The point which appeal to the queen
la the aober pace and quiet manner of
the donkey. Of late year he ha
grown nervous behind bows, although
at a girl ah waa a fearlea horse
woman. At th Villa Llnerb, near Cannea, In
th outh of France, the queen In
dulge her fondness for driving her pet
donkey. Away from home she feels
that she can drop much of the etiquette
and ceremony which hedges her round
at Hal moral. Her villa has extensive
grounds looking off on the sea, and she
can take her regular morning outing
In her donkey cart, driving slowly about
the garden paths. She does not drive
her donkey along the boulevards.
The vehicle which she usually uses
on these occasions Is a low basket
work phaeton, en) to get In and out
of, with a broad, comfortable seat.
There Is a top which can be raised If
th sun Is too warm. Usually, how
ever, the top Is down, and maosty
hades Its eye with a parasol.
A curving dashboard acts a bul
wark against any possible onslaught
of the donkey's heels. In case he should
o far forget himself. Thl Is a pre
caution which I advisable with all don
keys, no matter how sweet-tempered.
If a donkey gets eiclUd h never can
ba counted upon, and human foresight
cannot guarantee that he will not find
caus for excitement In omethlng.
When Queen Victoria goe driving
he holds th reins loosely In one hand,
but this la a purely perfunctory per
formance. She does not really drive
herself. Driving a donkey Is not espe
cially amusing.
A trusty young groom walks by the
donkey's head and with a leading rein
guides him according to the queen's
directions. Dy th side of the phaeton
walk two of Victoria's Highland at
tendants. Defora John Drown' death
this was his special duty. They carry
bawls, and th queen's bottle of salts,
without which she never goes out.

I am a representative of the Parisian

Knowing the English quite well, I am
sent to England for seven days to exam

myself with the manners of the English
people, says th London Man of the
World.
I obtain an Introduction to a country
family bucolics agricultural consist
ing of a fat madame, a fatter monsieur,
a fattest son and a charming daughter.
In the night I get "deadrunk" (Idiom
English) on potter beer with the fattest
son; In the morning I am "olrlght," "al
lallvjoh (also Idioms English)."
At the entrance of the cattle show I
meet madame and her charming daugh
ter. 1 salute.
"llowdudo?" ssys madame.
"Olrlght; oh, yes, offly," I respond.
"Have you seen my son?"
"I have not yet had that pleasure this
morning."
"He's In the show," says madame,
with great Joy. "You will find him
among th beasts he ha taken a
prise."
It Is the first time I discover that
prizes are given to fat men, but I con
ceal my surprise and congratulate mad
ame. "He deserves It he Is very fine."
"We exhibit every year one of our
family. My husband waa highly com
mended last year. Now It Is my son's
turn, but next year we shall exhibit
ourselves again It we haven't too much
to worry us."
"Madams,! am sure will take a prize,"
t say. Indeed she ts extremely large.
She acknowledge the compliment with
a smile.
"My husband and I do not quite agree
with regard to feeding."
"Is it possible T"
"Now, be believes In mangels, but I
say cake."
"Madame, I should prefer cake my
self." "And It's cheaper when you come to
use two or three tons a month."
I can hardly believe what I hear.
Again I smother my astonishment and,
turning to the lovely daughter, I say:
"You do not yourself exhibit, made
moiselle?" "Yes, I do," she replies, dropping her
eyes and blushing with charming mod
sty. "Oh, yes; Florence has got something
here and It's a shame she didn't get a

I am astounded. I know what to say

THE AMERICAN.
THE BIGOEST POLICEMAN.
Be la Bald ta He PaUadelanla'a Cap
alalia.
Philadelphia has cause for civic prld
In the possession ot the biggest and
strongest guardian of the public peace
lathe country over Police Captain Ed
ward W. Malln of the Swond division,
says the Philadelphia Press. There may
b heavier wearer of the blue uniform.
but mere avoirdupois is not a thing to
be proud of.
Capt Malln measures in height 6 feet
6 inches. His weight Is 200 pounds.
which makes him splendidly propor
tioned. Beside him the 6-foot 200-
pounder looks small enough to be cox
swain of a university crew.
The labor of growing heavenward so
tremendoiiHly has not taxed his brain
and vitality, for Capt. Malln is strong
and hardy, and when he shakes your
hand warmly you think of the great
steam hammer In the Krupp gun works
at Essen. As for a hearty slap on the
back, a timid man would prefer a tap
from a trolley car.
Capt Malln will have been connected
with the police force of Philadelphia
nineteen years on the 26th of next Oc
tober and has passed through the sev
eral grades of duty from that ot a
'sub" patrolman to the responsible po
sition of one of the five captaincies ot
the Philadelphia police department
from "sub" to regular patrolman, to
sergeant, to lieutenant, and to captain.
His record has been an honorable one,
and It goes without saying that Capt.
Malln has had a comparatively peace
ful career, although he has always been
courageous and faithful to duty. But
the most reckless lawbreaker or a syn
dicate of him would well hesitate to
mix up In a personal encounter with a
giant who would be more than likely
to tuck the company under bis arms
and save the patrol wagon the trouble
of carrying the victims ot misguided
confidence to the station.
He has been Injured more than once
In the performance of his duty, but, as
the small boy said after the fight, "You
ought to have seen the other chap."
It is told of the big captain that when
acting as lieutenant In the old police
headquarters at Fifth and Chestnut
streets, he was one day sitting by the
door that led into the cellroom. Capt.
Malln was alone and was trying to
read a newspaper. In one of the cells
a man with a many horse-powered
voice was shouting alound his yearning
to get out and whip "anything with
brass buttons on It."
"You got me In here when I was
drunk and helpless. Now I'm sober
and I can eat up any two coppers In
the precinct Only give me a show at
them."
Lieut. Malln was patient until he
deemed patience was a drug In the
market. The bellicose prisoner was
spoiling for blood. Nothing else would
quiet him. The lieutenant sent for the
jailer and told him to open the cell
door, and as the hinge grated the fight
er flew Into the roll-call room with an
Incandescent glow in his eyes. The
lieutenant slowly rose from his chair
until he was looking down at the pris
oner far below. He said gently:
"Were you looking for something?"
"I-I I-thought I "
"Hadn't you better go back and keep
quiet?"
"Yes, sir; yes, sir. Don't hit me,
please," and the war was averted by
arbitration.
Capt. Malln was born and "raised"
on a farm near Gradyvllle, In Delaware
county. He worked out of doors
through his boyhood and didn't know
what a cigarette was. Lots of work,
sleep, fresh air, and healthful food
made a man of him and gave him a
famous start in life.
Mr Wllion'a Table.
Thre Is a man In Utah, John R. Wll
son by name, who has played a trick on
most of the governors ot the different
states and who Is now about to reap the
benefits thereof. He wrote to these
different governors, asking each one for
a piece of wood, of historical antece
dents If possible, the same to be used In
the construction of a table for the use
ot the new governor of Utah In his offl
clal capacity. The governors re
ponded generously and Mr. Wilson's
table contains, among other things, a
piece of the "Charter Oak," a bit of
Willam Penn's house, a slice off of the
frigate Constitution and other choice
bits ot timber. The table has been
completed and now Mr. Wilson offers it
for sale to anybody who will bid
enough. The stupendous audacity ot
the man would almost be enough to
make the table a valuable curio even If
there were no other assocltlons.
Tb Output of Copper.
Foreign buyers are taking consider
able of our copper, over one-third of our
total production of 330,000,000 pounds

some prospecting as to the production
of some of the large mining companies
In 1896. The Anaconda mines will
probably turn out 85,000,000 pounds,
the Calumet & Hecla about 80,000,000,
and the Boston and Montana fully 60,

A PATRIOTIC MKET13U.
An open meeting of Americans was
held under the auspices of Council No.
3, of Denver last week, which waa pre
ildcd over by L. A. Ashen. The ball
was beautifully decorated for the oc
casion and a well selected program
was rendered by Thompson's orchestra.
Mrs. Helen M. Wills' paper, en
titled "Our God, Our Country and Our
Flag," was excellently rendered, which
we print as follows:
"Our God is wonderful, Incompre
hensible, infinite, Powerful Creator of
the universe. From the little grain of
dust that floats In the air around us to
the worlds that move in their orbits in
the blue arch of heaven, not one of
them conflicting with, or disturbing
some other world in its revolution
around the center of its own, or some
other solar system of the many that
exist.
"Our God, Our Father, Our Mother,
Our Friend. Greater than God there
Is no existence of any form whatever,
the infinite creating, the finite giving
to us whose bcdles are finite; minds
whose power takes hold on that of the
infinite. Sometimes the little atom of
dirt beneath our feet, hitherto despised
because of its roughness, becomes val
uable in the eyes of everyone, because
its value has become known, it has
proven to be a diamond instead of the
little pebble of clay. So it is with the
human mind.
"Our Fatherland, Our Motherland,
to those born here. The land of their
adoption to those who come. Dear to
all of us as "Our country the best, the
freest, the most loved of any country
on this earth, from the pine clad hills
of Maine, to the jeweled waters of the
Columbia; from the orange groves of
Florida, to the great lakeB of the gulf,
One God, one country, numbering to
day forty-five states, and several terri
tories.
Once thirteen feeble colonies resisted
the oppressions, the tyranny of a great
and powerful monarch. The people of
the colonies, most of them, were poor.
They united determined to stand for
their rights, to resist the rulership of
tbelr aggressive, their warlike foe on
the other side ot the Atlantic. It was
hard work, it was wearisome. The
sinews of war so far as money was con
cerned, were mostly on the other side.
But the people were aroused, some of
them had fled from oppression, worse
than death. When that Bame fine
aristocracy threatened to take away
their rights on this side of the Atlantic,
as well as the rights of their children,
born in the colonies, the valiant
deeds of their forefathers were talked
over, at their own firesides, their
children heard the oft repeated story'
till their hearts grew strong, they felt
equal to the occasion. A leader had
been chosen whose courage had been
tested. Men marched to battle against
their oppressors, the weak against the
strong. Women did their duty in
every way possible aiding the good
cause, cheering those who but for
their work would have surrendered in
hopeless despair. Outnumbered but
thank God not outgeneraled. General
Washington had the love of every
Colonist who wanted freedom from the
hosts sent by King George to defeat
the principles of American liberty.
The result, we of to-day can see. we of
the nineteenth century are reaping the
reward of the labors of those noble
painow, wno iougnt lor this, our
country, but it took the enthusiasm of
Dr. Benjamin Franklin to enlist the
services of Lafayette and his people to
aia wnai inoxea nice remnants of a
wrecked cause.
With renewed zeal they fought on
encouraged by the aid of sons from a
foreign state till victory crowned their
efforts, and the tyrant learned a lesson
from those poor people he had not ex
pected to learn.
Again, in this present century, that
same tyrant determined to contest to
the utmost, hurled his hirelings against
a united republic with the same result
that characterized his previous battle.
General Jackson taught those
haughty Aristocrats the value of the
production of the United States until
they forgot to send over their ships of
war to master our country. But civil
war came nearer wrecking this nation
than any foreign foe could do. Brother
against brother, friend againnt friend,
they fought to the end, the devoted
Lincoln went down a martyr to his
enemies work of hatred against their
master. But our country was re-united,
re-prosperous, and will likely be so, at
least to the close of the nineteenth
century. What the twentieth century
will become the sons and daughters,
already born will decide. But friends,
while we who have lived in this the
nineteenth century, let us live for our
country, for our prosperity, for our
God in such a way that those who come
after us to take our places need not
fear to use the same stepping stones if
called upon to pass through the waters
that we have added to those of our
fathers and our mothers, born in this
our beloved country. Let those who
have come to learn of us, to become a
part of our nation, whose children are
born here, so train them that our coun

One God, one country, one flag, was
the dream of our forefathers, of our
foremotbers, as well as of those who
were born on foreign soil have come
from time to time to aid in freedom's
cause. The flag of the United States.
Our flag was created by poor people,
to help poor people, its stars were
flung to the breeze by the poor people
of the colonies, against the aristocrats
who ever wanted the lives of the poor
people. But in vain was their money
when the matter was put to a test.
Our Fag has never suffered defeat
when fairly tried or tested, when
brother fought brother, when father
and eon contended, when for a time the
contest was doubtful, in the end "our
flag" was ahead victorious; the stars
for ourselves, the stripes for our foes
until beaten, defeated, outgeneraled
with the trophies of war. With added
glory to-day "our flag is ahead of all
others, but defeat will surely come to
us except we work as well as pray,
our enemies, the enemies of our coun
try are alert, not sleepy, they are
united, aggressive will do us much
harm unless we who live to-day are
vigilant in our duty to our God, our
country, our flag, ourselves, our chil
dren. Our duty to all of these de
mands that we select for officers those
who are faithful, that we see to it that
those most worthy be elected, regard
less of political preference or political
prestige.
But, friends, this is not all; every
officer will be tested. They are human;
all have faults, all will make mistakes.
We must stand by the law, which can
only be enforced by the officers of the
law. Whenever they make mistakes,
there should be those who will fear
lessly remind them that their duties
have been neglected. If the person is
salaried officer, the duty is still
greater. From the bench judges should
Issue mandates, not as from an aristo
crat who is the ruler, but as a servant
of the law, one whose duty is obedience
to the law. But when money is allowed
to rule, when law is trampled under
foot, as it will be except we stand
united, shoulder to shoulder, then our
God, our country, our flag, ourselves,
our children, will be disgraced. God
grant that the time shall never come
when our flag Old Glory shall be
cast out and trailed in the mire of dis
honor. Let us all, old and young, try
to so live that our work shall make the
stars brighter, that our work shall add
new glory to the old glory already
there. If our nation should so decide
that the last four years of the Nine
teenth century shall bring joy to the
lovers of Old Glory as well as lovers of
New Glory, it is possible that there is
one who will represent the Old Glory
which veterans love so well, and some
son of Old Glory to add new glory to
the dream of Old Glory for many years
to come. But our duty in this city, in
this county, in this state, to our God,
our country, our flag, must be done
earnestly, zealously and determinedly,
if we wish It to be effective."
Following came the address of Hon.
James A. Clark on the principles es
poused by the A. P. A. as compared to
the effects of parochial school educa
tion on the minds of the coming gen
eration, which was interesting and in
structive.
After some music, ex-Priest Daly
was Introduced and was received with
marked applause. He referred to the
Jesuit intrigues in politics and in do
mestic life.
Mrs. Mary A. Ingersoll, the patriotic
lady candidate for election for member
of the school board of District No. 1,
responded to a call from the chair, and
her address made a splendid impres
sion upon the minds of the audience
and convinced them of her capability
to discharge the duties devolving upon
her.
This was one of the best meetings

There are those who pooh-pooh the
idea that the American republio is in
any actual danger of destruction.
They go about the streets "saying,
Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
They do not observe the forces that are
at work for the subversion of the re
public. They hear not the rumblings
of the coming storm. "Having eyes,
they Bee not; and having ears, they
hear not." But a mighty and porten
tous crisis is upon us. Americans, if
they expect to preserve this land for
themselves and their children, must
meet the crisis with firmness and de
cision. They must recognize the abso

of 1396, a United States congress which
shall be capable of dealing aright with
every question that is vital to the
prosperity, happiness and welfare of
the American people. The congress
and the president chosen next Novem
ber must be loyal, capable, and honest;
must be up to the highest standard of
political morality and practical pa
triotism. The citizens of America
ought to reform congress, and then
congress will pass such laws as will be
in the interest of the American people.
When Abraham Lincoln was nomi
nated, in May, 1S00, in the old Wigwam
at Chicago, as the Republican candi
date for president of the United States,
there was an impending crisis in the
history of this country. Lincoln took
the reins of government on March 4,
1861, and in the succeeding four years
demonstrated the wisdom of the elec
tors in placing him in the presidential
chair. He was the wisest president
who ever sat in the White House.
Another crisis in the history of the
government is at hand. We need a
wise man at the head of public affairs.
The country needs the services of a
man who is loyal, capable and honest.
Linton is the man for the hour. Lin
ion is a consistent American statesman.
Linton has done nothing in congress
for which he need apologize to the
loyal people of this nation. His record
is clean. Linton is the man who should
be nominated by the Republicans at
St. Louis.
Rome has a new scheme for getting
hold of children. It is one that will
appear to the mitigated as a worthy
and deserving charity, but to the peo
ple who have their eyes open it is but
a cunning trick to get charge of the
children of indigent parents and
bring them up In the Roman faith and
make them enemies of the country of
their birth and the tools of the hier
archy. The scheme is to convert the
old La Rablda convent into a fresh air
sanitorium. Archbishop Fuhan, John
R. Walsh and otfter well-known Ro
manists of Chicago are the board of di
rectors. W. S. Stratton, the millionaire
owner of the Independence mine, as
soon as he heard of the Cripple Creek
fire on Wednesday afternoon, tele
graphed from Colorado Springs to Den
ver for 500 tents to be sent to Cripple
Creek, and later ordered a car-load of
cooked provisions, a car-load of un
cooked provisions and a car-load of tin
stoves for the sufferers. Mr. Stratton
is one of our friends. Of such stuff are
true Americans made.
What pleases patriotic Americans
is not so much the fact that the Ameri
cans were the victors in tbe recent
Olympic games at Athens, as the as
surance that during the Olympiad be
ginning March 4, 1397, they are not to
have Grover Cleveland in the White
House.
Ed Beach, of The Cripple Creek
American, spent a few days with Mr.
Charles M. Cranson atGlllett, after the
great fire. Friend Cranson knows how
to entertain a friend in distress. May
he and his family live long and be
happy.
The carpenters of Cripple Creek did
the right thing in refusing to advance
the union rate of wages after the great
fire. The scale remains the same as
before the fire $3 per day of eight
hours and 50 cents an hour for over
time. Those who were in business in
Cripple Creek when the last fire came
are a plucky set of men. Most of them
resolved to remain and cast in their
fortunes with the new city.
None but substantial stone or brick
buildings are to be allowed in the
business district of the new Cripple
Creek, now rising, Phoenix-like, from
the ashes of the old.
