SUDDEN DARKNESS IN A CITY.
Consternation of People Who Thought the
end of the World at Hand.
A special diapatch from Louisville, Ky.
says: Many citizens of Louisville who are
superstitious, and indeed a number who are
not, thought the world was about to come to
an end this morning. Rain had been fall
ing steadily up to about 9 o’clock, when it
suddenly ceased, and there came a rattling
fusilade of thunder, streaks of vivid light
ning darleJ from the clouds; the light cf
day began to fade out, and in one minute
after the first dap of thunder an almost
Egyptian darkness had settled upon the
city. Houses a few feet away look d bke
mountains in a fog, aud trees became spec
* The duration of the darkness was about
4 minutes. During that t'me chickens went
to roost all over the city. Many of the
scenes and incidents about town were amus
ing. At the corner of Fourth avenue and
Green streets a Catholic priest fell upon his
knees in a street car and crossed himself,
and in a negro quarter known as “Braun
town,” some of the inhabitants instituted a
session of prayers. Many citizens thought
the sudden darkness was the forerunner ot a
■cyclone, and took to their cellars for safety.
A fashionable young lady who was at the
breakfast tab'e imagined that she had be
come suddenly blind aud was thrown into
hysterics.
Scientists claim that the darkness was
caused bv a heavy black cloud which
-stretched from the eastern and southern
horizm to about ten degrees from the west
ern and northern horiz n, so black and
dense as to shut off the direct rays of the
sun, and obstruct all reflected light. _ Thun
der and lightning, with wind aud rain, fol
lowed the break in the clouds.
He Couldn.t Think What He Was Going to
Say.
Literary Life.
“Pa,” asked little Hyson of his melan
choly parent; “pa, why don’t children get
married?'’
“Because, my son,” replied old Hyson, ‘ the
law, the State, recognizing their helpless
ness, their in ability to take care of them
selves, their irmoceut ignorance of the wiles
and snares laid for their feet by designing
wo—persons, throws about their helplessness
the strong arm of its protection and keeps
them from the clutches of—”
“Keeps ’em from what?” a strident voice
remarked from the immediate vicinity of
the kitchen door, as a tall, womanly figure
appeared, wiping the dough trom a pair
of gaunt arms, with sharp elbows, “keeps
’em from what?”
And old Hyson just sat there, swallowed
and breathed hard, and thought and thought
and for the life ot him he couldn’t think
wi.at it was he was going to say, or rather
what it was he wanted to substitute for what
he was going to say.
The Way They “Exclude” in M xico.
Wall Street News.
Senor Romero Martinez, ot Mexico City,
was recently found dead on the street, hav
ing been removed from this vain world by
the knife of an assassin. It is announced by
a Mexicm paper that he was a bear op
Mexican Central stock. It may be imagined
that something like the following incident
preceded thg murder:
Bud President, of the M. C, to Chief
Clerk: “Ha, ha! that scoundrelly Romero
Martinez is out in a communication in
which he says our stock is a fraud at 54, and
that we are not earning expenses.”
“Let him be slain-”
“You bet! Go out and find a $2 assassin
If they are permitted to tell the truth about
us, we might as well crawl out and go into
the corner-grocery business.”
He Was Betting Money Such Modesty Beat
Boston.
“I've heerd,” remarked a Dakota man,
“that 80-ton gir’s is modes*, but we have
wimin out here, stranger, thet kin give’em
points.”
“Is that so ?”
‘'Yes, sir. Thare’s a gal in Bismarck, for
instance, who is so thunderin’ modest thet
when she sets down she allers fiqes her dress
so thet even the legs of the chair can’t be
seen. I’m bettin money tbet beats Boston.”

Silks at seventy-five cents a yard. Other houses would name them as bargains at a dollar a
yard. Black Grosgrain at seventy-five cents a yard, the former price of which was a dollar
and a quarter. Evening shades in all colors at ridiculously low prices. Velvets in all the
fashionable shades at prices that would actually seem absurd. Look ! seeing is believing:
