Alfonso XII. Is twenty-one. 
Senator David Davis sayB that three days are 
enough to love, court and marry la. 
Mr. sartorla, Nellie Oran fa husband. Is Bald to 
have grown aldermanlc In size, and now bears a 
striking resemblance to t he 1’ilnce of Walrs. 
Mr. O. C. Fulton, editor or the Baltimore Ameri¬ 
can, made a 105 days’ trip to Europe on less than 
$i,oou, and says he didn’t try to economize, either. 
Air. Moody aajs he has parted from Sankey for 
uyear, until he cau get some new sermons, the 
old ones having boon published and republished 
so many times that he 1 b ushamed of them. 
Twelve years ago Deacon Beneon or Ft. Wayne, 
lnd., a man then forty-eight years old, w»b worth 
$ 500 , 000 , no. speculated, lost money, became a 
passenger conductor, then u.saloon keeper, then 
a street car d-lvcr, then a pauper; last week he 
died In the hospital and was burled In the Potter’s 
Field. 
Senator Stanley Matthews had to be pulled reel 
foremost out of a back window In Washington 
the other night—not that there waa any f lng the 
male r with Mr. Matthews’ head (for he never 
gets so), but the vehicle that he was riding In 
upset and smashed against a pile of street debris, 
and bo had to be extracted from It. In that undlg- 
nlQed manner. 
A twenty-pound keg of powder exploded In the 
arms of Colonel William J. Sanford, Democratic 
nominee for congress In the Third Alabama dis¬ 
trict, when lie was a boy, and on hearing that 
the lad had escaped without injury, Senator 
Yancy predicted that he wouid live to bo liuug— 
or elected to something. 
The lack of sympathy In some papers is atro¬ 
cious; witness this way of “putting It’’ bylone 
of them; “ llepworth Dixon has gone to Cyprus, 
has tumbled ofT his horse and has broken kta col¬ 
lar bone—and yet there be people In England who 
make loud-mouthed affirmation that the annexa¬ 
tion of the Island has been produceve of nothlcg 
but evil.”
