"AND THE BOY GUESSED RIGHT"

From the New York Sun.
 The house in which ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed was born is still standing in Portland, Me. When Mr. Reed was born the neighhorhood was one of the better residence parts of the city, not far from the water and commanding a good view of Portland harbor. Years ago the rail- roads found 1t convenient to build tracks and erect freight houses along that part of the water front, and it ceased to be at tractive for those who could afford to go elsewhere. About two years ago the peo- pie of the city erected memorial tablets to mark the birth spots of some of her distinguished sons, and the modest house in which Mr. Reed first saw light of day is now thus adorned. It was occupied some years ago by family named Hen messy. All the boys and girls of the neigh borhood knew that 1t was MT. Reed s birthplace, and were always glad to tell inquiring visitors all about it. In one of the schools one day the teacher was ask ing class of small boys some questions in history.
 "Where was Washington born?' she asked.
 'Virginia," was the answer.
 "Where was Adams born?" and the next youngster replied Massachusetts" !"
 So the teacher continued through the list of Presidents, and then, to stimu- late local pride she went over the names of some of the distinguished sons of Maine. Finally she asked:
 And where was Speaker Reed born?'
 Right in Tom Hennessy's dining room," answered the boy whose turn it was, and the teacher could not mark him anything but perfect

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Story on Field.

'The recent marriage of Eugene Fields daughter recalls hitherto un- published story of the cratic western genius," said a man from New York last night.
 There were visitors in prospect one afternoon in the Field household and strike in the culinary department. Mis- chief was at flood tide and Mrs. Field was vainly endeavoring to be everywhere at once, when the man of 'Sharps ana Flats appeared in the kitchen doorWay with a folio in his hand
 "' oh, won't you watch those pies for me while run upstairs an instantY his wife exclaimed. Be sure not to let the you'd better give me that book or they'll be burned to a crisp.s With mock meek ness MT. Field allowed her to carry off his treasure. On returning she was hor- rified to find the oven door wide open, and the rich, fluffy meringne flat, tough and leatherlike.
 " They're ruined!' she exclaimed in dis may. Why didn't you keep the oven door shut2
 ANS1E AAAS oOOA 9AAAN' peated in a very genuine amazement. Why you told me to watch them every instant, and I'd like to know how could do that with the oven door shut
 After weeks of patient waiting for chance, Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Wood- ruff has at last succeeded in turning the tables on his friend, exSenator William J. La Roche of Brooklyn said New York travelling salesman. Last sum mer MT. Woodruff and Mir. La Roche were of a party at the Montauk Club in Brooklyn, and the lieutenant governor remarked that he intended to go abroad in a few days for a trip.
 ." Say, La Roche he said turning to the ex-Senator, why not come along with me?
 La Roche did not seem to be enthusi- astic over the proposition.
 " I don't think you've got the nerve to come.' said the lieutenant governor; you're afraid of getting seasick.
 ia Roche merely laughed.
 " If you can screw up spunlz enough to come with me I'll pay all your expenses said MT. Woodruff dare you to ac- cept the proposition.'
 La Roche laughed again, but said nothing.
 "A few days later, when Mir. Woodruff boarded an ocean liner bound for Eu- rope, the first man to greet him on the dock was ex-Senator La Roche. When they returned from abroad a month or so later all that was left of the apoplectic- looking bank roll which Mr. Woodruff had taken with him was the rubber band which had held it together, and the laugh was on the Lieutenant Governor.
 "A day or two before election day MT. La Roche and MT. Woodruff met, and the former casually remarked that Edward M. Shepard looked like an easy winner.
 "A light of joy came into the eyes of the Lieutenant Governor. His long looked-for chance to get even had come.
 Bet you $500 you're wrong he said quickly.
 It's go,' returned La Roche.
 When the result was known on elec- tion night the Lieutenant Governor went up to the Montauk Club to collect from his friend, the ex-Senator.
 "'Well, old man. he sGid to the un- happy La Roche, I guess I'll take those European expenses of yours now
 And the last laugh and the best laugh was Woodruff,s"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Some men are so thoughtful they buy boxes of cigars for their wife's birthday.
 Some people are so enterprislng they don't have to go to the devil-he comes to them.
 Whether 1t is dignified for a man to carry brown paper bundle in the street depends lot on whether it is his wife's or a pretty woman's he is walking with.
 There is nothing a man grumbles about so much as the way his wifes tongue wags, but he is so inconsistent that he never thinks of marrying tongue-tied woman.
 You can get old fast enough without worrying about whether your wifes rich uncle is going to cut her out of his will because he knows you voted a different ticket from him.

Factlonal Fight Over.

'The heated factional fight Is now a thing of the past" said prominent Democrat who supported the constitu- tion. 'The election on Monday guaran- tees to the state an organic law under which life and property will be protect ed, and our educational and material in- terests will be permitted to grow We have nothing to gain by remembering the i'll feelings, If any have developed, by reason of the contest through which we have just passed. Let Democrats, re- gardless of their convictions on the con- stitution, come together, and labor as one man for the upbuildlng of Alabama and honest elections. I do not believe that it is right to try and read a man out of the party because he did not sup port the constitution. The Democratic party in Alabama as we'll as in the United States is in need of recruits in stead of driving people away"

to listen him. And then one has to re-
member that Representative Mossman
is chairman of the Committee upon
Public Health. 1t is certainly a pretty
severe comment upon the personal of
our committees. If Representative
Mossman were on an astronomical COM
mittee he would no doubt argue and
prove that the sun went round the
earth or that the earth is fat and if
you walk to the edge you will fall over.
Anything is possible to such blank
mind as this.
But there is one thing in Representa-
tive Mossman's remarks which should
be investigated. He said the Sanitary
Commissioners were guilty of NAL
feasance in office" He stated that
property holders for a fee were per-
mitted to keep their places as dirty as
they pleased. If this is so it is a mat
ter for the Grand Jury to investigate,
and Mr.. Mossman should be called be-
fore that body and asked to tel what
he knows about such transactions, and
whether he has clear evidence or is GO
ing upon hearSay. If Representative
Mossman's charge is true the men i'm
plicated should be punished to the ut
most vigor of the law
Now that Representative Beckley has
returned the House will probably get
move on and the sadly crippled
wheels of government may be allowed
to turn in the direction of progress in
stead of being buried in the slough of
inanitiOn.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

1t is absolutely no use criticising the
Legislature, it has risen to height
which it is impossible to follow. When
one of the leading Independent mem
bers, a man who has devoted time,
talents and money to the cause, could
say the other day Il wish there were
a Cromwell here who would march in
and dissolve us" it does seem as if the
whole body was very much out of hand
The exhibition which Representative
Mossman made of himself when discus
sing-,but one cannot say discussing,
because remarks such as his We're not
in the nature of Reconsideration bah
bling of post norton examinations,
was certainly a most extraordinary one.
The remarks We're so utterly stupid,
so lacking in common sense, and dis
played such a. depth Of both ignorance
and prejudice that it is a wonder

looks more and more as if the Fire
Claim Commissioners would be swamp

ly no six months session will clear the

the final adjudication of the claims will

if any claims are actually passed upon
by the commission they will become
negotiable property and no doubt there
will be considerable speculation for the

years of service yesterday. The Cap
tain Bandmaster has done faithful and
loyal service to the state. Under his
tuition many Hawaiians and part-Ha-

and been able to earn a good living.
The present Legislature talks of doing
away with the band, and Captain Ber-
gre's life long connection with the
government may cease. All old resi-
dents will regret this very much, and
no doubt a strong effort will be made to
retain Captain Berger's services but it
will never be the same thing as it was.
All honor to Captain Berger for the
excellent and elevating work he has
done for Hawaii during his long and
career.

The theory that opium is smuggled
over the Canadian line and then for
warded from the sound both to this
Territory and to San Francisco is quite
plausible. 1t is a very hard thing to
properly patrol the Canadian frontier
and there must be many places through
which the willy smuggler can slip. To
ship from Seattle here is dead easy,
since packages from any American
ports are not examined by the customs
authorities. No doubt the revenue Off
cials will find a mean of stopp'~~ the
trade on time, and then the price of
dope will go up with a rush, though
at present it is said the market is over
stocked. But the advantage of dope is
that it will keep.
