Mrs. Mary A. Snody is the oldest
'school-girl'' in St. Louis. She is
seventyfour years old, and has just
been graduated from a four years
course. She is a grandmother. When
she was sixty-eight years old she be-
gan systematic course of study. In
her youth she was denied educational
advantages. 1t was not until six years
ago that she was able to set to work
on her life's desire.
Sir Martin Conway, the explorer
and mountain-climber, was the guest
of honor at the Authors Club reception
in New York last week Among others
who attended the reception was Col
umbia College professor, who said to
Henry Abbey; WHO is this Conway?
l can't place him." why, you know
who he is" said Mr.. Abbey; 1.-THE ex-
plorer and mountain climber" ITO be
sure-to be sure?" said the professor"
but what it he doing in New York ?"
Merely travelling from climb to climb"
was the reply.

THE DEADLY PISTOL.

1t is probable that outside of actual
war more unintentional than intention
al injuries to persons are caused by
pistols. 1t is very common thing
to see an account of a dangerous or
fatal unintentional shooting in the
newspapers. There were two such
shootings in this city on Sunday, and
very distressing ones they were. In
neither case, as far as learned. was
there was less excuse for the accident
in the case of the party of white and
negro boys than in the other. In neither
case. however. was there thought
OF danger a moment before the accident
occurred.
No doubt that, in this community,
owing to these accidents, it will be said
there ought to be legislation prohibiting
such common use of pistols. At pres
ent anybody can get a pistol. 1t is
just as free to the 10-year-old boy
as it is to the mature man. If a man
or boy has the money he can get a
pistol, shotgun or rife. And these
weapons are often found in the hands
Of those who do not appreciate the
necessity of handling them with care.
The wonder is that there are not more
accidents.
1t is not probable, however. that the
Legislature could be induced to place
a restriction on the ownership Of fire
arms. Public sentiment does not seem
to demand such legislation, and the
Legislature is not likely to abrldge the
liberty Of the people in any respect

A TypicaI wall street Begsar.

Wall street has its beggars. like the
rags: neither do they side up to a
man and panhandle" him, says the
New York Times. They look like fair
ly well-to-do members of society, and
very likely that is just what they are.
But they certainly have their nerve
with them.
One of these fellows, in the habit of
walking into Wormser's office, just
at the busiest times, would push his
way right into the inner sanctum re-
gardless of doormen and other obstruc-
tons, till he could find Louis Wormser
himself. And he never went out again
until he had extracted some loose
change.
Wormser became tired one day, and
said. Look here, Meier, I'll make a
contract with you; here is IS if you'll
clear out for one year"
Make it ten. and it's a 60"
mot much, five it is. Take 1t or
leave it, but you don't get another
cent here till next Jan. 20 whether you
take It or not
Meier squirmed and struggled, but
he took the five and kept his word.
Next year he appeared at 2:30 p.
M, Jan. 20, to renew his contract, and
succeeded.
But this year Mr.. Wormser was not
in town. and Meier came in half a
dozen times before he finally found
him. He got his IS. but he wanted
carfare, too. for all the times he had
failed.
Il am poor man, Mr. Wormser,"
he walled. 81 have had to come all
the way from Williamsburg nearly
ten times, just because you did not
keep your part of the contract. Now,
look at all the money and time I've
wasted. You ought to pay me an ex-
ira 81 for that"
And he almost got it-but not quite.

People about New York and Long
Island breathed easier some time ago
when it was announced that Mr.. w. X
Vanderbilt had sold his white Ghost"
and RED Demon" automobiles. They
fiattered themselves that a source of
anxiety had been removed. But they
reckoned without their host. The
cabaes announce that Mr.. Vanderbilt
has just had constructed in Germany
machine capable of maintaining a
speed of IS miles an hour all day. He
is going to race in Europe with it dur
ing the coming summer, and next fall
it will be splitting the wind and other
things on Long Island and up the Hud-
son.

Col. F. S. Andrews of Ohio, who has
been spending some time in Cuba,
says that in less than five years the
island will be in the throes of civil
war, as one incident of which Spain
will propose to the island that it return
to Spanish domination. A pro-Spanish
movement, he says, is already being
fcstered by the rich land owners who,
while claiming to be Cubans, are really
Spaniards.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem) says:
American policies all go by contraries
in Asia. In the Philippines the Govern
ment is going to make the silver dollar
the standard coin. This follows the
worldwide rule-the white standard
for yellow men and the yellow standard
for white men,"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
(Dem.) says: THE South has solved
many perplexing problems and they
will remain solved for sometime to
come until new conditions arise. Only
bitter enemy of the South would seek
to disturb the normal quiet now exist
ing. We have had enough of sectional
strife and foolish talk about race ques-
tions and every patriotic man, be he
Republican or Democrat, should do all
in his power to discourage a revival
of these unpleasant disturbances"
The Philadelphia Record Oem) says:
Governor General Wood struck the nail
on the head when he said that the
sugar question resolves itself into a
question of the greatest good to the
greatest number. The welfare of the
1900, 900 inhabitants of Cuba is Deepen

meat and other edibles. Against these
millions of people there is arrayed a
small knot of manufacturers of beet
sugar, who from their own showing
would suffer no detriment even if the
entire tariff duty on that article should
be taken off. Under the circumstances,
what plausible reason can there be
given for refusing to comply with the
modest demand for the remission of so

onerous tax on the American people

A miracle is reported from Pitts
burg, Pa, by the pastor of a church
there. During the recent flood, he says,
the water rose four inches above the
floor of the church, as shown by
marks on the outside of the building,
and every other building on the same
level was flooded, but not drop of
water entered the church. In COM

ter preached a special sermon and en-

The Kentucky Legislature the other
day passed a bill prohibiting the

Beckham has vetoed it. He says the
bill was based on sentiment merely, as
