A great many strangers were at

magnificent outfit of Masonry which
lay carelessly on the ice-box in the
Depot Hotel, while its owner was
quietly eating his breakfast in the

the property belonged, but what

agreed until the bootblack turned
over the case in which the sword
was encased, and to the astonish-
ment of all present, there, on the re-
verse side, were the letters, "H. G.

Some Freaks OH the Ice by

Some Freaks on the Ice by
u Jersey Editor.
Men who can write their names
while skating on Bonner Lake are
common enough in Truckee.-Re-
publican.
This is nothing wonderful. When
we lived back in New Jersey we
knew an editor there who used to
skate on a pond Just back of the
newspaper Office. We have often
seen him as he glided over the mir
roTed surface OF the pond, on a
bright pair of shining steel skates,
the blades OF which rang ont in the
clear frosty air, tracing editorials on
the black, fresh ice with his right
heel, and punctuating with his left.
He composed with the utmost free
dom as he went along, never paus-
ing for word, and occasionally
throwing in neatly turned joke or
few lines of seasonable poetry.
Indeed, he was an accomplished
skater, and wrote such plain copy
that his typographical force looking
out of the Office windows would put
his work in type as he went along.
He was really obliged to do this, as
he wrote such a poor hand that no
body could read it without shower
of mountain blasphemy, but when
he transcribed his ideas with skates
his work could be easily read two
hundred yards away.
After he had skated out an editor
ial and few local items down on
the pond the printers would divide
it up into takes, like this:
"Bill, you set down to the old
stump"
"Jack, take the copy from the
big tree to the mouth OF the creek"
"Joe, cut off and make para
graph at the saw MILL"
He would lay out his work just
as he he wanted it to appear in the
paper; locsl items on third page,
editorial on second, miscellaneous
matter and advertisements on the
the first and fourth.
The foreman could glance over
the pond and see at once how he
the paper made up. Oc-
casionally he would skim along
over his work for a few hundred
Teet and interllne. but not often.
At night he would food the pond
with another inch of water and
have fresh place to write on next

The New York illustrated
News.

News.
Three of the artists on the Po-
lice Gazette left Richard X. Fox's
employ recently and started a paper
OF their own. They give as their
reason that they were compelled to
assist in the engineering of sporting
frauds on the public, until they be-
came nauseated with the work. The
kilrain-Smith hippodrome broke the
camel's back, and they resigned.
They give a complete expose of the
affair, which was job of Fox's to
gull the public and swindle all
hands. The character of the affair
can be more fully realized when it
is known that Mitchell, Kilrain's
second, was betting 4 to l against
his own man. The new paper is
profusely illustrated, and free from
the dirt and vulgarity that charac-
terizes the old Police Gazette, and
the self adulation of the publisher
does not confront one on every page.
But q square sporting paper is
not wanted in New York or any
where else, as square sporting went
out of date long ago.

printed contains 100 printed pages and last
week an average of 10 pages day was dis
posed of. This rate Of progress. If main
tanned, would enable the Senate to reach a
vote in the legislative days, and If the
confident prediction Of some Republican SEN
ators that the bill will be out of the way be-
fore the holiday recess is to be verified, its
consideration will have to continue at this
rapid rate. But in view Of the efforts of
Messrs. Harris and Mcpherson Of the minor
ity and Mr.. Plumb of the majority to pro-
cure the adoption Of amendments now pend
ing and making allowance for others to be
offered, it is hardly probable ;he measure
will be returned TO the House until after the
Christmas recess. The Union Pacific fund

ternoon at 2 o'clock, but the friends of the
tariff bill expect it to be again postponed

TO ask the Senate to take up the Des MOines

of the famous Murdoch Liquid food. Mr..

introduced, is that of chapel, wherein ali
denominations can meet, and which is estab-
lished in a section where there are no
churches. In addition to that he is about
opening an industrial school for BOYS.
The Annals of Gynacology,a monthly med
ical magazine published in Boston, contains
highly complimentary report of the work
OF the hospital. Speaking of the patients
treated, DR.. K. w. Gushing, author of the
article, says: "The patients treated here
are mostly from the various cities and count

north-eastern part of New York State, per-

was strongly condemned today, and tonight
the city Is a military eneampMent The
civil authorities have practically stepped
down and out and Col. Jones, Of Mont
gomery, with 13 military companies is alb
selutely in charge Of affairs. The Jail is
guarded by State troops with picket lines ex-
tended several squares in every direction,
and at each approach is the frowning
countenance of the Gatling gun. Mounted
scouts are sent at regular intervals to ac-
quaint Jones with the condition of the
public mind and thesprospects Of an armed
rising by the people. The fire bells sound
military alarms and soldiers in uniforms and
armed with Winchester rifles have desolated
the principal street and driven back the
thousands who all day have been looking to-
ward the Jail. The military was ordered out
by Gov. Seay from Montgomery and Col
Jones is In regular telegraphic cor
respondence with the chief executive
Meanwhile citizens not kept within doors
have. congregated in the hotels or on the
street corners and in front Of the bulletin
boards. The streets have been crowded by
living, maddened masses. The walls of the
CITY pear placards OF various kinds, signed
by thousands of people. One rectes at
length the fact that Sheriff Smith butchered
in cold blood some of the best citizens of
birmingham by an act as unprovoked as un-
necessary, and asked for Gov. Seay to imme-
diately relieve him of his duties as sheriff.
Another by its side reads: This is to hang
him, and was signed by thousands of pass
ers by. Great excitement was caused by a
funeral cortege, passing through the princi-
rat nlgnway, OF one of the victims Of last
nights affray The lengthy procession was
headed by brass band playing solemn
dirges. The post office building Is draped In
mourning and makes a mute appeal to every
passer by.
During the day, Capt. Perton Bbb In
charge of the Montgomery Blues advised
that the military take Smith and Hawes out
OF the Jail and take them to Montgomery,
away from the scenes of the riot and for
safe keeping. This was not acceded to by
the officers in charge, there being no civil
steps to that end. During the afternoon a
rumor became widespread that 1900 miners
from tne Pratt mines, about five miles
from birmingham, would tonight march
to the city armed with guns, pistols and
dynamite cartridges, and with the increase
to their ranks expected, assault the soldiers,
and with dynamite blow the jail to atoms.
That such will be attempted Is expected even
by the militia, though a successful finale Is
not anticipated. Already ten military
companies are on duty and more
will arrive about midnight The City Council
tonight ordered that all saloons and drug
stores be closed until further notice.
