Wyatt Chadwell, an old man,
clutched nervously at the iron railing
In front OF the Justices desk, on Mon
day. in the New York Tombs, when
called to answer charge of intoxica-
ton. He astonished the court by re-
citing passages from Shakespeare and
Virgil, winding up his discourse with
an extract from Homers Iliad. The
prisoners classic recollections failed to
have any effect, however. He asserted
that he was grandson of Patrick
Henry; he had been a Confederate
soldier and participated in all the chief
battles of the rebellion. Justice Kill
breth listened to him with attention
and then discharged him with a rep
rimand.

Mr.. William Christian and his
lovely young wife, of Hano yer county,
Va, were seated together in their par.
Tor. The air was damp and chilly,
and the husband suggested that fire
be made. There had been no fire in
the parlor hearth since last spfing, but
IN few minutes the back logs were
piled up and cheerful blaze went np
the chimney, and in few minutes a
terrible explosion took place. Mrs.
Christian was instantly enveloped in
flames and fatally burned. Mr., Chris
tian was also seriously burned, but it
is thought he may recover. Neighbors
hearing the noise, arrived in time to
extinguish the flames. Mr.. Christian
now remembers that last summer he
laid bundle of powder in the fire
place and forgot to take it out.

The United States Revenue Collie,

The United States Revenue Collec.
Tor In Clarion county is compelling To-
cal oranges of the Patrons of Husband
ry, where they buy their own supplies
to take out a license, and the Porter
township Grange of that county is re-
ported to have been particularly unfor-
tunate in the matter. A woman need
ing alcohol for some medical prepar-
alton requested the Grange to get her
four gallons. The liqnid was stored in
the grange warehouse, and some boys,
obtaining access to the building, drew
off some of the fluid for their own con-
sumption, and filled up the vacuum
with water. The woman was fur.
nished from the watered tank, and the
diluted alchohol spoiled her mess for
her, whereupon she came upon the
Grange and recovered damages to the
amount of $50 The Revenue Collec-
tor, getting wind of the transaction,
required the Grange to pay a license
or fine for dealing in liquor

A California company has undertaken
the construction of roads across Cen.
tral America, from San Jose on the
Pacific coast to st. Thomas on the At
lantic side. The government of Qua
temala a. rees to make cash advances
on the work as it progresses, and to
guarantee to the stock holders a yearly
dividend of II per cent, on a fixed
cost of 81 100000. The customs reye-
nue. of the republic, which yields ST.
100000 per annum is specially pledged
for security for this dividend. The
cash advances made to the company
during the construction of the road
are to be repaid to the government at
the rate of $4,000 per annum, by a
deduction from the yearly dividend, to
commence one year after the full conf
p!etion of the work.

elaborate manner. Many pretty costumes arc
to be had at much less than a fashionable
drc'smnkcr would charge for the making

MILLINERY,
The hats were never more becor1ing than
this season. With numherlCss varieties TO choose
from, the hat should hc adapted to the style of
the face, no matter II II Is not the latest The
flower hats are light, airy, and much admired,
and can readily be put together. Instead Of
buying the ready made purchase frame, q

French bows on the back, and you have rs
pretty a hat at $3.50 as you could buy for $40
ready made.
The dress hats set back on the head. expos

English walking hat is yet admired for street
or general use.
For house wear the princess takes the lead.
Many are made very plain, having sash

prcttily over the train, with square neck and

mittcd to hail with joy the sensible as well as
comfortable short suits. The Kilt suits are

but row they are trimmed to suit tho tasto

Now that the feet are so exposed by the short
dresses, more care will be necessary In this
