Why Humanity I Dwarfed.
Woman has not suffered alone from
the denial to her of political equality
The human race is like a man who
through infancy, youth and manhood
has compelled his right leg to bear the
bnrdeu of his body, regarding the left
merely as an ornamental appendage, to
he swung up by supports and tricked out
with ribbons, lace and jewelry. The one
would be nerveless and feeble, the other
lame and' overworked, and the progress
of the whole body would be halting, un
even and slow. So with the body pol
itic. 'All who are interested in public
affaire feel how lame, unequal and im
perfect is the advance of society, and
how heavily drag the mighty interests
of the great republic.
It will be no better till complete jus
tice is done to 'woman. With her en
franchisement there will come a nobler
era. Then, with interests that are iden
tical, with a hnmanity common to both,
the masculine head married to the femi
nine heart, wisdom supplemented with
love, man and woman shall together
work out the great problems of life, and
nobler and better civilization shall
come to the waiting future. Mrs. Mary

The demand of the time is to move
weight over distance at the least possi
ble cost to it on slow freight or fast pas
senger trains. There are hundreds of
locomotives in - service of about forty
tons . weight, capable of hauling a train
of 100' tons at the average running rate
of sixty miles an hour. But that is not
the kind of fast train that ' our railroad
managers want. They are required to
make money for the companies employ
ing them, and they realize that it pays
much better to use locomotives weigh
ing sixty tons that are capable of haul
ing a fast train of 300 tons.
It is a curious study, and one that is
interesting to some minds, to investigate
the rapid speed that might be made with
safety with locomotives having abnor
mally large drivers, but as far as the
bearing on American railroad operating
is concerned. It is just as practicable as
speculations or calculations respecting
the time it would take a balloon of cer
tain proportions to reach the moon.

a. gooa story comes an toe way from
San Francisco. . It is said that a lady ap
plied to her physician in that city for ad
ice and a prescription. He had long at
tended her and her family, and on this
'occasion he recommended that she go to
popular watering place in that part of
the country, giving her a letter of intro
duction to a physician who resided at
the springs. ,
i On the way there the lady remarked
to her daughter that as long as her doc
tor had been treating her he had never
stated just what was her ailment. "I've
a good mind to open this letter and see
what he says of my case to the other
doctor." Acting on the impulse she tore
open the envelope, and. taking out the
letter, read, "Dear Doctor Keep the old
lady four weeks, and then send her back
to me." -Detroit Free Press.

CAREER OF DE ROtfAS.
ADMIRAL DAHLGREN'S BROTHER A
SOLDIER OF- FORTUNE.'
Am Early Quarrel Estranges Them for
Life His Service on Two Continents wi th
Garibaldi His Unrecmensed Service
for Victor KmaoaeL
Admiral William de Rohan, who died
in this city, was one of the most remark- -able
men of this century, and a complete
sketch of his life would read like a chap
ter from mediaeval history. He was of
Norse descent, his father having been a
Swedish- nobleman, and he was Ixjrn
Dahlgren, his elder brother being Ad
miral Dahlgren, of the United. States
navy, whose services afloat during the
war, as well as his advanced improve
ments in ordnance, make such a bright
page in the history of our navy. Another
brother.' younger, Charles Dahlgren,
took sides with the south during the
war and was a- general officer.
De Rohan was nearly six feet in height,
broad shouldered and deep chested, and
in his prime of life must have been one
of the most powerful men living. His
head was Websterian in its proportions.
THE BROTHIt"S FIGHT.
Away back in the forties, when Will
iam had grown to man's estate in years.
Admiral Dahlgren, then a lieutenant,
was stationed at the navy yard here en
gaged in the ordnance departments, that
made his name famous for the style and
method of building the great ship guns
that bore his name and that fought the
naval battles of the civil war. One day
Dahlgren, the elder son, saw fit to take
William severely to task for something,
and that brought on a storm of angry
words on both sides that resulted in the
younger man knocking the older brother
into a corner of the room. Dignity for
bade a personal altercation, and Dahl
gren had an officer sent for.
Taken to the old City h all, William
was sullen and unrepentant, and though
family and neutral friends tried to stop
proceedings, Dahlgren pressed the case,
and the offender was fined $100 for the
assault. Then Dahlgren told the magis
trate that if William would make a
public apology for having struck an offi
cer of the navy while in uniform he
would be willing that the penalty be set
aside. . . .
"Never! Never!" said William. "1
will never apologize nor even speak a
word to you while God lets me live; and
more, while you live I will never again
bear the name that you do." . ,
So they parted in the mayor's room at
the City hall, and William assumed his
mother's name of De Rohan, by which
he was known thereafter at home and
abroad to the day of his death. His
mother was a member of the princely
family of De Rohan, of France. .
--. Going abroad, his family connections
and ample means brought him into in
timacy with persons of the highest rank
in life, among them being Admiral Ho
bart (Pasha), of the Turkish navy, and
with him he took service under the sul
tan, with the rank of captain.
HIS CAREER IN ITALIAN WATERS,
Leaving the Turks he went to the
Argentine Republic then Buenos Ayres
with Garibaldi, and commanded the
naval forces of that country in the suc
cessful revolution that brought indepen
dence. After that, when Garibaldi came
to this country, De Rohan went to Chili
and became admiral of the Chilian navy.
Late in the fifties he joined Garibaldi,
with whom he ' was in constant corre
spondence, in Europe, andentered heart
and soul with him in his plans for the
unification and independence of Italy.
While the great liberator directed and
commanded the land forces De Rohan
was made admiral of the revolutionary
navy, which was confirmed by Victor
Emanuel.
He was an admiral without it fleet, for
they did not have a single vessel heavier
than a coral fishing felucca; but he was
energetic, and by a very liberal outlay
of funds from his private purse and con
tributions by English and French friends
he actually succeeded in purchasing and
arming three good sized merchant steam
ers, with which he escaped to Sardinia
and reported to Victor Emanuel.
It was on thfese- vessels that the then
king of Sardinia and such troops as he
had were transported to the mainland of
Italy, and history tells of the result
During the siege of Rome Admiral De
Rohan commanded the marine division
under Garibaldi and supervised the ar
tillery fire.
Other forms of government than re
publics are at times ungrateful, and it is
so in this case, for, while Admiral De
Rohan spent nearly $350,000 in providing
the means that gave the throne of Italy
to the house of Savoy, he never was re
paid a penny, and died in - Providence
hospital here, cared for by charitable
friends.
Daring a number of years he resided
in England, where he became interested
in the formation and workings of the
British naval reserve, in which he was
commissioned a commander by the ad
miralty. During the civil war he was
intensely loyal to the north, bat refused
to take service in our navy lest he might
at some time be brought tinder the com
mand of his brother. Admiral John Dahl
gren. - -
Put off by various excuses and neg
lected by Victor Emanuel in his attempts
to' secure ..repayment of the : immense
sums advanced to Italy, he came home
about 1871 and laid his claims before the
secretary of state.
' In the belief that something wonid at
least be accomplished, De Rohan went
abroad again; and for several years tried
to-work Jome mines he, owned in Sar
dinia or Sicily, but. he lacked capital for
the' work," and returned home to find his
case si timbering as neglectedly as though
no, one in the state department had ever
heard of it. r It i

A PRACTICAL JOKER,
Ins mt Ferklas Harmless but Aaaasfcjg
Tricks Which ' He Perpetrates.
Perkins is tall, angular and a practical -joker
of the severest type. One of hia
peculiar pleasantries - is to suddenly halt
a strange, pompons individual on the
Street, buttonhole him and remark with
cool assumption: , .
"I beg your pardon, sirj but I think
yon have made a mistake."
"What is that, sir?" the victim is like
ly to ask.
"Well," Perkins will reply with the
utmost audacity, "this city does not be
long to any one man or set of men. Yon
may think you own it, but you don't.
See?" and Perkins will hurry away, leav
ing the pompons man to his own reflec
tions. . . . i
Sometimes ' he varies this interesting
peformance in this highly original fash
ion: Stepping up to a total stranger he
will beg for a light for his cigarette.
This trifling favor having been extended,
he will engage his victim in conversa
tion for a moment.' When another
stranger appears Perkins hails him. As
he approaches Perkins introduces him to
the first man.
"Ah, Mr. Smith, permit me to present
you to my friend, Mr. Brown. Mr.
Brown, Mr. Smith."
Of course the men shake hands and
Perkins takes his departure, leaving the
strangers to extricate themselves from
their embarrassment as best they can.
One day Perkins entered a small east
side dry goods store with a friend.
Ranged in front of the counter were a
row of stools. Upon these the men seat
ed themselves. In a moment a dapper
young clerk came up and asked Perkins
what he desired. For an instant he
seemed puzzled for a reply, but soon his
eyes rested upon the familiar sign "If
you don't see what you want ask for it."
That furnished him with a clew.
"Well," he said in measured tones,
"you can bring me a plate of corned beef
hash, nicely browned, with two poached
eggs on top; also a cup of hot coffee.
What's yours, George?" he added, turn
ing to his friend.
"Gimme the same," he responded. '
All the girls in the store stared hard
at the impudent fellows, and the clerk's
eyes began to bulge. . -., .
"Gentlemen," he replied, with a show
of calmness, "you have made a slight
mistake; this is a dry goods store and
not a restaurant. . Do I look like a
waiter?"
"1 am not here to answer questions,
young man," said Perkins, as with his
friend he rose and moved toward the
door, "but if you can't fill orders you'd
better go out of . the business or take in
your sign."-T , , ; i ; ..,
And the jokers vanished out the door.

Two Stories About the Bible.
According to a story now current in
Washington clubs, Commander Schley
of the navy received among his boyhood
Christmas , presents a handsome Bible
from a rich aunt.. After a moment's re
flection, they say, he exclaimed:. "I'm up
to that dodge," and began examining the
volume eagerly leaf : by leaf until he
reached the Sermon on the Mount, where
he found a ten dollar bill pinned to the
page. This is no better story than that
of George Hayward's gift of a big Bible
to the old city club. ,',.,;
.In the presence of witnesses he put a
ten dollar bill in the book at what chap
ter is not stated. . The volume lay on the
center table in the reading room. : At
the end of a year, in the presence of the
same witnesses, Mr. . Hay ward opened
the Bible and found his ten dollar bill
just where he had left it. There was
nobody in that club who was "up to the
dodge" which young Schley penetrated
so promptly. Buffalo Courier.
The Mushroom.
It is commonly believed that the
mushroom literally grows in a night, so
that it has come to be emblematic of
sudden development, but the truth is
quite otherwise. It is very likely to re
quire several weeks for its formation,
and up to the time of its appearance in
the light of day it remains beneath the
surface, very much compressed and held
in small compass. Then comes a moist
night, and the cells of which the fungus
is composed are greatly expanded, so
that it thrusts itself out above ground.
But it is no heavier, though so -much
bigger, than days before, perhaps, when
it lay hidden in small compass under the
top layer of soil, a perfect mushroom.
