President Harrison's decision to make con.
gressmen and senators brokers who shall deal

The Prince of Wales has, perhaps, the
finest railway coach in Europe. The South
eastern built it and it contains seven rooms,
there being a study, with a little library, a
couple of bed rooms, a dressing roam and
a bath room. The bed room is most lux
uriously furnished in old gold silk, being
lighted by electricity, and the paneling is
beautifully painted. The Prince uses his
carriage for all his journeys 6outh.
Two more iron mills connected with the
Reading works have gone down, throwing

These failures and collapses in the iron

dorsement of such customs duties.

They are telling a very funny story about
Major Stofer, late of the St Louis Republic.
It seems Stofer was at the races, or some
thing equally absorbing, and entered his
office late at night, sans news, sans energy,
sans nerve, sans hustle. He found a splen
did local story In a Baltimore paper con
cerning a Missouri man, and hastily clipped
It out, marked it "Special to the Republic!'
and fired it into the telegraph office. The
next morning he received a telegram from
the home office, asking why In thunder he
had telegraphed the Baltimore market as
"news" to a St Louis paper. It had turned
out that Stofer had pasted his matter wrong
side up. Instead of sending his good story,
he had patted that down and left the mark
et report to be sent, and the St Louis paper
received word that in Baltimore lard was
worth thirteen cents, butter twenty-five
cents.potatoes $1.13 per bushel, etc. Stofer
Is one of the best fellows in the world,
which Is demonstrated by the fact that he
enjoys a good joke, even when It is on him
self a rare good faculty ,as most of us want
the joke on the other fellow.
