A Stable Loaded with Luxuries.

A Danbury man who has invested in a
invested in lottery to be drawn some time
next month, in which the leading prize is
800, ,000 contemplates building stable for
his horse. 1t is not to be very large
poInUinenTs. 4-----,-7-
builders have made the plans. The build
ing is to be 24x25 feet, with French roof,
and of two floors. On the first floor are to
be the stalls and carriage apartment. The
stalls are three-one for the horse he al
ready has, another for the horse he contem-
plates getting, and the third for company.
Each stall partition is to be covered with
leather The manger and hayrack are to
be made of cinnamon wood as being easy
to chew and palatable to the taste, and will
be replaced with new ones when eaten
away. The water used in cleaning the ve-
hicles will be heated in the winter and
iced in the summer. The axles will be lu-
bricated with a pou,ade compounded under
the care of responsible chemist. When
not occupied by the horses and vehicles the
floor will be covered by Brussels carpet.
A rep tete-a-tete, ashes of roses color, with
blue velvet trimmings, will stand at the
head of the room for the hostler to sit on
while thinking. The water-pail will be OF
German silver, nickle plated, and the sponge
will be trimmed with beads of pure jet.
Shovels padded on the back, so as not to
scratch the floor, and forks with pads on
the tines so as not to run into anybody, will
complete the furniture. The refuse will be
kept in pen made of red cedar, so as to
keep it free from moths.
| The hayloft will have the most striking
features. The ladder will be of solid ma
hogany, with heavy balustrade, and richly
carpeted. The floor will be of Georgia
pine, and covered with an Administer car
pet-nearly an inch deep. No spieer webs
will be allowed in this room. Instead, there
will be silk worms imported expressly from
the south of France, to cover the timbers
of the roof and fill in the corners with their
delicately beautiful gossamer. In the loft
will also be billiard table, library, and a
bathroom. The feed cutter will be Of rose
wood, with music box attachment, which
will play airs from popular operas while the
| machine is in motion. The building will be
heated by steam, and supplied with gas,
which will be lighted by electricity. All
the leading daily papers will be kept on
file. The whole will be very fine, without
doubt, but it seems a foolish expense, even
if the money is to come from lottery. =

Orig i Of the Chinese Queue.

The history of the Chinese queue is told
by the Rev. Julius Doolittle, o missionary
in China, as follows: 9 The first Emperor
of the present dynasty, who began to reign
in 1914, having usurped the throne, deter
mined to make the tonsure of Manehuria,
his native country, the token of submission
Of the Chinese to his authority. He order
ed them to shave all the head except the
crown, and allowing the hair on that part
to grow long, and to dress it according to
the custom of Manchuria. The Chinese
had been accustomed, unde, native Empe-
rors, to wear long hair over the whole head,
and to arrange 1t in tuft or coil The
change was gradual. but finally prevailed
through the Empire. At first, those who
shaved their heads and conlormed to the
laws received, it is said, a present Of tael
of silver, after awhile only half a tael. and
then only tenth of a tael, and afterward
only an egg-fnally even an egg was not
allowed. The law requiring the people to
shave the head and braid the queue was
not only rigidly enforced BY the penalty Of
immediate death, but 1t became very mani
fest that those who did not conform to the
wishes of the dominant dynasty would
never become successful in Il lawsuit against
those who did conform, nor would they
succeed at the literary examinations"

schuyier's Report-1o,oo0 servians
Killed.

LONDON, Aug. aa.-A correspondent with
the scryiana at Alexinatz says the Servians
lost ten thousand men in the first five days
fighting around the town.
Schuyler's preliminary report of his in
vestigation into the outrages in Bulgaria,
addressed to the Ministerial Constantinople.
fully confirms the worst that has been told
Of the atrocities. Schuyler found that
most Of the slaughter had been done by tho
Turkish soldiers. Hedenounces the report
of the Turkish commissioners concerning
these ontrages as a mass of fsalsehoods. and
declares that sixty-ise villages were burn
ed il these districts, and fifteen Thousand
men, women and children were killed.
Schuyler continues his investigation.

is an orphan, her father, ex-Judge Roose-
velt, having died two years ago and her
mother last winter in Paris. The Roose-
velts come of good Knickerbocker stock,

She was beautiful and talented lady in
heryounger days, and great entertainer

THE ESCAPED FENIANs.
1t is only necessary to have the British
flag in any way humbled to have the Irish
of this city go off in spasm of delight that
is as funny as it is absurd. Four or five
Fenians escaped from the penal colonies in
New Sydney, and landed here the other
day. AS matter of course, the Irish gave
them an ovation; and equally, as matter
of course, jealous Irishmen who don't like
work overmuch, commenced organizing
for another raid on Canada. The first
step toward iberating Ireland is always to
collect few thousand dollars from Irish
laborers and servant girls, which these
patriots always succeed in doing, and liv-
ing luxuriously for a while, after which
nothing more is heard of them till another
opportunity occurs. This little game is
being played now, and the result is num-
ber of Irish spouters are seen on the streets
in gorgeous apparel. A movement is on
foot for another advance on Canada, which
will result, if it goes far enough, in another
inglorious retreat upon New York. But
the servant girls-innocent things-pay
every time to save :" the blissed ovid sod
from the bloody Englsher." And the O's
and Macs take advantage of their simplic-
ity every time ; and profitable thing they
make of it.

VARIOUS WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.
A boy over in Brooklyn, whose parents

own. How did he do it? Easily enough.
He noticed that thousands of people, tired
of paying two Or three prices for gas, had
thrown out their meters and were using
coal oil. The youth knew rom experience
that the care Of coal oil lamps was the
greatest nuisance in life, and he went to
dozen or more families and proposed to
clean, trim and fill their lamps and keep
them in order, for ten cents per day. lie
started with twenty, and in week had SO
MANY on his hands that he was compelled
to take an assistant, and it went on TILL ne
has now score or two of boys, nnder
wages. and is making great deal of mon
cy.
Tn unpleasant contrast to this is that
ingenious youth who traded on the vanity
of the Brooklynites to the tune OF some
thousands of dollars. He prepared gor-
geous prospectus, announcing the puollca-
tion of an elite directory-that is, dir9c-
tory in which only the residences OF the
very first of the first families would appear.
He went. of course, to only the lower, vul-
gar. rich families, and SO great was their
desire to appear among the nobs that ne
took in two dollars each from them about
as fast as he could get in and out OF thell
houses. The police got on his track, and
discovered that he had no office, no means
of getting out directory, or anything else;
that the whole thing was, in short a very
| neat swindle. He had collected over three
| thousand dollars.

Tender Politicians,


MIR. EDIToR:-An article in Wednesday s
fREss stated the expires sion of Democrat be-
ing opposed to the marching about the streets
OF our soldiers recalling the strife, bitterness,
&c, of the late conflict" And so has there
been opposition to the keeping of battle flags
OF having them publicly exhibited because they
are reminders that the Union once formed has
been preserved through all opposition to this
Time. DO you say that one hundred years have
passed since the Declaration of Independence
OF this country from that of England? And
stlll all this hue and cry has been kept up, and
this year more than ever. Yet we are willing
England should participate in our Centennial
exhibition! Shall we have an act passed that
celebrating our nations independence shall be
stopped when it brings up unpleasant memo
RES? Yes! when it is right to forget that we
nave maintained that independence, notwith-
standing it grieves the heart of our enemies to
see the evidences of it. 1t has ever been q
source of grief to the Southern allies at the
Moth to see parade of Union soldiers, bat
lie nag or any reminder of Northern victory
over Southern disloyalty. The trouble is, it
hurts these Democrats because their interests
were one with the rebellion inasmuch as South
ern and Northern Democracy are one thing,
and point to the election of the same man. If
we have triumphed over wrong and subdued
the evil. whether as nation, state, city or in
dividual, we have a right to keep before US
the evidence to stimulate our devotion.

SERIOUS 1NJURIEs.-Friday morning it was
stated that Mrs. Tierney. living in Dolan' s
block, had been arrested for an assault upon
another woman, and it was feared that the
skull was fractured. The next day the assault
ed woman, Mrs. Shanehan, was about the house
and all fears that she would not recover were
dispelled. But Sunday the woman was taken
i'll, and yesterday DR.. Sylvester was of the
opinion that her recovery was doubtful The
story of the trouble as told, is, that Mrs. Shan
chan, who lives in rear basement of Dolan's
block, sent her little girl out on the street We'd
nesday noon to get some milk for dinner. As
she started to go out Mrs. Terney, who occu-
pies tenement in the same block, forbade her
passing through the hall. The child went back
and told her mother, who started out with her
to get the milk. When she came to the stairs
the Tierney woman told her, eff you come up
here I'll smash your head" Mrs. Shanehan
kept on and Mrs. Tierney flung fiat iron at
her, which struck her on the head, above and
back of the left temple, cutting cash and
making a fracture of the skull an inch and
