A SINGLE paragraph tells that Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have reached New York after their summer outing. A year ago they could not go so liar into the mountains but that every little detail of their daily and hourly life was amplified and exaggerated for the delectation of a craving public. One would think that the loss of power and position would be almost compensated by the privacy that has been secured. To be everlastingly under the microscopic gaze of millionsof people is the most trying ordeal in the life of the chief executive and his family.

Her first act after his death was to throw her* aelf on his body* Tim is habit of Sarah Althea's. !She began many years ago by throwiaf herself away. Then

has returned in safety

to Washington under escort of Congressman Randall, Lieutenant Parker and General Passenger Agent Geo.L. Connor* A body guard of this size is amply sufficient for the short trip from New Bedford to Washington, especially when one considers that in the United States a woman is perfectly safe to travel unprotected from Maine to California. Of course, however, some regard must be paid to appearances and it seems to be etiquette that neither the President nor his wife must be le|t alone for a moment. We have not yet followed the royal fashion of having "ladies and gentlemen of the bed chamber" but some day when the offices are all given out and there are still some good party workers to be rewarded, these new positions will be created.- iH item

W. L. SCOTT and other owners of the northern Illinois coal mines are in Chicago, at the earnest request of many businessmen, to see if some arrangement cannpt be made bv which the striking miners may return to work. There was some prospect that a compromise might be effected but the operators could not agree among themselves. The strike originally resulted from a 10 per cent, reduction of wages. During the summer, when there has been very little demand for coal, the proprietors could well afford to have the mines idle. To meet the requirements of the approaching fall and winter they will be obliged to make concessions, but the miners will be compelled to accept some reduction, and besides will have lost the entire summer's wages. What the public would like to understand is the reason why the price of coal to consumers continues to increase in about the same proportion as the wages of the miners decrease? "There is a nigger in the" coal mine.

THE

jury have found the champion

guilty. They could not do otherwise, as most oi them were at the fight. Nor could they resist the impassioned appeal of the district attorney, "If your verdict be 'not guilty' then write on the indictment, 'Mississippi disgraced and despised' if the verdict be 'guilty,' then you will show to the world that in Mississippi, our beloved state, the law is supremo." After this burst of eloquence the jury managed, with (considerable assistance from the judgerto return a verdict of ^'guilty.", They could not afford to lose the grand opportunity of their lives, to wipe out with one little word, and a very suggestive one, the record of their state for having just about ai) little regartl ior the supreme law of the land as a state could have and remain in the union Mississippi may be satisfied with her complete vindication butbefore the public can fu% accept the situation there are one or two little circumstances they would like to have explained.

HER TROUSSEAU.

From Dublin the princess has ordered several evening dresses, some of which are in very beautiful colors. One is in the soft tint now universally known as old pink. The materials are broche, crepe de chine, satin and passementerie, all care:y matched with each other. The back of the dress is made perfectly plain, with a train. In front it opens oV6r' puffings of the pink crepe strewn with flowers in pink crystal passementerie Between the puffing^ is a refers of

IN THE FIRST PLAOE AND THE 8ECONF PLACE. A'man from Indiana called iat police headquarters thS other day to make inquiries about his wife, who had eloped and headed this way and whom he believed to be in the city. "She ran off with another man, did she?" queried one of the detectives. "Yes, she did." "Well, don't you think it foolish to run after her?" "Foolish? How?" "Why, she. can't love you." "Well, perhaps not." "And she'll probably try it again at the first chance. "Yes, she may." "Then why do you follow her?" "Wall, in the firet place," slowly replied the man after due reflection, "she either went off with Hezekiah Smith, John Tobias, of Erwell Green and I kinder want to know which one it was and in the next place, I thought if I found 'em and blustered right up strong I mightgitdamage money enough to pay my taxes and fix up for winter."—Detroit Free Press.

AN IDLER'S NOTES.

Chicago attempted to annex the earth in order to get Tascdil'and the world's fair within the city limits, but Terre Haute can go her one better It has been finally determined that Charloy Ross, Tnscott and our Mr. Hale are snugly and safely hidden in an immense tract of ragweed on south Sixth-and-a-half street And, by the way, what mockery of science was it which named ragweed "Ambrosia," the "food of the gods"? For heaven's sake give us more of the food! Let us have ambrosia in the parks, ambrosia upon our streets, ambrosia in our yards, ambrosia on our housetops, ambrosic in pots in our windows, ambrosia in parlor, draw-ing-room and kitchen, ambrosia in our button-hole! Let as eat ambrosia, drink ambrosia, sleep on ambrosia and at last die in ambrosia—as we all shall do if the ambrosial authorities do not give us soon a different "food."

Last night at 12 o'clock the Idler was in bis favorite corner behind the kitchen stove, pondering deeply on the discomforts of life, when his 3-year-old and only son broke in upon him. The boy held in his hand what seemed to be a huge roll of manuscript. Perching himself upon the back of a split-bottom chair, which had belonged to his greatgrandmother, he read: "There was a cur-rent report on the street yesterday when the policeman shot the unmuzzled dog.

A cur sometimes becomes a curse. A bullet is no terrier, you know. It was a pity but the political "cop" must have nis dog or oil.

They buried him darkly at dead of night, under the dogbenry tree. An appropriate occasion foradogsologv would have been,"—

Here the Idler discovered that what seemed to be a huge manuscript was nothing more nor less than the Idler's new buff flannel trousers, on which the infant prodigy had printed, with a red and blue pencil, his hidequs jokes. "With a muttered imprecation^ the Idler started toward him, but he looked so impish and uncanny, perched there in the half light, that he dare noe touch him. The prodigy's eyes were flashing with the fire of inspiration. He was elaa only in a short waist which he had long since outgrown and with his small blue-veined limbs and body, his monstrously big head almost void othair, his face ancient and solemn as the face of a man of forty, he presented a startling combination of Puck and Henry Ward Beecher. A breezy boy is that male heir. When he was "but a fortnight old his mother was wont to read him to sleep on the tales of Doctor Cod, of local fame, and such was his superhuman ability to grasp a point that on those occasions he would frequently indicate his great delight by rubbing together,the pink soles of his feet until they were very much blistered. We call inm^'Pim forshort, but his full name is Pimple for," said his mother, "he is a rising humorist."

Query: Why should not a police officer or a constable mash, as well as another man? "Pim" gays it is curious that while one of these gentlemen is forever trying to make a sweet "mash," he always takes a "sour" one—when he drinks. Whatever that may mean, the Idler doesn't know, but if it is an officer's duty to please the ladies, there is nothing they like better—to use the language of a popular young attorney—than "a nice, clean man." But, truly, has the Idler often wondered for what good purpose are all these patrolmen. He is informed that there are some fifty—or fifty thousand, it matters not which—in the city. How generous is the tax-payer! What superb charitv! How munificent is the protection offered our homes, our workshops, our property, our lives. Policemen. everywhere! They crowd the thoroughfare they line the street they Swarm in the grocery they rest upon the counter. The atmosphere is alive with them! When you lie down at night they, hang on every picket of your fence. When you arise in the morning, your lawn is strewn with them. When you draw water at the well, you find them there. When you harness your horse, you discover them in the manger. When you make your bread, you fish them out of your flour barrel. Infinite security! Verily, no man of crime mi^ht tread "onr streets $nd live.

It is true, to maintain sndi a force of peace oftieers the citizen is jtn§yhat oppressed, but the average Terre Hautean has heretofore exhibited remarkable selfsacrifice in this regard. He is willing to pay his dollar jnst for the beauty of the thing. And it is also true that the stuff of the officer might be improved upon, A little more exercise and physical training would be a good investment perhaps. The Idler this morning encountered one of thet& ubiquitous fellows, who is a fair example of the enervating influence of fat living. He had just drooped himself from a street car near the railroad station and was moving off toward a rear door. The Idler took a good look at hint. He walked very much as a boy would move- a step» Imdder—one side at a time. He was a huge, overyrown creature, all adipose and Ikarmlem the finished and framed picture of inefficiency. The Idler recpnfo with pleasure that this is a specimen of part only of the force for it must be said that there area number of fine athletic men who wear the blue.
