FRIDAY, MAY 2i, IS!)!).
TllK Missouri legislature has at last
adjourned si no die. Tho sebsion lasted
i:5S days.
(Iknkijal. MacAktii fit's recent
report of tho operations in ftla
nila lends addition proof that the hoys
of tho First Nebraska are the host
fighters in the Philippines and that
they havo performed the most danger
ous duties.
Thr people of Kansas are going to
make a strong effort to pet the Twen
tieth regiment sent homo intact in
stead of mustering them out in San
Francisco in ordar that they might
show Colonel Fjnston and his men
what they think of their work.
Kacii month the treasury publishes
a report of the money in circulation and
an estimate of the national population.
On May 1, according to this authority,
there were 75, 875,000 people in the
United States.an increase of 1.!S,000 for
April, and of 545,000 for tho four months
of the calend ir year. Counting new
possession-, the census of next yo ir will
he in the neighborhood of 85,000,000.
Tim Kearney Hub relates tho fol
lowing facts: "An Omaha newspaper
alludes to the fct that the Greater
AttOrica oxposition company has set
aside a fund for advertising to bo
used with the newspapers of Nebraska
and Iowa. It might havo added that
the placing of this advertisement has
been given to an agency that will
wheedle the newspapers into doing
tho work for half or quarter price, if
they permit themselves to be worked,
insteading of dealing direct with tho
publishers. There is no reason why
the Greater America company should
not pay full commercial rates for all
of its newspiper work, becauso it is
purely a commercial scheme and is
not in position to ask for any
gratuities."
TllK governor wanted a new "man
sion" to be bought and furnished at
the expense of tho state. Some men
in Lincoln wanted to sell property to
the state at two or three limes its ac
tual value. A bill was forced through
the legislature giving the board of
public lands and buildings power to
buy the property. The appropriation
was $25,000. Republicans were in
duced to vote for the bill because of
the threat of the executive veto for
their own measures. The state board
advertised for bids in the usual public
way, and then met in star-chamber
session to open the bids. This per
formance brings to mind the "com
plimentaries" mentioned in tho Palrn-
Cornell correspondence. The public j
now wants to Know wny me state
board is afraid to do business in the
open light of day. Was there a codi
cil attached to one of those "bias"
that necessitated a star-chamber ses
sion? SPEAKERSHIP UOSSII.
Perhaps the most interesting fea
ture in the current gossip regarding
the speakership of the noxt house of
representatives is the opinion ex
pressed by some members of the house
that Mr. Reed may bo a candidate,
says the Bee. Representative Ray of
New York expressed doubt as to the
alleged determination of Mr. Reed to
leave congress, while Representative
Bromwell of Ohio is of the opinion
that the ex-speaker may be induced
to accept re-election and proposes to
urge him to do so. Itis stated that
there are other members who will ad
vise Mr. Reed not to withdraw from
iho present congress. Ol course if he
should heed such advice ho would
have no difficulty in being again chosen
speaker, but it is not at all probable
that he will give it any serious atten
tion. In regard to the contest of the
avowed candidates the situation ap
pears to have undergone no material
change in the past week. Sherman of
New York is still regarded as the
leading candidate, but according to
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune his chances are
less favorable than a fortnight ago.
while those of Colonel Henderson ap
pear to have improved. It is now taid
that the Iowa candidate is likely to
get the vote of Pennsylvania, while ho
will certainly have support from New
England and he has a number of
friends among the southern represen
tatives. Conceding to Sherman the
leading position at present there np-
poars to be no doubt that Henderson is
a close second, with the chances very
good for making further gains.
INFORMATION AND OPINION.
What becomes of pins? This com
mon household conundrum has at last
been solved by an old gentleman in
London. By a series of experiments
conducted in his back garden, he has
discovered that pins go the way of all
flesh, and are resolved into dust. Hair
pins, which he watched for 154 days,
disappeared at the end of that time,
having been resolved into a ferrous
oxide, a brownish rust, which was
blown uwny by tho wind. Uright pins
took nearly eighteen months to dieup
uoar; polinhed steel needles nearly
two years and a half; brass pins had
hut littlo endurance; steel pons at the
end of fifteen months had nearly pone,
while their wooden holders ware still
illt'lCt.
Admiral Sampson lias never re
gained tho weight ho lost whilo in
Cuban waters. General Ludlow is
also in thia dilllculty. One of the lat
ter's friends recently sai to him:
"W ell, at any rale, you didn't leave a
limb at Kl Caney." "Perhaps not,"
replied General Ludlow, "but I left
nearly forty pounds scattered all the
way from Si honey to San Juan."
Miss Lavinia Dempsey, with whom
tho New York newspapers havo had
fun ever since she caused herself to bo
crowned queen of tho Holland Dames,
two or three years go, is now hoing
sued by her brother, John A. Demp
sey says of his sister: "It would bo a
slander for me to fay that she is
crazy, and some insano peoplo aro so
rational on all points but one that it
would be hard to prove it in court."

22,000 men twenty years to complote,

labor was free, the cost was $20, 000, (!0i.

A capital story is told by a gentle
man who visited the Chateau d'If. A
good woman showed a party the de
caying dungeons in which Abbe Faria
and Edmond Dantes were immured,
and the visitors gazed at these ruins
meditatively. "It seems to me," said
the narrator of the incident, "that
these cells are very near to one an
other, and Alexander Dumas describes
them as being farther apart." "Oh, in
deed," said the woman, with a con
temptuous look; "when I am talking
history, this gentleman quotes a nov
elist." Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition.

tite gradually growing weaker day

me up. Fortunately, a friend advised
trying 'Electric Bitters;' and to my
great joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and
am now a wo'.l man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of an

Word of (oiiitol.it Ion I or the lierenved
Futility of Deci-aHt'il .
In this ntd hour it seems fitting that
we should nxproisour sympathies with
those who suuVr more than we. Whilo
yet in love .with lifo and enraptured
wi h the world, ho passed to the eilunt
and pathetic dust. Yet, after nil, it
may bo Just in tho happiest,
sunniest hour ff all its voyage, when
eager winds at e kissing every sail, to
dash against the unseen rock, and in
an instant hear tho billows roar above
a sunken shin; for whether in mid boh.
or among the breakers of the farther
shore, a wreck at last must mark the
end of each and all; and every life, no
matter if its every hour is rich with
love and every moment jewelled with
a joy, will at its closo become a tragedy
as sad and deep and dark as can be
woven in tho woof ai.d warp of mys
tery and death.
Our hearts soften and swell with
grief as we sorrow over the loss of a
loving, noble, generous, manly friend.
In his ever noblo manhood it seemed
the elements that go to mako up a
perfect man, mingled with tender love
and sympathies, blended together in
him and blossomed into a sweet and
noble character. In tho sterner bat-
tics of lifo he was strong enough to
master the rougher, harder things, and
brave enough to never falter in times
of danger. His alTection, sympathy
and love wcro deep enough to touch
with tender feeling, and uplift and
soften the sorrow of the most lonely
and humble. To him tho tears of a
child wore never passed unnoticed, or
the groans of agony from the .suffering.
His generous nature lended balm to
tho suffering and sympathy for tho
sad.
Were every one whom ho did some
loving servieo to bring a blossom to
his grave, ho would sleep tonight be
neath a wilderness of flowers. His
acts of kindness and generous nature
towards his friends run like a golden
c rd around them, and bind them to
day with one sorrowing brotherhood.
Whon ho lived alone, as ho did for a
number of years on the frontier, ho
spent his lonely hours in building up a
rich and noblo character; and in this
sad hour we sit together and mourn
tho loss of a gem in this rough and
stormy path of life. It seems that
earth has lost one of its most beautiful
objects of love. IIo was a dutiful son
and tender father, and sympathetic
neighbor, and sturdy and patriotic
countryman.
At several times in his lifo ho was
called upon to risk his lifo to protect
the life and property of a friend, and
when duty called or danger, ho was
never wanting there.
Some feelings are to mortals given
With less of earth and them than hesuen;
And if there be a human act,
From pulsion's dros, refined and clear.
It's when friend backs fiiend with his own life
And sturdy act.
This brave and tender man in eTery
storm of life was oak and rock, but in
the sunshine he was vine and flowers.
To him life was duty, and his greatest
burdens wero the sorrows of others.
His face was always towards the sun
aud his hands to the plow. He worked
hard, stood many a privation and self
sacrifice, but never murmured or com
plaintd; nor did he become remorseful
and despondent in times of defeat and
danger, but saw better things ahead
The acts of his generous life runs like
a vine around the memory of the dead
and every sweet unselfish act is now a
blossomed flower.
Tho wires that run from the eastern
to tho western borders of our state
never carried any s idder news, or
united in sympathy any stronger the
bonds o' fellowship that drew his
friends together.
It is useless to try to tell tho little
acts of kindness that come to us in this
nour. Xiiey now oeiore us as a river
of leve from the fountain of life. This
earth would bo a paradise were all
men as sturdy, tender and noblo. He
was bound with no prejudice nor fet
tered with the shackles of ignorance,
and mingled with men as one who
feared neither friend nor foe. He re
tained and cherished the good of life
and cast off the vulgar
For his beloved wife and child there
is a multitude of sympathizing hearts
today. VTe grieve with her ir. this
hour of darkness. It is to be hoped
that the sympathies wo offer today
will not lie forgotten when the cloud
that hovers over mo-t of us will have
passed away. May we love, cherish
and protect hi loved ones as he would
have done had it fallen his dutjT to do
so. May we ever have an open heart
and a generous affection for them
through the rough journey of lifo.
To his aged father and mother, wo
trust that they may find a solace and
comfort in the towering wealth of
character and manhood he developed
as a monument of honor to them as
they nppro.tch the setting sun of life,
Larce was his bounty and his soul sincere
Heaven did a recompense as largely 5enJ
He Rave to misery all he had a tear.
He gained from Heaven all he wished a lriend
No farther seek his merits to disclose.
Or draw his frailties from their dread abode.
There alike in trembling hopes repose.
The bosom of his Father and his Ciod.

VAST AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION
It rilled
tli Entire Upper
Story
of
l'olonyt'a House.
The owner of probably the greatest
private collection of autographs in the
world, Alexander Polonyl, has died In
Vienna, says the London Leisure Hour.
His collection was bo large that It filled
the entire upper story of his house.
Polonyl possessed the autographs of
over 30,000 persons, not only of mod
erns, but of mediaeval and renaissance
persons as well. He was not particu
lar as to age, religion or profession.
All he stood out for was that the au
tograph was to be that of a person of
certain historical importance. He pos
sessed original writings whirh havo
not yet been printed of Michael Angelo
and Marie Antoinette, letters by Calvin
and Luther, Schiller and Goethe, pages
of music by Wagner and licet hoven,
original documents from the eleventh
century, private letters of Canovas, old
Hebrew scrolls and sermons iy famous
Hussites. It was Polonyl's greatest
pleasure to show his treasures to
scholars and to bewilder them with the
wealth and variety of the materials
which he placed before tbem in tho
calculated disorder we have attempted
to describe. He began life as an ap
prentice to a Lelpslc bookseller. His
greatest success was with a magnificent
collection of Durer's drawings, whirh
he happened on quite aceldently And
sold to the Royal gallery in Herlin for
a prodigious sum of money. Polonyl
had no scientific or historical knowl
edge, but he had a genius for eolleet
lng, and It was as a collector he was
known throughout the world
CHINESE PRAYER.
Inspired by the Fli-Ht Klglit of n
Illcyrle.
A Baptist missionary once sent
home an account of a prayer offered
by Wang Cheng Sui on the occasion of
the visit of two Americans who were
on a tour around the world on bicy
cles. After the bicyclists had ridden
to the mission station Wang prayeM:
"We thank Thee, our Heavenly Fa
ther, that our eyes have this day seen
the real pattern of the 'self-going earf
of the ancients. What mysterious wis
dom is Thine! How willing Thou art
to impart knowledge to men! Hut our
sins hinder. Thy revelations! How
stupid have we become through serv
ing Satan so long! Many years have
we lived, and yet today for the first
time we have seen this marvel of Thy
skill, which has enabled Thy servants
In the West to understand. Forgive
our sins. Restore ub to Thy fivor.
Communicate to us, also. Thy mys
teries, and let us share in the wonder
ful inventions by which Thou dost
make Thy name glorious amongst
those who serve Thee. Let us be in
trusted with Thy secrets, and possess
the power of the ancients; so with all
our countrymen come to know that we
have found the right path, and are
servants of the true God." The mis
sionary thinks is very likely that such
a prayer will provoke a smile, but he
bids us believe that Wang was in re 1
hot earnest, and that he simply felt
that he had witnessed a miracle ami
was giving God the glory.

The Naming of Vessel.
One of the earliest named vessels
was the Argo, which carried Jason and
his companions on their quest far the
golden fleece. The story of the Argo
nauts date3 from the time of Pindar,
500 B. C, at the very latest. The later
Greeks named their vessels, as did the
Romans. Our christening or naming
of vessels undoubtedly Is an idapta
tion of the ancients' custom of install
ing the image of a tutelary deity in the
tutela or shrine at the stern of a ves
sel. Thus the vessel that carried Paul
from Malta to Rome wa3 "under the
sign of Castor and Pollux" (Acts xxvil.,
17). The ceremony of breaking a bot
tle of wine on the bows of a new vessel
as It is launched is derived from the
libation which the ancients made to
Neptune or Poseidon.
