•WAKING'S PERIL,"

—BY—

CAPT. CHAif. KINO, V. 8. A.

This is the title of a uioeMnterestlng

serial atory that will begin next week in The Mail. It is hia latest work, and one of bis very best. Of all the fiction writers who have come into prominence daring tbe past few years, Capt. King easily leads as the most popular. This story, like tbe others, deals with army life, and his description of the life and incidents of a soldier's career are of thrilling interest. Do not fail to secure the opening chapters of this delightful story. sJ .....

Carter Harrison isn't such a fool as his public utterances would indicate. He is going to marry a 3,000,000 heiress.

Mrs. Frank Lbswis is getting a great deal of advertising out of her proposed marriage to an actor. It's free, though, and she doesn't object.

Mrs. Mary Et,t,KN Lbasb, the Kansas Populist* declares there is a psychlo relation between herself and Father Moplynn, will some one be kind enough to explain to a patient public what a psychlo relation Is?

Tub city of Baltimore is pretlcally pennless, and cant raise money enough to pay her street labors. Her alderman ought to oome west, and get some information on the "white house" question. ...

SIFT Gko. M. Pullman's daughter is to wed an Austrian prince. The expense of maintaining a princely son-in-law fvlll baar very hard on a man of his limited means, and we may expect arise in the sleeping car tariff to meet the iiemands.

Trb Kansas Popu lists want to Impeach Secretary Carlisle and President Cleveland for the failure of the former to purchase during July tUe full amount of silver required by the Sherman law. If there is anything that the Kansas Populists don't want to do, In their efforts to run things, the slart press reporters have neglected to toll us.

Mrs. Clsvbland Is the flrsi lady in the land, and besides is a mostadmlrable woman, but the press correspondents are overdoing the thing when they tell us every day what she did the day previous, even to informing us that she and a party of friends weut up to New Bedford, the other day. to drink soda water, This Is too, too muob.

Vookhkks made "the effort

of his IIfo" in his speech on the financial problem in the senate on Tuesday. The moat that can be said of it is, that his expressed views don't altogether consist with the provisions of his btll, and that they are no departure from his previous utterances regarding national banks and money itLJteueral.

^THK MAIL will begitr, next week, the ijfobhoatUm of the latest story by that popular writer, Capt, Chas. King, U, S« A., entitled "Warlng's Peril.*1 No admirer of good, clean fiction should miss the opportunity of securing the opening chapters of this Interesting story, which Is thought by competent critics to be the best of his many excellent stories.

Cait, C. A. Powrr made a speech at the National Farmer*' Alliance, at Mt. Gretna, Pa., this week, that was quite flowery. Be said, among other things: "The people are getting aroused and are beginning to read and think tor them•elvee, and a great and mighty popular wave is now rolling over the country that will culminate in peace and prosperity to the nation.** This la the kind of a wave the people bare been looking tor, and The Mail trust* the captain will let her roll. ...

Thb wild talk of Governor Altgeld and Carter Harrison Is bearing its fruit. A proclamation to the aitarohisUi of the world has bean sent out from Chicago, oaliing the International conference of anarchists to miwt there in September. It sets forth that the time has come to aseembt* together for confewsnee to colteetlreljr pwcWm to primalp!e of human liberty to suggest plans for strengthening movemeut and to compare view* *t sociological

theories and all the "leaders of thought" In this country and Europe are to be invited, including Krapotkine, the exiled Russian nihilist, Johann Moat, and othen of that Ilk. If the public is to judge of the merits of anarchism by the utterances of its professed advocates, the police authorities of Chicago will necessarily have to increase their force during this meeting to "proclaim the great principle of public liberty."

SOME of the members of the present congress, it would seem, would be in a quandary to know how to dispose of themselves, in the face of

a

hard rain.

Three of them are at present laid up with injuries received in trying to board the fast-moving cable cars of Washington. The wonderful "one-horse shay" would be rapid enough as a means of transportation for some of our would-be legislators.

report sent out from

Washington this week states that .the President is a sufferer from some deep seated organic disease, and is in a critical condition. The truth of this has been denied, and it is to be hoped that the denial is true. He is President of these United States, regardless of his political affiliations, and sensible people of all parties will unite In the wish that he may be spared to serve out the term for which he was elected, and that the four years will bring prosperity and happiness to him and to our common country as well.

Traditions of the past evidently have no weight with the officer in charge of the beheading machine in the postoffice department. A Pennsylvania postmaster who was appointed by Andrew Jackson, in

1835,

has just been removed

to make way for a younger man, who is probably abetter hustler. The old postmaster had been on duty for fifty-eight' years, and his picture as the oldest one in continuous service in the United States is on exhibition at the World's Fair. Tbe old gentleman was doubtless a Jacksonian Democrat at the time of his appointment—for the author of "to the victors belong the spoils" was too honest to indulge in any cant* about civil service, and appointed people of his own faith to the offices—but of late years he bad been a Republican. It is barely possible that this had something to do with his removal.

cl&ncy in the use of good English, in eaoh case the medals or money to equal tbe annual Interest on $1,000. Tbe competition is to be in the form of essays in English prose on subjects of the foreign or domestic policy of the government of the United States. Every detail of the administration of the pjrisses is left to the several faculties, from the investment of the endowment funds to the selection of the topic® and announcement of the awards. Western men have in recent years secured nearly all the good places on the metropolitan press, and the Idea probably is to educate a class of journalists among the eastern college graduates who will win. somo of these prizes for themselves.

A Cincinnaticrank who claims to have jumped safely from forty-seven bridges Is going to Niagara Falls to perform the crowing act of his career. His idea is to shoot the falls on the Canadian side in a peculiarly constructed barrel. It Is eight feet long aud five aud a half feet wide, built of stout wood and lined on the outside with copper, covered with a six inch thlokness of rubber. On the inside will be swung a hammock, so attached that its occupant will always be in an upright position, no matter how the barrel turns. He apprehends some difficulty in evading the authorities at the falls, who are always on the lookout for fellows of his stripe, but thinks he will be successful by attempting the feat at night. It is difficult to understand why the authorities should interfere to prevent a fol like this from taking hia life in hi* own hands, as the moat he can do, if successful, is to become a dime museum freak, and goodness knows we have enough of them now.

task for his treatment of the Inquiry, and wh«a the weatera executive's an

thing of an unusual nature.

By tbe declarations of party platforms, and the persistent agitation of wellmeaning, bui In many cases misguided advocates of woman suffrage, we are expected to believe that at some time in the not far distant future, the women «f this country will begianted the privilege of voting If this brings with It the possibility of female candidacy for office, and the canvass so necessary to success, ,we may pray that the day of deliverance to women may be long delayed, especially if our women are to be accorded the treatment that is given to the English women who participate in their election canvasses. iUehard Harding Davis, In

Harper's

for September,

gives his impressions of a general election, and the part, taken therein by women, and they do not prejudice one very strongly in favor of seeing his own wife or mother pass through such an ordeal. He says the part the women play in an English election Is one of the things which no American can accept as an improvement over our own methods. It may either amuse him or shock him but he would not care to see it adopted at home. The canvassing in the coun try from cottage to cottage he can understand that seems possible enough, for it takes the form of a polite visit to tbe tenants, and the real object is cloaked with a few vague inquiries about the health of the children or the condition of the crops, and the tractlike distribu tion of campaipn documents.

But it is an entirely different thing when It comes to a canvass of tto Jcltles The evasion of bachelor apart^ints by young Primrose Barnes, hqpays, 'is em barrasslng and un-nlce, and is the sort of thing we would not allow our sisters to do and the house-to-house canvass In the alleys of Whitechapel or among the savages of Lambeth, which result iij insult and personal abuse, is,' to our way of thinking, a simple impossibility. He declares that he has seen women of the best circles struok by stones and egga and dead fish, and the game did not seem to him to be worth the candle. A seat in the' house, he thinks, would hardly repay a candidate for the loss of one of his wife's eyes, or of all of his sister's front teeth, and, though that is putting it brutally, it is putting it fairly.

The English women do not go into this unwillingly, but on the contrary they delight In it, and with the enthusiasm born only of women, be they English or American, will go to greater lengths than the men in carrying out their objects. The writer in question tells of one woman who plastered her house from the sidewalk to the roof with the posters of her favorite candidate.

There are many things in modern politics that are disgusting to male participants therein, and if the introduction of our women folks will bring about the state of affairs that Mr. Davis tells us exists In the mother oountry, we may conscientiously hope that we'll have none of it.

It is the founding of six prizes prompt in administering justice towards men charged with assaults on women and children as was the Philadelphia judge in a recent case, there would be fewer of such crimes committed, and

Judge Lynoh would not monopolize so much space in the daily crimes report. Two' brutes assaulted a helpless, friendless woman in that oity, and despite the efforts of their lawyers to postpone the case, and thus give the public time to forget the enormity of the orime, he insisted on an immediate trial. The evidence was strong against them, and he promptly sentenced them to fifteen years in the penitentiary, the limit, expressing regret that he couldn't make it longer. With such promptitude on the part of all courts, women would be safer from insult and injury, and men would not be led into violating the law themselves to get justice for the victims.

Thb wreckers of the defunct Indianapolis National bank have been arrest ed, on charges of embeaalement, and aiding and abetting the same, and though all gave bond, it is likely to go pretty bard with them when their cases come up for trial. The deeper the affairs of the concern are probed, the

COLORADO'S governor, Walte, whose "blood-to-the-bridle" speech gave him notoriel'.y, Is a character in hie way. Some oi! hia constituents recently chaaed some Italian laborers out of a mining camp with guns, and when the Italian minister wrote to him for information about the affitlr, hia reply shocked Washington diplomatic circles. Hesaid that while he personally might not Indone atteh action he still understood the spirit of the weat sufficiently to say that the officers of %m law, by reason of their elroamatancea, often had to wink at what would not otherwise be allowed, and that, In fact, he did not see that anything rould be done In the matter. The diplomatic relations between this country and Italy, so mdely shocked by the New Orleans afialr, It is feaied may receive another strain by this off-hand way of treating her representative, similar action on the part of the TypoSecretary Oresbam has taken Walte to graphical union, and three others, and

mow

rotten they become,- and it la expected that the rebate to depositors will be very small. The bank was capable of making money with the proper management, but tbe reckless and unbuslness like way in which affairs w^re conducted has put the depositors in fucb a frame of mind that they will brook no delay of the law in punishing the officers who were derelict in their duties. The way of the traugressor la not always made hard, but in this case It doubtlees will be, and the elder Haughey's high standing in church and social oirolwa will not serve to mitigate the severe punishment which the law provides for those who are dishonest in handling other people's money. ,, ••••:.,• mm-

Tbm Chicago labor unions are doing something now that could be imitated with good results by many of the wealthier olaaaea who do not often find It agreeable to My a go*d word lor laboring men's organizations. Some time ago a resolution was adopted at a general meeting declaring it the duty of every union to withdraw Its money from the safety vaults and invest it in good securities, or depoalt It In the bank*. It was stated at the time that there was over $500,000 ta Chicago, tied up in the safety d»?oeit banks. Last Saturday the Clgmrmakera' union drew $M00 from una of these institutions and deposited It In four batiks, thus adding that much to &fee^x^iaiiaft</T^ followed by

It te said this week will find tbe majority of the 500,000 on deposit in the banks,

ewer ta retarded we may expect seme* instead of lying Idle in the aafety deposit vaults. At a time when the pressing

need Is for the placing of money in circulation instead of hoarding it, the aetion of the labor organizations is highly commendable, and will go along way towards restoring them to the place in public opinion from which the indiscreet talk of a few men, who happen to be leaders, occasionally displaces them.

.Tare removal of Congressman Springer from the chairmanship of the house committee on wayB and means where tariff measures must originate, and the substitution in his stead of Mr. Wilson, of Virginia, means that the fight on our present tariff system is to begin. It means this if it means anything. The people—or a majority of them—declared by their votes last fall their belief that the protective system is a delusion and a snare, created for the purpose of enriching a few at the expense of the itiany. Through that plea the present administration secured its return to power, and for the first time in thirty years the party finds itself in position to carry out what it has professed for more than thirty years a desire to do. It has both branches of congress and the president, and the chairman of the commltte on ways and means is a radical free trader. If we are to have free trade, let us have it now, and be done with it. If it is the panacea for all Ills, as its friends assert, we'll be the better for it. If it isn't a general cure-all, thousands ot men who voted for it last fall will do so no more forever, and a remedy will be found for it in November, 1896.

TOM AND JERRY.

Ex-Spiaker Brad Gives the 8ockle«» Stateman Soma Politer*. Philadelphia Times.

Immediately after the adjournmentof the House to-day Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, walked across the floor to tbe desk of fix-Speaker Reed for the purpose, as he said, of adding something to his stock of information on the financial stituation. There is always considerable intellectual exhilaration when Tom and Jerry get together. Mr. Reed said: "To people who reason In a small circle the present condition of affairs is extraordinary} but If we look at the history of the world we will realize the fact that nations, like individuals, every once in awhile stop business long enough to take stock and inventory of their business. That Is what this country is doing now. If the financial problem were left alone to the great financiers tbe result would pot so nearly approximate perfection, as a financial measure which will be evolved from.the wisdom of all minds. "Every man has a niche to fill in this world, and the Populist and Anarchist and .Socialist probably all have their mission to perform under the direction of Proyiaence. Often times we learn wisdom from fools. I have no doubt that out of this chaos there will come peace and tranquility. »'I presume you mean me when you refer to Populists and fools,'' said Jerry. "Not necessarily meaning you, but including you," said Mr. Reed.

Chicago Inter ocean. Mr. P. P. Elder, who hailB from Ottawa, Kansas, is known for his stubborn, uncouth opinions and his Ceesarlike determination. He assumes that the rest of the world Is plodding in utter darkness, while he alone Is enlightened and of all men alone unfettered by ignor* ance.

During the visit of Duke Alexis of Russia in this country Blder was lieutenant governor of Kansas. While Alexis was in Topeka a banquet was tendered him.

Over the main table the ihotto of the state, "Ad astra per aspera," was hung. Topeka society was strung to the highest tension to impress the duke with its culture. During the feast Elder saw the eyes of the duke wander to the motto. "Duke," said Elder in a loud tone, to the horror of everybody present, "them words is Latin."

Elder was speaker of the house of rep•resentatives in Kansas when Windom and General Sherman died in 1S91. Windom died twenty four hours before

Sher­

man and the flag on the state house was pulled half way down. When the news came of the great gen eral's death the sergeant at-aims rushed in and asked Elder what he should do. "Put the flag at half-mast,"said Elder. "But it Is already at half-mast for Windom," explained the sergeant-at-arms. "Then pull it the rest of the way down, you goose," explained Elder petulantly.

It was In the same legislature that Elder had trouble with the Alliance chaplain. This individual always opened the work of law-making with a rayer.

One particular morning he had fallen asleep over In a corner. Elder wanted to begin business In a hurry, but the chaplain could not be found. "Where's that obaplaln?" he growled.

Finally be found him. He shook him vigorously and exclaimed in a voice that could be heard a block: "Get up there and do your praying, you lunk head, and be blank blank quick about it, too."

A MODEL HYMN.

In the debate on the silver question Bome very clever stories have been told to illustrate certain points the speaker desired io make. One o* the cleverest Is the following by Mr. Evorert, of Massachusetts: There was a congregation in England once that wanted to procure new hymn books, but they were very poor and could not atlord to pay for them at the ordinary prices. They understood, however, that a certain great advertising house, a business house that made patent mediolnes, was willing to furnish them hymn books at a penny each If they, would allow some advertisements to be inserted in the books. They thought that would be no special, harm, that they might have a few pages Of advertisements bound up with Watts and Doddridge. Accordingly they agreed to the proposl tion. The books came, duly printed, and they got down to the church on the 24th of December.

On Christmas morning the model Christians, who had no thought of anything but religion, got up to sing. Their pastor gave out by the first line a very familiar hymn. They all expected that It would be given out. Immediately the congregation arose to. their feet and in a few seconds were aghast to flud themselves singing-

DEATH OF MOTHER SHIPTON. London Globe. "Mother Shlpton Is dead, or, at any rate, the real author of her famous prophecies is no more. In other words, the bookselling world has to deplore the loss of Mr. Charles Hlndley, who long ago confessed to the innocent imposture. He wrote a good deal In one way and another, partly to the press and partly in books, but "Mother Shipton" was his

most

famous achievement. He died at Brighton, where he used to carry on tbe business of book-selling.
