Tis only the marble imaee of purity that is old.

Some are active because they fear to b<‘ thought idle.

Say as little as possible about that cf which you know nothing. A deaf man nearly always hears everything you don't want him to hear. It is always fair to suspect a man. not because he is wicked, but because he is a man.

It seems like rubbing it in when j Philadelphia refers to the passage of the tariff bill as ''slow.'' Gen. Weyler has asked for 40,000 more Spaniards for Cuba. Not being able to whip the insurgents, the great j general will resort to strategy and crowd them off the island.

“A Milwaukee alderman says he was offered a bribe of $300 for his vote. With the example of a brother aiderman in Chicago before him. that Milwaukee solon should begin right off to incriminate somebody besides himself. In the last year seventy-two persons | credited as New Yorkers disappeared. ! dropped out of sight more completely than if the ocean had swallowed them ; up; and this seventy-two does not in- I elude the real number of people swal- j lowed up by the sea of mystery. Only the humble seek police aid to search for lost ones. The dwellers behind the hrownstone, as a rule, swallow their grief in silence and seldom seek the aid of the police.

Militia and citizens of Calais, Maine, joined the people of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, which town is on the opposite side of the St. Croix river, in celebrating the queen's jubilee; where- [ upon the New Brunswick militiamen came over to Calais a few days later, and contributed noise, enthusiasm and | good will to the Fourth of July. “God Save the Queen ’ and “America”’ have different words, but such instances happily remind us that they go to the same tune.

’Vhe extent of the financial distress in Nicaragua must be considerable from the account rendered to the state department by Tnited States Consul Weisike at Managua. He says the government is trying in every way to pass safely through the present state of affairs by observing strict economy. Salaries have been lowered from the president of the republic down to the last employe, and a great many offices have been abolished. Coffee planters are confronting bankruptcy, and, to make matters worse, the foreign and native commercial houses, on whom the planters depend for advances, nave withdrawn their credits owing to heavy losses.

The London Economist has taken occasion to make some interesting investigations as to the extent of Uarnato’s operations and the losses which their declines represent. It, of course, takes no account of his early ventures in diamonds and diamond mines, which, indeed, were mainly conducted as private enterprises, and it should he noted that his remarkable success in this connection was what in all probability induced him to make dubious financial experiments with disastrous results, and at the same time gave the public an exaggerated opinion of his sagacity. Excluding, also, some minor corporations of the gold-mining or promoting class, the paper in question figures out that during the years in which he held his title of “King of the Kaffirs,” he floated companies of the kind just referred to with an aggregate capital of £7.803,000. or say $39,000,000.

AN EARLY LIQUOR LICENSE. The New Kent raining I.aw Was Indignantly Received. The famous "gin law,” passed in 17S6, is interesting as the earliest severe blow at liquor dealing among civilized nations, says the Popular Science Monthly. It levied a tax of 20 shillings a gallon on spirits and a license of £50 for any one selling or dealing in it. And, being in advance of public opinion, it failed much as oth^r, more stringent, prohibition laws have failed in our own day. For the cry was at once raised that it taxed the poor man's gin and let the rich man's wine go free. Every wit, every caricaturist, had his fling at it. Ballads were hawked round, telling of the approaching death of mother gin. The liquor shops were hung with black and celebrated uproariously Mmc. Geneva’s lying in state, her funeral, her wake and so on. The night before the law went into effect, so a contemporary journal says, there was a universal reve4 all over the country. Every one drank his fill and carried home as much gin, besides, as he could pay for. To evade the law, apothecaries sold it in vials and small packages, sometimes colored and disguised, generally under false labels, such as “Colic Water,” “Make Shift,” “I-adies' Delight.” There were printed directions on some of these packages—e. g„ "Take two or three spoonfuls three or four times a day, or as often as the fit takes you.” Informers were very prominent and exceedingly offensive, inventing snares to eatch lawbreakers for the sake of heavy rewards and spying and sneaking around in a way particularly distasteful to the English mind. In consequence they suffered in their turn. The mere cry, "liquor spy!” was enough to raise a mob in the Ixmdon streets and the informer was lucky if he escaped with a sound thrashing and a ducking in the Thames or the nearest horse pond. Indeed, such an outcry was made about the matter that the ministry became very unpopular and the law was not enforced after two or three years and was largely modified in 1743, aften seven years’ trial. POPULARITY OF CRICKET. Englishmen Play It from the ('rutile to the Grave. Of all the sports cultivated in England cricket has the fewest characteristic features at the public schools. This is not because it is the least popular of the sports, but because it is most popular, says Harper's Round Table. There is no cricket but cricket and all England is its prophet. It is played in fields and parks and byways. As you whiz through England on the hysterical little railway trains the wayside swarms with men, boys and children in white trousers. It is played in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the long summer evenings: it is often almost 10 o'clock before the stumps are draw. It is played from me cradle to the grave. Certainly the best and most popular player iu England to-day. Dr. W. G. Grace, has a son in the Cambridge eleven, and is a grandfather. And 11 is recorded that a famous cricketer once excused a younger brother's lack of skill by saying: “He never had a chance to learn the game. He was so ill that he couldn't begin playing until he was 6 years old.” If a boy isn't a past master at cricket before he goes to school there is little hope for him. How much most schoolboys do play cricket is evident in the time and space given to the game. At Eton, for instance, there are seven separate grounds, each with a name of its own. The most exalted of these Is Upper | Club, where the best twenty-two play- , ers in the school hold their matches, ; and the school eleven plays its homo games. Then there is a Middle Club, | a Lower Club, an Upper six-penny, a | Lower sixpenny, and a lot more. | Every "house,” in fact, has its eleven, and its separate field. In all, the Eton 1 cricket grounds cover forty-two acres and afford room for almost 500 boys to play cricket at one time.

After it was all over he went back into the star s dressing room. “I’ll tell you what it is,” he remarked, "your Deacon is a creation, Digby. It is, by Jove! In my opinion It ranks with—with—well, with Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle.” Bell was very much affected by these words of praise, and his eyes filled with tears as lie turned to the playwright. "Do you mean that, Gus?” he inquired, in a trembling voice. “No, I don't,” quickly responded Thomas, laying his hand on the actor’s shoulder, “I didn't mean it, old man. There, I hadn't any idea that it would hurt your feelings in that way.” Biff Hall, the Mirror's entertaining Chicago Gossip, tells this good one on that irrepressible wag, Maurice Barrymore: He had been playing a ten days' wine and spirit engagement with the rotund Duncan B. Harrison, and he persuaded the latter to go to Long Branch with him for the purpose of “rounding to.” As they walked up the Long Branch street, both looking pretty seedy, Mrs. Barrymore spoke from an upper window, saying: “Ah,

Miss Myra Morelia, a Detroit girl, has completely captivated San Francisco opera-loving people. She is prima donna soprano at the Tivoli opera house, a theater that has been devoted to opera for eighteen years, and has with her beautiful voice and extraordinary versatility established herself a prime favorite. Many Detroiters doubtless remember Miss Morelia as a chureh and concert singer before she made her debut with Emma Abbott. Judging from the advancement Miss Morelia has made since she was last seen In San Francisco with the “Poor Jonathan” company in 1892, she will eventually take her place among the best operatic artists of America. I assure you it is a pleasure to the Detroitborn people of San Francisco to see one of r.ur daughters winning brilliant success.” William Harris, in one of his anticipatory moments, said that at the present rate of naming plays what with “The Wrong Mr. Wright,” “What Happened to Jones,” “The Good Mr. Best." and other titles of that ilk the public must not be surprised to soon hear of “The Swell Mrs. Fitsalob,” “The Silent Mr. Cornet,” “The Bad Mr. Worse,” '^1’he Gray Mr. Black,” "The Tough Mr. Swell,” “The Bald Herr Restorer,” “The Soiled Mr. Neat,” ' The Fat Mr. Lean. i'he Small Mr. Tali,” "The Wide Mr. Narrow,” “The Sober Mr. Booze," "The Talkative Mr. Mumm,” “The Sharp Mr. Flat," “The Foolish Mr. Smart,” “The Fly Mr. Bee," "The Warm Mr. Cool,” and so on. Here is a hint to ambitious authors. Last month Mr.Whiteside signed contracts by which he secures the sole American and Canadian rights for the presentation of Espy Williams' dramatization of "The Mau in Black,” by Stanley Weyman, the author of Frohtnan’s Empire success, “Under the Red Kobe,” and other well known and exciting romances. The play will be given the advantage of correct scenic surroundings and a strong cast. Mr. Whiteside will he seen in the character of Solomon Notredame.

The question whether a married woman living in one state can hold bank stock in another state was derided in the affirmative by the Maryland Court of Appeals iu the ease of Kerr, Receiver, vs. Urie. The court in rendering judgment said: The question presented is whether a married woman residing in this state is capable of holding stock in a national bank located and doing business in the state of Texas, and, if so, whether she is liable as such stockholder under the personal liability provisions of section 5,152 of the Revised Statutes of the United States. Whatever difficulty may surround this question, arises, we think, more from the manner in which it is presented in this cakfc than from any other cause, for it can hardly be supposed that at this day, when, by the law of most all the states, a married woman nray contract as a feme sole in respect to her separate estate, she is without power to subscribe for or be- < ome the transferrer of the stock of a national hank.

EuRonle at Athena. The St. Janies Budget reports a pathetic incident in connection with the recent visit of the Empress Eugenio to i Athens. When she was leaving the hotel in order to return to her yacht ; some Frenchmen belonging to the PhllHellenic legion who had assembled outside, uncovered respectfully, and one cf their number, advancing a few paces, said to her majesty: "Madam, wo come from a war which has proved as unfortunate as yours.” The empress, who appeared much moved, stopped and caused some money to be distributed among her distressed countrymen. It is thirty years since her previous visit to Athens. The Siamese Army. An English newspaper, In an article on the Siamese army, says: “In one respect the Siamese army is superior to any other, and that Is in its elephant corps. Eight hundred of these animals, which are stronger, theugh smaller, than those of India, are organized Into a special corps, commanded by a retired Anglo-Indian officer, and their heads, trunks and other vulnerable parts are protected against bullets by India rubber armor.”

Mr. Barrymore! Brought your ‘squarer’ with you, have you?” and “Barry” replied, "No, my dear, not squarer— rounder.” A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times makes this contribution to the literature of marital troubles of stage folk: I was once a witness—and very reluctantly a witness—in a divorce case between two well-known Thespians. Each charged the other with the gravest violation of the marital compact possible, and each charge was proved over and over again. The judge in deciding the case said: "Of course I'll divorce these people, and I'm only sorry I can’t send each of them to the penitentiary.” I thought then as violating the fourth commandant is a -p up

The famous Hatfleld-McCoy feud is recalled again by the escape of "Cap" Hatfield from jail.

It costs the United States $120 annually to support each of its heathen Sioux, and less than $8 for each of its Christian Sioux. Comment is superfluous.

I 'i'he testimony in the divorce trial ! would have convicted them, and a term In prison might have proved a good warning to others. But. what a lot of vacancies there would be in the ranks of the comic opera profession if such trials became frequent.

Mason Mitchell, who will manage Mr. Whiteside's affairs this season, has arranged with Joseph Physioc for tlie painting of the scenery for "The Merchant of Venice,” of which play Mr. Whiteside will make a complete production. Soon aflcr the news reached us that Roberto Stagno, the famous Italian singer, was dead there came the report. which seemed well grounded, that Gemma Bellincionl, whose life as well as her artistic career had been for years bound up in that of the dead tenor, had declared that she should never appear in public again. Should this prove true it will surprise none of those who know how devotedly attached the Italian Patti was to her lover, and how inconsolable such a temperament as hers must be at such a loss. In Italy Stagno was always looked on as a great man; in Spain, in Russia, and in South America he made great sums of money. He was probably one of the richest of Italian artists. He was a great friend to the composers of young Italy, and he numbered among his friends several crowned heads. At Florence he had a beautiful home, palatial in its extent and in its conduct, although of late years he has spemt much of his time at Bellincioni’s estate in Leghorn. In Italy Gemma Bellineioni is considered as great in her art of singing as Patti, and as great in the art of acting as Duse, while Stagno was thought never to have had a rival as Almavlva In ”11 Nozze di Figaro," as Rolxato in "Roberto II Diavolo,” and to have been equally successful in purely lyric roles like Manrlco in "II Trovatore” and Tur.ddu in “Cavalleria Rusticana.” Yet, oddly enough, neither of these artists ever made any great Anglo-Saxon success. Richard Mansfield's autobiography, which is among the probabilities,should he the unique publication of the generation.

ANY 1 feuds have been pacified by the shedding of blood and the extermination of families. That curious trait of intense loyalty to blood kinship which has characterized many families of the South was exemplified in

a certain family war in Edgefield county. South Carolina. Of one family there is not one left to hear the name. It was a hate to the death. It lasted through two generations and has furnished material for many romances and

stories.

In 1845 one Joe Glover lived near the village of Edgefield. Glover was an enormous fellow and a bully who boasted of his abilily to whip any man in the county. He was a dissipated man, whose reputation was not improved by his swaggering and conceited manner. Although wealthy, his attentions to members of the opposite sex were not encouraged. One of the planters of the neighborhood, Lovett Gourillion, had a pretty sister, Mary. Glover began to ply his dreaded attentions to the girl, who was glad to take refuge behind her brother's protection, and refused to see the man. Gourillion forbade Glover to enter his house; the latter was furious and published a threat to whip Gourillion at their next

meeting.

Gourillion declined to avoid meeting Glover, and they met at a barbecue shortly after the threat. They fought, and Gourillion worsted the bully, who bellowed that they would meet at Edgefield Court House the next Salesday. This meant a duel. or. more properly speaking, a fight with firearms without rules. When the two men saw each other in the Court House square on the day appointed they drew their pistols and fired, but neither bullet took effect. Under the impression that his enemy was unarmed, the bully, Glover, rushed upon Gourillion with a vicious-looking knife in his hand. Death was to be the portion of Mary Gourillion’s brother. But Gourillion was prepared. He pulled another pistol from his pocket, took deliberate aim and shot Glover through the heart. The man leaped into the air and fell upon his face dead. He had paid the penalty of his folly. Gourillion was arrested, but at the trial he was cleared. His sister afterward married a prosperous merchant and removed to another state. Lovett Gourillion became the prey of remorse, and took to hard drinking. He often complained that Glover’s ghost glared at him from the lied whenever he turned back the covers. Years afterwards, in 1871, Eli Gourillion, the only son of Lovett Gourillion, met Glover's nephew, a young man named Posey, at a party. The two families had kept up a feeling of hostility through all these years, and the subdued hate now broke out violently. The two men quarreled, and Gourillion shot Posey. The young man left home and remained away for two years. When he returned he was told that his father and Orville Glover, a nephew of Joe Glover, hail recently quarreled, and Glover had insulted his father. The old gentleman had struck Glover in the face in response to the foul epithet, and Glover had not resented the blow. Eli Gourillion declared that he would kill the man who would say such a thing of his father. Glover understood this as a threat against his life, and armed himself. A few days later EH Gourillion and his father rode into town to attend court. Eli went into a saloon not far from the Court House, and as he left the place Glover, who had concealed himself near by, filled his back with buckshot. Y'oung Gourillion fell dead, within four feet of where Joe Glover had fallen with the knife in his hand. Lovett Gourillion, the father, heard the firing and ran to the spot, with ills hands held above his head, to show that he was not armed. Glover was like an enraged animal, however, and emptied the contents of the other barrel of his gun into the old man's body; when he fell, the

A few months after this double killing Orville Glover s son-in-law shot Doctor Bland, formerly surgeon of the Palmetto regiment in the Mexican war, and a connection of the Gourillion family. Mary Gourillion. a daughter of Lovett Gourillion, had married Mark Toney of the Edgefield neighborhood. Ui 1878 Mark Toney and his brother. Brookes, met two brothers named Booth, and cousins of the Glovers, in

the streets of the town. There was a political meeting in Edgefield, and Governor Hampton was addressing the crowd. The four men went to the saloon near the court house square to get a drink. Excited by the whisky they drank, the four men commenced to fire at each other. Brookes Toney turned his attention to one of the brothers, and the other came up behind and shot him in the back. Mark Toney then opened fire upon both of them, and, being joined by a friend, he silenced the fire of his enemies. When the smoke lifted three dead men lay near the spot where Joe Glover and the Gourillions had fallen. Mark Toney’s case was brought to trial and the verdict was for acquittal. Thus the feud between the Glovers and the Gourillions ended. The death of eight men was the price of peace.

A WOOER’S PLIGHT. Instead of a Husband, His Inamorata tiot a Stepfather. In the White Oak region, Kentucky, lived a comely widow, Mrs. Martha Berry, aged about 40. and her pretty daughter, Matilda, who has just entered her 18th year. In the same neighborhood lived Johnson Whitley, a prosperous farmer of thirty and a widower. Mr. Whitley had been paying attention to Mrs. Berry’s daughter for the past six months, and it was generally supposed throughout the neighborhood that they would be married soon. The mother, however, would not give her consent to the match, but she did not object to the young widower’s calls. He pleaded with the widow for the hand of her daughter, and the young couple decided on an elopement. All

She also tied a gag in her mouth and took her to her own room, and tied her to the bed. She then returned to the daughter's room and when Mr. Whitley came to steal away his lady love the widow answered the summons, and without speaking a word joined the young man in the yard. He assisted her into his buggy and drove with her to Gray son, the county seat of Carter county, where he had arranged with Judge Morris to perform the ceremony. Mr. Whitley was struck by the silence of his companion, but as she leaned confidingly on his arm and appeared to he sobbing all the time, he could do nothing more than caress her now and then and cheer her up by telling her that her mother would forgive her. He had no idea that he was carrying off the mother instead of the daughter, and it was not until after the ceremony was performed on the judge's front porch and they had repaired to a hotel that the deception was discovered by Mr. Whitley.

MURDER WILL OUT. A Criin* Committed Forty Year, A*' 1 at I.a*t Explained.

TRAINING POLlCEHOliSR DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING ANIMALS FOR NEW YORK’S FORCE.

Moat of the Horae* Come From Michigan —Weeding Out the Old htoek—The Official Life of » Patrolman’* Horae i* Short—The Training School Method A lot of eleven new horses for the use of the mounted police has recently been accepted by the Department under the system proposed byex-Com missiouer Frederick D. Grant. The plan has so far proved a success. The new horses are pronounced the finest and the best trained on the force. It was ex-Commissioner Grant’s ambition to have the mounted police in New York City the best in the world, and for this end he considers that good horses are as essential as good men. While this involves a larger expense in the pur chase of each animal, yet the ex-Com-missioner believed that it will be a saving ultimately. The average life of a horse in the Police Department is only five years. After that he becomes foundered or disabled in some other way and has to be sold. The ex-Commissioner hoped hv means of careful selection and training to increase a horse’s service to six or six and a half years. Under ex-Commissioner Grant’s plan a training school for horses and men has been established in the Thirty-second Precinct, where a large stable adjoins the station house. As fast as horses are selected, they are purchased provisionally and sent to the school. If they prove acceptable after two weeks or more of training, they are bought. If not they are returned. Here also the men who are appointed to the mounted force will be sent for instruction. It is very difficult to find horses trained for the saddle which are of the proper size, weight and color for the Department. There is no market for them anywhere else, and consequently the police are obliged to train their own horses. Horses for the patrol wagons aud the ambulances, all ready for service, are much easier to buy. The same scheme as exists in the United States Army is followed out iu, the purchase of the horses. They must all conform to a set of rigid specifications. The specifications for a police horse are a mixture of those required in the United States Army for a cavalry horse and the leaders of an artillery wagen, because as a rule, policemen are heavier than cavalrymen. They must be geldings of uniform ami bay color, iu good condition, from lu| to sixteen bands high, weight not less than 1000 nor more than 1200 pounds, from four to eight years old, eyes large and prominent, head and ears small, forehead broad, vision perfect. They must train to he gentle under the saddle, free from virion-: habits, with free ami prompt action at the walk, trot aud gallop, before, th? Department will accept them. Such a horse is worth about $200. The training school is in charge of Sergeant Coffey. When a horse is sent to the precinct lie first makes a thorough inspection of the animal to see if it comes up to requirements. Iftheaniinal proves satisfactory in these respects preparations are begun to break him to the saddle. This xvork is largely performed by Patrolman Frnw ley, who has been specially detailed for this purpose. The horse is put through a systematic course of exer cise in the stable, and is also taken out and permitted to sniff atcable cars and stand under the elevated tracks while the trains are whizzing overhead. In this way he is accustomed to the noises incidental to the life of a great city. Ho is also taught to march in line, sn that on parade days he will not become fractious.(md break up a platoon by balking. In about two weeks he is judged competent for duty. Some horses take longer. Most of the horses come originally from Michigan.

mg published an interview with William F. Woods of Chicago, purporting lo give the secret of the famous Burdell murder. Dr. Harvey Burdell, a dentist. was assassinated in his office, No. 31 Bond street, 40 years ago. Mr. Woods in his interview says that Doctor BurdeH's housekeeper, Mrs. Emma Augusta Cunningham, confessed herself the murderess, strangling the doctor with a cord, while John J. Eckel, her paramour, stabbed him with a dentist's excavator. The confession, according to Mr. Woods, was made to Mrs. Dr. James Fowler, Wood's grandmother, and wife of the murdered doctor’s partner in dentistry. Mrs. Cunningham made a confidante of Mrs. Fowler, because the latter had been kind to her. Mr. Woods said the secret would not have been divulged but for recent unpleasant experiences it has cost the Woods and Fowler families In making claims to the estate of Dr. James Fowler, who died a year ago at Bordeaux, France, where he established himself as a dentist, one year before the Burdell murder. The claims of the Woods and Fowlers brought out threatening letters to Mr. Woods, who was one of the most active claimants. The letters referred to made mysterious references to the Burdell murder.

What professes to be the smallest recorded specimen of the equine race is now on view at Milan. It is the property of the Marchese Carcano, a well-known horsefancier of Lombardy, whose four-in-hand of Shetland ponies have been the admiration of his fellow citizens for some years past. The little creature which the Marchese has succeeded in rearing is said to stand only six hands, or twenty-four inches. The smallest Shetlandsare seldom under eight hands. And this pony is no less remarkable for its perfect symmetry than for its minute proportions. The proprietor has a great liking for miniature horses, contending that they do more work for their size than an ordinary horse, andconsnme much less food. The fonr-ln-hand only costs him a trifle over twelve cents a day.

Bod I ph Found l.iiHhed Together. The bodies of Horace J. Johnson and his daughter, Effle, who were the occupants of the boat which was found empty off Lakewood, near Cleveland O., were discovered floating near the beach of Lakewood lashed together The anchor rope was fastened securely about the body of the man. it was then tied to the woman's body. The anchor, which was a thirty pound stone was at the end of the rope,and it served to hold the bodies at the bottom of the lake. It is evident that it was the pur pose of the father to drown his dauch ter and himself. u
