a newspaper man could create in a commun-
ity if he were to some day write up all the
gossip he runs across in his rounds, and
how many men he would have waiting
for him at the Office with clubs and pistols
the next day. 1t would make 'interestin'
readin, but that is just where it would
overdo itself, and some people would want
the newspaper mans gore. So lots OF
breezy little scandals, nicely laid political
schemes and other spicy matters are con-
signed to oblivion and never get beyond
the ears of few.
will tell something, though, that
heard young gentleman, who Is quite
musician, say last evening, and In my
humble opinion he is about right. he re-
marked that he would never, no never
again sing at an entertainment with wnlcn
a supper or bazar was connected. be
cause said he, while you are doing your
little act a parcel of kids are running
around in front of you. laughing and
shouting, or some one is jamming dishes
and tin pans about in another part OF the
house. Possibly you can tell what you
are doing, or trying to do, hut 1t Is doubt
full if any one else can. OF course, this Is
not always the case, but it occurs too Of
ten to suit me.
had the pleasure yesterday, OF meet
ing Mr.. II. F. Frease, editor Of the
Canton, Ohio, Repository Mr.. Frease IN
addition to pleasure, came down 10
Wheeling to see her fire brick paved
streets. He says Canton is thinking oil
adopting the fire brick block, and already
n well known brick maker is erecting
plant for their manufacture, just outside
Of Canton where there is acres OF excellent
fire clay Just suited fol, the purpose. Mr..
Frease has great hopes for the future OF
Canton. The Duber Watch Company is
erecting its factory there, and anumber OF
other industries have decided to locate IN
the city. He says the population will be
increased 1000 inside ola year, when Can
ton will rank ahead of Dayton or Akron.
The Pennsylvania railroad company, l
see, intend running hotels on wheels over
their roads They have within the past
few days given an order to the Pullman
Palace car company, for the construction
of seventeen ears to be built at the COM
pany's works, at Pullman, Ill. They are

| learn that Mr.. P. 3. Dobbins will not
accept the nomination on the Repuollcan
ticket for Mayor. He isn't after empty
honors, but probably prefers something
more substantial in the shape OF the
sherifalty. A better Republican could
not be found in the city for that office.
| have heard of all sorts of tlirtations,
but the thoroughbreds of Boston have gone
the usual snap a cultured better. Ihe
science of flirting has been made by them
80 reduced to an intellectual pursuit that
| il throws anagrams and all their relations
quite out in the cold. 1t is an especially
delightful pastime since the theater Is Its
absolute field of action. 1t takes clever
fellow to start it, because he must pick out
the mashee with great tact, and
it takes o girl of keen apprecia-
ton, as well as Willingness
to catch on. Having chosen your girl, you
make sure that her escort is her brother or
disinterested party who won't tumble to
il also. Then when q sentence from the
stage comes that will carry message from
YOU to her, you give her a tender glance.
Ifshe is a clever girl she sees your pretty
game at once, and don't hesitate to send
YOU back q despatch from her bright eyes
az soon as the author and the actor will
voice it for her. It's great sport If You
don't make q mistake in the girl, and IS as
intellectual rs even Boston could desire.
Ii is the real cultured article.
| / hear it whispered that q number OF
our society ladies and gentlemen, among
whom there is great deal Of talent, both
musical and dramatic, intend giving, In
the near future, an entertainment in the
shape of q very swell society melO-drama,
or something on that order. They have
selected one, it is said, in which bridal
march occurs, which will be given in grand
style, by number of our young ladies
and gentlemen in full evening dress, i'm
agine it could be made o beautiful sight
and hope these enterprising people will
succeed in materializingr their plan.
