AN act that is received with much
appreciation this summer in one of the
shows that are trageling through the
country is the mysterious disappear
ance of lady. While standing in the
presence of the audience she dissolves
into immateriality, and, of course vsn-
ishes from view. The appreciation of
this, however, will be as naught COM
pared with that which will greet this
act when repeated by His Competency
Grover Cleveland, in November. He
will then disappear from the political
stage SO suddenly that the people of
the United States will never know
what has become of him.

formed protective association. en Sat

alton will oppose all candidates ''who
are in favor of prohibition or sump-
tuary laws and who are not definitely
known to be in opposition to the

ISOLATION, however, is to shape politics
in such a manner as to allow the
present Sunday and other restrictive
laws to become a dead letter. The
News, in referring to this says: 1T
is to be hoped that tie voters of the
city will see to it that this programme
is defeated. Particularly is it essential
that the friends-Of good government

IN every pension veto thus far the

money. but anything, no matter what,
that people would give. Among other
things she was given a hoe. She wentto
q market farmer and gardener, hoping to
get something handsome in the way of a
donation. But he was too tight-fisted to
give her anything. Finally she told him
she had a hoe. and asked him to buy that.
hoping to turn it into money. This he
refused to do, but told her she might have
all the potatoes she could dig with the
hoe in one day. Early the next morning
she appeared, hoe in hand. Itwasa good

The farm hands were in her interest, if
the farmer was not. They told her where
the potatoes turned out best. She did
such q good business that the farmer
wanted her to stop, and at noon offered
her $40 to quit. But she did not propose
to quit, but held him to his promise. She

be expected to do. in preference TO Others
who are dealing on a sound basis, work

cling public an extensive letter of credit,
covering about hundred and fifty of
the most prominent places in Europe,
which through the introduction to banks
and bankers of the highest standing,
gives the purchaser of the letter of credit
all the facilities which he may require.

A Man Of misfortune.

Probably few men have experienced as
many serious accidents as Theodore
Gerhinger. who died of appoplcxy. in
Philadelphia recently. Thirty five years
age he was run over by a heavy Cones
toga wagon; five years later he was badly
crushed, it is said. by the elephant
Romeo, and two years after that a horse
kicked him and broke a leg In two places.
Scarcely had ne recovered from the mis-
hap when another horse kicked him and
broke both his legs. About 1880 he was
the victim again Of q vicious horse. In
July, 1885, he fell down stairs, broke his
collar bone and was otherwise injured.
Two years ago he was again kicked by a
horse, and on February Il last he received
severe injuries by falling ont he ice, from
he contracted erysipelas. He had almost
recovered when he received the stroke
Of apoplexy which resulted in his death.
