It’s made of the miracle, staggered air-space, block—“the block that builds buildings that stand.” Albany Pressed Stone Co. m m AT A LATE HOUR ON STATE STREET Milly Foster Called on Cora Wood.

Repair Work. c Ihe, Bacon Equipment Co. Shops—Foot of Third street. Offices—304-305 Davis-Exchange Bank Building. Last night in the late hours, al though It was only a quarter of an hour while it lasted, MlUy Foster and Cora Wood, two colored damsels who live, and move, and have their being on State street, settled a little diffi culty, not by telephone, telegraph or letter, but personally: The trouble began In this wise: One of Cora's gentleman callers, Frank Nelson, had reflected on Wily's veracity—not once, nor twice, but many times. Now Cora encouraged him In it, and aided him. too. News of the reflections finally reached MUly’s ears, and with sorrow In her heart and a knife In her hand, she hot footed It to her friend’s house. She knocked at the door. "Who Ib that?” from Cora. “It’s me, Milly Foster. I wants to borrow a cup of sugar" (It would seem that Nelson was right about her truth-telling qualities.) The ruse to get In was too thin to succeed, and Nolson, who was In the room, remembering the dread past, suddenly took a liking for the floor— that portion of It under the bed. Milly came on In and rushed up to embrace her friend. But Cora had grabbed a frying pan, and proceeded to gently tup her opponent on the head. The knife was slashing, all right, and' screams and yells awoke the solitude of the night. At last MlUy dropped her knife, ami her future looked dark Indeed, for Cora certainly hndn't dropped her frying pun. But Milly was resourceful. It nothing else, and a hatpin was brought into requisition. At this Interesting stage of the pro ceedings Nelson reached out an arm from his place of concealment and caught Mllly's ankle. A sudden jerk and the couple struck the floor, still mauling and hat-pinning. Just where It might have ended can’t be said, neighbors whose peaceful slumbers had been disturbed, now coming In and taking charge of affairs. Milly. In a very lachrymose and swell headed condition, was escorted home and locked in for the rest of the night by her zealous friends. Cora. In a state that can be only diagnosed as profanttls, and minus a few clothes, a trifling circumstance due to Mllly’s knife play, explained the affair to her visitors and bade them depart, still clutching the pan handle. And depart they did, Including Nelson, who now believes that he ought to take an opt! tnlstlc view of anyone’s veracity.
