Senator Dan Voorhees, who died in Washington City the other day, was the most im=provident and prodigal man I ever saw,” said H. L. Allen of Terre Haute. Though his income was large for fifty years, yet if he had not had the most faithful friends, who watched him in the use of money as parents do a child playing with fire, I dont believe he ever would have had cash enough in his pockets or in bank to pay for a new suit of clothes when it. became necessary to buy one. “Several yearsago I was delegated to accompany him on one of his fam- ous campaign tours in Indiana. Some- body always. had to go along with him to see that he didn’t throw all his mon- ey away at the first stopping place. I got on very well with him until we reached Newcastle. When we got to the hotel I cOunted his money. .He had a $50 bill, a $5 bill, and $3 in silver. A blind woman with two children was singing for alms in front of the hotel. The-re was wonderful pathos in her voice, that stirred the great heart of Voorhees to its depths. Our room was on the first floor, and she stationed herself squarely in front of our win- dow. Before she had finished her first song Veerhees raised the window and dropped his $3 in silver in the out- stretched hands of one of her children. I had to go to the postofiice for our mail. My absence wrecked us finan- cially. I was one about ten min- utes. then I got back to the room Voorhees was in tears and his money was all gone. He had given both the $5 and the $50 bill to the woman, and she was singing for more—though, of course, she didn’t know how much he had given her. “I dared not take it from her, though we were strapped, except fora few dollars I had. “ ‘Allen, the Senator said to me, wiping the tears away. ‘God robbed that woman of her eyesight, but he gave her the sweetest and tenderest voice that ever thrilled me.’ “When I asked him what we were going to do for money his only reply was: “ ‘Oh, tutl’ ”—St. Louis Republic. GIVING AWAY HIS SECRET. T“ In Order to Pacify Mrs. Corntossel Her .. Husband Speaks Out.

All eyes were turned to the clock, and Mr. Webster remained silent until the clock struck about twenty, when he thus appealed to the Chair: “Mr. President, the clock is out of order! I have the floor” To say that a long and loud laugh from every Senator and person in the august chamber was indulged in is :1 faint description of the merrlment this exquisite pun produced.

SILVEF’. LAKE’S FAMOUS SERPENT A Joke Which Helped a Friend and Did No One Any Harm. Faxo-n was happiest when doing something to relieve the distress of another, and he was, moreover, great- ly given to practical joking. These two characteristics in him produced a hoax once that became famous at the time, and it was near about the same time that he caused Blondin to walk across Niagara. \ Faxon'hud a friend who went to Silver Lake, a beautiful body of water a few miles south of Buffalo and Rochester, in what was then a wild and picturesque country“ where he built a superb hotel, hoping to make the place a popular resort. This man’s fortune was expended in building and outfitting the hotel, but as people did not resort to the place in considerable numbers it failed of becoming much of a reso',1t and the man was about to be financially ruined. Faxon went to the place for a few days’ relaxation, and, seeing the condition of affairs, in- vented a scheme which his friend du- biously fell into, and the investment was saved. At Buffalo lived a young German tin-smith of an ingenious turn of mind. To him Faxon went, and under Fax- on’s direction an immense tin snake was secretly made, and so contrived that by the use of wires it would, un- der proper arrangements, go into ser- pentine writhings and open and shut its enormous mouth. This ‘controp- tion” was quietly taken to Silver Lake and so fixed in the water—which was very deep—that by wires Worked from the cellar of the hotel it would show it. self on the surface, snap its terrible mouth and dive down again. The snake being arranged in working order, Faxon went back to Bufialo, and in his paper printed, under great “scare heads, ” the story of the discov- ery of an enormous snake in Silver Lake. People visited the place by hun- dreds and then by thousands. The 110- tel and its barns and outbuildings of all kinds were filled with guests, and many people went there and camped on the shores of the lake, his snakeship coming to the surface at satisfactory intervals and doing his share of ,the work. So the fame of the Silver Lake snake went abroad. There came a body of savants of the school of Europe to see the famous ter- ror, and they saw it and pondered over it—but .-t a most respectful distance. Finally one day the wires broke, the snake floated to the surface and turned its white belly towardfihe sky, just like any other dead snake, and the great box: was exploded. But Faxon’s friend had saved his fortune and added to it, and Silver Lake became quite a resort after V,_all.—Chicago TiraesiHei'ald. ' ~ Useful Iud inn Lore. “People out West,” obseryed a Kan- sas Congressman, “have learned a number of things from the Indians, and many of them are of value. Prob- ably the most valuable has been in the matter of cyclones. We have learned that whenever a city or town was built on the site of an old Indian settlement, it has been free from any of the cy« clones which have now and then come along in the Western country. How the Indians were observant and smart enough to select sites for settlement. which have always escaped cyclones is more than we have been able to learn by study or investigation. but the fact remains that' the tow ms or cities on original Indian settlements are cy— clone- proof. “These towns which are located thus fortunately use their Indian origin as an advertisement and as a guarantee for settlement. Thus lots in an origi- nal Indian settlement town are sold for a. higher price and are in greater demand than in towns laid out by white men. It is rather rough on our intelligence, but it is dollars to pennies that it is right. The cyclone insurance company will insure a policy on houses in an Indian settlement for one-third the prices they charge for similar poli- cies in other seetions. They have found that it pays them better to is- sue the ,low-rute policies than other policies at the higher rate.”—VVashing— ton Star. The Word "‘ People.” There is one word which is misused by every journalist and every author Wherever the English language is writ- ten—the word “people.” Mr. Howells for instance, in one of his delightful novels speaks of “three people” sit- ting in. a room. Now, if two of these “people" were to withdraw, one “peo- ple” would be left—and very much left! It seems unnecessary to state— aind yet it is necessary to state it—-that “people” is a collective n.,oun and can properly be applied only to nation, a tribe, :1 class, a community. It is quite admissible to say, “How are your peo- ple?”—mean.i-11g your family, your clan; but such a phrase as “Fifty people were injured,” or “A hundred people were present,” are not convertible terms. For twenty-five years or more I have kept my eye on. this little word “people,” and I have yet to find a sin- gle American or English author who does not misuse it. In the course of 200 or 300 years the correct employ- ment of it may possibly become gen- eral.—New York Critic. .A Large Order. A herculean Scots Grey passing along Princess Street, Edinburgh, one day, stopped at the post-office, and called on a shoeblack to shine his shoes. The feet of the Dragoon were in pro- portion to his height, and, looking at the tremendous boots before him, the arab knelt down on the pavement and called out to a chum nearby: ‘ “Jamie, come ow’re and gie’s a hand; I’ve got an Army .contract!”-—Answers. ..., non w 0,1431? A. Poison FACTORY. A Terrible Place Where Deadly Drugs are DIanufactured. In London is a strange establishment behind a‘ wilderness of warehouses and tumbledown tenements, in a re- mote suburb. Its massive gates are locked and jealously guarded. A‘ visit- or must not only be careful where he steps and refrain from touching, he must also breathe with great caution. One of the terrible poisons manufac- tured here is pure anhydrous acid, a drug seldom seen outside a chemical laboratory” This is the deadliest of all known poisons. The discoverer was stricken dead from inhaling its fumes. From 3 to 5 per cent. of this chemical added to 95 01' 97 parts water makes prussic acid. This diluted poison causes instant death, even when taken in minute quantities. ' Next to anhydrous acid, the worst poison they make is cyanide of potas- sium. Last year they turned out over 1,000 tons of it. Five grains being a fatal dose, the annual output would be sufficient to kill 2,500,000 people. In the work room, where men are gath- ered around a witch’s caldro-n contain- ing over a hundred weight of molten cyanide, a strange picture is presented. The seething mass of white- hot liquid poison, with the lambent play of the furnace fires, the phantom faces of the workmen enveloped in an uncanny— looking mask, peering into the heart of the dreadful mixture through the thick atmosphere, are a terrible sight. In another room, where are tons of the finished product, looking like crystal- ized sugar, “good enough to eat,” one man is never allowed alone. For some inexplicable reason it exercises a strange fascination for the men who inhale its fumes. They are haunted by a desire to eat it. But, knowing that satisfying the craving means instant death, most, but not all, are able to resist it. Aside from this fascination its manufacture is not conside “ed 1111- l1e..1thy. The same cannot be said of corrosive sublim'ate. Its fumes are deadly—Chicago Inter-Ocean. MON EY lN WASPS. l‘he Way They Built Their Homes of Ben; efit to a. North Carolina Farmer. Along the banks of the Cape Fear river, in North Carolina, are lowlands, behind which lies a higherlevel, or bench. The lowlands are subject to more or less frequent overflows by freshets, which are destructive to crops planted therein. A number of years ago a farmer, resident in the vi- cinity, made a very comfortable sum of money by insuring his neighbors’ crops against these f'reshets. His un- vurying success as an insurer was for many years a profound mystery to the people of the region. The years when he declined to insure were invariably years of destructive overflow. The years when he was Willing to insure were equally certain to be seasons of - exemption from disaster. Observation had shown him that a certain species of wasp, which built its home in the ground, built some years on the lowlands. and other years upon the higher level. Experience taught him that when the wasps built on the lowlands there were no freshets, and when they built on the higher ground, the lower would, some time during the season, be submerged. The nian had simply noted an instance of that little understood prescience manifested by certain insects and animals, a better knowledge of which might even be of serviCe to our national weather bureau. It was only at his death that he re- vealed his secret.—New York Post. Cut These Out. The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them—Goethe.

G A 1".“ DEMANDS or 11111111 Reasonable Requests For Betterment of Their Condition. MAY ABOLISH CONTRACTORS Question of Wages Will Not Be Definitely Decided Just Now—Shorter Hours and ‘ 3 Weekly Rate .of Pay Desired. »- The Task System to Go. New York, May 21.——A mass meeting of the striking east side tailors ocCur- red this afternoon, at which the de- mands formulated by the- executive committee were presented and accept- ed. The tailors demand that they shall work not more than 59 hours a. week, instead of the 16 or 18 hours a day which they have recently been required to put in. They insist that they shall work by the week, and that the present task system shall be absolutely abolish- ed. They also require that only union hands shall be employed in the shop where they are engaged. These three demands are the basis of the conditions upon which they will declare the strike at an end. As ”to what wages shall he paid to them f01 a week’s work the tailors have not yet determined. They are willing to leave the scale of wages to be adjusted at a conference between themselves and their employers. They only ask that it shall be a medium scale, and that it shall be sufficiently high to keep them from starvation. Under the contract signed last August operators were to receive $18 a week. From all that can be learned the operators would now be perfectly satisfied if they could be cer- tain of making $15. They d the othe1 branches of the trade reah- e that these are hard times, and their leaders say that the strikers are willing to make reasonable concessions. It developed today that the strike now in progress may have the effect of rev- olutionizing the clothing trade system of this city. It is among the poSsibili- ties that it may be the means of doing away with the contractors, or middle- men, altogether. A representative of the manufacturing firm of Fleisheimer, Fischel & 00., one of the largest con- cerns in the city, called upon the execu- tive board of the brotherhood tailors and asked for an explanation of the causes and demands of the strike. Meyer Schoenfeld, the leader of the tailors, explained them to him in full. ' Manufacturers Sympathize. Then the representative said to Schoenfeld that the majority of the manufacturers were actually in sym- pathy with the strike and hoped that it would be successful. He realized, he said, that the condition of the tailors was almost pitiable and said that every one acknowledged that something must . be done to better it. He-then said that his firm was considering the plan of. doing its work inside—that is, of em- clothes made for it directly without the medium of the contractors. He said that there were a great many other firms that contemplated a similar move and wanted to know- whether such a scheme would meet with the approval of the strikers. Schoenfeld assured him that it was the very thing which the tailors most of all others desired, provided that the system could be generally introduced. The representative told Schoenfeld that he would confer with the manufactur- ers and report to him later what action they would take. The adoption of this system would be of benefit to both the manufacturers and the tailors. It would saVe the manufacturers the percentages which they now pay to the contractors, while, besides taking the tailors out of the sweatshops, it would make them the direct employers of par- ties who, being independent, would be in a position- to live up to their con- tracts. Altogether the-news that such a. change had been broached by the manufacturers caused the tailors more joy and gum them more confidence than anything which has occurred since the strike began. Mr. Bernard Isaacs of Bernard Isaacs & Co., manufacturers, at 4 Great Jones street, and James Tobias of James To- bias & Co., 100 Prince street, also called upon Schoenfeld. today and assured him of their sympathy and also of any sup- port they could reasonably give. Few Accessions. For the first time since the strike be— gan on last Sunday, today saw few additions-to the strikers’ ranks. A few men who had not hitherto been reached were called out. A number of women for want of work were also obliged to leave their places. The number of both, however, did not exceed 200. It is believed, on the other hand, that at least two more organizations will strike, forcing about 3,000 more men in- to idleness. The Pr6gressive tailors ar- ranged to hold a meeting at Liberty hall for the purpose of deciding what action they will take, and the Lithua- nian tailors will also meet for the ex- press purpose of ordering a. strike. The Lithuanians were erroneously reported to have gone out on last Tuesday. -.= German Emigration Bill. Berlin, May 21.-——The German reichs- tag, after advancing the new emigra- tion bill to a third reading, approved of the bill by a large majority.

London, May 20.-——Oscar Wilde, who was removed from Reading jail to Hol- loway prison last night, was released from the latter institution today, his sentence having expired. He was not greeted by any friends at the prison gates. He declined to make any state— ment beyond saying that he was men- tally tired, though his condition, both physically and mentally, had greatly improved within the last year. The prison physician said this morn- ing that Wilde’s confinement had been OSCAR WILDE. of great benefit to him, and that he is now normally sound. Wilde, he said, would go to the suburbs of London for a few days' rest and then go to Paris and perhaps to Italy. It is Wilde’s in- tention to write a play under a pseu- donym, though the authorship of the work will not be concealed. To a. friend Wilde said a day or two ago that he would not seek notoriety, but, on the other hand, he would not persistently seek solitude. It is reported that Wilde’s wife will now apply for a divorce, to which he will make no defense. Upon leaving the prison Wilde de- clined an offer of £1,000 to ngte his experiences while in confinement for a New York newspaper. THE DAVIS MILLIONS. A Convict’s Queer Story of the Existence of a Second \Vill. Butte, Mon” May 20. —-A stir has been cr_eated among the heirs of the Davis estate by the receipt of a letter from the American Tract society in New York inclosing another from Edwin Stoddard, an inmate of the Trenton penitentiary. Stoddard claims to have positive knowledge of the,existence of a will made by the late A. J. Davis, by which the American Tract American Bible society and American Board of Foreign Missions were each bequeathed $10,000 and by which $5,000,- 000 was set aside for a. university in Butte. Stoddard’s knowledge, he claims, comes from the fact that he had the will in his possession for a long time for the purpose of forging another will at the instance of some of the :legatees mentioned in it 'who were dissatisfied with their bequests. .The scheme for forgery, however, was not completed when he was sent to the penitentiary, and he only recently learned that the original will had not been probated. He says the will was executed in 1889 and is still in existence. . 1 , 3-1 The Floods Cost 814,500,000. l New Orleans, May 20.-—-It is thought that there will be no further damage done by the overflow.
