he could not get TO
church. Whenever he pressed upon him
his neglect or his bad example he was
always met with the same excuse, You
be too young and do not know enough to
teach such as l. AT last he gave up the
farmer in despair. But one day he hap
pened to pass by the farm while his par
ishioner was engaged in killing a fine
pig. My friend said: What pig! Why,
he weighs thirty-four stone! What dost
thou know of pigs?' replied the farmer.
L only wish he weighed as much When
they next met, the farmer, to his sur
prise, told my friend that the pig had been
found to weigh just thirty-four stone.
He added, much to my friends gratifica-
ton. And thou wilt see me at church
next Sunday, parson.

Swell New Workers are not playing
bridge whist any more. The recent at
tacks upon the game have induced them
to drop it. But they are now playing
''hearts." The other day at one of the
fashionable Fifth avenue hotels a quiet
party sat down to play hearts" At the
conclusion of the game one individual had
aost $4,000, another $500 and a third
$3.50. However, none OF them deserves
sympathy. They were all millionaires,
and in the trusts.

The Washington correspondents, who
are quick to feel the administration pulse
have reached the conclusion that the
be glad, very glad, to have Minister Con-
ger become a candidate for Governor of
Iowa. Some recent utterances of the
Minister having put him out of touch
with the Administrations policy, the ad-
ministration would like TO drop him If
tine thing could be effected gracefully. 1t
is not desired to offend him by suggest
ing a change at Pekin. but if he should
conclude to enter the politics of his
home state. it would be happy solution
OF the matter.

Some folks seem to think that legislation

They're too busy representing their people
in the newspapers and saving the country,
to work for and with poor folks who
have got griefs." Kenna and his workers
get down to the level of the masses, hear
their complaints and grievances, give
them aid, and then vote them in the elec-
tions. Kenna says that within twenty
four hours, at any time, he can tell with
accuracy how seven-tenths of the voters
in his ward would vote on any question.
In short, the Tammany system of poll
tics has been carried to Chicago and put
into practice by Alderman kenna and his
co-workers. The strength of Richard
Croker is chiefly in his readiness to aid
the poor and struggling, his willingness to
hear grievances and remedy them If he
can, and in his faithfulness to promises
made. And the power of Mr.. Croker's
machine is in its perfect ward and pre-
cinct organization, which is similar in
construction to that of Alderman Kenna
in the First ward of Chicago.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
Constitutional revision is to be pressed
upon the Georgia Legislature next fall by
Gov. Gambler of that state, with a view
largely to the adoption for Georgia Of the
franchise regulations now in force in
Mississippi and other Southern states in
which suppression of the ignorant negro
vote is deemed a public and patriotic
duty. Virginia and Tennessee are soon to
hold constitutional conventions. by which
1t is expected that a literate qualification
for the suffrage will be adopted, and Ala
bama will be quite likely to follow this ex-
ample. The test of intelligence for the
suffrage, so manifestly requisite in any
enlightened system of government,
seems destined to be employed in this
country chiefly throughout the black
belt in order to hold in political check
a distrusted element of the population"
The Washington Post Qnd) says "In
a word, the Plat resolutions will stand.
1t is notorious that Cuba has a great
number of sons who are capable of or

The old proposition to remove the cap
ital Of Pennsylvania from Harrisburg to
Philadelphia has been revived. Such ac-
ton, under the constitution, would re-
quire a popular vote. A capital removal
bill has been introduced in the Legisla-
ture, and is said to be gaining strength.
One of the principle arguments that is
being advanced in favor of removal is that
Philadelphia would afford more avenues
of recreation to the statesmen who make
the laws. The poor, overworked fellows,
of course, need additional avenues of re-
creation. They ought to be able to find
them In the City of Brotherly Love, which
DR.. Parkhurst says is more wicked than
New York. Another argument is that the
present incomplete State House at Har-
risburg could be turned into state luna
tic asylum.
