WAR RUMOR—That General Gat has another acher. R. CROKER having broken his leg, the Democratic party will go around on crutches until further notice. . eee THE WOMAN charged with killing her husband by surreptitiously feed- ing him ground glass is very pretty, and so the jury finds her not guilty. SOME PERSONS are so ignorant that they don’t know whether they are living in the nineteenth or twentieth century. Have we a war- map among us? C.S. BLACKBURN goes back to the national senate from Kentucky. Perhaps that is the Democratic victory that Mr. Goebel has been proclaiming all this time. se IF THE DEMOCRATS omit a resolution for free silver next year, Carl Schurz will take the stump for their ticket. We look upon this as a sinister attempt to drive them to it. HE KAISER says he is going todo for the German navy what his grandfather did for the German army. Isn't this a good place to slip in a slight remembrance of Prince Bismarck ? THE BRITISH are largely engaged in sending expeditions to the Trans- vaal to discover missing generals and expeditions which have preceded them there. It is quite a revival of the north-pole business. HE MAYOR UNFINISHED BUSINESS. A CHICAGO GIRL whose cheek was kissed by a man in the dark first went mad and then died. If the experience had been repeated a few times undoubtedly she would have kept her head and lived. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. 2 NO MORE FENIANS HE UPRISING of Irishmen the world over in sympathy for the Boers may result in the revival of the old Irish organizations, which were exceedingly effective in raising money; but there will never be another effort to capture Canada with a couple of hundred men, a large ngise and a brass band. Nothing so ridiculous can ever occur again. SUBLIME FAITH, CECIL RHODES says he believes God wants him to paint the British red over as much of Africa as he possibly can. In view of the dis- asters to British arms the faith in the sympathy of the Almighty on their part is sublime. They have him in all their prayer and conversation, and perhaps but for that they would have been whipped out of South Africa before this time. GIRLS EAST AND WEST. DOCTOR SEAVER. who has taken measurements of many girls in as many colleges, finds that the western girls are more healthily devel- oped than the girls of the east, and that the latter have larger feet. A storm of protests has followed the publication of his conclusions; but if the old falschood about the feet of Chicago girls will now be dropped his experiments will have done some little justice. A POETIC NECESSITY. R. AUSTIN'S LATER POEMS are good as to rhyme and meter; but they lack the requisite war-spirit, treating of the advantages of dying for freedom rather than of winning victories over the Boers. How- ever, Mr. Austin is not to blame for that The British soldier must fur- nish inspiration of that kind to the British poet, and it is "terribly hard work; and meanwhile the military funeral must have attention rather than the military glory. NO USE OF TRYING. WOMEN CAN NEVER be successful in crime, and especially in cases of murder. Here was Hilda Blake, who was recently hanged in Manitoba. She killed her mistress because of jealousy of the love con- ferred upon that lady by her children, whom she loved herself. Then she confessed her crime and would consent to no defense, but assisted the prosecution, The sex is too emotional and conscientious, and totally un- fitted for any kind of strenuous life; and the sooner they leave that sort of business to the other sex the better for both sexes, PEACE AND THE CHURCH. PRESIDENT ELIOT recently addressed the Episcopal clergy of Bos- ton in private session, and now Mr. Frisby, a high-church Episcopal of Somer- ville, Massachu- setts, has refus- ed an increase of salary because he thinks the tax-payers can- not afford it. Undoubtedly he is an honest man, and then again perhaps he wants anoth- er term. eee MAN in In- diana who has just died at the age of nine- ty-six was in the - habit of boast- ing that he had read every issue of the Cincin- nati Engutrer. He didn’t claim thatthe Euguir- erhad given him his long life, but a he must have had an iron con- yi Mavp—" Whi stitution, an enthusiastic golfer you must be !” Crotty New— ENTHUSIASM, BUT PERTINACITY. CHOLLY New—"'T was on the links ten hours at one stretch yesterday.” * Well, not exactly ; but (confidentially) I made up my mind to make those nine holes if it took all week.” clergyman, re- bukes the clergy in question for inviting a Uni- tarian to talk to them. “They have offered,” he says, “a gratu- itous insult to their divine Master in thus calling in the unbeliever to in- struct them.” And, after all, all the Unitarian did to offend was to tell why he didn’t care for their liturgy and to say he thought their prayer-book needed amend- ing. No; there is never to be any peace, in the church or out of it, even during the es- pecial period of good will toward men. comicbooks.com
