Protest Against Prosy Utterers Of
Dreary Commonplace.

Those who impute to us a national
lack Of patience and %politeness must
admit that there are occasions upon
which we deserve a long mark for self
restraint and kindly consideration OF
the feelings Of our tormentors. I'm
doubtedly altruism Is one of the finest
jewels in the moral crown, but it has
its limits, and at the close of a sea-
son that has abounded in lectures and
debates it seems a fitting time to pro
test against their being stretched be.

downright bores in the shape of chair.
men and speakers, who vocally amble
on and on while their audiences, how
aver they may chafe inwardly at the
waste of time and mental irritation,
begotten Of a dreary rehearsing of
commonplaces, sit as patiently as
dumb puppets.
In private their victims discuss the
advisability Of a stiff civil service
course for chairmen who apparently
are of the firm conviction that they
are expected to make the longest ad-
dresses of the occasion over which
they preside. and certainly they as
well as other speakers frequently

GOOD FORTUNE CAME TOO LATE.
Lifelong Unfortunate Killed Himself

The Types Of Cats.

There are a number of classes Of
Persian cats, the division between
them being purely arbitrary n based
on the color of the fur. The most
beautiful of all the Persians Is the
pure white. They are, however, very
hard to keep clean, and a dirty white
cat is certainly anything but an orna-
ment about ones rooms. 1t is unfor-
tunate that many white cats are deaf.
so when one is making a purchase of
a cat that color it is a wise precau-
ton to test the hearing. Another fail
ing which white cats have, in common
with all light colored cats. is that their
constitutions are not so vigorous as
those of the dark haired cats.-Su-
burban Life.

Last No.. >nts Of Great Musician.

A letter written by Count Grey
mala, who was an ardent admirer OF
Chopin, has been made public in Lon
don by Eduard %Zeldenrust. In it the
last moments of Chopin are thus re-
ferred to: "A few hours before he
died he asked Nine. Potocka to sing
some melodies by Rossini and Bellini,
and this she did with sobs In her
voice. Listening to her voice he
passed away" Speaking of the fu-
neral the writer says: 'Mozart's re-
QUEEN and his own funeral march
were performed with the assistance of
Lablache, Viardot and the concert So
ciety. 1t was characteristic of the
times hat the artists should have
asked 1000 francs for this last trib-
ute to Chopin. One would have
thought that pride would have kept
Them from selling their gifts on such
an occasion"

A WORD OF
Chautauous Tickets are Now $3.50
They VIII Cost $500 Chau-
tauoua Week.

Prospective purchasers OF season
tickets to the Chautauqua which
opens week after next, should ex-
ercise much caution and get in on
the ground floor at the $3.50 rate.
The Redpsth System sells no sea-
son tickets under the inveriable
price OF 50 90. Such tickets as
were placed here are with local
parties, aud as only a limited num-
Der of them were printed and dis.
posed of to home boosters and
agents, the supply of the special
priced tickets is likely to fall con-
siderably short of the demand.
When the rush begins, such as re-
main will be closed out, and as the
ticket sellers are under rigid in
structions to sell none at less than
the regular price OF $500, some
one is going to get left, and it is
the part of wisdom to get tickets
of the home boosters who have
them for sale and get them at once
Reports from Cedar Rapids, La
Crosse, West Liberty, Winona,
Dubuque and Eau Glare, where
Redpath Chautauquas have been
in operation, are highly encourag-
ing and laudstory of the programs
and indeed, of all connected with
the Chautaugua. The programs
are the same as scheduled for this
city, with Improvements as the
season advances. A glance at the
program will satisfy as to it's mer-
it and high class OF the many at
fractions, to be offered during the
six days, beginning n week from
next Tuesday. But get your tick
cts at $3.50, while you can, and
buy them of home people who are
behind the Chautauqua and have
tickets to dispose of.
Both the big daily papers of Ce-
dar Rapids gave the Cedar Rapids
Chautauqua assembly the highest
praise, and this note of commend
alton is sounded in every one OF
the newspapers of the cities where
the Redpath Chautauquas are in
progress.

Northumberland st, ANTHONY.

Who knows what is chance? A golf
err told me lately that he was playing
In Spain with a young Catholic stu
dent of divinity, who hit his ball into
a forest of thistles. He sought for 1t
sorrowfully, for golf ballsa are ex-
pensive in Spain. At last the player
bethought him Of st. Anthony Of
Padua, that great finder of things lost.
On his watch chain the young man
wore a bronze cross dedicated to st.
Anthony, or mixed up with him some
how. Detaching the cross he threw it
high into the jungle Of thistles; while
my friend marked where it fell, went
up to it, and found the lost ball lying
within a few inches Of the bronze
cross.

BLAKE MAY MAKE
CONFESSION SOON
His Sentence Deferred While He
Confers With Special
Agent Burns

With the time for sentence of E. A. S.
Blake, convicted jury hxer for Abe
Ruef. set over until Monday next; with
Special Agent William j. Burns in con-
ference with Blake. and with Blake's
attorney, William Schooler. In confer
ence with District Attorney Langdon,
the signs seemed propitious yesterday
for new sensation In the graft cases.
Blake's codefendants, Frank j. Muir,
ply and A. s. Newburgh, who must en-
ter their pleas before Judge Murasky
this morning. spent the day in solemn
meditation. The defendants present a
wavering triangle. each of the three
points nervously watching the other
two corners and ready to break at the
f1rst sign of confession. which is ex-
pected from Blake or his codefendants
The Blake postponement was made at
the request of his attorney. Schooler.
The case was called before Judge
Dunno yesterday. Blake entered the
courtroom with Schooler and Burns i'm
mediately approached him and engaged
him in conversation, SchooIer standing
idly by. When District Attorney Lang
don entered the courtroom he and
Schooler conferred.
When the Blake case was called on
the calendar Schooler said that his
associate counsel, Carl Lindsey, was out
of town and on that account asked a
continuance until a later date
Langdon had no objection to make in
the matter and the court set the time
for next Monday morning.
During the afternoon Burns and
Blake We're together and Schooler was
conspicuous about the Grant building.
Newburgh is the next of the alleged
jury hxers to be brought to trial. If
the pleas are entered before Judge
Murasky this morning Newburgh's trial
will be set for next week and then evil
.dence against him will be presented If
he does not confess in the meantime.
