MRS. LESA W. BBOWN, a wealthy res ident of Chicago, is interceding with the authorities for the release of Fred Johnson, a 14-year-old boy, who was caught attempting to break into her residence for purpose of theft.

THE Bancroft is the smallest and weakest vessel of our fleet, but for all that her strength is great enough to make any nation hesitate long before it fires upou her. In the splendid and inspiring words of the New York Sun, "She carries four small guns, 13 stripes and 45 stars." Her puny four-inch guns are nothing, but those stars and I stripes represent 70,000,000 of people' who never were defeated and never will be. Sous most remarkable collections have been left behind by Arthur Ham ilton, a wealthy and eccentric English man, who has just died near Vienna. Not the least singular consists of 20,• 000 buttons, representing all the uni forms of the different armies of the world. Another collection is made up of the teeth of all the most formidable wild beasts, while in contrast to this. are 352 fans which originally belonged to the most beautiful women in the world. A CURIOUS and slightly known fact is that it is impossible to move the eye while looking at its reflection in a mirror. The eye is the most movable part of the face, yet if you try to look at it and move it a thousandth part of an inch you will be balked in your pur pose. The moment you endeavor to perceive the motion of the eye it be comes fixed. That is why a person's expression as he sees himself in the glass is entirely different from the one by which his friends recognize him. BETWEEN the mountains of India and Persia is a powerful tribe among whom an extraordinary custom prevails. Woman's rights have apparently re ceived full recognition, for the ladies of the tribe can choose their own hus bands. All a single woman has to do when she wishes to change her state is to send a servant to pin a handker chief to the hat of the man on whom her fancy lights, and he is obliged to marry her, unless he can show he is too poor to purchase her at the price her father requ ires. A SURGICAL case is reported in one of the French technical papers in which a broken end of a needle in the hand of a woman was withdrawn and without the loss of any blood. The hand was placed near the poles of a very power ful electro-magnet in such a position that the needle was drawn in the direc tion of its point. After nine treat ments, lasting altogether 20 hours, the needle came out through the skin. It had been in the hand two months, and as its definite location was not known, a surgical operation had not been per formed. BOERHAAVE, the greatest doctor of his time, was anxious that it should go forth that even the most eminent doc tor is somewhat of a "humbug." He carefully handed the key of a small diary to his executor, bade him open it immediately after his decease and let the contents go forth to the world at large. When the note book was opened all its pages but the last were blank, and on that final one there was writ ten in large letters: "Directions to pa tients: Keep your feet warm and your head cool, and trust for the rest to Providence." SOME conscienceless fellows in South ern California have been circulating information through eastern cities that t'here was a wide field for the work of trained nurses in the Golden state and that the salaries paid for such services was from $20 to $25 a week. As a result of this misleading information many competent nurses now find themselves stranded on the western side of the continent, at least' 3,000 miles from home. There is no greater demand for trained nurses in the extreme west than in the east and the pay is no better, if it is as I TALKS TO STUDENTS. President Cleveland Makes an Ad dress at Princeton. HI* Them* la the Part Universities Should Flay In Rational Ll(e Intel ligent Patriotism Is Needed. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 23.—President Cleveland delivered ap address in Alex ander hall, Princeton-, university, on Thursday. His theme was the influence of universities and colleges on intelli gent patriotism. A synopsis of his ad dress follows: "Mr. President and Ladles and Gentle men: To-day, while all of us warmly share the general enthusiasm and felicitation which pervades this assemblage. I am sure its various suggestions and meanings assume a prominence in our respective fields of mental vision dependent upon their re lation to our experience and condition. Those charged with the management and direction of the educational advantages of this noble Institution most plainly see, with well-earned satisfaction, proofs of its growth and usefulness and its enhanced opportunities for doing good. The graduate of Princeton sees first the evidence of a greater glory and prestige that have come to Jils alma macer and the added honor thence reflected upon him, while those still within her student halls see most promin ently the promise of an increased dignity which awaits their graduation from Princeton university. "But there are others here, not of the family of Princeton, who see, with an in terest not to be outdone, the signs of her triumphs on the fields of higher education, and the parts she has taken during her long and glorious career in the elevation and betterment of a great people. Among these I take a humble place and as 1 yield to the influences of this occasion cannot resist the train of thought which especially reminds me of the promise of national safety and the guaranty of the permanence of our free Institutions which may and ought to radiate from the univer sities and colleges scattered throughout our land. "ObviOusly a government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the peo ple has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence. While the advantages of a collegiate education are by no means necessary to good citizenship, yet the col lege graduate, found everywhere, cannot smother his opportunities to teach his fel low-countrymen and influence them for good nor hide his talents in a napkin, with out recreancy to a trust. In a nation like ours, charged with the care of numerous and widely varied interests, a spirit of con servatism and toleration is absolutely es sential. A collegiate training, the study of principles unvexed by distracting and mis leading Influences and a correct appre hension of the theories upon which our re public is established, ought to constitute for the college graduate a constant moni tor, warning against popular rashness and excess. "The character of our Institutions and our national self-interest require that a feeling of sincere brotherhood and a dispo sition to unite in mutual endeavor should pervade our people. Our scheme of gov ernment In Its beginning was based upon this sentiment and its interruption has never failed and can never fail to grievous ly menace our national health. Who can better caution against passion and bitter ness than those who know by thought and Btudy their baneful consequences and who are themselves within the noble brother hood of higher education? There are nat ural laws and economic truths which com mand implicit obedience and which should unalterably fix the bounds of wholesome popular discussion and the limits of polit ical strife. Government Not a Gift Maker. "The activity of our people and their restless desire to gather to themselves special benefits and advantages lead to the growth of an unconfessed tendency to re gard their government as the giver of pri vate gifts and to look upon the agencies for its administration as the distributors of official places and preferment. Those who in university or college have had an op portunity to study the mission of our institutions and who In the light of history have learned the danger to a people of their noglect of the patriotic care they owe the national life Intrusted to their keeping, phould be well fitted to consiantly ad monish their fellow-citizens that the use fulness and beneficence of their plan of government can only be preserved through their unselfish and loving support and their contented willingness to accept in full re turn the peace, protection and opportunity which it impartially bestows. "Not more surely do the rules of hon esty and good faith fix the standard of In dividual character in a community than do these same rules determine the char acter and standing of a nation in the world of civilisation. Neither the glitter of Its power, nor the tinsel of Its commercial prosperity, nor the gaudy show of its peo ple's wealth can conccal the cankering rust of national dishonesty and cover the meanness of national bad faith. A con stant stream of thoughtful, educated men should come from our universities and col leges preaching national honor and integ rity and teaching that a belief In the neces sity of_^a^_al„,°^J^nce to the laws of God is not born of superstition. "I do not forget the practical necessity of political parties nor do 1 deny their Ot Birabillty. 1 recognize wholesome differ ences of opinion touching legitimate gov ernmental policies, and would by no means control or limit the utmost freedom In their discussion. I have only attempted to sug gest the Important patriotic service which ourinstitutlonsof highereducation and their graduates are fitted to render to our people In the enforcement of those Immutable truths and fundamental principles which are re lated to our national condition, but should never be dragged Into the field of political strife nor impressed Into the service of partisan contention. When the excite ment of party warfare presses dangerous ly near our national safeguards I would have the Intelligent conservatism of our unlversitltes and colleges warn the con testants in impressive tones against the perils of a breach Impossible to repair. Asked to Sound an Alarm. "When popular discontent and passion are stimulated by the arts of designing partisans to a pitch perilously near to class hatred or sectional anger I would hav« our universities and colleges sound the alarm In the name of American brother hood and fraternal dependence. When the attempt is made to delude the people Into the belief that their suffrages can change the operation of natural laws, 1 would have our universities and colleges pro claim that those laws are inexorable and far removed from political control. When selfish interest seeks undue private bene fit through governmental aid and public places are claimed as reward of party service, 1 would have our universities and colleges persuade ''the people to a re linquishment of the demand for party spoils and exnort them to a disinterested and patriotic love of their government for Its own sake and because In Its truo ad justment and unperverted operation it se cures to every citizen his Just share or the safety and prosperity it holds it- store for all." A Big Cargo. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 2'i.—The steam er Algoa sailed from this port for Liver pool with the largest cargo ever taker rom an American port, consisting j8,260 bales of cotton, 104,000 bushels of grain, and 640 tons of other freight, alJ valued at $1,000,000.

The Flurry In Wheat—Many Contract* Awaiting Kesult of Election. New York. Oct. 24.—R. G. Dun & CC., In their weekly review o£ trade, sftyj "The event of the week has been the sen sational advance ot wheat to 83 cents for cash on Tuesday, a rise of 6% cents, and its fall to 77 cents on Thursday, gaining 1% on 5'Tiday. The rise was magnified by cov ering of specu'utlve nellers who Imagined the advance had gone too far, but was at bottom based on an extraordinary foreign demand, which has engaged grain vessels from all Paclflo as well as Atlantic ports for months ahead. How great the short' age in ordinary European supplies may be is the point of doubt and speculation, but none now Question that shipments from the Pacific coast to India and the decrease'In Russian yield are Important, and the buy ing of enormous quantities for export, with engagements of freight room at higher rates, express the belief of European deal ers. "Wheat exports from the Pacific coast are large, and over 600,000 bushels per day have been engaged ahead for some time. The Atlantic exports, about 900,000 bushels larger than last year for the week, have been In October 6,570,213 bushels, flour in cluded, as against 6,086,388 last year. Corn moves largely and at lower prices, having declined a cent for the week. Cotton has advanced a sixteenth, to 8 cents, with only moderate transactions, and heavy receipts from plantations. "The most striking feature of industrial returns is the number of contracts condi tioned upon the election. These already are enough to make business rather lively for a time, and many others are pending which will probably be held back until November J. "The movement of currency to the In terior uas been only $3,600,000 for the week, and the market for commercial loans has been dull. The volume of business shown by exchange has been 8.7 per cent less than last year and 9.6 per cent, less than In 1892. "Failures for the week have been 274 In the United States, against 231 last year and 60 In Canada, against 38 laBt year." THE FATHER ALONE SAVED.

Only the father, who fought to free himself, arose to the surface and when he came up he had the child Ruth under his arm, but she was dead when a boat rcached him from the shore, he having held it under water all the time, he not knowing in bis excitement that he was crowning it.
