TURNING THE LEAF.
The Customary Mode of Doing 1t.
TPhiladelphla Racord


Those who have leaves to turn are prepar-
ing to turn them now. This business of
stating good resolutions-this crawling out
OF bad habits, as sofs-shell crab slides out
OF his covering. is as easy as running up sn
account with the grocer. In this world of
booms, and other tribulations, there is but
one thing easier. That thing is to break
them the day after New Years. About this
time an epidemic in the form of a yirtuous
inclination to start good with the world on
the LIST Of January RACES among the people
In most cases it is simply spasm of the
mind; resolve that has no more backbone
in 1t than jellyfish, or more substance than
charity-scho0l soup is said to own.
Before the ordinary young woman decides
on anything Of this kind she talks about il
for week or two among her friends, to i'm
press them probably that she is about to con
vert herself into particularly
exemplary female. Having done
this, she pins up her bangs before
retiring on New Years eve, gets a pencil,
sharpens it TO a fine point, places in her lap
a very small book, and then gathering her
thoughts from their excursion through
space, she begins TO think, TO concentrate
her mind on the first little weakness or folly
she will part company with on the first of the
year-and here Is the result:

Grant "a a Walking Bill Board.


Washington Capital.l
Our slop-fed Caesar of Galena, who is being
carted over the country to create boom, to
the utter loss OF all respect and dignity, if
he ever had any, Is being utilized in a way
that would be ludicrous in any other land
than our own, by being made an advertising
medium. The professions in every city
through which he has yet passed have been
made up mainly of wagons, carts. buggies,
coaches, Indians Turks, darkies and what
not carrying advertisements OF various
establishments seeking business in this way.
One could read, for example, on a huge
wagon covered with flags:
WELCOME THE HERO.
Medicated Paper at Stimsons!
GLORY TO GRANT!
Podogogue,
Sure SHOT for Rats!
CHICAGO WELCOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT
Try Liniment and Tar. Cures Bowel Com
plaintiff!
And SO on down the entire line. AT the
head of this the corn-fed Caesar rides with
uncovered head, bowling TO the right and
left with the solemnity of an OWL
How much better it would be for this
great man to give himself directly 10 the
business boom, and subject his imperial
person to that high purpose. What a superb
advertising medium he would be to have
his highness decorated with appropriate
robes-they might be of imperial cut, and
in this way combine Roman grandeur with
business-and then cover them with neat
and appropriate announcements. As this
great man, upon whose stomach depends
the future of the Republic, complains of
being out of employ, we would suggest
this as an honest way in which to make a
living. We know business firms that would
pay handsomely for preferred spaces-say
the breast or back; and he might demand the
highest sort of a premium for that part of
his imperial person where the legs and the
body begins. As it is much the largest part,
there would be room for great display.
Try 1t, Csesar-theres millions in it.
With the same view of getting through the
shams to the practical business, we would
suggest that Democrats who carry banners
on these occasions should have those banners
appropriately lettered. Say
WELCOME GRANT,
Welcome Delano!
HAIL TO THE THIEF!
Welcome LandauleJ Williams!
Or
GRANT FOREVER,
Secor Robinson all the timei
The HERO OF APPOMArrox.
and
Stealing Made Easy!
Or
QUEEN VIC SHOOK HIM BY THE HAND!
Welcome Belknapi
Or
FIRST IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE, FIRST IN THE
POCKETS OF HIS CoUNTRYMENl
Welcome Ulys. I.-Emperor.
And so on without end. The effect would
not only be striking and picturesque, but
true, and that is something in these times.

dent occurred at Twelfth and French
streets about 2:30 o'clock. Millais was
driving cart TO which was hitched two
horses, and which was loaded with about
six hundred bricks. The horses became
somewhat unmauageable, and a lady,
who was crossing the street at the time,
was iu danger OF being run over. Eager
to prevent any injury to the lady, Mil
lais leaped down from his seat on the
front part of the cart, to turn the horses
aside. In doing so his feet became en-
tangled in the lines, and he was dragged
some distance. Finally the wheel caught
him and passed diagonally across ihis
breast He was taken TO his home a. 92S

tiou, and DIR. Quinby was summoned.
An examination showed that three ribs
on the left side had been broken, the col
lar bone crushed and other internal in
juries given. Milais died about 4:25
o'clock. Deceased was a years of age
and had a wife, but no children.

spa g wherein to dance.
The grand march commenced shortly
after 10 o'clock, and was led by Master

A DastdrdLy Act.

A PARTY OF MEN BREAK OPEN THE
SHUTTERS OF THE LADIES DRESS
ING ROOM AT THE OPERA HOUSE,
A dastardly act was committed at the
Opera House last night, and II the per-
petrators OF it could be apprehended,
they should be severely dealth with.
1t appears that after the performance
of "Evangeline" was over, six of the
lady performers retired to what is
known as the "chorus dressing room"
facing on King street, for the purpose Of
relieving themselves of their stage COS
tunes and assuming their street dresses
While they were thus engaged, and par
TALLY disrobed, they heard q noise at
one of the window blinds, but not Civ
ing 1t a though. they continued disrob-
ing, when all of sudden the blinds
were burst open, and q man entered
the apartment. OF course this action
frightened the ladies, and without a
second thought they rushed from the
room calling loudly for help.
Mr.. Baylis, the manager Of the Opera
House, who was on the stsge at the time,
hearing their cries, and thinking per-
haps some oftbeirclo:hing had caught fire
rushed down stairs In order TO ascertain
tie cause of the commotion. The mat
ter was quickly explained to him by one
of the ladies, but when he entered the
room which they had left, the perpetra-
tors Of the deed had fed, and nothing
could be found of them, although an ac-
tive search was instituted.
Upon examining the blinds, he found
that the bolt had been ben. almost dou-
BILE, and that "jimmy" or some other
Instrument had been used. 1t Is verv
evident that whoever committed the
deed knew something about the room
and its use.

A butcher from Wilmington was in
Newlin township, Chester county, Pa,
day or two ago, to take look at the
large steers now being fed by John
Hury, and offered him, we are told, $3.50
for the pair, which he declined. These
cattle are said to be the largest and
heaviest that were ever fed In this coun-
ty. They will probably find their way

that parents who desire to get their chill
