"That tree," said he; "has been Standing there for twenty years, and we regarded it as one of the family. My children played under it when they were babies, and it is associated with some of the pleasantest memories of my life. When it began to die we all monrned, and we could not Imagine what ailed it until yesterday, when I noticed that a wire was lying right across a branch. My poor tree has been electrocuted, and I feel as if murder had been <lone In my house." Considerably moved, the agent of the company went to view the scene 6f the tragedy, and found the tree still alive, but feeble. When he came to trace the wire, he discovered one end nailed to the roof of an old barn and the other twisted around a discarded pole. It had been qut off for at least two years, and forgotten. But the occasion de­ manded something, so he made the fol­ lowing report: "Tree alive, wire dead. Wire evi­ dently killed by free.

Promised He Wouldn't. .Dr. Edward Everett Hale, In his book, "James Bussell Lowell and His Friends," tells a story which illus­ trates the seriousness of the offense of writing poetry, in the opinion of some practical people. During the last year of Lowell's course at Harvard, his father, Dr. Low­ ell, spent most of his time In Rome. Young Lowell was, in the summer of his graduation, "rusticated," or sent off to Concord in a sort of studious banish­ ment, under a preceptor, as a punish­ ment for persistently failing to attend morning prayers at the chapel. This fact caused great consternation among bis classmates, for he had been select­ ed as class poet, and the rustication for­ bade his presence in Cambridge until commencement week. About this time a certain Cambridge citizen went abroad, and visited Rome, where he called on Dr. Lowell, and gave him all the Cambridge news. He went on thus with some of the items: "The parts for commencement have been assigned. Rufus Ellis Is the first scholar, and is to have the oration." * Dr. Lowell expressed interest. "Your son james has been rusticated, and will not return to college until com­ mencement week." The father expressed no particular interest in this sad newa. It evidently gave him no distress. ! ' "But the class have chosen himithelr class poet." / "Oh, dear!" Dr. Lowell bro£e out, despairingly. "James promised rae he would quit writing poetry and go to worlt*'* a • ' • •' * ^ -' Monkey* Have t-TiC Stc-zZ'* Why on earth should anyone wish to give a monkey measles? Presumably Dr. Albert Josias knows, for be has been trying that experiment. Measles, it appears, has been hitherto a special distinction of the human race, and, though everybody has heard of a meas­ ly pig. that is not the right kind of mea­ sles. Pigs decline to get lyunan mea­ sles, or at least they do so in France. Dr. Josias tried them with contagion, and he tried them with inoculation, and not a measle was to be seen. Then he tried monkeys--two kinds: the macaques were obdurate, but the sa- joux (whose English name escapes us) took the infection just like any spotty child.

Chicago's name was mat mentioned when the question «t location of the con­ vention came up. Buffalo, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Denver locked horns in a sharp figfat tor coaventioa honors. All four cities were represented in the coun­ cils of the committee by large delegations, and there jrere offers of special trains and all nuts «f inducements to capture the committeemen. All these suggestion! and offers were placed on file. Auditorium Meeting. A mass meeting was held at the Audi­ torium in the evening, at Which consider­ able enthusiasm was manifested. When William J. Bryan arose to speak the great theater resounded with cheers, and at every reference to the old Democratic principles of 1896 'there was enthusiastic applause. When the denunciation of the protracted war in the Philippine Islands was mentioned the audience shouted its approval. Ex-Gov. AJtgeld did not occupy a po­ sition on the stage, fie was seated in a front box with a number of friends. When his name was called there was great enthusiasm shown, and when' he stepped to the -front of the box to deliver his speech he was greeted with prolonged applause. Judge James P. Tarvin of Kentucky was the first speaker at the meeting. His address was mainly eulogistic of ex-Gov. Altgeld. He was followed by James F. Brown, who spoke in the same strain and referred to Altgeld as the "Henry George of Illinois." Mr. Brown was chairman of the famous New York "dollar dinner" committee. Senator Tillman's speech, which followed, was delivered in his char­ acteristic style. He spoke mainly on the platform question, and said that he had "three prongs to his pitchfork--silver, anti-trust and anti-imperialism." Following a speech on free silver by Congressman John F. Shafroth of Colo­ rado, Alexander Troup, national commit­ teeman, made a short speech, in which he assured the audience that New Eng­ land Democrats were for Bryan. George F. Williams next spoke, and he was fol­ lowed by ex-Gov. Altgeld. The trend of the remarks by John J. Lents was anti- imperialism, and Gen. E. B. Finley spoke on prosperity. FIEROfc PMMT NEAR IL.OH.a..

Brooklyn strikers or their sym­ pathizers destroyed a part of the Fifth avenue elevated road with dynamite, and about half the men on the Beeend'avenue line of the Metropolitan system in New York City struck in sympathy with the Brooklyn strikers. The strike on the Metropolitan system was not authorized by the leaders. Some of the more enthusiastic men who attend­ ed the Cooper Union meeting got together and decided that the only tiling to do was to strike. They formed themselves into a committee and went to the Second ave­ nue car stables early in the morning and asked the men to come out. Every car was stopped as it reached (the stables, and each man on the car was asked to quit work. The strike spread to the Sixth ave­ nue line of the Metropolitan company, where a number of motormen quit work. The conductors refused to strike. General Master Workman John M. Parsons of the Knights of Labor, who presided at the meeting in-Cooper Union, did not want the men to strike. There were disturbances at several places and four men wre arrested. It was said that those who were trying to get the men^nt were discharged employes. During a con­ ference the men told Mr. Parsons that this was only the start of a general strike of all employes of the Metropolitan Rail­ way system. At Cleveland, Ohio, the most serious •violence since the street railroad strike was renewed was Jhe blowing up of a •witch with dynamite and the burning of a small office end waiting rdftm at (Murray Hill Tuesday evening.

In 1886 she learned he was living in Spo­ kane under the asusmed name of CoL George H. Morgan, where he pretended to have married Victoria Houghton.

He seemed in good spirits then. After talking for a few minutes he cross­ ed the room, sat down in a rocking chair aad leaned his head upon his hand. Mrs. Ingersoll asked him bow he was feeling and he replied: "Oh, better." These were his last words. A second after they were uttered he was dead. There was not even a sigh or a groan as death came. Doctors were hastily colled, but their verdict was that death had oome instantly. InKeraoll'a Career. Robert G. Ingersoll was born in Dres­ den, N. Y., Aug. 12, 1833. His father was a Congregationalist clergyman of such liberal views that he was persecuted for them, and in his early life Robert G. Ingersoll imbibed an intense hatred of Calvinism, which grew with his growth, and finally made him an aggressive oppo­ nent of all generally received forms of re­ ligion. By the removal of his family to the West Mr. Ingersoil's boyhood was spent partly in Wisconsin and partly in Illinois. He studied law and in partnership with his brother began its practice in Shaw- neetown. In 1857 he went to live at Peoria, 111., and'there laid the foundation of a lucrative practice. In 1862 he be- onptnin of tho E!$vP2th Illinois CRY* airy, and after the war was over he be­ gan to be heard as an orator. In 18G3 he became colonel of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry. In jwtn v, . At­ torney General for Illinois. He was an intimate friend of President Lincoln and President Garfield, and a profound ad­ mirer of Roscoe Conkling. In 1876 Mr. Ingersoll proposed the name of James G. Blaine in the national Republican convention in a speech so eloquent that his own fame, hitherto somewhat restricted, extended to all parts of the country. In 1877 he refused the post of minister to Germany. As a law­ yer Mr. Ingersoll had been connected with the most famous modern cases. He defended the "star route" case and was associated with others of national impor­ tance. Col. Ingersoll was perhaps the ablest exponent Of free thoupht the world has known. Although he was the inveterate eaemy of the Christian religion, such men as Henry Ward Beecher and Bishop Pot­ ter were among his personal friends. At one time Col. Ingersoll was on the Su­ preme bench of Illinois. During the last two years he had made New York his home.
