A Sure Sign.

When Addison Csmmack got ready to
be married, says the New York Times,
there were few of his friends that
placed much faith In the stories OF his
intentions, and one day last summer up
at Saratoga, some Of the chief men of
Wall street were the piazza of the
United States Hotel discussing the
gossip about Mr.. Csmmack, when of a
sudden the bear leader doomed up In
person before them. He vast alone.
A handsome lady was by his side. But
even this innovation in Mr.. Cammack's
promenading habits didn't 90 far
toward convincing anybody that
Addison was on the verge OF being a
benedict till william II. Vanderbilt,
bringing his easy chairs legs down with
thump, said this: "Cammack is going
to be married. III wager 100 to on It.
Do you notice that he is carrying the
lady's shawl on his arm. That is a sure
sign, gentlemen, an unerring sign.
When a man gets that far he's gone.

THE KID" DEMOCRATS
Hold Rousing Meeting and Favor
Straight Nominations.

Hold a Rousing Meeting and Favor
Straight Nominations.
The Democratic Union club held a
large meeting last night and unani-
mously adopted the following address TO
democratic voters:
To the Democracy of BeNar County:
GESTLEMEN:-We hand you herewith
a copy OF our constitution and bylaws
and trust that the political sentiments
expressed therein will meet your hearty
approval. We are organized 10 the in
terest of no lone man," ring" fac
ton" or cushion" but in the interest
OF the democracy OF BeXar county: and
our creed Is straight nominations,
straight candidates and straight cleo
lions. A fusion" "hotch-pOtch" or
compromise" ticket represents neither
party nor principle; 1t is irresponsible
and nndeserving the support Of all dem
ocrats and republicans who believe that
the standard bearers OF each party
should unfurl their party principles TO
the public gaze, and stand or fall upon
those principles. There are standard
democrats Of honor and ability within
our ranks, available for all the officers
within our own ranks, available for all
the officers within the gift OF the people,
provided the fruits of the office and their
toll shall not be swamped in campaign
funds, and they themselves made par
ties to the bartering OF public trusts.
We invite every democrat in every pre-
oinOt In the county to join our club and
cooperate with us In uphOlding our
constitution and in purging politics of
its fraud and corruption.
The democratic primaries are called
for Saturday, the 18th inst, and we en-
join you to attend those primaries, side
track the "rifi-rafi7' and "hurrah" ele-
ment and send your best material to cur
county convention. Let us then nomi-
nate n democratic ticket representing
democratic principles, and carry it
proudly and honestly on to democratic
victory.

The Saratoga Walk.

The Saratoga walk is said to be the
latest fashionable gait for women. One
who describes 1t says that "the first
re qulsites is to throw your shoulders
back, the chest forward, chin up and
stomach in, and the walk. wriggling
head limbs, body, and especially hustle.
The aim Is to secure a series of rev.
olutions which shall be simultaneous,
but opposite. In simple brevity. If your
head moves right your body must move
to the left, before your foot reaches the
in night dress before q mirror. The
part Of the business most difficult to
master Is the position OF the stomach.

Wauted to Chgnap pyncos

The Washington Capital tells this
story of a little fellow who wanted to
change places, notwithstanding the exal-
tered inducements offered to remain.
During the terrific thunder storm that
came W the city last week a little
eight-year-old boy living in the northern
part of the town was awakened, and
called his mother, who was sitting in the
drawing-room down stairs. She sat
with him d while, and told him he need
have no fear, because God took care of
little boys, and would not let the light
ming hurt them. @But God is away up
in heaven said the child. Eyes, re-
piled the mother, esbut he is here, too.
He is staying right in the room with you.
He can protect you, but ! cannot. AS
long as God. is here you need not be
afraid The child was quoted, and
the mother left him and went back to
the drawing-roonl. Pretty soon there
came another deafening clap of thunder,
when the boy, crawling out Of bed, came
to the head Of the stairs and called again:
What do you want Georgea' asked his
mother. HYou come up here and stay
with God i while, and let ME 90 down
stairs was the reply.

ALpfRe Tunnels.

The Alps are at the present time
pierced by three long tunnels, two en-
tering Italy from France and Switzerland
respectively, and the third connecting
the latter with the Tyrol, and called,
according to the mountain chains
that are traversed, the Mont Gents. st.
Gothard, and Ariberg tunnels. OF these,
the Mont Gents, tunnel is seven and three
quarter miles in length. Its cost was
SIS, 000, 900. The st. Gothard tunnel is
nine and a quarter miles in length, and
cost $12. 800, 600, the diminution i'm ex-
pense being owing principally to the
more rapid progress of the work by i'm
provements in the drilling machines.
The Ariberg tunnel is shorter than those
Of Mont Gents or Gothard, being only
six and q half miles. Its cost, with the
railway, was 81, 400, 600. A fourth tun-
mel, and a most formidable rival to Mont
Gents and St. Gothard tunnels will be
simplon tunnel, by which the existing
line from Geneva to Martigny and Breigg
will be carried through the mountains
to Duomo d'ossola, and SO on to Pail
anzo or streza, on the Lago Maggiore.
AS this tunnel will be commenced at a
much lower level than any of the others,
It will necessarily be longer, the rough
estimate being twelve and a half miles,
and the probable cost about $40, 900, 900.
