Tom Peppers Tribute to Artemus Ward.
Virginia lNev.l Enterprisel

lfH sLllld NNtN ) H4utci iSSl
Tom Pepper, who is known as "the peer
less prevaricator of Nevada, led Bohe-
milan life here years ago. One day, hearing
of Artemus Wards arrival at the Inter
national hotel, in breathless haste he rushed
away to interview the great humorist, He
ran at once to Wards room and, knocking,
was instantly admitted.
"Artemus Ward, believed"
Artemus signifed that the guess was a
good one.
4 ain delighted to meet you,' cried Tom
delighted to meet you, sir
And have the pleasure of SEEING and
the smiling Ward looked a whole line Of III
terrogstion points.
Il AMI am-that is my name is gasped
Tommy name is. Well, just wait mo-
ment till think and Tom ran ont of the
room and closed the door behind him, leav-
ing Artemus standing in the middle of the
floor.
After q few moments in the hail Tom
rushed back toward the astonished Ward
with extended hand and glowing face, cry
ing: "PepPer, Pepper, sir! I'm Mr.. Pepper
Tom Pepper-better known Us Lying Ton
Pepper"
Hingston-Ward's agent-was out at ths
moment Thinking he had an insane man
to deal with Artemus smiled the most cheer
full smile then at his command He declared
he had often heard OF MIR. Pepper, and was
delighted to meet him At the moment he
was about to change his seeks; would Mr..
Pepper be kind enough to withdraw and call
around again in half an hour Mr. Pepper
would and did.
When Mr. Kingston came in Artemus had
a fearful! story to tell about his adventure
With a crazy man. Afterward, when Ward
came to know that sense of his greatness
| as humorist had so overcome poor Tom as
to canss him to forget his name, the genial
lecturer declared it was the greatest compli'
ment that had ever been paid him.

Literature.

While the Ladies Relief society, St.
Luke's hospital and other charitable or
CARNATIONS are doing much good to the
poor aud suffering. the ARGUS sends in a
plea for the unfortunate who are inmates
Of the county poor house. Steward Rob
ertson-whO, by the way, makes one of
the best the county has ever had-was in
the city today, and complained of u short
age of reading matter for his boarders.
Especially is this noticed on Sunday,
which is observed at the poor farm as
elsewhere.
Hero is chance for philanthropic per>
sons to render assistance without
inconVeniencing themselves in the
least. Old books. magazines, peri>
odicals and all legitimate read
ing matter will be thankfully received
by Mr.. Robertson. He has a large, va
cant bookcase, which would be just the
thing to hold supply of reading matter.
He therefore respectfully invites every
body who can to contribute something
toward the good cause, and to leave their
favors at the ARGUS Office, where he will
call and get them. Come, now, who will
be the first to lend assistance in starting q
library at the poor farm? Remember that
books which you consider of no interest
will be eagerly scanned by those who
cannot even provide for their own sus-
tenance.

Scientific Americana

NJ. Combe dAlma, member of the Agri-
cultural society Of La Gironde, has sue
ceeded in producing Illuminating gas by the
distillation Of sea Pima. NJ. DAlma was en-
gagged at st. Nerac in the production of a
special kind Of macadam; and part Of the
process consisted in baking clay. This was
effected by the aid OF the pine wood found
in the district which formed excellent fuel.
1t occurred to NJ D'Alma, however, that it
would be more advantageous to employ not
the wood itself, but the gas which
might be produced by its distillation. He
therefore 81 once obtained permission to con
duct a number OF experiments at the gas
works in the town, and eventually succeeded
in producing a gas with which he supplied
the public and a considerable proportion of
the private lights fur two nights in sue
ceSsion.
On the first night tie effect was not alto
gether satisfactory, owing TO the material
used being sodden and of bad quality; but on
the second occasion the lighting was entirely
successful The event caused some excite
ment among the municipal authorities. who
appointed a commission to vouch for
the success Of the experiment This they did,
and have since expressed Il desire that the
matter he taken up by the municipalities OF
thoae places in the southwest of France
where this particular species of pinewood is
to be found, with the view TO its profitable
utilization Tor gas making purposes. NJ.
D'Alna has satisfactorily proved that the
distillation of pinewood ia closed vessels is
thoroughly practicable; ana be believes that
the resulting gas could be produced at a
much lower cost than that Of ordinary coal
gas, while the sale of the residual products
charcoal tar, and an acid liquid would de.
fray the whole expenses of manufactures

Most Of it in the eastern, northern and

enormous stay>at-home vote in the south,
which, had it been brought out, would
have swelled Cleveland's vote. There
was no contest in the south. A feeling
