The fact is, there are nearly a dozen firms in this country inanu f jcturing tin plate in merchantable quantities. Since the "tin plate liars" h.ive ceased their prating, however, the republicans deem it unnecessary to say much mora about them.

"Why," said a Missouri man'this afternoon, "Hyran spoke in Kansas City some time ago. He made a good speech of the kind and he had the cheek to demand his pay. When he was elected he demanded from the club under whose an -pices he spoke an indorsement. A meeting was held and the indorse ment. It was subsequently repu diated.

His selection of mem bers of the ways and means com mittee indicates that no attempt will be made to repeal the McKinley bill, but on the contrary, very mild legislation on the taritf question will be attempted. The selection of Bland for the chair manship of the coinage committee indicates that Speaker Crtsp is still a firm believer in the unlimited coinage of silver.

They had an old single barreled hhotgun, loaded with bird shot and an ax. They linxl tho load of allot into tho beiir and brought tho animal down. Then tho dogs attacked it, but they were beaten tiff. One of the hoys ran in and tit ruck at the bear with tho ax, but did not hit it. Young Hall then drew his pockctkuifo and went at tho bear. Ho was pretty badly scratched and severely bitten on tho lingers, but stuck to the brute until ho cut tho bear's jugular, vein. Tho kiys dragged homo tho body in triumph. Cor. New York Sun.

A bridal party by some means oc cupied their wrong places, and tho bride was married to tho best man, who was engaged to marry her Rish-r. During the ceremony tho bride had some idea that tho proceedings wero hardly as they (should be, as tho bridegroom stood be hind her and tho best man, and handed tho ring to tho latter. On tho othet hand, tho best man mado tho necessary responses. Happily tho error was dis covered before tho register had been nign"d and tho ceremony was gone through a second time, euro being taken that tho right man was wedded to the brido. London Tit-Bits.

ON SCHEDULE TIME. YYht'U They Can't iivt Iunliln Tliejr Have the lint Tlmt the ICderiur AfToaia, and i Biiuietlinr That In Very Guud, Though a Trille Daiiigerouii. While traiiiiueii are of one mind in re gard to tho annoyance which tramps causa the railroad companies they dis agree about the methods of these indi viduals in "doing" the country. In spite of the strict rule of all railroads prohibiting tramps, these professional travelers get over tho road somehow or other with astonishing rapidity. They have been known to come from San Fran cisco to New York 111 but a trifle longer time than it took Mr. Mackey on his record breaking trip. It is by no means certain that one of these nomads didn't accompany Mr. Mackey part of tho way across the continent on the fa.-t mail train. Tramps are partial to mail trains. The trucks are roomier than those of the ordinary coach or freight car. Whatever doubt there was about Mr. Maokey's beating tho record there certainly wasn't any doubt that Mr. Tramp beat tho railroad company. There are tramps and tramps. Many a poor fellow who has spent his last cent and is out at the elbows wants to try his luck in another part of the country, but he has no means of getting there except his heels. These will not carry him far without hunger staring him in the face, lie slinks about Kimo frcightyard, and when 11 train is pulling out liegs a train man to carry him along a bit. lie ad mits that he hn tramp, but he isn't; he's a beggar and a tenderfoot. There aro others, who havo jui-t got their hand in, traveling from town to town, and when a trainman catches them btowed away in a box car they whine piteously and recount their sufferings or those of a sick family miles away which they ure anxious to get to. now nii.vL Titiurs act. "These are 110 tramps,'" said a brake man. "There is nothing interesting about them and they are ,1 nui.-aiiee. The professional tramp is a character, and sometimes you meet with one so slick that he deserves to beat his way. The real tramp makes no excuse when he is discovered. Nine times out of ten he makes a threat, and as a good many of them go armed it is dangerous to meddle with them. For if there is a human being who might bo expected to value his lifo cheaply it is a tramp rather than a burglar. How many times have I had a tramp snarl at me with a string of oaths and wind up by threatening to put a hole through me!" "Probably tramps will hang ou to most anything, from tho brakishoe to the wheel box," suggested tho reporter. "No," said a trainman of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. "Many people have erroueous ideas about tho habits of tramps. Personally I never saw a tramp on a truck, but others say they have. Tramps generally pull for an empty box car, if there is one oien. It is curious to see thorn search the yard over, inquire about the departure of traius and their destination and the stops they make along the way. Why, Saturday night, just before leaving for Thillipsburg, I went to search my train for tramps, and I fonnd an empty Fall Brook car full of them, right next to the train shed. They knew somehow that the car was going home, and that it went to the end of the jonrney. They always seem to want to go as far as possible. "These fellows set np a whining and begged mo to let them go along. They all had rick families, or something just as bad, to go for, and one of them said he wanted to go to Phillipsburg to attend the funeral of his brother. I drove them all out. Noue of them was a professional. They didn't know one another, and they all sciitti-rod in different directions. REVENGE KOlt IIX TREATMENT. "Of course they will get into any car that is left open, and if there wanytking eatable they always help themselves. If there isn't an open cur they will try to find a car of lumber. That is more ex posed, but there aro always some vacant nooks between tho piles of boards, and they make very good buuks. When I was running 011 a Long Branch trair. wo had an experience with tramps at M ita- wan. We picked up a car of luiuix r there. A gang of tramps had learned of its time of departure aud that it was a through car, which just suited them. They always try to get a 'through sleei er, like passengers who pay their way. Oue of them, who had a wooden leg, they put on top of tho lumber in plain sight, and then they appeared to go away. Of course the trainmen wouldn't put a de formed man off, and apparently he was the only one who was going along. But no oooner did the locomotive signal to start than the gang lit upon the lumber car li ke a s warm of bees. We went buck and pulled them all out from the crev ices, und we got curses in return. "The next night when a freight train came along tho switch at Matawun w:is open, nnd tho train smashed a lot of cars ou a siding. The tramps were around later to see the results, and they nsked the agent whether that was Torter's train. No, said the agent , aud they were very sorry that they had made a mis take. "An empty box car or car of lumber lacking, they look for a car with a good sill nt the end. ' But not many cars are built that way now. Where a car has ladders within reach of the bumpers tramps will stand on the bumpers and make a long journey sometimes in that position. But generally there is nothing to cling to at the end, and many a pro fessional will stand between two cars with a foot on one bumper and the other t oot on the other bumper. Of course this is reckless, for trains often break in two, and down goes the tramp and oue sec tion goes over him. Probably more tramps are killed in this way than any other." Nrw York S;in. Too Mow. A music teacher who lives in a small towu in central Ohio tells a delicious story, which goes to show what utmp preciati ve ears classical music sometimes falls on, wheti the owners of the ears think that nothing is good mimic unless it is "fast aud lively." The iucideut oc curred durit.g a concert given by August Wilhelmj, the great German violinist. Wilhelmj, as is known by musicians, particularly excels in rendering andante or adagio movemeuts, containing much pathos and deep feeling. The proprietor of the town hall had heard of the great artist, and although he had uo more idea of what the per formance of a solo violinist of tho tirst rank would bo than he had of tho pres ent system of political economy in the planet Mars, he thought it would be a paying speculation to engage the great violinist for a concert, aud accordingly did so at a price which looked ruiuous to his townsmen. The attendance on the night of the concert proved, unfortunately, that the musical culture of the place was not suf ficiently advanced to fill the house, for there was only a handful of people in the hall at 8 o'clock, the time for com mencing the concert. The music teacher who tells the story arrived after the concert commenced. He found the manager taking tickets at tho door. "Well, Jim," he asked, "how's it go ing?" The manager looked up with an air of deep dejection, lie said nothing, but plucking his friend's sleeve ho led him silently to the door of the hall and looked in. On the stage stood Wilhelmj with all the classic repose of a statue. He was playing a soulful adagio. As he drew his bow blowly across tho strings ho drew forth tones which seemed almost like melodious sobs in their sweet pathos. His great lemon colored Stradivarius violin, "tho Messiah," seemed to sing almost like a thing of life. Tho few people who were there sat entranced and breathless drinking iu the matchless tones. "Well, you see for yourself, 'prof.,'" said the manager to the music teacher. "I'm paying that chap $ WO for this con cert, and lookeo how slow ho's a playin." New York Herald. Household Drodorlzem. A deodorizer, it should bo remem bered, simply neutralizes the unpleasant odors of a room, and is in no sense a dis infectant. Where a disinfectant is needed, as in case of sickness, it is always better to obtain one from a phy sician. Coffee is one of the best deodor izers which wo have. It should be sim ply ground and passed around tho room on a hot shovel, on which two or threo live coals have been placed. Burned cotton or cotton rags are also valuable for this purpose. Aromat ic vinegar and con.phor aro both excellent deodorizers, ano may be sprinkled freely in a sick room. The practice of some nurses who use cologne water, sprinkling it freely through the roora by means of au atom izer, is very commendable, as it proves grateful and refreshing to a patient. A pail of clean cold water set in newly painted rooms is said to have a neutral izing effect on the poisonous odor given out by new lead paint. It is safer, how ever, not to occupy such a room until it has become thoroughly disinfected and deodorized by pure fresh air. One of the simplest nnd safest deodorizers to use about the house is chloride of lime. Care should be taken to buy only the best quality aud to purchase it only of a thoroughly trustworthy chemist or drug gist. Even fresh win tewash is a power ful purifier and disinfectant of the at mosphere, and for that reason the cellar and the outbuildings, where there is any danger of poison from decaying animal or vegetable matter, should be frequently whitewashed. New York Tribune. Dlnneri In New York. There is one enjoyment of lifo possess ed by New Yorkers which is rarely found in any other of the largo cities of this countrv. The resident of tho me tropolis who prefers to live iu furnished apartments and dine wherever Jiia fancy suits him a practice common enough in London and in Continental cities can make a selection from among a hundred or more restaurants where meals are served table d'hote at prices consider ably less than would bo demanded for the same meal at an ordinary American restaurant. These places ure to be found iu nearly evtry section of tho city, but tli"y are most numerous iu tho neighbor hood of upper Broadway. Thero are French, Italian and Oerman resorts cf this description and the price ranges froui fty cents to three or four dollars, including wine, so that the most impe cunious individual cau take his cou dinner regularly at n email expense.
