IT IS LIKISLV that Buch stipulations

as were found in the water leases of the

Issex company originally, and for aught

we know still Nffifaln there, that the

nmouQt of i ho rental Bhould be payable

in Bold, will IIml their way into new

documents deilning financial oliliga-

tioDB; it is aiatod that in New York

some lenders of money upon morlgnge

arc so nlarmed by the persistent free

silver agitation, that they are already

making the interest payable in gold.

THE QUESTION of providing more

suitable tenement*■- -for -tUs- ,uoorer

classes Is just now receiving csreful at-

tention in Boston; especially as the in-

crease ofi business is BO rapidly pressing

upon districts heretofore occupied bv

the Cheaper class of tenements is this a

needed subject for. cnniiidoratioii in the

interest of public morals and general

progress, and it is to be hoped that the

philanthropists of tbe hub may succeed,

but they hayua task of great magnitude

demanding long and persevering effort.

THE I'Kin.MOW of presenting the

long service medals to the militia is to

be made quite impressive and will at-

tract general attention; tho details of

rifying the lists'reouire so much lime

that it is not uullkely that the date may

be made somewhat later than the mid-

dle of February as Hrst proposed; in

addition to the presence in full dress of

the two hundred and lil'ty officers and

men entitled to the medals, a contin-

gent of tlin first regim.mt and of the na-

val battalion will be on duty, tho colors

of all of the organizations, aud other

aceessorie,s to a brilliant scene.

ONE of the plans proposed by those

who are discussing tho question or

roviding for lliu unemployed Is (hat

the state enter into a vast' schctnu of

improvement of the highways, the cost

to be assessed upon tho estates there-

by enhanced in v.t!u:; by this scheme

it is rlaiihed that work could be pro*

rided for-the entire army of the idUt;

hat the improvement would pay for

itself beside the■■ increased desirability

if all property. Thji is a pretty idea, but will •.(•in.- .in., ti-il ua wli.it mlv«ti-

llage it axnuld be in the1 rural districts

lo the ordinary farm lauds to widen,

vel aud straighten the country road*?

THE UNEASY eondittonof the demo-

crats of Massachusetts iu relation tu ' he

present leaders, crops out constantly,

and au open outbreak is imminent; the

leader-shin of Mr. Charles of- Boston,

.i comparatively new captain, is resent-

id by the older members, and in a cau-

:us i Ins week, such a veteran as repre-

scutative Moriarly of Worcester, open-

ly asserted his independence, aud bis

imrpose to vote upon all matters accord-

rig to his own. convictions, no mallet

what the self-appointed leaders may de-

crmine or the caucus dictate. The

auk and'filu. Who furnish the votes,

have been ■ very patient, but an open

revolt is near at hand.

THE savings bank commissioners re-

port that while they ban been able to

prohibit the transactions of business in

bit commonwealth by various corpora-

tions of questionable character, others

are hero of whose solvency they have

grave doubl, but'to prevent the opera-

i of,wbich they find no law. It

would seem tkat Massachusetts ought

xpresely to forbid the carrying on of

any class of business bv a foreign cor-

poration not provided for By her own

statutes. If i) business ia legitimate

there should lie a law to permit the peo-

ple of Massachusetts to enga^-i' in it; if

undeserving the endorserneiit of our

legislature, people from other states

ought not to be permitted toimpose.it

upon Massachusetts citizen*.

JUST NOW, as the aJEairi of the fro.

tia Ihe fact thBtof late the membership'

of i he order has greatly decreased. This

is attributed to several causes, prominent

among which LB tbe formation of tbe eo-

Ii-faction has been arunsed by the levying

uf a large number of assessments during

garding the latur matp'r are as follows:

The li ul Conclave pays a sick bat null

a dealh lam fit. Of course It coete the

[Copyright, 180!, by Edgar L. Wakemaa.]

TANOIEH, Jan, 11.—At Tavlra we had no Alfflcultytn securing passage In a stanch coasting steamer plying between Lisbon and Cadis. After a day In the latter, once the emporium of tbe world and still the meet winsome anil beautiful city of Spain, we sailed on a smaller vessel, little better than a ferryboat, for the African coast, touching for an hour at Turifa, tbe south- ernmost city of Continental Europe, but fifteen miles southwest of Gibraltar.

In an hour'a time you have oorue abreast of Cape Trafalgar. Yoor suuttner'a course Is through tbe very waters where Nelson won his Immortal victory over the combined fleets of Qravlnn and Vllleneuve. All the mighty painting* you have seen, all tbe majestic monuments to Nelson underneath whose ahailows you have stood, all the thrilling prose and verse you have read upon this inspiring theme, fill and thrill your .mind and heart, until tbe air is dimmed with smoke, tho hoarse bellowing* of cannon deafen you, the sheets of Dame from those two aulld columns of warships blind you, tbe ahrieka of wounded and dying and the crashing of uuuts add to the conjured horror—all for an Instant, maybe; but no poet or palnber has ever brought Its glory and savagery to your comprehension ao matchlessly as your own brief presence there.

And now Tarifa Is reached—Tatifa, celebrated of all cities of the 1-atin race for the fatal beauty of its women; Tarifa, where the besieging Moors put to death the BOD

of lion Alfonso before bla eyes In an attempt-to effect the city's surrender; where mighty battles between the kings of Cas- tile and spam ■galnat tbe Moors were fought beneath is- u.-ills, where once 4,000 Romau sous came and took Lo themselves their pick of Spuui.-h women; where the Berbers flrat met the dispirited armies of Roderick, last of the (Mils-Tarifa, with its scores of lowers and gates, labyrinthine streets, balconies bidden behind masae* of flowers, and its half Spanish, half Moorish scenes and life which laan! and tempt rav- lahlngly to dallying and delay.

From this point, as your course Uaet to tho aoat li west for Tangier almost straight across tbe Strait of Gibraltar, the scene, on every baud is one of matchless beauty and grandeur. Back to the northwest stretches the Spanish count line to Trafalgar, low lying along the sea, but witli a ^background of anilii luting foothills, breaking Into deep gorges and capped by lofty sierras, the whole checkered by vineyards and dotted with cities aud hamlets, in the distance aa whitens flakes of snow. Hack acrusathe wattirs to tho northeast looms gray old Gibraltar, a line of bailing villages, ar- senals, quays and moles at Its base like a slender ribbon of foam, it - thousands of threatening cannon above, hidden and aum- iii i ted by terraoea bright and vinos and gardens fair.

Ho ft ire yon Is Africa, warm and glowing beneath a midwinter auu. Away to the southeast Is the shadowy peak of Ape'a hill, at whose base Cetita lies. A grand and diversified const stretches westward, past aa yet Invisible Tangier, to Cape Spun el, the north westernmost point in Africa. Portions of the coast are grandly precipitous. Again great forests awecp from noble heights Into slumbrous valleys which uudulato softly to the sea. Tbe lights and shades are strange. The green of the middle strait blends into a.rosy puos toward land, this Into a brilliant blue farther on, and the couat line nt the water's edguaeems like a thread of lustrous onyx. Above this, brown, then purple, then ertv erald, and beyond there fa a glowing oh,

ears, oangieta aim oangiets or tinanng metrals, and bright sakhes. tmrelegged and barefooted, or shod with loose wnidals - all as uncanny and Wefrd a lot as ever looted e ship and butchered Its crew In the good old days of Moorish piracy and pillage.

Formerly these black Imps gratified trav- elers bodily, lifted them astride t heir ttacha or shoulders and waded ashore with them. Recently a diminutive landing stage has been built, but the treatment is qulta as ferocious, i Ordinarily the stranger's belongings are seized and pitched Into half a doceu different small boats and himself made tbe unwilling subject of a fierce scramble, after which the victor pulls and hauls hla victim into still another boat and rushea him to the landing, where a separata bribe must be paid for the recovery of each article and a final heavy tribute Is exacted for one's own liberation.

Good fortune bad more than oooa attended me through tho alert and cunning service of Dobrado,and it stood me now In good stead, getting me on African sell un- relieved of as much aa a copper flu, although his rugged diplomacy at flrat aub- Jeoted me to some disquiet. Standing in front of me, as each furious onslaught by a porter was made, ami without apparent effort of his giant strength, first with his open right haud and then with hi* left, he sent African, MoOr, Berber and what not alike sprawling to tbe steamer's deck. Bach jumped nimbly to bla feat and slunk

faint orange, as though the valleys palpa- bly (lung I sack tho sunlight which lingered lovingly above.

Feasting with eager and aelfish delight Upon tbe glorioua suores of two contf nenta, I had lost sight of honest Dobrado; Dobra- do, who was to have returned to hla place by the babbling fountains of Lisbon, from. Hi'ja. should I peraUt in tramping i henna to Tavlra anil the nea; Dobrado, who was now sworn servitor and friend; Dobrado, broad or grin aa (iargantua, and of beam as Quixote's no leaa-faithful squire; Do- brado, whom 1 found with towering eyes and hideous face, a* rapt as 1 hail been, scowling with unutterable hata at the fair laud of the Moors, lu his attitude, looks, muiu-rlngsanil unconscious gesticulations. Increasing every moment in rapidity and intensity, the whole story of the irrevocable vengefulnoHH of Christian against Moslem aud Moslem against Christian was told.

1 tonched the Gallegau gently upon the shoulder, and my eyes sought his Inquir- ingly. He trembled and was woefully con- fused for a moment. Then his great blue eyes Maddened, and he said softly and slowly, as though his heart mean while traveled a long aud hitter way:

"There is not a elm/a (cahin) from Ktn- tsturre to Palencia In winch thura docs uot bang Home fore fin tier's galta or bos (sickle) or aword upon the wall, under which the (lallegan Imy la not daily hrougbL tu swear veugaauce fur tho mur- ders of the .Mourl"

As 1 pondered over Dobrado'* dramatic action and words 1 could not but feel that after all ft is a plcasaiitlulng to live, as we Americans do. so far removed from the endless mental if not physical claahiugs of these awful hereditary religious hatreds of the centuries. _ .

Hut Jimt' now we have rounded Cape Malabar, ami Tnngier Hen before ua like a mass of foam churned in the soothing tides of the (iihrallar strait ami tossed into structural semblance upon tho mountain rimnnsi shore of the hay. Soon the mass of white resolve* Itself Into aplatcbea of brilli.uil white and seams and chocker* of shade, then into white cu bea of varying dimensions. Gradually projecting corners and height i of snowy masonry take shape to the eye; and then tho pale pinks,, yel- lows and blues of the painted walls blend

' Into n rosy whole, broken only by a slender, 'square tower, with glistening porcelain sides, sud one huge, ruinous mass to which tbe city seaans to lead In giant housetop ■tips The one lathe lower, from the min- aret nf which thu .Mi.-i' in mii'/.'in ealla the faithful to prayers, crying Mohammed and Allah to the four quarters of tho earth. The other is Hut Kasha or castle, where the butcher Kirke, during' tho brief Eng- lish occupancy of Tangier which nave the wmld at least tho famous "I'epy's Diary." waa guilty uf more wanton crime* and butcheries than were ever .barged to fierc- est ami felbst tyrant Moor.

There is ho mobs, quay or pier at Tan- igers, and we eaino t. .ai.cli.ir near the shelv- ing shore, where the harbor aids tralTlo goes on with leiiuitrou* din and tin. Moor- ish custom* rnTicers squat upon their Laiinr lies tt;in~aci ioiiilieii iliirics in sever*

silence and gravity. On either side were iiiimbcrli-HH fuliiccia, With strange craft from Ihe lowcnMeditcrraiican arid perhaps two score of French. Spanish, Kugln.li and Dutch schooners, Larks and brigs . Rather a lonesome harbor teems that of Tangier, and the two huge Hellish men-of-war, which have been I) ing here several days in view of possible danger to "HritUh iirter- es(s,"(r..m tiii<- rlin-atenial revolt of Interior tnis-a, whonecm always to U- nl*mt to be .hiiin.'sotm'tliomyûili-a-iirit.Jaroaght again th- UI-II nml liUTiihTtariiig hai^jag.

wit h hair aud mnttod beard. Hack, curling and glossy a* Astrakhan wool, sprang from the crowd full upon Dobrado. Visions of tragedies, dungeon* in the Kasha, consular conrt* of Inquiry and,International com- plication* (lashed before me. The two clinched, parted, clinched again, aud after various alarming contortions, fell In what •till seemed to be a terrific embrace together upon their knees. Then such kissing and embracing began as I hail never before wen between man and man, man and woman, or, stranger still, between woman and woman?

Soon they arose utterly bresthleae, but radiant. Dobrado half dragged the hoik Ing fellow to me, and after the latter bad embraced my Still trembling kneos. Dobrar dosaid apologetically, but laodnlcally?

"I feared I would not meet him, senor. He Is my kinsman from Mundomxlo, beside the Ria tie !■'../.. Vou know the Galle- gans go wherever there Is money for to. He is half time portero and half time doe some service for a merchant here who has traffic with Vnlladblld." And then hesi- tantly, "Perhaps senor could find him useful in Tangier*'1

'Senor" could and did. "Benor," the writer, ahuns great hotels In his wander Ing*: loves to kuow tho lowly, and from their standpoint of thinking, feeling and condition to thus look through the back window* of foreign life ami ways.

No one can wholly toli another what Tangier IB like within lu ancleut city wail*. It has no stroet geography. Though It contains scarcely more than MO.OOu soul*, IU own Inhabitants get lost within It, aud there I* but one atrcct or way In which tho stranger Is safe (rum abaoluU wreck of

Hut for Dobrado and his kinsman I should have (units 1 hack, passed the night wu sii b- the great city gate upon the shore beneath the stars and some handy tar- paulin, ami Incontinently "fled the place, upon the next day'* steamer for Gibraltar. As It was, 1 kept close to my Gallegan guides. Tbe evening had fallen before we Had entered the city. The Biuglethorough fare was a babel of donkeys, camels, goals, water carriers, (..in-legged African soldiers and meri:haiiisc|.f-ir> • their tiny shop*. The din of "ltul„k I Balaltl Halakl"theeqiilva lent for our "Look out!" shrieked by thou •and* of voice* in the choky, chastiiliko street, wasdoafeniiig. Score* of times on our half mile way wv were ground against buildings, wedged between came la or flung Into pitch black arcbwayH.

After au hour's struggle we turned "from tbla main thoroughfare and plunged in and upward among a nuute of atreuts HO narrow that opposing wnl 1M i oil I bu touched by out Stretched hands.

Scott's Emulsion of cod- liver oil is an easy food—it is more than food, if you please; but it is a food—to bring back plumpness to those who have lost it.

Do you know what it is to be plump?

Thinness Is poverty, living from hand to mouth. To be plump is to have a little more than enough, a reserve.

U THERE NOT a pretty good b^'^ for an official inquiry into (he atate. menu of councllme^ brooks that a city official ttfer^ w purcBluc his vote by the pJomlaO of patronage? In Lynn a physician Is under arrest upon criminal charge for a like offence.

IT IS STATED that the democratic state committee of Pennsylvania will pay the fines of tho publishers convicted of libel upon senator Quay; it will occur to most people, that (hi- transac- tion will be a confession that the publi- calionjwas a part of the democratic pro- L't.mime. entered into for political elfei i; a partisan Mtcmpt to assail personally a political opponent '\<r galu in party ends. This is is not an altogether creditable position for the democrats o assume,

WHAT were-thoae "unarmed militia- men" at Bridgeport, Couu., about in attempting to pull down a British Hag upon a vessel? If there was a violation of law in Ihe act, as is alleged, there must be a legal leiucdy, auil of all people, members bTl force 'organized and main lain nl to preserve the peace, should be the last to participate in unlawful acts; hut we wonder very little; the cobrse of GQV. Bulkley in relatiou to the militia of Connecticut has had n fearful infiurncc towards its entire de- moralization.

THK publication of the life of Stone- wall Jackson, bv his wife, recalls some of the contradictions of character in this follower of the confederacy. He declared his belief that the triumph of the north would be followed by n dis- solution of all society, and be the pre- lude to aunrchy, inlldelity and the loss of responsible government on this "continent. Therefore he advocated raisin* the "black flag"—of "no quarter to (' e i lolators of our houses and firesides." This is pretty nearly the doctrine "f pirates; it Is true, while Stonewall Jack- son posed as a Christian, but he waia zealot if not a fanatic.

DOWN in Connecticut there was.a lodge, of one of the Massachusetts endowment concerns, the Helping'Hand, with headquarters at Lynn; recently a committee was seut to the supreme lodge to investigate affairs; their report Is not encouraging to the members; the officers admitted that owing to the failure of so many of these orders, the usefulness of New England an a recruiting field had departed, and they w obliged to rely solely upon the south aud west where their reputatiou had not preceded the workers, for any addition to the membership, and that the large cost of last vear would surely be in creased during the present.

Gorman and Crisp, have, it is'declared, frltle sympathy with tariff reform, are willing to temporize with the silver riuestion until after election, and urge upon the (wriff reformers 'a delusive

d dishonorable expediency," which threatens to cariy the democracy down n an "overwhelming defeat." At

present this paper declares tbat the democrats of the house are "leaderless Md drVlded;" Utal with it* enormous democratic majority the house has made

He turned from Merrlmack street on to Osgood utreet and before be reached tbe railroad tracks he waa seen by tbe fltgmao, who says tbat ha signalled him with his lantern. For some reason or other the man failed to heed tbe warning aud drove on to the tracks just sa the passenger train which leaves South Lawrence at 7 o'clock came tearing aloug. The engine struck tbe horse In the right shoulder hurling It a distance of about 75 feet down the track. Tin- driver was thrown out by the force of tbe collision and struck a few feet from the planks In the roadway. He was killed almost Instantly. He waa lifted np and carried Into tbe flagman's bouse rt tbe side of the track. When tbe train escbed North Andover Dr. Howe was

summoned. He examined tbe body of the Ictim of the accident and pronounced

tbat death bad resulted from a fracture of the sknll oear the base of the brain, probably caused by contact with the iron rail, Tbls was tbe only Injury found, but bloodooted from one of Ma ears. Under-

The carriage, a Concord wagon, was partially demolished the right shaft blag iroken and the two wheels on tbe right were also badly damaged.

and wilt enter upon his duties March 1. IN COMMON COUNCIL.

Tbe common conncll met .in regular session Wednesday evening every ber being present. Councilman Dow moved to.dUpenee with ibe reading of the records, but Councilman Kenned) desired tbeoi read and so ihe,clerk began a tiresome 15 minutes work.

A batch of business] was transacted in concunence.

An order came down from the aldermen authorizing the printing committee to go ahead and secure tbe printing of city doc- inn* utj*.

Notice camej'down [rrom the upper board that tbe Mayor and three aldermen had been appointed aa a committee to co- operate with tbe Grand Army in the reception of Governor Russell upon bis visit to this city next Tuesday evening to attend the O. A. It ball. A similar order adopted In concurrence.

U"on the motion of Councilman Ryan It was voted that a like ^committee, to consist of the president of the council and ont member from each ward, should be appointed. .*, .

President Kane appointed as members of that committee: Councllmen Wlngate, Wbelan,Byan, Flnff Barnes and Bralih- wake.

Councilman Dow»lntroduced an order tbat the committee on printing'''ah'ould solicit bids for the prlutlng of the re- portsj of tbe different departments and tbelr report be presented to the city conncll. The order was adopted.

After the order had been adopted Councilman Ryan thought that be smelt

at and be arose and said that he was about to make a motion to reconsider as be thought that tba order would stop the committee from awarding the contract to the lowest bidder until the report came before tbe city council but if tbe order could not be construed that way he wonld cot make a motion to reconsider.

Councilman Dow Informed his fellow member tbat tbat waa his intention. He said ibat he didn't think that there was anything in connection with the city gov erument In wblch there had been so much crooked business as In tbls matter ol awarding contracts for printing, and be for one should like to examine tbe bids of each Orm.

Tbe matter will come ap at the next meeting under unfinished business.

A queer thing about this matter Is that the conncll, a few minutes before, had concurred In an sldermanlc order authorising tbe committee on printing, wltbom any bida'or any check whatever, to look after tbe city printing and make contracts.

Councilman Ryan Introduced an ordei dtrec lug the cblef-enalui-er to ceuee tbi Are alarm hells to be sounded every evening at 6 n'clock. He .caul tbat It wss to enable iheêmployts of the city and outside laborers wbo close wotk at 6 o'clock to learn the time. It was amended bj Councilman Dow so as to order the dls-

iiuar.ee of, striking the alarm si 7. 4A p. in. As'ameLded ihe crder was adopted. There was some ditcuialoc, but on i He. vole no one was recorded In opposition. Tbe only argument raised against tbe proposed measure was that it wan tampering with signals that should be used for Ore purposes only.

Councilman Duw Introduced an order tbat tbe committee en tlteetabe directed to prepare a list of streets to be watered the coming summer, ibe expediency oi bujing new apparatus, ripairlcg ihe old, sod of asseaslng tbe cuat of watering tbe streets and *uib other matteis.as*may be pertinent In uinection with tke order. Adopted.

Councllman^Dow alao Ihiroduced an order directing the committee on fire department to give an immediate report of any contracts It baa made. Adopted. This last order, the councilman explained was introduced, Jo that tbe city might ratify a contract made by tbe tin- depart- ment committee for reoeira on Engine 3. The committee bad no right lo spend more tban 1100 [without consulting the government, bnt tbey had made a contract involving t-lAO. It was simply tbat Ure city conncll might redly tbelr action tbat tbe order was introduced.

The council proceeded to the election of a city solicitor. Tbe Drat and second ballots showed divided strength for Charles A. DeConrcy, Wm. 8, Knox and J. J. Maboney. ,

Tke third ballot resulted Dt&araf » If ahoney 8, aad Knox I.

Tbe fourth ballot waa the decisive one and resulted DeCOuny 10 and Maboney

8. and C. A. DeCourcy was declared elected oa tas part of the coun-ll.

After transacting some minor business the council adjourned.

Furber of lbs Boston aud Maine railroad waa bold, tba principal part of the service* being conducted In this city st the Unitarian church. Tbls amatl edlilce never before field such a targe and notable gathering. It being decidedly Inad- equate to meet the demands of the i.an dreds of railroad men iu attendance

At *,80 o'clock tba |body of tbe dead msnager was taken from his late residence on Blauchard street and conveyed to tbe church under tbe escort of a guard of honor. The guard consisted of the officials of tbe local Boston and Maine •h-.ps and was composed of William F. Cutler, N. A. Holt, J. B. Campbell, El- win Ayer , Andrew Cralg and Charles E Copp.

Upon arriving at the church the casket. was placed on a bier lu fro a*, of m-i altar where for over two hours tbe remains lay ID state and were viewed by fully fiOOQ people. Tbe remalnajwere encased ln|a bandiome

broadcloth covered casket, with heavy sliver handles and trimmings, and a massive plate faring the following Inscrip- tion : --James T. Furber, died Jan. 27, 1R91.- Aged 14 Tears,, 7 mouths and 22 days."

About the casket were jtastefully arranged numerous beautiful fliral tributes wblch were sent, despite the request for no flowers. At the head or the casket i large floral pillow re*:ed, upon which the Inscription "Father" appeared In blue Im- mortelles; tbis came from Mrs. Join R Poor, daughter of the deceased. Other floral pieces were: Standing cross of white roses snd Ivy leaves encircled by a wreath of yellow pansies from Boston anil Maine employees; pillow of white and varied roses, from officers of the road; large handsome tablet ;of rose sod ivy leaves bearing a white scroll with tbe Inscription |"Onr |Osueral Manager, James T.

F. Richards of Amesbury and numerous otner wreathes and set pieces. Tbe floral' display waa magnificent tbe pieces all being large and undoubtedly the fluest of any ever seen at a local obaequlea.

The chnrcb was modestly trtmmeu with evergreen and ferns, tbe original front of the altar being hidden by sprigs of hemlock and clusters of rrljprrlr-

At the Lowell depot, tbe fonersl train waa In waiting. It comprised the lsrge new engine "Bethany," a combination car, *he directors' car "Sorrento" and -•ix coaches. All were heavily draped. Tbe combination car, In addition, bad the following Inscription on tbe shies, ''We monrn our loss."

Tbe engiae as well as being draped wa>| trimmed with flowers. Across the front was a maionlc repres:ntation of the "royal arch." This was composed of ivy, with supports of thistle balls. With- in the arch was a large floral broken column. Tbe keystone of tbe arch bore the Initials "J. T. F." in monogram, un- clrcled In masocle symbols. In the headlight of tte locomotive was the compass and square of tbe masonic fraternltv Bouquets placed here and there on tbe engine, added to Its beauty.

1'be train bearing the remains of the late General Manager James T. Furber, which left Lawrence at 1 o'clock, after the services at tbe Unlinrlan church, reached Its destination two hours later.

Alâlong tbe line, at every station, town and city, expreaslona if deep sorrow— were shown for tbe departed. Crowds turned out and atood silently b> aa tbe train rolled on.

At Haverhlll, railroad sqrare presented a crowded appearance, fnlly 3000 people being congregated there to see tbe funeral train. Tbe depot platform was util- ized by the railroad employees who stood with uncovered heads until tbe train had disappeared.

In tbe woods near Ward lliil a very touching tribute waa paid by a single section man at work on the road. As tbe tr.-ln apnroached, be slepped aside from the track and with uncovered bowed lu-ao awaited lts(passage. He never llfied hi* head to view tbe decorations on the mm, and remained in tbat position as long at- the train was in sight. This little act .caused,many an eye to well In the mourners' car snd touched a Under coro In ihe,hesrtsof many a sturdy railroad man on board.

At Exeter the shop help turned out and mingled with other town people in paying their t Hum- of respect to tbe memory of the dead.

A stop was made at Newmarket Junc- tion where a lunch waa In walling foi the funeral party. Fifteen minutes later tbe train started again snd from thai point made rapid headway to the end ol the Journey.

The depot and adjoining streets at Dover, N. H., were literally packed with people as tbe train rolled through that station: Uocovered heads were numerous, while despite the large congregation uot a murmur waa made above a whisper The clanging of tae locomotive: bell alone breaking tbe Btillness which retgu-

party from the cemetery the train waa made ready for lu return and at 6 o'clock steamed out »f tbe Great Fads depot. No stop was made until It arrived bare wblch was about 6 98 o'clock, r,

A special meeting of tbe school baard was beld left Tuesday evening; lo bear the report of tbi i lib-committee appointed to look into tbe mstU'ruf better school accommodations tor the village district. Tbe subcommittee looked tbe prenmct over carefully snd they reported thai a new liulltling WSJ greatly needed, the coat of which ought not to exceed $10,000. This report was accepted by the board, j.

We Uke great pleasure in endorsing tbe report of ibe autwommittee and It must be re- meuibered tbat those gentlemen who represent Hie hoard were1 actuated by the one desire by having at heart tbe liesl inttreala of iho children attending tlie school In question.

Besides It will be money saved by putting np a new building. Let suy one try to convert tbe present structure into s modern school- houie, what system of ventilation coukLW-- usedf How umeJi would it cost f And-*uen completed the result woald be dlasatlslsclion upon all sides.

The people In Abbott* VlUsgs have shewn remarkable path-net In this matter. It will be remembered that la.t yesr tbe laik was "wait another >ear and vou may get a new school boose." The year bas come and we earnestly bope that1 the appropriation asked by tli* ■cbool board will be granted.

It will I* • great mistake If the building li not made ■ufflcieniiy '*rge to provide for tba growth In numbers that Is sure to occur, and the expression* of those baring control are ib*t no mistake will be made.

A literal appropriation for tbls object will meet with frtvor wltb the taxpayer** who know that It is poor economy to construct inferior bnildlnf*.

HllllUMl TOWN SFriCERS.

In the course of s few week* town meeting day will be upon us snd It Is our purpose to consider for a moment tbe men whose term of office expire*.

First the retiring member of the hoard of selectmen Jobn S. Stark of Bsllardvale has been a memlier of tbe board for tbe past two years and so far a* we know bas performed tne duties of lil. office In a very acceptable man- lier, he It etvtt and ohltctng to all who ap-- proach blm either in public or private matter* and politically Mr. Kurt I" a great deal strong, r man today than ho was two year* ago We understand that be li in the field for re- election and we have no -hesitation In saving that Mr Stark will succeed himself. Of course there is »uine tslk about the centre district not being represented In tbe board but we fall to ■ee anv point in tbat unless It be a desire on tbe part or a few to dcnrlre Daltai ,i-«lc of Iiai lug a re pre tentative In the board which we certainly woujd not endorse, besides tbe chairman of lbs iKMird (minus ileeping hours) spends more time in the centre of tbe town tban In all the, other district* combined, but this question remains with tbe voters who have the right 16 "lifHiw their entire hoard from any part ot the town.

George A. Putnam as town clerk and collector I* a mo*t valuable officer being kind and courteous lo ail who have occasion to transact buslneis wltb him. Ill* vast knowledge of town dullness and affairs In general make blm

"*" htithelp- ... AM.. Mr

Putnam's rs-ele:tion there Is no doubt whatever.

The town'* monies ha* been caivfully handled during tbe past year by George A. Parker wbo ha* given universal satisfaction as town treasurer and'we do not xnow of any one more fitted for the position than tbe prcient incumbent.

We next come to tbe school board. Tbu u a work of love. The retiring member* are: Prof. W. B. Graves, F. O. Baldwin, Mr*. Lttxle A. Wii-,,,1 Ballard Vale.

For anything we know to tbe contrary, they might stand for re-election. There I* one thing to be considered In connection with tbls department. The members of the board have to give their time tor nothing and It undoubtedly 1* one of the hardest position* to Hiand gWeaatisfactlon. There I* some talk about going back to tbs old iyitem of having three member* Inttead of nine as at present. We bope that sucb a scheme will not teceive conild eration for In our opinion the public s:booli oi Andover at tbe present time >tand second to none of any town and many cities in the state. No doubt some may find fault at the time devoted to paper cutting, clay modelling and sucb like, hut we do Sot Iwlieve that even tbat time Is wholly lost to the children, for who can tell what may be slumbering in the breasts of some of tbe«« little ones and- all. thai It re- qulre> is a spark to awaken tbe desire for some such training and it must be remembered tbat ihl* MII ly is not given at the sacrifice of any nt Ihe more common branches of education. No indeed,.for auyoue wbo will Uke tbe pains to visit Siipt. Halstead's room, will he iho«n ■pex-lmens of writing by children not over ten year* of age wblch would put to shame some wbo have had tbe privilege of a college education. Our schools are something which every dtiun of this old town-might well be proud of

With regard to the water cotnmli*loners, James P Buttertleiil Is tbe retiring otflcial. No one will .loin.i ni* ability to till the position orovided hi* health holds good, sad we nope It will. ~

The next In order is a trustee for tbe Memo, rial Hall Lihiary for seven years.' Tbe official whose term expires is James B. Smith. It i* not nicemary for ut to say anv thing In favor or retaining Mr. Smith as he Will be unanimously reappuinted If he desires to serve.

The town constable* are i George F. Cheever, George W. Hears, Charles l". Tuck.

Tbe fence viewers, and measurer* of wood are; John B. Abbott, Nathan F. Ahhott and George Bucban. That complete* the list ot ufflcers wbo will tie elected by ballot on the Hut Monday in March.

We wlah to s«y a few words regarding tbe office of Muerfnu ndiiiit of streets. This position is at present nir. ,i by Joseph I Lovejuy. It ii not an elective office as tbe incumbent is appointed by tbe board of selectmen. We consider that Mr. Lovejov has given admirable ■aiUfscllon. We do not Infer tbat he has satisfied everyone- Oh, no. But where I* the men tbat can ? One must remember that our roads are In remarkably good cjinlitiou at th* present time snd much better than ever 'je to rei and we think ho stronger proof I* necessary than tbe roads themselves which fact muit be apparent to every one. Of course one cannot expect country roads to be as.well kept a* those In the centre or Immediate vicinity. We earnestly believe that Mr. Lovejoy has proved himself a v.luable and efficient public servant In regard to the stone crusher It i* admitted by all tbat tbe lown made a good investment, for it ha* already nearly paid for itself dtmng the Kst year, etunieiblag like ,slx mileA of road

* been gravelled over, while several miles have been laid with crushed stone; abo new sidewalk* have been made and old Sue*™. paired In neaily every district in the towii. It must lie borne In mind that our roads were in s terrible condition wbeu Mr. Lovejoy received ids appointment owlug to the water pipe*leing newly laid. Following this came tbe introduction of tlie ejeitrlc car tracks which broke up our main street for some lime and'was a tenribis disadvantage fur ibe new superintendent of (treet*. bnt everything I* corning out ahwlght snd our street* are again In first class londl- tion, and so f*r as our knowledge leads us. we do m.t know of another person more flttsW for the place than the present •uperintsndenlJC

EDITOR AMDOVBR ADVEBTIIBH I DBARSIH: To those acquainted with mlll-

tarv movement*, especially In that which relates to evolution* of the batalllon and brigade, under wnat l* known** tactics, it cannot but be of interest to know tb*l anything that can umplify operations is of infinite advantage, not only to tbe greater effectiveness of such, bat likewise to the comfort and benefit of the (oldlera. * - - .--arc

I have, Ie time* past, been Impressed with Ibe great amount of drilling that loldiery, under the ordinary method of operating were sub- jected to, and often thought that much of It could be obviated by tbe adoption of different tactics.

It saaMMstHM whether It be Cooper, iScott, Harden, Casey, Upton, or anv- other thai baa been used, a vast anount of It is entirely unnecessary. Tbe methods nsed to bring a regiment from column of com pan Ie* for Instance, Into line of battle, by deploying or the ma- neuvering for change of front, can all be performed in tbe simplest, com pie teat and most effective manner, ,

Tbi* I* done under wbst may be called "Movement by right of KeglmenU" and Is all tbat is necessary to make sny formation required In sctual service, and Una can be done in double quick or at any speed : and this admit* of a brigade btlng manouvercd la verv much let* time than hy the present method* used

Tbe regiment can be formed ready for action in any direction; it may be drawn up with the enemy In front, or If neeesssry to change front to the ngbt or left, tbi* can be done, by a single command. For example;—Tbe regiment being In line, faced to the front, to move forward lu sight ranks i The color-guard stands fast, the two wing* are faced toward* It; tbe• conrniand "March" 1* given and tbe guard move* to the front, tbe two wing* file to tbe right and left following -tt.——

If it 1* desired to form line of battle racing to tbe front, when reaching tbe point intended. tbe command, "Forward Into line, march" 1* given, and tbe guard bait* and tbe wlug* form forward on tbe right and left st tbe necessary speed-

If when moving. It is desired to form line facing tbe right, the right wing baits and pace* and the left torm* "on tbs right, by file into line."

If It is desired to form line racing tbo left, the left wing 1* baited and faced, and tbe right wing form*, "on the left by file mm line."

If it is desired to form Ilns facing fie left, tbe left wing I* baited and faced, and tbe right wing form*, "on tbe left by file Into Mae."

In carrying out the above movement the officer in command gives the only order neces-av at the outset, namely:—"Movement In E'ght Ranks"—and the wing* should st once pa e Inwardly.

Ally OBB familiar wltb the various movement* and urders neceoary lu. tbe evolutions required by the preseut method* In pamng from order In battle to order In columu, and from tbat to order In battle,'and. tbe march In line of battle, etc., can readily see the advantage* pointed out In the simple and effective

Slsti or moving troop* in actual aervlee. There s* been gradual bnt-steady Improvement In .

the style and make or armory, used:—tbe old flint lock musket, with balL cartridge and backibot ba* given way to breech loader* snd metal cartridge, and valuable Improvements have been had otherwise; but tbe harra**lng. Interminable, drill, drill, drilling which tbe present system of tactic* requires ought to give way to simpler method* aud tbe one above pointed out, I* one step forward in the march ot prog re-v OBSKHVLII.

Among the fashionable set, good figures are the ei- ceptlon rather than ibe rile, most of them being too fat. Of course, this does nut apply Jo tbe yoang girls, b*t they, like all American youug girls In lb* North are apt to be at the ollu r .■ xtreme, and that la, a little scrawny. We are of so many nallooalllleB that it IB abusing to l'i jr of a woman wbo traces her dhu figure to the different liluod she luliei-ii.-.

The smallnusa of my feet and bauds I inherit from my mother, who la an American, and my quickness la solv- ing all r.hla from my Isth-r, who Is an American politician born lu Ireland."

A WOMAM'B POLITICS

Jumping from curves lo politics, 1 should like to say that I am lo training fur tbe neit presidential election. This may mesa not much to most people, but It means a treat deal to me because my pillilcalcareer has been varied. At a very early age, and under the tuition of a (Quaker grand father, I was an old line Wulg; later un, when I learned to read, 1 in aame an ardent follower of Charlen Ktuarl, and was a Royalist from the back bone. Evidently I hadn't roach backbone for after a coarse of French history, I became a Huuoparlisf. During the Fran- co-Qenaau war I spent three days wltb some German friends, snd e-spriuaud that side, returniug home Hinging "The Watch on the 11 tine j" asths family were alt op- pised to tbls I changed my conviction and thi alarnellaiae waa thumped un lh< piano, and I tried to make It aound dig iilttnd on tbe banjo. After that I look a positive democratic stand.

A WUHAN'S I OKI Or I'UOTiri ion.

I have been reading aboat tbe lanfl qne*tton,*nd I don't know what I inn. i don't know whether I am a b* liever In prolec'lon, or whether lam a freetrader. I like tbe name prolecllo* much better tban I tiki free trade, because protection auggc*t* that of some OM taking care of you, which i*** wilier don't. But If yon could get things la without having to pay any daty on them, you lose the pleasure of amuggllog; though, If the duty were too high and you l*af< -:i.ui;lii, you wuu|tl have to give Op all yi.ur duds. I know what I do believe In—I believe In bums industries, aad If we American women had baif the feeling on that subject that tbe Engllsb women have we wuuld be making the Quest fab- rics in the wor>d here. When the en- gsgtment of that uutiappy princess Tic-

Was that suhacrlpllon going to buy her a piece of Jewelry la Lnndon or I'arls? Ortalnly not. It was to be spent In Ireland; It was to buy for her llie fines' piece of Irish lace that the Irish Uce makers could weave. Another SII'I-

.-i i in1 i.HI, taken up either In Manchester or Birmingham, was to bay ber brocade fur one,ef her weddlag gowns, tbe de- fign to be drawo by Eugllab wearers. N i«. that Is what I call patriotism, and mat is wbat I call encouraging home In- due try. I

several pointed remarks were made. Al-

derman Martin presltk-d. Tue report of

City Engineer Marble was read1 and ac

Cepied. 1 Upon the motion of Councilman

Brooks,*. D. Marble was re-elected for

the current sear by a unanimous vote It was then moved that a ballot be

taken for Mr. Marble's assistant. Tbis met with tbe objecUoii_£f Councilman

Warren Who warned to know why the ffreseal incumbent, Cheater Hudson, was

not elected In a similar manner to the electldb of tbe head of tbat department

Councilman Brooks the maker of tbe

motion then told the member from ward five that it was not done because

b« didn't think that Mr. Hudson would

be elected.

i IUIC limau Warren wanted to know If

he had not been a good man for the posi-

tion siatlojr. that be had always been

of ibe oplnloD that he bad. Tbl s question in i n- tu. forth some pretty

nlisrp remarks from Councilman.Btooke. Hi.-,In Mib-iai.ee,said that both parties had

viidiavurtd lo keep poiltica remote from tiiia ii. [uu in. HL dnni .; ih.- las' fifteen or

aiiiet-n years. Mr. Hsrble had been

elected durinft every democratic admin-

station, since be bid held tne posl'Ion, be

i-susfc be was suited to the position and

bad cot meddled with politics. Mr. Hud

sou bas, however, IM-II In polillca /or the

pa-t two years, having run for city cleik

aod atreet commissioner. The council-

man fui tin-r aald that he considered Mr. Hudson in offensive partlzau ana be (the cuancllm ■") would n"ver role for him.

Tbe speaker alao stated tu "goring a re-

cess of i \.u recent convention of tbe city

irovernmen thu man lu question csmu to blm and. offered to give .-. certcln party

the position of second hand of the street ile art merit, If he (Brooks) would

vo'e for blm and he was elected. He alast

-aid tbat tbe office seeker made tbe remark tbat he had no regard ' T tbe re-

publican party and would fill all the jobs

.th democrats. It Waa the opinion of the councilman from ward two tbat Mr

Hudsoi should have been at work In the

.-■■nine, rliia department lnsir.au of trying

'u secure blsvote. ."Counoiiman Warren didn't blame tbe

man for be'ox ambitious and wanti»g to

go higher and be said that be was not Sdra tht'. the assistant eniitneer had neg-

lected bis daTta to "attend to tae matter.

AUIerman Martin tbeu had his little

Contraiv to his predecessor be

thought tbat Mr. Hudson was neglecting

ill in duties In trylni: to rnn hs

own campaign. He too didn't blame a

iv ui for being ambitious bnt be did not

Lhink that a man should neglect bla busi-

ness tu further such a desire. Re rtated .list be was elected to look a(t;r the lu-

do It as carefully as he would do If be

Titles and Plain "llii'sr." Not manj- years ago the title of doctor

was consiilereJ justly ua an honor and an evidence of .bound education and training.

.--Tha eilrtmrdirmry fondjigss Jn__tliia country fur titles of all kiiuls, especially those ot.doctor, profes- r and colone! or Bomo military eqnival-iit, hns taken away, nil the prestige from the name. Tim ilrtigtri.it at the corner is a "doctor," tlio ehiropodist is a "profeapor," and the advertising column*of some newspapers nre emblszotied with picttires of these long haired "doctors" and ''professors."

To a man wbo has been n gVoom the bentowal of "doctor meilidnjB," no doubt, still confers an honor; bnt, on tba whili., the title ha* become rather a trade mark and a convenient means of unobtrusive advertisement rather than a badger of distinction or evidence* of scholarly attainment.

Tlur ■ i-ii-mi to IM? a growing feeling that, nfter all, tbe title of "miBter" i* as noble a one as a gentleman needs or can desire.

This is lh<* title that is almost now a distinction among medical men, who ftt-1 their own strength and rest on theii consciousness of being masters of their art—Ihe good old title of "mister," which some of' the ) >- -1 me'n In the profession find ample for nil social and professional purposes. It Li certainly infinitely more honorable than any unarmletnic or tin- warranted use of the. title of "doctor." And I see muny indications that thii view is shared by the professional and by many who think they have a right by eonmay to something more.—New York H«raJd. „ .

THE PROPOSITION for the prolonga-

tion of fienolugton street, necessitating

a new bridge over the Spicket, near the

church of the Immaculate Conception,

has much to aecure commendation; it

would afford far more direct communi-

cation with a territory already well

built up, and be in many ways of public

advantage.

WHEN a republican, ambitious to be

prominent as a leader, finds persistent

commendation from democratic sources,

and fulsome eulogy from democratic or-

gans, other republicans will have forced

upon thorn the inquiry why this swtet

solicitude from the other side of (he

political house. And they will guess

pretty accurately the reason.

TO-DAY'S endowment order to get

into the toils of the law is the order of

Knights and Ladies of Protection, for

which a receiver U asked, on account

of illegal use of the funds; this is a ten

year organization; it is a dull day now,

when the records of tho jourt are not

illumined with proceeding against one

or more of the endowment concerns.

NOT one of the nearly a score of failed

endowment orders, but is tainted with

rascality and fraud; "ah." says one of

the existing supremes, "these were

short term orders." Well, if the certi-

ficate holders in the "long-termers"

t'.ink that all of the rascals happened

to get to be officers of the short terms,

and that only saints are in control of

the others, let them1 go on thinking so

until) the crash undeceives them..

ONE cannot but admire the masterly,

albeit autocratic manner in which may-

Hathews sways the board of nhler-

iiu'B of Boston and carries his poiatt in

relation to any matter of public impor-

tance; the mayor is determined to be in

absolute control of municipal affairs,

and thus far he has succeeded. Indeed,

it is a question of what possible use is

he aldermen and councilmen at the

present time; the mayor is the city gov-

ernment to all intents and purposes.

UEOitoiA liKMm i; \TS are evidently

a state of panic; ihn state committee

has beenifcurriedly called to meet at an

early date, the chairman issuing an ex-

planatory circular in which he states

that there is need for prompt action to

head off the people's party, which is

likely to combine with the aHiance and

the old greenback element, and he fran-

tically appeals to the farmers not to so

act as to take state out of the hands of

the "better element." The chairman

of the committee at all events is thor-

oughly scared^

DEMOCRATS continue to claim that

the reciprocity treaties under the Mc-

Kinley hill aro worthy,obly of sneers,

but here is a single fact in relation to

one of these agreements which is not Is

be put out of sight by words. Last

month there wasTKported into Cuba as

shown by the official records at Havana,

(12,371 sacks of flour from the United

States, and none from Spain. During

the same mouth one. year atro, before

the reciprocity treaty, the imports were

from the United States 2720 sacks and

from Spain 38,490.

No BETTER illustration of the fallacy

of the assessment endowment scheme

could be had than is drawn from the

Royal Ark and the Progressive Benefit;

the format was the first of the one year

orders to commence business and the

first to go to tho wall; curliest m the

Hold it had the advantage of the start

ofalliu competitors; it waxed great,

and stroug, paid off a fraction of its

members at a big profit, and then went

to smash, leaving thousands of mem-

bers, som> of whom had paid in 9138,

who will be fortunate if they receive

back two cents nn the dollar. The Pro-

gressive Benefit had secured a member-

ship of $40,000, the largest in the' list

it had planted lodges all over the wesl

and was rapidly growing when its pay-

iiijt period came; surely this concern

could live if any; but ,in less than ten

weeks from the first payment trouble

came, and it has gone to wreck with

only $50,000 with which to pay .10,000

members. It does not require much

windnm to read 'ho lesson.

Voi'No MR. Dow ought to have been

called into consultation by ex-speakcr

Reet!, on the question of the rules of

the national house; he could have

evolved some parliamentary law which

would have astonished the man from

Maine. The common council of our

city, of.which Mr. Dow is a member,

and in which ho aspires to be the re-

publican leader, has a rule that motions

mid resolutions may he reconnldexfid .at

the meeting at which passed or the one

next succeeding. The other evening,

a resolution waa passed in concurrence

*rith the aldermen; no motion or notice

of a motion to reconsider was made

during the session, and there is no rule

requiring any papers to be held for re-

consideration. After two or three days

Mr. Dow woke up, or some bright fel-

low called'his attention to the scope of

the order which had gone through

whereupon he rushed impetuously to

the clerk of the council and served on

that officer notice,—which might

well have been given to the major of

the common,—that he proposed to offer

at the next session of the council n mo-

tion for reconsideration, and demand-

ing that the clerk therefore refuse to

give thi paper to the committee in-

structed hv it1 And this Is a specimen

of the parliamentary wisdom of the self

appointed "leader" of tho republhans

such leadership, heads directly for i

ditch.

HAP TWO WIVES.

John Chantry Charsred with

polyjjamy.

Friday night Inspector Libber and Ser- geant Sulllran went to Andover and ar-

rested John Chant.y apoo a complaint

charging him with polygasty. Upon Jan-

nary 18 of this year Chantry married a dressmaker residing In Andover by the

name of Marlon Hunter. The ceremony

waa performed by Rev. A. H. Amor*, at

the Grace church In this city. After

living together for a few days in Ando- ver, Chantry went.to Providence, R. I.,

where he remained until Friday night when he returned to Andover. During

thai days which elapsed daring Chantry's

stay In Providaace the fact became known

to Mrs. Chantry that her husband waa

not a single man at the time of their marriage aa he had a wife, who was confined

In some Institution. In England. This

surprising news came from a daughter of

Chantry's named Mrs. Annie Saxon, who

who resides at 850 Water street of this clly. The marriage had bean celebrated

In quite an extensive manner and It was

through this celebration that Mrs. Saxon

learned of her father's recent marriage.

Accordingly she went to Mrs, Chantry

and Informed her of Chantry's crime.

Mrs. Chantry placed tke matter in the hands of the police of this city. Inspec-

tor Libhey cabled to the soperlntendeni of the workhouse at Oldhass, England,

am Inquired If Chantry's wife was still

living and received a reply that she was.

As Chantry was In Providence it waa feared that some trouble would result) In

getting him back to this city but for some reason he suddenly appeared at the

home of Mrs. Chantry.seconJ, )n Ando- ver Friday uighi. The police were noti-

fied and late Friday night the two oMcers named went to Andover and took the

poly gam ist Into their custody.

He was bronght to this city and ar-

raigned In court Saturday charged with polygamy. Bis daugater, Mrs. Saxon,

England, one In this country. The de-

fendant brought the latter here with him when bs came, she being a mere baby

then. The witness sald.that she had lived

with bar mother op ,to her .tenth year.

tier mother had been subject to fits snd was taken to Lancaster Insane aaylnm

The last time'that the witness saw her

mother was about four years sgo. With- a few months the*.latter had been re-

moved from the Lancaster asylum to the workhome ,at Oidham. As regards

her mother being dead, Mrs. Baxon said

that she w i ■ u«>i dead December 30th of last year, which was the'last time that

she nad received a letter from England.

The witness further said the* her father sailed to thU country with a servan1. and

they had lived together here. This

woman died eometime daring the summer past. Four children had been bora to them during the years that tbey had

lived togetbar. Three of these children

had been taken to thi Wanderers Home

In Boston and the remaining ene.Chantry

had taken. When Chantry was'asktd if he wished

to question als daughter, he produced a

letter which he claimed bad been written by her. Among other things, was the

statement at the top of .the letter, "My

mother is dead." Mrs. Sax in said that

she had written the letter with the ex-

ception of this .sentence. Mrs. Chantry took tke stand and said

that she .had bean married to Chantry Jai

16. He had told her that his other wife

waa dead. Inspector Llbbey said that be bad

talked wltb C-iantry, who had stated that he bad been legally married ln> England

He had also showed the Inspector tbe

letter, which he hsd produced in court. The defendant when q-eetloaed by the

court, admitted that he had not been mar-

ried to the woman who .had sailed from England with him. The ciurt held that

there was probable cause to find Chantry

(Copyright, 1901, by Edgar L. Wakeman.] TANGIKH, Morocco, Jan. Ifl.—The present

■revolt of tbe tribes" In Morocco, though doubtless overeat!mated In Importance, renders a tour of adventure to tho Interior by any white man from Tangier aa impossible performance. It aim brings sharply to mind many reoout prophecies, from hLgheet Rurupean diplomatic sources, of the early disintegration of this tbe laat barbaric sultanate of ancient Mauritania.

At least four great European powers are mcemediu tbe acquisition of all northern

Africa. For years Italy has hi. 1 her itching fingers In the affaira of Tripoli, whose trade with the African equatorial kingdoms La enormous.

France, from her new and matchless empire of Algeria, ta pushing her railways across the eastern Ismndnries of Morocco, and but a few weeka alnce took forcible possession of the rich oaals of Tuat. This point, about 7U0 miles a trifle southwest of Algiers and a trifle southeast of Tangier, is In the central-northern portion of the Sahara. It ia by all odds the most splendid possible strategic possession tn northern A friea. Here tbe great oarnv&n routes converge from all parts of the Sahara and even from central Africa and the countries bordering on the Cirlf of Guinea. France has thus tapped, diverted and rauirt eventually Largely control the richest trade of a major portion of the entire African continent.

An Rngliah fleet Is now at Cadlx. Two of her great warahtpa are In this very harbor. Another English man -of-war ia by this time at Cape Juby. At the latter place, abont BOO miles down the western ooaat of Morocco, just opposite the Canary Islands, Immense KagUaih trading interests haye been established with the Axuad count ry and the wot em Soudan; and all of these have been diverted from their old channels through the Morocco sultanate to Its commercial capitals, the citios uf Morocco, Fez and Tangier. Powerful Brit- lah interest* at Tangier are seeking and would be benefited by Morocco's disrup- tion.

Meantime poor old Spain, the hereditary foe of the Moor, la gloating over the probable neitr downfall of his riliereefiiin high- ness, Muley Hassan, and will find her own fall reward in simple revenge; though when the occasion of dismemberment comes, a few additional ennuis will doubtless fall toher picking, [u her last en- counter with the Moore she retired vic- torious and, not wholly empty handed, and still holds, as earnest of her prowess In 1830, all the cities of the'northern Morocco coast, save Tctuan and Tangier.

The present no called revolt ia locally attributed to theexactionaof thebaahaw of Tangier. These are no worse nor better than they have always been. By sotnu It Is vaguely hinted that it ia but tbe beginning of a dangerous revolution against Muley HnsHHii by hla ne-ntly deposed ltallfaoraupreme judge, HI. I ihcNullan's brother, Muley lamain, who was banished from Fas with the kulifa In November I Knowing merchant* and small dlplon whisper of French intrigue and renegade Berber and- Rtm by leer, ebtef emissaries.

In any event the four powers named are eagerly alert for the possibilities in all new moves In northern Africa, and Morocco, the ln-f remaining empire of kirliarisin of ancient Mauritania, is doomed. The glit- ter and clink of a hundred thousand ehancjml rifles girdle. It on the east and south. Upen mouthed camion complete tbe circle on the north and wcat. Strange- ly enough, civilisation often confronts bar- barism In this way. Therein not at this moment a break In its circling impact. .The inevitable iiinl resistless pressure may come before these wonts can And thel: place In print. It may tint come before the century Is done, but It la no leaa inevitable

Until then, from any standpoint, this weird old eity must.j-eimtin ii place of tbe rarest Interest. No one can tell Its agi Tbe sieges, pillages and pestilences it ha withstood are heartrending It la the moat Moorish of all Moorirdi cities. Decuying, ruinous, hoary, It lias still clung, though but twenty miles from Christian Kuropo, to its primitive cuaioms closer than Tunis, Alexandria or Cairo. Costume, custom, faces, utensils and food of Scriptural times are here precisely an they were kuowu In oriental cities 2,000 years ago.

Taking your stand midway between the harbor aide and the Moc-d«-l!arrn, study with mo theae strange and visriisi t idea of human travel cru\vdlug In either direction. Tbla group comprises a half dozen. Mo- aabites. They are Syrians by descent, and are bellevisl to be identical in race with thi Scriptural Monbltes. They are the tlercest money makers of Morocco, ami are but- ' era, grocers, bakers -anything fur rich Their greed Is prompted by n curious a bition. That Ui to gain ludeiwmlcnce and return to their homes at IlaiumaditChehka, a little oasis surrounded hy lofty rocks In the most arid and burning portion.of ecu- tral Sahara. TosomSliiue return rich to Hamramta Cliebka the aaosstUtS will m and starve half a lifetime, Yuu cannot mistake him in Tangier, fie Is darker than the Arab; not HO black as ihe negro; his akin has the eof ciiotln sppsai oiling; he Wears a white turban, but Is J Other Hi ehleily distinguished In dress because of fruits, orange hi

' feet.1 A few bave the red t^boosh with blue and black tassel, betokening that the wearers are Tunisian Jews.

The women tn their company gave an ex% eellent example hot only of the beauty of the female members of this race aa they are found near and In the orient, but also of the costumes of the hotter class of these la Tangier. Ismig. straight, gowns, without drapery and of-the Trcbest silk, green, orange or purple, encircled at the waist by Cords of silk, gold and silk, or chains of pure gold, constitute the sole outer garment, strikingly different from tbe Arab woman's. Their feet are incased in colored pointed allppera. Each woman wears a black silk scarf, hound tightly across the forehead, gathered closely over the head, falling In delicate folds behind, held In place at the back by great gold or jeweled ornaments. This, with a plain band of spotless white linen drawn tightly across the chin, and a tuaguill&iiut India ahawl earried upon tbe arm or thrown oaxelesaly across the shoulders completes the costume of these the most stately and beautiful women of Tangier.

Besides these there wilt troop by you hundreds of the BUkris—the scavengers, water carriers and men of all work of Tan- gier—bare and shaven beaded, line featured ami with splendid form and muscular de-

■lopment, Impish little bootblack* of ■ mgrel race, who who will perform any

ttiiitilcric, from blacking anil shilling their own faces to plumping aa eye out and Into its socket, for but one copper ft u for each exhibition, are dancing about you. Snake charmers. With hideous oohra de capeUos wound about their filthy bodies, will pass you.

Necromancers who really eat (Ire are as common In the streets as are those who do not at mir summer resorts and nickel shocker muaeuma. Moorish soldiers, bare- |M legged and barefooted, and ever on the! trot, skurry past you. Half grown negroes from the Soudau, with scant hreecholotbs of mit aimed hides for ruitnent, are there. Venerable Ulfajis, apathetic aa opium eaters and withered as mummies, pass trem- blingly by; while genuine Bedouins, on Skinny steeds magnificently* capariaoued, each humping beneath a wondroua bur noose, dash recklessly through the crowds.

And still there ore trains of donkeya and of camels laden with merchandise for far Berber villages and farther oases of tbe desert; women with servants In whose bas- kets are fowls for beheading at the revolt- ing "Negress Sacrifices,*' hundreds of Kha- bylee with leather aprons and ehaveu heads, their strong wives, unveiled, wltb long chemises reaching to their feet and girdled at the waist with bright sashes, who work with their hualxtnds everywhere and anywhere, provide an ample study of African bill men; while thousands of the native Arab and Moorish men'and women sweep .hy with swish of robes and Jingling jewels' and anklets, like weird and softly musical wraiths In white. Some of these are plodding toward khouba or marabout to mourn beside their dead or are gliding from borne or shop to shadowy mosque to pray.

All architectural beauty Is found In carved Moresqiio archways, among which' are many magnificent specimens; In bases and capital* of spiral stone pillars sup- porting arches, vaulting over which super struct tires often shut out the sky, and these are lu the pure Arab style of 1,000 years ago; about the facades and fonts ol num- berless fountains set In cool alcoves, projecting unexpectedly from blank walls or bnflt upright from tbe center of tiny squares, the onlji places in all this ancient city where sunlight ever reaches I he earth; and Isiliind the massive wulls In interiors. Whose structural grace ami exijiilsite or- namentation are an endless feast of art ist lo delight.

The sh.i[»> of Tangier are all merely tiny nieiies lu the walls. The Moorish merchant enters his little black den through a trap- door, lowers the -.but hi H hieb falls often in steps Ui the street ami sits in the center Of his possessions, which are all within reach, voiceless and grave the day long like a forsaken Punch In a pantomime. Kvery manner of a shop La Just like his. In aome workmen are embroidering tbe white buruoose, utilising their great Lo bold tight the disengaged thread. In others greasy fritters are fried lu a solemn and si aiely manner while one waits. Some*dl*> ?lay ostrich eggs and native ornaments,

In others almost priceless oriental drapcrl"" "-" packed and- bunched around , mercbaut who smokes and dreams ss ,, no thought of traffic ever entered his I .ad.

The ancient and venerable letter and scroll writer has his niche or chair at archway side, and waits with that stole patience only an Indian ur a Moslem can commaud, to Indite epistle or trace snored passage from tbe Koran upon eggshell, or on ribbon fur sonic devout one's amulet. Shoe- makers suunt cross legged, sewing and hammering upon slippers and sandals, only.

The hyppphosphites of lime and soda combised with cod-liver oil in Scott's Emul- sion improve the appetite, promote digestion, and increase the weight, r

They are thought by some to be food ; hut this is -not proved. They are tonics; this is admitted by all.

Cod-liver oil is mainly $ food, but also a tonic.

In Scott's Emulsion the t«d-liver oil and hypophos- phites are so combined as to get the full advantage of both.

During tbe month of Jinuary of thU

■i-|.iitt>!.' manner. F.ntnot AI.VKHTINEII:—An error or two jt

which incurred in the article of last week's l

Issue, induces me to make additional cxplana- ihe subject of a different method of

movement of troops, nihro particuiaij.T that of Inlantiy. As Ihe plan tiiggested applies- totlila .branch ofJJie seivlcc mine Hutu others, tliongb I can «tc Uo good reason why il may not include cavalry as well. The article states:

This is done under what msy be called, movement by 'right' of regiments.' "To the uninitiated this would give very in-

dcrhittc ideas as to what and how ibe movement was made; by tbo experienced soldier tt might perhaps lie letter understood. To make more dear Ihe matter-il should lie called: "Movement by 'wings' uf regiments", ar.d so it was written, but tbe types made ihe error br using ibe word "ilglil" instead of "wings." And :n the name of the authoi of different tac> tics, that of "ilardec" is made to stand as Harden -not very Important perhaps—only to tbe old soldier, who at the commencement of the recent war drilled by those tactics and afterwards by Casey's, it sounds a lillle Itrange— the latter being substituted because "llaniee formerly an honored officer in the I'uittil Stales service and tho author or ihe "llflrdee s" tactics, then the recognised authority had turned reticl and was in the ranks of tbe enemy. And so a now svslem bv "Casey" was substituted, to 1>e again set aside by ''fjntonj", all or which leads me to say, that tbe volumes de- scribing the different evolutions, requires very studious application liy 'bo officer to become acquainted with, and is oftentimes a mystery to ihe enlisted man, who tinds himself Intsr- uiinalilv driller, and hardly knows the why or wherefore. Knowing that the method printed out in the previous article, contains elements of great nseruJr.es*, and that there is uo netter system for tin- movement of troops than that or "movement by wingf of regiments," 1 have Ukon tbexipi-ortunliy to repeat, 'that it contains all tbat is essential for active practical service. No other method ever devised can bring troops so quickly inlo position to meet the enemy either iu front or jlank, than it. It is well adapted to the batailion and brigade also. It is not a holiday method, designed for parade, but for tbe stem realities of actual war, where, as all experienced teaches, mote men go down to death by the hardships of overwork. tiet*sMatedfjf unneceBsary drill, of the present methods, than by tbe bullets o( the enemy.

Example:—Of—"Movements by wings of regiments", the regiment being drawn up in line of bailie, il is devised to taks position farther in advance. To do Ibis, only one order is necessary. Tbe officer in command gives: "Movement m right ranks." Tho color guard stands fast; the two wings Immediately face inwardly and at the word "march", the guard moves on, tbe regiment following In the rlyht ranks.

When the position indicated at which it is desired to form line of battle Is reschtd the guard is halted and tho wings movo forward by Hie Into line. When marching, and It Is <b- sired to change front to the tight, the right wins; baits aud faces; the left w lng moves forward on tbe rbrbt by lite into line, aud the movements aio made at tbo required speed; dluble quick when necessary. So loo, tho regiment can chance front to tbs left; the k-:t wing Is halted a '"" the left tiy rile ii

All this is very simple in operation and easily understood by every olllcer nod man who knows exactly just what io do, which Is a good deal, orteuiuues; more than is known by. the old Btyle methods,—especially In face of ibe.cnciny, when promptness and celerity of action Is needed.

The aijiivj will enable the reader to gain some idea or the plan suggested of "movement by wings of regiments:"

In tbo vast Sierra wildprneRs far to tlio Bpntbward of tho famous VoHomito vnl- tey there is a yet grttutlcr valley of tho pitino kind. It is situated on tlioBonth Fork of King's river, above tho most ex- trtif-ivo groves un.l forests of tho giant :,iinoi;i an<l beneath the shadows of th» highest rhouutaitm- in thp riuigp, where the canyons are tleenest and tho snow lailen peiikn are crowded rumt cl"-"-lj together. It ia called the Big KingV Rtver cauyon or King's River Yosiiniie, iiml u reaclinl by way of Visalbi, Uw nearest point on thu Southern Pacific ruilroml, from which the dratsVOOB is about forty-fivo milex, or by tho Kear- sarge jiass from tho cost Mile of tli ■ range.

I went there at t*io, invitation of the committee who are to manage the Actors' Fair, which la to take place lo tbe spring, and which It is hoped will make a deal of money, ao that tbe or^hanaê may be bollt and a good lot of ducats dropped In the treasury of the Actors' Fond. Yon aee It wss thu Chicago meo who were smart enough to offer tbeir moat beauilfot rooms and a lovely luncheon to aboot live hun- drad women. We were Invited to "King Charles Hoom," and when I got there I put my hand to my head and wondered if we had gone back a couple of cenlutlea. There, In faataatlc dresa, by tbe tea table was a dark coraplexloned being, who might have been tbe page of any of tbe ladles at tbe court of Charles tbe Sec- ond ; tbe room Itself haa the walls decorated afler tbe atyle of that day, and the colors employed are those deep, rich onea peculiar in tne era.

so delicate a fabnc that no white far gets so easily soiled. Very few people know how to clean white furs, and it may therefore be of interest to Kew York elegantes to learn tin method recommended to me a few yearn ag6 by the famous St Petereborg farrier, Paul Cn- baeoa. Tbo furs must first be washed with tallow soap and lukewarm water, and then rinsed with a weak solution of crystals of soda, all the soapsuds being removed from the fur with a hard brush. Should there be dark stains, such as are u>ad« by carriage grease or other fat substances, on the fur, it will be necessary to rub them with benzine ajfew hours before washing It.

It sometimes happens that in spite of this treatment tha furs retain a yellow- ish hne; this can, however, be removed by bleaching them in the fallowing manner: While still damp the articles must be immersed in very-cold water in which four pounds of sulphuric acid of natron have beeu diluted. After an hour's soaking four pounds of aalic acid are added to the mixture, which must be well stirred. While the furs are in the fluid the vessel containing them should be tightly covered so as to ex- clude the action of the air on the acids. Lastly, the furs must be rinsed several time* with pure cold water.—Harper's Bazar.

A NIGHT OF DEATH. It was a disagreeable night. A sharp,

cutting wind had set In early in the evening, and continued with unabated vigor all the uigbt A drizzle, half rain and hub! snow, set in with it, and oat the face of the unlucky pedestrian like so much bail

At the club we huddled around the ores and, warm, though the rooms were, shivered uncomfortably every time 0 strong gust would send the sleet driving against tho window panes.

"Ugh!" said the colonel, looking at me under his heavy eyebrows, and grasping the lapels of his coat he pulled them together as though to shut out the un- pleasant feeling that seemed to prevail in the air.

1 shivered sympathetically. "A bad night," muttered the colonel

laconically, and he drew his cnaiT closer to the fireplace.

"It might be worse," he said, with an attempt at cheerfulness; but It fell flat.

It was near midnight, and Colonel Mont fort and I had just returned from the theater to enjoy a moment's warmth in the clubroom. We had it almost to ourselves.for tho night did not encourago late wanderings.

1 rose to i my feet and stretched my arms and legs.

"Hone.-" inquired the colonel looking at bis watch.

"Just as well," I said with a shrug of my shoulders; the gloom and dismal- ness of the weather seemed to have settled everywhere.

Colonel Montfort and 1 enjoyed a suite of rooms in one.of the best flats in St. Paul, and led a nearly ideal exiat- tence for two auch old bachelors at we were.

The colonel was an old southern man, and had seen service in the "Brothers' war." He had earned his rank by val- iant and distinguished service for the Union forces. He was a tall, well built man, with a commanding presence, and although past the middle age carried his years well.

I, on the other hand, although snugly put together and possessed of unusual .endurance, was1 greatly his inferior in point of physique, and our friends at the club were wont to allodo to us as "David and Goliath."

"That comparison is unjust," the colonel said one day laughingly, "for 1 am sure neither of us desires the other's death."

And we did not think then that one ever would.

"And it is extremely doubtful that this David will ever inflict a death wound to this Goliath," interposed a friend. •-

We laughed at the idea. But the colonel rose with a yawn, and

agaiu looking at his watch donned nil wraps, and wo went out into the slippery streets.

"Not a beastly cab in eight,'' grum- bled my friend, as we peered about "And on such a night too!" be added, with a grimace! i

So we had to make the beet of it, and trudged slowly home through the Blush. The rain poured and beat upon us, and the wind swirled pitilessly about our muffled beads.

"Ugh," said tho colonel1 with a shake. And "Ugh!" repeated 1. But 1 could

not shake i.if tho depression that had settled upon mo with the sleet; and a foreboding of evil took possession of me that 1 tried in vain to dispel.

I was ] IO.-.-I '.--..-d of very sensitive nerve... and this combined with the life 1 led and the influences that had surrounded me ■TOM my birth made me a coward in some things. And never did 1 feel such an uudeflnable dread, and never wero my Benses so quick to^make mountains out of molehills as at the times when my spirits were depressed and my nerves made jangling by unto- ward weather. 1 was veritably a coward in the dark.

Usually when 1 got in a well lighted and heated room I could shake this depression off; but not so tonight.

"You look excited, my dear Kane," ■aid the colonel as we flung ourselves in easy chairs ami stirred up the fire. I rose and went to the looking glass in one end of the room and started back ■hocked as I'caught sight of my face.

It was tilled with a tense, suppressed excitement that 1 had never seen there before—hair actually appeared like bristles upon my head, and under my ■yes were Urge, dark rings.

After my first start, 1' laughed somewhat awkwardly I. am afraid, and told the colonel that I bad evidently been ilissipitting too heavily of bite.

He smiled absently and kept staring Into the tire.

"W.lt. 1 guess 111 go to bed," I said after a pause.

Tho colonel nodded without looking up. and biddiug him good night I left the . "/.y.sitting room and made preparations for repose,

The . . ■!■ -I.- I un-t 1 occupied separate sleeping apartments, an our suite was large, itsiug the remaining rooms together.

For one thing, I dreamed that the last day-had come, and that I with countless others had liiirried.towunt a large, snow capped mountain.

I And alone I reached the top. And a feeling of indescribable ease and peace came over me, and 1 laid myself down in the cold, white snow aad fell asleep.

-Bow long I slept In the crystal snow know not For there, too, I had a dream. I saw two forms approach. One all white and pure, with peace and good will beaming from his eyes; the other black as night, and from his eyes gleamed forth the fires of hell.

The fair one looked at me Bleeping, with a world of agony and sorrow In his eyes; then turned his head toward the sky and looked up in supplication, while great tears fell from his eyes and onto the cold snow. And wherever a tear fell sweet flower* sprang up, and the fragrance that was wafted from them was not of earth.

But the other form approached me until it stood at my very side, looking down at me with burning eyes. I strove to move, to shriek, to pray, bnt all in rain.

Then I saw him stoop and stretch out his hand. It hung over my face an instant, then fell npon my forehead.

Then a greet pain racked all my body and spirit and at the instant 1 heard countless voices gixe a cry that boomed out from the mountain top and was heard over all tho earth. And this was what they said, and the words still ring in my ears and never leave me while life lasts; 0

I did not faint If 1 had, I would not now be alive to tell the tale. For that! clammy, burning hand had moved down my face until it reached my throat, and the gleaming eyes shifted and turned and moved with the baud.

Then with an all powerful effort, with a strength that was not mine, I clutched the hand and flung it from me and leaped ont of the bed.

To reach the door and dart into the sitting room was the work of an instant. 1 turned even as I ran and saw those burning byes follow.

'Colonel!" I cried hoarsely and scarce louder than a child. And as the dread thing approached 1 ran to his room. But, oh, Oodl tbe door was open, the room empty. And turning again, with the despair of death upon my brow, I

those burning eyes again. They were the eyes of a madman, and1 the face approached until the hot breath biased into my ears.

And the face was that of Colonel Montfort

e • • a a • What happened then I do not know.

It is s year and over since that dread night, and 1 am stall an invalid. They say 1 am mad at times, but what wonder! My nerves are shattered, my life ruined. Never can I efface one incident of that night from my seared memory, and even at night it haunts me in dreams.

That morning, go they say, they found the colonel and myself lying on the floor In his bedroom, the colonel with a knife In his heart and 1 lying by his side with my hand still clutching the handle of the knife. I was delirious for months, and from my ravings they gathered the ■tory. I suppose now that in that moment of supreme agony snd despair 1 grasped a knife which the colonel always had in his room, and to save myself killed him.

And in the colonel's will it was found that he bad left his all to "my friend"— the man that killed him.—A, H. Feder- mann in St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Where Woman Has tha Advastaa-e. Whatever disadvantages a woman

lawyer may be under in the practice of her proiear.i'.n, she bus certain cotnpen- Wtjng advautaLj-w which her brothers at the bar can neyer Ôjoy. A little incident In the chain Urs part of "the supreme court the other day will illustrate this point. It was Monday, which is always the busiest day _ .f the week in this branch of the court. There was an unusually long calendar this day, and al-

though it was almost l o'clock the courtroom was still crowded with fifty or sixty lawyors, who hod been waiting im- patiently since 11 o'clock to arûe. their motions or to ;;.-t "ex parte" orders- signed. There was on unusually large pile of these orders on the judge's desk waiting to I-- signed, because his honor had been so busy that he bad been unable to attend to them.

A modeat looking, neatly dressed yonng woman came into the courtroom with some legal papers in her hand. She walked up to the rail, wbile_the clerk quickly came forward, all attention. He took the papers which she carried and handed them to the judge immediately, while tho court officers hustled around and brdnght her a chair. The argument* of the legal lights were stopped, his honor took the papers, glanced over them quickly and pat some hieroglyphics, which stood for bis signature,, ut thu bottom of them, the clerk handed the documents back to tbe yonng woman, und in less than five minutes after ahe entered the courtroom the woman lawyer had accomplished her object and gone back to her office.

Just as she was disappearing through the door a lawyer'B clerk came up to tbe rail.-

"Has the judge signed that order which I handed up this morning?" he asked.

"No," was the teply, "he will not sign any orders before a or 3 o'clock."—New York Tribune.

Kduratlon In Switzerland. The system of education in practice

among the Swiss is eulightened and far reaching. Not only are pupils under a strict and kindly discipline while at school, bnt they are also made to feel that the warning and prjtocting care of their tutors is over them whenever they are outside the fuhcr's house. As soon as the child is in the street he has passed from the circle of his home, and that moment begins the school's authority.

Regulations, printed on slips and dropped in every house, contain, among a score of othen equally sensible, tbe following rule relating to outdoor manners:

"Delay of any kind between the scholar's home and school is not si lowed. No whooping, yelling, throwing stones and snowballs, tossing children or ridiculing age and deformity can be endured (irown persons shall be met with civility as they pass. Thus shall honor lie reflected on the School."

Once in the classroom the pupil is taught deportment as well as his three "It's." He is told how to walk, stand anil speak, and a bint upon his book and njuiudiisj oiijiis (see -an regarded as equally bad, —.Youth's tSmpsnionT,~"""

Two lllrthdara. There are two Brooklyn women, warm

friends, whose ai(es are the same, their birthdays even falling upon the same day. They had passed thirty and wore not yet forty, and one of them hod made np her mind that she never would bo forty. At last came the fortieth birthday. Mrs. Brown railed up her friend, Urs, BenneU, and said over the telephone wire, "Tliis i-. my birthday."

"I know it," was the reply. "I con- grafulato you with.nil my heart. Bythe way, it's my birthday too."

"Yes, of course. Say, Uxxie, how old are your"

A cattle funeral raajr seem1 an odd thing to writ** nbout, .bnt tt la ten times more sad to witness. If the observer happens to be on foot in t lie vicinity of tbe scene of the ceremony, however, he

j is apt to find it anything but odd, unless there be a tree or some other plsos of i refuge convenient, or the curious onlook- er l*o unusually fleet of foot

Bnt donbtloss the average reader does not know what a cattle funeral Is like, and perhaps is not inclined to give credit to the possible existence of such a thing. If he has never lived in a locality where cattle of a more or less untamed disposition are wont to range, he will certainly never have had aq opportunity to learn by observation any of the peculiar and notable facts conn ted with this remarkable phenomenon of the range.

A entitle funeral, then, is nothing more or less than exactly what tho words seem to indicate—a ceremony of morning over tho untimely fate of a departed herd- nmtc, in which every individual member of the band that is within long range ear or note shot is bound to participate. In detail thin ceremony consists of a sort of walk around, accompanied with the must doleful, ear piercing and heart reudiug moans, shrieks and bellowings au'l varied by ponderous pawings lit the ground and the most Bingularly dexterous mngings of the resultant dnst npon the backs of the four footed morners. - To observe or participate in Seattle ftmoral let the curious minded go out upou the range, select some spot which* is open and affords no obstruction to the view, and from which no "critter" is In right.

riaving selected such a spot, let one of tho "critters" be brought quietly and se- cretly from a distance, and withont un- due ostentation, as becomes poachers upon another man's range, let him be done to death. Let the offal be Kecreted where even the coyotes cannot find it, and let the hide and tiesh be carried carefully away. Then let earth be thrown on the blood stains tohideeil truoes of disturbance, ond let this all be done so well that even the human eye can detect nothing that would reveal what bitd been done.

TUB LEADER B.NtTPS IIIK WINO. Then let tbe twenty-four hours, or

even less, puss, unless indeed there he cattle within a mile or less at the time of the slaughter. But for the purpose of illustration suppose that twenty-four hours have elapsed.

Then suppose a lot of one or two hundred hood of cattle come1 drifting down over the range to the leeward of the spot where the slaughter of the day previous occurred. The leader of the herd may be two or three milt-*, perhaps farther, from the scene of blood. Snd- deuly he commences to show signs of uneasiness. Though the grass be deep and ,.lu~uriaut ho only feeds a few moments coiieattfionsly, lifting his head and tossing his horns as if on I.-IIP-UIy was near. / ' ;

Suddenly there/ is a strong puff of wind, and as th/ nostrils of the leader inhale the air a Itransformation oconrs like a Hash off lightning. Ho halts, throws his BVTSU- into the air and then emits a most/ unearthly, prolonged, weird, moaning shriek or bellow. It is like none of the various noises made upon other occasions, but has a tone that is all its own and which is evidently well understood by the entire herd.

With another shriek, which can be heard for a mile and even further, the leader breaks into a run, with his tail in the air and with his head shaking angrily 11' .in side to side, followed by all the nifi!ii.: rs of the beraS eatii adding to the volume of sound that now Mils the Air. 'As other animals feeding quietly eta distance hear the peculiar sounds they, too, prick up their ears, then with answering shrieks they gallop wildly toward the excited, band and join it in put nit of tbe leuder.

A TERRIFIC SCENE. That animal quickly arrives at the

telltale siMtt! lie snulfsat the ground, meanwhile lashing hi> îdes with his toil and bellowing continually in a manner that suggests the height of rage. His eyes Hash wildly, the froth drops from his jaws and Heck- bis neck and body. Ho pawn the ground angrily with his hoofs, and by dexterous twisting man- ages to cast great masses of tbe earth into the air and upon his back.

The others come racing up and crowd closely about tbe spot where their mate was slain. An inner circle is formed by the excited animals, with their heads all pointing to a common center, and these bellow and paw the ground and race around and around until exhausted. Meanwhile the others are circling rapidly about the central cluster and finally displace tlie earlier arrivals, whereupon they too go through the same performance.

The scene is a terrific one. Horns are clashed against horns, the bellowing of the ungry animals is deafening, the ail is tilled with dust, (he beasts seem actuated each by sumo particular malevo- lent spirit, and I heir-action- appear prompted almost by human understanding.

Occasionally the scene of bloodshed will be discovered by some wandering "critter" who has that portion of the range to himself temporarily.. There may be no other cattle within two or three miles, yet tbe lone mourner will continence the procedure already de* [scribed, and within a quarter or half an hour he-will havo beeu joined by others, while inside of an hour there will be a dense mass of excited cattle on the spot, and from the range in every direction others will bo seen hurrying to the scene.

Altogether a cattle funeral is one of tbe oddest and most interesting sights that can be witnessed—by a man np m tree.—8an Francisco Chronicle

EVEN Gen.1 Butler, the great advocate of fiat money, is opposed to tho free silver Idea". |

TiiLiti: are rods la pickle for more of the endowments, and some pretty loud talking supremes, whose voices have been heard in Lawrence, will need to come Into court and answer to certificate holders whose eyes are being opened.

WIIILK the free trade democrats axe crying for revision of the tariff and pre- paring as Mr, Springer proposes, bills attacking It piece-meal, from almost every manufacturing industry in New England comes the most glowing reports of prosperity, of a rush of orders, enlargement of manufactories and large success; this ia but the first year of the McKinlev hilt, but the record of prosperity under its provisions is almost un- equalled.

.THE FACT ia recalled that Mr. John A. McCall, who has just been promoted from the comptrollership of the Equitable to be president of the New York Life insurance company was the firm supporter of Commissioner Mer- rill in bis controversy two years ago with Mr. Beers, who has just retired from that company. It looks oa if the insurance commissioner waa biing pretty handsomely vindicated just at the present time.

RECEIVER FAY, of the Bay State League, makes a report to the court in which he scorches the fraudulent transactions of the supreme*, and lets some light in upon the story of their rascalities; Mr. Fay has succeeded in compelling two of the former officers to disgorge fifty-five thousand dollars of their stealing*. Tho report is decidedly nteresling reading for the deluded peo-

ple who entrusted their funds to the rascals who conducted these gambling schemes.

ONE OBJECTION to the proposition to increase tbe salary of the governor Is that Bucb a course will not increase the ability of tho men who will be chosen, and that this has been true in tbe case of the presidency since the salary was doubled. True enough; there would be no lack of able men to seek presidency or governorship, if no salary was attached to either position; hut the nation desires, Massachusetts should desire, to pay its chief magistrate n. sufficient salary to enable him to maintain the position decently if not generously, and ten thousand dollars is little enough for the governor of Massachusetts.

THE SIDEWALKS are in the worst condition we remember to have seen there has' been very generally no effort to remove the mass which became com- pacted from the feet of pedestrians and then solidified in the succeeding cold, and tbe walks are many of them in a condition of uncvennesa which IB a constant source of peril especially in the evening; the city will be fortuuate if it escapes the cost of a number of broken limbs. True, the snow came in such a damp condition, so quickly succeeded by cold, as to make thoroughly clean sidewalks almost impossible, but there is no excuse for permitting ridges four or five inches high to remain in tbe middle of any walk, for pedestrians to stumble over, and tho police ought to enforce the ordinances at least to this extent.

GOOD ADVICE is tendered tbe honest money men in congress without regard to politics, by the Boston Record; ft might bo pleasant to put the democrats "In a hole" by the refusal of tbe republicans to vote, permitting the democratic party to right out and settle their differences of oplulon, aud tbe ;u\u silver nun in the latter would deserve their fate for the company they are in; but republicans should put the interests of tbe country above questions of parti- zan advantage, no matter what tho temptation, and vote solidly against the free silver heresy; the people will not fail to observe which political party is the moBt deeply tainted with the perni- cious doctrine.

CHASING A FIRE.

How a Lawrence Insurance Man

lWaa Fooled.

Saturday evening more than one Law-

aurora in the northern sky.

One HtUa Incident which happened within the notice of an AUKSUCAM scribe

Is well werth publlcrllon. An uptown Insurance man la tbe victim

and In ihei future he will not chase s Are

Why hsve'at yon seen It. Come out

snee to r ach the sidewalk and observe the lurid reflection in tbe sky- He took

bat fane glance, and waa then well satisfied

that a lire of some great magnitude was

going on In the nesr vicinity of tbe city.

His attempts to raise Methnen or Salem, N. 1L, by telephone, were unavailing.

the wires, consequently bis sleigh was

Hetbnen waa reached but atllt the "lira'1

was some distance off. "I guess It's In

we might just ss well go to 11."

Tbe Whip was taken in band and tbe steed given to understand that tbe fire

mast be reached at any cost. Farm bouses, barns, and telegraph

poles wera passed and left far behind but still the fire seemed aa far off sa ever.

How far Mr. Insurance would have gone,

had not nature Intervened, 'tis Impossible

to tell. As It was the lurid sky shitted

while tbe Lawrence men were nearlog Pelbam Centre, and a "native" called the

NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.

HuffKeetiouH Offered the Public

Property Committee.

The committee on pnbllc property held

a meeting Saturday afternoon. Mayor Doe ID the chair.

Among the business which came before the committee for consideration was ^tbe

matter of erecting tbe proposed school

bouse In ward one. School ,Committee- man James C. Cromble waa present and

offered several suggestions relative to

tbe erection of tbe school. He favored

tbe Idea of constructing a building larger

than the present time demanded and to

(lui.-fa aa much room as waa needed now, and to gradually finish th<i remainder as

tbe number of pupils increased and more

accommodations required. Mr Cromble also thought It advisable to so locate tbe

building npon the lot that, when tbe en-

tire building should be In use and room needed for tbe accommodation of others,

wings mtgbt be conveniently added. He further as!d that the fchool committee

had learotd through fxperlenca that, the

school buildings thus far erected wera luadi quatt! for ihe accommodation of all

pupils as the number Increased from

year to jesr and were so constructed that tbey could not be easily enlarged.

He called attention to the growth of

ward one, and stated that It wou'd be still more rapid In the years to come. In

his opinion, If <be bolldlng should be constructed according to tbe plans sug-

gested It would be a matter of economy

and foresight, ss provisions would be

made for the future which would not necessltste so additional "outlay "of any

great amount now. Superintendent of pnbllc property Bai-

lersbtll favored Mr. Cromble'* Ideas,

which be stated were practicable.

No definite actlen was taken by the

committee Saturday. ...

And I am glad of it, glad that Sir George Kooke, in the War of Succession, was cunulng ami brayeenough to take ft; that Iron hearted FUllott, In the Four Years' Siege, waa soldier enough to bold It against the combined efforts of EYanco AudSpaln, ami that all the powers of Latin and Mnasulman'anns and diplomacy, with the cowardly machinations of Kaglleh traitors at fanme. have never availed to bond over this key of the whole Levant to Spanish or uthnr.poaseeslon or retrogression, l>ccause:

J ust so long as Knglnnd holds Gibraltar the trade of tbe Mediterranean and tho Kastla peacefully open not only to Kng- lnnd, but to every nation of tbe earth with spirit enough to compete for it, and North America, whose English speaking mud thinking people now twice outnumber those of the motherland, In common with Great Britain, In trade, In travel and in nil those things tending toward the world's eollgbteumeut and progress, will enjoy through England's aoggwl possession of Gibraltar a common guarantee of se euiity aud respect. I

Differ as grievously as Americans may with Kngllshmen regarding the justice or Injustice of this or that, on these large llnoaof tremendous Import we cannot but remain one and Indissoluble. looking out of the history of tbe centuries that were, and from among the possibilities of tbe centuries U) come, tbe mighty rock and its armament fade* from slgbt as a mere stub bornly bold poaseK*Ion and menace. Its mythic name, the Pillar of Herculca, merges into the Pillar of Peace. Aud Gib- raltar In the possession of tho Kngllsh speaking and Christian living race will remain the hostage of Christian civilisation for all time to come.

All one's precoucelved notlous of Gibral- tar fall fur short, 1 think, of conveying Its truegrantleur and Impress!venesa. Prom whatever direction you approach It—from the westward over the Atlantic, from the Mediterranean on tbe east, from Tangier tn Africa across tho stnti.t, or from tho !4pnuisn sierras to the north—It baa al- tvnys theasenilng of a majestic mountain if stone rising sheer out of tho blue of he sea. Aa we approached it, some

irfrHgicllng clouds which bad formed among tbe peaJts of tho Spanish sierras, carried by northern'winds, were stretched

thin folds across lu upper heights. Tbey gave tbe huge rock alternate bars of ebony shadow and golden light, and nhnt- tfng its top altogether from sight em- phasized the Impression of a mysterious nlti tilde,

Kven when one has landed, tbe easiest ult.iirof lu kind In nil Europe, as Gibral- tar Is a free port, thla lniprt-»*ion is not dispelled. The white city, uj pile or huddled terraces at the water's edge at the nil Npot on all Gibraltar where hablta- IUIIH could be patched like nests of birds

upon iu ragged aides, Is but a thin lino of human resort upon and above tho shore. Wherever the eye rwts Is son beneath and rock above; not very precipitous ou tbe city side, yet rising in escarped height on height, until oue feela certalu that Inacces- sible heights are shut from sight beyond.

My own Ant Impulse, aa I Ixilteve must be that of all first visitor* here, wua to mount lu utmost crag and study IU topog- raphy tvitli my own eyes, while feasting

Tu the matchless panorama tblaafTord- lu two hours' I line, Including the dig-

nified delay required in tho Issuance of a permit by the 'military secretary, In Gnn-

'a Lane, I stood alongside tho signal lower, I'A llaclto from which. It is said, with a powerful gin** tho Hay of Iliscay can be seen, while tbe vulley in which is bulk the capital of Morocco, tbe city of r'vi, Is plainly discerned.

Impregnable Gibraltar upon which one now stands Is tbeoutjuttlng promontory of a long, narrow strip of laud and rock, forming apenlnsulaon the eastern shore of tbe Bay of Gtliritltur, or Algeciras, as it is sometime* culled. ThelaLWr Is ahnped like a horseshoe, open to tho south, lu western shore extremity terminating In CabriU Point. This bay is perhaps eight miles long from north to south, aud five miles broad from cost to wesL Tho penin- sula terminating In the Itock, slo|>es gradually down from the Spanish mountains to the Spanish lines, just north of the ruins of the old Spanish fortifications, and between this and i lie Kock Is what is known as Neutral Ground, a Hut sandy reach a mite and a half in length.

Upon this, close to tho Itock, are the English racecourse, tee drill ground snd the Jewish and .the garrison cemeteries. Tho narrow strip connecting Uibraltar with tho mainland has every appeurunce of Lav Ing been beueath tlio waves at no remote dale, ami tbe Kngllsh have rendered Gib- raltar unassailable by a land force through engineering contrivances by which tho en- tlru strip could lu no Instant bo blown to powder nud covered by the Mco.

At tbo southern end of thla sand covered lied of mines the Itock rises almost perpen ilii-nlarly for over 1,400 feet Many fancy IU contour resembtea n lion cotirliHiit, with ils tif.nl reared aloft to the north nnd toward Spain It Is grand enough without I lie simile, breaking away In lessening onaa to the south ami ugnlu con fronting.. . \fiku with it b-HMer but iMine tlm less In ' 1M

aoreasi of tne Ubl .Mole, mm woll up toe mountainside, which on> the west is less precipitous than elsewhere, stands a liu;;e Moorish tower, just I.J'J) years old, built by the first Moorish Invaders, and the most ancient perfectly preserved relic of Moslem rule In Spain. It Is almost entire lu lu massive strength, though honeycombed by Innumerable cannon bulls, while iUgreat Tower of Homage is now n powder uiaga- sine, and modern barracks aud ofneers' quarters with pleasant gardcus till tbs area within its ancient walls.

To tho south Africa seems but a step across a gleaming pooL To tbe east there la only the vast Mediterranean, dotted with many strange mid curious craft. To the west tho sight ranges over A i-eaut iful and picturesque harbor scene, with every man ner of ship that floats, from the leviathan man-of-war to tbe luUen sailed felucca, In- cluding a half down American schooners and barks with their ahanolv hulls and slender spars, ami rests beyond the waters of tbe bay upou the circling Spanish shore.

There Is Cabrlta Point, darkening grimly agalust a background of flame where tbe

ittlng sun floods the entrance from the Atlantic Around to the northwest Al gvclras ghostlike lifts through the pur pliug pall. To tho north aacoroof villas and villages, pink or white as tbe light and shadows cbangefully play npon them, show, like the ivory beds of a rosary, against ranges of alom aud masses of vlno- yanbe the whole with a background of billowy foothill, dark then bftie, then purple and finally an opaline misty dream where the peaks of the Spanish sierras blend with the far horizon of the north.

All this la what one can see at El llacho Upon tbe heights of Gibraltar; but what wraiths of history, mythic aud real, crowd from the pant upon tho wondrous scenel This spot where you atand.and towering Apes' Hill, across the Strait In Africa, wera the olden Pillars of Hercules. Down beneath you nt Kumpa Point Is the very apot where the dlviuo bull rested from bis flight with Kuropo, to whom the continent owes iU name. Just across tbo Strait, at Cettto, the traitorous Count Julian, out-

from Hoderlck'a licentious Toledo court, llrst betrayed Spain to tbe Moslems. The resultant Invasion under oommaod of Tank Ibn Xeynd, then chief of tho garrison of Tangier, gnvc to the rock the name Gibel-al Turek, mountain uf Turek, cor- rupted lo the Gibraltar of today.

Then for 'TOO years it was a mount of death and glory for 'Spaniard and Misir In their desperate contentions, while tbu treasure nud lives is has oust since first the Cross of St. George wnvcd-atwve it in 1704 would enrich anil people a kingdom. One knows anew with startling clearness the history of Kurope.au and Moslem struggles hi the musings and memories of such a Spot. Hut the sunset gun has belched its flame and thunder inward the red Atlan- tic's breast; the lights twinkle from tbo Spanish villages around tlm-b:iy ami, clr cling to the (nountabie base, bring a rosy glow to dtynojl narrow craft bgaaatfl You Wettl your va) downward to the tee raced town. pa>t briskly moving seutlne!* crisp with duty ami challenges, leaving tbe grim mountain top behind, melodious with bugle notes echoing and re-echoing their songful mimicry uf war from harbor aide to darkened clefts of bleak and serried heights.

If Gibraltar were nut a unique and the most gigantic fortress In tho world, it Would still be a spot of rarest Interest and charm to the traveler. Tbe scenic beauties from any portion of the embattled mountain are not surpassed lu the whole 0,000 miles' reach of the Mediterranean. Two continents nnd three kingdoms arc here withiu cannon shot of wherever you may stand. The rides and drives lute the most luxuriant and fruitful portion of southern Spain, all within a day's Journey, bring within observation and enjoyment every feature of high or low Spanish life which could he studied In a journey from France to Portugal.

And then the rock nnd city of Gibraltar themselves, contrary to prevalent notions, are each lu their way wonderful and winsome studies of still and human lifo. Tho botanist '■■■m find upon tbe sides of this one rock over'000 distinct specie* of vegetable life In flower, shrub, lichen, muss nnd vine. The tiny guldens are ablaze even In winter with gorgeous color and bloom. Par up the heights tbe walled and winding road- ways are bordered with musses of green and blossom.

The washerwomen dry their clothes on hedges of geranium The prickly .pear and cactus grow to enormous sixe. The aloe rears IU central shouts, with lateral brunches, like spears of gigantic aspara- gus. Huge oleanders glow above every terraced garden wall. The night blooming cere'us grows lu splendid luxuriance, resembling mammoth water lilies with delicate nnlhers of gold. Kverywhere wilh leaves of glossy green, flowers of bridal white and fruit of gold, the orange tree, hinting of tropical clituo, Itostowa ii- wel- come shade and delicate scents, wanton in tbe prodigality with which all nature here seems to rival .historic Interest ami grand, surpassing scene.

NEW LIBRARY. Formally Opened to the Pub-

U'HILK not deri'led as to its ultimate

usefulness, the lulministraton of law

seem generally to agree that the new

Lotted sufficiently long for satisfactory

tained another year.

A trunk seized by the customs olllcers

in New York is found to be filled with

is intended to be a practical protest

against the tariff.

I SKYKUAL savings hanks seem to have

been caught, with holdings of Maverick

smaller ones, if an assessment is de-

manded, the lusa will cause n pretty

serious impairment; the small lot held

by the £asex bank of this city will

create no nppieeiable vhriukage in its

handsome surplus.

IT IS a development of the peculiar

character of politics in New York, that

of >4H' oiticial enumerators now eugaged

iu taking the new census, the | name of

not a single oiie has been made public,

but on the other hand, pcrsis'ently kept

country is likely to report thnt while all

of the new guns may possess advan-

with some Improvements be retained in

TIIK SrriiF.MHs, who corac up to.the

legislature this year to ask for new con-

cessions for the endowment concerns,

Wednesday tb« new public library tullil log was opened to the public.

For over a year now, the citizens of Ltwrmco have watched Its handsome

proportions arlsfnar, and maiowhlle the trustees of the Wtlte fund have been

ceaseless In their effjfts to provide the

best and tho most ornsmental. Toda* the building stands, not only as a modern

library, but a.so as an »«1ntertur*+

adornment to the city.

Located at the corner of Hampshire

and Haverhlll streets, opposite the band some stone cbnrcb, St. Mary's, 41 gives

there the handsomest corner la the city,

and adds to the beany of tho neighboring streets.

Tbeeilerlorof the building Is so well

known now that a description Hs unneces-

sary. The building Is constructed of Ue

finest brownstone, and presents a hand-

some appearance. The tower sets off the

two stories to excellent advantage, and the whole gives ta the people of Ltw*

rence, a beautiful, roomy and well lighted

library.

Early Tuesday evening the building wss

ufflcially Inspected by the city govern-

ment. The members were conducted

through the different rooms by James II. Baton. .

The Interior as regards finish and

beauty by no means suffirs In companaon ■lib the outside appaaranea of 'he

lag room to the second story, where the

trustees' room and the lecture hall are located. fc.

The trustees' room opens directly from the hallway at the head of the atalra. It

occupies tbe upper portion of the hexa- gonal tower, as yet thla room Is not fnrn Ubed.

The lecture room le finely adapted to the use to which It Is to be devoted, and

Is 30xUl ftet In dimensions. The cell-

Ing extends to the ridgepole, and Is finished In wood. Four large ash beams ex-

tend across the room at the point where the Inclination of the celling, begins.

These are surmounted by as many semi- circular beams of the same material.

Krom tbe boriz-mtal beams carved tim- bers citent upwards equally dividing

tbe arch formed by the semiclrcula beams. The window and door casings are dnisbed In white wood.

The walls ar i tinted, and e broad

frescoed border Jadds to the (.appearance of the hall. A email raised platform ta

cabinets belonging to the natural history aoclety, and containing the birds and In-

dian relics are m this room, occupying a

position on tbe west side, '

After the tour of Inspection had been

completed the party assembled In tbe

lading room, where several brief ad. dresses were made.

For tbe benefit of those unfamiliar trltb the matter Mr. Raton Slated how the

■Whit- fund" originated. About the

vear l«M there lived In Salem a man b;

the name of Hon. Daniel A. White, who

was a lawyer by profession. A!though a

resident of Salem, he wss '-orn ID a house

, lusted on the land at the corner of Liw-

rence and Hsverblli streets where the

residence of the agent of the Pacific mills now stands. This originally formed

a part of helbuen. Feeling a deep In-

terest In tbe welfare of this city he gave a deed of trust of a certain lot of land to

i; men, i 'imrles Slorrow, Nathaniel O. White, and Henry K. Oliver, with tbe

understanding that the land should be

sold and the proceeds devoted for tbe

malntalnance of a course of lectures

tending to the education of the people of

Law' mce. This land extended from

Ameabury street on both sides of Uaver-

hlU, Bradford and Concord streets west-

erly to Franklin street. Tbe donor slso

suggestod that a lot should be selected

from his gift to be used for the location of a library at sunn fotore Urns. The

intleaW furthered this Idea by reserving

the lot wberoon tbe new library building

now stands. The trustees however had

HORRIBLE^DEATH. Knocking f'aiaiHy Early This

Afternoon.

Russell Paper Mill Employe Caught In an Elevator.

Btrnck by the Descending Oar and iBiUntij Killed.

At eight minutes before 1 o'clock today Martin LOBCO, a middle-aged em- ployee of the Russell Paper mill, met a

horrible death while about to commence hla afternoon's labor at that place.

He was standing on one of the floors of the pulp mill looking down tbe eleva-

tor when be was sir nek by tha elevator

which was rapidly descending.

A son of expollcen-ae Corliss, who was alone on the platform of'the elevs>- tor, did not see LOBCO till bis attertlou

was called to him by another employer.

' 'Twas then too late to avert tbe fatality

»s Loacohsd been crushed headforemoat bet we -n tbe platform snd the sides of tbe elevator well.

Tbe terrlfled boy lost~all presence of

mind when he saw Lorco's, shocking position. He, jumped from the elevator,

iubsca.uent to which other bands pulled

ho rope and allowed tbe platform to rite.

As It did tbe unfortnnstB man's mang-

led remains fell into the bottom of the well.

It took but a few momenta to have the mill officials notified of the accident. At

i.r.-t it was thought that life remained in

the motionless form and the ambulance was at once telephoned for. It wss of

uo use upon Its arrival as Losco bad

some time before passed beyond sll earthly aid.

Medical examiner Howe was summoned but up to tbe time of going to press It

was Impossible to ascertain his findings. Losco was a German by birth and re-

sided with bis family on Prospect street. lie was about 4S years of age.

Ills probable that death was 'oaased

inMtantaneously.as the body wss bsdly crushed. |

Young Corliss, wbo Is but a mere lad, was almost frantic by fright after tbe

accident, aud running madly to bis borne

told the tale of the awful accident to his

parents: Ho than returned with his fstb-

si to the mill and was present when Medical Exauiner HosTTwas Investigat- ing the affair.

H Lefflalatlve Committee

II ICE DE PA KTMENT.

Engineers Want More Apparatus

and More Improvements.

Tbe committee on fire department met

Monday evening to hear some recommendations from the board of engineers.

Tbe entire board. Chief fieal and As- sistants Collins snd limur, appeared be-

fore tbe committee. Chief Deal acted as

spokesman, and stated iho ncu a of the

department, in the order presented they were as follows I

-First—A new wagon for tbe chief, cost about «175.

Second—Two new exercise wagons, coat, about $200 each.

Third—Hose wagon ID South Lawrence, MOO.

Fourth—An addition to, or widening

of the Franklin hook and ladder house, so as to accommodate an ex'.ra bitch.

Fifth-A remodeling of Tiger 3 house by removing the present building to tbe

back of the lot and ihe building of an enlarged front.

Siitb—A ww book and ladder IraoL to cost U>ourt2000.

The members of the committee had

been around amon^ the engine bouses

alely and so they were very well able to

judge of some of the needs. - *-

They clesxly asw that a new hose wagon was needed to South Lawrence, and a new

xerciê wagon at eugibe 2 a house. They

fell too, that ..something should be done oward placing the aerial truck in service.

On the whole, bowever.'they believed the

engineers asked too much.'They favored

allowing the most urgent needs,bul those could not be agreed upon.

Tbe committee felt very anxious to put

both book and ladder trucks In active ser-

vice, but this it seems was not counted

oee of the pressing needs of tbe department by the engineers.

Alderman Bolton favored giving the de-

partment Just what they needed. He took

ihe ground tbst tbe engineers were capa-

ble men, and knew the wan la of tbe de

parlment belter than anyone else. Thus

'hey should be given what they need,

tbove all things, the fire department should not be crippled.

Tbe committee were unable to agree on j'lstwhatio report.'and adjourned for a

few days to think it over.

From Mrs. Henry Ward Beectaer.

OABTER'S BLOCI, MAIN ST..

The legislative committee on adminis-

trative boards and commissions began a

public hearing Wednesday on the order of Representative McAnally ot this city

relative to taking tbe power of grsotlng liquor licenses out of the hands of boards

of aldermen and vesting It in the hands of a commission appointed by the mayor. sir. McAnally aaaerted that In tbla city

there had bean a greet deal of corruption

in tbe leaning of liquor license*, under ihe

present method. Members of the board of aldermen In Lawrence have been Haan-

elally Interested In liquor licenses, snd there have been other abuses.

The appointment of a commission

would take the granting of licenses out

of politics. Comirlaalbners shiuld be ippolnted for three years, tbe term of

one member of tbe board to expire each far. Tbe public service tn Lawrence

has sadly deterloated, owing to tbe bate, ful influences springing from the system of granting licenses.

The cheapest and poorest class of citi-

zens come to tbe irout "In city politics now, the system bringing that class of men to tbe front.

Cipt. Daniel F. Dolan made a spirited

address In favor of tbe order. He drew a picture or the evils now existing It

Lawrence.and his main points were these Tbey were all attributed to the system, of

granting liquor licenses. Last year there were members of the board of aldermen

who made money out of licenses. The

granting of tbo licenses In this city are

controlled by the wholesale liquor dealers. Six of these ,]mcn are worth a million

dollars. That amount of wealth can

exert a great amount of Influence over a

bosrd of aldermen. The liquor dealers

make out a list of ihe names of persons

to whom they wish licenses to be granted

and tbey usually bsve enough power to

compel compliance with their demand. Capt. Dolan thought It would correct the

evil if the granting of licenses were taken

out of the hands of alderm in and placed

lu tbe hands of a commislou ap-

pointed by the mayor. He was not in

favor of a commission to be sppolnUd

by the state, lie believed In elites con- trolling their own local affairs.

The committee alao beard the petition

of W. P. Cherington for such changes In

the laws as will more clearly define and limit the powers and duties of tbo bosrd

of police of the city .of Boston. Tbe

changes asked for by Mr. Cberrlngtoi

are Intended to prohibit tne police com-

mission from declaring licenses forfeited

wben tbe courts fall to convict licensees of s viohuion of the law-

Damped In tbe Ditch. A sleighing party from Lawrence,

ssya the Lowell Times, csaia to Lowell

Monday evening and stopped at the Rich,

ardaon honae. They left for home abjut 11 o'ejock and when a mile ont of the city

the driver, who seemed to hiye improved

tbe opportunity for unlimUel t>>oa-t man-

aged in some way to upset the paasen gera and a M: ire of yuuog men aul girls who were la tbe barge were stood

their beads In the snow in t e ditch. The

driver was toon souered up enough to

gain control over the borses while two

gentlemen in a culler wbo were pausing

by at tho time went to the rescue of the

ladles and soon had tbom on their fu-j again and although tbey were badly

shaken up they had escaped serlou.i inj

ir.-i. The slelgb wei righted and the parfy

were soon on their wav to Lawrence. AI

refused to give thelr-names but volun

leered the Information tbey I were from Lawrence. '

A Methuen sleighing party, composed ein.ii t-iy of mates, acted in the most dls-

g raceful manner possible v bile enroute to Lowell Monday evening. Tbey insulted

ail paaairB-by, hooted aud yelled at ev-

ery house and acted ..more like young

hoodlums than full grown men. An un-

limited (low of vulgar and obscene Inn

g uige imilted frum their sleigh duties the entire trip, much to the disgust of

sll wltbln hearing, and as ibty refused to

aiiojv any Blelgb golr>g ihe same way

pass tbem, the feelings of those In tin ir

wake cankbe better Imagined than dt

scribed. A wholesale srreat pf sucb pub-

lic disturbers would have a wholesome

tfleet, snd teach all like .hoodlums to know their place.

Samples of the water havo been analyzed in the laboratory of Oaba college, with results of peculiar as well as BCfeutiflc interest. The water, which in dry woather deposits salt abundantly, is of course saturated linn*., yet differs essentially from the brine obtained by evaporation to satnra- tion of ordinary sea water. The differ I'licu is strik-ingly shown by merely mix- ing the two clear fluids, when a copious deposit immediately forme of sulphurate of lime, so that the mixture almost liilitii-s. The sea water contains sulphate of magnesia in abundance, lint scarcely any Hme, wnilo the salt lake waters contain chloride of calcium, lime salt, with only a-troce of sulphate.

In composition the water of Alia ap- proaches closely to that of tho Dead sea. The specific gravity of the water, even at a temperature of 60 degs. Fahrenheit, Is 1.250; at standard temperature it would of course be higher. The water of Hi.' Dead sea is considerably lighter, its specific gravity having been found by different observers to range front 1.13 (Lynch) to 1.3400 (Lavoisier). The most remarkable peculiarity of the water is the excessive qunntity of the lime it carries. This should give it pecnllar medical virtues.—Cor. Cincinnati Tinles- Star.

MoDtana Ifipplilraa. The only locality in Montana which

baa been at all prolific of sapphires is the six or seven miles of placer ground between Ruby and Eldorado bars on the Mi---mi river, sixteen miles east of He- lena. Here sapphires are found in gla- cial auriferous gravels while sluicing for gold,and until now have been considered only a by product. Up to the present time they have never been systematically mi ned. In 1880 one company took the option on 4,000 acres of the river banks, and several smaller companies have since been formed with a view of mining for those gems alone or in connection with gold.

The colors of the geroa obtained, although beautiful and interesting, are not tho standard bine or red shades generally demanded by the public. The stones embrace a grout variety of the lighter shades of red, yellow, blue and green. The latter color Is found quite pro- nonnoed, being rather a blue green than an emerald green. Nearly all the stones, wheu finely cut, have an apparent metallic luster which is strikingly peculiar to those from this locality.

No one who has seen Dr. ISrooks with children ia likely to furgtt his "way with them."

came In contact. He was one of the last overseers to be allowed to go, remaining

at his station aotil the final suspension of

operations occurred. After leaving tbs mill Mr. Farnhsm en-

joyed a much needed rest for about a

year and a half and then associated him-

self with his constant companion for

years, Elijah M. Mooers, In tbe dry goods tnd tailoring business, st 16S Esstx

but all tffjrts to stay tne progress of tbe disease proved nnsvslllnir. Toward the

'latter part of July he was taken to bed

snd has since been s patient sufferer, man-

fully batlliux to overcome; that whlcb

wss slowly emllog his life away. Four operations, performed at Inter-

vals during that time failed to have tbe

beneficial results expected, and with these

results all hope for life vanished. Of late, death baa been dally expected, tbe In-

valid's sufferings Increasing day by day.

Friday noon, for the first time, be refused nourishment sud to those st his

end waa near. Toward evening ho be-

[Oopyrtght, UQS by Edgar U Wakemau.) PAI.UA. Majorca, Jan. 37.—In these days

sf strong and swift Btenuters plying between England nnd alt Mediterranean ports, It is but a voyage of two nights and a day from Gibraltar to tbe city of Fauna, the capital of tbe Spanish depenelency and province ot Ralearicn, comprising the Bal- earic islands; or, If you are wintering in southwestern Spain, you may journey Sn a nlgbt from Valencia or BArcelcma to tola leaat visited and most beautiful of all Mediterranean regions.

Your steamer is seldom one of sight of some huge or tiny Mediterranean craft.

il there is always conscionaneas of pleas- t uearuesa to other human Interests and

a quiet and restful sense of coin pan tonship upon Ibis great Ittndlockeal BOB, although It la longer than the At Untie Is broad between Newfoundland and Ireland, I have never known or felt upon other teas. How- ever treacherous the Mediterranean baa been to others, I have never seen its face aave in its blandest, sweetest .mood; when Its skies were fair, the sunshine above It mild and loving, its airs aephyrua and dreamful, and its face aa bine and smiling aa a rift of June day heaven.

Then, too, before the tropic night settles softly upon sea and land like a perfumed, translucent cloud of darkening pearl, there is Hpfend before you aucb a reach of grand and glorious coast lim>—the real "Africa's coral strand" of transcendent beauty, and not the dread coast of the old mlanluoary hymn—aa renders true pictur- ing impossible, the whole changeful panorama of headland, beach, forest, glittering villitge and noble bay, backed along the ragged southern horizon by the eternal neitks of the Atlns heights, which even under tropic suns soar above tbo clouds to tha region of silence*, glumly ami phantoinful with their crowns of snow and Ice.

The very air upon this aea la odorous as with tbymu and balm. The fancy, quick- ened liy tradition and oriental mysticisms, builds wondrous creations surpassing the wildest and most fabulous tales of the "Arabian Nights."

that isofteu wnlrd nnd grotesque

ttvery structure poswesasee iu some portion, and frequently in the moat unexpected position, some wonderful nnd ornate, orna- mentation. Tiby squares with wlmpling fountains arc set In all sorts of odd'corners. A huge.church may tower on the one aide of each of these.

At a corner may stand or project from a curious and seemingly unnecessary wall, a massive carveel facade or gargoyle from which the water Is endlessly flowing. At another aldo a mass of vines and verdssre, capped to the sight by far domes or spires, is only visible. Out Jutting ntanotherspot, the angle of some huge building seems to have pushed Its way half across the plaza, and with Its galleries, balconies and tremendous overreaching'roof is ready to pitch headlong into the open space beneath. While another sunny side shows only a roof of red tiles sloping like a tent cover, mi pierced by a alngle aperture, from an Interminable height wholly to the edge of a stoue, clolaterllko porch beueath.

In all open splices are palm trees And these rising front courts, lifting tholr spreading fronds high above roofs from darkened thoroughfares,often leaning,.like the tower of Pisa, out of quaint old courts, and here and there being preserved by an entire building const rut ted around them, lend a dreamful, mystic, almost lonesome and pathetic coloring to every massing of structures upon which the eye may rest.

ne tbe palm, whether 1 have seen (tin southern Spain, In Sicily, tn Morocco, In Algeria, In Cuba, or here In I'alma, whoso name bad iu origin In tbe former extraordinary number of palm trees upon the island, has always been an emblem ol dolorous Isolation ami Inexpressible loneli-

. It hints of the camel, the Uedoutn, the desert. In art. In story, iu fact, it ever suggests tho endless hopelessness add im- passibility of the harriers between the raoes that subsist upon ami, rest beneath it, and those who know ami Wve tho maple, hooch and oak.

It is a city of steep ascents and 111 paved streeta, but of witching old bits of ourioiia architecture, and perhaps aa lovely and splendid Interiors an any Moorish or semi- Moorish city can show. All the houses retain features of Moorish taste and evidences of meditflvul forms of habitation and living. They ara not higher than three or four stories at best. More have but the ground floor with nn upper one and an attic, called a porcho. Invariably tin! etiti uihin in the Interior ure studies in carved arabesques and fanciful Moorish designs. Balconies are aa universal and as huge or as lacelike and fragile as in Granadn or Seville. A marked peculiarity of all structures Is t heir huge projecting roofs, e-preiid out Into pent bouses and [re qtit'iitjy most fasduntlngly worked out and decorated. And the lowliest homo In all Palma la chnrmiug In Its patio or court

that ioveliest of all interior arrangement ■mi i !■ I which a Me-1 fin or Christian home

can he built. Every one of thr>e courts Is a place of

beauty, sunshine ami song In every one thero Is the melodic Bound of water* from running jetty or fountain. Iu every one, whether glittering with slender mnrble columns and daintily wrought arches, or softened In tones with mossy stone and crumbling tiles, there are waving ferns and flowers. Vines clumber wantonly over entablature, arch and balustrade. The alcobaa of all living in these ubndcs are within the sound of friendly calling vote ' And not one Is without birds of gay plans age and birds with endleHs Bongs. I nrten wonder why tho rich of our own land do not build their homea like these. A dome of glass instead of tbe blue Mediterranean sky is all the change required. Danish the pall-liko hangings nnd withering shadow places from your stuffy homea, ami learn to live in the lifegiving light like tbe l.nt hi and the Moor. Put your great New Kngland fireplaces opposite your arched entrauoea, and make of thcau sunlit open courts places of beauty, lightsomeneaa, melody and homeside joy.

Only when tbe feast and processional days come is Palma a gay and brilliant city. At all other times it is sunny, reBt-

" slumbrous and aim**! *ilent, luistreel folk are the same as of any other southern Spanish city. Thero is greater rontent here. No one is in a hurry. Among the lowly folk there is. less excitability, greater good nature, ami tbo latter is of tbogeu-

nut tbe uproarious sort. Here, as In Madrid, la your leobero or milkman, who,

I.KT1EB (AiCKlKltS BALL.

A Brilliant nnd HiiOMMwful Event

in the City Hall.

The local letter cirri en sco'ed a sue- cets Wednefllsy evening, tbt like of wtfrcb la seldom achieved by toy organisation In this city,

Tba first annual ball of Branch Hi, National Association of Letter Carriers was a gala event and ■ 111 forma bright page la the social history of that branch.

The gathering In nil respects was an eicellent one and leOsete credit upon the members of (he branch, all of whom have worked hard to have II terminate successfully.

There was Indeed a good attendance to greet tho musician* aa tbey took their seits behind the perfect breastwork Of potted plants, ferns and flowers, which so tastefully occupied tbe front of the stage on this occasion. An ovauou was tendered Leader K. T. Collins as his pleasant featniea, were distinguished.

After bowing their acknowledgements t? the audience, the thread of I aslneu wss taken up and soon the delightful strains of Wsgner's march from Taunhe- user floated over the hall. Those who doubted thst Collins' Improved orchestra would reach the summit attained by other bands in this city this year, laid all doubts aside after that first selectlon.ao finely was It rendered. The following was the concert programme arranged for the 00a caalon. Man ii. Iron Ta a a he liter, Uraruire, ttemlraiulue, Serenade, Horn aolo,

Every [selection on the above program w»n-remit ml In excellent style and well earned the hearty applause they received. The musk throughout th J entire evening far exceeded the expectations of all and adds it alimony to the fact that a home orchestra can by proper'burking aid. recognition do as good work as csu out- sider*. Mr, Collins surely has someiblog to feel proud of and the evening's sjysfj Is the best recommendation hh 017s of mmtclans can receive, -

TIIK tiAi.i .

The second part of tho evening'^ festivities wai commenced st just" nine o'clock'by the grand march aud circle.

The march wai made up In the aldermen's room on lb* lower floor suit was most decidedly* pretty one. 1. wis led by Postmaster Lewis O. Holt an<l Miss Maria C. Sullivan, lbs second place of honor being tendered Postmaster Wll.is P. Bur bank of Lowell and Hlu Nellie Dooley of this city. The figures cut by the march were spproprlste ones and were finely executed.

The ladles' toilettes were] very elaborate, many beantlful costume-t being worn which made a good display in the march. The gentlemen did not fall In their duty am) dress stilts were numerous.

The march aud 'circle occupied just half au hour and upon its conclusion dancing was at once inaugurated. With tbe exception of an Intermission at 12.30 o'clock It wss continued until tbe bells rang ont 2 o'clock. Tbe order comprised twenty-two dances loc.udlag fancies and were sufficient to keep the entire party busy throngbout the night.

SVFPKR ANB LUNCH.

During IntermlssloQ the members of the branch escorted tbelr guests aud ladies to the Hotel Brunswick, where a hot turkey supper WU served About 40 ■ on pies sat about the festive board at the hotel and chatted merrllly while tbe goodies were being passed around. Tbe utmost soc^|ptlty prevailed, alt present seemingly being infused with the spirit of the occasion.

Tbe remainder of tbe parly wu cared for at Psge & Go's., where a regular supper, and also lunches were served, and at Tanker's, Pearl's and Finn's cafes, where Ice cream and cake, stews and tbe like were furnished.

i rut oKi o nun IN-.

The dsnee ball wu very tutefnlly decorated and presented a welcoming aspect u the main entrance wu approached. The front of tho galleries wu bidden by lace streamers, .appropriately bung, while here and there on all sides, flags, shields snd bunting were so arranged u to land beauty to the scene. The stage wu the centre of attraction. Potted plants and ferns formed a hedge around the footlights, behind which the orchestra were stationed. A floral oblong tablet ^bearing the Inscription "Branch 212, N. L. C. A." In red and white pinks occupied the outer centre of this hedge and formed a prettyJcontrut with Its background.- On an eule on the right of this tableUresled an excellent crsyon portrait of Postmuter Holt, while directly opposite wu a cluster picture of the araccli. These formed tbe stage decora- ileus, which were warmly spoken of,

The committee found that nearly all of tbe schools In tbe city wen: Inadequate to accommodate tbe scholars within tbe district assigned to each, the primary and grammar grsdes being especially crowded.

Tbe school* of s iir.h Lawrence are by no means exceptions for there the Union street school to which an addition was ivuiit recently, has as many scholars as It can properly accommodate. Tbe Pack- ard scheol Is overcrowded and It la found necessary a*, times 11 te i -'i classes In tbe hall owing to the crowded condition.

The new scboil butldhg In the Arling- ton district on the north side of the river Is overcrowded. ' The Crou street school Is closed u It bu bead for some time put aod the Park street building Is now filled. The Oliver Grammar school also hu more pupils than It should.

It wu evident to tb- committees that tbe schoots erected in tbe put have been constructed to meet tbe requirements of the time wltb no outlook for tbe future and the result of sach u no « seen by tbe overcrowded condition of tbe different buildings. They alto saw that an addition should be made to the Ar^ngton school, an Alderman Butler had deemed expedient. The committee will meet tomorrow night wben some definite action may perhaps be reached.

The town report for tbe year ending Jsn. 14, 1S92, lain the hands of tbe public. It will be seen that lira appropriation? recommended for tbe ensuing year are a,12r>,fi7a.uO. That seem* at tint tight a large amount, but oue ought to remember that the town la crowing ud of course the needs or tbe people are becoming more and more each year. Take tbe matter uf onr public school* and ic boo I bouse*. The com- fiittce baa called for an appropriation of

9500.00 and no doubt that sum could be judi- ciously expended, for what better work could a town tie engaged lu than In building good and commodious school bouses In order that tbe children may find them attractive and congen- ial lo health. It Is not onr Intention to say one word about the Abbott Village claim for a new icboolbouse. That will rut with the voter* bat It Is conceded on all sides Hut they need some other building than tbe present one and it might be wise to consider tbe propriety of putting up such a bnilding aa would relieve tbe school* up in town. But then, the school committee hu looked into that matter and wil without donbt have something to present to tbe meeting. Notwithstanding what others may say our schools are doing a good work, for Tow town* If any in tbls commonwealth can boast of a higher standard of excellence in iheir schools than Andover. For these and other reuous we hope the schools will not be cripple') to any extent lor the lack of funda.

Marriage by abduction waa by no means uncommon in the early agee. Tbe daughter of the king of Argue was ab- ducted by a PhcBnician; the Ureekii carried off Europa from Tyro and Medea from Colchis.

Next to the abduction of the fair Helen, perhaps the moat remarkable in its political consequences was the Ring of Leinster'e taking away of the wife of a neighboring petty sovereign, O'Rourke of BreffnL

The king of Connanght avenged the intralt and drove from the throne hie brother of Leiuster, who appealed to Henry II of England for aid to recover his lost sovereignty. The Norman conquest of Ireland followed, with long centuries of war and devastation.—Lon- don Htandard.

Botnen Colas In India. In the Madras museum is to be seen a

coin the finding of which was, 1 think, one of the most interesting epigrams of events with which 1 am acquainted. It is none other than the Aureus of Clau- dius which was struck to commemorate the conquest of Britain, and it found in the Madura district of the British Indian empire.

I myself possess a coin of the Arian Emperor Valens which waa found in the Vaigai rirer in the same district Such nnlooked for links between ideas and associations separated by half the world are very onrious, but in the town of Madura itself there is a building which is connected with ono of the most romantic periods of British history.—Sir Grant Duff in Contemporary Review.

Lion Taming Hod* K**y. With the object of preventing tho ter-

rible scenes of such frequent occurrence in menageries between the tamers of wild beasts and their more or less docile "pupils," a chemist proposes that a man should be stationed near the cage armed with a syringe of large dimensions filled with caustic ammonia, a stream of which is to be projected toward the nostrils of the beast in case of imminent danger. The effect would be instantaneous, as tbe creature, being unable to breathe, would lot go its prey immediately. Better late than never!—Sud-Quest.

Great Hinds Han lu the Same Channel. The approach of Hy time suggested an

idea to a man in Nebraska for a cow tail holder. A clamp like a clothespin catches the bushy end of tho tail, and two cords with a snap attachment fasten the tail to a cow's leg, to a post or to tho milking stool.. The satn*day that the Nebraska man gut his'patent for a row tail holder a man in Maino got one for tho same purpose. The Maine man's tall holder is of a single pieco of wire coiled

.MO as to connect the tail with tho cow's leir.—Harner's Yoaag Peonle.

A woman will gash over a beautiful complexion, and yet she Is entirely too lair to cultivate it; she will take . a baMi one morning, the* stop for three, and when she is shamed Into being absolutely and perfectly clean, It is usually because she has got matrled and the man bos bean the cause of 1L Tuere are five or six truths la this .world, and this is one of them: Men ate a thousand times more cleanly than women.

The average woman's Idea of washing is to lake a towel, dip fie end of It In some water, rub some aoaponft, then dab It round ber face and neck and trust that the rest won't show.

A deep, sepulchral voice announced, "I am glad to meet Mr. Brongb," and frightened him so tbat he almost fell over. However, Lady Wilde was the only woman in Dublin who had anything that compared to tbe salons run •y literary women of New York) those diabolical entertainnenta where everybody does something.

speaking of IH gloVlng past and Its

ino in Nine future, President l)onou,hue said:

Let ui believe, sa we should, that there li the earns ability bare to-iay aa when the wafts of onr mill! were a>l ting from ihe inndof the plain, Ibat tbe progress of Lawrence has been and li now npwaro, eaS that Lawrence haa grown bet ler, richer aud more rlgorou* after Ha quarter ceniiiry and more ot life, l.t us believe thai this bo i tl tag, thriving city, where we are all so sappy, la One of the pleaaameei of apota worlby Ihe name of "Home," aad ISI ns hold out to our neighbor* Ibe promise and the Inducement of everything ibat makes,a Mew Kogbud town one of the moat deelrable In I lie. world aa a place of liuslnaae and abode. <

Tbe vice president of the clab, Wm. T. Hollers, was then called npou to make a farther reeponse to the toast of "ibe clab." He made lome witty and rery pointed allusion* to tbe members that caused gone roue applause.

__ City Solicitor DeCi>ui]cy waa called upon to respond to the tout:

"The Law —" "We muat not make a scare crow of the law, Selling li up lo fear tlio birds of prey, And lei It keep ono ships, ull custom make It Their perch and uol their terror." Ills response waaaa mini an able one. lie

Ex-Aldermsn Ford,, after a klad word for the board of trade, and s faith In Its promise, reminded the company that they bad forfiouon to say grace. There wu this omission at the atari, and no oce had thought of It all through tha ntght. A chorea of voices advised Mr. Ford to send for Rev.

II«r Bargain, Tha following true etory la told in tbe

"Journal of Emily Shorei" A little girl near m Was one day play-

ing before the house, when a woman appeared and begged a few pence. She had a baby in bar arms, And the ohiltl wse eo daiiffhted with the little thing that ahe asked the vrnm** if abe would ■ell it to her.

"What will yo& give for it, miss?" was the counter qneation.

"Half a crown." "Very well," aaid the woman.; "let's

aee the money." It waa produced, and the sale mads.

iTho Httts girl took the baby, carried it np atsdn and laid it on her bed, and after ahe had fondled it "enough for once," scampered down ataira, calling to her mother. ,

"Mamma, mammal I've got it. lire ilolll I alwaya wanted one, and now rvegotit."

The baby waa found, and the stor; frankly told, but though tbe begga woman was sought all over the town< no trace of her could be diacovereu Meanwhile the baby'e little "owner begged so bard that It should be kept that tbe parents yielded, and the living doll became a household blessing.

Orij-Ui „f the l>l»no.

The pianoforte was invont«d by Bar- tolommeo Oristofori, a harpsichord maker of Padua, Italy, who exhibited four instruments In 1709. Tbe honor was formerly claimed by Marina, a French maker, Who produced a piano in 1716, while German writers maintained that Schroeter, of Dresden, was the in- itiator of the instrument. The earliest date ascribed tothelatter'sachievemeut, however, is 1711. During the present century, however,-an Italian document waa discovered, written . by Marchese Hcipione Maffei, a Florentine scholar, in 1711, which testifies that Bartolommeo Cristofort, of that city, exhibited four pianos in 1700, which statement was originally published in The cjiornalo in that year, accompanied by a diagram uf Cristofori'B action principle, employing bainmars, which constituted the chief difference between the harpsichord and the piano.

In MittTei's writings Criatofori's name is given as "Cristofali," brtt this is proved to lie an error, because inscrip- tions upon pxi*fcmg pianofortes girs tho name us "CrisWrVri.""' Tather Wood, an English monk, living at Home, is also aaid to have made a piauoforte similar to Criatofori's fjv l?U, which he exhib- iled in England, where it attracted much notice. -

Cristofori did not remain idle after introducing, hia first instrument. He became prominently known as a maker, but died in 1731. comparatively poor.— Daniel Spillane in Popular Science Monthly.
