hand and there is an element of originality
noticeable throughout that lends a charm
What does it matter if the Indian of one
sketch wears the same kind of trousers
with an identical bagginess in tho knee as
the fanner of another sketch It is only an
indication of the brotherly feeling that ex-

MINISTER SNUBBED
THE KAISER DOESNT TAKP
KINDLY TO THE FRENCH
He Shows 111 IIumnr When Introduced to
Frenchmen Miners ofthe World Co-
operate In a Great Strike
Paths April 12 M Herbert French am-
bassador to Germany has sent to M Bibot
French minister of foreign affairs a dis-
patch full of misgivines as to the nature of
the ambassadors relation with the Berlin
foreign office M Herbert savs that chan-
cellor Von Caprivi treats himjwith formal
politeness while tho emperor who
was formerly invariably affablo in
his cmanner now speaks curtly and
has shown positive ill humor
toward Frenchmen whom M Herbert has
introduced at receptions The news causes
increased anxiety in government circles
here Hitherto M Herberts own reports
as well as other official information from
Ajermi nave snown mat M Herbert was
persona grata with Eniieror William and
the ambassador was on the most amicable
personal terms with the chief of the Berlin
foreign oflice Nothing has occurred be-
tween the ambassador and M Ribot to indi-
cate the intention of the German govern-
ment to increase the tension of relations
ALIIEADY SCKriClKXTIT STRAINED
If the French government ascertains that
the kaisers altered auitude toward M
Herbert arise from dissatisXaction over the
treatment received by the Empress Freder-
ick in Paris his early recall is certain So
far as is known in official circles the
kaiser exonerated Herbert from all
blame in tiie matter while M Ribot
considered the conduct of the ambassador
in relation to the Paris incident to have
been absolutely correct
The leaders bf the recent miners con-
gress are arranging to appoint a general
strike executive committee composed
equalty of representatives of the French
English Cerman and Belgian miners The
executive committee will meet in Brussels
if the government permits during the com-
ing general strike in Belgium
Teegrani3 received to nigt from the
German delegates announce that the con-
ference of miners at Boehum on receiving
the report of the action of the Paris con
gross decided that in the event of a strike
in Belgium unless the German collieries
refuse to furnish Belgium with coal the
German miners should also strike If the
new system of drawing upon coal in
America should weaken their position in
the struggle with the masters the execu-
tive committee will open communication
WITH THE AMEWCAX CXIOX
Strike agitations in America are watched
with keen interest as having a probable
bearing upon European strikes
A series of experiments with quick fire
guns has been made at Canefsgreit factory
at Havre in the presence of French officers
a Russian commission headed bv Col
Sanatsky and the Danish General Licne
mann In an interview Gen Linnemann
said that a large gun was fired nine times
in forty five seconds while another of
heavier caliber was discharged seven times
in fifty four seconds The result of tho ex-
periments he added Justified the belief
that the French factory can successfully
compote with any ordinance factory in tne
world

An Old English Tavern Keeper
To the dramatist Farquhar we owe the
popular conception of a rotund rubicund
landlord a Boniface as small wits still
call the tavern keeper In his lively com-
edy of The Beaus Stratagem Boniface
is landlord of the inn at Lichfield where
much of the action of the piece takes place
His dialogue with Aimwell is brisk and
lively
I have heard says Aimwell your
town of Lichfield much famed for ale I
think Ill taste that
Sir says Boniface I have now in my
cellar ten tun of the best ale in Stafford
shire tis smooth as oil sweet as milk
clear as amber and strong as brandy and
will be just fourteen years old on tha 5th
day of next March old style
Touxe very exact rejoins Aimwell
in the age of your ales
As punctual sir as I am in the age of
my children Ill show you such ale Here
tapster broach No 1700 as the saving is
Sir you shall taste myannodomini I have
lived in Lichfield man and boy above
eight-and-fifty years and I believe have
not consumed eight-and-fifty ounces of
meat
At a meal yon mean if one may guess
your sum by your bulk
Not in my life sir I have fed freely
upon ale retorts the jolly host I have
atj cij ale drank my ale and I always
slept upon my ale All the Year Round

Corresponding Without Stampi
Two local business men made a wager
regarding tho payment of local postage A
said he could send a letter through the
Springfield postolfice that would be deliv-
ered to B who would return an answer to
him and neither A nor B would pay any
postage nor would any be required B
accepted the wager A and B exchanged
envelopes bearing their respective business
cards thereoD and agreed on a fictitious
address like John Jameson Boston Mass
A wrote a letter to B using the envelope
with Its business card addressed it as
agreed and dropped it into a street letter
box without affixing i postage stump
In duo timo the carrier returned the
letter to B marked held for postage B
opened and read the letter and replied en-
closing his answer in As envelope and pay-
ing no postage A received his letter simi-
larly marked and won the cigars All
letters or packages bearing the name of
the sender and having no stamps attached
are returned to the sender to be stamped
A took advantage of this rule and by
using Bs envelope the letter was returned
to B the supposed sender and Bs letter
reached him for the same reason Spring-

American and English KiUIitujs
In England American railways are as a
rule tha object of almost unmixed lauda-
tion We see their marvelous cheapness
their flexibility of adaptation to rapidly
changing circumstances and the extraor-
dinary technical nbility with which they
are managed On the other hand we
pay little heed perhaps because we have
n difficulty in imagining them to the
personal preferences the unjust discrim-
inations the wild fluctuations of rates
even the actual financial dishonesty
which looks so large in the eyes of the
American public and have given to the
agitation in favor of more stringent state
control or even of state ownership what-
ever force it possesses
It is worth noticing therefore that these
blots on the American system have no
necessary connection whatever with the
system of private management It can
hardly bo doubted that the railways of
England and the United States whichever
stood first would secure tho first and
second place between them In speed and
in accommodation whether for freight or
for passengers whether quality or quantity
be taken into consideration in the energy
which pushes railways into the most remote
districts in the skill which creates a traffic
where no traffic existed before they stand
today in the front rank as they have stood
any time for the last half century W M

tion Tho Mexican train to which they
were attached passed thrqugh a cyclone
and hail storm near Torreon Mexico about
C oclock last night Thestom approached
suddenly from the northeast preceded by a
cyclone which missed the trair A hail
cloud followed and so large were the
stones that the headlight of the engine and
every pane of glass on one side oi tho train
of cars was smashed as if thev had been
struck by rocks The tin roofs
were battered so badly that not
a particle of paint remained

injured and a Mexican at Ton eon station
was killed Tho train was forced to stop
for half an hour until the storm passed
Those on the sleeper who reached here say
