S7INGY HUSBAN NDS.

Mrs. Joseph B. Gerhardt, of Shamo- kin, Pennsylvania, called her husband stingy, and he up and shot her dead. What graveyard time there would be if many husbands were as sensitive as MT. Gerhardt Fortunately there are many husbands who are able to endure the reproach of being stingy when they know said reproach is undeserved, and there are also many husbands who can restrain themselves from murder even when they know they are as stingy as their wives say they are. Just how Mrs Gerhardt told her husband that he was stingy doesn't appear, nor does it appear that he was really stingy, ex- cept from the fact that Mrs Gerhardt told him he was. Probably he was, at least from her viewpoint, and he may have been. judged by any fair test. But whether he was or was not, it Is clear that Mrs Gerhardt didn't gain anything by telling him he was stingy. She probably meant her talk for his good, but her fate Is another illustration of the fact that reformatory work, even when undertaken with the best of in- tent, is sometimes futile. Still, we do not think this case ought to discourage wives from effort to mitigate the stin- giness of husbands, nor do we think 1t will

NOT AFRAID OF 'EM.

Ex-Senator Edmunds has the repu- tation of being a pretty wise man, and 1t is interesting to notice that he isn't afraid of the trusts. They will, he says, work out the problem themselves in a manner They will go through the same transformation that the railroads did few years ago. I think experi- ence has shown that in all big combina- tions of this kind it is found that they are very prosperous for time at the start, then they begin to fall behind, and finally they go to pieces
 We don't know when there has been any experience with such big combina- tions as now exist, but the railroads had a pretty lively experience before they became investments" And we have no doubt that the trusts will also have lively experience before their securities become secure. When the testing time comes there will be some sad surprises for those who have be- lieved that "combination'' could make gold out of fresh water. After it has come and gone 1t will be found that busi- ness Is still business, and that swindling continues to be swindling.

SOME MAXIMs OF oBENDAGA.
A Chief With Fifty-f1ve Wives Voices
 His Sentiments on Married Life.

Chief With Fifty-fve Wives Voices
 His Sentiments on Married Life.
 Obendaga has fifty-five wives. As he sat in the shade of coya in the
 African Village yesterday, he kicked at
 the shadow of slave, spat on the bay use of benegor, and nodded solemnly that he had spoIses two score and | fifteen. Rangootula, the priest, inter preted into French from Senegalese of the twenty-ninth dialect. At times | Obendaga wearied of thinking and Ramgootula took up the task and | thought as well as talked for the great | chief of the savages. At such time | Dbendaga spat and snored and twice took snuff of plug tobacco that had been chewed into quids by the wives, dried in the sunshine and powdered by groyula stones In the moonlight. Obendaga marries with nod. He ducks his head and grunts twice and the ceremony is as binding in Senegal as if 1t were held in grand cathedral with a parade up the main aisle to the altar while 'Lohengrin' marched poured forth. In the marriage line Obendaga has ducked about 2S6 times, according to the reedta graves and surviving spouses. By the banyada count of bamboo rows he has been widower 231 times and is @ husband to
 ifty-fiye more women now living as his wives How many more Obendaga won with nod in the days of youth history tells not and the banyada count has feft no bamboo row to relate.
 thn a al says Obendaga, "A bygone wife Is better dead; her life is spent her days are over
 Ramgootula here needed few words of French, and cautiously led the great chief to speak of domestic matters. The utterances of Obendaga are the words of a seer Ramgoomla with pro- fuse obcisance explained that the great and good and wise and sublime Oben daga would condescend to speak of Memories of my wifes, and how to pick them'
 wives are like weeds, sometimes; unless you choke them they will choke you; unless you cut them off they poison you,' grunted Obendaga
 When a woman smiles and keeps her teeth shut, marry her for a coula who can bite when she laughs.
 "The wife who clutches her left side with her right hand is good; she who scratches her left side with her left hand can scratch with both hands; shun her.
 "When a woman weeps pat her once; if she stills weeps, beat her twice.
 If you do not like woman's ear, cut it off: she will hear no less and | may look more beautiful.

THE BIC DEBT OF FRANC

 of $6, 900, 900. Financiers of the gov ernment do not predict that this sum
 can or will be decreased, so long as the proposition of workingmen's pensions is adopted, though the scheme on It's face
 is self-supporting, the debt must grow much larger. The. Budget commissions of the government each year appear to
 make ends meet on paper, but there is,
 nevertheless a constant deficit that is

EXPLAINING IT TO HER.

"George, dear, do you understand how it is they are fighting mosquitoes with Standard Oil?" T have read something about the process, my love-" "Is it simpler"
 "Well, no, my dear, I should hardly call it that. It requires some dexterity and considerable patience. You see you have to catch the 'skeeter first Then you anoint him thoroughly with No. crude oil. After this you set fire to him.
 Dear me, how cruel!'
 But you must be very careful. If you let the mosquito get away from you while burning he may fly into the barn and set fire to the hay, and thus engender a large confagratipn In fact there is no telling how far a fire started in that way might spread. You know the old saying that Rome was not burned in day. and a fire like that might last several weeks. It is always best to hold fast to your mosquito until he burns to ashes

EAT, RUT DEAD.

The shadow of Brother Bryan's ap- preaching fate Is stealing with mourn full prophecy across his mind. He is experiencing the ingratitude of repub- lies. The Pennsylvania Democrats meeting in State convention didn't pay any attention to him and the Virginia alluding to him in their platform as one of line of leaders extending from Jefferson unto Bryan. And the tempo rary chairman of the convention polite- ly consigned him to his political grave as follows: In the last campaign we presented a divided front on the issue of finance, which was but temporary question. In the next we will present a united front on questions which are eternal Twice we have followed Will liam Jennings Bryan and free silver to the sepulchre and not once to the resur- rection. There can be no more resur- rection of the dead, no more rising from the grave In the Democratic temple of fame, which is the hearts of the peo- pie, alongside Thomas Jefferson, An drew Jackson, Samuel J. Tilden and other great leaders of the Democracy, we will place the equally great Nebras- kan, and in the memories of our past glorious record, free silver at the ratio of IS to will have an abiding place as another cause nobly fought and hope- lessly lost.

Twenty years ago Chautauqua coun- sty. Kansas, had a defaulting treasurer who ran away, taking s3.6Oo of the peoples money. He was arrested and brought back, but in the laws delay escaped all punishment. Before he ran away he so mutilated the combina- ton lock on the inside safe in his of- flee that it could not be opened Strange to say, this lock was never forced in all tue twenty years which have since elapsed. Wednesday, however, the county commissioners had it broken open, and the vault was found empty as every body expected. What the man broke the lock for has never been ex- plained, unless he had a plan subse- squently abandoned, of remaining at his post and explaining to the treasury ex- aminers that the missing funds had been accidentally locked away.
