after the business. Yesterday Dave got
a little too much anti. prohibition aboard
and Chief Field sought to run him in.
Dave managed to get inside the Office,
locked the door, and then played "Hail
to the Chief" in a very aggravating way,
with his thumb at the end of his nose
and his fingers extended. The chief
walked off in disgust, but wasn't baffled.
He laid low for Dave, and when the
latter again appeared on the street, he
collared him and locked him up in jail.
Now who is overseer for the poorl That's
what the chief wants to know.

They Arm Themselves To The Tcetl
In a Dentists ONCE.

Yesterday evening it was discovered
that the burglars and sneak thieves, who
have made so many d%epredations here
lately, were still lowering about. They
had during the night visited the dental
Office of DR.. Clark, and helped themselves
to two books of gold filling, enough to fix
their teeth up in fine shape. They also
appropriated a gold ring which had been
left there as security for the payment of
a dental bill by a young man who had
not the cash handy.

A Church Not Wanted.

j. w. Church, who made such n sensa-
ton here by giving himself up as a
fugitive from justice, claiming that he
was a defaulter for a large amount in
West Virginia, is still in Jail here. In
response to a telegram sent by Chief
Field to the postmaster at Barberville,
w. Va, yesterday received the answer
"Church not wanted. No charge against
him." This looks rs if Church had
drawn Oh his imagination largely for the
story he tells, but he will be held here
for a few days longer until an answer is
received to letters sent, so as to make the
matter more certain.

Hawthorne,s birthplace.

Correspondence Portland Me- Transcript.
l have recently visited all these five homes
of Hawthorne in Salem. They have not
changed much since he lived in them; still
less, think, have the immediate surround
ings changed. Our interest naturally centers
first in the old gambrel-roof house, No. 81
Union street. because here, on July f. 1904,
his eyes first opened to the light, and some
how we always point to a mans birthplace
as the all in all no matter if he only lived
in it that one first year when he was squall-
ing nuisance Ito everybody but his parents,
of course.) No. q Union street has been
described frequently, and illustrated in books
and magazines, and its gambrel roof and six
feet by three chimney are as famil-
lar as household words. 1t is still
drabcolored, as in the days of its
(then to be) famous occupant. When first
saw it, some ten years ago, it was very much
weather-beaten and in need of a coat of paint,
which it has since received. The front door
still opens on the street. There is, as of old,
one window with faded green blinds on
either side three windows with faded green
blinds above, and five windows with faded
green blinds on the north end. The historic
northwest room retains its monster fireplace.
This room, l learn, is little changed since
Hawthorne was born here. The old L in the
rear shows the ravages of time and weather
far more than does the house itself. The
house is more than 200 years old, because
Benjamin Plckman built it soon after the
middle of the seventeenth century, on land
which comprised the original grant to Joseph
Hardy Nathaniel Hawthorne's father was
the first of the family to occupy it, about
$780, 1 think.

The General, in replacing his cigar, put the
lighted end in his mouth. He WINGED and
shook his head. The Jehu managed to get
his head turned from the wheeler, and said:

"cranks." There are several OF these who
have at various times made threats to Gen.
Sheridan by letter. But there are others
who have sought to kill him with admiration.
Since he has been in Chicago he received a
communication which covered six pages
of legal cap" The writer had followed the
career of the soldier with an eye of pleasure
and a heart of joy. He did not think the
government had been sufficiently remunera-
tive to so great soldier, ard he begged Cen
eral Sheridan TO accept his personal draft,
which he inclosed, for $4,000. The General
dropped into one of the banks that day and
handed in the draft, with the remark, You
can put that to my credit when it is col

of his body and the limbs attached thereto.
Since the 10th the application of red-hot
iron to the flesh on that side of his body

Gently had to pay, that there is every proba-
bility that ladies' "dress-i mprovers' will in
crease rather than decrease in size. You
see, SIR" said my voluble informant there

Battery" l gasped; what on earth do you
mean?" Why" said she, with plying
smile at my ignorance, 1.-THE electric battery,
to be sure 1t is becoming more and more
fashionable for ladies TO wear electric iewelry,
and room for it must be found in some portion
of the costume" A light-electric, L sup
pose-dawned, or shone, upon my benighted
mind, and then 1 recollected having seen one
lady at a fancy-dress ball with an electric
diadem blazing in her head-gear, but the
spectacle was regarded as a curious theat-
rical display, and no one dreamed that it
was likely to become fashionable except
among "ladies OF the ballet" However it is
true enough that good few of the demi-
mondaines are adopting this rather startling
method of adjoining themselves, and the Gus
tom Is climbing up the social scale, for in
this, as in good many other fashions, the
monde follows the demi-monde. Any color
can be got out of glass, and for tiny peep of
light the smallest battery is necessary. A
dashing demi-mondaine can thus make a
pennyworth of glass eclipse duchess's dia-
monds or rubies. The correct thing now is
to wear a star or brooch, illuminated by cleo
trcty, upon the left shoulder, instead of the
diadems at first worn at fancy balls

Religious Exiles in Russia.

The recent ukase of the Russian Car grant
ing freedom of conscience and worship to
the "Raskolnyks," schismatics of the Russian
established church, will bring over 5000, 900
of exiles back into the heart of Russia The
"Raskolnyks'' were not banished in chains
to Siberia, but, being dissenters from the
Greek Church, whenever they began to get
strong in any particular section, the clergy
OF the established church complained of
them, and had their community removed to
some remote province in the empire, which
their intelligence and industry soon devel-
oped into productiveness, and increased the
imperial revenues. They have always been
noted as patriotic people, and the cars have
always been favorably disposed towards them
on account of their loyalty and thrift and
their good example wherever they went

The New Version.

DR.. Philip Schaff, in an article in the New
York Independent, sees promises that the
Canterbury version of the New Testament
will be generally received as the accepted
version within short time.' Much depends
upon the meeting of the convocation next
year, to which the whole Bible, Old and
New Testaments, will be submitted for its
approval DR.. Schaff thinks there is not
much doubt that this assembly will approve
the work, since several of the revisers are
members of the convocaton. The
action of the Church of England will
in all probability decide the course
of the Protestant Episcopal church of this
country. The British Publication Society
has been recently requested by the Bible
convention, held in Saratoga, to print and
publish the revised edition of the New Tes
lament according to demand. DR.. Schaff
says: "The most ardent advocates of the
Anglo-American revision could not wish for
more than a fair chance and trial. Any
legislation prohibitive of the old and
coercive of the new version would be
preposterous and defeat its own end. Let
both be used together, and leave it to the
future whether the new, by it's superior
merits, will supersede the other. The COM
mon sense of the Christian people will uti-
mately prefer the better to the good. Every
scholar admits that the revision is better

An Ohio man has recently secured patent

invention on the lakes The chief difference
between this and other life-boats is that this
boat is circular in its horizontal sections, ex-
cept that segment is cut away from each of
the two sides to admit the propelling paddle
Wheels OF which there are two, directly OPP
posite, and intended to be worked by those
inside the boat. On the roof or top is GU
pola, perforated for ventilating the interior.
Windows around the roof of the vessel,
which slopes gradually to the cupola, are in
tended to admit light, and there is to be
door for entrance and exit, which is to be
rendered water-tight by packing around
the doorway. The interior is to be provided
with seats and straps are secured to the walls
to draw over the bodies of occupants to sus-
tain them in rough weather. The boat may
be made to contain from one to hundred or
more persons.

WHEN ARMIES FOUGHT HAND TO
HAND.-In the days Of hand-to-hand fight
ing, when missile weapons were employed
by comparatively small portion of the
cOmbatants, the vanquished were generally
almost annihilated and the victors suffered
enormously. At Canine 0,OOO Romans out
of $4,000 were killed. At Hastings the
Nornians, though the victors, lost 10000
out of 10000, and at Crecy 10000, FRENCH
men out of 100, 900 were, it is asserted, kill
ed, without reckoning the wounded. When
the flint-lock reigned the average of the
proportion of the killed and wounded IN
ten battles, beginning with Zorndorf in l73S
and ending with Warterloo, was from one
fourth to one-ffth of the troops present on
both sides. The heaviest loss was at Zorn-
dorf where 32,916 men out of S2,OOO, were
killed or wounded. 1t was also very heavy
at Eylau, being $4,000 casualties out OF lGO,-
OOG men. In the campaign in Italy in loo9
rifles were used on both sides, and we lind
that the proportion of casualties to combat
ants was at Magenta and Solferino one
eleventh. In the Franco-Prusslan war or
1901, when both sides were armed with
breech-loading rifles, the average proper
tion of killed and wounded at Worth,
Spicheren, Mars-le-Tour, Gravelotte, and
Sedan was one-ninth, the heaviest loss being
at Mars-le-Tour, where it was one.sixth,
and the smallest at Sedan, where it was
