Chicago, Sept. 2a The expenditure of $30,000,000 by two English syndicates for the control of an extraordinary aggregate of industrial enterprises in the United States was completed in this city to-day. Levy Mayer, a well-known Chicago lawyer, "was one of the agents in the great purchase, and to him was left tho matter of making public a summary of the transactions, or xather the extended series of transactions. A pair of London corporations, headed by the present Lord Mayor of London, Sir Henry Isaacs, are the buyers. The syndicates include in their membership a great number of British bankers and trustees of large estates in the United Kingdom. No "business was acquired for them in the United States which has not paid, at least. 121 Twr rpnt. n. T.-ir for th naif, ft vn rnr Jrain elevators, flouring-rmlls and breweries have been the favorite investments. I he management of each of the various enterprises will be placed in American boards of directors, subject to the control of a board. 'Doesn't this tend to the establishment of a huge British trust!" Mr. Mayer was asked, this evening. 'Oh, no," said he. 'There is no combination. Each enterprise is operated separately and distinctly. The plan is not ono of aggression, but of conservative, sure investments." Hostile legislation, it is learned, has been cleverly evaded. The alien laws of Illinois, for example, prohibit any sale of Teal estate to foreigners. It was designed to prevent the acquirement of farms in Illinois by a certain British landlord for Tack renting' purposes. The syndicate got around this statute by having the ownership of necessary real estate incorporated and then acquiring the stock of the company, which, legally, is "personal,' not "real" property. The deal embraces a chain of elevators from the Minnesota and Dakota wheat districts to Chicago. The syndicate flouringmills are at Minneapolis, and the breweries are in Chicago and the East. The purchasing committee, or, at least, two of its members, whose identity has not been disclosed, left Chicago this evening, en route to the Northwest, and intending to go from there to Omaha and Kansas City, where further purchases are now being considered. The titles of tho following properties have already been turned over to the syndicate: The Bemis & McAvoy breweris, of Chicago, the Wacker &. Birk breweries, of Chicago; the Albany brewery, of Albany, N. Y.; the Jones brewery, of Detroit, Mich.; the Hauck brewery, of Newark. N. J.; the Trefz brewery, of Jersey City, N. J.; the United States breweries, of New York; a portion of the stock of the Schcenhofen brewery of Chicago; the Star elevators, of Minneapolis, seventy-six in number; the C. W. Vanduzen system of elevators, of Rochester, Minn., ninety In number; the Cargill Bros', elevator system, of Minnesota and Dakota; the Baltimore breweries, of Baltimore: F. Braaetadt Hancock iron mines, of Hancock, Mich.; the Rochester breweries, of Rochester, N.V. Arrangements for the following are also concluded, and the transfer will take place in a few days: The F. J. Dewes brewery, of Chicago; the Pillsbury Hour-mills of Minneapolis; the Washburn Hour-mills, of Minneapolis; the Syracuse brewery, of Syracuse. N. , Negotiations for two extensive elevater systems in Chicago are well advanced, but not yet consummated. The City Contract Company, of London, capital $00,000,000, and the Trustees' and Executors' Company, of the same city, capital $00,000, are tho corporations or syndicates making the big purchases. Both are reputed to be among the most solid of British institutions. Lord Mayor Isaacs is president of the latter company. Trusted agents tirst made lists of desirable property. The next step was to obtain options (contracts binding the owners to sell for a certain sura, and giving a history of the enterprise for tn years hack), accompanied by a bank deposit to guarantee expenses of an investigation. Expert examination by English accountants followed; then came a report from an advisory committeo sent to the grouud. and lastly the work of tho purchasing committee. The examining or advisory committer came over in July, and consisted of D. G. Macrae, editor of the 1-omlon Financial Times; II. H. Shanks, of London, and several other gentlemen. The furchasing committeo was headed by lesr. Thomas Stewart and Leigh Marshall. Secrecy of the most binding characther was observed to tho utmost. The main reason for this, as given by a member of the purchasing committee to-day, was: "We have been inclined to look upon the pnrchase as private business, which could bo of no proper interest to the public." MccxEArpLis, Mlnn.,cpL 2$. C. A.

The Czar's Proposed Ylait to Germany. fCopjntUt, is, by the New York Associated Press.! Berlin. Sept. S.-Tho Czar has sent an autograph letter to Emperor William, stating that the Czarina has caught cold, and that her physicians have advised her to delay her departure for several days. The C..ir asks that the final riirrfn V. In reception at Fotsdata be delayed. Prince J'i .rck has cixes ccunjnunlcated with

Count Schonvaloff, the Russian Minister, I in regard to the arrangements of the Czar,

in the event of Ins coming to 15erlin. Count Schonvaloff replied that he had orders to prepare to receive the Czar and his suite r.t the embassy. The Czar himself has not intimated his intentions beyond his visit to Potsdam. The Emperor will go to Hchwerin on Tuesday as the guest of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg. According to the Nati. hal Zeituag. the Czar's visit is oflicially fixed for (Jet. 9. The absence of M. DeGiers, the Russian Prime Minister, who is now staying in a remote part of the province of Tambour, does not appear to affect Prince Bismarck's determination to have an audience with the Czar. The week has been signalized by an outbreak of the war clamor by the semi-official press. The Cologne Gazette publishes an alarmist article on the extension of the Russian strategic railways on tho frontier, which the North German Gazette prominently quote There is a simultaneous reappearance of war notes in the Chancellor's organs. The Vienna papers foment the scare by statements that the Russians along the frontiers of Galicia and Bukovina are in active motion. Six regiments of cavalry and four of infantry have, they say, arrived from the interior. Observation towers are being erected close to the Galician frontier, the whole aspect of the country giving the impression that the army is making a' strategic march. These reports have been directly suppressed by the Vienna and Berlin ministries. Bismarck's motive in re-creating agitation over the Russian armaments on the eve of the Czar's reception is variously interpreted. Recalling the incidents prior to the last interview the Czar accorded him here it is obvions that the Chancellor aims to place the Czar again under the necessity of granting a political conference. The reports also serve other purposes as they tend to balk Russia's efforts to negotiate a loan for the payment of the cost of the repeating rifles ordered in France, and to prepare the Reichstag to accept the new military bill, which is now known to involve anjextra credit of 240,000,000 marks. But if the indifference shown by tho boerse over the attempted scare forecasts the feeling of the Reichstag. Prince Bismarck will liud the meinbersless susceptible than formerly to" the old tricc. The Czar's aversion to meeting the Chancellor or to giving his visit aDy character other than a formal courtesy, has been intnsftiirt hr th nrniertprf innrnpv nf Fm. peror William to Constantinople. "'The programme oi mo emperors xour is now announced to include a visit to Bucharest, which will further annoy the Czar. The Moscow papers ask if Bismarck dreams of detaching the Greeks from their traditions of a Russian alliance. Tho Greeks attach superstitious import to the marriage of tho Duke of Sparta and Princess Sophie. An old prophecy is recalled by the papers of Athens, and reproduced here, to tho effect that the Mosque of St. Sophia, in Constantinople. will be restored to. the Christians under do resiorea xa me v;nrisiians unuer uleof a Greek Emperor named Conline, with a wife called Sophia. The :idenc of the Duke of Sparta's name, tho rule of stantin coincidence Constantine, and that of the Princess So phia is exciting the imagination of all Greeks as a hopeful augury of coming events, a feeling which Bismarck will take advantage of. The Empress will accompany the Emperor to Constantinople, and will stay on the imperial yacht while the Sultan entertains his Majesty. Sensational Incident at a Coroner's Inquest. Chicago, Sept. 28. A sensational climax ended the coroner's investigation, this evening, into the Washington Heights railway disaster, a day or two ago, by which six suburban passengers on the Rock Island road were killed and a dozen persons scalded and mangled. The jury had just returned a verdict, holding engineer Seth Twombly and fireman Henry Le Clocho responsible for the wreck, and committing taem to jail, when Le Cloche broke down, and admitted having 3'eriured himself in swearing that Twombly was not drunk. The hreman then made an extraordinary confession, telling of his wild ride with a drunken engineer, the son of the master mechanic of tho road. Le Cloche intimated that compulsion from high officials of the company has prompted him to lie. The testimony of other train men than Le Cloche, preceding the verdict,, while not precluding drunkenness on the part of the engineer, had tended to show the hatter's . absolute sobriety. It was bronght out, however, that Twombly had been suspended three times during his service with the company for being drunk, and a year ago was discharged. He was reemployed by his father, tho master mechanic Master Mechanic Thomas B. Towmbly. the aged father of the engineer, testified that he had been informed by several employes that his son had reformed, and tho reinstatement wus on the recommendation of Mr. Kimball, assistant to the president of the Rock Island road. The master mechanic produced David Buissono, an engineer employed by the company, who took the stand and testified that twenty-live minutes before Seth Twombly started out ho was perfectly sober. When the jnry came in with a verdict that, notwithstanding the testimony, sweepingly condemned Twombly and Le Cloche, and censured other train men and the company, Lo Clocho was the only directly interested person in the small crowd present. He blanched visibly, and asked for a private talk with police Lieutenant llealy. The result was a voluntary open statement by Le Cloche, who was greatly agitated. Twombly and himself, it appeared, had gone to a saloon before starting out with the freight train that played such havoo with tho passenger train at Washington Heights. Twombly drank freely, but, said Le Cloche, "He was not paralyzed drunk." Le Cloche continued: "He ran the engine all the way himself. I did not touch the throttle." "Was he asleep at the time just before tho accident!" "I don't know. His head was out of the cab window at the time and he might have been asleep without my knowing it." At this point the fireman broke down completely and cried like a child. He was led away in charge of a policeman. The fireman was only recently married, and is a fine looking young fellow, though his face is not a strong one. Engineer Seth Twombly is under arrest at his home, confined to bed by Injuries received in the wreck his own drunkenness created. Tlio Rotterdam Strike. London, Sept 28. The labor troubles are increasing at Rotterdam, and the immense shipping business of that port has for the time being been transferred to Amsterdam. This movement is in the nature of a lockout, so far as. the original strikers are concerned, but the strike is. nevertheless, certain to spread, and will probably extend to Amsterdam. The chances of the success of the strikers is by no means as Sood as were the chances of the London ock laborers, as those of Rotterdam have very little, if any, of the public sympathy which was extended to their London brethren; neither are they favored with tho good will of tho police, as was the case in London. Thus far very few acts of violence have been reported from Rotterdam, but the people of Hull were treated to a sensation today which gives evidenco of the existence at tho Dutch port of a spirit of violence among the strikers which the authorities have failed to note. A few days ago a steamer sailed from Hull for Rotterdam, and reached her destination after the strike had begun. She was unable to discharge her cargo, and finally cast off from her dock and returned to HulL Upon her arrival home the body of a Rotterdam customs officer was found in her hold. An inquest was held immediately, and in the absence of full testimony the coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death, though there is very little doubt that the dead official was tho victim of exasperated strikers with whom he had probably interfered. Germany's Route to France, London', JSept, 2S. Count Von Waldersee's summer trip through Switzerland was, of course, for rest and recreation only, but it was only natural to suppose that he should seize such an opportunity to render his tour of value to his country, and it is understood that the record of his observations attained considerable lengthy and, it must be supposed, is of proportionate value. There are itineraries and memoranda in plenty concerning Switzerland, its defiles and strategical points filed away in the archives of tho German War Department, but the conditions of modern warfare are constantly changing. Problems of engineering, which would once havo involved immense difficulties, are now easily solved. Newly-invented explosives can remove obstacles which would have been insurmountable a generation ago, and it is reported, with some acceptance, that Count Von Waldersee Is of the opinion that the route to France through Switzerland is not only the solely available one, but that it presents no did col ties worth mentioning

in the face of the overwhelming force with which Germany can undertaka it. It is plain that ambitious aspirants to reputation, who shall throw that of - Von Moltke in the shade, have the true contempt of the professional warrior for forces thai aro only brought into the field upon occasion, but the sturdy Swiss have never failed yet to defend their native land with successful tenacity, and the sympathies of all the world will bo with them in any such future struggle. The suggestion of the smokeless powder is the one now vexing all warlike natrons. Either of them would gladly experiment with it upon gene feeble adversary, but the disturbance of the present status upon the continent would inevitably precipitate a war involving nearly every nation in Europe, and it will, probably be first tried as a measure of policy upon some outlying barbarians before being perfected for civilized use. a rather cool but natural resource for gaining the requisite experience. The fact is that, despite its obvious advantages in some respects, the men are afraid of it. The matter has been kept as quiet as possi ble, but during the recent Austrian maneuvers, dozens of the troops were fatally asphyxiated by the poisonous fumes of the powder. For skirmishers, pickets or detachments not exceeding a certain number of men, t'ae new powder is invaluable, but on infantry in line of battle, firing with the rapidity which modern wars admit, the effect of the concentrated fumes are overpowering, and there is little hope as yet that science can provide a remedy without detracting from the effectiveness of the new explosive, which was to revolutionize warfare. Indiana Association of Spiritualists. V Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . Anderson. Ind., Sept. 2S. The annual meeting of the State Association of Spiritualists has been in session here since Thursday. The attendance is not large, although there are representatives of this peculiar faith from all oarfca of the State. Mr. and Mrs. Kates, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Colby Luther, of Crown Point, are the most prominent speakers. Mrs. Luther and Mrs. Kates are "inspirational" talkers, and the latter is celebrated as a psychometric reader. The association to-day, by formal resolution, pledged its support to Dr. Reed, a medium at Battle Creek, Mich., who has been recently indicted by a United States f:rand jury for using the mails for frauduent purposes. Resolutions were also

adopted denouncing sectarianism m the public schools, union of ' church, and state, and the Pope of Rome for certain anathemas contained in a recent encyclical letter to the church in America against the liberty of the press, liberty of speech, liberty of conscience, liberty of religious worship and the publio school system. t Mrs. Luther was verv severe in denunciation of the Catholic parochial schools, and advocated, amid applause, that all children should be required to attend the public schools without respect to the religious preferences of the parents or the dictation of any church, whether Catholic or Protestant. Dr. J. W. Westerficld, president of the association, said of the term "religion" that it belongs to the dead languages; that it has no significance, as applied to the affairs of to-day; that he did not know what it meant. , The following officers of the association have been elected for the ensuing year: President. L. M. Blacklidge, of Pennville: first vice-president, Dr. W. F. Work, of Charleston; second vico-president, Mary E. Taylor, of Indianapolis; secretary, J. E. Crosstield, of Muncie; treasurer. Dr. J. W. Westerfield, of Anderson. The association will conclude its session to-morrow evening. Jewish Play Stopped by the Police. Six'tal to the Indianapolis Journal. N?w York, Sept. 28. Considerable excitement was created on the Bowerv to-day in front of the Thalia Theater, formerly the Old Bowery. Two weeks ago Gustavo Amberg, who is the lesgee of this theater, sub-let it to Kafka & Co. for a terra of five years, who were tp play J e wish operas. They gave performances under Amberg's license, which, however, expired last week. Tho company kept on playing pending an application to tho Mayor. Shortly after 1 o'clock to-day the police were ordered to stop the performance. A squad was sent to the theater, and entered by the stage entrance. The curtain for the first act had risen on a play called "David Benjesse," and Mr. Kafky, who plays the part of King Solomon, was sitting on tho throne. He was notified that the performance must stop, and he imparted the information to the audience. A terrible howl went up from fully 2,000 people present. They yelled for their money, and a rush was made for the box-office, but it wastightly closed. An indescribable scene followed. Somo of the infuriated mob began tearing the paper off the walls, while others kept up a continual shout for tho return of their money. A cry of fire was raised, and a number of women, overcome by fright, fainted. Finally the police, by the force of their clubs, drove the mob out and cleared the theater in a short time. Outside the mob kept howling for their money. Mr. Amberg attempted to jass through tho mob, and, being recognized, was assailed with all sorts of missiles. His hat was smashed and his coat was torn up the back, and if it had not been for the police he would have been badly hurt. The police finally cleared the streets. lioulanger Advised to Return to Paris. London, Sept & The belief is now pretty general here that General Bonlanger will follow the advice of his supporters, 'both here and in France, and return to Paris, making his appearance in that city before the supplementary ballots take place. ( It is argued in favor of this step that his appearance in Paris, in defiance of the sentence of the high court, will enhance his cause greatly aud create a wavoof popular sentiment in his support that not even the government will dare to oppose. Deserter Denied a Pension. Washington, Sept. 23. Assistant Secretary Bussey has rejected tbe application of Martha Adams, widow of William Adams, for a pension. The evidence showed that Adams enlisted in Company C, Thirty-ninth Kentuoky Mounted Infantry, Deo. 20, 18G2, and deserted Aur. 10, 186-1. On Feb. 8, 18G5, he re-enlisted as a substitute and served until honorably discharged. He filed a claim for pension, alleging ohronio diarrhea mid disease of the breast, and died while the claim was still pending. After an exhaustive review of the evidence General Bussey rejects the claim for want of sufficient proof, and. in passing, says of it: A soldier who deserts from the service who, while a deserted, reinlists as a substitute, and within a month goes to the hospital, and stays there until the war is over, who' does not apply for a pension until thirteen years after discharge, and then endeavors to establish his claim by fraud and forgery, has certainly not placed himself In a favorable aspect as a claimant."

The chivalrons knights who came oyer with the Conqueror, the nobles who fought at Neville's Cross, and Crecy, and Agincourt, were, for the most part, tho merciless tyrants of their serfs and dependents. Sordid rapacity kept pace with reckless profusion, and in the arbitrary exercise of their feudal rights they shrank from no form of oppressive cruelty. Their brutalities would have disgraced a Jonathan Wild, and their crimes would seem scandalous in the Newgate calendar. To do them justice, they were as hard on their equals as on their inferiors, though from a point of perhaps egotistical punctilio, they Bpared their equals the dishonor of actual torture. The captive had neither comfort nor mercy to expect till he paid his ransom, or was rescued by his friends. What stories of alow misery in tho very shadow of death might be told by the dungeon that may still be seen beneath tho foundations of such castles as Wark worth or Kenil worth! There the well-nutrured knight like Damian de Lacy in "The Betrothed," shackled and ironed, although there was no possibility of escape, was doomed to solitary seclusion on the coarsest and scantiest food. Fettered in the damp and the darkness among loathsome creeping things, h& drew breath with difhculty . in the foulest air; and it was fortunate for him that, like the cold-blooded toads which were his fellow-prisoners, undeveloped sensibilities saved him from insanity. The only access to those loathsome oubliettes was, as at Warkworth, through the trap-door opening in the roof. What must have been the tone of mind of the chivalrous lord of the castle who could feast and carouse in the banquet hall above stairs with such horrors and such suffering beneath his feetl But what between hard fighting, free feasting, and deep drinking, the nobles of the middle ages seem to have kept conscience at arm's length, as they had become absolutely indifferent to the suffering of their fellow-creatures. There were rare exceptions to provo the rule. Some princes and wealthy nobles were piously inclined and munificent. They gave liberally in their lifetimes and made magnificent ecclestiastical foundations. A Change Suggested. New York Independent. The Lutheran Observer, according to its annual custom, again suggests that our national thanksgiving day be changed from the last day in November to Oct. 12. There is every reason why this latter day should be annually commemorated and there is no reason why the last Thursday of November should be. From 1S93 on let us have tho 12th of October set apart for the day of thanksgiving. Two Human Men. Providence Journal.

SOCIETY FROM THE INSIDE. A Very Select Circle That Refused to Admit Caorernor Clereland'a Slater. Boston Transcript. There is any amount of looking at "society from the outside. How does it look from the inside! What are tho feelines of the four hundred with reference to their own proceedings? Do the people engaged in this glittering humbug ever look at themselves objectively as it were, and take a sort of curious interest in the manifestations of their own well-buttressed pretence? I'ossibly: the Listener the other day heard a story from one of the leaders of a small aristocratic circle at Albany, N. Y. "society," as everybody knows, has its outlying representatives sometimes even in small towns, and in Albany there happens to be a very select circle indeed which 6eems to prove that even society people can sometimes see the humor of their proceedings, "We are. as you know," said Miss X , "a verv select circle at Albany. io one is ever admitted to our set except after the maturest consideration and the fullest probation. Well, you may remember that some years ago Mr. Grover Cleveland, who had been Mayor of the city of Butlalo. was elected Governor of New ork. We at Albany did not know Mr. Cleveland. He came to the capital and established himself in the Governor's house, with his sister. Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, to preside over the household. We found Miss Cleveland, so far as we had occasion to meet her, a very agreeable person; we saw, of course, in one way and another, something of the family; but one may be Governor of New York and not be ia Albany society. It is possible that wo patronized Miss Cleveland a bit, but, of course, we did not do anything which was in the least like taking her into our set. "Well, the last part of the winter of 188383. and the winter of 1883-8!, during all of which the Clevelands were at Albauy, went by; the autumn of 18S4 came, and Governor Cleveland was elected President of the United States. That mado tho situation somewhat different. When wo came together we canvassed the question a little whether Miss Cleveland should not now be taken into society. Mr. Cleveland-was no longer merely Governor he was Presidentelect, and his sister was to be the mistress of the White House. Even that, of course, by no means entitled her to be admitted into society, but we drew the lino on the side of leniency, and toward the middle of winter a little delegation of ns called at the Executive Mansion to invite Miss Cleveland to a little party, which was tout au fait a society altair. That invitation was, naturally, the beginning of Miss Cleveland's exiutenco in Albany. She had been in the city for two winters already, but she had not been in society. So. in conveying the invitation to Miss Cleveland, I took oecasion to remark: "We are very glad to welcome you to Albany, Miss Cleveland, and we hope you will pass a pleasant winter with us!' "I suppose that may have sounded queer to her: at any rate, she drew herself up a little icicly, and remarked: "Thank you Miss X ; but this is not my lirst winter in Albany.' rI made no reply except to raise my evebrows a little; but it was really very funny. You would bave thought though I must say she really carried it off very well that we had been deficient in some duty theretofore, instead of conferring a favor, as we were doing. But sometimes the funny sides of these things will strike us, you know." m o A FAD THAT HAD REASON. Avoiding? Duplicate Wedding? Presents by Keeping "a List" on View. Chicago News. At a State-street jeweler's. Miss Sailor-Hat "Good-morning! Lovely day. isn't it?" Miss Brown-Bonnet "Is it?" "Why, what's the matter? You look disconsolate!" "I am. Here I've been for two mortal hours trying to buy a wedding present for Gertrude T with 835, and positively tho only things I can find that 1 really like are a SlOJfan and a $'jOQ miniature!" "Oh, bnt haven't you seen her list?" . "No. Whatlist?,r "You have evidently not been to call on her lately. Why. she's adopted a brandnew English fashion, and has a list of all the things she wants given her displayed on a small table in the drawing-room, so that all her visitors can examine it for themselves and mark off the articles they prefer to give. It is a strip of satin paper about two yards long, and a gold pencil lies beside it.' "Are all the articles mentioned expensive?" "Oh, dear, no!" Some of them are. but others are mere trilles. It's like this: A gold thimble, a Steinway baby grand piano, a writing-case, a pair of sleeve links, a clove-buttoner, a pearl necklace, a lace handkerchief, silver forks and spoons, a gold pen, silver tea service, and so on. Gertrude told me she's nearly sure her father intends to give her the piano, and she examines the list tirst thing every morning, hoping to see a cross against the 'baby grand,' but it's not there yet, and she thinks he's just teasing her. One of her nucles has pnt his cross and initials opposite the tea service, and against the pearl necklace I noticed a G which is the bridegroom's initiaL Lucky girl, isn't abet" "I really think it's a very good plan, this preent-llst!ng,, as they call it." taid a little Korth-eide woman, xrho it credited.

"I only wish it had been in fashion when Jeanette was married last year. If we'd been able to 'list' her presents the poor girl wouldn't have had rive sets of salad forks and spoons, all marked with her initials, or three cases of after-dinner coffee-spoons. Yes, it's an English fashion, and somo Washington girls were the lirst to follow it in this country. You know Washington brides, if they've any social position at all, always get sncn quantities of presents. They say, and 1 dare say it's true, that the prettv daughter of Senator Q received 203 salt-cellars ou her marriage. Another Washington bride (and this 1 know to be true) was given no less than 400 presents of silver, all in cases. She was marrying a poor man, and what do yon suppose that girl did? Bought a silver-chest and packed all the things away in it, and then 6old the cases to the iewelers from whom they had been originally purchased. She has dressed beautifully on tho proceeds ever since, and it's now nearly two years ago." JOHN It. SULLIVAN IS CONGRESS. How the Record Will Read When II RUes to Address the House. Texas Sittings. Speaker of the House (impatiently) Who is that gentleman interrupting the proceedings bv thumping the desk so ioudly? John L. (angrily) It's me Johu L. Snllivan and I'U thump you if you don't pay attention! Speaker (conciliatingly) Ah, beg pardon, Mr. Sullivan; didn't see who it was. But another gentleman was speaking. Y'on know parliamentary rules John L. (scornfully) I don't know parliamentary rules never fought under 'em but when it comes to Marquis of Queensberry rules or London prize-ring rules Member (on back seat) I call the gentleman to order. (Then he ducks his head.) John L. Order 'em yourself; I called 'em on last. Speaker A gentleman 6tood up before you. Mr. Sullivan. John L. For howmany rounds? (Scornfully). His name wasn't Kilrain, was it? Anti-Trust Representative (blandly) Before the honorable member from Massachusetts interrupted me, I was endeavoring to show my position with regard to rings. John L. (striking an attitude, as thero wasn't anything else to hit) This is my position with regard to rings. How do you like it? Anti-trust Member The rings I allude to areJohn L. Sixteen foot or twenty-fourfoot? It doesn't make any difference to me. Speaker Perhaps it would be as well for the gentleman from Massachusetts to come to a finish. John L. Fight to a finish, you mean. That's what i always try to do. But Mitchell wouldn't stand up to it, confound him! Speaker I must beg you, Mr. Sullivan, to confine yourself John L. Confine myself! Not much I won't. And the Governor of Mississippi won't confine me, 'either not if 1 can get out of it. Speaker But it is hard work John L. That's the devil of it Hard work for one year. But it's an insnlt to the Congress of tho United States. Think of a Congressman being confined to hard work even for a day! Speaker (despairingly)-7-Bnsines cannot be carried on in this way. 1 feel like throwing up John L. Tho sponge? Speaker No, the gavel. Impatient Member I call for the previous question. John L. A new kind of toddy, I suppose. Well, make mine a little sweet. (And the Hon. John L. sat down). Fortitude Born of Love. London Times. It was in the year 1SS0. in a third-rate city called Neutcbateau, in the Department des Vosges, France, about noon, that we were passing, my father and myself, in front of a store where, in addition to hardware, a supply of ammunition was kept for the uso of the regiment there. Suddenly we heard terrible explosion, and being either thrown or. having unconsciously run, I know not, we, at any rate, found ourselves about twenty yards from where the explosion occurred, and could see part of tho roof in the street. We had hardly reached the building when a man came out of it covered with powder, his hair and beard burning and large pieces of llcsh hanging from his face and bare arms. Never will I forget tho horror of the sight; his flesh was charred and his clothing partlv burned. A he reached the sidewalk he looked aronnd him and called a name I did not catch. Receiving no answer, he went right back into the burning furnace, and in a few seconds came out bearing in his arms his child, a girl of six or seven. Those nearer to him heard him say: "Mv darling, are you hurt? Oh, you aro hurt!' Whilothe poor little thing kert saying: "No, papa, I am not hurt, not at all; you aro burning, think of yourself," and ye,t the blood was trickling from her forehead where the flying debris made, a deep gash. Both recovered, though disfigured for life. At the time I thought there was not only ono hero, but two. A Sad 6taUw Iowa State Tiejrister.
