Omaha Bee.
Tlie above criticism shows more
gall than decencj", coming as it
does from the pen of Traitor Ko?c
water, who sold out his party and
sacrificed his honor to elect Boyd.
It is very refreshing to see the
Omaha Bee worried over the bad
effect, that tlie ousting of Boyd will
have on the republican party. The
paper that did more than any other
to disrupt the pasty at the last
election is certainly poor authority
to preach political ethics to that
party. You have been over
whelmed in your schemes Mr. Rose
water, and the temporary success
you achieved in electing Mr. Boyd,
has been turned to bitter disap
pointment. Hence these tears; they
are not for the fancied danger
which threatens the republican
party, they are for Boyd.

Boyd a citizen on 110 better authori
ty or system of reasoning than that,
the subject had better be dropped.
THE HERALD, while personally ad
miring Mr. Boyd's ability as an ex
ecutive officer, has all along held,
that by the strict letler of the con
stitution he was not a citizen of
the United States in the full mean
ing of the term, and we are not sur
prised to see Judges Cobb and Nor
val of the same opinion. The law,
we-believe, fully bears them out in
their theory of the case, and the
hue and cry about partisan deci

announced that he had become the
proprietor of the controlling inter

and Mr. Kohlsaat have for a long
time been warm personal friends,
and it seems that last October agi
arrangement was made between
them by which Mr. Nixon was to
purchase for Mr. Kohlsaat the stock
of all outside holders, and i he news
paper was to run as a joint enter
prise. During the latler's absence
in Jiitrope the stock was secured,
and he returned last week to con
summate the arrangement. The
entire stock of the corporation is
now owned by Mr. Konlsaat, Mr.
Nixon and his brother and other
members of the Inter Ocean staff.
It is understood that there is to be
no change in the personnel of the
paper or in its editorial conduct.
Mr. Nixon will continue editor in

Imagination and Hunger.
I observed another instance of the in
fluence of the imagination upon our hap
piness of a sort to which I dare say I
have before alluded. I was engaged one
morning in preparing part of an inter
esting chapter in my new work the one
which deals with the origin and develop
ment of the bonnet. I had got as far as
the head dress worn by the Athenian
matrons to the theater, and was natural
ly much engrossed with the work, when
an inward monitor, in a still, small, yet
unmistakable, voice, suggested "lunch
eon." I looked at my watch it said 3
o'clock.
Now I always take luncheon at half
past 1; never, in any emergency, later
than 2. But 3 o'clock! I felt ill and
faint. I started for the club feeling like
Rip Van Winkle when he came home for
his luncheon twenty years late. I passed
a friend. I tried to slink by without his
noticing, but I could see that he looked
upon me sadly and askance, as if I were
in some way a stricken wether of the
flock. I went in and sat down.
Somehow everybody else seemed to be
late. I looked at the clock. It waa ex
actly twenty-five minutes of 2. I looked
at my watch again. It still said 3 o'clock,
It had stopped during the night. Now
mark tht result. I instantly recovered
from the starvation from which I had
been suffering, and began to converse in
my usual cheerful and intelligent man
ner. But I did not mention the extraor
dinary behavior of my watch, which I
now reveal only in 6tnct continence.

THE TIN PLATE TRADE OF GREAT
BRITAIN.
London Times, April 22: An ad
journed meeting ot the lin lJlate
Makers' association (masters) of
South Wales and Monmouthshire
was held at Swansea yesterday for
the purpose of ratifying a decision
came to last wees to the enect that
all the works should be closed for
four weeks from June 27.
Mr. J. S. Tregonning of the Morfa
works presided, and the attendance
waa larger man at the previous
meeting, forty-five makers being
present.
A committee deputed- to obtain
assent from works not represented
last week to the proposed stoppage
reported that it had attained addi
tional assents, and that altogether
6ixty-four works with 367 mills had :
actually agreed to'join the combi-
nation. Altogether, excluding aj
few in the Midlands, there are 471 i
mills in the trade, and
was expressed that many more as
sents will be forthcoming in
McCnllough Echoes.
Joseph Haworth in private life is a
student. When away from the theater
Haworth spends all his spare time in
completing the life of John McCullough.
Haworth has an autograph letter from
McCullough which money could not buy,
It was written several days previous to
the death of the tragedian. It was
probably the last letter written by Mc
Cullough, in view of the fact that for
months previous to death his brain was
Mattered. ' We will climb the ladder
of fame together, Joe," he said, " and I
will help you until we both reach the top
round."
" McCullough had a valet named Bob
Pritchard, who was a curious fellow,"
said Haworth, recently. "L'j was a
thrifty Scotchman, and to save inoney
he always made his bed in MeCullough's
dressiag-rooni in the theater. Once John
missed a handsome robe which he wore
in ' Richard III.' It couldn't be found.
Finally, several months later, when
playing in New York, two little Pritch
ards came to the theater, and the dresses
which they wore were cut from Mc
Cullough's handsome robe.
"Pritchard expressed his sympathy
curiously the day the guv'nor was
buried.
" ' lie was a great man, Mr. Haworth,'
he sobbed, ' a good man. Many a dressing-room
through the country has he
wiped the floor with me, sir." Boston

Expensive Repairs.
A submarine telegraph cable has a life
of from ten to twelve 3-ears. If a cable
breaks in deep water after it is ten years
old it cannot be lifted for repairs, as it
will break of its own -weight. On this
account caole companies are prepared to
put aside a large reserve fund in order
that they " may be prepared to replace
their cables every ten years. The action
of the sea eats the iron away so com
pletely as to turn the outside coating to
dust or sediment while the core is still
intact. Tha breakage of an ocean cable
is a very costly accident, owing to the
difficulties to be encountered in repair
ing it. It often becomes necessary in
case of a break to charter a ship at $500
per day for several days in succession,
trying to fix upon the location where the !
cable has parted. One breakage in the
Direct Cable company's line a few years
ago cost that syndicate $125,000. Boston
