THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1893. BUlne'i X>mjr of Fate. , It ii ft curious fact that many of Mr. Blaine's friends and many of the news paper men here who have watched his career held firmly to the belief that he -would die on a Sunday. Sunday was his day of fate. He was born on that day, and it constantly recurs in connec tion with the chief events of his life. It was on Sunday that he regained posses sion of the noted Mulligan letters, with which that person was seeking to blast his career and drive him from public life. It was on the Sunday previous to the assembling of the Republican con vention at Cincinnati in 1876 that he suf fered the sunstroke which played no in- k considerable part in breaking down the Blaine forces and nominating Hayes. It was on a Sunday that he prepared his celebrated Florence letter declining to be a candidate in 1888, and it was on the same day that he sent a peremptory cablegram to the same effect to Repre sentative Boutelle at Chicago. It was on Sunday that his letter to Chairman Clarkson last February was given out in which he said his name would not go be fore the coming convention. His state ments of the American side of the Behr ing sea controversy and the New Orleans affair with Italy were given out on Sun day. His resignation of the portfolio of state was twice determined on Sunday, the first to President Arthur and the second to President Harrison, although the latter was not sent to the president until Monday morning. That his last illness was hopeless became known to the public Sunday, Dec. 18, and it was on Sunday, three weeks later, that his phj-sicians finally admitted the hopeless ness of liia case.—Washington Cor. Chi cago Inter Ocean. The Woman Won. An exciting race took place Monday afternoon in Walla Walla between Mrs. Mary E. Miller of Kennewick, Yakima county, and Frank Foster of the same place. They both came in on the even ing train over the O. and W. T., and neither waited for tho car to stop but Jumped off and made frantic runs for backs. The woman offered to buy the hackman's team if he would get her to her destination in time, and the man slipped a $5 piece into the driver’s hand in order to facilitate matters, and in less time than I take to tell it both hacks were speeding up tho street at a break neck gait What was the cause of all this? Why, it was a race between them to see who could get to the United States land offices first to file on a piece of land near Kennewick. Tho man arrived there first, but made a mistake and got into the wrong office, and in the meantimo the woman had arrived and slipped in ahead of him. The woman also had her wit-* nesses with her, while tho man was un prepared in this important particular, consequently she “got there with both feet”—W asliington Statesman. Cheap Pottage. Perhaps the greatest postal advance of recent times is that which England has just decided to adopt—penny postage for its vast empire. The British postof fice department, after much urging, has finally accepted this proposition, which has been pressed for years by that inde fatigable reformer, Mr. Henneker Hea ton, and as soon as the necessary ar rangements can be made the uniform imperial postage of a penny—2 cents— will be established, and for that amount a letter can be carried from England not only to Canada and the West Indies, bnt to India, Australia and even the center of Africa. This is the cheapest postage ever proposed. The United States has been making many improvements of late in postal matters, but it has never been able to catch np with England, whose lead in this matter we must acknowledge, and it is a striking tribute to the succees of the English system that, superior as it is to ours, it yet nets a profit of $15,000,000 a year to tho government, whereas we usually have a deficit in our postoffice accounts. The truth seems to be that the better tho postal service the greater the profit. The United States, under these circumstances, can well afford to make radical improvements, certain that it will be repaid for them in a short time. It will strike every one at once that if England can maintain a penny postage for its vast empire, scattered as it is through all the four quarters of the globe, it ought to be easily possible to secure a reduction in tho rates now charged for foreign postage.—New Orleans Times- Democrat. A Dude and Ills Overcoat. A story is out on a certain young man whose pxxrso is not the most plethoric, and yet ho aims to dress as well as the richer young men with whom ho associ ates. Early in the winter, when it ap peared that there would not be any cold weather, and he found himself in some what straightened circumstances, he pawned his overcoat. At the expiration of the pledge, the weather still being mild, he neglected to renew it. The coat not being called for, the pawnbroker sold it to a colored man. Two or three days after, tho dude wanted the coat. He was very ranch discomfited on learn ing that it had been sold. He ascer tained tho address of tho colored man to whom it had been sold. Ho found the fellow, paid him the amount that he had paid the pawnbroker and took his coat. The fun of it is that the colored man is a retainer in a suburban family with whom the young man associates. The young man doesn’t know anything about this, but the family—through the col ored man, who gave tho thing away— know all about the overcoat.—Cincin nati Enquirer. WARE SUPERIOR COURT. Grand Joro W.

DEALERS IN Natural Go* Raises a New Law Question. A resolution was introduced in the city council tonight to begin a suit for dam ages, involving several hundred thousand “dollars, against the Northwestern Ohio Natural Gas company, which lias its wells in this county adjoining those of the city, and which supplies the city of Toledo with gas. The resolution is the result of a long study of the legal aspect of the case by Mr. Alexander, who intro duced it, and upon his recommendation it was referred to the city solicitor, who, it is understood, is in favor of vigorous ly prosecuting tbo suit. As the rock pressure has gradually decreased, the Northwestern company has introduced three immense pumps at a station six xnilee from the city, at a cost of $50,000, in order to force the gas through the 40 miles of pipe and suck it from the ground. This has greatly injured the city’s territory, and the claim will be made that the use of artificial means to get the gas from under the contiguous territory of the city is illegal The ques tion has never been raised in the courts. —Findlay Cor. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Another Airship Invented. Another airship has been projected by M. Grensfelder, who has just received his patent papers from Washington. The ship is a cigar shaped affair, 100 feet long and 30 feet in diameter. It will hold 85,000 cubic feet of gas and carry 3,800 pounds. The feature of the inven tion is that it can he steered. There are several mechanical innovations for which great results are promised. The inven tion varies from most airships in that it can float in tho water. The framework will be of steel or aluminium, the ribs being covered by a light airtight cover, which will receive several coats of var nish. The gas will be stored in a cham ber at each end, and there will be space left for a cabin in tho middle. In this cabin the electric motor, anchor and all the other mechanism will find a lodg ment A strong partition will separate the machine and passenger quarters.— St Louis Letter. A Great Season For Maple Sugar. “Unless I am greatly mistaken,” said Loren Cushman yesterday, “the coming spring will be a great season for maple sugar making. It is well known to those who have engaged in that business that a good season always follows a winter that furnishes-abundance of cold weath er. The maple sap is always sweeter after a period of intense frost and' fur nishes a larger percentage of sugar. Not only that, but the trees yield a larger quantity of sap after a cold winter than they do after a winter that has frequent thaws and periods of warm weather. The snow in onr county is very deep, and unless remarkably warm weather should come it will be on the ground until well along in April. There is such an immense body of it that sugar mak ing will not commence until late in the season, but when we get at it we shall make more of the toothsome sweet than we have made before in years.”—Nor wich Son. An Ic« Floe Flashing Light. A remarkable phenomenon was wit nessed on the Thames during the even ing of Friday. A number of pedestrians on Vauxhall bridge were startled by noticing that one of the large masses of ice which were floating with the tide was emitting flashes of light at intervals of about six seconds. Not only was this curious and unusual sight seen from Vauxhall bridge, but one gentleman who had noticed it at Chelsea bridge followed it along the Thames embankment for some distance. The area of the mass was several square yards, and this was the only one out of the many hundreds which were passing the bridge at the time that pre sented any unusual appearance. Con jectures were numerous at the time as to the cause of the flashes, hut no satisfac tory explanation was arrived at.—Pall Mail Gazette. General Batter'* Famous Yacht. There is considerable speculation in yachting circles, now that General But- Itr is dead, as to into whose hands the old America will fall Mr. Paul Butler told me that he bad not the slightest idea as to whether he should retain it or not. Current opinion in Lowell has de cided that he will not. His pet hobby is canoeing, and it is doubtful if he will change at this day. The general's last cruise, by the way, he told me, was taken with the New York Yacht dub, when he sailed up with them from New port, the America giving many of the new yachts a tussle. After that he took a number of short trips up along the north shore, but this was his last cruise. —Boston Record. TlMlStllllttOM.

I hear a storv. bnt cannot verify it, to the effect that, in clearing out her old house preparatory to moving to the new one, Mrs. Stevenson actually found tho missing gold soup plate that has prevent ed her from asking more than 11 people to her state dinners. It was found, so ’tis said, stuffed way down into the back of one of the great sofas that adorned the middle drawing or music room. It is surmised that one of the indigent for eigners whom she so willingly entertains of a Sunday night managed to slip it into his lap at dinner, then into the back of his waistcoat and eventually down the back of the sofa, whence he hoped to ex tract it before going home. Foiled in this, he left the valuable piece of plate in its hiding place to become the source of in sffahle annoyance to its hostess WOOD'S PROS PHODINE.
