 Much of MT. Hanford's artistic success and stage poularity are due to the work of his co-star, Miss Ma rie Drofnah, in private life Mrs. Charles B.

Edison in the Terrified Cave

Thomas A. Edison. with party of friends, was going through one of the great Kentucky caves. and the guide was extremely anxious to explain everything to the distin- @uished guest.
 When the party reached the 'petrifed room. the guide said
 That rock you seq there hanging in the air started to fall but it never reached the ground and remained petrified suspended in the air. .
 Yes, but" began MT. Edison.
 And you see that bird there, '' continued the guide; the bird flew Tn here one day and stopped right there petrified
 "But. my friend" interrupted the great inventor, the bird and stone would have to fall to the ground by the very law of gravitation.
 For moment the guide was non plussed. Quickly rallying, how ever, he said to MT. Edison: "But you don't understand, Mir. Edison, in this cave the law of gravitation is petrified also

school, but man is helpless in the tolls of fate, and so it came that Hanford was drafted from the elu- citations of the recondite principles of Coke ors Littleton and set to the interpretations of the eXhaustless fancies and multitudinous philoso- phies of Shakespeare. Before that however, he was secretary to Hor- ace r. Page, long a leading member of congress from California and a pillar of the movement to give Gen. Grant a third nomination in 1880. In Washington young Hanford saw much of official and political life and for time he was a clerk in one of the departments.
 It was not until 1882, at the age of twenty-three, that Mr. Hanford entered upon his professional ca reer that has proved so successful and made him a favarite in every city and town of the Union. It was at New London, Conn, that he first appeared on the professional stage in the company of that excel lent actor. William Stafford then starring in 2hai;espearian plays. That season the young actor gave the promise Of the excellence he la ter attained-the bloom was re- deemed by the fruit-and the fol- lowing season he joined the compa- of Thomas ".

NEARING END
Legislature Hoped 10 Adjourn This Week-HOuse AdiournS
 For Want of Quorum
BUSINESS IS WAITING

Hartford, June 10.-The general assembly to-day entered upon what was looked forward to three weeks ago as the last week of its session, but the amount of unfinished busi- ness, the overloaded condition of the foot of both the house and senate calendars, seems to make certain the general prediction that July 1st will have come before propagation is possible. At the same time a five days session this week may result in general clearance of legislative matters and the reporting quickly Of many measures which are still in the hands of the committees. By con- current resolution business is sup posed to be finished on Friday next.
 The house adjourned until to-mor- row for lack of a quorum. In the senate the committee on appropria- tions reported on large number of bills.
 The committee on roads and bridges reported favorably on the bill to take over the bridge between Old Lyme and Old Saybrook, at a nominal rental of S1 a year, from the N. r., N. H. and H. road, for a period of ninety-nine years. The bill provides for an appropriation of $100,000 for Improvements and $l0,000 year for maintenance.

INCREASING LENGTH OF LIFE.
What Medical Science Has Done for
 the Human Race.

Reviewing the progress of medi- cine during the nineteenth century, Dr. John 8. Billings. United States army, has shown that deaths of wom- en from childbirth decreased during that period from 10 to 20 in 1000 to 5 in 1000, and that from all causes the deaths in New York city fell from between 35 and 40 in 1000 to less than 20 in 1000. He recalls the fact that 100 years ago yellow fever was epidemic in New York and Philadel- phia for two years. For 30 years the disease has been almost unknown throughout the whole country; also that in 1900 the majority of persons one met were pitted with smallpox the survivors of much greater num- ber-while now there are physicians who have never seen a case of small pox; and that in the Napoleonic and revolutionary wars more died from disease than from wounds, while now hospital gangrene is unknown. Sta tistics show that In Chicago during the last 35 years the average age at death has increased from 12 to 32 years. '
 No one disputes these facts or at- tributes them to any cause other than medical science-the measures em- ployed partly in curing disease, but more especially in preventing its in troduction or its spread when once introduced.

Farmer Evened Up Accounts with

Young Stevenson was on his way north to spend the week end with his parents. and felt in particularly jov- ial mood. The train in which he was travelling had stopped at small viii lage. As a farmer who was sauntering up and down the platform came. .oppo- site stevens's compartment he was asked by the youth if he knew that the Duke of Devonshire was on the train. Immediately tbe man showed great in. terest. and said: No! Is he?" T think he is not" answered Stevens.

As he came opposite the win dow again he remarked that this town has been experiencing some excite ment. What is the mstter?" asked Stevens.

And then he strolled away. leaving young Stevens biting his lip.-Judge's Library.

PLAcATED mn. DAN SAMSON.
coIored Ministers "Retraction" a Trl'
 cmph of Ingenuity.

Tn Mississippi there was a colored preacher noted in those parts for the extreme frankness and candor of his exhortations to his wicked brethren to reform. On one occasion, relates Representative John Sharp Williams, the divine was holding forth on the sin of theft. Among other things he said: q see befo' me ten chicken thieves, includin' Dan Samson" This bald statement of fact rather aroused the resentment of the aforesaid Sam son, and he threatened the minister with personal violence. The latter's friends persuaded the divine to with draw the accusation if Samson would promise not to offer the minister any hurt. The question seemed about to be adjusted, 1t being settled that the clergyman should. on the following Sunday, publicly retract his statement as to the honesty of Mir. Samson. Therefore. rising in the pulpit on the day appointed, the minister said: Tt pears dat remark of mine, in de ser mon of last Sunday. has been de cause of offense, an I derefore amends it. What I should have said was dis: I see befo' me ten chicken thieves. not lncludin' Dan Samson '"-Harper's Weekly.
