Kansas has fifteen cities with orer 5,000 inbabitanta,caeh of which expects to surpass Chicago within the next ninety days or so. The administration seems to be afraid of Johnny Ball's pet lion, therefore instead of availing themselves of the provisions of the retaliation bill it seems to be trying to find some way to apologize to England for its passage. Hon. John C. New is quoted as saying in an interview with a newspaper reporter at Chicago, one

dar lately : "The Republicans of

Indiana are in favor of ex-Senator Harrison for the Presidential nomination. Next to Senator Harrison the Indianians would rapport Senator Sherman.

It fs sometimes said that women must not vote, because in that case they might be elected to office, and if the mother of a young family should go to Congress, what would become of the children? It does not seem to occur to these objectors that only one person in a thousand can go to Congress in any case, and that no one is obliged to so unless

be chooses. The mother of a young

family would not be likely to run for Congress, and would not be

ikelv to consent if she were asked.

But she might have a very definite idea as to the sort of man she want

ed to send to Conrgress as her rep

resentative, to make laws tor bcr

and her children. A good many

profligate and drunken Congressmen would be weeded out if the mothers in tbeir districts had votes.

Princeton Clarion : Jack Howard was white washed by the Clark county grand jury. Bat little respect is doe a law that has meshes in its drag net that allows big thieves, like Howard, to go free while little thieves are punished to to the fullest extent.

In Trenton, New Jersey, the Democratic candidate for Mayor refused to attend a meeting held in the city a tew days before the election to resolute against coercion in Ireland. The result was his defeat,

the Irish as a mass voting for the

Republican candidate. This is the first instance that a Republican has

been elected in I ronton for over

twenty-five years.

Sunt. Hazel. The roll was called and the

Things are getting a little too

realistic at some of the theaters. The venerable chestnut ol produc

ing the alleged imitation or toon

der by rattling a piece of sheet iron in the wings is happily passing

away. Bot it will not do to make a practice of carrying out the storm program of the theater at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England. Carl Kosa's troupe was recently perform

ing there the opera of riordisa

During the storm scene the thunder

was magnificently produced by rol

ling heavy cannon balls along gut

ters lined with sonorous metal. A vivid flash of lightning was followed by a loud roar, and one of the persona en the darkened stage let!

to the floor. The audience applaud

ed, supposing this to be a part of

the play, and that the person had feigned' to be struck by the mimic

lightning. Immediately afterward, however, it was discovered that one

of the cannon balls bad left the

gutter, twenty feet above the stage, along which it was .rolling, and

had fallen upon the bead of the

stage carpenter and killed him

One may conceive the horror of the spectators when they learned that

the imitation of thunder and light

ning had proved as fatal to a hu

man being as if a bolt had

hunched at him from the skies.

A correspondent has been suc

cessful in catching rats with a trap of his own contrivance. This trap consists of a sheet-iron pipe, with a

sort of rim oa beta ends and

strong two-bushel sack tied around

one end. Every hole is stopped carefully in the corn crib but one,

which opens into a feed-box on the

other side of the partition. Then

the pipe is placed in the feed-box

and fitted, the open end firmly over the hole, allowing the seek to hang

over the edge of the box into the manger. The trap is prepared, the

door of tne crib is left open and the rats permitted to have tbeir own

way for an - hour or so. Then the

door is shut and a noise made to

frighten the rats. Having bnt one means of escape, they rush into the pipe and down into the sack. This correspondent caught twenty-seven

rata tho first time be tried bis trap.
