One of the quaint romembrancos oT Robert Louis Stevenson's South Sea life is that of his Honolulu mouse. A small shelf hung over tho couch whereon he used to lie wheu ill nnd trying to forgot his pain in "tooting" on his flagelot. On this shelf tho little mouse would venture, and soon hpenmo so tame r.n to deiight in tlie novelist's caresses. Jf it got no immediate attention it would scratch on tho shelf and make a little whine or song to attract its friend, and after a time it actually persuade ! its spouse to pay a daily visit to tho musician in its company.--Detroit Free Press. The New York PresN believes that it is full time that'a systematic and practical attempt was made to improve the t country rrtads of the Erapirt State.? Other States have made commendable R'lrauce in this directon, and it is a disgrace that the first tttuto in the Union in wealth ami population, ami one of the foremost in agriculture, should la# behind. The question ol good roads is essentially a question ol public und individual wellbeing. One of the speakers before the Assembly Committee on Agriculture forcibly illustrated this point by his assertion that "the farmers in New Jersey, where they once with a team drew a ton,with new roads are able to draw sit tons." Bad roads rob good horses an 1 vehicles of much of their practical value, besides tending to shorten their terms of usefulne s. The farmers of the -Empire State should be given every reasonable aid in putting n stop to such an evil. Emperor William, in the estimation of the New York Tribune, deserves considerable credit for the reforms i- - 1 i i *? wuivu tins mauguriuou in me liormau army in connection with the uniform ami the equipment of tho men, whose comfort and welfare are now studied to a much greater extent than ever before. The weight of the equipment has been reduced by some fifteen or twenty pound, and the tight, .stiff collar around the throat has been superseded by a loose aud open one, allowing the man to move his head and neck without difficult and to breathe with greater ease on the march in hot weather. The Austrian military authorities are following suit in the matter, and are taking a leaf out of the hook of their allies at Ber lin, among other innovations decided upon being the substitution of a gray uniform in the place of the blue one now in use in the army of Emperor Francis Joseph. During Mr. (Jleveinn I'a former administration Judge Holman, of Indiana, escorted t<> tim White House an aged but vivacious maiden lady of seventy, a nice of John Quiney Adams, who had spoilt her ehildhool there. Sin- entered the East Room. Looking round in bewilderment she exclaimed: "What, is this ? -jilly tho same old room ? Why, there used to stand a meal barrel, an 1 in yon ler corner were the washtuhs, ami from there over to there," pointing with her parasol, clothes line was urctcbc.i an i m tins corner wo kepi our playthiugs.

THE COMMONWEAL ARMY THRONGS THE CAPITAL CITY. Coxty and Hit Followers Repulsed From in < Front of the Capitol. ? Washington, D. C. ? All Washing- i ton turned out Sunday to see Coxey I and his Commonwonlers. It is estimat- i ed that fully ten thousand people went out to the Commonweal camp during I the afternoon. Congressman, diplo- i mats,Cabinet officers and plain citizens : fairly tumbled over each other to get l a look at the army. Late iu the day Coxcy spoke. At | the gr.tos to the pnrk stood a brawny representative of the "cause of good ruaus rnu.non-inieresT nearing iwuus, , who explained to the visitora' aa they I paaaerl through that no admission wim l charged, but that nil contributions < would be thankfully received. The I result was a liberal dropping of dimes and quarters, and in some instances dollars in the Commonweal cullers. < The collections were 8700. . THE CLIMAX. I Washington, D. C. ? May dnv was n bright one and Coxey and his ''Com- , monweal of Christ" army of 000 men | marched up Capital hill to the steps of t the Capitol. The police there dis- , persed them. I The leaders Browne and Coxey j pushed into the crowd in the direction , of the big white building. They walked along beside the low stone parapets surrounding the grounds, as if seeking an entrance, ^ followed by a thousand people. "Jump over the wall," suggested seme one. , (\ixi?v wfth iiiiicU- ti? iiiki* fh:' r.iiooa s tion ami ho leaped quiv-klv over tin- i parapet and made his way like nil eel throijgh the dense thickness of human ity to the steps of tlio enpihd there t?> receive his drmnntic repulse hs elsewhere recorded. Browne fid lowed, evidently with the intention of backing Coxey up, but he beeiuno separated from his chief. ' The mounted policemen, a dozen or more, who luid been directed to attend Browne through the day, hesitated a ( moment as the two lenders disappeared t amid the shrubbery. Then a blue- t coated officer whipped up his horse, < dashed across the pavement, over the 1 low parapet and into the grounds. II is I comrades followed, ami into the crowd < went this platoon, trampling flowers i and shrubs in their rush. People i scattered right ami left, and the fore- i most officer soon reached the chief i marsnai, easily uiaiinguisncu i?y his i leather coat, nud white sombrerp. The horse of the officer struck Browne,and the shock threw him to one side. He dodged behind a tree, and the officers lost sight of him for an instant. People in the crowd in danger of being trampled by the officers' horses seized them by the bridles. The police seemed to think that this was an attack on them and responded w ith their batons. Browne became wedged in < between a line of mounted police and < a number of officers on foot and when one of these tried to size him he resisted. A shower of blows descended on his shoulders. Browne fought like n tiger, shouting out that ho woh an American citizen ami had constitutional rights. He was seized 1?v several officers and pushed through the crowd. ' All this happened on the edge of the 1 grass lawn adjoining the House side of I the asphalt plaza and within plain tight of the trowda on the Capitol steps. . Old Christopher Columbus .Tones, i lender of the Philadelphia contingent, j attempted to rescue Browne from the officers, and it is said that a number of Coxeyitesassisted him. The old man's | silk hat was jammed over his ears in a < jiffy and he too was placed in custody. With a mounted >fficer on each side ol | him, their hands grasping his leather 1 collar, and followed by more officers with .Tones, the sensational leader of I the Commonweal forces was dragged off* to a cell in the police station. jxey gives his version of his fail- i ure at , the ^Capitol steps as follows: "I proceeded to the centre portico, and had just started to walk up when several police officers stopped me and told me to go back. 'I want to speak here,' I said. 'You can't,' said one of the policemen. 'I have a right to speak as an American eii'/en it is my constitutional right,' I said. They refused to let me proceed, and then I drew a written protest from my pocket, handed it to the principal officer, telling him what it was. He refused to receive it, and then T said I would read it. The officers refused to let me rend my protest. They would not let me speak, they would not let me protest; so I went back to my carriage." About > o'clock at night Chief Marshal Browne was released from the fifth preeinet station house on a bond of &"?()<), furnished liy Mrs. Kli/iilu tli A.

Canada.?About 8:30 ./clock Friday night tho inhabitant* )f the village of St. Alban, situated jome 50 miles from here in Port Nouf jonuty, heard a terrible noise, resembling the roll of thunder, in the distance. The soil commencing to vibrate, i panic ensued. Furmers ran out ol their dwellings tc 7 void being burned under tho ruins as they believed the {round was going to give way beneath them. At the upper cndof tho village, 6oine three miles from the parish church is i curve funned by tho river St. Anne ind close to tho curve is a water fall L50 feet high. The gsound forming he right hand side of the fall gave way, imrying the pulp wood mill, which ivas situated riirht underneath and locking the course of the stream. Hie stream which was very rapid on iccount of the melting snow over the maintains and adjacent valley, spread >ver the adjoining farms and caused lie undermined embankment to slide nto the river, filling it up. Several houses along the river bank vere carried into the river. One of hem was occupied by a family named tuuthier, numbering four persons, all >f whom perished. Smoke was seen :o ascend from under the ruins sliowng what an awful death the occupants oust have met. The ground which .lid into the river measured about six iqitnrc miles. Whole farms have been lestroyed and their stocks and farm roduce. The old bed of the St. Anne river is low levelled and the river runs miles roin where it coursed before. Three ridges were carried, namely the St. Mban, St. Cobimcr bridge, and the St. \niio bridge. People in the noigli orliood of the scene of the disaster ire terror-stricken. LICFNSES FOR LIQUOR.

Trade at the South Quiet.--Strength of Rice Ai a Feature. Naw York.?Bradstreet's report says: The movement of general merclian<liae throughout the country is smaller fi in volume. Spring trade in finished, tl ! and orders for fall delivery are, with few exceptions, not meeting expecta- o tions. Jobbers in leading lines at ti almost all larger citiea report aalea b nlmost without exception as of a hand P to-mouth description. * The extension of the coal and coke r': i strike accompanied by riots at Cleve- 'j land and Mesaba, Iihh emphasized the ^ depression. The industrial situation, s' therefore,lias no improvement. Strikes * ' of iron ore miners, among the building trades, with an extension of the coal '* miners strike, and the almost total n cessation of operations iti the coko re- P gions, have swelled the totnl number j of idle industrial workers to fully 215,- 1 000. Shut-downs of industrial eon- A cerns dependent on coke or soft coal " 1 for fuel are increasing, notwithstanding an attempt of coal operatives and ; operators to get together to arrange a P Mums ot settlement. There is more animation in demand t( for lumber and leather at Philadelphia, but increased prices for Bessemer pit? rt' iron and steel billets at Pittsburg and ' J other points, due in part to the Kearci- 1 ; tv of fuel, have not resulted in more '' orders. !' Throughout the South trade hafi re- [J mnined very uniformly quiet, excep- J' tions being at Charleston, Augusta and 1 New Orleans. The strength of rice is a feature. At.

HARRISON WON'T RUN IN 96. <? 1 5 Says John C. New. Except in the Event of c i Some Great Emergency. c j - The Washington Post of Wednesday J. published a statement from Gen. John 1 C. New referring to the report that his 1 son, Harry S. New, of the Indianapolis * e Journal, had publicly announced the H , candidacy of Mr. Harrison for the " s presidency Gen. New said: i "The story is a fake and my son has given utterance to no such expression.'' Gen. New, weighing his words with 1 the utmost deliberation and emphasis, continued, the Post says: . "You can state as coming from me " _ that Mr. Harrison will not be a candi- ^ date in 1896. He lias made no efforts in that direction, and will make none, f neither will his friends. J ".Short of some great emergency or . contingency like that which induces (. ? the patriot to take up arms for his 1 f country, Mr. Harrison's name will not H go before the Republican national J convention. j f "This is in accord with his own wishes, and, knowing his sentiment on j the subject so well, I do not hesitate to r brand the dispatch from Chicago as a ( f fake." r 1 t 1 What a Banker Soys About Southern Goto ^ Fields. t li Robert J. Lowry, a prominent bank- < 1 or of Atlanta, in a letter to the Atlanta t y Constitution, says: "I believe in tlie t h next twenty years, with tho modern ' devices for mining, the gold regions oi 1 p upper Georgia, western North Carolina and a part of South Carolina will ( ^ produce more gold than California ever 1 did. If our hills and valleys abound ( iu this precious metal, which they do, 1 -diould not every effort be put forth to ^ levelop them? Ijet the world know hat we have gold of the finest quality ? which ia at par the world over; give us a mint; let the general government encourage our mines by tins needful institution, when I am satisfied the result will be surprising to those who nave not looked into the question." r iMr. Lowry has carefully studied the ,, situation, and is satisfied that thereare t . sst in>Nsilii 1 ilii'H in tliH i/old ores ol I lie South.
