THE PROPOSED EUROPEAN
DISARMAMENT.
Throughout tho civilized world
the meeting of the Russion and
German rulers has been awaited and
observed with unusual interest. Cap¬
italists desirous/of investing, and
peace lovers hoping, almost against
hope, that a European war would be
averted, have regarded it as an
event of surpassing importance. The
lavish display of affection between
the sovereigns can have little influ¬
ence upon public opinion; but indi¬
cations arc not lacking of a substan¬
tial friendship and a business like
cooperation between the Emperor
and tho Czar which add assurance
to the improving prospect of peace,
and arc welcomed throughout the
world as most fortunate evidences
of an alliance for the exercise of
beneficial influence.
The task of disarmament, interna,
al and universal, as a policy to which
the German Emperor has pledg
ed himself, and to which the contir
nental States arc assenting, is news
which will generally be regarded as
too good to be true, and believed
only upon strorg confirmation. That
some progress will be made \n this
direction is however, probable. 1 hat
France will be guided by the action
of her neighbors is quite well assur

BLOTTED OUT.
We were going down tho Mississ*
ippi and had just pulled out of
Natchez, when a man, who had
boarded tho boat at that place, sat
down with four or five of us and en¬
tered into a general conversation.
Ho was learned and intelligent and
u as calm and self possessed as any
one you ever mot. By and by lie
said: ,
“Gentlemen, I want your opinion
on a strango question. Lot each
one of you triye his choice of death
in case of suicide.”
There was moie or less jocular
talk before an opinion was given.
There were five of us, to be ex¬
act, and two held to laudanum, one
to shooting and th e other two to
drowning. It was agreed, however,
that m none of tho cases would the
victim suffer much, providing he was
determined to make a sure thing of
it.”
“Why. do you ask, coionel,” I
queried after awhile, seeing that be
was silent.
“Because it‘s a personal thing with
me. GoHlcmcn, I am very glad to
have met you, and to have had this
pleasant visit. Good day.”
lie lifted his hat, bowed grandly,
and walked to the port side of the
boat and sprang into tho water be¬
fore the eyes of fifty people, We
stood icady in case he came up, and
the boat was stopped and held, but
never a sign of him did we see.
The father pf waters closed over
another mystery so tightly that noi
even a fiugei tip was shown to
guide us. Some day liis body floated
to the surface, to be cast upon ihe
bank and found, but it was to bo

gotten ere the month was out.—De¬

ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM
AIRS. CLEVELAND KEPT
PROMISE.
The fresh illustration ot ^Mrs.
Cleveland’s tact and modesty is tho
latest subject of gossip in society
circles. On Monday last a concert
was given by a number of local ama
tuors for tho benefit of Miss Ilolla
wcll, a crippled young woman resid¬
ing in the district. Tho concert
was giyen m an unpretentious little
hall connected with Willard’s hotel.
It w as not in any sense a society
affair. There was no long list of
lady patronesses socially prominent
in tho gay world, nor was the audi¬
ence anything moro than a plain
respectable, every crowd who had
paid their money and were there to
the benefit of it 1
In some way Miss *IIal!oweli had
secured a promise from Mrs. Cleve¬
land that she would attend tho per¬
formance. Requests of this kind arc
declined by hpr a score of times a
week. In this onsc, however, her
sympathies were enlisted, and she
gave tho required promise, although
to do so necessitated a hurried drive
in from Oak View after an unusually
late dinner. She entered the hall
quietly and took a seat near the door.
That sho was not recognised even
by those nearest to her was due in
part to their limited knowledge of
her appearance and in 'part to tho
plainness and modesty of her attire.
When the performance was conclu¬
ded sho quickly left the hall, and en¬
tering her carriage drove back to
her country liome without a soul
beyond the ushers and tho benefici¬
ary of the concert being aware of
her presence.
InRn Italian garrison there was
a privafco soldier named Ugolino.
Oue of the officers took the soldier
aside one day and asked liiai:
“Are you a descendant of the
famous Count Ugolino, about whom
Dante wrote?”
“No,” replied the soldier; “all my
ancestors were poor people.”
“1 refer to Count Ugolino who
was starved to death with his sons
in the tower of Pisa.”
“If he didn’t get enough to eat,
very likely lie was an ancestor of
mine, after all,” replied the honest
soldier.—Texas Siftings.

When Mrs. Hattie Davis entered
suit tor divorce m Chicago on Mon¬
day, the unique fact was broaght to
light that she didn’t know her hus¬
band’s first name “She never knew
him otherwise than as J. Davis,”
said her lawyer to the clerk of the
court. She lived with him only al¬ a
month, when he ran away. She
ways called him Mr Davis, and never
was told his first name. He signed

SHE MADE HER ; HUSBAND
By Breathing the Brouth of
Life Into a Pieco of Dough.
Thequestiou of the insanity of
James Stevenson and his wife Agna,
an elderly couple residing at Wash¬
ington Heights, was examined yess
terday. Stevenson is lifty-five and
and his wife is fifty years of age,
and both appear much older, f ile,
ligion, it is said, had made them
both insane. Mrs Stevonscu had
on a skirt mad oof liorso hair cloth,
and a strip of the same material was
tightly tied about her head and over
her ears.
“1 wear this over n.y ears,” she
said in a loud voice, “to shut out all
other religions than my own. I am
a Campbellite—a Campbollite, do
do yon hear? I am the creator ot'
tho umverso! I made everything
and own everything. Don’t think
because I am ragged 1 that I can’t
have better things, for I o A’n 50,000,
000 buildings, and all of them me
finer and bigger than any in this
city. I have sailed over thorn
through the air ma.iy and many a
time. Why, I could .-top over this
building just as easy as not, if I
wanted to. I made that husband
of mine; he wasn’t nothing but a
piece of dough, but I made a man
of him by blowing tho breath of
life into bun. Didn’t I create you
James?”
“Yes, you did. That’s vghf.,
judge. She made me, and I wasn’t
nothing hut a piece of dough.”
“I am 55,000 years old,” contin¬
ued the old lady. “That is, I’ve
lived on this earth that long.”
The old man said be was an old
soldier, and was wounded at the
battle of Black river bridge in Vir¬
ginia. “When I lay’ wounded on
the battlefield,” he said, in tremus
lous tones, “the spirit of my wife
came to me and revealed herself to
me, though it was seventeen years
later when I first met her in the
tlesh. But I knew her and knew
she was the creator of everything.”
They were found insane.—Chica¬
