O’SULLIVAN, MANAGER» \ " M’MILLIN Accuses BAILEY, 3 Says the House Monetary Leader is Guilty of Political Crimes. Washington, -D. (3., Nov. 28.-—Con- gressman Benton McMillin of Tennes- see, who has always been one of the prominent leaders of the Democratic party in the House, is out in opposi- tion to Congressman Bailey of Texas. He speaks in the most vigorous fash- ion against the Texan, and intimates that he acted the part of a traitor to the Democratic party on more occas- lons than one. “The Democrats of the country,” said Mr. McMillin, “do not know Mr. Bailey yet. They are only beginning to find him out. I was severely censured sev- eral months ago for opposing Mr. Bai- ley on the very same grounds that the Texan is now being fought. Mr. Bai- ley is guilty of all sorts of political crimes. .1 M1. McMillin then went on to explain Mr. Bailey’s conduct and vote in the committee on ways and means when the Dingley tariff bill was being con- sidered. “I moved in committee,” said Mr. McMillin, “that the clause relating to wool and woolens be stricken out and that the corresponding section of the Wilson law be inserted in its stead. The duties as fixed by the Wilson law were far more equitable and far more in accord with the estabiished Demo— cratic doctrine. I demanded a yea. and nay vote on that measure in commit- tee and Mr. Bailey is 011 record as voting with the Republicans." Mr. McMillin intimated that Mr. Bal- ley voted this way as 1a result of an understanding with the Republicans, who, he said, clearly encouraged his leadership. M1. McMillin said that Speaker Reed helped Bailey by appointing him to de- sirable committee positions. Mr. McMillin says he believes that Bailey stands only a faint Show of be— ing elected leader of the minority in the next House. The breaking away of the Alabama delegation he regards as significant, and he believes that the Mississippi delegation will support,Pri- vate John Allen for the position of Democratic leader.

AMERICAN ARRESTED IN BERLIN. Accused of Having Referred in Offensive Manner to the Emperor. Berlin, Nov. 28.—Frank Knaak of New York has been arrested here on the charge of lese majeste, said to have been committed in a wineshop recently. Mr. Knack was anestcd while sit- ting with his wife in a fashionable restaurant. It is alleged that he referred in an offensive manner to the emperor, and a person who heard him immediately summoned a policeman. Although Mr. Knaak had several witnesses who denied that he had made the alleged remark, he was thrown into jail. The‘ officials of the United States embassy have done everything possi- ble to bring about his release and a. large amount of ball has been offered. J. B.

In capturing monkeys, village situated a short distance how the Panama railroad. men could bear the climate. with tropical vegetation. At night fever, which hangs own the woods like a cloud. This region of woods is the para. disc of the monkeys. They travel in troops, led by an older monkey. When the people receive information that the “travelling monkey troops” an near the village they go to the wood: in crowds to chase. them. Their plan is very simple. They cu! a hole in a cocoanut large enough f01' a monkey’s paw to enter. then hollowed out, and apiece 0: sugar is placed in it. A piece 01 string is then fastened to it, and it 15 placed in the road of the approaching monkeys. It is well known that monkeys an very inquisitive. When they see the cocoanu't in the grass they hurry tc examine it. It does not take their long to find out that the inner part contains apiece of sugar. One of ths boldest and greediest sticks «a paw in- to the nut to get the sugar, and grasps It as firmly as he can. But his list is so large that :he cannot draw it out ol the hole again, with the sugar, tc which lie holds fast, cost what it may. Te natives now 'pull the string un til nut and monkey ar1ive in the vi- cinity of their ambusca'dc. In the meantime the other monkeys woudci what is the matter with their c0111- 1'ade. They hurry to see where he is being pulled to, with his paw in the coconnut. They crowd around him chatféring and gesticulating, and the natives, who have a large not ready, cast .it over them, and before they know it all are prisoners. They are sold to the emplo-yes of the Panama railroad, and reach the, North Ameri- can marke-ts through commercial (leale1's.——Philadclphia Times. The Yourn’s I’redlcument.

" One of the Many Good Stories That Min- isters Have To Relate. Ministers generally have a stock of copal rectory in this city not long ago, It was a. very stormy night and the I bride and groom arrived alone about The inhabitants of this district are. 9 o’clock, mostly native negrocs, for few whitel The , little bride was almost worn out with whole region is marshy, and covered 3 fatigue amd nervousness. The out iii ehavlng‘had to walk a long way against the storm, and the poor After a few words explaining the there arises a thick vapor laden with' service to the couple, the minister put on his surplice and began the cere- mony. All went beautifully until the question, “Eliza, will you have this man to be your wedded husband, etc,” came upon the scene. The minister read it through with his most kindly 'and fatherly air, but when he finished the bride was dumb—not a word could he get out of .her. The long question was repeated, the minister’s voice taking ‘on 'a most insinuating rise toward its end, but still there was silence. Before the groom had seemed flus- tered, but his feelings then were noth- ' ing to what they appeared to be at the second halt. With an . admonishinp; kick that ' reached to the rector and made him rub his unlucky shine, the irate bride- groom anrnounccd in a loud stage whisper, “Darn you, Liza, why don‘t you speak up and tell him yes?” And wonders will never cease, for even after such an exhibition of her future lord and master’s temper, ’Liza spoke, and all she said was “yes." The Little Things Great Men Do. I like to hear stories of. the little- ness of great men. I like to think that Shakespeare was fond of his glass. 1 even cling to the tale of that disgrace‘ ful final orgie with friend Ben Jonson. Possibly the story may not be true, but I hope it was. I like to think of 'him as poacher. as village ne’er—dowel], denounced by the local grammar school master, preached at by the local J. P. of the period. I like to reflect that Cromwell had a wart on his nose; the thought makes me more contented with my own features. 1 like to think that he put sweets upon the chairs, to see finely dressed ladies spoil their frocks; to tell myself that he roared at the silly jest, like any East End 'Arry with his Bank Holl- d'ay squirt of dirty water. I like to read that Carlyle threw bacon at his wife, and ocmslonally made himself highly ridiculous over small annoy unces, that would have been smiled at by a man of well balanced mind. I think of the fifty foolish things a week I do, and say to myself, "I too, am a literary man.”—Jerome "K. Je- rome in The= Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow.
