ANOTHER COOP THING IN CHICAGO

ANOTHER Coon Thing IN Chicago
The Mayor of Chicago, who has shown
himself ON several occasions man of
considerable backbone" has addressed
letter to the Common Council indoors
ing the suggestion of the Police Commits
sioners that the saloons be closed from
eleven o'clock at night until five or six
in the morning. The Mayor calls atten-
ton to the fact that large proportion OF
brawls, assaults and murders which swell
the criminal record of the city are COM
mitted about and after midnight, and
that many of them would be prevented
if the drinking places were closed. He
adds significantly that the members of
the police force would be less exposed to
temptation if these places were closed.
According to the Chicago Post, the bet
ter class of saloon keepers themselves are
in favor of the movement, and it is i'm
probable that serious opposition will be
developed in any quarter. The persons
most affected by it are the thieves, gar
rioters, and professional cut-throats, who
drive brisk business between midnight
and daybreak, and whose work is greatly
facilitated by the saloons.

KEEPING A COUNTRY Posi- OFFICE
The free and easy manner in which some
rural post offices are kept is illustrated
by a case stated in the Belfast (Me.) Age.
The post office in the town Of Liberty
has been kept by proxy; Mr.. Knowlton,
trader, being postmaster, while the
duties of the office were done by a wo-
man, at her house. Frequent complaints
having been made of the loose manner
in which it was kept, Mr.. Carr, the agent
of the Post Office Department, proceeded
to make an investigation. Stopping
incognito in the village, he visited the
post office and found no difficulty in alb
stracting quite number of letters
Dnring the same evening, after the arri-
val of the mail, he called and took
away the mail bag, which was careless
ly left exposed. The next morning he
called upon the postmaster, who stated
to him that the mail bag had been sto-
len. He thereupon informed him that
he was the supposed thief, and advised
him to resign, which he did. A new
postmaster will be appointed.

AN OLD ORGANIzATIoN.-Ex-Govern-
or Berry of New Hampshire built tan
merry at Bristol, N. H., in 1926. 1t took
twelve barrels of cider and one barrel
of rum to build it and three extra gal
Ions to put the ridgepole on. The result
was there was so much spirit infused into
the undertaking that it eliminated in a
fight, and one man had his leg broken.
Upon this Governor B. formed tenn
perance society among the employees of
the lanyard, and has kept it up ever
since. This is said to have been the first
temperance society formed in the State
of New Hampshire.

THE LEGAL MEANING OF THE WORD
"EITHER" was gravely argued in an
English court of chancery, the other day.
A certain testator left property, the dis
position of which was affected by "the
death of either" of two persons. One
lawyer insisted that "either meant
both and in support of this view he
quoted Richardson, Webster, Chaucer,
Dryden, Southey, the story of the Cru
cifxion, and passage from Revelation.
The judge suggested that there was an
old song in ''The Beggar's Opera" which
took the other view: "How happy could
| be with either, were t'other dear
charmer away" In pronouncing judg-
ment, the court ruled that either -
meant one of two, and did not mean
"both." 1t might have that meaning
occasionally in poets, but never in a
court of chancery.

AN indianapolis girl of wealthy

She died in an Iowa poor-house, and was

| A frst-class murder was committed in
Brooklyn, N, Y, on Friday night oflast
week. The murdered man was one
Charles Goodrich. He appeared to have
been shot three times in the head, in his
own house, where he seems to have kept
sort of bachelors hall. being single
man. AT first it was thought to have
been suicide, then the murder was
thought to have been committed by
woman, and lastly the theory is that it
was committed by Spaniard, a jealous
lover of the woman, and this last theory
seems to be most probable, though not
certain at last accounts.
The woman was known by several
names at first, but at last proves to be
one Mrs. Lucetta Myers, who claims
that Goodrich was beau of hers. The
Spaniard's name is Roscoe, who is said
to be discarded lover of the woman
Myers, who is a young woman of 26
years, been married twice, first to John
Armstrong, who was killed on the rail
road at the New Hamburg accident, and
then to Samuel Myers, who died of quick
consumption in six months. The sus-
picion ON Roscoe was made by the con-
fession of Mrs. Myers, who is under ar
rest, and the detectives are trying to find
him. There seems to be no doubt of the
intimacy of Goodrich and Mrs. Myers,
from letters found, the woman having
shook Roscoe for Goodrich who had
money.

A HANGING GARDEN.-A hanging
garden of sponge is one of the latest
novelties in gardening. Take white
sponge of large size, and SOW it full Of
rice, oats or wheat. Then place it for a
week or ten days III shallow dish, and
as the sponge'Will absorb the moisture,
the seed will begin to sprout before many
days. When this has fairly taken place,
the sponge may be suspended by means
of cords from hook In the top of the
window, where little sun will enter. 1t
will thus become living mass of green,
requiring little occasional moisture.

THE HUMORs OF BACK-PAY."-O
of the Washington correspondents writes
this amusing note to the editor of the
Evening Star: The Washington Repub-
lican is still troubled that correspondents
should be committee clerks have al
ready determined to give my "15 per
cent to charitable institution, though
| don't care to boast much about it.
But of course the Republican is joking.
Let me contribute to its humor by an
o'er-true-tale." The managing editor
of that paper was clerk to the committee
on banking and currency-at least, he
drew the salary of clerk. The House, in
its generosity, voted to pay committee
clerks for the whole month of March,
though the sessions extended only four
days into March. The officers charged
with disbursements made up the bills
promptly and instead of letting the
clerks, in the usual course, take the bills
to their chairmen for approval, they
themselves took them around for that
purpose, in order to avoid any delay in
settlement of accounts.
IhO mhO IOOo blC Dill Va buS
managing editor of the Republican &c
Hon. Sam Hooper to get his approval
is reported to have had the following col
loquy:-
Mr. Hooper" What is this ?"
Officer" 1t is Mr. F.'s bill for the
month of March. The House has voted
to pay committee clerks for the whole
month"
Mr. Hooper" Why do you bring il
to me?"
Officer" We want to settle our &C.
counts, and so are getting the bills all
approved ourselves instead of waiting
for the clerks to attend to them"
Mr. Hooper, (hesitatingly)-" Well, ]
guess you may as we'll let my clerk bring
this to me. l should like to see him
I havnt had a sight Of him for about q
month.

The Post Office Department ha.

The Post Office Department has
made an order that postmasters whose
salary does not exceed 81 900 per annum
may be permitted to hold local civil of.
fees, such as probate judge, town clerk,
etc. Heretofore the amount has been re-
stricted to 5000, and numerous instances
have come to the knowledge of the de-
partment where real hardship would re-
suit If postmasters were obliged to throw
up that salary to hold little local offices.

Point, six miles from Detroit, Mich,
was burned, Tuesday night, while he and
his wife were absent. Four children
we're in the house. The eldest, aged IA,
escaped, but ran back to the burning
house to rescue her younger sisters. She
seized them and attempted to carry them
out, but was overcome by the fire and
smoke, and was only saved herself by
the efforts of neighbors who were called
to the spot by her screams. All the chill

badly burned The fire is supposed to
have been caused by the bursting of a
kerosene lamp.

Above THAT FIFTY YEARS CoULDN'T
KILL.-Mr. William Hennessey and his
bride, formerly Miss Charity Prince, are
the recipients of much social attention in
st. Louis, Just now Mr. Hennesey is so
years of age, and Miss Prince fingers on
the sunny side of rs. The bridegroom
until recently resided in Kentucky, where
he owned a large farm, we'll stocked, and
he is now reputed to be worth $4,000.
The bride had sister Carrie when she
first met Mr.. Hennessey, and to her is
accorded the honor of causing the mis-
cry and almost death of the now happy
Charity. Mr.. Hennessey first won the
heart of Miss Charity, and was devoted
to her until the green-eyed monster in
the shape of the above-mentioned sister
stepped between them. An open rupture
was the result, which finally terminated
in his leading Carrie to the altar. Will
liam lived with Carrie, what some peo-
pie term happy life, for some 90 years.
But the grim destroyer came for Carrie,
few months ago, and she passed away.
After having enjoyed for so long the
happiness of married life, single blessed
ness to William was monotonous and
dreary. The old love for Charity re-
vived, and to her he wrote long letter,
asking her to forgive and forget the cruel
part he had played. To this letter she
replied without delay, assuring him that
the old love for him had never ceased to
exist, aud that she only waited for him
to come and make happy the few re-
naming years of her existence, The
next train carried the light-hearted Will
liam toward Liberty, Mo. The meeting
was affecting in the extreme, and many
friends of the pair, who were present
mingled tears over the happy meeting
They were married without delay, and
after the ceremony the bride began .tc
weep for JOY, and kept it up the entire
day.

girl, who appeared much frightened

the judge not to send her back to her
dreadful home She said her mother
used to make her 60 out and roam around

could, and, if she got nothing during the
day, she vas sure to get whipping at
night. Mrs. Horsley had taken her out
of this dreary life to a good home, with
the consent of her mother, and, after
thinking it over, the judge decided to
let her remain.

A Two YEARS NAP.-A correspond
ent of the London Daily Telegraph tells
the story of a young girl in England,
who has enjoyed nap of Two years and
is still alive. She lives at Turville, near
Great MARROW. She is now IA years of
age, and it is alleged has slept soundly
since the 29th of March, 1871, when she
passed from commissions into a state of
entire inconsistencies. 1t can scarcely
be discovered that she breathes, and
there is the faintest possible futter of
lite about the heart. She is not so thin
as might be expected from her long fast,
and her face looks natural. Her feet
are cold, and her mother now and then
warns them up with bottles of hot
water. Since the date named she has
never once voluntarily moved from any
position in which she has been laid has
never opened her eyes to look about her;
nor uttered any word or sound, nor
made any sign that she was conscious of
living.
