The revolutionists in Nicaragua are in control of the eutire country and have set up a new government. The b\vnr opened April 27th, and did not last a month. Sensational journalism in Texas is fully ripe. You know it is when the daily press announces that an editor in that state was recently robbed of $250.00.

If she gets off into politics, as many of them wish to,she will have to hustle.—Post. The Nicaraguan minister at Wash ington bolds New York City respon sible for the recent revolution in Nicaragua. New York is big enough to know better than to jump on the small boy like that. Colonel Livingston is right. If he is not to be allowed to say something about the appointments for his dis trict, why be should establish quar ters aud place himself on exhibition as a Congressional figure-head.—Al bany Herald. A lot of office seekers scared up a rabbit in the White House yard at Washington and about forty of them gave chase to it in hopes of getting a hind foot for luck.

New York, May 17.—Public attan- tion is again called bv one of the news papers to the large number of policy shops engaged in business in this city. Superintendent Byrnes boasted some time ago that all these dens of robbery had been closed up, but the Sunday Advertiser claims to have discovered that over 1,000 of them are doing busi ness openly. It is estimated that the victims lose at th* minimum $25,000 daily in their efforts to get rich without rendering any equivalent in labor.

Turley, some days since, murdered Conductor L. F. Price, and since then exciteitfent has been high and a lynching was momentarily expected. The crime was committed on account of conductor Price refusing to recognize an expired pass that Turley presented, the latter shooting him with a 38 cali bre revolver. Turley was taken from his cell and carried into the jail yard, where he was swung to a convenient tree. The lynchers quietly dispersed after accomplishing their purpose, leaving the victim to the authorities to dispose of. Washington Notes.

Bridgeport, Conn., May 17.—Mamie Lynch, employed in the carriage fac tory in this city, was made the victim of a practical joke a few days ago and she is now confined to her bed as the result of the 6care she received. At this same factory a few weeks ago Mamie Butler was put on a harrel by her companions and rolled about, and for weeks hovered between life and death from the terrible fright she re ceived. Etta Jamison, who is employed in the same room with the Lynch girl, bought a toy snake made of paper and took it to the factory. It was so arranged that it should come through the machinery where Mamie Lynch was working. ■When she saw the head of the snake with month wide open, the girl uttered a cry and ran from the room. The Jamison girl with the snake in her hands pursued her, running from one room to another until, exhausted, Ma mie Lynch fell to the floor. She was taken home and since that time has been confined to her bed, her reason shattered and the chances of her recov ery in doubt. That Indiana Break Not Bad. Indianapolis, May 17.—State Bank Examiner Packard reports that so far as the examination of tne Capital Na tional bank has proceeded, the national bank examiner has found more cash and pape- equivalent to cash on hand than reported either by the president or cashier. The examination will require two or three days to complete. The state bank examiner has been requested by Deputy Comptroller of Currency Tucker to co-operate with Examiner Young.

Keene’s Lucky Stars. New York. May 17.—It is alleged as a bit of inside history of the big crash in National Cordage that James R. Keene is $1,500,000 winner.

Fort Worth, Tex., May 17.—About two months ago the city sold $158,000 in bonds for refunding purposes.
