A SECRET ONE,

and the most elaborate precautions were
taken to keep the events OF the evening
from the reporters ears. In moment or
two after tie doors had closed upon the
committee Clerk Galligan appeared at the
outer portals with his minute book, aud
was admitted by some one within after an
intricate and mysterious rap had been
given upon the panels. Officer Bob
Junkins then took up his position to
guard the entrance, and the reporters
were in despair.
Inside the room the committe WAS
CALLED TO ORDER
BY Chairman Hildre.h, and the Clerk read
the minutes of last Saturday ) meeting
The matter of the election of secretary
then came up, it being desired that abso-
lutely no one but the members of the COM
mittee should be present, and the honor
was bestowed upon Mr.. P. B. Dobbins.
About this time the fear that the delib-
era,ions Of the committee would be over
heard By some inquisitiye newspaper man
again took possession Of the members, and

or ornament, | don't know, and only
a woman suffering from the decorative
craze can ever give you any Idea on
the subject"
The speaker was the salesman In q
wooden-ware establishment IN the
business portion of Chicago. The lis
tener was the friend of a reporter for
the Herald, whose wife, having at last
caught on to the latest craze, wanted
the wooden scoop-shovels to bedaub
with lacquer gliding and adorn with
water colors on the scoops, after
which she intended tying a red ribbon
about the neck of one, and a blue one
on the other. and placing them at the
sides of the fireplace. But the scoop
shovels were not to be had. The
woodenware man expected a conslgn-
ment from the factory in a few days,
provided some female decorator did
not break into the freight-car and get
away with them in transit. Soft was
also with chopping-bowls. Some
housewife, who was less acquainted
with the compromising Of hash than
she was with painting and the like,
one day took her chopping-bowl into
her studio, and in due course OF time
it reappeared clad in the raiment OF a
gigantic plaque, mounted upon a
queer-looking easel made for the pur-
pose. 1t took, and forthwith the
woman of thecountry have been run
ming mad after chopping- bowls, and If
they cannot get them they take wood
en- shovels. Perhaps the woman OF
the butter-paddle could get neither.
Thus it has come to pass that the
wooden scoops, formerly used almost
solely on potatoes and sold for So
per dozen or thereabouts, have rapid
1y gone up in price to S., So, So and
even SO and So per dozen, and the
buyer is lucky to get them at any
price Hash, too, seems destined to
become one of the lost arts as
soon as the present generation OF
chopping- bowls dies off, for no good
boarding house mistress can afford
to pay the exorbitant prices asked for
them. The woodenware man IN ques-
ton, after rummaging his warehouse,
found solitary shovel that had been
sent him years ago as a sample; the
reporters friend planked down its
weight in gold or near it, and there is
another happy housewife over in the
West Division.

The Antiquity of the Bang.

Boughton, the artist, in his "Sketch-
ing Rambles in Holland" in describ-
ing the dress of the women of Marker,
says: "In print in Dutch book Of
1877 there is the samefair hair, cutin a
fringe straight across the brow, and lev
ell with theeyes. Othershad the fringe
brought level with the eyes and then
brushed up. This had rather an ag-
gressive air, belonging probably to the
caste Of eligible maidens. Let those
who fancy that the fringe, or bang
as it is called in America, is a new
fashion, 60 to Marker and see it in it's
glory"

A Queer Story.
IErom the Portchester Journal.

From the POrtcheSter JOurnal.
About three years ago the people OF
Fordham determined they would re-
move the village graveyard. Few OF
them knew of Edgar Allan Poe or his
beautiful Annabei. They began to re-
move the bones and lay them away
promiscuously in q sort OF charnel
ground some distance out In the cOun-
try. A gentleman in New York who
knew much of Poe's life, who loved his
poetry and was aware that his wife
was buried at Fordham, heard Of the
removal of the graveyard and went
out to protect the bones Of sweet
Annabel The gravehad already been
opened and he came near beng too
late He collected the precious relics,
wrapped them neatly in a paper, and
brought them to his house in New
York, where he kept them for nearly
called who had known Mrs. Poe and
who was very fond OF the poem Anna
bel. The conversation drifted toward
these beautiful lines, and verse after
verse was repeated over and over
Finally the gentleman Of the house
arose, and said: II will show you
something" He then proceeded to
unwrap the bones Of the poor heroine.
''These," he said, '.are the bones of
'Annabel.'" He then proceeded to
tell the story. The bones were soon
afterward sent to be inferred at Balti-
more.
The above is but a part Of as weird
and uncanny a story as any Poe ever
wrought out of his peculiarly uncanny
imagination This sequel has but re-
Gently come to our knowledge and every
item in it can be proven much more
satisfactorily than many incidents of
Poe's daily life and habits. Names
and places are withhold this article,
but can be furnished on demand. In
the same room in which the bones Of
sweet Annabel Lee were kept, waiting
the transfer into the hands ofrelatives
in Baltimore, was also jealousy
guarded the original manuscript Of
1.-The Raven" which was destined to a.
place in the corner stone of the Poe
Monument. Late one afternoon,
while the window happened to be
opened, a raven flew in and lighted on
the portfolio containing the. precious
manuscript. The gentleman in the
room WIS, DIS Cdll w I0dully COu-
ceived, at first much startled, but up
on approaching the bird and finding it
quite tame, explained the strange coin
cidence satisfactorily enough. The
raven showed no disposition to move
and the gentleman having 40 provis-
ion for so unusual a guest, took him
to a druggist near by who kept him
for his children, as there was no adj
vertisement for him in the daily pa
pers. Soon after, while visiting at the
house of a prominent and wealthy
New Yorker, the hostess expressed to
him the desire for tame crow. Think
ing the raven as worthy OF place in
that household as a crow would be,
the gentleman in New York who
knew much of Poe's life" induced the
druggist to return him the raven,
which he forthwith sent to the lady
before mentioned, and in whose home

ceased) lives a quiet and uneventful
! life

and Remedy,

OF all the multitude of fearful ills that
prey upon and destroy the human race,
consumption stands out with distinctive
prominence as the most alarming. cold
at first, then a neglected cough leads to the
development of this scourge of mankind.
One remedy that has survived the test Of
trial is Aliens Lung Balsam, compounded
from the purest ingredients and free from
all combinations of opium. For coughs,
colds, Group, bronchitis and all other af-
fections of the throat and lungs it stands
unrivaled. 1t approaches so nearly spe-
cifc, that with the common sense directions
around each bottle strictly complied with,
ninety five per cent. of consumptive cases
are permanently cured by this Invaluable
remedy. The safety of every family would
be consulted by keeping a bottle of Allen
Lung Balsam in the house and have it
ready for use when coughs, colds and Group
make their unwelcome intrusion.
