Mr.. james P. Wallace, Of New York,
made the highest bid, $4,000, for the
water-works at the sale yesterday, but
the knocking down was stopped by a
knock-down bid from Judge Ray, Of the
Probate Court, in the shape Of q dread
injunction, representing I. W, Yardley,
of Cincinnati, a holder of FIRST mortgage
bonds. In fifteen minutes the sale was
resumed on an order from Chancellor
Morgan, and Mr.. Wallace, president Of
the New York Guarantee and indemnify
Company, became the purchaser for the
amount above stated. A crop Of injuno.
tons will probably spring up in cOnse-
quence.

The inducements now offered in this
particular branch Of trade by one of our
leading houses-Messrs. Sproule & Nc
Cown-are wonderful. For fine material,
perfect fitting and superbly made gar
ments, this house has become justly eel
brated. They are 10 selling goods at
prices less than other houses can pur-
chase at for the retail trade. They are
offering a large lot of coats and pants,
of their own manufacture, at one.half
their original cost. These garments are
all of their own manufacture and will re-
ceive the same Endorsement as any other
article. They have also made a general
decline in the celebrated Star Shirt"
Now is the time to buy your clothing,
and we advise our readers to call on
Sproule & McCown before purchasing.

AaEbioIu llmeB' n western clergy
man astoniShed his congregation last
Sunday by telling them that if Mr.. Til

the Plymouth pastor, he'd have stripped
the skin off'n that lie quicker'n a hurri-

The Schiller disaster recalls the fact
that in October, 1907, an English squad.
ron, under Sir Cloudesly Shovel, went to
pieces OF these same Scilly Isles, ocoa-
sioning a loss OF two thousand lives.
The troublesome rocks of these islands
are called, very properly, the dogs o f
Scilly."
An interesting discovery Of what is
supposed to have been once a pagan
cemetery has been made in the sand
hills Of Finner, between Ballyshannon
and BundoraR. The remains found
consist Of human bones, many of them
scorched, ashes, skulls in good preserva-
ton, charcoal, and a cinerary urn.
The flag carried by Paul Boyton
across the English channel, and sent by
Colonel Forney to Colonel Etting, has
been placed on view at the ladies' Cen
tennial loan exhibition, Rittenhouse
square.
Here is a French lady's excuse for
clipping with NJ. Achille: Had / found
in my husband a man like NJ. Achille, l
should not have failed in my duties; but
he was nothing-a mere nothing. What
would you have me do? Ny husband
would go to his occupation early in the
morning. when he returned he was in
stantly asleep. Besides, be took snuff
to excess, and refused to wear a night
gown"
A little boy was sad, talking of the
death Of his father. The minister said:
Cheer up, my boy, your father was a
good man; you should remember him
always, and strive to be like him. What
was his last word2' Nothing, sir;
nothing. You should know that while
he had strength father was talking with
my stepmother, and he was not allowed
TO have the last word"
Some time ago four ladies who passed
the London University examination for
women, entered themselves in the
chambers Of well-known barristers for
the purpose of studying law. 1t was
said at the time that their labor would be
fruitless. 1t seems, however, that the
ladies are likely, as the result OF their
studies, to obtain profitable employment.
One Of them, whose term Of study is
closed, has been engaged by a firm of
solicitors as consulting counsel"
An interesting discovery was recently
made near Rome, Italy. In digging up
a garden some workmen unearthed some
terra Gotta vases, which they at first sup
posed to contain treasure. On breaking
them, however, two live toads we're found
clad in green velvet. This strange at
tire showed that they must be at least
two hundred years old, as an ancient
treatise on magic and demonology mem
tons that, at the beginning of the seven
teenth century sorcerers dressed up
toads in this ma for the achievement
Of certain charms.
