Lodging to going to be in demand in
Albany next week. The regular hotels
and boarding houses will not be able to

this, but it is trne, nevertheless.
On Monday next there will be not
less than two hundred show people,
venders and street stand operators here
who will want lodgings for the week.
These will abont fill np the regular
boarding honses. A little later in tbe

SpiRed His Guns.
A North Memphto gentleman has
been trying lately to indnoe his wife to
adopt the habit of drinking a glass of
wine at frequent intervals during the
day, says the Memphis Scimitar. She
is inclined to be delioato in health,
thongh not a decided invalid, and her
well-meaning hnsband fancied the
spirits wonld strengthen her.
She opposed with all a woman's ohati-
nateness his suggestion. Perhaps she
recalled when her lord and master had
oome home reeling like a ship whose
cargo has shifted.
The other day he spoke to her after
this manner:
“Yon are nnreasonable, my dear, not
to drink wine.”
Her reply came sharp and pointed:
“Perhaps; bnt I've notioed that yon
are unreasonable when yon drink it.”
A great many of onr people are jnst
now beginning to wake up to the foot
that Albany is going to have a big show
in her Hay Day Carnival and Street
Fair. There are going to be lots of peo
ple and lots of entertainment in the city
on the three days of the carnival. It’s
now time for everybody to wake np and
get ready to have a good time, for the
opportunity to about to present itself.
INTRIGUE AND LIE,

• LEAGUES CAN DO.
Sack to Ike Opinion of Cklnn’e Minister to
Franc—What tko Solotlon ol Iko Proto
lem Mnol Be—Empress Dowager Mast
Bn Dethroned.
Paris, Nov. 15.—The Matin prints an
interview with Yn Kong, the Chinese
minister to Franoe. who ia qnoted as
saying that the preeent statements from
Pekin abont the peaoe negotiations are
nothing bat words. The minister says
that Li Hung Chang and colleagues oan
do nothing but intrigue and lie in an at
tempt to save their heads. If they sign
the treaty it will be a mere formality
and will not afford a solution of the
trouble.
Yu Keng neolares that it will be im
possible to suppress the Boxers and pro
hibit the importation of arms, and as to
the punishment exacted, he deolares
that the princes will never be pot to
death exoept by telegraph. The only
remedy, he says, is to remove the Em
press Dowager and restore the Emperor,
who is a friend of foreigners and who
was dethroned for attempting to effeot
reforms.
HAS KILLED AND MAIMED NINE.
Wallace, the Fearful Men-Bellug Lion ol tbs
Bonlock Shown.
Few porsonn who gaze at Wallace,
the great shaggy, blaok-maned Afrioan
lion ol the Boatook animal show, whtoh
in to he in Albany next week, would
snspeot ho was a man-eater nnless told
of hie ferooity and bloodthirstineaa.
It to only whon the daring man tries to
enter his cage that he shows his real
oliaraater and tbe sleepy, lazy looking
muuster beoomos all animation and
activity as he springs to the cage
door and fights book the intrepid mortal
who seeks to intrude upon his majesty’s
domain.
Wallace has a reoord of nine trainers
killed and maimed. His last viotim was
that famous English trainer, Captain
Grant, in Ohioago two years ago. In
the presence of a vast audience, Grant
entered the cage. He had been warned
not to do so, os Wallaoo was in a partic
ularly surly mood, but ho laughed at
the fears of the attendants, and, armrd
with a heavy whip, sprang throngh the
iron-barred door. - Wallaoo stood like a
statae in the far oorner of the oage for
tali a minute, his eyes flashing fire.
The daring trainer advanood towards
him with uplifted whip. A tawny body
shot through the air as a ory of horror
arose from the audienoe. A mighty
paw struck down the holploss trainer,
and ere a single ory escaped bis Ups tho
infuriated lion was tearing at his throat
and the cage floor was streaming with
blood.
Au army of attendants ran to tho
oage with pistols, iron bars and whips,
and finally drove off the savage brats,
but it was too late. A mangled, muti
lated corpse was taken from the oage as
Wallaoo Uoked his blood stained Ups
and growled in grim satisfaction at hav
ing added another viotim to his UBt.
