How long will-it take to whitewash,
varnish or paint a ton of hard coal
Will be decided- this iweek. A young
and enthuslaBtio Republican has tin-
,„„en the disk as Jim result of a bet
with nil enthusiastic nembcrftt fiver
the general result of the late eleotton.
The bet is being paid in one of the
Slate street windows. The lostjr be-
gap his task at 10 o’olook yesterday
morning, and is to keep at it each dny
from 10 to 4 o’clock until .every piece
of coni is made to resemble ilnsliiked
lime. It will probably take the whole
week to finish flie ton. At 8 o’clock
yesterday afternoon iess than a bushel
of It had been whitewashed.
Several farmers around Albany
have been fortunate enough to hold
their cotton until now. Some of them
are still holding on to It and wailing
for the staple to go to ten cents, and It
looks now as if it were going that
way.
Albany is right in the swim on pol
ities. The National election Imd
hardly been finished before the miini-
cipal pot began to boil, and after the
election on the first Monday in Decem
ber, county politics will hob up se
renely, nnd keep up a billowy surface
until January. By that time the peo
ple will be ready for their much need
ed two year’s rest from political strife.

There was quite a lively time for a
couple of hours this morning in the
city police court.. Quite a number of
oases were tried nnd disposed of, most
of them being again Negroes.
The oontliotlng evidence sometimes
given by colored witnesses Is funny in
the extreme. 1 Each one has his or her
statements all cut and dried be
fore going on the stand and
a little questioning sometimes
works a wonderful change in the effect
of a batch of testimony given. One
will make some statement and In a few
minutes directly contradict It.

Alttil Fortune Is'Very Fickle.
“Fortune playa soraomml pranks,"
said C. M. Chowen, addressing tho
Mendacity club, assembled on tho
Southern sidewalks. “I was three
times a millionaire and three times a
pauper in one "year. In 18(13 an un
cle- in England left mo a large for
tune. I was living in Charleston, S.
C., nnd engaged in blockade running.
Half a dozen Yankee shells piled my
fortune up at tho bottom of the deep
blue son, and I went tc. Colorado and
engaged In mining. 1 located ono of
the richest silver claims in the terri
tory, but did not know'its value. 1
sold it for a trifle, went to Chicago
and bought property on Wabash ave
nuo. It did not look as though it
would ever ho worth a plato of soup,
and I almost gave it away. A frac
tion of it was sold the other day for
a third of a million. It is said that
fortune raps onco at every man’s
door. It has thundered three times
at mine, but I did not know how to
entertain the coquettish minx. That
is why I am now making night trains
and absorbing railroad sandwiches.”

A Ileal Kook Lover.
A real book lover is like a horse
lover—tho one will tend liis library
as tho other will his stables. I can
tell wlieu a person takes up a hook,if
he loves it or not by the way he
handles it. An open fire is a necessity
in a library; books require good
air like a human being, and gas
ought nover to bo used where valu
able books are kept. Cdndles are
hard on the eyes, though, nnd there
fore should he avoided; oil or elec
tricity are all better than gas, which
acts as readily on bindings as it does
on silver. In lieu of tarnishing, how
ever, it affects their elasticity and
pliable qualities.—Interview in Now
York Times.

Of all the oild election bets recorded
probably the oddest is that made by a
Kensington couple. The ifinn Is a Re
publican and his .wife Is nil ardent
Democrat. .Shortly before the elec
tion they became involved In a dispute
over the relative merits of the two
candidates, which nt one time threat
ened to disrupt the household. This
was renewed nt intervnls, until in des
peration the husband nladethe follow
ing startling proposition, Said he:
“If Cleveland is elected, every night
for n year I will clear off the supper
table, wash the dishes, mid put them
away. On the other hand, if Harrison
Is elected, you must shave me and
shine my slices every morning.’’
l'n this the wife readily agreed, and

evening Struggling with a dish rug
and profanity, while his wife wears an

Old D. is the man who stirred up
the royal household at Windsor—oh,
thirty years ago, most likely., He
was in a company that Had beon in

royalty—to play at tho oastlfi beforo
tho queen. Tho lufll used for theat
rical performances Is a small one,
aud the dressing rooms are do near
tho stage that almost every word
that Is sjiokon In a loud tone can be
heard in front. It wns one of Shake-
spoaro's tragedies or historical plays
that they were to do that night, and
it was a whim of the queen’s that
they should be, dressed in tho old
armor that .belongs to tho castle.
It would give greuter verisimilitude
to the piece. ,
An armorer, who was expert in
putting; on the old' breastplates and
helmets, was sent behind to wait on
the company, and his hammer could
he lieuvd clinking r.ow nnd tlion on a
piece of steel, wlion suddenly old D.’s
voice was heard, distinctly ■ audible
to the people in front, “Where tho
bloody blazes is that blacksmith, to
tighten on these ’ero nuts!" The
queen nearly fell off from her chair.

__nly disappaared. and it was gen
erally believed that iMurphy—or Des
perado Jack, as -he was familiarly
own—was accountable for the dis
appearance. Murphy was a typical
westerner, was born in the wost, had
roved in the west for years, and it'
goes. without saying that he was an
expert at poker nnd o crack shot.
“There webe already eleven notch
es upon the handle of his revolver

fearless and was regarded as the ter
ror of the camp. Notwithstanding
the suspicions that arose concerning
the old colonel's disappearance, there
was no positive evidence that Mur-
ihy was the murderer, and probably
‘ ie right arm of the law would have
proved a little weak anyway In a
case in which Murphy was involved.
"I Was playing poker ono evening.
I had a dead cinch, I thought, on my
opponent, and the chances were in

few minutes,* blit finding nothing
else to interest him he swaggered
over to our table, and wntched the

win he remarked insolently to my
companion, 'Don’t let that tender
foot get the best of you. Put down
that ten.'
“I fired up in a second and was
ready to knock him down.,
“‘Stiddy, now, Billy; stiddy,’he
said to me jeeringly.
“Of course I lost my temper, called
him a murderer and accused him of
killing Brown, and added that every
body knew it. Eying me coolly, he
drew out a silver mounted derringer,

Ciii-hmltiei nf Crave [lobbing.
Under the laws of Draco, which
you will remember as being tho mi
severe code ever drawn up, all grave
robbers were put to death without
trial. The old Athenian laws put a
slave to death for disturbing a body
after interment; but in the case of a
freeman a “confiscation of a moiety
of his possessions" was the penalty.
Constantine decreed that a woman
might obtain a divorce if she could
prove that her husband had dis
turbed the remains of the dead. At
one time (in the time of the seventh
and eighth Henrys) the English law
held that “it iB deemed unlawful to
open a grave for a hecond person, ex
cept for a husband or wife."
If I have not been misinformed,
grave robbers in this country only
lay themselve liable to a fine and im
prisonment for a short time, unless it
can be proved that they took the
grave clothes along with the body.
For this reason ghouls (real profes
sionals! ahvays strip tho 'remains
stark-naked beforo depositing them
in tiie “long sack" preparatory to
their removal to some medical col
lege.—St. Louis Republic.'

There are only two kinds Of
hats—the good atid the bad. Per
haps it will be on the, tip of your
tongue to say that there "is a third
variety, the “indifferent.” Not at
all.
The "indifferent” hat is a bad
lmt, and only the indifferent man
will wear it.
With nothing short of a good
hat will any
be satisfied. All the properties of
life demand it ; nothing but eccen
tricity will tolerate anything else.
We sell no hats that are not
really good, and the figures that
we quote are so law that you need
not think twice about buying one.
For instance, we are offering the
latest shape tourist "crush hat” at
#1.50,'$2.5o-and $3.00.
We are acknowledged leaders in
our special lines. When you want
to dress correqtly call aud see us.
