admission as a state. The election for

THE WAY THE ALLIGATOR FEEDS
The alligator is lazy brute, and instead
of hunting for something to eat be lets
his victuals hunt him. That is, he lies
with his great mouth open, apparently
dead, Soon beetle crawls into it, then
fly, then several gnats and colony of
mosquitoes. A little later a lizard will
cool himself under the shade of the upper
Jaw. Then few frogs will hop up to
catch the mosquitoes. Then more mos
quitoes and gnats light on the frogs. FL
nally whole village of insects and rep
tiles settle down for an afternoon picnic.
Then all at once there is an earthquake
The big jaw falls, the alligator blinks one
eye, gulps down the entire mepagerie,
and opens the great front door again for
more visitors.
The HARTFORD REMEDY FOR RED
ANTs.-A gentleman of this city informs
us that last summer his family were
troubled with myriads of little red ants.
He watched their movements, and finally
found that line of them came through
a crevice in window, and made their
way to the pantry Returning with bits
of sugar or food, they passed out where
they came in, and disappeared in the
ground few feet from the house. On
examining he found a space of quite four
feet square filled with the ants. He
procured a wash boiler full of boiling
water, had the earth about the nest
stirred up, and the water poured on. He
repeated this one the two following days,
being careful to cover with the boiling
water several feet of.ground all around
the nest He had no more red ants in
his house last summer, nor have they
reappeared this year.-HarJ9rd Comm

THESupreme Court of ohio on Mon
day decided the Scotty liquor tax law
to be constitutional. TIE law authorizes
annual assessments upon the business of
selling liquor and this is decided to be a
constitutional enactment. Whether in
the face of this decision the Democrats
in the campaign will make war Oh the
Scott law remains to be seen. The law
is a just one, as it merely requires the Ii
quor traffic to bear its share of taxation.

distemper, and was dead when the men
found him. The horses got out had to
be led around some distance, and over
the body of the dead animal. AL. Bax-
ter had his hat kicked off and got his
hand scalded. Harry Miller could not
speak above whisper for two or three
days, from breathing the smoke. Young
Baldwin got out. his fathers horse,
but was almost gone. Chief Lath-
rOp very properly cOmplimented the
men on their gallant and heroic con-
duct. In all respects the fire was ad-
mirably managed and the surrounding
property kept unharmed. The RepOsi'
tory establishment was in great danger,
and they were ready to remove, in fact,

ables; but soon took them back. Phil.
Albert, the hOstler, who slept on the
third floor, only awOke after the hremen
were there, and on opening his door the
smoke and flames rushed in. Alarmed,
he made haste to jump through the
window, and as luck would have 1t, he
lit upon the top of top buggy and es-
capped with few slight bruises. Had he
shut his door and waited few minutes
he could have come down q ladder. All
on the third floor was lost, including
seven sleighs. The horses were unin-
sured, and average $l75 each. OF those

was damaged, and other kinds of prop

$4,000 insurance on the building and

COlumbiana Mutual; 81, 500 on COLI tents

City, N. Y, company. They think the
loss will about equal the insurance. The
rescued horses were generally taken to
the Farmers Hotel and Drs. Blanchard
and Beachtel gave them attention. On
consultation the horses so badly scalded
and burned were killed. As soon as the
new engine building is occupied, Ian
terms for the firemen can be kept safe.
Mayor PierO made AL. Baxter take five
dollar bill for saving his horse. The
Mayor and his mother provided coffee
and lunch for the hook and ladder
boys. Several of the horses badly burned
are likely to get along.

The Livery Stable Fire

Last Saturday morning threatened to be
serious cOnhagratiOn. The alarm was
given at :15, and in about five minutes
thereafter water was pouring in upon
the fire. The fire broke out in the third
story where were hay and straw, corn
and oats bins, and a space for the sleighs.
When first seen the fire was all through,
and the metal roof confined the flames
and smoke. The steamer and other fire
companies were promptly on hand, and
Chief LathrOp also in time to place his
gallant men where they would do most
good. Five streams of water were very
soon playing upon the fire on all sides.
Citizens assisted to run out carriages
and buggies from the first floor. On the
second hoOr were 28 horses, several
of them owned by private parties, but
no one would venture up, not even the
stable men, until some of the hook and
ladder boys crawled up on hands and
knees amid the cheers of the crowd, and
led out every horse but one, which had

The Barnum and London Show Again to
The Front.


OF this tremendous and novel enter
tainment. W hich is to be here on Friday,
August 18th, the New York Herald Of
March 9th speaks in the most laudatOry
style, detailing its salient points aud
surprising merits in an eloquent Ian
guage. 1t says:
"Barnum's great show gave its first
exhibition of the season yesterday.
There were two perfOrmances-One dur
ing the afternoon and second at night
and the crowds of spectators at both
were only limited by the capacity OF the
Garden to contain them. During the
afternoon hundreds were turned away,
unable to get in. Like the show itself,
this is said to be unprecedented. Il
never before in my years of experience
said an old circus man, knew the first
afternoon performance of a circus in
this or any other city to turn away
crowds of people, 1t Is probable that
those who couldn't get in were the only
ones who were disappointed. The en-
tertainment is certainly a wonderfully
varied and interesting one. What with
a stage and two rings, in all of which
the exhibitions were going on at one
and the same time, there was a bewil-
deTing embarrassment of riches, and
the observer felt that something more
than the normal allowance of eyes was
necessary in order not to miss anything
The triumphal pageant and grand en-
tree--the opening features-was really
splendid and imposing procession
and brought out the full strength of the
company, except those two very popular
attractions, Jumbo and the baby ele-
phant. They were deemed worthy of a
special introduction, and were re-
ceived with great applause. Jumbo
looks even taller and certainly fatter
than last year. His trainer says he has
grown seven inches in height. The Ira
kene performing stations, the heard of
educated elephants, the clown elephant
Don and the trick horses seemed to be
even more proficient than last season.
In addition to these and the acrObats,
gymnasts, lady and gentleman riders,
slack rope artists, jugglers and similar
features, there were many novelties,
such as the wrestling by John Mcmahon
and Edward Decker, bicycle perform
ances by some remarkable skillful child
rem, roller skating, CaledOnian sports,
fencing and duellng representations
and gladiatOrial contests. There were
half a dozen or more clowns whose an
tics were amusing. One who gave a
buTlesque performance on roller skates
seemed to be particularly acceptable to
the multitude. Taken altogether, the
show is even more attractive than in
previous seasons and is well worth see
inc.

The cases Of diptheria occurred in the
same family in which two deaths from
the same disease were reported last
month. So far as known, no other cases
have occurred in the city. The death
from septicaemia was returned malarial
fever. As the nOsOlOgieal table adopted
by the State does not recognize the term
malarial fever, and as the symptoms in
this case. as reported by others, indi-
Gated septic poison, the name of that dis
ease was applied. 1t will be observed
that after subtracting the deaths by ac-
