HONEST JOHN DILLON.
the New Leader of the Irish Parllar
mentary Party.
John Dillon, who has Just been elect
ed chairman of the Irish parliamentary
party, is not only an able parliamenta
rian and politician, but a qualified phy
sician and surgeon. His father was
John Blake Dillon, of Dublin, a fam
ous barrister. Mr. Dillon Inherited his
rare power of oratory from his father,
who was likewise a patriotic M. P.,
sitting for Tlpperary In 1865-66. Mr.
Dillon's mother was Adelaide Hart
He was born In 1851, and was gradu-
JOBS DILLON.
ated from the Catholic University of
Dublin. He is also a licentiate of the
Royal College of Surgeons, of Ireland.
He was first sent to parliament in 1880,
when he sat for Tipperary. In 1885 he
was elected from East Mayo. He was
re-elected in 1892. He has a good face.
An anecdote relates how a noted art
ist painted that face In a West End
London church panel as the counte
nance of St. John, where it Is admired
to-day for its serene beauty. Mr. Dil
lon is a great lover of books. His
home in North Great George's street,
Dublin, has a library rich In rare Hlber
niana and, indeed, in many valuable
and interesting old volumes picked up
by their owner through many years of
patient search. The neighborhood In
which he lives was a favorite one with
the members of the Irish parliament
It would be hard to imagine a man of
Mr. Dillon's imaginative nature living
in any but an ancient house with his
torical associations. At his best Mr.
Dillon Is as fine a speaker as any man
In his party. But he lacks constancy.
He has neither the steadiness of Healy
nor the readiness of Sexton. His sen
tences are sometimes broken and dis
jointed. But if his feelings are strong
ly moved there is a simple strength
about what he says that, taken with bis
manner, makes hltn second to none In
impiessivenoss. He has long been af
fectionately known as Honest John
DUlon.
Orographies to Blame.
Ask any hundred English men, wom
en or children what is the name of the
capital of Russia, and every one of
them will reply, "Sr. Petersburg." It
may be a small matter, bnt in point
of fact the proper name is "Peters
burg." The English are the only folk
who insist upon the "Saint." The city
was founded by Peter the Great, and is
named after him. It is quite trne that
Peter was one of the most extraordinary
men that ever filled a throne, but no
one would have been mora astounded
tbnn himself at being dubbed a saint.
He neither lived nor died in the odor of
sanctity, and it is hard to find ont how
it became the English fashion to mis
call the splendid town he founded.-'

"It seemed sort of strangest first,"
said a stroller, "to see a one legged

fact bo appeared to be as much inter

Electricity on Japanese War V easels.
The firing of great guns and the ex
plosion of shells appear to have the
effect of disarranging some of the elec
trical devices on warships. The Japa
nese legation In Paris has forwarded
to the French government a report re
lating to the recent naval combats.
In which It is stated, with regard to
the electric installations on board the
Mikado's warships, that the interrup
tions of current which took place were
not caused, as has been said, by the
recoil of the guns, but by the bursting
of Chinese shells. The working of the
ordinance maneuvered by electricity
was not Interfered with. The electric
wires used for igniting charges were,
however, broken by the vibration set
up by the firing of the heavy guns. .

Silk ribbons are used In the court of
Victoria to hold newspaper clippings
designed for the royal perusal. She
never sees the papers in their original
state. They are carefully perused by
an official, who cuts out what be thinks
will please her, pins the clippings on
the ribbons, and lays them on her table.

The man who creeps along bent over,
with his spinal column feeling in a condi
tion to snap like a pipestem at any min
ute, would readily give a great deal to get
out of his dilemma, and yet this is only
the commonest form by which lumbago
seizes on and twists out ot shape the mus
cles of the back. This is commooly known
as backache, a crick in the back, but by
whatever name it may be known, and how
ever bad it may be, 10 minutes vigorous
rubbing with St. Jacobs Oil on the afflicted
part wul drive out the trouble and com
pletely restore. It is a thing so easily
caught, it may be wondered at why there
is not more of it, but because it is so easily
cored by St. Jacobs Oil may be the very
reason that we hear so little of it.

A COMING MAN.
John K. Cowen, the flew President
of the 11a tl more and Ohio.
John K. Cowen, member of Congress
from the Fourth Maryland district, who
was recently elected to the presidency
of the Baltimore ana Ohio Railroad,
has been prominent In the politics of
his State for ninny years. lie is said
to be in close contact with President
Cleveland, and It Is argued that In view
of this fact and the political enmity
existing between Mr. Cowen and Sena
tor Gorman, Mr. Coweu's selection as
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
has no little political significance.
Mr. Cowen was born In Ohio about
65 years ago. lie was graduated from
Princeton College, at which institution
he formed an intimate acquaintance
with Robert Garrett, which is responsi
ble for Mr. Cowen's present Influential
position. The Intimacy was continued
after the young men left college, and
at the suggestion of his father, John
V. Garrett, then at the head of the Bal
timore and Ohio road, Mr. Garrett lu
duced Mr. Cowen to settle In Baltl-

more and enter the service of the road
In the legal department. Mr. Cowen
did so and was rapidly advanced, be
coming general counsel In 1872. lie re
mained In that cniNiclty until his elec
tion as president of the road recently.
Fusily Satisfied.
A manufacturer of tombstones in a
flourishing provincial town oue day re
ceived n call from a customer who
wished to buy a stone for his mother's
grave. After looking anxiously about
for. some time and milking uumerous
remarks as to his mother's taste be
finally tix-ed his gaze upon a stone
which the stone-cutter had prepared
for another person.
"I like this one," he said, decidedly;
"I'll take this."
"But that belongs to another man,"
remonstrated the stonecutter, "and it
has the name 'Francis' cut on it, you
see; thnt wouldn't do for your mother."
"Oh, yes, It would," responded the
countryman. "Mother couldn't read;
and besides," ho added, as he saw the
stonecutter's expression, "she'd like it
all the better if she could read, for
Francis was always a favorite name
of hers, anyhow."
The story Is suggestive of one told of
a London tradesman suddenly grown
rich, who, having set np his carriage
in great state, went to a harnessmaker
to have a silver letter put on the blind
ers of his horses.
"What is the Initial?" asked the har
nessmaker.
"The what?" said the rich man, look
ing blank.
"What letter shall I put on?" Inquired
the harnessmaker, suppressing his
amusement.
"Well, I hadn't quite made up my
mind," answered the customer, "but I
guess W Is about as handsome a letter
as any, isn't it?"
Slavery In Great Britain.
Slavery survived in England much
later than is generally supposed. The
word "bondage" in Northumberland
still means a female farm servant. The
coolies and suiters i. e., salt miners of
Eat Lothian were actually slaves till
1775. If they deserted their service, any
one harboring them was liable to a pen
alty of u if he did not restore them in
34 hours. The luht slave in England
was not freed until 1790, and in 1843
there was a cooly living who, as well
as his father and grandfather, bad work'
ed as a slave in a pit at MuHselburg.
