 Gentlemen: - hereby respectfully tender you my resignation as President of your League.
 My reason for so doing is that l am not in accord with the sentiment of a majority of the League in regard to a rigid boycott.
 My sentiments on the Chinese ques- tion have undergone no change, and l am ready and willing at all times to as sist by all lawful and peaceful means in the eviction of the Chinese, but do not endorse the extreme measures adopted by your Executive Committee, and therefore cannot work in harmony with you. Respectfully yours,

She Washing Problem solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done The force of this argument has been re- moved by modern invention--the "Lit- tie Joker" washing machine. This ma chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thirds of the time and three -fourths of the labor. It washes clean and saves wear of clothes. Call and inspect it. Mrs. Grant, agent. American Lodging House, Toughnut street, next door to Court House, Tomb stone, If

Strangely Poisonous Lizards.

The heloderma is the only poisonous
lizard in the world, as far as is known.
and is confined to Mexico, Lower Cali
fornia and Arizona. The common
name is the ella monster. The poison
comes from poison glands, and the
teeth are channeled to accelerate its
passage into the wound. Brandy and
whisky are generally antidotes to rat
tlesnake poison, but fail in the case of
bite from this reptile. The poison of
the heloderma is entirely different from
that of snake. The latter kills by
paralyzing the respiratory center,
while the poison of the ella monster
paralyzes the heart. Experiments
have been made showing that subcu-
taneous injections cause no local in
jury while the action of the heart was
seriously affected, becoming slowly
contracted, while the spinal cord is
paralyzed.-SaA Lake Tribune.

Pretty Materials.
The new parasols are odd, elegant,
simple, fantastic, large and small to
suit individual taste. The most ex-
pensive are known as the Princess of
Wales parasols, and are made of the
richest Lyons satin, both plain and
brocaded, white or delicately tinted
and edged with lace, in the most
lovely thread-patterns some of which
is eight and ten inches deep. The
Vatican parasols are of white cream
silk, lined with pink or blue surah, and
brocaded with carnations, rose buds,
geranium blossoms, blue bells and the
like. The Moresque orMika, parasols
have the canopy tops, with ribs curv-
ing outward at the point, and coaching
styles are made of satin striped with
velvet, the stripes running both up and
down and across the circumference OF
the parasol, thus making a network of
stripes and producing a rich comming-
ling of handsome colors. Plain satin
coaching parasols are covered with
lace canvas or etamine fabrics in red,
blue, golden brown, beige, olive and
fawn color, and foulard parasols in
ecru, dove color and other neutrals in
monochrome are made gay with effect
i've borderings embossed in Persian de-
signs and colorings. White foulard
parasols, polka-dotted or otherwise
figured, are lace trimmed and lined
with a color matched to the figure.
Black satin parasols are brought out
lowered or striped with Jet embroidery.
In sun umbrellas, red, marine blue and
olive are very popular, and from Paris
come red satin and dark green rain
umbrellas warranted water-proof.-N

The Peculiar Amusement OF Two Ag-
grieved Colored Gentlemen.
There were three of us walking over
the battlefield of Chickamauga, when
we met colored man in the woods with
an old army musket ON his shoulder.
When asked what game he was after he
replied:
'Tze lookin' fur pusson named Joe
Peasly, an when sot eyes on him he's
gwine to drop!"
whats Joe been doing?"
HE stole my wife away. Tze been
layin' fur him desc las sixteen vars"
You have been long time getting
mad about it."
Oats fack, but Tze mad now"
He dropped behind, and pretty soon
we encountered second colored man.
He also had a musket on his shoulder
and tragic look on his face
''After squirrels?" was asked, as he
halted.
mo, sab! TIE arter pusson named
Sam Benham, an when | sot eyes on
him he kin say far'well to dis world!"
whats Sam been doingp"
'Run'd off wild my wife, sab. IZe
bin hunt'r' him for ober fifteen y ars. "
We passed along, and about ten minutes
later the two old muskets began to pop.
The fuslade was kept up for quarter
of s,n hour, and then there was deep
silence. When we crcled around and
struck the highway we saw one man
logging it up the road and the other
down, while a white man nodded to us
from his seat on log and said:
II had to come down and stop it.
They have kept this thing up every day
for the last six months, ana the frs
thing they know they'll hurt eacf

flock of ducks light down in the pond

A Clever Reporter.

Her Majesty Queen Victoria is not
partial to journalists as a class. But
her determination to exclude anything
in the shape of newspaper representa-
tive from the recent circus performance
at Windsor Castle was frustrated by one
enterprising journalist, who dressed
himself up as groom and held up
paper hoops for the equestriennes TO
jump through. This dauntless individ-
ual had a narrow escape, for his very
literary-looking spectacles did not favor
the impression that he was circus
groom and were the subject of royal
suspicion and remark.-N. Y. World.

SUCCESSFUL ECONOMY.
How a Pennsylvania Manufacturer Laid
the FouSdation of His Prosperity.

How Pennsylvania Manufacturer Laid
the FouH of His Prosperity.
1t is really worth while for the wage.
worker to save, although the process
has become so questionable among
men of fixed incomes that to follow it
is regarded almost as a mark of eccen-
tricity. The path to influence and in
dependence for the toiler begins and
steadily follows on the line of small
economies applied in daily life. Ten
years ago, in Pennsylvania manufac-
turing town, a machinist went home
one evening and said to his wife: II
am tired of this work for others, and
We'll turn over a new. 1 get three
dollars day. Now, we will put away
ten dollars week, and live on the
rest. If we can't live on il well
starve on it," He carried out his de-
termination. In two years he had one
thousand dollars in bank. With this
he began business for himself in
small way, capital was attracted by
his energy, and now he is at the head
OF one of the largest manufacturing
concerns in his section, rich, prosper
GUS and respected. What this man
did was nothing of supreme difficulty.
A strong, resolute will and fixed pur-
pose were all that were needed after
his determination became fixed. Whv
should not such an example attract the
attention of other wage-workers,
equally able and of like mental quail
tiesp 1t is only the beginning that
costs; after that the task of self-eleva-
ton becomes easier with each day
