WalKer M. Gibson, his son-in-law, ind D. H. Hayselden. are under arrest, bavin? been aeized by the civic troops when attempting loescape. The populace assumed control of affairs in the kingdom on June 25, and were joined by the Honolulu rifles and other companies. Patrols were established throughout the city, and all the armories were guarded. On the afternoon of June 30 an immense meeting was held at the .armory of the Honolulu rifles, which was addressed in English, Hawaiian and 'Portuguese. All stores and shops had been closed, and nearly everyone that could go, attended the meeting. The approaches to the palace were barricaded, bot ths royal troops made no sign of meeting: the volunteer troops. The Honolulu rifles were under arms. On the armory walls were displayed the Hawaiian, American and English fags. Resolutions were adopted setting forth that the administration of the Hawaiian government bad ceased, because of corruption and incompetency, to perform its functions and afford protection to personal and property rights, for which all governments exist. The meeting formal a tod a demand on King Kalalana that be at once dismiss his present Cabinet aid that he call one of three persons, mentioned by name, to assist him in selecting a new one, which shall be committed to the policy cf securing a new constitution; that Walter M. Gibson be dismissed from each and every office held by bim under the government. Another denied was that the king make restitution of ri.000 bribe money and dismiss the register of conveyances. It was also demanded that the king give a specific pledge that he will not, in future, interfere, either directly or indirectly, with the election of representatives, and that he will abstain from unduly influencing legislation. These demands were submitted to the king. The Gibson ministry, who had heard ths news, immediately resigned. Kalakana's Talent as a Financier. Benton KTenitifr Trunscript. hY.akaua's kingdom is in a bad way, and, if reports and documents aro to be believed, all on ..ccouat of the King's boodle-seeking propensity. Tong Kee, a Chinese rice-grower of the '.aud and a financier of the Jake Sharp school, farmed a syndicate last fall to bny the King and oUa;n control of the opium market of the kingdom. After negotiations running for some time the King named his price $75,000. Tong Kee, taking a few of his wealthy countrymen into bis confidence, raised the money and paid it over to the King. KnUuauj, then awarded the opium license to another syndicate, which is mid to have seen Tong Kce and raised him $.",- 000. If these sttries are true, Kalakaua made .1133.000 $75,000 from Tone Kee and$SO,000 from the successful syndicate. We say, if the reports r true, nnd if affidavits are to be trusted. Tong Me. or T. Aki, as he is called in the island toceu., bas made an affidavit which has been published io fall in the Hawaiian Gazette. One Junius Kaae was, according to the affidavit, the po-between. He avoided all circumlocution; he aid the King wanted ?G0,000. Tone Kee closed with the offer, a id paid tha money in installments to the King direct, having eorae apparently reasonable doubts as to transratine jt by some Hawaiian intermediary, w ita the first lot, $20,000, Tong Kee, accompanied by a few trusty f: lends, drove to the pal,ace. It was after noon, and, with the sensitive?Tir oniQ Kalakaua. suggested that they better come strain in the evening. They returned at 6 o'clock and the money was carried into tho palace in baskets.

would be a question of a few days. The revelations at the Klein trial, the French tax on foreigners, which is openly designed to affect Germans, and . the prohibitive impost on German spirits, Lave the combined effect of incensing the people to the utmost. The latter measures, by themselves, have been held of less account, but, associated with the spy trials, they have heightened the general sense that French enmity is implacable and that it seeks to wound the Germans where it can, waiting a'chance to inflict the deadliest injury. The trial of Klein is the fifth treason trial in which clear proof was afforded that the French Wa? Minister has organized a system of espionage. A worse case than any revealed is under inquiry. An employe of the central administration at Strasburg is about to be tried at Leipsic. He is charged with selling the French War Office all of the official reports sent to the Chief Administrator of Alsace by his various subordinates. The completeness of this system of espionage sucgests that treason is still at work, and that any moment may bring further revelations Official indignation equals that of the public, and both the officials and the general public would approve the strongest diplomatic remonstrances being made to tne French government. As to the dangers of the situation as reflected by the press, the Kreuz Zeitung explicitly declares that any further show of consideratennss toward France is impossible; that a country whose whole policy towards its neighbors springs from feelings of wrong and hatred haa no right to expect further toleration. . The Bwrlin Tageblatt says: "If, in spite of efforts to keep the peace, the war dance of France and Germany must open its bloody maze, France will either be overtaken by the fate of Poland or the German empire be cast down from the height on which it has stood since the storming of Dnppel. The Germans would enter upon a war conscious that they had done their best to avoid a conflict. Meantime the severest sentence attached to the Leipsic trial is not that pronounced by the Reicbgericht, but the judgment it involves on France." The National Zeitung, which is noted for the moderation of its articles, says: "It is impossible to close our eyes to the dangers of recurring hostile incidents. The seed of hatred against Germany sown for the last seventeen years Is now in most luxuriant bloom. Day after day the French papers are filled with the names of German residents in France whom it is treason to talk to or employ. France mnst soon be made to see that hatred is not the fonndation on which a civilized state can attain external poyer." The Post, commenting on the anti German furor, draws the conclusion that the present peace should cot lull the German people into a sense of security that is not justified by facts. This press campaign, which has begun in earnest, has an undoubted official inspiration. It is believed to foreshadow early diplomatic action toward France.

EDITOR KATKOFF DYING. Ills Wonderful Influence Over the Russian Czar in Matters of State. Iondon, July 9. The condition of Katkoff, editor or the' Moscow Gazette, remains nn changed, but it is not expected he can recover. There are two czars in the Russian empire, the one, Alexander III, of the house of Romanoff, and the other, Michael Nikiforovitch Katkoff. editor of the Moscow Gazette. The first is ruler in name, the second is ruler in fact. A remarkable personage is the veteran journalist, who stands at the head of th most reactionary and retrogade organ or opinion in the world. Like all men of earnest conviction, he is thoroughly aggressive in his methods, and possesses the power to mold the will of others in accordance with his own. One of the first victims to fall beneath the sway of his sophistry was the present Emperor while heir apparent, and the influence secured at that early period never diminished. Katkoff laughed at imperial Ministers and press censors when his bold language aroused their ire. One might almost say that he laughed at the Czar himself, so conscious Was he of ultimate triumph. The secret of his power lay in the fact that he had thoroughly won the Czar over to his way of thinking as to the ends to be attained. Serious imperial disfavor could therefore never result from the means he employed. Thus Katkaft knew the Czar hated Germany, and so he lost no occasion to '-pitch into" that country. even to the extent of endangering Russia's relations with her. Michael Nikiforovitcn Katkoff was born in the ancient city of Moscow, in, 1820, of noble and wealthy parents, and was brought up in the luxury peculiar to rich Russian households. At the age of eighteen, after having passed with honors at the Moscow University, he was sent abroad to complete bis studies, and went through several courses of the universities of Koenigsberg and Berlin. In the last-named city he was a pupil of the celebrated philosopher Schelling, and upon returning to Moscow was appointed professor of philosophy at the university. .The young man at this period was thoroughly imbued with the progressive1 ideas current throughout Germany and they found expression in his teaehmes. When it is said that this occurred during the reien of the Czar Nicholas, when one liberal thought almost sufficed to send a man over the Ural mountains, the boldness of the youthfnl professor will be thoroughly appreciated. Stiil, it would be exaggeration to say that KatkofTs tendencies were revolutionary in the ordinary sense of the word. In common with many of his colleagues at the university he advocated a gradual and peaceful change in the system of government, a change to be initiated from on Jiigh, not from below, and culminating in a form of constitutionalism similar to that enjoyed by the British people. The realization of such ideas under a potentate like Nicholas could only be a chimera at its best. When the Czar learned of these encroachments of western civilization in tbe publio colleges he ordered a general overhauling of the corps of professors and a return to the old narrow-minded .system of schooling. Katkoff lost his place, and tfter a few years of enforced idleness adopted journalism as his profession. In 1856 he founded tbe Russki Yiestaik (Russian Messenger), and in as guarded a manner as possible gave expression to his net theories. On the other hand, he declared open war on the Russian social revolutionary party, whose leaders, Michael Bakunin and Alexander Herzen were intriguine aeainst the Russian government in Geneva and London. This auti-socialistic campaign earned for Katkoff the Emperor's approval and secured for bim the much needed immunity as regards his liberal propaganda In 1801, Katkoff took charge of the cow worldrenowned MosKovski Viedomosti (Moscow Gazette), which be has stuck to ever since, and here an entirely new phase in his life commences. With the growth of government patronage it began to be noticed that the editor's advocacy of liberalism was becoming lukewarm. His aspirations seemed to be turning in au entirely diflfrent direction. From a friend of "westernism" he was growing to be its worst enemy, and was now championing "Pan-Slavism" or the unification of all the Slav elements of Europe into one great empire. The Polish and Lithuanian troubles of 1863-4 fed fuel to the flame. Katkoff demanded an euergetto suppression of the revolt, and caused the government to send General MurairefT to Wilna with a.larpe force. The late Czar had already begun to feel the man's great influence over the Russian people, or rather the ignorant aud barbarous portion of them, and dared not oppose him. Poland was crushed down with an iron beel, and Katkoff wrote long editorials expressive of glee that "order should again reign in Warsaw." At the close of the Polish insurrection Katkoff turned his attention to the public school system. He was now a confirmed reactionary, and, with the zeal of all renegades, sought to undo tbe work he had himself helped to commence. The seed of liberalism he bad sown so many years before, which, after the Czar Nicholas's death, bad taken root under his more tolerant son, was now to be thoroughly eradicated, the so-called classichumanitarian system of schooling to be supplanted by the strictly classical and military pedagogism. In his fight against the liberal system of education Katkoff was ably seconded by Professor Leonteff, of the Moscow University. Their efforts were unavailing at the start, the Minister of Public Instruction, Golovnm, being a man of broad-minded views, and opposed to any return to the old order of things. Disappointed, tbe twain started a private school of their own, in Moscow, which still exists under the name of the Xieolai Alexandrevitch Institut Here they carried out their system so thoroughly that, in 1806. the new Minister or Public instruction. Count Tolstoi, decided to model all educational establishments in accordance with their theories, and to this day KatkofTs spirit rules the youth of Russia. Great as was KatkofTs influence in Russia under the lata Czar, it has increased ten-fold since the accession of Alexander III, who. rs already stated, was an eaily convert to the editor's views. Not long after Alexander lis df-ath, his successor decided to call together the hftsula of thA nrnvincinl assemblies of Russia, and confer with them as to the future policy of tbe government. Katkoff at once stepped in with bis michty pen. A Czar of Russia submit to the decision of any body of representatives. Never! What would become of the imperial dignity! The Czar was not proof against tbe editor's arguments, and the Zemstov heads were not convened. In all his undertakings Katkoff bas ever been successful. He it was who disgraced Loris Meh-

koff, Minister of the Interior, and also Generals Abara and Melutin MelikofI because be used more diplomacy than severity in bis dealings with the Nihilists. In his views on Russia's foreign relations Kafkoff has exhibited as much fickleness as on social and educational questions. Once in favor of the triple alliance, he of late years turned against Germany as Russia's greatest foe. Not content with attacking the new empire in the columns of his paper, he exerted his influence to Russianize the Baltic provinces of Russia, and succeeded so well that the German language is now in a fair way of being suppressed there altogether. Personally Katkoff is a hard worker, most abstemious in his way of living and not overburdened with the extreme polish and unctuousne.ss of those who usually attend on potentates. It was, in fact, his bluff and frank manner that made him a favorite with the Czar, himself a man of coarse though honest disposition.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Mr, Carnecte X.ays a Foundation Stone and Mr. Itlalne Delivers an Address. Edinburgh, July 9. Andrew Carnegie to-day laid the foundation . stone of the new free library building for the endowment of which he donated $250,000. Mr. Blaine was present and made an address. He claimed Mrs. Carnegie as a countrywoman declared there was no child in the United States, old enough to know about things away from home, that was unacquainted with Edinburgh, the many publications of the Cbamberses and tbe worKs of all Scotland's best thinkers having always had a large circulation in America, and ail having profited by them. As for himself, he looked back with pleasure upon the splendid galaxy of Scotlands stars Scott, Jeffrey and Sydney Smith whose literature, the latter avowed, had been cultivated upon a little oatmeal. Mr. Blaine was well received, and much cheered. Ferdinand Does Not Salt Russia. St. Petersburg, July 9. ""he Russian newspapers unanimously disapprove of the election of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the Bulgarian throne. They all pronounce the choice of him by the Sobranje the result of Aus-tro-German intrigue, and urge the Porte to intervene and the powers to withdraw their rep-' resentatives from Sofia The Novoe Vremya says that Russia in no case will allow Prince Ferdinand to go to Sofia, and adds that if he arrives there with an Austrian esort Russia will tell Austria to keep her bands off. Ileal tl of the German Crown Frince. BERLiNJuly 9. Prof. Virchow's latest report on the extirpated growth in Crown Prince Frederick William's throat is held by pathological experts to be most favorable. Still, it fails to entirely remove fears concerning his condition, and until Dr. Mackenzie declares that operations are no longer necessary the experts will remain skeptical as to the final success of the present mode of cure, Dr- Wagner sends word that the general healtn of the Crown Prince is improving. The Gladstone Testimonial. London, July 10. This afternoon, at Dollis Hill, in the presence of a large number of guests, invited by Mrs. Gladstone to a garden party, the American testimonial to Mr. Gladstone was formally presented to the ex-Premier and afterward exhibited by him to his guests. The presentation speech was made by Hon. Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World. HENRY CLAY'S BURCIIARD. An Incident That Exercised Great Effect Upon the Orator's Political Career. Schurz's Life of Clay. It was in the town of Richmond, Ind., that an incident occurred, the significance of which was scarcely understood by Clay. v bile he was ad dressing an enthusiastic Whig gathering, a Quaker by the name of Mendenhall presented to him a petition, bearing many signatures, in which Henry Clay was respectfully requested to emancipate his slaves. Clay's address was a masterpiece or oratorical skilL He character ized the presentation of the petition as a breach of hospitality, and then he took Mendenhall gen erously under bis protection against tbe indignant cries of the erowd. He declared slavery to be a "great evil;" he wished every slave in the United States were in Africa; if slavery did not exist ftere he would r rose its introduction with all his might. But s.avsry existing, how could it be dealt withl 'Che only safe method was gradual emancipation, and that had been postponed half a century by the reckless agitation of the Abolitionists. As to himself, should be emancipate his slaves forthwith) There were those among them whom age and infirmity made a heavy charge upon him. Should he turn them and the infants upon the cold charities of the world? There were those who would not leave him; should be drive them away? He recommended to Mr. Mendenhall the benevolent example of other Quakers, who, while in principles firmly opposed to slavery, would not resort to revolution and disunion. They were not monomaniacs, but knew that they had duties to perform toward the white man as well as the black. Finally he put to Mr. Mendenhall a practical qur-tion. If he (Clay) liberated his fifty slaves, worth about fifteen thousand, dollars, would Mendenhall and his friends contribute an equal sum to take care of their slaves after their liberation? Then he dismissed him thus: "Dry up the tears of the afflicted widows around you; consols and comfort the helpless orphan; clothe the naked and feed and help tbe poor, blact and white, who need succor, and you will be a better and a wiser man than you have this day shown yourself." The assembled multitude was lost in admiration; poor Mendenhall withdrew, discomfited and laughed at. Clay's speech was triumphantly published in the newspapers all over the country. But many thousands of Mendenhalls were to rise up in the campaign of 1844; and it was the cause represented by that humble Quaker that was to prove the fatal stumbling block of the great orator's highest ambition. Teachers of Agrlca.ture and Horticulture, flpeclal to the Indianapolis Jounal. Champaign, July 8. There is a large attendance here on the first day of the seventh annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers of Agriculture and Horticulture, which is in session in the University of Illinois, "How to Create Interest in the Masses of Farmers in Agricultural Education," was one of the leading subjects discussed by President Chamberlain, of Iowa; President Shelton, of the Kansas Agricultural College, and Prof. G. W. Morrow and T. J. Burrill, of the University of Illinois: Mr. Sanborn, of Columbia, Me., and Mr. Townsend, of Columbus, O. E. M. ShaUon, of Kansas, presides, and William R. Lazily, director of the experimental station and professor of botany, of Columbus, O., is secretary. Gold Discovery la Michigan. Special to the Indianapolin Journal. Ishpeming, Mich., July 9. A discovery of gold on Section 33, Township 4S, Range 23, has caused great excitement. Specimens show $25,000 to the ton in gold. Surrounding property is being secured by capitalists, and excitement is increasing. Visitors are flocking into the oity. The specimens of quarts shown are pronounced by experts to be the richest ever found. Fire Losses In Jane. New York, July 9. The Commercial Advertiser says the June fire record shows the largest fire loss of any June on record, excepting June. 1887, the month of the great fire at St. John. N. B. The total is $10,182.100. against $9,750,000 for June, 1886. and larger than the averaee of June fires for the ten years previous to 18S6 by nearly $4,000,000. The Truth of the Matter. New York Evening Post. The truth is that at present Utah cannot be admitted as a State on any terms. A Constitution which did not prohibit polygamy would not be accepted, while a Mormon constitution which professes to prohibit polygamy is on the face of it a fraud. Rural Attractions.

The Notorious Swindler Occupies His Time with a Little Printing Press. Correspondence Philadelphia Press. Ferdinand Ward, perhaps the most noted pris oner of all, a curious compound of shrewd ness and weakness, unlimited cheek and with no conscience nor principles, achieved some rare rogueries in which .he was not solely to blame, and in which he was by no means unaided. TL'.a does not refer onlv to Mr. Fish. There were others. Some time Itbejtangled web may be unrolled, though that is not likely where so many and some so powerful are interested in tangling it more, and a strange story will be told. Ward would like to do it himself, but he can't prove bis statements and it is doubtful' if his memory- would serve him. Tbe fact is that Ward aided ina stupendous fraud. His vanity led him to take a leading part in it the most prominent, indeed and, as it roiled on and on, like some enormous snowball, always getting bigger, it grew out of all control and beyond his comprehension. It was a matter of days only when it would end, and bis efforts were at last all directed towatd tiding over each hour, not to arranging the final catastrophe, which was left to take care of itself. The amount of business done by Grant & Ward through the clearing-house was $362,000,000, a figure representing a lso about one-quarter of the national debt of tbe United States. The man who managed all this now works in a shabby little prison-room containing a stiabby printing outfit, with which he strikes off very shabby letter and bill-heads for the prison. It isn't work to speak of, it is not under the nnre-f laxine watchfulness in which other prisoners toil, but it is widely different from a seat in tbe directory of the Marine Bank or a desk in the private office of the once much-envied, young and enterprising firm of Grant & Ward. The active partner weaVs stripes of coarse woolen fabric, but they fit him neatly. His boots are polished and shapely, and he looks pretty well groomed. Ward is not a man to suffer, much in imprisonment. His fibre is not fine enough for that, his temperament is sanguine and his ambitions, unqualified by the character of their aims, gratify tnemselves in small struggles as readily as with great ones. His life in prison has not been an easy one. He thou eh t that money could secure him immunity from all its hardships, but if it could in any way soften the asperities of prison life it had to be applied with more tact than he brought to its application. Unfortunately for him, he expressed his views. The methods adopted to convince him of his error were prompt and stern, but it was some time before they were effective. At first, he was put to work dragging ashes from under a boiler. It was hot, hard work, but he was kept to it for several weeks. Then the Bay State Shoe Company secured his services as book-keeper one Monday and found bim ridiculously incompetent on Tuesday. In bis youth he had been an amateur journalist, and bad some ideaof setting type, and this fact has directed tbe current of his life in prison. The firm of Perry & Co., stove-makers, enjoyed a large contract at that time, and had heed of blanks, bill-heads and labels. They set Ward to work treading the press with which these were struck off. When Perry & Co. were legislated out of their position as contracters, Ward and his printing office became an jvppendage of the prison. He can do all the work required of him in an hour each day. The rest of his time he spends in reading and in such idle ways as he can find diverting. His vanity knows no repression. Even the fact that he is the most notorious prisoner in the community of 1500 raseals is a source of pride and satisfaction to him, and he courts the curious regard which visitors so readily grant him, and basks in the observation of the crowds which flock imp prison on holidays. He enjoys newspaper notoriety, too. The fact that most of the publications relating to his life in prison have been far from complimentary serves perhaps to check his enjoyment of them,' but not to destroy his pleasure in the fact that he is still before the publio. His inordinate : vanity is beyond shame, and, selfish and envious, he has easily become the most unpopular man in prison, not only among the convicts, but with the keepers, who regard him as an unmitigated nuisance and do not fail to let him know it. Still, there are good qualities about Ward. He accepts his snubs and there are many bestowed with unvarying good nature. He is chipper and goodjmpered under all conditions and has no apprehensions for the f nture. He still . has matters in litigation, aud Bourke Cockran, his connsel, is a f requeut visitor. His wife has considerable property, 'a house in Stamford and a hotel splendidly furnished on the Connecticut River, betweeu Hartford and Saybrook. This hotel, although a small one, is a very luxurious affair, filled with hard wood throughout and all sorts of luxuries not to be found in the average summer establishment. A Beautiful Fountain. Anderson Herald. One of tha pipes leading from McOullougb's gas well has been submerged in the river, and an elbow so arranged as to throw a fountain of water and gas straight up into the air. The spray is perhaps sexenty-five feet high, and falls in a dense mist on every side. It beirins with a heavy column of water at the base, and gradually breaks into fine particles as it ascends. ,The roar of the escaping gas in the water is terrific, and conversation has to be carried on in the neighborhood in the highest key attainable by the human voice, with tbe mouth of tbe speaker almost a train st the ear of the listener. When the snn shines a perfect rainbow is formed over the fountain, which adds additional grandenr to the scene. All day yesterday and last night crowds of people flocked to ltiversida Park to witness tae wonderful display. Not a Summer Resort. Philadelphia Press. Air at the temperature and very nearly the consistency of pea-soup is not bracing and there is nothing exhilarating in a watering-place whose water was a soft and cenle yellow, as Philadelphia's was yesterday. Women in Politics. Boston Advertiser. The only danger for a woman in political activity lies in herself. It ia the same in any department of work which takes her even forao.

MELONS AND SANFORD'S GINGER.

Cistern water may be purified by charcoal put in a bas and- buns in the water. Peach leaves pounded to a pulo and applied to a bruise, or a wound from a rusty nail, or a simple cut, will give immediate relief. Hot water is better than cold for bruises. It relieves pain quickly and by preventing congestion often keeps off the ugly black and blue mark. Coffee roasted on a hot shovel, suzar burned on hot coals, or vineear boiled with myrrh and sprinkled on the floor of a sick-room are excellent deodorizers. A French woman eives this recipe for clearing the complexion: "A tablespoonful of sulphur taken every other morning for a week, then omitted for three mornings and taken aeain. A mixture of powdered brimstone or diluted glycerine should be rubbed on the face at nisht. and washed off in the morning with soap and water, in which there is a little ammonia. Washing the face in spirits of camphor, glycerine and ammonia is also very good." Dutch cream toast is a most appetizing dish for breakfast or lunch, besides being convenient for utilizine the remnants of a cold boiled ham. Remove all the fat and dry the bam in the oven until it will grate like cheese. Make delicate, thin slices of toast, bntter them and spread with grated ham. Make a sauce with the yolk of two eggs, a gill and a half of cream or milk, with a bit of butter added. Heat and stir it; pour boiling hot over the toast, and serve. A most popular fancy work is the bed-spread of " woolen lace and coarse linen. Since brass bedsteads are much used the embroidered spreads are needed to complete a harmonious effect. For a child's bed-spread a white woolen aco cover is worked up with rope silk of different colors, with many sorts of stitches. Another woolen-lace spread haa narrow ribbon, blue, piak and green, run through its meshes. The lase spreads are lined with colored silk or sateen. Coarse linen spreads are embroidered with conventional figures very coarsely, sometimes in the old German cord embroidery and often in feather-stitch' and other stitches. Beautiful mull covers embroidered in the "drawn work" are imported for spreads to place over a colored lining. The Old Way. New Tork Mail and Express. Mr. Cleveland has filled almost every federal office in Indiana with Democrats, and yet the hungry crew of the Hoosier State are still clamoring for more. They say that they want a Democrat for President, a man who will treat Democrats as men and brethren. There is only one way to satisfy these people. Congress most make the number of offices equal to the Democratic voters, and then the President must band them around on the principle, "first come, first served." Didn't Pray Very Hard. Oil City Derrick. In the course of a prayer, last Sunday an Oil City clergyman asked the Lord for rain. In going heme from church a little five-year-old asked her mother why Mr. prayed for rain iust before the Fourth of July. Mamma, was unable to answer the question satisfactorily. On the afternoon of the Fourth a gentle shower laid tbe dust, and the same observing little tot said to her mother. "Well, I'm glad Mr. didn't pray very hard."
