Among the public servants who are wor-
ried by foolish questions the superintend-
ent of mails in the postoffice gets his full
share, says the New YORK Tribune. One
of his visitors last week was a man who
said to the deputy who answered the call
at the window:
II am going out of town to-day and
want to get letter to my brother, who
is on board the Majestic. and she is not
due until Wednesday. l don't know where
he will stay in New York or where he will
go from here. Can't you help me?"
Certainly we cam said the clerk. "a
mailboat goes to meet the steamer, and
if you address your letter properly and
put domestic postage on it it will be de-
livered all right
But how shall I address it-where shall
I send it?"
Address it, John Smith, passenger on
board incoming steamer Majestic. due in
New York Dec. r. That will reach him."
mo city? No nothing?"
That's ADJUST as l told you"
The man thanked the clerk and went
away, and came back a little later with
an addressed letter in his hand.
Say" he said TO the clerk, about that
letter. I've addressed it and stamped IT
all right, but the mans name isn't John
Smith. How about that?'

It seems from recent dispatches that the
ship-subsidy bill cannot pass unless it is
made a party measure, and that even
then it will have to be amended in sew
eral important particulars before IL will
be acceptable to a sufficient number of
the Republicans of the House and Senate
to insure it a majority.
As matter of fact ID is an unpopular
bill BY many it is looked upon as a
measure to enable the managers of the
Republican party to pay portion of the
obligations incurred in the last presiden~
tial campaign. Every argument that can
be advanced in lbs favor has been made,
and still the country is not convinced that
the merchant marine would be greatly
benefited by it.
And it is intimated that the River and
Harbor bill will have to be put aside in
order that there may be time to pass this
subsidy bill. 1t is a safe assertion that
IL the River and Harbor bill is side
tracked for the subsidy bill the latter bill
will never get through the House. The
River and Harbor bill is a popular meas
sure. The effort in the House TO defeat
il was total failure and even amend
ments to it were voted down by an over
whelming majority.
To put it aside in order that a bill that
carries a subsidy might have the right of
way would make many enemies for the
latter bill-enemies that would not only
vote against it. but who would work
against it. 1t is true that the River and
Harbor bill carries a very large amount,
but the appropriations are not all avail
able in one year. They are to extend over
several years. The amount available for
the next fiscal year is not more than one
half of the entire amount which the bill
carries.
There are rivers and harbors which need
attention at once. Unless IL is given them
commerce win suffer. The harbors must
be put in a good condition as soon as pos
sible so as to be ready for the American
steamships which are certain to be built
whether the ship-subsidy bill is passed or
not. The rate of interest is now so low
that money is sure to find it's way into
shipbuilding, even though the government
does not give the shpbuilding industry
any aid

a Proposal by TELEGRAPH.

Until within the past two weeks Alexis
E. Frye was superintendent of schools
in Cuba. A few days ago he arrived in
New York. A dark-eyed senorita accom-
panied him. Six months ago one did not
know of the existence of the other. They
met when she became one of a party of
Cuban girls to visit the United States.
He was smitten by her charms and the
novelty of his proposal is fully equaled
by her reply of acceptance.
1t is the story in Cuba that on Nov.
s. the day the constitutional convention
met in Havana, Mr.. Frye sent telegram
TO Senorita Maria Teresa Arruebarrena,
which read:
Il know that you are an anti-annexa-
zionist, but 1 wish very much to annex
a small part of Cuba. What do you say?"
The reply which was flashed back was
as sparkling as the girls dark eyes.
81 cannot be annexed" she said, but
will be happy 10 accept a protectorate."
They are on their wedding tour now.

Henrik Ibsen says that he will never
leave his old home, at Sandefjord Nor

extensive that it alone would make the
change of address most inconvenient."
Theodore Marburg of Baltimore has
presented to Johns Hopkins University a
collection Of beautiful antiques from the
Island of Cyprus. The collection numbers
about ninety pieces, and was gathered by
Col. Folkland Warren, a cousin of Mrs
Marburg, who was government secretary
for Cyprus from 1879 to 1891. Some Of
the relics were bought from peasants who
had uncovered them in their fields, and
others were taken out of excavations car
ried on by Col. Warren.
The tallest living man is said to be
Lewis Wilkins. who is now arousing
great interest in the scientific circles of
Europe. wilkins was born on a farm
near st. Paul. Mimi, in 1874. When he
was but 10 years old he measured six
feet in hight, and now has grown to the
tremendous hight of 1O7A inches-just
three-quarters of an inch less than nine
feet-and weighs 1854 pounds.
The death of Lieut. Percy F. Forbes
Leith of the First Royal Dragons of the
British army recalls the fact that Fyvie
Castle, the Forbes-Leith residence is one
of many mysterious places in Scotland
said to have a curse which falls on the
eldest son of the house. For many gen.
erations the property has failed to de-
scend in direct line for this reason. When
Mr.. Forbes-Leith bought the place it was
thought that the curse could not be trans
ferred to another family, but the death of
his eldest son has against revived the old
Fyvie superstitions. The mother of the
young officer is an American woman,

The TaIkatfve RiII.

Once upon a time there was a Rill,
which prattled loquaciously as it fell over
the stones, says the Detroit Journal.
A Poet came and heard it and wrote
sundry rhapsodies; the next day it rain
ed and in one way and another the Rill
became much swelled as to its head, and
prattled the more.
Presently Man of Affairs CHANGED that
way and when he heard the Rill prattling
he straightway built dam, which gath
cred the Rill into a great, silent mill
pond.
Now the Rill says nothing and saws
wood.
Il might better have dried upv' it

rulity without recourse to the story OF

a circuit and a Supreme Court justice
came down to hold court this justice
OF the peace, with the county attorney
and others, called on him. The Justice
of the peace said: Judge want to ask
you a question of law" ASK your coun-
ty attorney and these other lawyers of
your county, said the Judge. ooh. l
know as much law as those fellows. 1
want to ask you" well, what is it?"
said the judge. Can a justice of the
peace grant a divorce?" "Certainly not:
he has no jurisdiction" said his honor

Commenting on the opportunities of the

the Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: at will
be remembered that when Coxey and his
hosts arrived at the Capitol they were
admonished in the plainest of terms to
keep off the gross The doors of the
treasury vaults were not opened to them
nor was the fatted calf killed and served
in their honor. How different is the fate
of those who come to the Capitol not beg
ging, but demanding bounty from the gov
eminent. Nothing is too good for them,
and If they do not see what they want
they are invited to ask for it. Under our
Republican form of government all Cox
eys should be treated alike"
The Nashville American (Dem) says
"Mob law seems 20 be the product of
comparatively new countries. 1t is seldom
heard of in countries of older civilization.
1t is apt to prevail most where the law
is laxly enforced. 1t is seldom that the
courage of a mob is tested; when it is, it
is usually found 20 be without courage
The coward becomes ferocious when he
joins the mob The mob shows a brutal
ity, which. as individuals, it would not
show. IL feeds upon its own fire and fat
tens upon dead sensiblities, so to speak.
1t Stays something besides its victim"

Recently the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, edi-
tor of the New York Tribune, wrote to
Senator Frye and asked him whom the
pending ship-subsidy bill would most BEN
eft In his reply, Senator Frye said: THE
individuals or corporations who will, in
the first instance, receive the largest
subsidies are those who own the greatest
amounts of tonnage, and at the present
time these, as You know are the Inter
national Navigation Company, the Allan
tic Transport. Pacific Mail and the New
York and Cuba Mail Steamship Com
panies." This direct and frank acknowl-
edgment that these great and rich cor
porations, neither of which needs gov
eminent aid. will be the beneficiaries,
clearly indicates that the bill is
scheme to loot the treasury for
the benefit of a certain favored coterie
of rich men who, presumably. contributed
literally to the campaign fund Of the Re-
publican party. The corporations named
make a speciality of carrying passengers
in their ships. Their vessels are not
freighters, but are patronized by the
classes that have money to spend for
pleasure trips Yet the claim is made
that the subsidy bill is in the interests Of
the agricultural classes.

Miss Mamie Smith, an heiress from
Honolulu, had money enough to buy one
of the best matrimonial alliances in Flu
rope. She was worth millions of dol
lars, and therefore might have married
a duke, or a lord or about anything else
in the nobility line that she pleased
But. despite her wealth, Miss Smith was
a girl with an ideal. Travelling in Texas
recently, she saw a young railroad Sec
ton hand named Burke, who was pre-
cisely her ideal of what a man should
be. He was tall, broad-shouldered, strong
and handsome. He had curly brown
hair clean-cut features, a nice NOUS
tache and a hearty laugh. Miss Smith
liked him upon sight. She contrived
that he should meet her. He was penni-
less except for his monthly wages: but
her wealth did not impress him even
little bit. Whereupon Miss Smith liked
him better. Burke, too, soon came 10
see that a girl could be rich without be-
ing stuck up" so he liked her. To
cut the story short. the pennlless sec
ton hand and the millionaire helress were
married few days ago and Burke is
going to quit working for the railroad.
