His Real Name.?When Lord Ran dolph Churchill was last in America, be visited Philadelphia; and, while collecting statistics relating to state prisons of Pennsylvania, he was referred to the head of the state prison board, Cadwallader Biddle. Before calling upon Mr. Biddle, however, Lord Raudolph fell into the hands of some wags of the Union League club. "You've got the name wrong," said one of the merry jesters ; it's not Cadwallader Biddle, but Bidcallader Waddle." "Don't mind what he says, Lord Randolph," exclaimed another; "the real name is Wadbillader Caddie." A third member took the ex-chancellor of the exchequer aside, and imparted to him in confidence that be was being gulled on all sides. "What then, is the actual name of the prisons board chief?" anxiously asked the noble lord. "Tho notiinl nnmo " nnnfidpd his false friend, "is Didboilader Widdle." And when Lord Randolph drove to the prisons board that evening, he was * so upset that he stammered : "Will you take this card into Mr. Bid?cad?wid?wad?did ?dollader, what's his name ? ?I mean the chief of 1 the board, but I forget his extraordi- 1 nary nomenclature combination." 11 Questions and Answers ?

The unhesitating answer came a promptly, "Pork, sir." n The same inspector was once giving d an object lesson on an umbrella. To d illustrate his subject he took his own umbrella, which happened to have a t small bole in it. s "What is this, boys?" I "An umbrella, sir." ^ "And what is this?" "The stick; sir."

The house committee on interstate nd foreigu commerce, last Friday, lade an important change in the Hep urn Nicaragua canal bill, striking out lie provision for the "fortification" nd thus providing what is expected 3 be a compromise which will aid in ringing the measure to an early conideration. The amendment was proposed by Lepresentative Barham, of California, 'he chairman of the committee was istructed to offer it on consideration f the bill at the proper time as a comlittee amendment thereto. The amendment was agreed to, not ithout some expressions of relucince; but with a view to overcoming pposition and securing action. In its ew form the section reads as follows : Be it enacted, etc., that the president of le United States he and is hereby authored to acquire from the States of Costa lica and Nicaragua for and in behalf of le United States, control of such proortion of territory now belonging to Costa tico and Nicaragua as may be desirable nd necessary on which to excavate, conduct, and protect a canal of such depth nd capacity as will be sufficient for the lovement of ships of the greatest ton age and draft now in use, from a point ear Greytown, on the Carribbean sea ia Lake Nicaragua to Breto, on the Paific coast; and such sum as may be uecjsary to secure such control is hereby ppropriated out of any money in the easury not otherwise appropriated. Sec. 2. That when the president has seared full control over the territory in . iction 1 referred to, he shall direct the 1 scretary of war to excavate and construct ' canal and waterway from a point on i io shore of the Carribbean sea near Grey- i >wn, by way of Lake Nicaragua, to a lint near Breto, and the Pacific ocean, ucb canal shall be of sufficient capacity id depth as that it may be used by vessls of the largest tonnage and greatest ( spth now in use and shall be supplied ] ith all necessary locks and other appli- | ices to meet the necessities of vessels | issiug from Greytown to Breto; and the scretary of war shall also construct such tfe and commodious harbors at the terlitii of said canal and such provision for , leir defense as may be necessary for the ( ifety and protection of said canal and ( irbors. Mr. Hepburn then announced that ' had been definitely arranged that ! le house would take up the canal bill i May 1 aud 2. Mr. Hepburn says le passage of the bill is unqtiestiona c. Mr. Barham, upon whose motion in >mtnittee the changes in the bill were fected, said : "In the amended form nple authority is given to police and rotect the canal against destruction y evil doers and by the time the canal completed, six or eight years hence, lere will be full opportunity to deteriine whether the cunal should be permnently protected by fortifications or your navy. For the present we avoid ueedless issue in no way bearing on ( le muin question of constructing the ] aterway." t Dewey Says it is Not So.?In rely to a letter from the editor of the lamilton, Ohio, Democrat, relative to paragraph which has been going the ">unds of the newspapers, Admiral >ewy has written as follows: "Dear Sir: I am iu receipt of your (tier of the 17th inst., asking if I am orrectly reported in saying; 'Well, I'll ill you what a Democrat is: In time I war a Democrat Is a uarnneu trai- ^ )r; in time of peace he is a damned >ol.'
