The emperor was not present, and in his absence Chancellor von Caprivi read the speech from the throne, opening the session. The speech mude no referance to foreign uf fairs. It announced that bills would be in troduced dealing with the apolicat fon of th Guelph fund, elementary education and ex tention of government railways, Referring to the finapcial situation, the speech de scribed ivas loss favorable than it was in 1501, It was not improbable that there would be a acficit, owmg to the increased expenditures. ‘The speech, in referring to the labor question, expressed satisfaction thut by means of the June amendment to tho labor bill the provisions of the trade law, se- curing Sunday rest for workingmen and regu lating the work of women and children, would henceforth be applicable to the work ers in mines. He added that a bill extend iniz the operation of other provisions in tbe trade law to miners would shortly be pre- sented in the bouse.

S. Clark, a trial juror, and place him in the county jail. It was just as the court was about to convene for the afternoon session and the trial jurors haa just taken their places in the jury box for the purpose of hearing the closiug arguments in the Most- Blake assault case, which has been on trial all week, Judge Dewoy noticed one of the jurors, W.

He h ad all the appearance of a profess- ional lady-killer, including a red necktio and an India-rubber smile. He stared at all the Jadies in the car as he walked down the aisle. He was picking out a victim and doing his work with the air of a man who knows not defeu It didn’t take him long to make a selection. He picked out o young married woman who occupied one of the front seats of the car with u little girvl, and seated himself across tho aisle, a short distance behind her. The soon-to-be-mashed’s little girl was alternately playing in the aisle and sit- ting by her mother, During one of the child’s frolics in the aisle the gentle- man from Batavia caught her eye and beckoned to her. The mother saw her child start to run away, looked in the direction which she was going, saw the masher and smiled. This was all the encouragement the lady-killer wanted, He called the little girl to bhis side, wrote something on a card, and s :id to the child: “Take this to mamma.” The litile one obeyed, and this is what mamma read: “T should be delighted to make your acquaintance,” The mother’s fuce turned scarlet as &he read the note, but she wrote a reply to it and sent it by the little girl. Then she turned her gaze on the masher, The littlo girl delivered the message and this what the fellow read: “Por- haps you can get my husband, who is sit- ing. directly behind yoa, to intro- duce us,” The masher looked up. His intended vietim was still staring at him, Then involuntarily he turned his eyes towaad the person occuping tie seat behind him, Another pair of eyes was regard- ing him with a fixed, stony gaze. Sud- denly the India-rubber smile lost its elasticity, even the red necktie sesmed to grow dull in color, and the lady-killer us suddenly concluded thut he wanted n smoke worse than ever before in nislife, ———— A Story of Longfellow, Four Boston men had a )ittle supper at the Quinoy house two or three nights ago, says the Hoston Herald, Towurd midnight an epidemic of retrospection broke out among them, One told a queer story of an en- counter with the mayor of a southern city, another gave hisexperiences in the far wost, and another described s funny encounter with a senator uta wvestern capital ‘The fourth was an Irishman who came to this country about a dozen or more years ugo, engagod in business, and bas nspered steadily ever sinc e told A M *When I came Lo this country lad fresh from old Irvelund.

Retirement of Judge Beck from the Towa Supreme Bench, Judge Joseph M. Beck, who last week retired from the supreme court of lowa, giving way to Judge Kinne, the new democratic member of that tribunal, was the patriarch of the highest bench in the state, says the Chicago Times. For twenty-four years he had sat as a member of that august body, thus giving the longest continuous service since ths organization of the court. He is a learned lawyer and has been an upright judge. The taint of judicial dishonor has never soiled his ermine. While his opinions in one or two instances have been severeiy criticised, 1t has never been suggested that they were inspired by other than conscientious motives. Judge Beck is a modest, unassuming man, whose sole ambition secmed to be to die in the judicial harness, but the political fates were against him, and he accopted the result with good grace. His career hasbeen closely interwoven with the history of the state and he talked n day or two agoof his experi- ences and incidentally of some things not divectly relating to his offici il cureor. *I wonton the supreme bench January 1, 1868,” said he, ‘‘and have been there continuously ever since. a period of twenty-four years. Yes,it is along time, and as I look back to it can but feel how greatly she state and its capital city have grown. When [ firet went to Des Moines it had about 6,000 inhabitants aud only one line of railroad. The whole state has grown in proportion with the cit{, and the work of the supreme court Has grown with the state. The publishing' house which prints the reports for all jthe supreme courts of the states published a synopti- cal report recently whidh:showed that more cuses were iried in the supreme court of lowa in the year1888 than in any supreme court of any other ‘state except Texas and Pennsylvnmu “During my term uppn:'the bench T have been called upon tp assist in put- ting a construction and interpretation of the law upon many queamunp‘ such as those relating to the” immense land grants for railronds, 'the agricultural college lands, swum*; lands, ete. The code, the system of pleading and prac- tice. have all come up for a true con- struction and interpretation. Tax title and insurance laws have been passed upon by the court und have become so thoroughly settled and understood that now there is comparatively little litiga- tion in these lines. The law re- lating to a change in the sys- tem ~of county government from county judges to the board of supervisors has been interpreted by this court, and indeed a major part of the 1aws governing the state have had to be interpreted and a true construction put upon them. This has all passed through the court during my twenty-four years of service, and I am proud to have lent what apility I may be possessed of to this great worlk. “I'am proud of Towa, and never was more 80 than during my recent visit to Burope. Tinentioned while at a dinner table in England that I believed within ten or L\vcntv years the purest pronun- ciation of the English tongue would be found in Iowa. My English friends seemed surprised and asked me ‘why?’ Beeauge we have 20,000 young women teaching school in that state, I replied, and they first it themselves thoroughly in the normal schools for the task. They talk correctly, as a rule, and when after a few years of teaching they marry und becomie mothers, they teach their own children from infancy the true style of pronuncintion. “But I want you 'to tell the people about my fad, for it is a great fad of mine; that is, the state library. When I first went to the capital that library consisted of a few broken sets of reports. Today it is one of the five gre:t libraries of the country. The five are Massachu- sotts, Now York, Pennsylvana, Cali- fornia and Towa. T could tell you an amusing story that will illusteiite how little is known in the east about our library. When Altorney General Brew- er votived from office he gave up prac rg the law, and knowing I was a stee of this library wrote me to the effect that he had a very complete set of all the American reports, that he had no further use for them, and thought the best place to sell them would be to one of the thriving western cities. Would [ buy them for Towa? I wrote a reply thanking him and told him Towa had'a full set of the A'hlerican reports “Tcommenced my judidinl career with volume Towa ih‘)mrl*. and the eighty-third volume is'naw in the print- er’s hands. I thinl¢ this will show I have had some little to'do with shaping the legal statutes of the state of Towa.” Judge Beck gave &n tinteresting nc- count of his trip to Eérépe and, among other things, suid that'fhile in London he met Mr, Phelps, thg;Xmerican minis- ter, whom he consideys the finest, most talontod representabisg the United States hus ever sent tathe court of Jumes. **Mr. I'hulpl’ln a lawyer and a brilliant one,” ¥aid tho judge, “and ho was epjhpsiastic ' over the manner of gonducting the courts of England, "I was of the same opinion a8 he rogarding them, and reminded him that the whole fabric of our judicinry system was bused upon glish law.

The latter championed the interests of the veterans, and de- nounced Mr. Kilgore for uttering state- ments that he knew to be false. To this the Texas congressman responded: *‘General Spinola is too old a mau for me to characterize us he deserves, but if the gentleman has n henchman to do his bidding I will denou him as a liar on the floor of the house.” It was only the night before that Kilgore had made himself conspicuous by his bitter objections to a bill to erect & monument to the memory of the 11,500 martyrs who perished in British prisgn-ships in defence of American liberty. In September following the Texas congressman again made himself heard when the vesolution to grant a pension for the support of the family of the late jeneral Sheridan was called up. Mr. Kilgore again rose to object, and added: “My purpose is to beat the bill, and there 18 no misunderstanding that lan- guage.” Another of Mr. Kilgore’s con- spicuous outbreaks was when he was charged with attempting to defeat the action of congress on the Chinese exclu- sion bill by putting the bill in his pocket and carrying it away from the capitol. When arraigned for his action he declared that there was no power in law nor in congress to make him take the bill to the president until he got ready. A second thought, and some outside suggestions. prompted him to relent. Later, when Senator Ed- munds’ bill appropriating $100,000 for the Florida yellow fever sufforers was put upon its passnge in the house he raised an objection and caused the bill to b laid aside. And so it goes on year after year with Mr. Kilgore. When his time comes to depart this life he will probably still be found, in‘a minority of one, exclaiming, *‘T obmcc ) nrief Hoss scrn Mail matter is now sent from Paris to Berlin by pneumatic tubes, and is some- times delivered within thirty-tive min- utes.

A galvan- ometer placed in the circuit showed at once the changes in elevation, or whether the kite was rising or falling. The developinent of gas moto: uring the past thirty years is significantly illustrated by the fact that at the last Pavis exposition sixty different models were shown, whereas at the exhibition of 1863 only three were exhibited. ——————— An Irish Story, London Spectator: A farmer was put Price | Worth 2 Guinea a Box."” | 26¢.

In the course of the trlal surgienl evidence was given that the skull of the deccased was no thicker than an egasholl.
