A CURIOUS SKY.

Atmospheric Phenomenon fn New Eng
 land-Ffres Thought to be the Cause.
 MANCHESTER, N. H., Sept GA curious condition of the atmosphere exists here to- day. The sky was obscured and the light was of deep yellowish tint, changing at times to pale green The gas jets looked like electric lights and the grass and foliage of the trees appeared glassy bright green as if freshly painted. The obscuration wore away soon after four o'clock. The phenom- enon was general throughout the State. In some places the sky was darker than in oth- CTS, noticeably Nashua. The factories and workshops were lit up. The phenomenon is attributed to forest fires in Ontario.
 The Strange Effect in Boston.
 BOSTON, Sept. 6.-To-day was one long to be remembered in this vicinity. About a. m. a golden pail began shrouding the city and continued throughout the entire day. It seemed as if an immense confiagration was raging, and that it was the yellow gleaming from the burning houses which produced the singular effect. At noon it was as dark as at p. m. on an ordinary night, and gas was burned in all the streets and houses The gas looked through the mist like the incan- descence of the electric light. A strange quietness seemed to pervade the whole city. Various theories are advanced to explain the strange phenomena. The superstitious of course think the world is coming to an end. Some say it is caused by sulphuric va DOT in the air. The most probable theory is that it was caused by smoke from the i'm mense forest fires that have been raging to the north and west the past week two. This smoke, caught in the fog, hung like a golden canopy over the city, requiring either storm or high wind to disperse. No odor was detected on account of the height of the strata. Dispatches from various points in New England indicate the same state of af- fairs. The peculiar tinge of the atmosphere extended from Maine to Connecticut.

S uNDAY READING
Tact


In the Youths Department Of the
New York Observer, we find the follow
ing words Of advice addressed to n young
girl, which we commend to our young
readers.
Never remind your companions Of
their personal defects.
Never remind them of their failures.
Never make comparisons.
Keeping in mind this last rule, you
will, for instance, never volunteer your
opinion as to who Is the prettest girl in
school,.
Be very careful what you say or init
mate to your companions in regard to
their looks. If you can say nothing
complimentary, say nothing at all. /
warn you in this matter, because girls of
your age are SO deeply interested in the
subject of personal appearance, and are
inclined to talk so much about it.
An old author says 'every woman
who is not positively ugly thinks herself
handsome;" and a modern observer
that 'a girl can forgive being called
wicked or stupid, but she cannot forgive
being called homely."
However this may be, do not run the
risk of giving offence by saying. to A,
who has freckled face, "B would be
rather pretty ifit were not for her freclx-
les !" or to G, who has defective teeth.
bad teeth would ruin any ones looks
ect., ect. Many persons who are not
quite idiots render themselves extremely
disagreeable by such speeches as these
without the least intention of giving
offence.
"There is no use in trying to cultivate
tact" a lady once said to me. 'Tact is
is like beauty, gift from heaven. "
Whereupon l glanced at that lady's
dressing table, with its array of lily
white, hair vigor, vaseline, ect., and
thought "If young ladies took as great
pains to cultivate tact as they do to en-
hance beauty, this would be much
pleasanter world to live in. Beauty is a
very good letter of introduction but per-
feet tact is joy forever"
Cultivate tact, then, as you would
music. You will never play like Blind
Tom, but there is no reason why you
should not practice the scales.

neighbors said could no be cured. i

II had not given them Hop Bltters.

mend them high enough. B, Roches-

Blood Money.

We make drunkards by law in the
men, and rob men, and burn out their
brains, soul and manhood, but we do it
legally. The government says to the
manufacturer, +" See here, friend you are
running the country by this business, /
can't afford it. You are poisoning and
killing off my subjects in a most unmer-
ciful manner, for which L get no COM
pensation. / don't mean that you shall
quit the business, but mean that you
shall pay me certain fixed amount for
the privilege of carrying on your whole
sale murder traffic, or else you will have
to close up and quit the business
''All right" says the manufacturer,
"fix your price and I'll pay it, 1t does
not make any difference to me. Tie
man who buys the whisky.will pay the
tax"
And the tax is laid upon the whisky,
and the wines, and the beer; and every
barrel, and keg, and case of wines and
liquors has the government brand and
the government permit on it. Death by
law Death by government! Death
by act of Congress The city or county
or state steps in and says: "What are
you going to do with that poison 2"
"Sell it to murder your sons and
daughters "No you don't; you can
not poison and kill people in this city
unless you do it by law. You must
have license or permit of some kind,
which you must pay for, and then you
can ruin all the souls you want to,
provided you do it according to law. So
hand over your money and then go to
work"
He gets his license, rolls in his whisky
barrels and beer kegs, paints the lower
sash of the window, puts green wickets
in the door, writes saloon over the en-
trance, sticks a cigar in his mouth,
mops off the counter with wet cloth,
and the agent is ready for business.

less than three years. He was buried by

An Old Rich Firm.

THE Rothschilds have been attract
L ing no little attention to themselves
here in Paris by the announcement of
the extention of the act of partnership,
which expired September 3Oth of this
year, to 1906. The Paris branch of the
famous family is quite large. The dowa-
ger Baroness Rothschild, who lives in
the family mansion in the Rue Latte,
had five children-Baroness Alphonse,
who ia at this date at the head of the
family; Baron Solomon, who died
long time ago Baron Gustave, Baron
Edmond and the Baroness Nathaniel
Rothschild. The venerable dowager is
veritable fountain of charity. She
gives away hundreds of thousands of
francs every year. In the summer she
lives in splendid country house at Bo-
logne, where apartments for each of her
sons and daughters are kept constantly
in order.
Baron and Baroness Alphonse Roths-
child live in the old mansion in the Rue
st. Florentine, where Tallyrand once re-
sided. They are gay and are extremely
fond of society, and are seen everywhere
in the monde the Baroness is one of
the most accomplished equestriennes
who frequent the Bois de Bologne. Her
husband is an enthusiastic patron of the
turf. He has stables at Meantrif and
Chantilly, and lavishes millions on
them. Solomon Rothschild was deli
tate minded man, fond of conversation,
books, pictures and society. His widow
has daughter who will, it is said be
the richest heiress in the Rpris family
Baron Gustave is the only one who has
married outside of the family.
One of the sons of the late Nathaniel
Rothschild has just purchased the splen-
did mansion of Count Toistel, in the
Avenue de Friedland; and another
named Arthur spends his life in collect
ing books. 1t is said that no one else in
France, except the Duke de Aumaie,
possesses such inestimable treasures of
rare editions and luxurious bindings as
this young Rothschild. One. of the
latest additions to the delegates to Paris
Of this phenomenally rich family is
Baron Adolphe Rothschild, of Naples,
who has closed out his business and re-
tired with the serenity of conscience
promoted by the knowledge of the poss-
ession of 10000, 900 francs. He may be
seen now and then in the Bois, lolling
negligently in the blue carriage, which
is one of the pecuIiarities of the house.
He is a great collector, and will spend
hundreds of thousands of francs upon
any trlfe which he happens to consider
he must have. There is but one Catho-
lie in the family, and that is the Ouch
ess of Grammont, who, it will be re-
membered, was the daughter of Baron
Rothschild of Frankfort on-the-M Main,
one of the richest members of the
group

Tho Robbery of Wren Alias Sullivan.

Patrick Sheimers was arraigned at the po-
lice court yesterday morning, charged with
the very serious crime of larceny from the
person to the extent of $500. The robbery, it
will be remembered, took place at Long Kate S
bagnio as reported in yesterdays issue Of the
GLOBE Sheimers, who is strapping stall
wart over six feet in his socks, denies his
guilt and is as much affected as an overgrown
baby.
The circumstances are very conclusive, and
it looks as though the young man had been
caught dead to rights at any rate he will have
to whistle down the long lane to see his way
out of it. AS stated yesterday, $3.50 of the
money was recovered on his person, the de-
nomination of the bills corresponding to the
ones alleged to have been stolen. To account
for this he relates tale about selling some
land and wheat up the country. On the other
hand, the testimony Of the demerip will GO
hard against him.
Mr.. W. W. Erwin appeared for sheimers
yesterday, and he pleaded not guilty. The
hearing was set for o'clock this afternoon
and the defendant was committed in default Of
$500 bail
