II might as well tell you, doctor. to

Yes, indeed. Fathers father died

The examiner did not look so grave
as he asked: Have you any brothers
or sisters?'
"One sister and two brothers" was
the answer. John went out into the
mining country when he was 72, got
into trouble there, called a drunken
man a liar and was shot. Henry was

young fellows that couldn't swim.

KILLED BY TIE MERGER.

A familiar acquaintance. the ship
! subsidy bill, was laid to rest on Mon
| day. 1t will not be resurrected during
! this Congress and the opinion is that
! nothing will~be heard of it in the next
! Congress. 1t appears to be as dead as
! door nail. OF course Senator Hanna
! and Senator Frye and some other SEN
ators are inconsoIable, but what can
they do about it? The people did not
look upon it with favor and therefore
it was proper that it should be given
it's quietus.
1t had been slumbering for a long
time In the House Committee on Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries. and would
have continued to slumber there if it
had not been for the opportunities of
Senator Hanna He insisted that the
committee should take vote on it.
He said that it was not courteous TO
him, after he had gone to the trouble
of having the Senate to pass it, to do
nothing with it in the House. His
friends in the House had not called it
up in the committee because they were
sure it would be beaten. But Senator
Hanna seemed to think that his pet
measure should not be dealt with as
if he were a senator of no influence,
and so a vote was taken. There were
ten members of the committee against
it and only six for it. That settled
it's fate.
1t seems to be admitted that it would
have stood a pretty good chance of be-
ing reported favorably if there had
been no merger of steamship lines. 1t
was that merger that gave it its death
blow. It's friends seemed to realize
that the House would never go on
record as favoring subsidies to such a
trust as the steamship combination
was believed to be. The fact is the
Republican party became afraid of it.
If passed it would have been a power
full weapon in the hands of the Demo-
Gratis, and doubtless it would have
been used with great effect by them.
It is probable that it will be a long
time before another ship subsidy bill
will be introduced into Congress. Mr.
Morgan ought to have waited until
Congress had acted upon the bill that
has just been killed before forming his
steamship trust. He was so Gag ar,
however, to get the trust in SHAPE that
he disregarded the subsidy scheme
Perhaps he thought that Congress
wouldn't regard his steamship combi-
nation as trust, and would pass the
bill anyway. If he had that idea he
has discovered his mistake.

And so ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Ha-
wall gets an appropriation of 5000, 900
in the sundry civil BILL after all of the
ridicule that has been poked at her and
her claims by the Republican newspa-
per press. We have no doubt that her
claims are based on Justice. and strong
ly suspect that If a full measure of
justice were given her she would re-
ceive a very much larger sum as recon-
pense to her for property confscated
by the Dole filibusters when they over
threw her government and seized her
kingdom. II has been the policy OF
the Republican papers to try to laugh
her out Of court because she is Of dark
skin and royal blood. and some years
ago IN her official capacity addressed
President Cleveland as MY Great and
Good Friend"

The annual roundup of the Maine
liquor dealers was begun few DAYS
ago ana is said to be progressing sat
isfactorily to the officials who collect
the fines. As is very we'll known.
Maine has very strict prohibition law
on her statute books. nevertheless sa-
looms flourish in about every Maine CITY
of any size, and everybody knows of
their operations. In Bangor a city
of less than half the population of Sa-
vannah, there are 200 saloons resu-
larly doing business. Last Thursday
complaints against Bangor's saloon
keepers were filed, and they at once
began appearing in court voluntarily
and pleading guilty to violating the
prohibition law and paying their fines.
The average fine amounts to $40. or
less than license tax would be. In
two days fines aggregating S1O,522 had
been collected. Having paid their fines.
the saloonkeepers return to their
places of business in the full assurance
that they will not be molested again
for twelve months. Isn't a local op-
ton license law much better than that
sort Of thing?

The old Hall of Records in New York
city is being torn down to make room
for bigger and better building. The
building was originally the debtors
gaol," and was used as such until after
the declaration of independence and
the battle of Long Island, when the
British converted it into a prison for
ago workmen dug into the cell under
ground in which Ethan Allen was con-
fined. Not in LAT years had sunlight
touched the cell. The old Jail, accord
ing to records that have been pre-
served, was capable of holding SIC
prisoners, but the British crowded
nearly 1000 patriots into it.

The segregation of the sexes in the
University of Chicago is said to have
resulted in more flirting there than
ever before. As long as the boys had
the companionship of the "co-eds" in
their classes they seemed to be fair
ly well content, but when the girls
were taken away. the boys fell to
flirting with the pretty typewriters in
the various executive Offices of the
establishment and they are said to
have received so many answering
smiles in return that work both in
the class rooms and the offices was
sadly neglected. 1t is probable that
the old order Of mixed classes will be
restored

The court at Columbus, o., the other
DAY issued an injunction against
Brother Isaac Tenant of Mount Gilead
church to restrain him from worship
ing in loud and unseemly manner. 1t
seems that it was the custom of Broth
er Tenant to INTERCEPT "Amen!" in a
thunderous tone and at short inter-
walls into the prayers of the other
brethren. His ''amens" became so
frequent and so loud that they grew
annoying. He refused to stop them,
so the trustees of the church went to
the court and got an injunction.
