sTEUBENYILLE GOSSIP.

STEUBENvILLE, Sept. lit is now very
evident that Council will do nothing with
the natural gas question, and the people
will either have to pay the advance de-
manded by the Royal people or discontinue
the use of gas At meeting held Tues
day evening the majority of the members
of the Committee appointed to investigate
the matter found it very convenient not to
pat in an appearance until it was too late
for the Committee to formulate report
which will give more time and enable the
Gas Company to get their new contracts
signed by parties whose old contracts have
expired. Ii this program can be carried
out il will Lesson the opposition. Council
man Basler saw through the scheme and
moved that the Committee be discharged,
which was DONE He then made motion
that the Solicitor be instructed to draw MP
an ordinance limiting the increase to one
per cent on present prices. This motion
was defeated. There are people in this
city mean enough to assert that some men,
bers of Council don't care how much the
price OF gas ia increased because they get
their supply for nothing. OF course this
is not correct, but people will talk.

The Bones Of a Bosnian King.

A CHASTITY but interesting relic has just
been brought t, Sersieqo from where it has
long lain under the shadow Of the Hum
Mountain, pesr Jsitzs; the last King Of
Bosnia, Stephen Tomacsovics, WAS there
laid to rest at the end Of his unhappy life,
and now, when he might have hoped that
his dust would have returned into dust,
his skeleton has been, unearthsd and taken
to Sersjeve, where the different parts are
to be joined together at the museum. The
homes are crumblipg, the ribs are gone, but
Bosnia is determined not to be daunted BY
such petty obstacles in its undertaking to
do honor to its heroes. When the recon-
struction of the skeleton has been accom-
plished, o glass ssrcophagus wilt receive il,
and the last Of, the Bosnian kings will be
laid to rest in the monastery church at
Jaitzs, the ancient town of kings. And
this is done unto the man whom the Bos-
mans delight to honor.

There has been quite 8 connection IN

the Lesgus msguate down to the little
urchin who steals his way into the various
ball grounds almost everybody has been oil
opinion that the Giants had gotten fairly
on to the toboggan slide. Their four
straight defeats at the hands Of the Bos
ton players seemed to convince thousands
that the squirt Of the New Yorks had end
ed and that the pennsnt was rapidly get
ting away bsyond their reach. The Giants
are still first, however. They have good
lead and are likely to remain in the van to
the end.
The battle will be for second place. An
sons men are slowly crawling down the
ladder, while Detroit is as slowly crawling
up. The champions will pass them soon
at the D. esent rate Boston has strength

With regard to the circumstances under
which the thistle was adopted as its en-
blem by the Scottish nation, a CORE
spondent of London Notes and Queries
relates the following tradition: Queen
Scotia had led her troops i'll well-fOught
field, and when the day was won retired
to the rear to rest from her tolls. She
threw herself upon the ground where, as
i'll luck would have it, an enviOus thistle
had elected to grow at the very spot Sc
lected for her repose. Whether the fair
Amazon fought in the national costume
1 know not, but the spInes OF the
offending herb were. sufficiently power
full to penetrate the skin in Il very pain
full manner. 4 proverbial philosopher
mot MI. Upper, think) has declared
that che that stteth upon nettles riseth
up quickly;' and the Same remark
holds good of thistles. Queen Scotia
spraug up and tore the thistle up by the
roots. She was about to cast it from her
with a military but rnladylike express
sion, when it struck her that the prickly
plant would henceforth be ever associated
in her mind with that glorious victory
she had just gained. Her intention was
changed. She placed the thistle in her
caske tand it became the badge OF her
dynasty.
