Tillman As a Lecturer.

Senator Tiltman has received a aas-
tering offer from the lyceum bureau to
appear for fifty nigats il City different
pisces and lecture on any topic he may
choose. He is inclined to consider the
proposition favorably, aud there is no
DOUBT Of his success. Tillman is man
of original ideas and methods. He has a
keen sense Of humor, Q quaint philoso-
ply and picturesque personality which
will attract and entertain the public It
would be difficult, however, to imagine
him delivering set speech. Like some
thoroughbred horses, he will not work to
harness, but must have plenty Of room
and free rein or he will not run at all.
Under ordinary circumstances, except
VIXEN he loses bis temper, he is an en-.
tertailing talker, but his speeches have
always been eztemporaneous and be
could not stick to mapuscript even if he
had the disposition to prepare one. His
language is often uncouth, but that
adds to the force Of his address. Even
so exact man as Thomas Jefferson
once wrote to John Adams that it some
times strengthened arrangement to de-
part from the rules Of syntax and drop
into the vernacular. It is the vernscu-
lar that Tlllmsn uses. BE says Whist he
means in ordinary, every day English,
and his like has never been seen upon
the lecture platform-Chicago Record.

The Lootlng of Chinas.

The saddest consequences Of the
military operations abroad in which the
so. called Christian nations have
been indulging in recent months is the
fact that they have Laid what is known
as Christendom open to criticisms on
the part Of what have always been con-
sidered heathens and pagans. However
much We may hope that the war in the
Philippines, South Africa and China
may result at least in wider reach Of
Christian influence, it is hard to make
the victims Of the present slaughter un-
derstand that these processes are the
work of merciful God. From inter-
views with the leading Orientals Of late
it appears that they have taken Gospel
message quite literally, and why should
they not do SO? When they read the in"
junction that We should love cur enc
mics, and should not coVet, and should
not steal, and should not bear false
witness, they naturally conclude that
these to US are divine commands which
should be literally obeyed. ltis difficult
for them to reconcile these to their
gross violations, which are seen in for
eign parts Of the earth today. The So
cslled punitive expeditions in northern
China carried on by some Of the
Christian powers are mere covers for
grand looting enterprises, which leave
IN their trail murder and misery, and q
a prejudice against Christian clViliza-
ton which Will not die in q thousand

Some Costly Wrecks.

The loss Of the City Of de Jaaeiro at
Golden Gate leads the Springfield Re-
publican to ssy that this is neither the
first nor the worst disaster which ever
befell the Pacific Mail Steamship com.
pany. ItrevieWs the record and declares
that company has had a very loag and
varied career extending back almost 10
the beginning Of steam navigation.
During the past fifty years it has lost
19 steamships, and among the princi-
pal VIE cks cited are those Of the Col
den este of the Mexican coast in 1862,
when 200 of the 300 passengers on
board perished, and Of the steamer
Japan off the China coast in the early
'70's, when 400 Chinese were drowned.
But much the most noteworthy disa1.
ter the company ever suffered was the
loss Of the steamer Central America In
8 storm of Cape Hatteras in SepSem-
Der, 1857. Of the $40 souls on board,
only 152 were saved. There went down
with the ship also some 1000, 900 in
gold from California, and as the coun-s
try was then in the thick Of the panic
Of 1857, when hard coin was in much
greater demand than the promise OF J.,
the wreck Of the Central America was
especially felt in financial circles. BIT

The Bitterness of Exile.

One Of the features Of our reign IN
the Philippines that is not pleasant to
the read about is the banishing Of Filipi-
nos to the Island Of Guam, which has
been made a military prison BY our
government. Here is the picture as
drawn by Manila paper: The scenes
were pathetic in the extreme. Many
friends of the e1iles feared to show
their sympathy and remained away,
but wives, children and sWeethearts
followed the ambulance to the wharf,
weeping, shrieking and tearing their
way in afrensy of grief. Grayheaded
women, mothers of some pfthe pri-
soners, ran barefooted in the dust Of

Robbed the Mail.

W. R. Keys, postofice inspector has
returned from Stockville, Cam pbell
county, where be arrested Miss Mary
Bolton, assistant postmaster at that
place on charge of riAing the mail.
For some time articles have been miss
ing from the mails at Stockvil!e. lnspec
tor Keys was sent there to locate the
trouble. He knew an inspector would
be expected at the Office, SO he went to
Wells Springs, five miles from Stock
vile, where he registered as adrummer
for a'surgical instrument house. BE
found that over 100 letters and pack
ages had been taken. Several decoy
letters were sent out and he soon had
enough evidence to warrant the ar
rest Of Miss Bolton. She confessed all.
Her father, Rev. John R. Bolton, is
pastor Of the Methodist church st that
place and is also the postmaster. Miss
Bolton has been bound to trial at the
next term Of the United States court.
Bond was made for her. She is the
second woman ever arrested in this
state for q like offense.

Jewish Population.

The Jewish population of the United
States is now estimated at 1000, 600:
Twenty years sgo the number Of jews
in this country was notmore than about
one-fourth as mauy. But in conse-
quence of the Russian prosecutions
which became intoierable about the
year 1881, the Influx Of Jewish imni-
grafton since that period has been very
largo. Between the years 1884 and 1889
there arrived 4O1, 1923 Jews at the port
of New York. sioce l990-91, when g.
674 Jews landed in New Yo:k, the

a Good Work.

An appeal for funds to furnish means
for the establishing of industrial schools
in the Southern States has lately been
issued overthe name Of Anne S. Green.
at CuIpepper, Va. In the appeal is found
the following reference to the children
Of many Southern people: "Let the lit
to ones not parish or become base citl-
zsns with brutal instincts, fitting them
for poor, houses and penitentlarles.
Many Of them. girls and boys, at the
early age Of eigns and ten, are oelns

parents in the mills and factories which
are springing up in the country. They
lave public schools, but they do not

against him is fraudulent use CT the

the sale Of certain recipes and offered
as pr;zs with each order facsimile
bills to the amount of SIS which he said
were printed on '"B n psper and could
not be told from the genuine article.
The bills in reality were Confederate
notes. ALLEN numbered his victims
from Maine to Mexico, several orders
having been received from New York
State. He was given preliminary ez.

AN HONEST MAN.
Paris Gibson, senator-Elect from Mon
tana Has Great Conscience.

A dispatch from Minneapolis, Minn {,
SAYS the announcement that Paris Glib
son, formerly CT Minneapolis, had been
elected Uaited States senator from
Montana was received with more than
passing interest in this city and brought
back to the minds Of many old settlers
an occurance which shows his honesty.
Mr.. Gibson started the first Toolen
mill in Minneapolis, which was oper-
ated on Sixth avenue. south. near Sec
end street. He employed more than
100 hands, and for many years did a
thriving business,
Gibson went down with the paric Of
II, and when the mill was closed down
every employe had wages coming for
one month and ten days. The aggre-
gate was close to SO, 600 No judgment
were secured against Mr.. Gibson, and
as times became better the matter soon
passed from the minds Of the en-
ployes.
Mr.. Gibson went to Montana in 1879
and from the stsrt appears to have
met with SUCCESS. In decade he had
fairly we'll retrieved his lost fortunes
and then prepared surprise for his
old emeloyes in Minneapolis. He had
the old accounts in bis possession and
knew exactly what every employs had
due him. 1t was thirteen years after
Mr.. Gibson failed that the former en-
ployes through Minneapolis attor-
ney received notice to the effect that
if they would call at his Office ard es-
tablish their ideotity as the person Mr..
Gibson presumed him OF her to be, the
wages for the month and ten days would
be forthcoming with insersss a. the
rate Of 7 per cent.
Il was not possible for Mr.. Gibson
to pay all the back wages dus, as many
Of his former employees had left the
city and ceuld rot be found. There are
still in the employ of the North Altar
Wooden company many men who
worked for Mr.. Gibson during the '70s,
and all have the kindliest feeling for
him and are pleased to learn Of the
great esteem in which he is held by the
people of Montana. That be had a
personal recollection Of his many form:
er employees was shown in the case of
Mrs. Carlson Of South Minneapolis.
MIS-. Carlson was Is years Of age when
the Mill closed and had $23 coming.
When Mr. Gibson sent her the money
he added the following:
Il suppose you are married; IN
that event take this money and buy
yourself Wedding present. :"
She expended the money for a silver
tes service.
