THE SIGHT OF HOME.
PATRIOTIC EMULATION FELT BY
RETURNED WANDERERS.
Cases Where Usually StoIid and IN
demonstrative Men Have Been Re.
duced to Verge Of Hysteria After
Years Of Homesiekness Abroad.

The traveller in far countries does
not need to have been absent from
his native land many months, or IN
uncivilized regions, to experience on
his return a patriotic exultation OF the
heart, frequently accompanied by a
lump in the throat, which often sur
prises him. To what heights the same
emotion may rise in wanderers return
ed from savage countries after years
OF inconsistencies two little incidents
may prove.
An Englishman-a stolid, typical
Briton, usually one of the most un
demonstrative of men-received a
years leave of absence from his for
lorn and fever-stricken post in the Al
rican wilderness, after having lived
there seven years. When he landed
on the wharf at Liverpool, his eyes
CHANGED to light first of all upon a
postman in uniform.
Instantly he few at and frantically
embraced the alarmed and indignant
official. who struggled a moment vain
ly in his grasp and then let out :usty
yell for help.
A policeman came running to the
spot.
les lunatic!" gasped the post
man. "'E's tryin to kiss me! Take
i'm on"
The policeman tried. But no sooner
had he laid hands on the historical
homecomer than the captive suddenly
released the postman, flung both arms
round his captor's neck and wept up
on his shoulder, at the same time
choking him violently. When the Of
ficer had eXtricated himself, he natu.
rally invited the perpetrator of this
affectlonate assault to accompany him
10 the police station.
police station-penitentiar
um! Whichever you pleased" cried
the prisoner. ecstatically. They're all
of them civilized, and they're none OF
them Africa"
An American returning not long ago
to his native land after an absence
nearly as long and quite as homesick
behaved very differently.
He appeared, indeed, quite com
posed and calm, but was, in fact, in a
kind of rapturous daze in which moth
ing seemed real to him. but rather a
happy dream which must presently be
dispelled. Only when his carriage was
halted in blockade, not far from the
wharf and opposite vacant lot where
n crowd of young men were playing
ball was he at last awakened to reali-
ties. Then foul ball crashed through
the carriage window, showered him
with broken glass. and struck him an
agonizing blow on the elbow. One OF
the players came running to see what
injury had been done.
Are you hurt?" he asked, anxiously,
looking in upon "A figure still curled
up and rocking with pain, while two
or three threads of blood trickled
down its countenance.
Hurt" exclaimed the victim. yes,
thank heaven! That was a baseball
and this is America. "-Youths Com

Avon Was Hard to Represent.

Some years ago w. l.. Wilson, ma.
tive of Avon, Conn, was elected to
represent his town in the state legis-
lature.
Avon, being at the head of the list
of towns alphabetically, was always
called first when yea and nay vote
was taken, and consequently Mr. vii.
son, as its representative. was obliged
TO go on record first. OF this fact he
used TO complain bitterly. saying:
Avon is the hardest town in the state
to represent, because you never can
tell which way the majority is going
to vote"

men and wounded 10 others Monday
afternoon, ended today when a man
for whom search was being made. vas
reported to be at his home in Worces-

gang of laborers which had been at
work in the building and the scene of

Judge Eingsbury of the local district
court will receive firm Medical Exam
liner Palmer tomorrow a report on the
collapse of the building and the cause
OF death to Il of it's inmates. and it is
considered probable that the judge will
order an inquest.
The condition of Chester Nicholson. n
carpenter who was injured in the. colI,pse

AS a part Of the investigation into the
cause of the buildings collapse. several
concrete blocks of the type that Were
used in the construction of the building
were tested today in the United States

was considered of interest in view of the
belief that the accident might have been
due to moisture weakening the concrete

LANGUAGE is MODIFIED.
Final Draft on Eight hour Law Reads
Different from First.

Washington. July 2G.-The final draft
as i5sued to the service by the order Of
Prigader General Crozier, chief Of ord
nance, relative to the enforcement Of
the %-hour law in the ease of contrac-
tors. shows an important modification
in enc point as compared with the
draft originally prepared and made
public a few days ago. In the first draft
the secretary Of war is said to have de-
cided that it was the duty of ordnance
officers to prevent the violation of the
S-hour law Notwithstanding the opin-
ion of the attorney general published
in General Orders No. 81 of 1892"
In fact it appears that there is rea-
son to doubt whether that opinion war
ranted the construction placed upon it,
50 on that point the modified order now
reads Notwithstanding the previous
Interpretation of their duty in this re-
gard
Acting Secretary Oliver has called
upon the attorney general for the con-
struction of the law so far as it relates
to government contractors.
