D Proving Citizen “I'm more of an American ci Jots of fellows, if they had 600 natuvalization papers.” It was a German named Webb who was doing the talking. His mother diea in the old country lately, and he had been in- formed that in order to get his part of the es- tate it would be necessary to send his natur- alization papers to show that he was a citizen of the United States. He was interviewing Charley Fox, the slerk of the superior court, and had ascertained that it would be very dificult for him to get the desived proof. Webb cawme to this country when he was but seventeen years of age. He nad never taken out any papers, but had served three years in the army, and being so loyal deemed” that he had a perfect right to vote and otherwise act as a full fledged citizen, It was not untit ademana came for his papers that he woke up to the fact that he bad none. Coming to this country while he was under age he is en- titled uuder the law to take out both his first aud secoud papers at the same time. But he found that he could not produce any witnesses to prove that he was only seventeen when he came here, Those with whom he got acquainted, when he lived hip. izen now than asa lad in Philudelphia, are 'now gone, he knows not where. He has lived here for twenty years, but none of his many friends here could testify as to bis being under age when he came to America, “It's mighty strunge when I've been allowed to fight for this country and to wear Uncle Sam's clothes ud vote for presidents and all that, that I have to walt five years more to prove that I am & citizen,” Such seems the case, however, unless by chance he coWEs ACK0ss S0me ne who knew him as a lad.

An_infant was found the next morning, with a note stating that the child was of American birth and that her father would never mak trouble for pos fon. Shortly after came aletter revealing the history of the unfortunate couple to whom the out- cast was born. The letter was written by the father and told a pathetic tale. Little Jessie, it said, v born in a barn October 80, 1880, Her mother was the oldest of a' lurge family of girls. As such she was made the family drudge. Hev younger sisters took lifo easy and did not offer to help her inher house- hold duties, Emplogedon the farm was @ hired man, He tooka liking to the sirl and out of sympathy married he twasnota love match inthe begi ning, but turned out so in the end. it- tle Jessie was the fruit of this marriage. Being soon unable to support the little one it was decided to leave the babe on a friendly doorstep. This was done. The arents were satisfied that Jessie’s lines ad fallen in pleasant places, and the letter closed by saying that no efforts whatsoever would be made to reclaim the child, This letter was handed to Judge Grin- nell, and he deemed it a consent of the parents to allow the Lingles to adopt the girl. Her name was changed to Ruth Edna Lingle, and she is now a pretty little miss of ten and as happy as abird, Mr. and Mrs, Lingle have con- siderable property, and they promise to take as good care of the unknown infant as if it were their own, -~ Van Houten's Cocoa—Pure, soluble, eco nomical, e ey TO MAKE PARIS A POKT. ce is toldin uit court A Navigation Company Formed and Talk of a ship Canal Political tension having ceased here, there is much talk of a scheme interest- ing the trade and industry both of France and England, says a Paris dispatch. There has long been an idea of making Paris a_port by a wide canal to the sea one of those seductive schemes the very grandeur of which indefinitely postpones them, Still, the notion of saving the time and expense of breaking bulkin receiving goods from all parts of the world has continued to engage men’s minds, Paris is a great producer and consumer, ex- porting and importing more than a dozen great ports put together, It seemed, therefore, that the Seine should be for Paris what the Thames is for London, Moreover, £100,000,000 have been ex- pended in deepening the Seine between Pavis and Rouen,, s0 s to allow vessels of six orseven hundred tonsto reach uris, The depth between Havre and Rouen is eighteen feet, but the depth of ten feet between Rouen and Paris 1s suf- ficient for the coasting trade. A French engineer has devised an apparatus, how- ever, enabling 1,000-ton vessels to come up to Paris with the present depth of water, A Paris navigation company has been formed which intends to build, chiefly in England, thirty or forty vessels of 00, 700 and 1,000 tons, plying between Bos deaux and London, Southumpton, Liver- pool, Cardiff, Newecastle, Hamburg, St. etersburg, Naples, liz, Lisbon, Tunis and Algeria, West Africa and Pa Docks and warehouses will be provided andall arrangements for rapid unload- ing, This promises a revolution in the commerciul relations between Pavis and the world, for the ve will be in- creased ns required.

The only musical instrument that Mr. Welch had about the house was an organ, and upon this one day did the little one begin play some tunes she had heard her father sing.

At Sal- inas, Monterey county, in 1870, a sheep herder named John Rhuland was missed. No one was able to explain his myster ous absence until a month later when a Mexican boy named Euladio Martinez startled the community by reporting that he had seen Francisco and Maria Al in his cabin and then set fire to it, cr mating the body. For a time it looked as though the Alviso brothers would be lyrched, but the strong feeling agai them abated when they quietly dered themselves, At their tr ¥ proved Martinez was thief and that he iated them bitterly becau ud whipped him for theft. Still the jury returned a verdict of murder in the sec- ond degree, and the judge sentenced them forlife,. They went to prison in December, 1879, nearly eloven ye Martinez soon followed them to son for robbery and again for horse stealing, Martin sickened recentl and on his deathbed he confessed to ti chaplain that he had testi the trial of the Alviso broth they were innocent, - He h: in- duced to perjure himself by one Hurry Thompson Esalinas (now deceased) and had received from him for so doing $20 in money, a suit of clothes an ailroad ticket to San Jose.

S DEATH A COMPENSATION. Rousseau's Payment for Suffering the Ills of This Life. The more intimately I enter into com- munion with myself—the more 1 consult my own intelligence—the more legibly do I find written in my soul these words, Be just and thou shalt be happy, write Rousseau in his famous *‘Confessions.” But let us not base our expectations upon the present state of things, The wicked prosper and the just remain op- ressed. At this conscience takes um- orage and murmurs against its author it murmurs: **Thou hast deceived me!” ‘Who has proclaimed this to thee? Is thy soul annihilated? Hast thou ceased to exist? O Brutus! O my son! Soil not thy noble life by turning thine own hand against it. Leave not thy hope and thy glory with thy mortal body on the field of Philippil Why dost thou say virtue is nothing when thou goest to enjoy the price of thine? Thou goest to die, thou thinkest; no, thou goest to live, and it is then that [ shall fulfill all. One would say, from the murmurs of impatient mortals, that God ought to requite their virtue in advance. Ol let us first be good and afterward we shall be happy. Letus not exact the prize before the victory, nor the wages before the labor. It is noton the course, says Plutarch, that the conquerovs in our games ave crowned; it is after they have gone over it. If the soul is immaterial it can survive the body; and, in that survival, Prov dence is justified. Though I were to have no other proof of the immateriality of the soul than the triumph of the wicked and the oppression of the just in this world, that spectacle alone would prevent my doubting the reality of the ife after death, So shocking a di ance in this universal harmony would makeme scek to explain it. I should s, “All does not finish for me with this mortal life; what succecds shall make concord of what went before. ™ ———— Starch grows sticky—common powders bave a vulgar glare, Pozoni’s is the only complexion powder fit for use. —— ANOTHER TOLSTOI NOVEL, The Russian Writes Another Book Likely to Create a Sensation. Readers of the famous “‘Kreutzer So- nata” will be interested to hear that the author, Count Leo I, Tolstoi, says a New York dispatch to the Chicago Tribune, has another work alinost ready for the press, Like the “Kreutzer Sonata,” it deals with moral questions, and is likely to cause a great sensation. The plot is simple and is based on facts, A young girl of a well-to-da family is the heroine, Of an eccentric nature she is gradually seized by the fever of revolution, which impels her to cut her hair likea man, smoke innumerable eigars,and otherwise act in_an unwomanly manner, Indue time she falls in love and being detraye: is dviven from home by her angry ents, Having no moncy she is oblig to place her child in a foundling hos- pital and there the nurse who has charge of the little one and is also a mother herself decides for some unex- plained reason to adopt the foundling and leave her own child in its plac Meanwhile the eccoentric heroine mar ries the father of her child, ~ When her father dies she inherits his property,and having by this time forsworn her revo- lutionary ideas she resolves to remove her little son from the hospital and pro- vide him with a morecomfortable home. When she reaches the hospital, how- ever, she discovers that one of the two children has just died, and that the nurse refuses o surrender the other Finally the case Is referred to o judgo, and his verdict is in favor of the nurse. So the story ends, and the natural in- ference is that the ex-revolutionist has w5t her child, and is punished in this \ N for her against societ As in the “Kreutzer Sonata" Tolstol inveighed against legalized mar- ital licentiousness g0 in this book he in- veighs against gluttony and drunken- ness and shows how conirary they are to the natural condition of man. - The new offices of the great R Island route, 1602, Sixteenthand Farnar streets, Omaha, st in the eit Call and see thom. ckets to all poir east at lowest JOHN BUX vous offen Count THESTRIK The Great Labor Leader Sympathizes With the Knights. The Central railroad strike excites much interest in London, as well as among English capitalists and railrond men, and American visitors are consid- ering the prospect of walking from New York to their homes in the west upon arriving in America, says a London cable to the New York Sun, The Eng- lish newspavers, however, present very meager details of the struggle, so little indeed that it is almost impossible to un- derstand here just what the situati John Burns, the 'y i leader, gave his views on The phuse of the que seomed tostrick him most forcibly was the re- fusal of the brotherhood of locomotive engine to come to the assistance of the knights, “It is,”’ he said, “‘theold question of the aristocracy of labor. The engincers cannot realize that by failing to succor their brother la- borers they are bringing about their own destruction. I predict that if the chief of the brotherhood allows Pow- derly to be overthrown the engincers will 'suffer most. Can they not see that when the capitalists have, with the as- sistance of the brotherhood, destroyed the knights, the capitalists will turn upon the engineers, and that they, without the assistance that that body might otherwise have been able to give them, will be f d to succumb, One of the principal reasons that led me to de- vote myself to the labor cause in Eng land was this same want of sympathy among workingmen with each othe Ten s 0go there wi here as much difference in caste between a carpenter oran engincer and an unskilled laborer ts between a member of the house of lords and a memberof a vestry, and the principal reason that the rvecent striles here have been so successful is that all branches of skilled and unskilled labor have come to recognize each other brothers. I have helped to bring about these conditions by agit r for sufficient pay for the unskilled laborer, 50 that he could hold up his head among his fellow workers, and that the skilled laborer might be forced to recognize the influence and importance of the other in the struggle, that concernsone as deeply as the other. I should like nothing bet- ter than to stand shoulder to shoulder with d in Amer if [ could do any d nd fight the battle to the finish, The knights have our sym- pathy, but sympathy is only the mustard for the meat, and I should prefer to give the beef if it comes to the point of ren- dering i However, I believe that the i workingmen will not find theiv English brethren behindhand in expressing themselves in u practical way. et enth and Farnam streets is sland ticket office. Tick- How **Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" Was Suggested to the Author. The poem of **Curfew Must Not Ring 'onight” was suggested to me by the reading of a story called "Loveand Loy- alty,” in April, 1867. I was then a plain country school girl, not yet seventeen, residing with my parentsat Lithchfield, Mich., and under the pretextof working out mathematical problems, with my arithmetic before me, I wrote the poem roughly on my slate, writes Rose Hart- wick Thorpe in the Ladies’ Home Journal, was forced to carry on my literary work under these dimuufti\'s because of the opinion of my parents that my time could be bette employed than in **idle dreams and us less rhymes.”” 1wrote the first copy on my slate, between four and sixo’clock in the afternoon; but much time has since been spent in correcting and revising it. I nud no thought that I would ever be able to write anything worthy of public notice, The poem was first published in the Detroit Conunercial Advertiser in the fall of 1870. The editor upon recipt of my manuseript, at once wrote me_a lengthy letter of congratulation and praise, in which he predicted the popularity for he verses which thay sines enjoyed. I ad no literay friends, not even a liver- ary acquaintar at that time, and did not know the simplest requirements of prepaving my manuscript for publica- tion. The poem seemed atonce toat- tract public attention. I raised me from a shy, obscure country girl into public notice, and brings to my side yearly hao of new and delightful friends. ‘Whereyer I go my friends are the fore me, and the poem—which I gave to the public with no “‘rights reserved’— while it has made a fortune for others and dropped golden coins in other pockets, has :d for its author a wide circle of admiring friends, The first and only remuneration I ever received for the poem was three years ago when the editor of The Brooklyn M ine repro- duced the poem in afac-simile autograph form, which I had given him. With a delicate sense of justice he sent me a most, com plimentary chock for thesimple privilege of reproduction.
