What Good Havana Was sacrificed To.

From The washington CapitaI-l
There were two of them In the car.
They sat together. One of the maidens
carried In her lap about five pounds of
live sausage with the hair on IN the
shape OF a sick poodle. On the front
platform near the open door was a gem
tieman who, IN violation of the compa-
ny's rules, was putting good cigar, the
smoke OF which now and then rolled
around the ladies Just mentioned. Said
the one with the dog TO the other, who
was dogless: "Oh, how hate vile to-
bacco smoke. / wouldn't marry a man
who used tobacco In any form IL he was
as rich as Jay Gould and as handsome as
Oscar Wilde l would rather die an old
maid. (She looked to be about 5O). I
can't see how man can use it and be
received IN society as respectable; but
dear me the world Is so strange. Mr..
Conductor, she continued. twill you
please request that man to stop smok-
ing, or close that door It's an out
rage to permit such conduct in q car. It
Is very dlsagreeable to me and hurts my
dogs eyes" The conductor did as he
was requested, and the gentleman.
throwing away his cigar, came inside.
and this is what he heard and what ne
saw: Said the giriish thing, whose lover
was a dog, addressing the poodle
whose eyes were red with epizoot and
whose nose was in need of a plumber.
&" Did on dit dat nassy ole bakky moke
IN on dear itsy bitsy eyes? Let on
missy yub him out for on, f" and with
this loving language she fshed Hp a
clean looking handkerchief and mopped
the darhngs ocular machinery. He
acknowledged the kindness by kissing
her two or three times on her tasteIess
lips, then frisking around, marking her
white dress with dirty feet, cuddled up
IN her arms, and blinked at the gentle
man across the way who had sacrificed
a good Havana that a worthless dog
might not be annoyed.

fourth form to swell tfa dukes dona-
ton, and then the little snub trium-
phantly laid three sovereigns at once
upon the board. The duke, not TO be
beaten, produced three forms. Just at
this moment the plate arrived. The
little snob took up his handful of
sovereigns, ostentatiously ratified them
into the plate, and then turned dedantly
towards his rival, as if he would say,
: I think that takes the shine out of you.
Fancy his chagrin when the duke, with
a grim smile, put one form into the
plate and quietly swept the remaining
six into his pocket.

New YORK September 17.-Mer-
chants and business men generally are
organizing to create public opinion IN
favor of a national bankrupt law so
strong as to compel congress TO take de-
clsiEe action IN regard to the matter at
it's next session. The board of trade OF
this city has already taken the initiative,
and has communicated with every
commercial organization throughout
the country soliciting their views
and requesting that they send
delegates TO a national convention to be
held in New York City this winter, to
consider the subject and to devise means
of obtaining favorable Legislation. This
convention will be held early In Janu-
arv The arrangements, however, have
not been concluded. The board of trade
has not received replies from all the or
ganizations communicated with, as the
various boards and exchanges have not
had time TO take action IN regard to the
invitation. Over sixty replies, how
ever have been received, all favorable to
the convention and TO the enactment
OF what Is known as the Lowell bull,
with one exception, the merchants and
manufacturers exchange of Detroit.
New England remains as ever solid for
the Lowell bill, which was drafted by
Judge Lowell, of Boston. The friends
of the bill claim that the opposition
heretofore encountered IN the west and
south s rapidly dying out. Among the
favorable replies received are SIX from
organizations IN as many different
cities IN Iowa, which has In the
past not been favorable to the Lowell
bill. Pittsburg, also, which has
displayed much opposition to i, has now,
it Is reported, become united IN it's favor.
The board of trade has circulated the
following petition among the exchanges
OF the country: 1.-The undersigned ear
nestlY petition your honorable bodies for
the early passage of national and uni
form bankrupt law, possessing the fol-
lowing salient features DiscouragIng
insolvency, the largest distribution of
assets at the lowest possible expense,
the handling of the assets by the credi-
tors under supervision of the court, the
abolition of the fee system of compen-
sating officials, preventing and
annulllng preferences made IN
fraud of creditors, affording relief
to the honest debtor, Furnishing
the fraudulent one, expedition of the
proceedings and speedy disposition OF
the same-a compact, equitable, codified
law which can be read and understood
by every business man" Last winter
petition IN favor of the Lowell bill re-
ceived IN thirty-six hours the signatures
of two thousand merchants IN this city.

to the Cutter Marble company. who
will use 1t for the manufacture of
monuments and other marble and granite
work. In recent article regarding this
company it was told how their business
had increased during the past year and
that they had built large addition to
their finishing shop ut the quarry. That
now proves too small for the number of
men employed. Some changes must be
made in the cotton-mill, so that the work
will not be moved here from the quarry
till about Jan. l. Probably 10 men will be
worked. Every one will certainly wish
success to the new enterprise and be
thankful that the town has so many men
of public spirit to afford the marble com
pany facilities for extending their bust
ness.

After refreshments had been served

about this structure, the latest addition tC

he said, to put up a boarding house OF
any other building if one only has thu
money; and mt the outset lac had though
| it would be no arduous task to procure
funds for this object. His original ide;
was to erect building to cost abou
$500. 1t seemed Il trifing sum to &c
together, but in order to make sure o
plenty he wrote 81 letters to friends OF
the college whom he knew were able t.
contribute literally. The net proceed
of this effort were about $50. Tn
Mcssrs. Charles and Egbert Starr thel
came to the rescue. The hall and all it
furniture and outfit, with the exception
of $3.50 worth. has been bought witt
money furnished by these gentlemen
DR.. Hamlin then stated the object of tn
house-to enable the students to Obtain
good board at low rates. Fuel. light
and the necessary help are provided b.
the college. The students buy the food
In effect, they board themselves, but ar
freed from the annoyances inscparabl
from self-boarding under ordinary cir
cumstances. Every effort would b.
made to follow the conditions necessar.
to the health of the students. We ma.
add that the clearinghouse is wei
patronized. OF twenty-one out-of-towl
students in the college, twenty take thei
meals there.
