As charges have been made by the Citizsns'
Association that there are at least 1000 false
registrations, it is highly important that the
books should be carefully revised before the
election for the Constitutional Convention.
And this should be done under other officials
than those who conducted the registration.

Remarkable Freak OF a Young Lady
from Indiana.

A Washington dispatch DULY ~ to
the Boston Herald says: A young lady,
who gave the name of Emily Noble,
with her residence in Indiana, called
upon President Hayes yesterday morn
ing, and informed him that she had
arrived, in accordance with her promise.
to marry him. The President said he
would have to consult some of his
friends about the marriage, and manag-
ed to get out of the room. She was then
taken in charge by an officer and con-
Quoted to police headquarters. She was
rather finely dressed, had just arrived
in the city, and seemed bent on being
married. Senator VOORHEES,, upon being
informed of the case, and happening to
know her parents, requested that she be
sent to the Government asylum for
treatment. She was in the meantime
provided with quarters in hotel. She
had with her $2l7, which she parted
with reluctantly, although she was told
it would be kept for her at police head
quarters. She appeared very mad be-
cause the President did not marry her,
as she had imagined he would, and said
if ne had not consented by his silence in
not declining the offer she had sent him
in letters she would have married a
young man in Indianapolis. Miss Noble
is about q years of age and is not at all
bad looking, and besides is well edu.
Gated.

Curious Hiding Places.

Some women have curious ways of
hiding their money. The Cincinnati
Con n,erctal says: "Mrs. Hansen put
fifty dollars in the oven of her stove one
night to keep it safe. Next morning,
after breakfast, the national debt had
been diminished exactly that much. A
student of the curious would find it in
terestipg to note the places in which
women hide their money. One excel
lest and frugal dame used to tuck her
little savings away under a corner of her
carpet. The tiny roll of greenbacks
grew fatter and fatter in the course of q
year or two, when, the day after i.
counted $3.50, the house took fire. burn
ed to the ground, and again the nation
al debt was diminished by little roll of
woman's pin. money. There was that
other careful lady, too, who used some
times to hide her diamond rings be-
tween two tea-cups in the kitchen cup
board, sometimes behind certain brick
in the cellar, and again under the lining
of an old hat. She had divers other
places of safety for her jewelry also, the
only trouble being that she had SO many
hiding places she occasionally forgot
where she last put her precious things,
and about every three months would
fancy she had been robbed, and the
house would be turned inside ont, and
all therein be made uncomfortable un.
til the missing gem would be found
carefully tucked away in the folds of the
bottom towel of the pile in the left-hand
corner of the lower drawer in the
clothes press at the east end of tie din
ing-roOm.'

Effects Of Imagination.

A citizen doing business on GIiswOld
Street has given this weather question
great deal of thought, and yesterday he
began series of experiments to ascer-
tain whether Imagination hasn't as
much to do with hot day as the Their
mometer. At Q o'clock in the morning
he entered his office, built brisk fire in
the stove, closed the door, and sat down
to his newspaper, having his chair close
to the stove. In a few minutes one of
his customers opened the door, and be-
fore he could express his surprise the
official called out:
"Come in! What change in the
weather since last night! l hated to
build fire, but it was positively like
November in here. Come over by the
stove"
"Has-has the weather changei?"
hesitatingly inquired the caller.
"Changed! Why there's difference
of thirty-one degrees since 10 O'Clock
last night! Hear what the weather re-
port says: Northerly winds, great
change in temperature, with indications
of a severe frost at night! l wish had
brought down my spring overcoat"
"Well, felt the change, but didn't
realize the full power of it," said the
other, as he edged over to the stove and
rubbed his hands.
"You should watch these things and
dress accordingly. l wouldn't dare
come out in that thin coat. First you
know you'll have chill"
"I-I know I'm rather careless, but I
must look out for myself in future.
This fire feels rather good"
Yes, it does; you'd better get thor
oughly warmed up before you 60 out in
the raw air.
The caller remained there for at least
ten minutes, all the time standing beside
the hot stove, and yet when the Their
mometer marked 100 degrees he made
no complaints and went out saying that
he would 60 home and get on a thicker
coat.-Detr0I Free Press.

A ROME On. W man went home
tired and hungry to dinner. He took
his seat at the table and saw with de-
light his favorise vegetables and meat
before him. It was o tempting repast,
aud he longed to get in medals res. He
spread his napkin in his lap, helped
himself to a piece of fish and discover
ed, 10! that it was simply wax. He
drew the chicken to him and commence
ed to carve it, only to find that it, too,
was wax. The potatoes, the tomatoes,
the beans, the peas, ETC., etc., all turn
ed to wax at his touch. In blank dis
may he turned to the demure face of his
wife for the explanation. A ripple of
laughter was her reply. She had a tai
ent for wax.works, and he had frequently
boosted that he could invariably tell at
q glance that her work was artificial.
This was the way she proved that he
couldn't. He acknowledged the corn,
the potatoes, tomatoes, ETC., and meekly
presented his pocket-book to his accom-
pliShed spouse.
