South American countries are apparently
taking a very lively interest in the forth
coming world’s fair, and many exceedingly
interesting exhibit* are promised from that
region.
Strawberries are just fairly getting into
the New York markets from the surround
ing gardens, although they have virtually
passed out of season here. Savannah is
ahead of the great metropolis in a great
many respects.
Benonciation of the dreibund is not to
be allowed in publio by the authorities of
Rome. That means that Italy remains
faithful to it notwithstanding tbe amuse
ment it found in Italy’s dilemma with the
United States.
Germany is half inclined to recognize
the Chilean insurgents lest the United
States or France should do so first and thus
secure trade advantages. But it would be
pretty rough on tbe kaiser’s government if
tbe other side should chance to win.
Judging by tbe persistency of Minister
Constans against all official counsel to the
contrary in his proposed criminal prosecu
tion of Count de Lesseps one is forced to
the conclusion that the cabinet minister
has a personal grudge to satisfy. Still it is
doubtful if be will dare to proceed with
•ueb a prosecution.
Another company bas been chartered In
lowa with a $1,000,000 paid up capital to
build airships. No doubt they will get all
the air they can ship for their money. But
whether they ever manage to rig up a ves
sel that can be steered through the atmos
phere is a matter of very grave doubt. Still
they might try a fly-wheel or so.
Minister Reid has been feeding Mr. Tom
mie Reed, of “don’t-give-up-the-quorum”
fame. Wonder if the fat and big-footed
oitizen has been waiting around Paris all
tbis time for that dinner ? It will be re
membered that Mr. Reed gave up most of
bis spare oash lost fall to secure his election.
Possibly times be hard with Thomas.
Cincinnati ring politicians are solidly
against Campbell. That's only natural.
“What rogue e’er felt the halter draw with
good opinion of the law F’ It is to be hoped
that there are honest men enough in the
state of Ohio to not only nominate, but
elect, Got. Campbell, even though Cincin
nati does appear to be a trifle short in that
respect.
St. Louis has introduced the Rusk system
of cattle inspection that the national depart
ment of agriculture has put in operation at
Chicago and other places. Close inspection
should remove all objection to American
cattle and meat in foreign markets. AU
the foreigners want is to be sure that what
they are buying is flit for healthy food.
That much they have a right to demand in
all reason.
Careful investigation of the cause* and
spread of leprosy in India by a British com
mission leads the medical examiners to
think that the dreaded scourge can be cured.
Bhouid such a thing prove possible it would
be a wonder even greater than the Koch
cure tor consumption was at first thought to
be. But since no particulars are given and
no important experiments have been made
the question must for some time remain in
doubt. Such a thing appears too good to be
quite real.
Some of those Guatemalan correspondents
are as able “fakirs'' as the most accomplished
metropolitan bohemian. That startling
story which recited that the wicked Presi
dent Barrillas had appropriated $3,000,000
of government bonds and sold them for
$1,300,000 now turns out to he a pict
uresque fabrication with no more founda
tion than the sensational rumor of prospec
tive annexation of the country to the
Vnlted States. Gaulemaia must have
lately acquired an assortment of republican
campaign litterateurs.
Too Much Sympathy for Murderers.
An extraordinary effort is being made to
prevent the execution of Charles M. Ozburn
of Atlanta, who is condemned to be hanged
next Friday. His friends say that he is in
sane, and they are trying to show that he
is. At the time of his trial there was no
evidence to Bhow that he was not in bis
right mind when he committed the cold
blooded murder of which he was convicted.
In Macon a petition is lieing circulated
for the pardon of a young man who shot
his employer a number of years ago, and
who was sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. It is alleged that he was not in his
right mind when he committed the terrible
crime, and it is urged on his behalf that he
is a model convict. The jury in his case,
after having beard all that could he said
for him, concluded that he knew what he
was doing when he fired the fatal shot.
There are reasons why he should conduct
himself quietly in the convict camp. Good
conduct insures him good treatment.
There are scores of men in this state who
have committed murder, but who are just
as free as if they were guilty of no crime
whatever. They owe their freedom to sym
pathetic juries and shrewd lawyers. And
the fact that they are free encourages men
to use deadly weapons upon the slightest
provocation. Hardly a day passes that
murder is not committed, or attempted, in
some part of the state. Only the other day
a prominent citizen of Warrenton was shot
to death in the postoffice. The murdered
man was hardly given time to deny the
charge that was brought against him.
It is to be expected that the friends of
murderers will do all that can be done to
save them from the penalty of their crimes,
but the good of the community requires
that the courts shall see that the laws are
enforced, and that the governor shall not
weakly yield to pleadings for pardon.
There must be a sentiment, and a strong
one, created against murder. Men must be
taught that human life iB sacred, and that
they cannot take it with impunity for real
or fancied grievances. There are ways for
settling difficulties without the spilling of
human blood.
But as long as the impression prevails
that men can be shot to death without
much danger of serious consequences to the
murderers the number of murders will not
decrease. Men will continue to use deadly
weapons in the most cowardly manner.
They will nurse their anger until a favor
able opportunity presents it6elf and then
they will deliberately kill those against
whom they have a grievance. Or if a
quarrel occurs suddenly they will not hesi
tate to use a pistol or a knife.
The courts by granting continuances until
the witnesses against murderers are out
of the way, and juries by failing to convict
upon satisfactory evidence, are largely re
sponsible for the large number of murders
committed. And the governors this state
has had have not been without their share
of the blame, because they have too readily
yielded to appeals for pardon. A pardon
for murder should never be granted except
upon incontrovertible evidence that the
jury made a mistake. There are cases un
doubtedly where good conduct ought to
have weight, but, all things considered, the
interests of society would be better served
by permitting the law to take its course.
And none of the minor offenses should be
more severely punished than the carrying
of ooncealed weapons. If that practice
could be wholly abolished there would be a
decrease in tbe number of murders at once.
Aud it would be abolished very soou if
those who control public sentiment should
array themselves against it and exert them
selves to make it disreputable.
Will Call Get a Ca ; fleate?
Nobody seems to know whether or not
Gov. Fleming intends to issue a certificate
of election to Mr. Call. Just before the
legislature adjourned it was reported that
be intended to hear argument as to tbe
legality of Mr. Call’s election. If the report
was correct he appears to be rather slow
about fixing the date for the argument.
The probability is that be bas already
made up bis mind as to the course he will
pursue. It is reported that he has been
looking around for a suitable candidate to
appoint. If tbis report is correct he does
not intend to give a certificate to Mr. Call.
One report is that he has offered tbe ap
pointment to ex-Gov. Bloxham, Chief
Justice Rainey and John F. Dunn, each of
whom in turn has refused it, and that he is
now considering others whom he thinks are
available senatorial timber.
If these reports have any foundation it
seems strange that no one of those whom
the governor favors cares to contest Mr.
Call’s right to the Renatorship. Perhaps
eaoh of them is afraid that acceptance
would mean political death.
It is stated that Secretary of State Craw
ford bas announced that he will not affix
his signature and the seal of tbe state to
any certificate exoept one certifying the
election of Mr. Call. His alleged attitude
may have something to do with the inability
of the governor to find any one willing to
accept an appointment.
The matter ought to be settled one way
or the other pretty soon. There does not
appear to be any very good reason for a
much longer delay. If tbe governor has
determined to make an appointment be can
find, probably, among those who were
most aotive in opposing Mr. Call’s election,
someone who will make tbe contest.
Candidate Frank Brown is the shrewdest
man that Senator Gorman has yet had to
tackle. Although the senator has all along
favored Merchant James Hodges for gov
ernor of Maryland he finally had to suc
cumb to the pressure for Candidate Brown,
who started his boom by a sumptuous din
ner to the country editors, and then fol
lowed It by exerting his influence with the
agriculturists and Farmers’ alliance, as
president of the State Agricultural Associa
tion. Starting in by wininng the regard of
the oountry editors is what did the work for
Mr. Brown. He began at the right place.
Bringing over Senator Gorman to his stand
ard was as good as a nomination, and a
democratic nomination is equivalent to an
election in Maryland.
Balmaceda still insists that “perfect order
reigns In Chile.” Whether it is his own
order or the oppoeite ordor is not stated.
Still they continue to fire on one another
with unremitting animation. Why should
Balmaceda levy a forced loan of $30,000,000
if perfect ordor reigns? Isn’t that going it
a little strong for “the piping times o’
peace”? Evidently Senor Balmaceda ie fond
of stating his own case in the most favorable
light possible.
Austria is in trouble. If Italy or Russia
should suddenly jump on her now she would
be in a sorry plight. With her great
Pola shipyards destroyed by fire she would
have to rely upon what naval equipment
she has until repairs could be made.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1891.
Georgia and the Fair.
It looks as if Georgia would not be repre
sented at tbe Columbian fair at Chicago.
She certainly will not unless the people
raise a sufficient sum by private subscription
to get up an exhibit. The legislature will
not make an appropriation for an exhibit.
That is about settled. Many of the members
of tbe legislature have expressed tbe opinion
that thore is no way an appropriation oan
be made without violating the constitution.
But Georgia ought to have a place at the
fair. It will not speak well for the Empire
State of tbe South to be conspicuous by her
absence. She ought to be present and con
spicuous. And what a splendid exhibit she
could make If she had a sufficient amount
of money at her disposal! Her mines,
forests, farms and factories yield produots
which are second to those of no other state.
And it would pay her to make an exhibit.
All the world will be at the fair, and im
pressions of the different states will be
formed by what is seen thore. Georgia
cannot afford to have the impression get
abroad that she has nothing to exhibit, or
was too economical to make an exhibit.
Such an impression would do her incalcu
lable damage. It would ke6p capital and
the very kind of immigrants desired away
from her.
The leading and progressive men in all
parts of the state must take hold of this
matter. If the right a jrt of an effort is
made a sufficient sum of money can be
raised to make an exhibit, which, though it
may not do the state justice, will, at least,
be creditable to her.
Let tbe public-spirited men of the prin
cipal industries get together and adopt a
plan of action. Let the world, at least,
know what progress the state is making in
agriculture, manufacturing and mining.
No doubt the business men and the corpora
tions would contribute liberally toward
any effort in that direction. What is
needed is for a number of men in different
parts of the state to take the lead.
The commissioner for this state, Mr.
Charlton Way, has been exceedingly ac
tive in trying to arouse enthusiasm in be
half of an exhibit. He it was who sug
gested the fair convention which the gov
ernor callod some time ago. He should re
ceive encouragement—far more encourage
ment than he has yet received. He can dp
nothing unless he has help—help of the
most substantial kind. It is certainly time
for Georgians to make up their minds as to
what they are going to do with regard to
the fair.
A Republican Scheme.
Republican politicians are conscienceless.
Their aim is to get tbe offices, and they
are not nice about the means they use to
get them.
When Calvin Brice was a candidate for
senator from Ohio the oharge was made
against him that be was not a resident of
that slate; that he was a citizen of New
York. The charge was investigated by the
Ohio legislature, and that body was satis
fied that it was without any substantia]
foundation, Mr. Brice was elected, and
will take his seat in the Senate in December.
The Senate is republican, aud a scheme is
on foot to out Mr. Brice on that same old
charge in order that the next Ohio legis
lature, which the Republicans think will be
republican, can elect two republican sena
tors, and it is understood that these two
republicans will be Senator Sherman and
ex-Gov. Foraker. It seems that For
aker, instead of being a dead political duck
on account of the ballot-box scandal, is
a pretty lively one, and he is threatening to
push Sherman aside and succeed him in the
Senate.
In order to save Sherman this scheme to
oust Brice has been concocted, and it may
be that Sherman has influence enough in
tbe Senate to insure its success.
It would oertainly be a great outrage to
unseat Brice. The question of bis citizen
ship, having been passed upon by the legis
lature which elected him, ought to be re
garded as settled. But the republicans do
not admit that anything is settled where
there is a chance for them to gain an ad
vantage by partisan work. They admitted
the republicans into the Senate from Mon
tana in order to hold their majority in that
body, though it was notorious that demo
crats were elected by the lawful legislature
of Moutana. Aud now it is proposed to
commit auother political outrage by un
seating Senator Brice.
Barrison’s Fight Will Be Hard.
Unless we except Mr. Rutherford B.
Hayes, of hen husbandry renown, no man
who has officially occupied the executive
mansion at Washington within the long
period that tbe republicans have had oon
trol of the government bas excited so much
rancorous opposition within his own party
as has President Harrison. Except those
who have been directly or indireotly pro
pitiated with offices or patronage nobody
seems to have a word of praise for him. In
dependent and influential members of his
party appear to be undisguisedly hostile.
“Toward Harrison,” said Senator Wol
cott in a recent interview, “I find but one
sentiment all over the country—that we
have had him four years, and we have bad
him four years too much.” Continuing the
senator assorted that he finds such a feeling
as strong in the east os in the west. All of
these spasmodic little “booms for Harrison
come from tbe newspapers whose proprie
tors have been appointed to office,” the
senator declares.
These acoummulating ominous signs of
approaching disaster may go far to account
for the recent eagerness that Mr. Harrison
has manifested to cultivate and subsidize the
most unscrupulous of the republican ma
chine politcians whom he at first showed a
disposition to snub or ignore. Possibly
some faint conception of his own political
weakness may finally have penetrated the
dense growth of his egotism. Or possibly a
really sincere friend has managed by some
extraordinary process to convey to the
presidential mind that the chances for re
publican suocess in the next national cam
paign are not brilliant at best and would be
irreparably damaged by any oontentious
spirit that might be shown in the conven
tion by men who are not strong enough to
command strong party support there with a
good prospect of subsequently oarrying the
country. Hence the suddenly manifested de
sire of the President to strengthen his fences
all along the line.
Inheriting a large fortune has proven
somewhat in the nature of a plague to Miss
Cook, of Pittsburg, the girl who was lately
bequeathed $300,000 by her grandfather.
Ever since it was first known she has beea
assailed by all sorts of scheming sharps
who wished to help her take care of it. So
importunate did they finally become that
she was forced to leave home to evade them.
Some of them actually had the audicity to
threaten her. Probably she finds that
wealth involves rather heavy responsibil
ities.

the market.
But “Old Hutch” Forgave the Boy.
" Mid Hutch’ is just as prominent a figure
upon the board of trade In Boston os he was in
Chicago," said a broker from the Hub to the
Chicago Mail yesterday. “When he first ap
peared in the city he wore the same old familiar
Prince Albert black ooat and began work on the
board in that garb; but a day or two later ho
entered tbe chamber dressed In a brand new,
light colored summer suit of the cutaway pat
tern. Every one noticed the change, and the
old man became a target for the messenger
boys, one of whom immediately pinned a
placard to the ex-Chicagoan’s coat tails bearing
the question: ‘Where did you get that suit?’
When one of the board members xindly relieved
him of this placard the old gentleman waxed
wroth to think that he had thus been made the
butt of the youngsters merriment. Business had
but fairly opened before the old man discov
ered that his back had been ornamented with
another placard and taking off bis coat he un
pinned from it a piece of pasteboard bearing
the legend: “Ob, carry me back to my old arm
chair in Chicago." This was too much and the
old speculator immediately stepped into the pit
and demanded that all business should be sus
pended. It was done, too. Then be made a
brief but characteristic speech in which he
asked that the guilty party who had thus
openly insulted him should be summarily dis
charged Of course it was a very easy matter
to locate the little culprit and he was inconti
nently bounced instanter. Then business was
resumed.
“The old man took quite an active part in the
dealing and evidently soon forgot all about
this rather unusual accident. An hour later
as he was leaving the building he noticed a
sturdy little ohap whose cheeks were wet with
crying, and who seemed to be in the deepest
distress. Tbe boy started up aud attemptedto
run when he saw the tall figure approachsng,
but Old Hutch' brought him to anchor by a
stern exclamation : ’Here: Come here! Where
are you going? Come here, I s-.v! Now then
what’s up? What's the matter?’
" ‘Oh, sir, I needed the money—indeed I did—
and now I’ve lost tny job forever ' sobbed the
little fellow.
“ ‘What job ? Oh. come now, brace up. You
can’t win in this world by crying, my boy.
Maybe matters aren’t half so bad as you
imagine they are. ’
“ ’lt was only a joke, sir, and I did not intend
any harm—really I didn't; hut it s too late to
talk about that now —my job’s gone.’ And tbe
youngster began crying afresh.
" -Why don’t you go to him, then, and tell
Dim just how the matter stands? Maybe he
wili take you back again when he understands
the situation.
“ ’I don’t understand you, sir ’
“’Why, go back to your employer and tell
him ail about it. That's the only to do
now.’
“ ‘They would never listen to me, sir. But
>f—if you—if you would only tell ’em that you
didn’t care so very much about it after all ’
“‘l!’
‘Yes. if you please, sir. Oh, if you only
would! I didn’t intend any harm when I pinned
that card ’
‘"Ah! Aha! So that’s it, is it? I see. So
you’re the young scapegrace, are you, who
tacked those cards on iny back? Served you
just right! Thought you were smart, I suppose.
Regular boy s trick. Deserved to lose your job.
Just like a boy, though—just like a boy.
CouM’nt expect anything else of ’em.’
"The old speculator turned to walk away,
hesitated, stopped, remained buried in thought
for a full minute, and then said quietly: ‘You
are out of a job now?"
“A sob was the boy’s only answer.
“ ’What have they been paying you ?’
“ ‘Seventy-five cents a day.’
“ ‘Well, I guess you ought to be able to earn
$1 a day then if you work forme. When the
board opens to morrow morning I’ll give you
enough to do to keep you ont of mischief.
Come to me then. Now run home and wash
your faoe, there's a good boy.’
“And as the little fellow brightened up,
brushed away his tears, and ran off to tell his
companions all about his great good fortuno.
be seemed to bs not a whit happier than the
old man himself.”
From Hot to Cold.
Marcus Daly, the rich miner and crafty poli
tician of Montana, stood in front of the Audi
toriurn yesterday when the sun s rays were hot
test, says the Chicago Herald. He was waiting
for a carriage and wishing for winter. It soemed
as if every acquaintance that said something to
him said something about the warm day, and
this was becoming tiresome. Presently a fresh
young man with a salmon-colored suit and silver
headed cane came out of the hotel. Noticing
the famous Montanan trying to cool himself
with a hankerchief, be said:
“Good morning, Mr. Daly.”
“Morning.”
“Hot, isn’t it?”
"What say*" asked the politician as he al
most looked through the young man.
“I say it’s quite hot."
"Didn’t quite get you," and he put his hand to
his ear.
“I said," and the fellow yelled, “it’s not,
quite hot?”
“Step into the hotel a moment." Tne tw o
men walked inside the hotel, and Mr. Daly
said: “You have Known me for three or four
years "
“Y'es, sir."
“Never doubted my sanity?”
"Never " ’5
"Never saw me otherwise than sober*’’ i
“Never.”
“Well, you see my collar is faded?”
“Y’es.”
“You can see that I am perspiring*”
“Certainly.”
“Feel a trifle warm yourself ?’’
“Yes, indeed.”
"Then you know it is hot. Everybody knows
it’s hot. People are alive. Now what reason
have you for running up to me and asking if it
is hot? We are a little slow in Montana, but
there are some things we know. I bid you good
day.”
Razzled the Barber.
The cheekiest man of the season has been
fostnd He entered a local Darber shop not far
from the city hall yesterday afternoon, says
tae Manchester Union, and askod if he might
wash his face. The tonsorial juggler said, “Of
course.”
“I’d like a cleap towel, if you please,” said
the stranger, suavely.
One could have heard a pin drop as the
barber acquiesced and handed him a clean
towel.
"May I brush my hair?" said the fastidious
caller, as he stepped toward a looking-glass.
The barber left his customer, aud pinched him
self to see that he was really alive.
“You have a good, Clear glass here; now. just
a little oil for mr hair. There!" said the
stranger as he rolled Corinthian bangs on his
marble white brow.
The barber opened his mouth wider.
“Now, just a little wax on my mustache,”
said the visitor He suited the action to the
word and twisted the ends of his mustache to
his satisfaction.
"I am much obliged, sir," said the extra nice
stranger, as he adjusted his hat, strolled to the
door and disappeared.
A liberal fanning and application of cool
water relieved the proprietor, and it was an
hour or two before he fully recovered.
An Unprepared Flight.
Mr. Depew prepares his speeches and com
mits them to memory, says tbe Chicago
Tribune, before their delivery. He never so
much as uses a note to refresh his memory.
But he seldom fails to say something which is
not in his "advaooe copy.” One of the best
climaxes in his Galena speech last Wednesday
was on Napoleon, which did not appear in the
oration as he wrote it. The most humorous thing
he said was not in Ms printed address. He bad
been telling bis audience that in 1,000 years
from now only two men of this epoch would
be remembered—Lincoln and Grant. There
was a sweep of distance and altitude in the
thought which made hi* listeners stand almost
breathless. The orator evidently thought he
had carried them too far from toe earth, and
after a short stop be added: "That’s bad for
ue."
The crowd caught the wit and gave him a
hurrah mingled with laughter. Mr. Depew
laughed himself, and concluded to give them
some more. "However,” he continued, “it be
hooves us to keep on and get there just the
same," which caused another storm of laughter
to break over the scene.

A queer strike of street car drivers is re

rated because the mules had reoeived no food
for four days. The company claims it was una

funds or a scarcity of feed is not stated.
A LITTLE humming bird is said to be making

every Sunday, when the family goes to the din

Evidence of the near approach of the silly
season is furnished by the great increase in the
number of bear, snake and other such stories
on the rounds. One exchange contains stories
about a hunter throwing powder in the wool of
an attacking bear and igniting tbe explosive;
about a child that vomited a spider; about a
fight between bees and a snake, in which the
bees came off successful, and lastly, about a
snake that was resting in a tree surrounded by
a flock of birds that it had charmed.
A Boston girl says that when she is married
again she will choose a Friday in March instead
of a day in June, so that the event may have
some distinction. To be one of a dozen brides
in a week gave her a stifled feeling. And a
Buffalo girl who wife led to the altar this month
confesses to much of the same feeling. So nu
merous have been the weddings that when the
announcement of her own nuptials appeared in
the morning paper, it was positively swallowed
up in a column of other wedding notices, and
she felt that in some way the affair lacked eclat.
A Cincinnati, Wabash and Michigan railway
passenger train had a remarkable experience at
Goshen. Ind., the other day. The north bound
noon express struck a half open switch within
sight of the station and the engine aud three
coaches slid off on to the ties. After tearing
along over the sleepers for five or six Irani
lengths the pilot wheels struck the plank pav
ing aud guard rail at Madison street crossing
and guided the locomotive hack on tbe rails
Every car followed, and the train righted Itself
and pulled into the station without serious
break. The passengers were badly frightened,
but were uninjured, save for a severe jostling
over car seats.
Will 8 Barnes, the blonde Adonis of the
turf, has sold his half interest in the cele
brated Pepper distillery to James E. Pepper, of
Hotel Metropole fame. This makes that fight
ing Kentuckian sole proprietor of the famous
whisky that bears his name. Mr. Pepper pays
$35,000 in horses and $65,000 in money for
Barnes’ half. The latter’s young wife owns a
magnificent farm near this city, and he will
engage in breeding thoroughbreds. “Bill”
Barnes is, perhaps, the best known liquor
drummer and turfman in America. He has
placed Pepper whisky on sale bn every race
track in the United States, and there is not

A writer in the Boston Post was recently In
the stable yard belonging to a friend who bad a
considerable collection of dogs, among which
are a fierce terrier and a spaniel of tender age
The terrier had ill-treated the pup on several
occasions, so that the latter was very wary of
him, and disposed to conciliate his enemy if
possible. The terrier is fond of playing with
small sticks. which the grooms are in the habit
of throwing for him, and the pup seems to have
understood this fancy and to have acted upon
it. I saw him take up a small stick in bis
mouth and advance toward the terrier with it
arching his neck and wagging his tail, as much
as to say: "Pray accept this slight token of my
regard The terrier did accept it; he rushed
up to the iittie dog. took the stick and went on
his way rejoicing, and the pup was justified in
his wisdom.
Randall Douglass, a Scotchman, has written
a long letter to the Chicago News about the
ancestors of Gordon Gumming, in the course of
which he says: “Ronaleyn Gordon-Cumming,
the famous 'lion hunter of Africa ' was au
uncle of the present baronet. An aunt was also
a traveler of renown and the writer of several
notable books of travel. The Oumming-Bruces
have been in the English parliament since the
date of the reform bill. The Gordon-Cummings
are not as wealthy as they might have beeo,
owing to the gambling propensities of tbe
grandmother of the present baronet, whose
love of whist led her im-o playing fer high
stakes, sometimes amounting to $5,000 a point.
One mgbt she lost thirty-two points—sl6o,ooo.
The present baronet is the owner of two fine
estates, and has au income of about SIOO,OOO a

William the Conqueror.
Platonic friendship between a man and
woman can exist. It exists many times, says a
Chicago Herald writer, until a man ig foolish
enough to tell her a love story of his own—and
some other woman. I overheard a woman tell
ing another woman all about it the other day.
They were at a table back of me in a restau
rant.. She said: “We have been the best friends
for years. I had never thought of being in love
w ith him nor he with me, If I wanted to go
anywhere, and had no one to escort me, I would
always send for him. and he seemed so pleased
to come. Then to have him coma and tell me
all about his having been engaged to that
woman at that time! I will never forgive him
for it. And, indeed, I’ll not call upon her. He
is at liberty to marry, and marry her or any one
else, but be need not think I am willing to take
up any woman simply because he is in love
with her. Men are so conceited. Without
doubt he has been thinking I've been on toe
verge of loving him, if I haven’t already. Heis
the only platonic friend I ever had, and I do it
want another ”
W. J. Ingram of Berlin, Germany, was ar
rested in Buffalo, N, Y-, last week on a warrant
sworn out by Cosack A Cos., lithographers. In
gram is an expert lithographer and the in
ventor of a process said to be a remarkable ad
vance in the art. He came from Berlin a few
mouths ago under contract with Oosack /t Cos.
to introduce and establisn the process in their
large works. In consideration of this he was to
receive a large sum of money, ana he drew on
this in advance. Cosack AGo found that they
were not coming into possession of hia secret
very rapidly, ana pressed him to divulge it in
toto at once. He declined to do so, and finally
flatly refused to give up the formu a. After
waiting for a long time to try to bring about a
compromise, Cosack & Cos. secured his
arrest on s charge of grant! larceny, as he re
fused to keep his contract. Ingram maintains
that the price is insufficient and that the com
pany demands more or his professional secrets
than he agreed to sell them. Ingram can speak
English. He is in jaiL Some believe that he is
the possessor of no secret process and that heis
practicing a clever swindle akin to the one so
extensively practiced a few years ago by an
alleged inventor of dyes.
Says a Reading special to the St. Louls.Giohe-
Demuerat: In a iittie, old-fashioned one story
log house near Weasnersvllle live four wealthy
aud aged bachelor brothers, who are veritable
woman haters. They are Benjamin, Michael,
Nathan and Samuel Kunkel. respectively 80, 78.
70 and 81 years old. They own a valuable farm
and have $40,000 out at interest, but still they
do all their farm work and housework unaided,
and will not consent to employ any woman in
any capacity or have any association whatever
with the gentler sex. The Kunkel family in
cluded two sisters after the death of the par
ents. The sisters never married, but resided
with their brothers in tho ancestral homestead
They suddenly avoided the companionship of
men, as their brothers do that of woman. Ten
years ago tbe sisters died, and since
then tbe brothers here lived among
themselves, industrious and contented. They
seldom leave home, and then only for a lew
hours to transact business at the nearest village
Besides carefully tilling their 156 rich acres, they
take turns in doing the regular family washing,
baking cooking, churning, sewing and all the
other domestic services incident to conducting a !
household. They keep everything about the
farm and house scrupulously neat aud tidy.
They have the reputation of making the fresh
est. richest and yellowest bettor in tho neigh
borhood, aud their bread and pies are pro
nounced by casual visitors to be simply
unnvale ! By mutual arrangement they have
agreed to keep their accumulated wealth among
themselves as long as there is a survivor. They
are all deeply religious, and, no doubt, the sur
vivor of the four, in accordance with their
known wishes, will eventually bequeath their
combined estate to charitable objects.
