Mr. Andrew Lang used to write anony mous articles for the magazines, but now he always signs his name to his pieces, for fear some fool should ask “Why doesn’t auld Lang sign ?” The most desperate gambler at Aix-les- Baines this fall is an old woman, Greek by birth. She plays high and with great cool ness. Her personal appearance is said to he the reverse of attractive. Amos S. Hollowell, the antiquarian book dealer of Cleveland, is dead, aged 61. He was bom in England, commenced business in Cleveland in 1856, with 200 volumes, and the stock he has left exceeds 40,(XX) volumes. Express Messenger Smith, who made game of two train robbers, will get about SB,OOO for each of the splendid shots with which he brought them down. This ought to encourage the sport among other messen gers. Preparations for hanging the seven An archists in the county jail at Chicago have been begun. Carpenters are build ing the scaffold, the ropes have been bought and tested, and the suits and black caps ordered. The Baltimore municipal election occurs to-day, and it is alleged that the Republi cans intend to attempt to try to carry it by fraudulent means. The Democratic man agers, however, can be depended upon to defeat any such attempt. Bishop McQuaid threatens to excommu nicate those who go to hear Dr. McGlynn lecture, but he will hardly do so. The church can patiently wait for the ex-priest to talk himself into obscurity. People will become tired after a little. There is said to be danger of civil war among the Cherokees, on account of the murder of Editor Stone by Editor Roudinot. Their pa pore represent the opposing political parties, and Indian politics is always hot, with ready appeal to pistol or rifle. A syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists en tered into possession of the famou* Bedford Springs property on Oct. 1. The price paid was $250,000, one-fifth of which was paid in cash, the balance to draw interest at the rate of 6 per cent, for the next ten years. Bartley Campbell will come out of the asylum to find that bis estate has been as completely administered on as if he bad been dead—divided out between the lawyers and his heirs. Not many men have had ouch an opportunity to commence an abso lutely new life. There is said to be more eager bidding among the base ball managers for the best players than has ever been known before, and the salaries paid will be very large. This indicates that the profits of the more successful clubs the past season were more than usually satisfactory. The 12-year-old wife of a Connecticut man has deserted him for a burnt-cork artist of the minstrel stage, and is now traveling with her lover. She showed the impatience of youth in not waiting for a divorce, and will no doubt be made to suffer for her dis regard of the settled customs of the com munity. It is to be feared that the Republicans may gain some advantages in Ohio by the appearance of Gov. Gordon and other ex- Confederates on the Democratic stump. The cry is already raised that there is an “invasion of rebel Brigadiers.” There are some men too small to be argued with, but who nevertheless have votes. A Brooklyn preacher named Decker, who was last week expelled from his church for immoral conduct, on his own confession, is going to try to make a pocket full of money by delivering lectures on his own fall. He exfiecta to make his speculation in his own infamy profitable, but the indignant com munity ought to drum him out of town The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette re fuses to believe even its own witnesses when they testify in favor of the South. It refers to the “degradation and utter im poverishment” of the labor by which Alabama iron is produced, notwithstanding Judge Kelley’s statements that such labor is ftoout as well paid as in Northern States. The Morning News is sorry it supplied the word “inches” in a paragraph of the Chattanooga Times giving the size of the President's head as ii l% in circumference.” It seems that the 'limes incant foet, and did not wish to be taken literally, but onfy in tended by harmless exaggeration to give an idea of the man’s bigness. It is readily con ceded that, even if the Times doesn’t know much about the measurement of huts, it bos discovered a fact of very much more importance that Mr. Cleveland is the big gest man in the country in some respects. State Fairs in the South. Interest in Slate and county fairs is stead ily increasing in the South. This is u sure sign of prosperity. Tl ejteople are produc ing something they are prnuil of. They are anxious for the world to see what they are i getting out. of their soil, forests and mines, i and what their mills are doing. They ! are growing richer, and are giving more at ‘ tention to fine stock. At tlieir lairs in all I the Southern States they can show as fine cat i tie, hogs, sheep and poultry as can bo found m the most favored of the Northern States. They are just beginning to find out the pos sibilities that are in their soil and climate | for the production of fine fruits. Oranges I have been grown in Florida [ since its first settlement, but what wonderful progress lias been maJe in improving the ipialily and increas ing the varieties of the fruit within the last few years! Florida no longer boasts of her oranges alone. She has many other kinds of fruit which are being gradually advanced to the highest perfection. At her Sub tropical Fair at Jacksonville, next winter, there will be a display of b r products that will cause the hearts of her people to swell with pride. One groat fair has just ended in ttiis State, and another began on Monday. Thousands of people from this and other States are gathered at Macon this week, inspecting the evidences of Georgia’s growth and pros perity. They will see a great deal that will convince them that new sources of wealth are being discovered, and that the old ones are yielding rich returns. I,ust week the Alabama State Fair was held at Montgomery, and it is probable that those at the fair who were acquainted with the productions of the State a quartor of a century ago were amazed at the evidences of new industries and new sources of wealth. The portions of the State which were re garded as almost worthless when only cot ton was thought of are now the richest. Iron and coal are taking a lcadi ng place among the State’s productions, and the probabilities are that they will become more productive sources of wealth than cotton. On last Thursday the State Fair of Texas was opened at Dallas. What a marvelous growth that State has had! There were visitors, doubtless, at the Dallas fair who, as they inspected the evidences of the wealth and numerous industries of Texas, recalled with amazement the time, not very distant, when there was scarcely a town of impor tance within her borders, when there were comparatively few acres of her soil under cultivation, and when her productions were s<* insignificant as to attract no attention whatever. What a change has taken place in a few years! Texas has now a population of over a,500,000, more than 20,000,000 acres under cultivation, and some 7,000 miles of railroad in running order. She is already the Empire State of the South in wealth and population, and if her growth continues at the same rapid rate she will be the Empire State of the Union in another generation. All the Southern States are growing, and some of them at a marvelous rate. There is no better place to see this than at their State and county fairs. Let the fairs, therefore, bo sustained and encouraged in every possible way. The benefits derived from them are worth many times their cost. Not a Place lor Slugging Matches. The slugging match between Mr. J. F. Manning, a Boston lawyer, and Mr. Mc lennan, the chief of the Warrant Division of the Treasury, in the ante room of the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, must have given the distinguished Englishman, who was having an interesting interview upon an important matter with the Secretary at the time, the idea that there is not much red tape in settling personal difficulties at the national capital. The affair was a disgrace ful one, and the offenders ought to be punished so severely that nothing of the kind would likely occur in any of the de partments again. According to Mr. Manning’s story he addressed an insulting remark to Mr. Mc- Lennan, the purport of which was that he had accepted a bribe. Before Mr. Manning fully realized what had occurred he had a bruised eye and bloody nose. In this con dition he rushed into the Secretary’s private room, interrupted the conversation between the Secretary and the distinguished English- • man, and demanded protection against the infuriated Mr. McLennan. The Secretary could hardly have been otherwise than mor tified at an occurrence which appeared to reflect upon the management of the depart ment, and which -was not easy to explain satisfactorily. Mr. McLennan of course, had sufficient justification for striking Mr. Manning, but he ought to have selected a different time and place for that sort of work. He can offer no satisfactory excuse for inaugurating a fist fight not only in the Treasury building, but on the very threshold of the private of fice of the Secretary. The impression will get abroad that reforms other than those which have been begun, are needed in the civil service if there are any more rowdy scenes in the departments at Washington in which government employes are involved. “If ever a man had a good, faithful, lov ing daughter,” says Warden Durston, of the Auburn prison, “James D. Fish has one. She is as constant in her visits as the prison rules will permit.” Miss Fish, since her father’s confinement, has made her home at Auburn. The poor littlo waif, whose mother, Sallie lieber, the sweet singer, died in giving birth to at Leonia, N. J., is being cared for by Miss Fish. The little girl is now nearly 2 years old, and it will be remembered that Mr. Fish claimed after Miss Retor’s tragic death, that he had been secretly married to her just before the collapse of the bank. It is now stated that the first report of the death of Lady Brassey did not tell the whole truth. Bhe was uot buried at sea, but sprang overboard while delirious with fever, and was drowned in spite of the efforts of her husband, who promptly sprang after her into the water. The many in this country who have read her delightful book, “The Voyage of the Sunbeam,” will be shocked to know that the author met so tragic a fate from the deck of the vessel which figured so largely in her story. The royal families are getting ready their presents for the Pope on the occasion of his jubilee. Kaiser Wilhelm will send a jeweled mitre valued at $4,000. Empress Augusta will present the l’ope with a costly set of robes to be used in celebrating mass. The Queen of Saxony’s gift will to a basin for consecrated water, costing $l,OOO. The Prince Regent of Bavaria will give two stained glass windows representing Pope Gregory und Pope Leo the Groat for the Boalu Kogiua in tire Vatican. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1887. Gov. Hill Slandered There appears to he a great deal of activity I in circulating the report that Gov. Hill, of New York, is secretly working to defeat his party in New York this fall in order to in crease his chances for getting the Presiden tial nomination next year. Those who be lieve he is doing anything of the kind can not have a very high regard for him. 1 here is nothing wrong, of course, in his trying to elevate himself to the Presidency in a fair and honorable way, hut there is much that is wrong in his trying to do it in the way alleged. The defeat of the Democrats this fall in New York would of course tend to create the impression that Mr. Cleveland could not carry that State. That it is necessary that he should carry that State if ho is nomi nated is admitted. The aim of the Democrats will he to nomi nate a Presidential candidate who can carry New York, and it cannot lx; denied that a Republican victory there next month would give Mr. Cleveland’s political enemies a chance to cast a doubt upon the advisability of nominating him. They would urge Gov. Hill’s nomination on the ground of his abil ity to carry New York. Gov. Hill, however, could hardly assist in carrying out such a programme. His part in it would become known, and his political career would he ended. He is altogether too wise to take such a risk even if his in clinations were in that direction. The probability is that the story has no foundation whatever, and that, he is now, as he has always appeared to be, a good friend of the President. He knowsthat the Dem ocratic party has about made up its mind to renominate Mr. Cleveland, and that un less something occurs to induce it to change its purpose it will do so. It tnay nominate Gov. Hill for President at some future time, but it will be soon enough to talk about him in connection with the Presidency sev eral years hence. A Revolt Against Law. At a meeting of London sympathizers with the Chicago Anarchists, the other day, the proceedings of which were reported briefly by telegraph, one of the sjieakers de clared that if he had an opportunity he would consider it his “proudest duty to rid the world of such a villain” as Judge Gary. The hate expressed by the speaker was probably entirely impersonal. He called Judge Gary a villain because in him the law was impersonated. He would perhaps not deny that every right given by the law to the men on trial was fully accorded them. The objection is to the existence of law itself. This attitude of mind is what makes the Anarchist dangerous to officers of the law, but at the same time renders him harmless to the country as a whole. It makes him a mere criminal, not a revolutionist The reason of this is that the American people look oij the law as the expression of their own will. They know that if a law is oppressive or unjust the effect of its work ing will finally cause its repeal. With this kuowledge, they can afford to wait. The number of people who sympathize w’ith the aims of the Anarchists in this country is very small —perhaps not more than a few hundred. They are confined almost entirely to the large citias, and are chiefly foreigners, who have brought with them the detestation of law learned in coun tries where the government is not so respon si vo to the will of the people as is ours. Among them, however, are a few Americans, and it would be interesting, were it possible, to find out if each of them has not by some act of his own put himself outside the pale of sympathy and association of his country men. How much did the marriage of Al bert Parsons to a mulatto woman have to do with his adoption of the principles of anarchy? He was born at the South, and no doubt enter tained at one time tho same ideas as to miscegenation that Southern men in general do. When in spite of this he married the woman, it was natural that he should re volt against the society which had cast him out as a moral leper, anif nttempt to break it down. He was no longer an American, lie cause he was no longer in touch with the prevailing sentiment among his own people, and naturally fell in with the morbid minded foreigners among whom he has gained such a had eminence. His is per haps a typical case of the few American Anarchists. Senator Don Cameron has heretofore been known ns a rather reticent man, but he has been talking of political matters lately with a freedom which must worry some of his party associates. His prophecy of Cleve land’s re-election has already been men tioned, and he has since been making some remarks about Senator Edmunds, A re porter having mentioned to him a rumor that a movement would be instituted to re tire the Vermont Senator from the head of the Private Land Claims Committee, he ex pressed himself in sympathy with the move ment in terms so plain that they have been “considerately withheld.” Mr. Cameron is probably disgusted with the many blunders of his party, and wants to take more of a leading position in it than he has hereto fore occupied. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt is perhaps the most distinguished Now York Republican of the younger generation. This fact adds importance and interest to the following sentence taken from an article written by him and recently published: “The world has never seen better soldiers than thoso who followed Lee; and their leader will un doubtedly rank as without any exception the very greatest of all the great chieftains that the English speaking peoples have brought forth—and this, although the last and chief of his antagonists may himself claim to stand as the full equal of Marl borough and Wellington.” The day may yet come when Southern heroes will be national heroes, along with those who fought on the the other side. A French opera manager was in despair at the prospect of having to produce “L’Africaine” with white negroes in the ballet, because the dnneers refused to black their faces for fear it would injure their complexions. He issued an order, however, that all the young and pretty girls must color their faces, because it would do them no harm, while the old and plain ones would be allowed to appear without black faces, because they had more need to take care of their looks. The result was that every blessed one of the girls tried to get on more black than any of the others, and when the ballet was on the stage a half dozen extra calciums had to be used to keep the audience from thinking the lights had all gone out. J udge Gary, who presided at the trial of the Anarchists, has been nominated by the United Labor party for re-election. This action goes far toward showing where the sympathy of Chicago workingmen rests. CURRENT COMMENT. A Growing Idea. From the Providence Journal (Rep.) Let us give offices to men of integrity and not to corrupt politicians of cither party. Moved by a Fellow Feeling. From the Missouri Republican (Dem.’i It is not so very surprising that the New York Herald should support Fred Grant. Mr. James Gordon Bennett is the son of a father himself to a very considerable extent. Aspiring Texans. I 'rorn the Dallas (Tex.) Times (Dem.) The death of Minister Manning has aroused about a dozen men in Texas to a knowledge of the fact that they are ueeuliarly fittisl for the position of Minister to Mexico. Each and every one of them thinks that his strongest indorse ment is his juxtaposition to the Mexican line. It is highly probable that tile President will se lect Manning's successor according to ability, ami not according to the place where they earn their bread. Dr. Tanner Should Have Been Invited. From the Philadelphia Press (Rep.) The correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer who accompanied the President's party declares that people went hungry in Atlauta during the festivities there, and that it was with the great est difficulty that even Mr. Cleveland and his fellow-travelers got enough to eat. The next time Atlanta gets up a starving fete she should invite Dr. Tanner instead of a statesman who carries a three-square-meaia-a day appetite among his baggage.

ERASTUS WIMAN AND MRS. GOULD How the Canadian Balked Mrs. Gar rett’s Slight on Edith Kingd^n. From the \ew York Hun. It is pretty generally understood that Mr. Robert Garrett has never liked Mr. Jay Gould, and the statement that he was not particularly partial to Mr. George Gould would stand of its cwn weight. It is not generally known, how ever, that Robert Garrett's dislike for Gould ryerr and Gould fits has I teen transmitted to Mrs. Robert Garrett, who, with a woman's fine and deadly instiuct, selected the most vulner able spot in the enemy's armor, and mode a stab at lather anti sou through the latter's young and lovely wife. The incident occurred at the Montreal carnival last winter. The Mar quis of Lansdowne, Governor Genera! of Cana da. and Lady Lansdowne were present, and they naturally attracted an attendance that was not only unusually large, but was in great part composed of people who moved in the best so cial circles of Canada. Among the Americans who were present were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Garrett and Mr. and Mrs. George Gould. They were members of the same carnival party, and had traveled together from New York. Mrs. Garrett had been pre sented to Lady Lansdowne, and casually men tioned the fact two or three times. Mrs. George Gould, who had not been presented to Lady Lansdowne, was. naturally enough, desirous to meet the lirst lady of Canada, and candidly said so. There is a rule, generally rigidly enforced, that such public affaire as a carnival, for in stance, no stranger shall he presented to Lady Lansdowne. This rule, however, is occasionally broken, but on rare occasions, and only when the consent of Lady latnsdowne to its infraction has been obtained. Knowing hisjwife’s desire in the matter, George Gould asked Robert Garrett if Mrs. Gur rest would act as a medium. Mrs. Garrett coldly refused. She did not think that Lady 1-ansdowne would care to meet a young woman who had lieeu an actress. This refusal came to the ears of a New Yorker who was on the most friendly terms with Lord Lansdowne, and who was, besides, on intimate terms with Robert, Garrett and George Gould. The matter was put in his hands, or. rather, he took jiossessiuu of it. He told laird Lansdowne that the wife of a New Yorker was anxious to be presented to the Marchioness. The lady had been an actress, and a good one; she .was a lovely woman, and as bright and as good as she was lovely. Could the rule lie broken in her fa vor * Broken! Lord Lansdowne said it could be utterly smashed. His wife would be most happy to meet Mrs. George Gould. He claimed the honor of an introduction to Mrs. Gould, and. having obtained it, presented Mrs. Gould to Lady Lansdowne, who was delighted with the lovely New Yorker, anil was so gracious that Mrs. Gould was afterward the centre of attrac tion. The New Yorker who engineered the affair so deftly is a handyman to know. His name is Erastus Wiman. October. From Harper's Razor.

From the New York Stur— Washington, Oct. 22.—The gates of Arling ton snap shut at sundown. This has been their custom since Secretary Stanton bought the place and converted it luto a national cemetery in 1864. For twenty-three years visitors who make Arlington the object of an evening drive, have listened nervously for the dreadful boom of the sunset gun at Fort Myer, near by. On Wednesday night a v oung navy officer, who is very proud of his fine nlooded mare, took a young lady out for a ride. After making a call on the family of one offthe officers at Fort Myer, they thought they would go down through Arlington to the long bridge. As the tine blooded mare was walking leisurely down the hill in front of Arlington House, the sunset gun boomed. The young officer turned white and lashed his mare, only to find the central gate shut when he reached it a moment later. Whipping across the grass he made for the nortn gate. That, too, was shut. Then he dashed off to the south gate. That, too, was closed, and no one was iu sight. In despair the prisoners went up the hill to the mansion, where they were told that the superintendent had all the'koys, and hod gone over to Georgetown to spend the evening. The keys are never kept inside the cemetery. There was nothing to do but to bat ter down the gates with a sledge ham mer. This the stalwart young Lieutenant tried to do, bnt that also failed. As the fading light reminded him that something must be done, he concluded to leave his horse aud go honm afoot. The mare was unhitched and turned loose to graze among the graves, and the navy man boosted his companion over the high wall that surrounds Arlington, himself leaped over, and they trudged off on the long walk homeward. The next morning the Lieutenant took another walk, caught his mare and drove home, resolv ing never to visit Arlington again as long as the sun sets. The Hair and Beard Growing: After Death. From the Omaha Herald. Sitting in the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury the other day were two gentlemen w aiting for the preparation of some document which the bureau was just about oomph ting. On the wall opposite hung a fine oil portrait of Salmon P. Chase, the first Comptroller, show - ing him as a handsome, florid-faced man, with out beard and with heal partially bald. “That doesn't look much as he did a year ago,” said one of them, noting the handsome portrait. “A year ago; why, he has been dead these ten years or more, hasn't he?’’ “Yes, eighteen of them. Yet I saw him only a year ago with full beard and a full head of hair, very different from the picture you see before us." “What do you mean?" “Simply this. 1 was present when his re mains were taken from Oak View cemetery for transmission to Cincinnati a year ago. Al though seventeen years had elapsed the remains were, still in an almost perfect slate. The fea tures w'ere entirely distinguishable to those who knew him in life. The clothing was in a per fect state of preservation. The principal changes were that the face was dark, and in stead of being smooth, as was his custom in life, it was covered with a full grow th of beard, two inches or so in length, and mixed with gray. The head, which you see was bald in life, was covered with a full suit of hair, partly gray." Long Distance Rides Make Men Fatter. From the Court Journal. A curious fact is brought to light by Capt. Doan-Pitt's valuable record of “Long Distance Rides." It is that the men who were engaged in this severe work seem to gain weight instead of losing it. This is especially noticeable in the case of Lieut. Broadw<xxi's ride from Bangalore to Mysore, and the care and thoroughness with which that officer's report has been drawn up guarantee the figures to be perfectly reliable. Out of the twelve men who made the march only two lost weight by it: two weighed in at the same weight as when they started, and the remaining eight had all gained. Now, it is well known that men iu hard'training often go up in weight, but this is popularly accounted for on the ground that the superfluous tissue they get rid of is replaced by heavier muscle. The Mysore march, however, lasted only two days, in which time no physiological change of the kind could have been set up: and, moreover, the weather dt was the 18th and 14th of March is said to have been very hot. It must be a despairing revelation to any man who is think ing of “Bunting" to find that he may ride 180 miles in two days under an Indian sun and a camp diet aud yet become heavier. The same, however, is the case with the men of the Royal Artillery detachment, which made the march from hmuptec to Jubbulpore, whose weights w’ere also taken. One or two men lost a pouud or two. but the great majority gained, while oue man actually increas'd by a stone and another j by 714 pound*. I ITEMS OF INTEREST. Petroleum has been found in Egypt at a depth of 1.310 feet. At the late Medical Congress in Vienna all the doctors who spoke on the subject were in favor of cremation as a way of disposing of the dead.

The new State capitol of Texas will be com pleted by next June. The State paid for the building in land valued at $3,000,000. The con tractors have already made over $1,000,000 profit on their bargain. Some experiments have been placed on record, says the London Electrician, in which a number of eggs were hutched out in a magnetic field, with the result that the chickens wore all more or less deformed—blind, deaf or lame. Eau Claire, Wis., Is excited over a "marriage in fun,” which took place at an agricultural fair there last week. The ceremony was performed by a justice of the peace, and the seriousness of the affair was not realized until the following day. The American, of Ellsworth, Me., tells a sad story of the life of the waiter girls in the Bar Harbor hotels. It says that the life there is very demoralizing, and that many an innocent coun try girl falls into fast company and is ruined there. An Ohio school teacher, who reprimanded an untruthful pupil by washing her mouth with soap and water, and was sued by the girl’s par ents on the charge of assault and battery, has just been "honorably'' discharged by the court, which ruled that the punishment was not crimi nal in the eyes of the law. Wills to the number of 500, bearing dates 18u2 to 1871, have been fouud among the ar chives of Buda-Pesth by the Hungarian histo rian Salamon. The discovery is naturally cans ing a profound sensation, for it may unsettle property that has passed into thousands of hands, and it must infallably produce a whole crop of fresh lawsuits. The most self-sacrificing editor in Michigan is J. T. Ror'ck, of the Bad Axe Democrat. He re frains from printing the details of a murder trial because it would get people so well posted that it would be impossible to procure a suffi ciently ignorant jury for aforgery case which is to follow, and which will deal with about the same evidence as the murder case. They have just put up an epitaph in one of the London cemeteries which equals in pith and exactitude anything of the olden time. Over the grave of a dentist there run the follow ing lines: “View this gravestone with all gravity, J is filling his last cavity.” Judge Henry Ti-tt. of St. Joseph, 310., a man 84 years old. was once a prominent char acter in Virginia. He was selected by the Gov ernor of that State to command a troop of 200 representative men of the "Old Dominion” to act as a body guard to Gen. Lafayette dur ing t ne time lie staid in Virginia on his memora ble visit to the United States In April, 1825. The present grand jury of Monmouth county, New- Jersey, on the first day of its session passed a resolution to the effect that no cases should he acted upon unless the original couiulainauts appeared in the grand jury room.

A sensational preacher has developed in the upper end of Clark county, Indiana, called “Weeping Joe.” Some nights ago his congre gation dwindled, and then he announced some thing new. The next night a big congregation gathered. When all were in he pulled off his coat, turned a series of handsprings from the pulpit to the door, and then quietly proceeded with his sermon. Edison was recently asked his opinion of the Keely motor, and answered: “I have never seen it, so I have no opinion about it. But all the re sults he is said to have obtained can be got from compressed air. All the air in this room can b ■ condensed into a liquid that could lie carried in a filbert shell, and its explosive force would be tremendous. Skillfully released and recon structed it would move a great machine." Mummies beaten up into a powder and mixed with a little oil made for the artists in Egypt richer tones of brown than any other substance.

James Houston, of Cone Hill, Ark., was awak ened by a noise under bis bed the ’ other night. He lighted a lamp, and, looking under, thought he saw a cat; but when he poked it with a cano a big snake came out and offered battle. He drove it back under the bed, took his wife to a neighbor’s for safety, and went back and killed the serpent pitchfork. It measured 11 feet 9 inches in length, had stripes running di agonally around its body, and had recently swallowed three young kittens. Thomas Jefferson, it appears, has all these years been sailing under false colors. The edi tor of the Salt. Lake Tribune says, and says it boldly, that "old Thomas could not make a speech at all. Give him a pen and a sheet of paper and he could write words that all the world would stop to read; that all the genera tions to come will stop to read. But stand him up before an audience and ask him to talk and he was as dumb as an oyster. Mr. Cleveland can make a better off-hand speech than .Mr. Jeffer son could.” A plan has been set on foot by several tem perance organizations in New Brunswick to boy cott the saloons. The main supporters of the e organizations are women whose husbands are regular patrons of the saloons, and boys will be employed to patrol the sidewalk in front of the Objectionable place with placards denouncing the saloon keepers as peace-breakers. A placard seen yesterday had these words painted upon it: "This is the saloon where the br-n t money of the husband and father goes. It’s the devil’s bank. Don't deposit here. Two daughters of William Riley, of Spring fiel'LO., are in a critical condition from the use of '“nmv flake," a face powder. They lost the use of their fingers and arms, and violent pains in the limbs and stomach followed. The first symptoihs were noticed five years ago, but neither knew what It was. Kate, who was once portly, but who is now a mere skeleton, has spasms eveiy half hour. Doctors says it s doubtful if she ever recovers, and that even if she does she w ill never be healthy again, as white lead from the powder Is in her system. A Genkseo cat was put in a grain bag and carried seven miles beyond Green river, north of town, and emptied into the road in front of a farmhouse. She was immediately set upon by a ferocious dog. The cat rau frantically up a tree and out upon a limb so far that it broke, and she fell into a well thirty feet deep. .Much subdued in spirit, she reappeared on the road in a few minutes just in time to be run over by a wagon, after which she was again spied by the dog. Unwilling to pin her faith in trees again, she struck a bee-line for town, and was at home licking herself on the front porch when the owmer returned. Twenty designs have been submitted for the Lick monument competition at San Francisco, a large majority being by California artists. The trustees expect to have a thorough Ameri can product in the bronze memorial which they arc commissioned to put up opposite the new city hall. One of the designs greatly praised is by Frank Hamiersberger. of San Francisco, who has combined fearlessly a potpourri in which figure an armor-clad amazon representing Cali fornia, a grizzly bear, some eupids, an Indian, Ceres, an emigrant train, a missionary with a shaven head and monk's garb, a wine press a plow and a sprinkling of wild horses. There’ is material enough here for a bronze monument certainly.
