Jumped From Brook1yn Bridge.

NEW YORK, July S.-A man about forty years old, shabbily dressed, jumped from the middle span of the Brooklyn bridge at 2:55 o'clock yes. terday afternoon and was probably killed, as his body was not seen to rise after he struck the water. Hundreds of persons on trolley cars and walking the promenade witnessed the suicide. No one was near enough to prevent the man taking his fatal iuElp.

NohevIs va1ley under water

UTICA, N. Y, July S.--The Mohawk river has risen above it's banks from Rome eastward, and water now covers thousands of acres of heavy grass ready to harvest and all the bottom lands devoted to mixed farming. In some places in the Mohawk valley farmers have lost nearly all the crops of this year. They will be covered with dirt and debris and thus spoiled.

The Empty Stocking.

The little rcd drum has lost its head.
The dolly has lost her hair;
The little tin horn IS battered Hat.
And broken the tiny chair;
Ro, The Christmas Joy Is not forget,
Though the toys ore torn aud rents
Aud We smile with Joy that girl and boy
Arc sleeping SO well content
Bu, tears viii shine through the brieh,cs
smiles
When the noise of day Is stillcd;
When the thoughts Of other days recall
The stocking that was not filled.
The Tiny stocking that's laid away,
Well worn at heel and toe
\ keepsake dear through many year
of the baby we loved so.
Though VIC smiled with JOY ON Christmas
eve
At the stockings hanging here.
For wcll'wom stocking laid away
Fell a mothers silent tear
Aud sacred box was brough, to light
In the full of the Christmas tide,
And eyes grew dim as We thought of him
OF the baby hoy that died
little box with It's tcar-s,aiucd lid,
Laid away with sob aud sigh,
The relies beneath It's cover hid
Not wealth Of worlds could buy.
Aud though We smile when the stockings
hang,
And our hearts with 10y arc thrilled,
The tear drops tall when We recall
The stocking that was not filled.

A Race Against Time.

The Humane Society has entered a vigor-
Gus protest against the proceedings of a man
who proposed TO ride a horse from New
York to Chicago in race against time. The
idea was to compel tho horse, If possible,
to average one hundred and twenty Ave
miles day.
This sort Of thing is ON a level with the
siN.day bicycle race which have created un-
pleasant sensations recently. There rs no
sense in IL, lIone racing on track Is an
entirely different thing. The thorough.
bred usually enjoys the performance as
much as the spectators, If one can Judge by
appearances. he rs creature carefully
bred 10y man FOR this express purpose. Ills
1.-THE body, strong mucles, sensitive nerves,
and almost human intelligence, are all
adapted 10 the business of speeding over
the track, and he instinctiyely seeks the
pleasure of exercising his powers. This Is
natural TO every creature. The athlete en-.
joys using his MUSCLES; the mechanic delights
in doing a good bit of work the artist rcyel.
in working out conception; the hunting
dog is as eager for the hunt as the sports.
man. Il Is all part Of the same plan. Alb
solnte laliness is foreign to the laws of the
universe. man or beast in perfect
condition delights ia The work for which he
is fitted" II he does not, it is sign either
that lac is not in the right work, or that
something is wrong with him
but siN'day bicycle races and long distance
horse races are an entirely different matter.
They are trials Of endurance, and while
the power OF endurance IS good thing,
there are plenty Of occasions ON which Il
can be developed without cruelty 10 animals
or man. When dam breaks and il Is
necessary for somebody TO ride day and
night to ward people Of a flood, there Is no
thought Of the strain bu, It is likely to fall
ON one not particularly qualified for IL.
There Is no useful purpose to be served by
artificial trials Of strength.

Hawaii's good, both politically and finan-
cially. consider Hawaii to be the Mag
ara Falls of the Pacific as an attraction
lean travels, and the people here should
encourage the tourist folk.
About politics, know little OF your
local matters. 1 was surprised, however,
in Honolulu. I notice that Wilcox is
claiming the credit of securing the fran
chise for the Hawaiians. The credit for
this. and 1 consider it a great credit, be-
longs to Gilbert F. Little. No other view
is held in circles where the history Of the
formation of Hawairs organic act is at
all known. AS 1 said was at first open
ly hostile to the scheme. 1t was Little
who won me, and. since seeing the Ha-
waiians, l am more than ever convinced
that his judgment was right.
=" AS to delegates in Congress there is a
growing sentiment at Washington against
having the territories represented at all.
There is Cuba and Porto Rico and the
of much dread. Some day they will all
be clamoring for delegates lahoma.
New Mexico and Arizona viii soon be
states. Alaska Is without a delegate:
Porto Rico has merely a commissioner.
While l do not predict it, l would not be
surprised if Hawaiis delegate were taken
from her. This is more likely to be done
than that there shall be admitted a corps
of congressional delegates from all our
