Back to the state

For some one to come and mend!

Has done what he could
To come out to the good
On the preparation bill.
And it isn't his splendid speeches
That will bring him to town again,

For the good of man

So much as his bland persistence
And his most superior skill
In getting a share

In the preparation bill.

GALLINGER AND BLANK.

Committee on Pensions, If an ornate
Young man who dresses faultlessly,
comes down to work in a silk hat and a
frock coat and looks much more like
what some folks think Senator ought
to look like than some members of the
committee. This afternoon Senator
Gallinger, OF New Hampshire, Chair
man of the Committee, who is short
and bald and not snowy as to ralment,
was looking for the messenger He
rang the bell in the committee room,
pounded on the desk and shouted, but
no messenger came. Then he went out
to the elevator man and said in his
sweetest tones:

tell him Mr. Gallinger would like to
speak to HIM. New York World,

STATE COLONIES HERE.

There is no State or Territory of the
Union which Is not represented in the
population of the Greater New York.
Thus there were 100 natives of Utah,
90 born in Alaska ana14 born in Hawaii
here by the last census. But State
colonies vary decidedly.
New York, with larger foreign-born
population than any other city, has
400, goo inhabitants born in other States
The numbers of natives of neighborIng
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massa-
ehusetts, respectively $4,000, 1000,
and $4,000, are the highest, but the
next largest State colony is Virginia,
having 25, 700.
Connecticut, whose sons in New York
city have been conspicuously success
ful in business and professional life,
adds 20, 900, Ohio $4,000, and natives
of Maryland, a State having intimate
business relations with New York,
sends 5000.
There are 1850 Alabamans in New
York, 3, $50 CalifornIans, /, 400 natives
of Delaware, 400 from Florida, 4,o0O
from Georgia, 5000 from Illinois, 1850
from Indiana, 1900 from Iowa, 300
from Kentucky, 2, 400 from Louisiana,
), 600 from Maine, 3. 400 from Michigan,
I, 100 from Minnesota, 3, 400 from MIS-
souri,, 500 from Nebraska, 1890, from
New Hampshire, 1000 from Rhode Is
land and $500 from North Carolina.
The North Carolina colony in New
York city is surprisingly large, for
North Carolina is a State from which
there is to other States little migration
and into which there is, practically, nc
foreign immigration.
There are 300 Texans in New York.
1000 Tennesseeans, 3.400 natives O.
Michigan, ?, 100 of Wisconaip, /, 100 q
Minnesota, 800 of West Virginia, 4, 1OC
OF Vermont ard 4, 400 of South Caro-
lima. The large number from the last
State, remote from New York, is due t.
the colored population in New Yorl
largely from South Carolina.
There are fewer than 300 natives O
Arkansas in New York city and fewer
than 800 from either Kansas or Missis
sippi. From Colorado there are so
and there are 3, 500 from the District o
Columbia. There was at the period o
the last census 300 natives of Port
Rico, and eleven natives of the Philip
pine Islands. New York Sun.

A GOOD WOMAN.

The tributes at the Court of Special
Sessions yesterday to The memory of
the late Mrs. Rebecca Salome Foster,
who met death so awfulIy in the fire at
the Park Avenue Hotel, demonstrate
anew that the qualities and graces in
womanhood which appeal most power
fully to human admiration are spiritual,
and of the essence of a character exhal-
ted and unworldly The contempla-
ton of them. of charity, self-sacrifice,
lovlng-kindness, piety, purity, and ten
der devotion, uplifts the soul Of man
and purIfes It. Tt puts him as if in a
holy place.
This is a material time, but there is
no materIalism now and none is posi-
bic hereafter which can prevent the
swelling of the breast of man with the
emotions most ennobIing to humanity
when there arises in him the memory
of spotless and sanity womanhood.-

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

One of the leading demands of the

telegraph and telephone lines and this
position has hitherto been strongly OPP
posed both by Republicans and Dem

lican leaders in and ont of congress are
busy advocating this populite position.
Nevertheless the position is wrong and
is unsupported by common sense,

GORGEOUS was THIS DINNER.

to dazzle even the Prince, used as he
is to magnifcence. Mr.. Orr, of the
Committee of Arrangements, denied
that the banquet represented an out
lay of $500, 900, as had been reported it
would, but admitted that it cost many
thousands. OF the splendor of the din
ner and its picture" the correspond
emit of the Philadelphia Ledger says:

would appear like country picnic be

ployed IN the decorations are worth

service was provided, at a cost of sew
eral thousand dollars, and the CHR
and cut glass were selected for the &C.
casion regardless of expense. The ser
wants were dressed in a special livery,
designed for the occasion and costing
500 per suit. And the servItors to wear
the fine clothes, like the clothes them
selves, were specially selected, each
being warranted to keep straight
face and never crack smile no matter

no further news in regard to the property,
the stock gradually declined and became
dull. 1t closed at a moderate advance. The
next stock in point of activity was Sugar,
the buying of which was to a large extent
by Washington houses. There was a vague
rumOr that there was good news from
Washington, but to its character moth
