MAID OF ALL WORK.

Worm Turned When His Wife Ordered
 Him to Cook-He Bathed the Chil-
 dren and Did Washing.
 For six long months 1 have worn the letters and been the household slave. have been mistress, servant and pro- wider, while my wife acted the grand dame.' I have been anything but the master but was willing for the chil- dren's sake to bear the burden rleekly and without complaint. But when my wife hailed me to police court and charged me with cruelty, that was the last straw, and now I have revolted." Louis Krause of No. BOA Second street, dropped a large feather duster which he had been using assiduously and prepared to give vent to the feel ings which had for many months been within him.
 T have been the mildest, gentlest, kindest of husbands" he continued, and have done everything a husband should do. I have also been forced to take upon my shoulders the duties of my wife. I have done the washing, ironing, cleaning and scrubbing of this house, while my wife simply looked on and bossed the job, but now it's all over.
 T have been married twice, and this is my second wife. I have four chill dren by my first wife and they will testify to the truth of all I say. About six months ago my wife developed ideas in regard to the emancipation of her sex One morning she told me that she would no longer wash my children and that I would have to do it. I did so without a murmur. Then she de- cided that I should dress them and acquiesced.
 "A week later she suddenly decided to do no more sweeping and handed me 9 broom with which to clean up. The next job that fell upon my shoul-, ders was making up the beds. She said that if I wanted them fixed I would have to do them myself, and have been doing them ever since.
 '"The next thing that attracted my attention was the fact that the win dows had not been washed for several weeks I spoke to my wife about them, and she told me to clean them myself. This I had to do and have been doing so ever since.
 My first murmur of complaint came when I had to scrub the floor It was merely a murmur, but when l found that I would have to do it or let the house remain dirty went down on my knees and scrubbed.
 ''Then came the washing and ironing. I was never requested to do the work, but was confronted with the situation of either doing it or wearing unclean linen. With the help of my little daughter I have been washing clothes ever since.
 ''On Wednesday I came home and found that I would also have to become cook or go without meals. I then told my wife that I would no longer stand it and that the household cares would be transferred back to her and if she did not like it she could leave my house.
 ..As a result of this declaration l was hauled up to the Essex market police court on Thursday charged with cruelty. My wife swore that while I held her my children beat her, So i'm pressed was the judge with the story that he threw the case out of court.
 Krause yesterday consulted his law yers, Greenthal & Greenthal, of No. 5l Chambers street, and they served the wife with papers in a suit for limited divorce.-From the New York World.

NEW LONDON TAKES TWO


 New London, July S.-NeW London took two games from Derby to-day by some good playing and the best of luck. The latter was by far the most impor- tant factor in the result, for both teams played gilt-edge ball and timely hitting alone when hits were needed saved the day for the home team. The scores: First game

of the pan-American congress convoked
at the invitation Of Mexico and now sit
ting at the Mexican capital. The dele
gates Of the United States are under the
most liberal instructions to cooperate
with their colleagues in all matters prom
ising advantage to the great family Of
American commonwealths as well in
their relations among themselves as in
their domestic advancement and in their
intercourse with the world at large.
My predecessor communicated to tho
congress the fact that the We'll and La
Abra awards against Mexico have been
adjudged by the highest courts of our
country to have been obtained through
fraud and perjury on the part Of the
claimants and that in accordance with
the acts Of the congress the money re-
naming in the hands of the secretary Of
state on these awards has been returned
to Mexico. A considerable portion of the
money received from Mexico on these
awards had been paid by this government
TO the claimants before the decision of
the courts was rendered. My judgment is
that the congress should return to Mexico
an amount equal to the sums thus already
paid to the claimants.
The death of Queen Victoria caused the
people of the United States deep and
heartfelt sorrow, to which the government
gave full expression. When President Nc
Kinley died, our nation in turn received
from every quarter of the British empire
expressions of grief and sympathy no
less sincere. The death of the Empress
Dowager Frederick of Germany also
aroused the genuine sympathy Of the
American people, and this sympathy was
cordially reciprocated by Germany when
the president was assassinated. Indeed
from every quarter of the civilized world
we received, at the time of the presidents o
death, assurances of such grief and re-
gard as to touch the hearts of our people.
In the midst of our affliction we revt rert :

pence with the nations of mankind, AMI
we firmly intend that our pc icy shall be
such as TO continue unbroMea these inter-
national relations of mutual respect and

WHERE IRE THE LEADERse

Every sign of the times in politics is
pointing the way to the Democratic op-
portunity. Since congress has adjourned
many incidents have occurred to confirm
this view. The Republican party is en-
tering on a new line of experience. The
feeling SO long prevalent that the Re
publieans must be allowed their own
way without any hope of successful OPP
position on the part of the Democracy
is passing away. 1t is hardly too much
to say that it has passed away
The one condition necessary to utilizing
the grand opportunities which are OPEN
ing daily to the Democratic opposition
is that of cooperation. We have strong
representation, at least numerically, in
the lower house, and an opposition in the
senate, not so strong numerically, but
stronger apparently in influence and NOR
al stamina. The leaders of the party
outside congress are not coming together
as they should. There is talk heard ev-
cry day of the coming union of forces in
Croker, and State Chairman Campbell
and Mr.. Shepard the defeated candidate
for mayor of the metropolis, are, we
have been told, coming together, and
the plan will soon be evolved which
will unite all of the party elements.
There is all kinds of encouragement
for Democrats, if only the leaders would
come together, and lay aside all nonsense
We have free traders and tariff revision
lists, and some protectionists in the par
ty. We have silver men and anti-silver
men, as well as gold men, those who
believe in taking the power to issue
currency away from the banks, and
those who believe in a bank currency.
We have those who favor the most rigid
control of public and quasi-public cor
porations, and those who believe in state
ownership of public utilities. We have
men who believe we should keep the
Philippines and those who think we
should let them go. But there is not a
man in the entire country who calls
himself a Democrat, or who has coop
Grated with the Democratic party. no
matter how he may think on those sub
jects, that believes in the political alb
solutism which prevails today under the
control of the Republican party in ma
tional affairs
The constitution has become very by
