L 7L!2JS2R: i I! ( i jj ,l I ' I !i i STORY OF A POTATO. LLE. AOLAB, a milliner by trnde, wna BlttlriK ono flno 111 Sunday morning by too opon winnow peeling potatoes. Tho window WftB on tho fifth floor nnd looked but on tho lluo Lepic. Sud denly ono of tho po tatoos slipped through her fingers, dropped over tho edge of tho window sill and d sap poarod Into space. It fell with a bang upon a gentleman who was passlnG bonenth, and mado a deep dent In his elegant silk hat. . It took him but two seconds to reach tho landing on tho second floor, when a door suddenly opened and a person rushod out In a great hurry and fell hc'i&liy into his arms. Tho two men oyed each other for a moment with angry and astonished looks, ready to abuso each other, when rjoth simultaneously uttered an excla mation of surprise T''Anatolcl" "Edgarl" , iVUiatoJo Baudrucho and Edgar Brlcn ctoHi.wpro two old collego chums. Thoy had not met slnco tho day when thoy tqoit, their bacholor of artB degreo to Ecfhcr twclvo years before. In splto o'tHhis long Interval In their Inter course thoy found on tho occasion of this -sudden mooting that thoy had voryHUUo ready change of conversation.- Edgar was tho first to speak: "Baft your hat looks very pretty," ho sa'ld. "Dojiot speak of it. It haB just served for a target for a potato that fell from tho fifth story." "AncVnow you aro going upstalrB to restore the potato to Us ownor? That's very nice of you." "Not by any meanst I'm going to chpjfo tho clumsy dovll with his crlmo jffyAo mako him pay for a now hat." i'Well, so far as that Ib concorned, you nyigiu as won iuun.iu u. wiiiou. "Ami why, If you pleaso?" "Decau6o old Bldocho 1b an old hedgo hog who will kick you downstairs, ovon lit 'fib opens tho door for you at all." ,v,';01d Bldocho?" J'Ycs, tho man you are after, for It can$e no other than he. All tho ten ants in tho building aro always having troubta with him. Ono might think that ho'ninuo a point of bolng as disagree able to: overyono as ho possibly can." "Then do you Uvo In this house?" tM'No, but an aunt of mine docs, and Y'Bdarcely a day passes without her hav- iTfipi a scrap with old Bldocho. If you will allow mo I will go up with you; two heads aro better than ono In a matter llko this." S6 Edgar nnd Annntolo wont up three flights togothcr, and stopped outsldo a door through which camo softly th EouhSs of a melodious musical instru ment. "ThlB is tho room," said Edgar. "fio'a practicing on his bassoon." With theso words ho pulled tho boll and the bassoon suddenly ceased. Then tho shuffling of feot was heard along ii "Monsieur, yoi are a fool." tho floor, tho door opened and there, frajmed In tho doorway, tstood a little oilman, with benevolent smiling face nnd a large-sized bassoon resting across ono arm. "Whnt do tho gentlemen deslro?" nmfed the little old man. Hi. Bldocho," repllod Edgar. "Yes, tho wretched Bldocho,' added Alngtole, shaking his ruined -hatln onc unnu nnu who uiu ouicr placing mo pritnto on the top of the musician's negjj. M. Bldocho?" repllod tho old man poutoly. "I do not know him. I novor heard of him." "What's that? What's that?" cried Edgar. "Aro you trying to decolvo ua?" VNot at all," answered the bid man quietly. "Thero must bo somo mistake eamowherc. My namo is Molesquln. I am the sole basso in tho orchestra of thorhcater des Gobolins, and I moved Intnls morning." ,"Then," continued Anatole. "you are not the man who throw this potato on ray "hat?" "I only eat green' vegetables," ans wered Molesquln. "Nevertheless, If tlw gentlemen will come in for a short while 1 will play them my part In tho rfcur do Nesles.' Thero aro some in teresting passages In It." Anatolo and Edgar did not Hko to ro fuco, and went into the old musician's roam. Molesquln gavo them a seat and sctne cigarettes and then, going up to th? stand, ho played through for tholr benefit the whole of the first bassoon part fl tho "Tour do Nesles." Edgar mado a bravo face over It, wlitlc Anatolo sat in tho window with hlV) potato in his hand, scarcoly able tp contain his patience. Suddenly tho musician struck a false note. It increased Ariatole'a impa tience so much tiiat he gavo a jump, and in doing so allowed the potato to slip from his fingers. It rolled over tho window Bill, and, with a hop, disap peared in tho street below. 'When Mile, Aglae droppedher pota .M W&0 111 P.TBD'' IV 5 -J v m e jy j to into the Btrcet Bho was ovorcomo with fear. Sho hurriedly shut tho win dow bo that In case thero hnd been an accident no ono would suspect her. Thon she sat down and quietly waited tho turn of events. What, then, was her terror when sho heard stops com ing up her Btairs tho stops of men, of two men, heavy and loud. "Thcy'ro pollccmon," sho thought, and nt tho thought her littlo heart be gan to beat moro quickly, while cold perspiration broko out on her pretty white shoulders. But Just when 8ho expected to hear the men's cruel flstB knocking nt tho door of her littlo room her faco Bud donly resumed Its calm and peaceful expression. Still sho was afraid to movo for some time, fearing, with logical mind, that when tho policemen found that tho ten ants next door wore Innocent thoy would como In and nccuso her. After somo moments, however, sho gained enough courago to conceal tho basket of potatoes, which muBt otherwise havo appeared so much against her, and forced hcrBclf to put on an innocent expression with which to meet the po lice. After waiting a littlo longer and hearing no nolso of steps, but only tho bassoon, she becamo completely reas sured. In order to mako assuranco doubly sure, sho opened her cupboard, and, taking out tho milk jar, opened tho door quietly and crept down tho stairs to got four bous' worth of milk from tho dairy at tho corner. In this way Bho hoped to mako an alibi, and her caso would bo too strong for tho slightest suspicion. Besides, slid want ed somo milk to boll her potatoes In, and it was her lntontion to put In a caullflowor as well. So Hhe bought her four sous' worth of milk and started on tho return jour noy with her spirit at rest and her milk bottlo carefully hold in front of her. Suddenly she felt a violent blow on her flngors, and at tho samo moment her hands, her baro arms, hor corsago, face, hair and mouth woro covered with milk. It waB tho potato that had slipped from Anatolo's hand and had landed with romarkablo precision right In the mouth of tho milk jar. "Oh, mamma," cried Aglae In de spair, "what has happened? Who has dono this?" And sho ran up tho stair caso, only to run plump into tho hands pf Anatole. Anatolo, as a matter of fact, when ho saw tho potato flying downward, re membered tho police ordlnanco against throwing things out of tho window after 10 a. m., and decided to leave Molesquln as soon as it was at once pollto and possible. Ho shook Edgar, who had fallen asleep, and, after prom ising Molesquln to return next day and tako lessons from him, nnd hurried helter-skelter out of tho door, the bas soonist accompanying him as far as the 'door. At tho moment when the door opened Aglao was coming up the stairs four steps at a time. Aglao and Anatolo found each other faco to face. Aglae with her faco and hair running with milk and Anatole with his silk hat all smashed in on his head. Thoy stopped; they looked at each other, and they understood It all. "Monsieur," cried Aglae, "you aro a fool." "And you, madamolsollo, your fingers aro mado of blotting paper," replied Anatole. "You nro a rudo man, 8lr." "And you aro 111 bred." "A man who cannot hold a potato In his hand should not undortake to glvo lessons to anybody." "I advise you to say as littlo as pos sible, mademoiselle. When a girl can not peel a potato without letting It drop sho should tako her meals at a restaurant." "I shall tako no Instructions from you, monsieur." "Nono tho' less, madomolsello, I re peat you should take your meals at a restaurant. I know a very nice ono on la Placo Plgalle. I do, Indeed, mademoiselle." "Well, go thero yourself, monsieur." "Oh! So you think that I would go to a restaurant with my hat smashed In this fashion!" "Eh blen, monsieur, If your hat 13 In jured you have only to go to a hatter's and got It blocked." "I shall take no Instructions from you, mademoiselle." "None tho less, monsieur, I repeat you should go to a hatter. There Is my brother, who Is in tho hatter business at Rue des Martyrs." "Would you llko very much to havo mo go to breakfast In a restaurant with you? En blen, mademoiselle, I shall go to your brother's with my hat only on condition that you como with mo to a restaurant for breakfast." "En blen, monsieur, I shall go with you to a restaurant only on condition that you take your hat to my broth er's." "And I," cried Molesquln, who had been attracted by tho discussion, but who had said nothing, "and I shall nev er forgive you for having Interrupted my studies unless you will accept a box tonight for the Theater des Gobo lins." "We accept," cried Edgar in his turn. Molesquln went back to his room, and the three young peoplo went down stairs. "Che brakfast was delicious and the afternoon passed with tho rapidity of lightning.

VOICE OF OUR PRESS ON THE ISSUES OF TO-DAY. ttepubllcan Corruption llnmpnnt In tho Chicago City Council na Well as In tho Katlonnl Congress Twin EUi License and Tariff. Tho common council of Chicago Is still republican, 49 to 19. Thero Is no great promlco of reform In Buoh a situa tion, for It is under republican auspices that tho council has become degenerate, as hag tho board of county commission ers. Every ono of tho towns in Chi cago la republican. Thero Is np great promise of reform in thnt fact, for near ly every ono of thoso townB has been scandalously mismanaged. Notorious ly assessments havo beon made uneven. What reform is thero in electing one of tho worst aldermen nssessor In tho richest town? Is there potency of re form in BUch a proceeding? True, tho sentiment among electors which sent to the council such men as Gunthcr and Fitch reduced Hepburn's plurality until it was practically notice to quit, but Mr. Hopburn will have his creden tials and thero will bo no reform In tho assessment of the south town. Thero will bo no reform In the asscsnment of any of the towns. A commission appointed by tho mayor, whoso boIo Idea has been to se curo spending money for the people at tho city hall, Is engaged now In making a report of tho actual values of the property In tho south town north of Twelfth street. Its report will soon be ready. Ig thero anybody so obtuso as to think that Alderman, now to bo Assessor, Hopburn will bo guided by a statement of values which emanates from so honest and capable an assessor as Mr. Joseph Donncrsborger? The truth appears to be that reform Is not desired by persons who arc of great potency In the electorate. Tho rich do not want a change In tho meth ods of assessment. Thoy know how to control them to their advantage now. They want a pliable man in tho as scssorshlp. They do not want an hon est council. Thoy want a council that will respond to tholr demands when they choose to mako them for gas com panies, street railways or any of tho many privileges that havo conferred fortunes upon tho beneficiaries. Bribed aldermen have not laid up great for tunes. Tho money that comes In over tho devil's back goes out under the dovll's belly. Thnt easily had and un earned Is quickly spent. But whllo tho boodlo alderman has not mado a great fortune for himself, though he had such purpose In view, yet he has been tho meanB of making at the expense of tho city onormous fortunes for other men. Thero Is very little substantial causa for congratulation on tho outcome of tho local election. Tho machine that has robbed tho towns la in full pos session of tho 'offices, ready to rob them arrow. Tho council is not materially changed. A well-moaning but adoles cent reformer shouts exultation at tho selection of somo nondescript of tho Harlan character, "A majority suffi ciently strong to uphold tho mayor In his vetoes of corrupt ordinances Is as sured." This is doubly a mistake, first, in tho assuranco that there is such' a. number of aldermen, and, next, that tho mayor, who was an alderman onco upon a tlmo himself, has any purposo of vetoing corrupt ordinances If thoy aro also ordinances in which he or his friends have an interest. Mayor Swift is and has been moro culpablo In tho matter of granting privi leges to corporations without adequate compensation to tho city than a whole roll call of corrupt aldcrmon. Ho signed tho ordlnanco for tho elevated loop in the south division. When It was urged upon him that he ought to insist at least upon tho Incorporation of a clause for compensation he refused. When at tention was drawn to tho insufficiency of tho consents he declined to consider tho matter, asserting that his man Fri day in tho public works department had acted and that was sufficient. He permitted tho Chicago City Railway Company to carry a trolloy to tho heart of the city and thought that for this fatal Innovation, the entering wedge for trolleys upon every street of the downtown district, a few thousand dol lars was adequate compensation. Tho mayor did veto tho General Electric, but the text of that veto demonstrated that in the other matters ho had sinned againot light, for ovory reason for "veto he should havo advanced in tho previ ous cases, ho set forth in his veto of tho General Electric. Ho was, there fore, not Ignorant of the substantial grounds on which tho provious grants ought to have been withhold. An election In which Mr. Hepburn passes from the council to tho assessor- ship of the south town Is not a triumph for reform. But It is a matter of con gratulation that In the common council are to bo found such men as Mr. Gun ther, Mr. Fitch, Mr. Gazzolo, Mr. May pole, Mr. Kiolbassa, Mr, O'Malloy and Mr. Walkor, somo of whom owe their bucccss to republican votes, for thero are in this town many excellent, well meaning republicans, who must, how ever, confess that their party is domi nated in county, city and towns by an unscrupulous machine, which wo tho whole demonstrated on Tuesday its ability to maintain Itself in a career of corruption and to havo In Its struggles support of very many of tho so-called best citizens, who in return get assess- ," " ., . , u ! and flld themselves ablo to buy what they want in the council chamber and the city hall. Chicago Chronicle, High License and the Tariff. From Chicago Chronlclo: Now York republican politicians who defend the Raines law as legislation In tho causa i of temperance and morality declare inar,iuo incrpaso In tho Uconsoioq will, reduce the number of saloons, They do not Bay that it will reduce tho consump tion of liquor. They merely allego that thero will bo fowor places where liquor can bo bought. Experience furnishes abundant reas on to doubt tho correctness of this opinion as to tho effects of an increased liconso on tho number of saloons. It would bo difficult to Bhow that in any city where high rates of license havo been established the places where liquor is Bold aro less numerous than boforo. In Chicago when the license fee was raised Jrom $125 to ?500 a year thero was no decrease. On tho contrary, the number of saloons increased with tho increase in population and general busi ness. Every other high llcenso city has Bhown n similar stato of facts. If tho number of licensed saloons is reduced In any city by au Increase of the tax the loss Is moro than made good by tho prosperity of illicit traffic. Where tho tax is too high it will bo evaded. Institutions variously known as "speak easles," "blind pigs," "holes In the wall" and otherwise tnko tho placo of saloons in which business Is licensed and regulated by law. What Is called the "boot leg" traffic selling small flaskB of bad liquor at a high prlco by peripatetic venders, who conceal their stock of trade In their clothing on the street Is another dovlco for avoiding tho payment of a high licenso fee or tax. But with honest pollco systems the illicit liquor trade docs not flourish in cltlc3. The saloons continue though the llcenso 1b increased and their number Is enlarged with a groatcr population and with the public demand. In this view, based on experience, tho number of saloons in New York will not be diminished under the Raines law. Il licit trade may flourish, but probably not to a great extent. If it is not true that the increase in tho licenso tax under the Raines law will decrease tho number of saloons the revenue will bo enormous. Thero aro 13,000 saloons In Now York and Brook lyn. Thefr taxes will amount to nearly $10,000,000 a year. Of this Bum tho stato will get one-third, or, say, ?3,500, 000. Tho amount of taxes paid by the various counties for stato purposes will bo reduced to that extent. Tho Raines law, therefore, creates a sort of partnership between the pIoub temperance peoplo of tho Interior and tho wicked saloon-keepers of the great cities. Tho greater the number of sa loons tho moro tax they will pay, one third of which goes to relievo tho countiea from taxation. This Is tho crafty dovlco of tho republican machine In Now York to make tho Raines liquor bill popular among tho anti-liquor voters by shifting a vast proportion of the stato tax from tho counties to the cities. Protection and free Coinage Are Twins. Say thd Utah republicans: "A pro tection tariff, as long as the money of tho country is held, ounce for ounce. 100 per cent higher than tho money of tho orient and of Spanish-America, is impotent to savo our farmers and man ufacturers from a competition which they are helpless to meet." If this means anything It means that our sil ver dollar Is held at 100 per cent higher than tho value of tho metal contained In It by Its practical convertibility Into a dollar In gold, nnd that tho only thing that can savo our farmers and manu facturers Is to let tho silver dollar fall one-half to Its bullion value. The gold coin would then bo worth just as much as It Is now, and tho dollars of silver would bo worth only half as much as tho dollars of gold. Yet theso repub licans pretend to favor bimetallism, pretending that twp klndB of dollars, one worth twice as much as tho other, will circulate sldo by side. They know better. Thoy know thoy aro silver, monome'tallists and not bimetalllsts at all. Ex. What tho Vforklngmau J'ays. Utica Observer: Tho tin plato cry for more tariff Illustrates tho protection chain. First thero is a duty on lion ore, then a duty on pig Iron; then a duty on steel; then a duty on tin plate; then a duty on manufactured tin. Tho mine owner charges tho furnaccman as much extra for his ore as tho tariff will pormit. The furnace man adds tho pig iron tariff and the Iron ore extra to tho price of pig Iron to the steelmaker. Tho steelmaker adds the Bteel tariff and the iron ore tariff to tho price of steel to the tin-plate maker. Tho tin-plato maker adds tho tin-plate tariff and tho steel tariff and tho pig Iron tariff and tho iron ore tariff to tho price of tin plate to tho manufacturer of tinware. The manufacturer of tinware adds the tariff on tinware and tho tariff on tin plate and tho triff on steel and the tariff on pig Iron and tho tariff on Iron ore to tho price of the dinner pall that is put upon the market. Does tho work lngman think that he doesn't pay all tho tariff extras on his dinner pall? The Issue In Illinois. Peoria Journal (rep.).: Mr. Tanner 13 not the choice of the republicans of Illinois. He la the choice of tho ma chine and outsido of a few country dis tricts ho has not even claimed to bo anything else. His nomination, if It 1b mado, 1b tho culmination of a long planned and carefully . worked out scheme. Tho issue of the campaign will bo stated In about theso terms: "Tan ner favored tho bopdlers; Altgcld de nounced the boodlers." Tho people of the state will do the rest. Republican Economy. The republican plan of economy is to provide for a' national expenditure of $100,000,000, but not to appropriate over $10,000,000 toward payment of tho t J amount'uritil after theelectlon. Ex. BOOTH IN HIDING. One Man's Life Hunc by it Very Slomtei Thread. Tho Bpot to which Captoln Cox led tho assassins was an old tobacco-bed covered with broom-sedgo in a denso thicket of young plnea, which was not near any roadway. Thomas A. Jones, a foster-brother of Captain Cox, and who had been hla overseer, lived within half a mllo of tho Potomac, on a placo called "Huckle berry"; and as ho had been regularly engaged in conveying spies and blockade-runners surreptitiously across tho Potomac, Cox Bent for him and placed Booth nnd Herold In his charge. Jones dally brought food covered with corn in a basket to tho fugitives and called lustily to his hogs as he paid his visits. Each day ho found Booth suffering much from his leg, and usually on tho ground, rolled in his blanket. Ho was eager for tho papers giving an account of the murder, and seemed to be much distressed that his foul deed met with littlo approbation In the South. Jones watched his opportunity to take his dangerous charge to tho river, about two and a half miles distant; and nearly a week a gloomy, cloudy week of chilly mist passed before tho favorable op portunity came. On tho third or fourth day nftcr Booth reached tho pines It was decided to dispose of their horses, which had become restless from lack of food and proper stabling, as It was feared that their neighing would betray them. Ac cordingly, Herold and Franklin A. Roby, Capt. Cox's overseer at that time, led the horses about two miles distant Into Zeklah swamp, whore It makes a junction with Clarke's Run, and here they were shot. Ab the placo was boggy, tho bodies of ,the dead horses disappeared from view in the course of a week, and were never seen afterward. The carcasses of theso animals, how ever, camo near betraying Captain Cox. A large troop of colored cavalrymen camo to his residence for tho purpose of securing information as to tho route taken by the assassins after they left Rich Hill. Captain Cox showed them the general direction of their course early Sunday morning, which was toward Zeklah Swamp. The troopers started for the swamp, and Captain Cox and his son retired to a knoll about ono fourth of a mile in the rear of his house, which commanded an extensive view of tho entrance to the swamp in tho valley below. They could easily see the buzzards hovering over the spot where tho horses had been killed a few days before, tholr bodies not having yet sank in the bog. Captain Cox and his son anxiously watched the cavalry men approach the swamp. Would they or would they not enter below the dead horses? Captain Cox nervously ques tioned. "My son," said he, "If thoso men enter below tho spot where the bodies of the horses are, I Bhall hang for It" Tho colored cavalry entered but a Bhort distance abovo where the horses lay, and deploying at intervals of fifty feet, beat tho swamp from Captain Cox's to Dr. Mudd's, nearly fifteen miles. Editors and Trenchers. The fact that Journalists differ among themselves and from the preachers on religion and Boclal questions should not surprise anybody who knows how much tho preachers differ themselves on the samo question. The preachers seem "to want tho whole earth" of Journalism a little too soon, whllo the editors, whoso outlook upon tho world is wider, are obliged to bo economical with tholr preaching In order that their newspapers fulfill their great distinc tive mission publicity.
