Most things are only small or great ticause of comparison. Too many of us think we are sick when laziness is the real trouble. If a man was all he imagines himself to be he would be a dangerous character. 1 It is really cruel to show sensitive eople that their kindnesses have been misplaced. The most foolish thing people can do is to sacrifice accuracy in the hope of insuring speed.

Fully one-half the people on earth ould be more useful citizens if they were going the other way. Many a man is angry at the world because it does not know what he wants unless he advertises the fact. If the sultan of Turkey could only be induced to ride a bicycle some fiendish satisfaction might be got out of him. A Texas editor says: Suffer little subscribers to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such I pay the printers. A young married woman always talks to bachelors as though they didn't know much; when she gets older she gets more suspicious.

The Chicago Civic Federation will make a fight on a portion of the button-fad. The association thinks such mottoes as If You Love Me, Grin, and I Will Meet You at Eight Oclock, are evil, and have a bad influence on the youth of the city. The one fact in which all unavoidably agree is that we come into the world alone and we go out of the world alone and though we travel In company and make a great show of our fellowship and of bearing one anothers burdens we carry our deepest burdens alone. Anent the death of the celebrated Hungarian caricaturist, Janko, it is interesting to take note of his extreme industry at his art. Being 63 years old when he died last week, he had completed no less than 80,000 drawings, which, assuming him to have begun in the neighborhood of 20, would be at the rate of nearly 2 000 yearly.

Rev. Solomon Parsons of New Jersey declares that his state could afford to pension every liquor dealer, pay him a year, and make money by the operation. The saloonkeepers of Paterson are enthusiastically in favor of and "fcay'they are' willing to help' the prohibition, clergyman secure the passage of a law embodying this idea. Speaking of policeman, an intelligent member of the Sam Francisco force made a queer break the other day. He found a Miss Peterson sitting gazing meditatively on the sad sea waves.

Straightway he arrested her. jFor looking at the water? No, but on the unique charge of thinking about committing suicide. It may be biblically true that one who commits a sin at heart has already committed It, hut modern criminal procedure has not reached that advanced stage yet. No man can understand the female mind. Three years ago the operators in the Chicago telephone exchange threatened to quit because the company wanted them to wear skirts two Inches shorter, which would cause less dust and consequently less damage to the delicate instruments.

The chief of the bureau of engraving and printing in Washington issued an order the other day forbidding the girls to come to work in short skirts, but the women protested so vigorously that the order was rescinded. The telephone girls evidently were not built like those in the government bureau. A prohibitionist clergyman in New Jersey has invented a novel scheme for overcoming the demon rum, which he declares will work like a charm, although It is more than doubtful if It will meet the general approbation of the taxpayers of that state. He proposes that every saloonkeeper shall receive a pension of $5,000 from the state, on the understanding that he will sell no more liquor. Naturally the saloonkeepers are enthusiastic over the plan and the only difficulty would be to figure out how many saloonkeepers there would be in New Jersey after such a law was passed.

Probably it would turn out that per cent of the population would lay claim to the pension. Coach Lehman, the noted English authority on rowing, has accepted the invitation of Harvard to take charge of her oarsmen and has just sailed for England. He will have nothing to do with the selection of candidates for the crew, but he will have absolute authority over the candidates after they are selected. This means that Harvard has decided after long and fruitless experiment to accept the English theory of rowing in toto, and they have picked out the most celebrated man in the business to teach them how to go about it. The latest musical discovery is that music not only hath charms to soothe the savage beast, but it may be used as a pain-killer likewise.

Topeka, Nov. 24. In an affidavit made public in the trial of the Santa Fe receivership case before Judge Foster of the federal court yesterday, George J.

Hammond, a clerk in the Western Grain and Stock exchange of Chicago, swore that a conspiracy had been formed to beat down Santa Fe stock, and his testimony implicated Daniel J. Small of Topkea, Henry Wollman of Kansas City and other citizens at the mouth of the Kaw. In his testimony Hammond alleges that he saw a letter from Henry Keeler of Topeka to Attorney Small, in which the former explained the details of the conspiracy. Henry Keeler was to have charge of the case in Kansas, and Henry Wollman in Kansas City. Wollman, so Hammond alleges, had 30,000 to put into the deal.

An affidavit by J. B. Johnson of Topeka, ex-master in chancery for the Santa Fe road, implicates others in the conspiracy in addition to those mentioned in the Hammond testimony. Numeroi. stock brokers in Kansas City had, according to their affidavits, received tips on the proposed receivership application, and the case rapidly unraveled as the affidavits were filed.

The case came up in the United States Circuit court before Judge C. G. Foster at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon on a motion to remand to the District court of Jefferson county. Judge Henry Keeler and D. R.

Hite spoke in support of the motion, contending that the ease was not removable. Judge Albert H. Horton spoke in opposition to the motion, holding that the Federal statute had been complied with in removing the case from Jefferson county. Judge Foster took the question under advisement, and court adjourned till 9 oclock this morning. OFFICIAL VOTE OF KANSAS Complete Figures on President and Governor Tabulated.

Neal had a family of eight children. The youngest, a baby, and the eldest, a boy of 15, had accompanied the parents to a dance at the louse of a neighbor, about a mile from their home. One of the six children left at home, Nora, aged 9, saved herself by jumping from a second story window. The others were afraid to jump and perished in the flames. The children retired at the usual hour, and between 9 and 10 o'clock were awakened by the flames and smoke.

They rushed downstairs only to find their way to the door biocked by fire. Returning to the chamber, they threw a window up and Nora jumped to the ground. She implored the others to follow hut they dared not. A few minutes later llatte, overcome by smoke, fell out of tne window with her younger brother in her arms, into the front doorway, where the two perished within sight of their parents, who, attracted by the fire, had rushed home to the rescue of their children. The house was a story and a half frame.

The stove was in the room under the chamber occupied by the children. The pipe passed through the floor and into a chimney upstairs. It is probable that the fire was started by the overheating of this pipe, although nothing is known positively as to its origin, and there are many who suspect incendiarism.

Major McKinleys Opinion Expects No Revenue Legislation This Winter Thinks It the Best Policy for the Republicans to Settle the Tariff Question.

New York, Nov. 24. The Mail and Express says: There is going to be an extra session of Congress called within twenty days after the inauguration of President-elect McKinley. This information comes from Canton to-day in a most positive and direct way, and its reliability can not he questioned. It is the opinion of the president-elect that no revenue legislation can be accomplished this winter, and though newspaper dispatches disagree regarding his attitude toward the present agitation for the Dingley bill, there is substantial authoritv for the statement that Major McKinley is averse to rais ing expectations as to its enactment which, in his judgment, cannot he realized.

He fears that the business community would become demoralized should the bill be passed in the house again only to he laid aside by the senate, and he does not share Senator Shermans opinion that the measure can pass the senate before the reorganization of that body on March 4. Canton, Nov. 24. The presidentelect and his intimate friends are unable to see any reason why the Dingley tariff hill should he pressed for passage this winter. They regard that measure in the light in which it was distinctly placed by its author when he offered it to the House as a temporary affair, made to fit an emergency and designed to tide over a brief period in which the Republican party had control of the House alone, while the Senate and chief executive were under the domination of the opposition.

That condition will not exist after March 4, and therefore no good reason can be found, in the opinion of the President-elect, why the Republican party should not proceed at once to the performance of its duty in giving the country a general revision of the tariff schedules. If the Dingley hill were put upon the statutes a general revision would still be necessary in the immediate future, and it is deemed bad poliev to prolong agitation of the tariff. Major McKinley has pointed out to some of his callers that if the tariff revision he left to the regular session of the new Congress the iuw law could not go into effect before the autumn of 1898, or just on the eve of the Congressional election. The President-elect had one experience of that sort with a tariff law which the country had not had time to understand, and he does not care to have another. JOY SPENT TOO MUCH.

HANNA FOR CABINET OR THE SENATE. Sherman Has First Choice Secretaryship of State Will Be Offered to IHm If He Prefers to Remain Senator, Ilanna Will Bo Secretary of the Treasury.

Hanna, he said, will either go into the cabinet or he will be the next Republican United States senator from Ohio. Mr. Hanna's course nrav decided by Senator John Sherman. Both the chairman and Major McKinley understand that, and thev are waiting to learn what position Mr. Sherman will take.

Despite the fact that both General Miles and Colonel Fred Grant held a conference with McKinley, neither of them, says this gentleman, will get the portfolio of war HAWLEY ON TARIFF.

Favors an Extra Session of Congress Is for Moderate Duties. Washington, Nov. 24.

Senators Cockrell of Missouri and Hawley of to Connecticut both gave expression this opinion to-day and both like agreed in the opinion that nothing don in ter- in the way of helping along an national bimetallic conference.
