the image somewhat, suffering it to harden
again, and yet gradually. No matter If 1t were
hardened quite and cold the pain had struck
the disease would work now; his enemy was dis
posed of.
And yet he was not altogether satisfied Why
should few minutes torture imperil mans
life! Perhaps he had been too hasty in. with
drawing the image from tsse fire! And then
again. although the wise woman had instructed
him to pierce the wax with needles on
the second day of the melting, what harm could
there be in putting in now, just to make
assurance douby sure? So he held the efiigy to
the flames again, but not too near, Until the
wax grew SOFT and then, under his breath, and
with malignant emphasis which showed how
profoundly he believed in the baleful efficacy
of the charm. he repeated the words:
Fire burn, fire stew,
The first knife stick in you,
and drove the point of the needle into the upper
part of the image about where the heart OF a
man would be. "A further drop two of the
wax fell on the hearthstone-more like blood
than ever, as it appeared to him. But he was
satisfied now. The mischief was begun. his
unknown friends could not complain of any want
Of thoroughness on his part.
When he had replaced tho now shrunken I'M
age in the box, and placed that again in the iron
chest, and locked the same, he blew out the
candle, and made his way back to the parlor
Here he found Alison and the servant-lasses
assembled for family worship that being the
chair drawn in to- the table, and the family
Bible lying open. His first duty was to read
chapter. and he began to do so at once, but in a
mechanical fashion, for he could not keep his
thoughts from going back to the little chamber,
and the red fire, and the needle, and the drops
falling like blood on the hearthstone. This was
the twenty third chapter of the Book of Mum
bers he was reading; and he had come upon it
quite fortuitously; for the practice of the house
was to 60 steadily through the Bible, from end
to end, one chapter night. And yet, az he read
of Balak the King of Moab, who would have
curse fall upon Israel, and how Balaam was con-
strained to bless the people. his mind was
haunted with misgivings; and then came the
verse: Surely there is no enchantment against
Jacob, neither is there any divination against
Israel: according to this time it shall be said OF
Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought"
But the mechanical reading came to an end; then
he gave out the Pslam-
'sThey in the Lord that firmly trust
Shall be like Zion hill.
Which at no time can be removed
But standeth ever still
As round about Jerusalem
The mountains stand Away,
The Lord His folk doth compass so,
From henceforth and for aye

Everything about the place is now

actly in what condition things are,
before cutting down the appropri-
alton to $4,000 a year. The Or

600 is allowed, the Home will come

A Strange Series Of Accidents al
a Funeral

A Strange Series Of Accidents at
Funeral.
New YORK, Feb. ia special
from Erie, Penn, says: The re-
mains of the daughter of John
Wells were being carried into the
Methodist Church in Wesleyville
Penn, yesterday by four young
lady pall-bearers, when two of
them slipped on the Recovered
steps and the coffin fell. The
casket was burst open, allowing
the corpse to roll out upon one of
the PROSTATE young ladies who was
frightened into insensibility. The
body was replaced and the service
concluded. At the entrance to the
cemetary the handles of the casket
broke and the corpse again rolled
out. As the remains were being
lowered the cord slipped and the
casket was smashed at the bottom
of the grave. The grave digger
losing his balance fell into the
grave upon the corpse and was
drawn out palsied with fright.
Another casket and shroud were
then procured and the remains at
last found rest.

THE STATE PRISON BILL.

The introduction of a bill to
build a State Prison at Reno out
of the old dismantled walls of cut
stone folly begun years ago by
Coy. Brady, is not buncoMb
proposition as many people sup
pose. The parties who are backing
the scheme, are wide awake, deter
mined men, and mean to establish
the State Prison in Reno, if there
is any possible chance to win the
trick by lobbying. lying, promising
or bull doing. 1t will take the
utmost vigilance to defeat this
bill, and it has been introduced be-
cause it friends believe it can he
passed. Reno has boasted that
it would win the fight whenever
it made the attempt. and it knows
very well that if it once fails, its
chances for future success in that
direction are considerably lessened
Every property holder in Carson
should wake up and assist in de-
feating this measure. True, the
Prison is of little benefit to Carson,
as the Reno merchants furnish the
supplies, but each public building
that remains here helps to anchor
the rest, and each public building
taken from us, places the rest in
jeopardy. When one goes, the
chances Of the rest going are
thereby increased, and all this
means that Reno is aspiring to be
the capital of the State. We
started in by giving Washoe an
inch when Bell was elected, and
now they propose to take an ell.

FOIBLES OF TRAVELLERS.
A Mystificd Ercnchmaa and n Hoo
tel Register.

There is good deal in mans way of
scribbling his name on hotel register.
To the man himself it does not often APP
pear that in addition to his name he in
scribes something of his character in the
book. Take different mems ways Of an
nouncing TO the register that they are ac-
companied by their wife. One will put
down in fluent, frank hand this inscrip-
ton
"John McWurzel and lady, Midtown"
The writer means by this that Mrs.
McWurzel is with him, but he doesn't
say SO. Nothing OF the kind. A French
man much less prudish than Max O'Reil
stood aghast a few days ago in one of the
Philadelphia hotels, when he read such
legend as that written by McWurzel.
"What," he exclaimed, edo Americans
put on record such things as that?
When the Frenchman had the matter
explained to him he said, with shrug OF
his shoulders, Zone would think that
ones wife had name, at least"
Sometimes you will see this:
"John McWurzel and wife"
This is an improvement, but not much
OF one. A man and his wife in tina,
country are equal at least, and it is posi-
BILE that Mrs. NfcWurzel, whose name ISM
thought even worth mentioning, manages
the McWarzel household throughout, in
Guiding her husband. The only proper
thing is to write it:
"NIr. and Mrs. John McWurzel."
In cases Of newly married people the
"Mrs." can come first. The legeneC
printed Just above is the one used gener
ally in Europe.

SALT LAKES DRAMATIC TREAT.
rbc Great Play of 'Mary stuart"
Tonight, and "Mocbetho
To-Morrow Night.

Madame Janauschek and her company
appeared last evening in her great drama,
any Life," and although exceedingly
unpropitious weather was abroad, the
Theatre was comfortably filled. The
versatility of lanauschek in her dual
role was admirably brought out, and
while the strength of emotion and the
sweeping torrent Of passion as displayed
in "zillah" are absent, there are yet stu
ations in which she displays such electric
force that the power Of genius compels
the homage of all. Miss Beatrice Lyster
made charming impression last even.
ing, as also did Miss Helen Rand, and
the support of such actresses places the
company upon remarkably high stand
ard OF excellence. -.
This evening Madame Janauschek will
appear in the title role OF "Marie Stuart, "
Schiller's great historical tragedy. This
is her masterpiece in high tragedy, and
she is the greatest impersonator OF the
unhappy Scotch queen that the world has
produced. The play is gloomy but
powerful, and the Incompatible actress
imparts to the character of Mary a real
ism that causes the art to be lost sight OF.
There is hardly an emotion that she does
not arouse, or depth that she does not
sound. Her rendition OF the part appeals
only to the highest refinement, the broad.
est intelligence and the subtlest imagina.
ton. The cast is strong, and doubtless
every attention will be given to the end
less details required TO make the play his
torically accurate.
Tomorrow evening, byrequest, Shakes
peare's great tragedy Macbeth will be
presented. Madame Janauscheck is said
TO be grand rs Lady Macbeth, character
in which she has no equal There is an
active demand for choice seats for this
performance, and it will be the last time
OF seeing this Incompatible actress in one
OF her greatest characters.

evening, beginning at o'clock. Fitz-

though weighing but 1853 pounds, while
Smith balances at 173 avoirlupois. The
setto will consist of six rounds, with
scientific points to govern. The gloves
used will be OF medium weight, such
as will not infringe upon the
law. Besides the pugilistic entertainment
there will be an exhibition between the
Salt Lake dog Prince" and the Califor-
mia dog Surrey" muzzled. Two blooded
chickens with gloves on will be pitted
in an amusing and harmless encounter.

be to please all present and maintain
