In sixty years the number of Episcopal

'It is doubtful whether the horse is
now anywhere found in its native
state, the wild horse of the steppes of
Tar tar y and other regions of the Old '
World being possibly animals escaped
from domestication.
In a number of States efforts are being
made to pass laws taxing bachelors.
Married statesmen will he'p to
pass the measures on the ground that
"misery loves oompany," suggests the
New York Tribune."

In the OQnne of the evidence in a
collision action in the British admit*
alty Court the other day a sailor who
wai on one of the oolliding ships at
the time. Said that he was now earn'
ing his livelihood on shore as a chimney
sweep. He had already had eight
ships sank ander him, as ihe result of
collisions, and he had at length come
, to the conclusion that he had had
enough of the sea.
Angry at a neighbor for killing his
dog, a Frederick (Md.) farmer asked a
lawyer to oollecft $10 damages for him.
Hesa'ts were alow and he seoretly gave
the oase to ancther lawyer, who wrote
the offender to cell and pay np. The
guilty man, frightened at the thought
of the two lawyers after him, went to
the first one and paid the $10, remarking
inoidentally that he had received
a letter from the other. The
lawyers met and divided the $10, and
their elient had to langh at himself.

According to the census returns,
there are in India fewer females than
males to the number of six and a
quarter millions. It is suggested that
this extraordinary diSerence may be
partially accounted for by the fact
females are so little esteemed as to be
in many cases omitted from the returns,
that female infanticide is not
totally stopped, and that siok girls are
less oared for than boys. Out of the
358,000 married girls under five years
of age there are 14,000 who are already
widows, while out of 100,000
girls between ten end fourteen years
old, crty 1373 are unmarried.

CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN DEAD.
The" Watchdog of the Treasury" Succumbs
to Spinal Meningitis.
William Steele Holman, of Indiana, tho
olc.est member of Congress in point of service.
died at Washington, Thursday, after
an Illness of several weeks. Spinal meningitis
was the direct cause of death, and the
venerable statesman had been uneoiseious
for days preceding the end.
Congressman Holman was nearly seventyfive
years of age, his birthday falling in
September. He was serving his sixteenth
teim. Mr. Holman would have been called
"the Father of the House" during late
years were it not for the fact that for over
twenty years he was known, both in and
out of the House, as "the Watchdog of the
Treasury."
j-n.
THE LATE W. 8. E0LMAX.
William Steele Holman was born in Dearborn
County, Indiana, in 1822. He had a

the Legislature, and later on was returned
to the Bench. His Congressional
career commenced with the Thirty-sixth,
and out of the twenty sessions of that body
vhich have followed he has been absent
Irom but four, the Thirty-ninth, Forty-fifth,
forty-sixth and Fifty-fourth, a record
mparalleled in American public life.
Personally Mr. Holman was of a genial and
ipproachable disposition, which lid much
to reconcile his colleagues to his course on
public matters, notably appropriations.

England at Delagoa Bay.
A squadron of eight British war ships arrived
at Delagoa Bay, the Portuguese Afri;an
possession. The advent of the squadro"

jhip has also arrived. It is thought at
Cape Town that only a naval demonstration

A Desperate Attempt Made to Slav

A Political Fanatic Trys to Stab the King
in H!a Carriage?Saye 1 by Hie Coolncu>-The
Monarch Arose from Ilia
Seat as the Steel Descended in the Coshion?Miscreant
Pnt In an Asylum.
Home, Italy (By Cable).?An enormous
sensation was caused here Thursday by an
attempt to assassinate King Humbert, as he *
was driving out to witness the Rome Derby,
which was to be decided on the Cappanelle
race course. About two kilometres from tho
city, as tho royal victoria moved sedately
along, followed by a small armed escort, a
young man, flourishing a petition, rushea
forward and almost simultaneously with the
proffer of the document darted a blow at the
King with a poignard.
?
??W WtTMBWO^ AU ITlTt
As the steel flashed not the Kin?, retaining
his presence of mind, smartly warded off
the blow, which spent its force in the ? i
cushion of the carriage.
Before the assailant could strike another
| blow Qeieral Potrizio Yaglia, who was ^
driving with His Majesty, attempted to grip _j
him, but the latter got clear and was preparing
to escape when the mounted guard
struck him instantly to the ground.
The police, beaded by Inspector Oalazzi,
rushed up and seized the man, who gave his
name as Pietro Acciarlto, aged twenty-four
years, by trade a mechanio, but out of work. |
The King continued his journey, and on
his arrival at the Cappauelle track was j|
greeted with a frantically enthusiastic reception.
After the races, on bis way home,
he was the object of a veritable triumph. J
Acciarito was brought before the Minister
of Justice and the Prefect, and he de- " ;
clared he had no accomplices, but did not ,
conceal his Anarchlstlo ideaa. It /
seems that he had dec. a red he
intended to kili a distinguished person.
He will be sent to a criminal lnnntic asylum.
Shoals of congratulatory telegrams
are pouring in on King Humbert and public
sympathy is stirred to an extent never
witnessed for years.
An attempt was made to assassinate Ktag
Humbert in 1878, ten months alter his
succession to the Italian throne. As be
was entering Naples, on November 17.
Giovanni Passananto approached tbe royal
carriage and tried to till the King with a
SignarcL The blow fell on Prime Minister
iroll, who sat In the Carriage with him,
and the King escaped with a slight scratch.
The Prime Minister was badly wounded.
Humbert sent Passanante into penal servitude
for life, after he had been sentenced to
die by th*courts.
STATE FLAG FOR GEORGIA. j
A Blue Perpendicular Stripe With Red
and White Bands Adopted.
Georgia is to have a new State flag. Acting r
Adjutant-General Oscar J. Brown submitted
to the Governor. In accordance with an act
of the Legislature, a colored design of the
flag for military headqaarters, and the same
deeign, with some modifications, will be
used for tbe regiment.
The design consists of a perpendicular
blue band one-third the length of the flag
next the staff. Extending lengthwise from
this with the fly are throe parallel bands,
each one-third as wide as the flag. The ^
middle band is white and thoee above and
below are red. Below the perpendicular
blue band the design of the 8tate seal, wjjh
tbe three oolnmns, wisdom, justice and
, moderation, Is wrongbt in gold. Below Is a
| pendant scroll bearing tho word "ueorgia."
I The material of the flag is silk, and it U to
be fringed with gold bullion or silk floss.
Bashing American Corn to Mexico.
The Mexican railroads loading from the
United States border are experiencing a very
heavy rash in American corn shipments.
There has been a series of crop failures in \
Meveral districts of Mexico, and the corn is . xjj
being brooght in to relieve the suffering
people. Many speculators are also handling
the grain. Kansas and Texas are heaviest
exporters of this corn.
Sand Storms In Kansa..
For 300 miles along the Arkansas Valley in
southwestern Kansas terrific sand storms _trt
raged, with the wind blowing forty-five miles
an hour. Toe farmers and the people In tho
towns, to avoid suffocation, sought shelter
in their homes, while passengers on trains
were compellod to travel tor several hoars in
cars closed against the great white clond of
dust and sand that crept into every crevice.
The father of 8enator Foraker, of Ohio,

all worked on tho farm, and the futuie Govj
ernor and Senator was taught to wash and *
' iron, to milk, cook and spin, and in addl- *
I lion to all this to pick tho geeso at the propI
er time of year. His first schooling was in J
a log cabin, and it was there ho wore his j
famoas coffeo sack trousers, which his J
mother provided for him when he had torn <
all others beyond recognition.
! According to tho Washington corresponj
dents, much of President McKinley's perj
sonal popularity is really duo to the deceptive
likeness of his brother Abner, whotalces

House grouuds, modestly accepting the
homages of tho charmed populace.
Colonel Warren lieese, who n is just been
