PHIL sHERIDAN's PARENTS.
TOW They Received the News of Their Sons Vic
tory in the Shenandoah Valley

! One OF the sweetest and most pathetic war sto-
RES Is about the Sheridans, father and mother of
general Sheridan The old people were living at
Somerset, o., when word came that General Sher
ldan had suffered great defeat in the Shenandoah
valley, says the Youths Companion. They slept
none that night, but in the morning the father
said:
Mother, l have thought it al out. Phil wasn't
there when the fight began. That is what the paper
said. 1t would not be like our boy to remain away
throughout the battle. As | make it out, Phil re-
turned in time to the day. I'll go to the store
and wait until the paper comes, get the news, and
hurry back l don't belize there's anything to wor-
~ about"
Il hope you are right father but I'm afraid
yesterdays news was correct. Phil has had so
much good luck, I'm afraid he's had bad luck in
this battle"
Old Mr.. Sheridan was sitting on the steps in
front of the store when rode up and called
out, Good news from Sherdan" Then one of the
bystanders caught up the morning paper and read
the account of Sheridan's return to the army of his
turning the tide, of the presidents message Of
thanks, of Sheridan's heroic conduct and the
plete rout of the enemy. The paper said it was
one of the greatest victories of the war.
That was enough for Mr.. Sheridan. He started
trot to tell Mrs. Sheridan the news about her
sons greatest battle She saw him coming, and
Creek.
GLORY to God mother. glory to God! Phil
licked emil The president has sent him the
trys thanks. and the paper saws it was one Of the
greatest fights of the war. l knew Phil would get
back IL time to save the day
The old couple Rugged and kissed, and kissed
and Rugged again and again. After rney had gone
into the house, the old lady suddenly became very
sober.
whats the matter mother!"
Father, did the paper say anything about
Johnl'
mo, but you know Phil would have sent dis
patch if anything had happened to John
John was another son, a private in Sheridan's
army in the valley

Angels That Bit.

A little Price Hill tot of three years was put to
bed, her first night in New Jersey by her mother,
with the words. 'Now go to sleep, darling and re
member the angels are flying about your little crib
and keeping you from harm"
A few minutes later the patter of little feet was
heard and little white-robed figure emerged from
the bedroom.
'Why, darling, what's the natter" asked the
mother.
Il don't like the angels sobbed the little girl
''Why, dearie, why not"

BURNING OF THE EARTH.
Said That Collision with Nearest
Fixed Star May Be Source
Of Fire.

II the earth is to be destroyed by fire,
as predicted in the Second Epistle of st,
Peter, what is to cause the fire? DR.. ],
e. Gore, the British astronomer, finds
that no outburst Of the sun from inter.
nal activity is likely to be sufficient, and
it is to heat from collision that we must
look. To collide with the nearest fixed
star the sun must travel at Its present
rate for $4,000 years. The sun is speed
ing II miles per second toward Vega
alpha Lyrae), and it is possible that
one of the dark bodies of space may ap-
proach from that direction, or even now
be on the way. DR.. Gore calculates that
such a body having the suns mass and
earth's density would shine by the suns
light as ninth magnitude star on
reaching distance Of 100000, 600
miles. Moving at the suns velocity,
with gradual acceleration, it would ap.
proach to 5000, 0OO, 900 miles in ten years.
when it would fash into naked eye view
as new star" of fifth magnitude. In
four years more 1t would be as near as
Uranus. in another year as near as Jupi-
ter, and far outshining both Jupiter and
Venus Then the earth's distance
would be reached in 81 days, and the sun
in eight days more, the speed having in.
creased to 400 miles per second. The
collision would be a colossal st. Pierre.
Both sun and colliding body would be
vaporized within an hour, and the stu,
pendous heat would destroy most Of the
planets. II direct course were kept,
the strange body would not strike any
planet. But the body might be smaller;
and, II Of the earth's size, would come
nearer than Uranus before detection,
giving only few months warning Of
disaster.

DISSERTATION ON OLIVES.
Hard to Tell How the Inventor
Ever Got His Fruit on the
n Market.

u
The olive is a bottled fruit serving
az an object lesson Of the fact that ap-
pearances are deceitful, says the Detroit
Free Press. What is more luscious
looking than the green olive of COM
merce, and what is more disagreeabla
than the first bite? Historians tell US
that the taste for olives must be culti-
waited, but anyone who wishes to treat
his palate in that rough and brutal
manner is at liberty to do so.
Having tasted an olive one cannot but
wonder how the inventor ever got his
fruit on the market. 1t is easy enough
to understand how ice cream and short
cake became popular, but 1t is difficult 10
comprehend the reason for the success
Of the olive. Cultivating a taste for the
olive is about as pleasing as accustom-
ing ones palate to quinine or bitter
aloes. Possibly It can be done IL one haa
mo regard for the palate.
Having taken six lessons In the art
Of cultivating an olive taste am pre-.
pared to say that | am no nearer the
mark than when I began. / am not
success as an olive eater. The vagaries
Of the juicy dill pickle. the bite Of the
horseradish, the snap Of the chill sauce
and the surprising humor OF the tobasco
sauce have no terrors for me. but that
indescrIbable flavor about the olive
seems too much. | should really like
olives II they tasted like anything else
but olives, mother words olives would
be frstrrate but Tor the taste.

Comfy Among the States.

COincident With, and perhaps a
reactionary growth of, the altered
view Of the relations OF the feder.

states Of the Union, is an unpleas-

seperate states toward each other.
In place Of the courtesy and conf

life Of the republic, whore one

deavor to be helpful and Of use to

not an active hostility, an in
difference to the wishes Of other
states, an eagerness by one state
to do that in another state which
is forbidden by it's laws, and a dis
regard to it's welfare, even to the
extent OF making money out Of it's
misiortunes.

COOLIES z, ON THE RAND.
Chinese Prisoners 0verrunning the
British Colony Cause Reign
Of Terror.

"The Chinese are everywhere, {" writes
an observer In South Africa. you see
them in the streets Of the towns, on the
platforms of the railway stations, or
about the Rand, There are now nearly
10000 Of them scattered up and down
a slice Of country about 40 miles in
length. Some are working in mines
which are practically in johannesburg
Itself. One morning was walking
down Commissioner street, when l
came across 80 Of them at work dig
ging out the foundations Of new
hotel. They were prisoners serving
terms of hard labor, and were leased
out to the contractor at one shilling
head day And they were employed
in the very center of johannesburg.
Out at Knights / saw huge camp
where 1,4O0 more Chinese prisoners
are at work making deviation Of the
railway line from Germiston to Boks-
burg
These sweepings of the Chinese
prisons, who are now overrunning q
British colony, are not content with
mere robbery. They do that as q
matter of course. What those isolated
farms and lonely stores dread Is the
cry OF lisa, tsa!'-Kill, kill!'-from
the yellow flends who roam over the
veldt. People in the country dare
scarcely go to bed at night. They
gather at each others houses for pro-
lection and companionship.
what wonder is it that terror
reigns on the veldt, or that the coun-
try people are now all armed, and
shoot first, when they see a Chinaman
at night?" The same writer adds that
these circumstances are hidden care
fully the outside world. The white
men Of South Africa-with the excep-
ton Of the mine OWNERSHIP says, are
satisfied that the introduction Of coolie
labor was mistake.

ates a corporation to violate the
economic laws OF another state,

one state granting a divorce to
sham citizen for a cause which
occurred outside Of its territorial

is not ground for divorce In the
state where the alleged cause Of
divorce occurred.

That this last outrage has been
permitted is one of the saddest
evidences OF the attenuated feeling
between the states, and Of the ut
ter oblivion Of the sacrifices and
concessions that each made to the
other for the sake Of creating
what has hitherto been properly
known as the "Blessed Union"

it is not just to violate the laws

to iDiure her even to make q little

No better start could be made
in this direction than action by

Washington, June 6.-The anti-pass
provision of the railroad alta bill was
the subject Of animated discussion and
denunciation at the meeting today Of
the association of railway special
agents Of the United States and Can
ada. President w. G.. Baldwin, OF
Roanoke, Va, started the attacks by
suggesting % the delegates the ap-
pointment Of a committee 6 call upon
senator's and representatives and urge
the elimination from the bill Of the
Objectionable clause.
His remarks were followed BY the
presentation of a resolution by w. J.

railroad, authorizing the president Of
the association 10 appoint a commit
tee Of five TO take the necessary action
in that direction
The proposition to III OFF passes 70
railroad employees and their families
was generally denounced, the concen-
II OF opinion being that the members
Of the association were peculiarly az
fected by that provision of the bill.

road company represented at the meet
ing in favor of the Objectionable pro
