RED HAlR A DEFORMITV. Begarded‘by Some of the Scotch Peep]: ‘ \Vitli Strong Dislike. In a sketch of the estimate mankind has put upon yellow and red hair, a writer says that among some of the Highland clans red hair was regarded with so much aversion as to be con- sidered a positive deformity. An amus- ing instance of this is still kept in memory. A certain nobleman paid a visit to an old Highlander, and was in- troducedby him to his family, consist- ing of six fine, stalwart sons. The nobleman, however, happened to be aware that there were seven, and in- quired after the absent member. The old manssorrowfully gave him to un- derstand that an afiictive dispensation of Providence had rendered the sev- enth unfit to be introduced in coni- pany. "fAh, my peer fellow,” said the sympathizing visitor, "I_ see—some mental infirmity!” “On the contrary,” replied the father, “he is by far the’ clever-est of the family—there is noth- ing the matter with his mind.” “Oh, then, by all means, let me see. him,” said .the nobleman and while the old man went in quest of the unpre~ sentableyouth, he prepared a kind word for the cripple, whom he ex- pected to be produced. To his aston- ishment, however, the father returned, followed by a fine, tall, handsome, young fellow, by far the most prepos- sessing of the family. "Excuse me,” stammered the nobleman, “but I—in fact—I—see nothing the matter with him.” ~ the matter with him!” “Nothing niournfully exclaimed the afflicted parent; “nothing the matter with him! Look at his hair!" The nobleman looked; sure enough, his hair was red! ’ "Ah, that explains,” he readily ex— claimed to the relief of the youth, “the reason why he is by far the clevcrest 0f the family.” An explanation of the origin of this bitter aversion may be found in some quarrel between the different clans. since there were clans in which red hair predommated—Chicago Inter- Ocean. \ LEGAL FEES. A Lawyer Paid Himself as a Stimulus to Transact; His Own Business. 'A would-be client once wrote to Par- sons, the American advocate, stating a case for his opinion, and inclosing a $20 note. The other did not reply; whereupon the man wrote a second let- ter. Then Parsons answered that he had read the case and formed his opinion, but somehow or other “it stuck in his throat.” “'hereupon, the man, perceiving what was amiss, in- closed a $100 note, and got the opinion. Nobody does anything well for noth- ing, and certainly not a lawyer. Lord Mansfield was so sensible of this that when, on one occasion, he had to attend to some professional business of his own, he took some guineas out' of his purse and put them into his waistcoat pocket to give him the re- quisite stimulus. Sir Anthony Malone, an Irish Attorney General, was so im- prudent as to omit this precaution, and, as Mr. Croake James informs us, was grievously punished for it, for he was so inattentive as regards some property he Delight for himself that he lost £3,000 a year by it. In future he caused his clerk to make an abstract of the title deeds of any property he bought, and lay it before him with a fee of 5 guineas, properly indorsed, which the clerk was scrupulously to account for, after which Sir Anthony made no more mistakes, as regarded, at least, his own affairs—London Il- lustrated News. How He Proposed. “The best ‘dinner yarn’ that I ever heard,” observed a woman at a Boston dinner party recently. “was the story of the young man who was much in love with a certain young woman, but hadn’t the courage to tell her so. One evening they were dining out together, and it so happened that a hated rival took the girl ,to dinner. The rival’s manner made the bashful lover suspect that the rival intended to propose to the girl that very evening. As the din- ner progressed the lover became abso— lutely sure of this. and, spurred on by necessity, he resolved to put his own fortune to test, and at once. Tearing a leaf from his notebook he according- ly scribbled a line or two, folded it, and gave it to the nearest servant with a ‘Hand that to the lady in blue.’ (There was fortunately but one such at the table, or matters might have been complicated.) The girl received the note, opened it, and read: ‘Will you be my wife?’ followed by his name. He had forgotten to send the pencil, however. But the girl was as ready as the man was lacking, and she turning to the servant and said, calm- ly: ‘Just tell the gentleman Yes.’ ”— New York Commercial Advertiser.

LARGE CROWD ATTHE DEPOT The Coming Chief Executive In Good Health and Spirits—His Graceful Compliment to the Engineer. No Public Reception Held. WASHINGTON, March 3.—Prosident§El‘ect McKinley, with his family and a large party of friends, arrived safely in the Cap- ital City today over the Pennsylvania rail- road. The was: her was cheerful and bright, with warm sunshine over all and a temperature if anything too high to be seasonal‘le. A large crowd had assembled at the Pennsylvania station long before the train arrived, and it required the efforts of a. considerable force of police to keep clear the approaches to the station. There was a good deal of disappointment. expressed among these people over the absence of military in the escort, but it was by spe- cial request of the president elect that such occasion. So the crowd had to be content with the sight of the magnificently attired stafi‘ of Governor Bushnell. of Ohio in place of the expected military parade. Only a few persons had been admitted within the inclosure at the 'station where the train was to stop. There was Chairman Bell of the execu- tive commit-to,» with Reception Committee- men Barrett, Parker, Glover, Norris, LOW- ell and Brit-ton specially designated as a subcommittee to receive the presidential party in place of the full committee. Gov- ernor Bushnell and staff were' present in uniform. J. Addison Porter, who will be the presi- dent’s secretary, was early on hand, hav— ing hurried away from the White House for the purpose. He was to look after the personal comfort of the president elect. But, as he himself said, he had little to do in this direction, thanks to the well ar- ranged programme of "the executive com- mittee and the hearty co-operation of the police authorities. About a minute behind the. schedule time the special train came rolling into the station amid the cheers of a number of spectators who had gathered at the low- er end of the big shed to watch for its ap- pearance. As soon as the cars came to a stop Governor Bushnell boarded the train, entering car No. 38, where the president elect and the members of his immediate family were in waiting. The executive committee also paid their respects to the incoming chief magistrate, and withOut delay the party started for the carriages, which at once conveyed them to the Ebbitt House. Notwithstanding the long journey and the broken night, nearly all of the party looked fresh and bright. The president elect in particular appeared to be in the best of spirits, and those who gazed in his face for signs of the illness from which he has suffered very recently looked in vain for any sign of distress or impaired vitality. McKinley’s Graceful Act. It was generally remarked by the onlook- ers that he was certainly stouter and of better complexion than when he was last seen in Washington. Mrs. McKinley also appeared to advantage. She was aitired in a. dark traveling garb, and hap iness beamed from every lineament as she came forth into the bright. sunshine on the open platform. After a short greeting to some immediate friends who stood near the party formed 'a line and started through the station. Messrs. Parker and Barrett, tall, robust men, came just behind the po- lice wh‘o cleared the way down the plat- form. ‘The president elect, with Mrs. Mc— Kinley holding closely to his arm, came next, with Chairman Bell and Mr. J. Ad- dison Porter on either side to protect them from the pressure of the crowd. Colonel Britton with the greatest care escorted Mrs. McKinley, Sn, mother of the presi- dent; elect, and the remainder of the party took their places in the line just as they alighted from the cars, the staff of the governor of Ohio bringing up the rear. As he passed the head of the train Major McKinley did a graceful thing which was quickly appreciated by the crowd. He paused, beckoned to one of the party who bore aloft a great bouquet. of cut flowers, and, carefully selecting from it some white carnations of wonderful size, he handed them to the engineer, all grimy and per- splring, who sat aloft in his cab. Mr. McKinley, once inside the hotel, on- tered an elevator, the gray clad boy in charge grinned comprehensively, pulled the rope and sent the car shootingsky- ward, and Secretary Porter, heaving a sigh of relief, raised a much ruflled silk hat in grave salute to his disappearing chief and then elbowed his way over to the entrance of the ladies’ parlor to receive the gentle maledictions of a crowd of ladies penned in behind the policemen, the disappointed declaring the secretary “too mean for anything.” Behind the presidential carriage there followed a score of other conveyances with the rest of the Canton party and Gov- ernor Bushnell’s staff. They were all safe- ly landed in the hotel, and the section of the house reserved for them was guarded against the intrusion of the crowd. Major McKinley received a few friends quite in- formally and then settled down to rest; and a light luncheon, but there was no semblance of a public reception. Vice President Elect Garret; A. Hobart. and his party arrived here this afternoon, and the former, after going to his hotel, paid his respects to Major McKinley. President Cleveland In Bed.

Barrett of the ap- pellate division of the supreme court, his associates have forwarded a petition to Governor Black asking him to designate Judge Alton B.

This action was taken in order that Judge Barrett; may have complete rest until his condition warrants his return to his duties. Pearl Clifton Accused of Arson.
