TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The management of The Post is
making an earnest effort for the
prompt delivery of the paper to every j
subscriber. Anyone who fails to get
his paper, will confer a favor by re
porting ’be fact to the business oilice,;
114 Richmond street.
TO ADVERTISERS.
All contract advertisers will please
arrange to have the copy for any
changes or for new advertisements,
sent to the business oilice of The
Post the day before the change is
to be made. The management wi!'.
esteem it a special favor if this re
quest is complied with.
The man who says he is going to
get there, and don’t you forget it,
makes more noise about it than the
man who is actually there.
Here’s good advice for those who
talk too much: “Thump your bead
and if it thumps like a ripe water
melon, keep your mouth shut.”

Representatives from the after
noon papers of the South will hold a
meeting in Birmingham next Monday
will be a large attendance at
this meeting, and steps will be taken
that will help increase the usefulness
k of the afternoon paper. Within the
B last few years the afternoon paper
r has increased [greatly in popularity
and it will continue to grow as the
people are shown its superior merits.
It is reported now that General
John B. Carson, of Illinois, has been
requested to serve as General Sup
erintendent of the world’s fair. At
one time there was some talk of
Chauncey Depew for the position,but
he having been caught in the Webb
of the Central strike will most likely
buzz no more. General Carson is
now president of a prosperous rail
road and has fully proven his ad
ministrative ability.
The meetings being held in St.
Louis by Mrs. Maria B. Woodworth
an evangelist so called, are most
ridiculous and sensational in char
acter. They should be stopped by
the authorities and Mrs. Woodworth
put into an i'isane asylum. Two
learned* doctors have, after exami
nation, pronounced the woman in
sane. and further assert that she
possesses great hypnotic power, and
is doing a great deal of harm. She
claims to have conversed with God,
Christ and the devil.
“Kicking,” as it is called, is per
haps the most unprofitable business
that a’person can engage in. It is a
failure everywhere and often worse
than a failure. If you “kick” at the
hotel you get the worse dishes a
spiteful waiter can find for you.
The “kicker” gets an upjier berth
and a family of sick young ones
under him. Every |>erson he comes '
in contact with retaliates and makes
it rocky. It is a question whether
kicking ever does any good in any
case. The world will not stand it
It is a declaration of war in which
the enemy has nothing to lose. The
“kicker” is a fool. He can get more I
that is good and much less that is
“■ bad by swallowing his tem|>er and
remaining u docile demagogue.—Dal i

“Wurm?” he said, putting on a heavy
pair of gloves and buttoning his light
overcoat, “you don't call this warm
■weather, do you?”
“Do I call it warm?” said the other,
mopping his brow and trying to fan
himself at the same time, while his face
grew redder and redder. “I call it
gridiron heat.”
“Pooh, pooh, my dear fellow; the
mercury isn't above ninety-two.”

“And it hasn’t been above a hun
dred more than once this year.”
“Shades of all the Icelanders!" cried
the rod, fat man, “what would you

Would you like to boil eggs in the pub

hundred! Do you want to sizzle and

screamed in slirill, agonized tones, and
he danced around madly in his wrath
until his face was of flaming scarlet.
“One hundred! Why, man, haven’t
you got any blood in your veins?”
“Oil, yes,” said the other, shivering
as a warm breeze touched him, “but 1
have -10, (XX) tons of ice cornered.”
And then the little stout man fell
in a swoon, and an ambulance carried
him to the hospital, where he was re
corded as suffering from prostration by
heat, while the ice king went home to
order the servants to put more coal on
the tire. —New York Tribune.
Trlrgraphing in Africa.
That the conduct of a cable station
is not always monotonous is shown by
a letter recently received from an of
ficer of the West African Tehgraph
company. This gentleman is hi charge
of the Kotonou station, in the territory
of the notorious King of Dahomey. •
The king, it seems, had for some time
been spoiling for a tight, and had at
last become so ugly and aggressive that
it w. s '.earned advisable to arm the
station, and have some soldiers handy.
"Early one morning the station was
surrounded by the natives,” the super
intendent writes, "and we were tinder
the [taitiful necessity of sending a few
of them across the Styx. The station
was for a time in imminent danger;
Orsini and 1 fired more tluui 250 rounds
each, and the thirty-five Senegalese
sharpshooters who helped in the de
fense fired some 120 rounds apiece. An
artillery sergeant who worked our two
i guns was killed, and the white gunners
were so hard pressed that they had to
club their rifiee. This racket began nt
, 4 in tlie morning.
’At 'J a in we left tile soldiers still
tiring and went to the iiutruments, and
you may imagine wlmt a dance the

THE EVENING POST: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, IS9Q
»itwitllng the bean.
1 was Talking recently with an En
glish clergyman of the Episcopal church
who gained his B A. nt Oxford nearly
half a century ago. The conversation
turned to Harvard college an I the dec
oration of its founders statue The
reverend gentleman said that his rec
ollections of his Oxford days contained
plenty of episodes of a like nature and
he accordingly related several. Upon
the great quadrangle of the Christ ,
Church college a number of the halls ,
front and upward of fifty doors open.
One fine morning every one of these
doors, which were of oak, was painted
a bright crimson. Os course there was
great agitation, but the identity of the
artist was never disclosed. The dean,
in order to prevent a recurrence of the ,
deed, stationed a watchman in the |
quadrangle, and so well did that func- |
tionary perform bis duties that the!
doors were not touched. But the stu
dents resolved to cireufhvent the dean
ami outwit the sentinel.
One evening a big undergraduate,
who had possessed himself of a flowing
gown and wig, personating the dean,
entered the “quad mag,” as the court
is affectionately termed, and approach
ed the watchman. “Ahum! ahum!”
he Izegan in a deep pitched voice, "1
am glad, my man, to find you attend
ing to your duty so well. Now you go
to my kitchen and my cook will give
you a good supper and plenty of ale. I
will keep watch while you are gone.”
Flattered and pleased the man accepted
the invitation and went. He was gone
fifteen minutes. In the meantime each
one of the fifty doors was painted a
sunset red.—Boston Advertiser.
A Horse That Im Fond of Apples.
Down in Congress square there stands
an old gray tow horse of an observing
mind and engaging manners who likes
to make acquaintance with passers by.
It has been the habit of a gentleman
who comes in town every morning to
buy an apple at a fruit stand and treat
the old fellow, w hose somewhat monot
onous life appeals to him. The old
tow horse has grown to expect his ap
ple, and he now watches regularly for
his friend. Upon the few occasions
when the apple has been forgotten or
| intentionally omitted the horse has fol i
i lowed the man, or has stepped up t< i
| the sidewalk in front of him and stop |
I ped his passage as if to say, "You can |
not pass until you’ve paid your toll,”
One afternoon not long since a man
who has a strong resemblance ■to the
tow horse’s friend was pissing through
Congress street, when to his astonish
ment he felt himself grabbed by the
coat sleeve. Turning around bls sur
prise wits still greater uihen la> found tt
was a hoise who held him prisoner.
The towlxiy who has charge of the
horse came to the rescue, ami cleared
matters up by explaining that the two
mon looked so much alike that he as
well as the horse was deceived.- Bos
ton Herald.
“Man Trapn and Spring Gunn Set Here.”
Man traps were made in South Staf
fordshire, chiefly at West Bromwich,
ten years ago, and are probably still to
be bought. The pattern books of sev
eral maim fact Urol's had and probably
still have an cs-tavo page engraving,
showing a i»oacher gripped by the leg
ami dropping the hares he had picked
up. These mislern man traps were,
however, “human man traps,” with
plain bar jaws, ami not the saw tooth
grips, which would mangle a limb and
probably break the leg bone. Similter
tiger traps are also made in the Black
Country, and are formidable and
crushing devices. Spring gims are made
in Birmingham, but these are only
alarm guns, to make a loud report and
frighten a poacher or bird stealer by
noise, without slid; but the older
forms swung the small cannon around
and fired a Volley ci shot in the direc
tion of the wire trodden upon.—Notes
and Queries.
Tin I’m ? tin’s Bible.
Rev. E. H. Lawrence, of Wisconsin,
was presented with a Bible many years
ago which he carried through the war.
He always carried it in his coat pocket.
At the battle of Kennesaw Mountain a
bullet struck Rev. Mr. Lawrence on
his left side, penetrating his coat and
shirt, then into his Bible, stopping at
Isaiah lii., 7. Strange to say the Bible
saved his life, and he preserved the
lxx>k xvith the bullet in it until his
death. The first sermon he ever
preached he took the verse at which l
the bullet stopped for his text, and
preached the sermon at Antioch church,
Morgan county.—Chicago Herald.
A
Lady Physician—l think the shade
of his complexion is more Irarmonious
today, and the tint of his tongue more
delicate. Just cut this plaster on the
bias and arrange it artistically on his
forehead. Intermix this powder with
water, and let him introduce it into his
interior at intervals of one hour each.
