A Wild Tale of Human Emotions From the Suburbs of Chicago. From the Chicago Tribune The wind sighed fitfully through the trees that lined the quiet street. The cheerful hum of the suburban mosquito pervaded the sultry air, the pale yellow moon shone biliously down, on a landscape that looked tired, and the voice of Penobscot Bellamus, the young man from down town, hada fuzzy and precarious sound like an E string getting ready to break at the close of a warm evening devoted to solos from the old masters. “You do not pretend to misunderstand me, Miss Naggus?” he said, appealingly, and moving forward in his chair till he sat on the extreme edge. Why. Mr. Bellamus,” she replied, “I—I am not exactly sure that—that I” The young man moved forward still farther and dropped on his knees before her with a mournful thud. ‘Why do vou suppose I have been coming to these months?” he exclaimed. ate Naggus, look at me!" “I suppose, Mr. Bellamus, you have had to go somewhere, you know, and—but, of course, when Isee «young man. before me on his knees, why, then, I—I——” “You know he means business, of course,” he seid, coming promptly and cheerfully to her ce. “That's what he means!” ‘The high-keyed voice of Mr. Penobscot Bel lamus suddenly broke. but without a moment's se he went ahead on the A string. Kate Naggns, the supreme moment of m life has come! On your decision now rests al my hope of carthly iappiness—all my dread of earthly misery.

Good nigut!” a The Little Flower Enthusiasts. From the Boston Transcript. ‘Three tittle Irish girls from a tenement house, whom the Listener once led to a garden where they might pluck as many flowers as they chose, prattled on for at least an hour, when they had got over being speechless with delight, about nothing at all but the flowers that they had rescued from the withered bou- quet which acestain lady threw out of her window. “Just think of it, mister!” one of the girls said; “she chucks "em right out into the ash-heap when they're a little wilted! I don’t sce how she can do it, but I'm glad she does, and I watch hours every day to see if the’s goin’ to chuck any out.” We talk of tha sun and air as free gifts of God to all mankind. Are they #0, when into the lap of one person fall the flowers, those creatures of sun and air, still wet with dew; while another, gifted no less freely with the love of beauty, waits with eager eyes for the chance to take ‘the flowers after they are faded? ———— Love's Labor Lost. From the Chicaxo Tribune. He was a puzzled young man, and he had come to his married sister for information. “Say, Nell!” said he, “what kind of » girl is that Smith girl, anyhow? Why?” sagely answered his sister. “I took her to the theater last night, and when the lights went down—you know she’s got such dear little hands—I got hold of one of them and squeezed 3" ey “And she snate! er hand away anc ourself? ‘othing: didn’t seem to know her hand had been squeezed. “Theu wha: “I tried it in later on.

It is no news to those who enjoy an intimate acquaintance with Mra. Harrison, but it may be to others, that she is probably the bestread mistress ‘the White Hosue ever had. She is thoroughly abreast of every new hase of literary thought and wields erself a facile pen. Of all — thin she is a most entertaining and graceful letter writer, as her friends here and in other pisee abundantly testify. A friend who bas nown her man says that the only in her manner since is that she has completely repressed her gift of repartee and a natural wit, which hed received such marked recognition among her acquaintances.

Acolored man, while walking up 14th street Saturday, noticed the front door of » jewelry store wide open, although all the other stores in the neighborhood were closed for the holi- day. Being well acquainted with the jeweler the colored man stepped in to chat a few min- utes. There was nobody within and everything was quict. In order to make his presence known he knocked loudly on the floor, but no one came. The Visitor's suspicions were aroused and going to the front door he asked a passerby to watch the store while he hunted up the proprietor. He found him at his home near by in bed fast asleep, Upon being awakened he explained thet he had gone home to enjoy a rest, having lowered the awning in front of the store and, as he thought, securely locked the door, but in reality he had left it standing open. He was greatly rejoiced to find upon reaching his store that none of his valuable stock was missing and invited his'col- ored friend to select any pair of sleeve buttons in the store as a reward for his thoughtfulness. frbcaaarirhcestoes 2} Marriage Licenses.

Nothing more to do now, except werk until ‘Thanksgiving. 4 ‘WHICH?

T. MacDowell & Co., proprietors, announce that the terms are moderate. ‘The Ruskin” at Spring Lake, N.J., is a favorite house for the large contingent of ‘itors who speud the heated term at that re- sort. The proprietor, Mra.

Accensus bulletin on education, prepared by Mw. James H. Blodgett, expert special agent, gives the preliminary showing of public school enrollment from the records of the states not shown in previous bulle- tins, namely, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey and Tennessee. By obtaining manuscript reports in several cases the census office is able to anticipate any other publication of the same statistics by many months and to publish them much more promptly than any like re- port heretofore, Private and parochial sclfool enrollment, still subject to revision, bas never before been so fully presented. Ithas been found that not one fact is uni- formly recorded in school reports throughout the country, as set forth at some length in the bulletin. which contains a caution to accept the figures only as the best available. Idaho and Ne # Jersey have an a) it gain of school enrollment slightly leee then the gain in population. Nevada ‘in population and relatively less in school enr: shows a slight loss in school enroliment since 1880. The statistics of 1887 also showed a loss ‘as compared with 1480. The reported enroll- ment of 1888 exceeds a little that of 1880. ‘The combined bulletins for the whole coun- try show an apparent enrollment in the public schools for 1880 of 9,951,608 and for 1890 a pub- lie school enrollment of 12,592,721, an apparent gain of enrollment in public schools of 26.54 percent. The gain of population, meantime, was 24.86 per cent. ith the variable character of school records and other conditions under which the statistics have been gathered the close correspondence between the apparent gain in public school en- rollment and the gain in population in the ma- tion is at least a striking coincidence. The District of Columbia, which has aes 29.71 per cent in population during the le considered, shows a gain of 99.59 in public school enrollment. The state showing the greatest gain in school enrollment is North Dakota. The gain there Was 722.77 per cent, while the gain in popula- ton was 395.05 per cent. South Dakota fol- lows with 563. r cent; New Mexico, with 253.07 per cent; Washington, with 275.08 per cent, and Montana, with 260.12 per cent. An illustrated summary of all the educational bulletins thus far printed will soon be issued. A wide range of educational material, cluding illiteracy, derived from population schedules, is yet to be treated. ae ———— THE COPYRIGHT LAW.

GENERAL FOREION TOPICS. The answer of Kussia to the renewal of the triple alliance bas been the addition of two more regiments to the force in Volhynia near the Austrian frontier and increas®d activity in the construction of ironclads. The Russian | overnment, says a Vienna dispatch, is not lieved to be ready for a conflict at this time or likely to be ready in the course of this year, All indications point to the strengthening of fleet and army for a date beyond 1891. The investigation into the kidnaping of Russian women from near the Purkish- Asiatic frontier has, it is said, pointed clearly to complicity on the part of, Kiuasian local an- thorities, who have been driving a lucrative traffic in aiding Turkish slave traders to abduct females from Russia for sale to Turkish harema As the investigation, if pursued, would strike persons high in public favor and velned for their services im other respects, it is understood that the inquiry will end in a warn- ing to local officials that the kidnaping must be discontinued under peril of punishment.

Hamtox, Oxr., July 6.—A sad boating ac- cident occurred yesterday afternoon on Ham- ilton bay, being the third fatal one to bappen this season to members of the Leander Kowing Club. Six men, all members of Leander, went out for a spin on the new Leander war canoe and when about a mile from the Haml- ton beach the heavy sea capsized the craft and spilled its occupants into the water. The waves were running high nearly all the afternoon, and as very few boats were on the bay the unfortunates were com: to cling to the upturned canoe for over half an hour before being seen. In the meantime one of the six, named Mailand Young, jr., weakened and lost his hold on the boat. His companions were unable to assist him and the young man went down before their eyes. ped SHATTERED INTO FRAGMENTS, ‘Two Workmen Killed by the Explosion of the Press Mill at a Powder Works.
