A BUsHEL OF FUN.
Coroner Zunich Holds an InQues
on q Live Sheriff.

Coroner Zunich Holds an Inquest
on Live Sheriff:
One of those peculiar cases calling for
coroner to sit upon the live body of a
sheriff occurred in this city Wednesday
and lasted we'll into the night An at
tachme ent had come out Justice Mobiles
court upon chattles in the Lakeview to
satisfy the demand of the female cook
in charge Of the culinary of that hos
telry. The North Shore bank held q
mortgage which gave Charlie Smith a
chance to replevin and later on the SER
vices of Coroner Zunich were called in
to play. Sheriff Wagness removed the
goods under the attachment proceedings
but when the replevin proceedings were
initiated the goods were taken back.
Then begun legal squabble between
B. ]. Mcintyre, counsel for the cook,
and the bank attorney as to the uthol
ity of the coroner in the premises. The
contest waxed warm enough for sum-
mer day, and the Lakeview boarders
narrowly escaped missing their suppers.
After the evening meal the attorneys,
sheriff and coroner were again upon the
scene, and between 7 and IL clock the
goods had been carried out and mken
back about five times. The INTER OCEAN
reporter arrived at II o'clock, but found
the case SO badly mixed that he had to
consult,an attorney to ascertain its legal
aspect. Mr.. Mcintyre and the sheriff
made another attack at l1:30 but were
repulsed by Mr.. Smith and the coroner.
Mcintyre was very emphatic in his in
structions to the sheriff, whom he order
ed to remove the goods at the point of
the revolver if necessary. Attorney
Smith Was equally emphatic in the claim
that the coroner was the superior officer,
and when the reporter left at 1915 this
morning it look as if Bile and Ever were
left.

A Lesson i'm Finance.

Some years ago there lived in a village which
is now included within the limits of Boston a
blacksmith. He was a master workman, his
custom was large, and the owners of fine horses
for miles around were in the habit of taking
them to Green's to be shod. One day a new
customer, but not a stranger to the old gentle
man, drove up. His name was Blodgett, but he
had passed q season abroad and had returned
considerably Frenchiied, as we'll as Anglieized,
and bis name had been transformed into Blogee.
He wanted a shoe set, and, after the job had
been completed in the usual excellent manner,
he inquired:
Jaw, how much is the change, Mr.. Greengr
The reply came short and sharp, 'Half a
dollar"
'Hawf a dollar! hawf a dollar! Why, WEAKLY,
I've been out of the country so long that l don't
know what hawf q dollar is, don't you know.
answered ME-. Blogee, handing over a dollar
bill.
The blacksmith stood a moment IN speechless
amazement; then thrusting the bill into one
pocket, he brought forth "A quarter from another,
and, handing it over to Blogee with the remark:
II thought every darned fool knew a half dollar
was seventy-fve cents marched back to his
forge.

Asking Favors of Washington Ladies.

Capital Gossip iii Aarper's Bazaar.
Fashionable ladies in Washington receive al
most as many curious letters from total strang-
ers as do Congressman and other officials. A
~favorite request in the past four years on the
part of such writer's has been for pieces oil
dresses for making 'crazy quilts"
The wife of a member of the Cabinet was
asked not only for pieces Of her dresses for a
quilt, but also Cor some of her husbands and the
Presidents neck-ties.
A lady who, owing to her husbands high
official station, has upward of six hundred names
on her visiting-list, and whose social duties are,
therefore, very onerous, actually received a let

near relative, asking if she could dispose Of the

American Song Birds Abroad.
Paris. Morning News.

1t will be a pleasure to a large number of
Americans now in Paris to know that Miss Mary
Johnston, of Washington, will make her debut
soon. She is to sing at the concert which Nine.
Marchesi is to give. at the Sale E,rard, the 18th of
March, for the benefit of the Association des
Artistes Musiciens.
Nearly a fortnight ago Miss Adams. one of
Nine. Marchesis best pupils, returned to Paris,
after a stay Of about two years in Italy, where
she achieved an artistic success. but not a finan-
cial one. Somewhat discouraged, Miss Adams
was on the point of returning to America, when
she was fortunate enough to be promised an
addition by Manager Capvalho. of the Opera
Comique. The date of his hearing her
was fixed for next Wednesday, but last Friday
the talented young lady received a dispatch
from Italy begging her to return at once, as she
was needed for the important role Of Dinorah at
the Teatro Pergola in Florence. After a few
hours hard work with her excellent teacher,
Miss Adams took the train south and will soon
make her temperance in the lovely city on the
banks of the Arno.
Good news comes from Italy of Miss Alice
Neyma, of Chicago. She studied for three years
and sung with success in several concerts. Last
September she departed for the Gland of song,
to make her debut as Giulietta in Donizettis
''Romeo e Giulietta," at the Teatro Nicolini, in
Florence. Later on she sung the role of Norma
in Don Pasquale," and now she is to appear at
the Teatro Pergola as the page Oscar In "Bailo
in MaSehera."

Desperate Battle with Rats.

l.. S. Barden, a well known farmer of the town
of Candor, Broome county, entered e II .sty on
his farm, a few days ago, to make some needed
repairs. AZ the first stroke of his hammer two
large rats ran out of a hole in the floor and at
tackled Mr. Barden. He kicked at one of the ro-
dents, and it set up a loud squealing. In re-
sponse to the cry rats swarmed into the sty
from holes and creviees on every side. They
sprang upon him, ard endeavored to reach his
face. Barden called his dog. a large st. Bernard,
which came promptly up to the spot and
Ieaped In among the little animals. The rats
turned their attention to the dog. and gave Bar

himself with a club, he returned to assist the dog

The Condition of the Emperor Maxilnilian's
Widow.

LOItton WORTH.
The recent death of Colonel Vandevelde is a
great misfortune for the poor distraught En-
press Charlotte of Mexico, who has been under
his care for many years at the Chateau de Bouch-
out, The Empress was greatly attached to Col
onel Vandevelde, and his death has not been an
nounced to her. She has been told that he has
taken a long journey on business for her broth
or, the King of the Belgians. She passes much
of her time at the piano and at her easel, but
since she began to notice the Colonels absence
the Empress has neither played a note nor
touched her pencils. One of the characteristics
Of her malady, however, is lack OF memory, and
it is therefore hoped that in a short time she
will have fogotten her guardian, even as she
seems to have forgottent the whole of her past
existence.
She never speaks Of Macmillan or of Mexico,
nor even of her father, Leopold l., whose favor
lite child she was. OF late years she has become
absolutely indifferent to dress. although in the
earlier years of her insanity she was constantly
occupied with her toilet, and even while she was
living at the Chateau de Tervueren showed a
marked tendency toward coquetry. Sometimes
she would arrange her smartest dresses upon the
chairs. seemingly imagining that she was still
the centre of a court, and would address the
gowns alternately in three or four different Ian
guages.
When a little while ago Maximilian's valet
who was with him to the last-himself became
insane and was taken to Miramar, she fretted
about the poor fellow for a few days, and then
| completely forgot him. The afflicted lady re-
ceiveS the kindeSt treatment from all about her,
and is frequently visited by the King and Queen
of the Belgjans and the Comte de Flandre.

Flowers at the Exposition.
New York Evening Post.

A prominent Flushing ~rosarian now at the
exposition in New Orleans, writes: 'Of the
horticultural and floral departments, alas, 1 can
not say much that is favorable. A magnificent
horticultural building, and scarcely any plants or
flowers in it. The main part of the building has
four rows of tables its entire length, occupied
with apples, oranges, and other fruits from the
different States, The exhibit of tropical fruit
franz Jamaic and Mexico is fine, and that from
Florida is wonderful, every known species
OF oranges, lemons, %citrons, and shaddocks being
Represented. The horticultural building is well
adapted for a grand display; it is on raised
ground and is approached through a broad
avenue of old trees of live-oak. with their far
spreading branches draped with Florida moss,
which gives them a peculiarly weird appearance.
The building is surrounded with beautiful
green grass, with winding walks, and large flower
beds of hyacinths, tulips and Phlox Drummondi,
all in full flower. There are two large beds of
tea roses whict will bloom later. Occupyingth the
main building with fruit entirely is mistake,
as i'll n large conservatory plants and flowers are
looked for instead. One side of the hail is par
titioned off and heated by hot water; this is
filed with orchids and palms from Jamaica,
Mexico and Honduras. The orchids are a cred
liable exhibit, but the other plants placed here
are poor and ordinary. The opposite side of the
building Is taken MP with an immense exhibit of
eaeti. aloes, ETC., very interesting to some indi-
vlduais, but not to the general public.
