Artemus Ward.

Mr.. Toole. who was one of Arte-
mus Wards most intimate friends in
London, says that he told him the
following story: He went to lecture
at a remote place, where his face
was not knows. He was little
late. The audience became impa.
tient, and began to stamp with their
feet and to whistle. By and by
Ward came out and began to move
about the platform, busting the
chairs and desk. The people took
him for "supe,' and became still
more impatient. Presently he turned
around, dropped the dust-cloth and
said: "Now having busted the chairs
| will begin my lee ture." Many of
the Jokes he made were not so good
as this, but, no doubt, served to
amuse himself and others, An &C
quaintance told me that he was once
riding in Broadway omnibus when
Browne got in, and, on beng asked
for his fare, inquired of the driver if
he could change five dollars. The
driver said he could not stopped the
coach, and requested Ward to get
out. Upon this Ward became very
indignant. Why should he get out9
Because he had not the proper fare.
"But l have" he said. ! never said
| hadn't ten cents; only asked If
you could change FIVE dollars.-E.

at that time no internal injuries had
been discovered.

Scrinlmage la Sntro.

On Wednesday night while every
body was hilarious over the public
speaking In Sutro. A. X. Horton, the
well known, etc became little
moie so than the others and struck
a boy named Tobin, in Msserve's
saloon. The parties were separated,
and afterwards Horton managed to
get into quarrel in Geo. Shaw's
saloon with Chas. Donnelly. Dur
ing the struggle which ensued Hor
ton shot of his pistol and very
nearly made bull's-eye on the dial
OF the clock. He was forcibly re-
moved by some officers, and after
wards escaping, made his way iuto
still another saloon where his thirst
for gore was assuaged through ex-
ternsl applications to his nose and
eyes. A cheerful feature in connec-
ton with this little spree is the cir
cumstance that there were no poll
tics In 1t.

Take Warning In Time.

Those men whose right to vote, al
though registered, is questionable,
are warned that an investigation
will be made, and if they have made
false affidavits before the Registrar
prosecution will be commenced
against them in the United States
courts. Don't take desperate chances ;
the penalty is fine and imprisonment,
and it will be enforced against any
fraudulent voter on either side. There
are several whose stories have been
conflicting; they will fit this to them
selves, and 1t will be an act of wis.
dom for them to take heed. No
names are mentioned, as their pre-
vious rsspectability leads to the be-
lief that they will not violate the cleo
ton laws. A strict watch will be kept.
Enough said. Don't let it slip your
