Warm Times in Syracuse.
IFrom the Utica Observer


Old James Faulkner, who was wild
over and millionaire, had more eccen-
tricity than is common to rich men. At
one time old Faulkner, arrayed III his
ugly homespun, the bottom of his trous-
ers tucked into the tops of his great red
COW hide boots, stalked into the dining
room of the old Empire House, then the
finest hotel in the city of Syracuse, and,
looking about him a moment, carefully
selected table at which were seated a
number of elegantly dressed ladies, and
planted himself in a chair by their side,
and In stentorian tone summoned q
waiter. Instantly the ladies, with noses
elevated to an angle of forty-five de-
grees, expressed their indignation by
showing back from the table, prepara-
tory to leaving the dining-hall. Old
Faulkner felt the contempt thus eX-
pressed, and, believing it was aimed at
his coarse clothing, instantly sprang
from his chair, kicking castors, tureens,
silver, and miscellaneous assortment Of
crockery over the dining-hall. Then he
jumped up and down on the center of
the table until it caved In, and in less
time than it takes to tell the story he
had completed the wreck, and tables and
broken chairs and crockery we're heaped
up in a miscellaneous mass. Meanwhile
the guests of the hotel had hurried
screaming from the room, flying, they
believed, from o mailman. The land
lord, hearing the racket, and supported
by several men from the hotel Office,
hurried to the side of Faulkner, and was
about to sieze him, when the latter
turned from his work of destruction and
demanded:
What's my bill ?"
"Five hundred dollars at least, was
the excited reply.
Here's your money" said Faulkner,
as he drew from a big roll bill of the
denomination named by the landlord.
"Here's your money, and let me give
you a little advice, which you can in
turn give to your ID fool guests.
Don't Judge a mans rank and position
n life by the clothes be wears. ="

Don't Know to Whom They Belong.
From the Philadelphia Press.

There Is said to be a little piece of ter
ritory in Germany whose citizens actual
~ do not know to what sovereignty they
belong. The size of this strip OF land is
about $40 square yards. It is situated
on the Prusso Wurtemberg frontier, be-
tween the villages of Dettensee, in
Prussia, and Nordstetten, in Wurtem-
berg. The archives could not settle the
dispute, and the inhabitants of the little
plat had a hard time of ii when the tax

Cooling the Church.
[Flom BelgraYia. ]

A popularity of the churches IN India
is the punkah, which is framework of
wood covered with cloth and with deep
white friII. Rows of these hang from
end to end of the church, suspended
from the ceiling, and are swung by
ropes. which pass through holes in the
wall and are pulled by natives. Gin pri-
vate houses there are relays of punkah
coolies, who relieve guard night and
day. Why some simple machine has
never been devised to do this tedious
work is matter for wonder, but some one
suggests that no machine would do it for
sixpence a day, which IS the wages OF
these men. Certainly none would be so
noiseless. And the gentle Hindu has nc

The Record of the Fairs.

The superiority of Wells, Richardson g.
Co.'s Improved Butter Color over sill others
made, is again demonstrated by its record at
the Autumnal Fairs. The test of practical
use is what tells the story, and the great value
of the premiums given by the Agricultural
Fairs, lies in the fact that the judges IN these
cases are regular farmers, who know what their
needs are and what will supply them. Wells,
Richardson d Co.'s Improved Butter Color,
which has taken first premium st all fairs
where exhibited, is put up in q vegetable oil SO
prepared that it cannot become rancid, a most
important property, the lack of which is fatal
to so many of the Butter Colors offered for
sale. 1t does not color the butter-milk; it i'm
parts bright, natural color, winch is unat-
tanned by many others; and being the strong
est is the cheapest Color in the market.

CHICAGO, June To-day was not prolific

While the light of the sun shone into the cor

and single individuals also, were constantly
coming and going at the various headquar-

revived, while. the main corridors of the lead

mixed and unconcertain character, the
friends of all the candidates claiming an
increased strength, and discovery of weak
spots in their opponents, armor. The Blaine

Colorado's full delegation arrived in a

was conveyed and deposited in the Blaine

Maine's quota came in during the early
hours and were nat at the depot by the Cali

Pacific coast people refrained from taking a
band of music with them, owing to the char

on their march a banner presented them by
the people of Marshalltown, Iowa, bearing
the motto, ssFrom California to Maine.

The remaining noteworthy contingent in
the interest of Blaine to arrive during the
day was that from Kansas. The entire

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Blaine men are
not strenuously advocating any one for the

subject and claiming that they would be well
