Burmese Lady's cigar Case.
[Cor. st. ia res' G lzette. !


The Burmese smoke to a man, to a
woman, might almost say to a child.
] was physician in chief to those under
me, and l soon learned to rely upon it
that when patient gave up smoking he
or she was really i'll. The Burmese
ladies have very peculiar cigar case.
But there are two objections to its ever
becoming popular here, of which the
less important is that each cigar case
only holds one cigar. And then the
cigar case is the lady's ear. Instead of
wearing ordinary earrings, the Burmese
women have large hole in their ears
and wear a cheroot in it till wanted.
The really great advantage of this cigar
case is that it is never left behind. The
men would think it beneath their dig
nifty to carry cheroots in this manner,
but they do not mind helping them
selves from the wife's case. When the
king of kings wants TO keep his women
folk together or to punish them, he
strings them, so to speak, by the ear. A
long cane is passed through the holes
made for cheroots, a dozen women OF
evenmo re going to one cane.

A prairie dogs trap is ingenious.
Place headless barrel over the prairie
dogs hole, and half fill it with tine
sand. The little turnover will soon
scratch his way to the top of the sand
But the fine sand falls into the hole and
fills it up, and it can not dig another

can he climb up the sides of the barrel.
All he can do is to reverse the familiar
lines OF Virgil, and exclaim: The

Social Events of Last Week.

Last week seems to have had an un-
usual run of social entertainments.
We noticed in last issue the tenth wed
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Levi
Anthony which their friends surprised
them with on Tuesday evening. The
next evening there were two events of
social interest but in different direc-
tiOns-the Hop at the Opera House
attended by the lovers of the dance in
cluding guests from elsewhere, kept up
until 2 o'clock, including refreshments
at II o'clock, and, a real surprise party
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
A. Hoffecker.
The occasion was their fifth wedding
anniversary, the exact date of which
seems to have been in the minds of
their friends more than their own.
The visitors went with loaded baskets
Of provisions for their own table com
fort, and TO the number of fifty or sixty
passed pleasant social evening until
late hour. One of the features of the
evening was the presentation to Mr..
and Mrs. H. of a handsome antique
oak rocking chair; Mrs. H. also re-
ceiVing from her mother and sister a
pretty wall cabinet. Clifford, their lit
tie four year old, had been promised a
birth day party two days subsequent.
and was thus a sharer in to him two
large events the same week.
Friday evening, was also a real sur
prise, the recipient of the compliment
being Miss Bertha Price, daughter of
Thomas Price, recently removed to this
town from CeciltOn, Md. To the num-
ber of between thirty and forty young
people they took possession of the
house and made the time pass pleas
antly, including the serving of refresh
ments until late bed time.

and Benz. Q. Collius, noted in our last
issue as coming off on that night, was

Der of guests and the usual wedding
accompaniments Miss Mable ThOmp.
son played the wedding March. The
bride was robed in cream surah silk
with chantilly lace trimming and was
the recipient of many handsome and
useful presents.
The following articles, which we did
not know at the time of noting the sur
prise Of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony. were
presented by their friends: A beauti-
ful easy chair, of cherry, elaborately
carved an elegant hand painted tile
umbrella stand a black silk umbrella,
with gold mounted handle; silver fruit
knives, numerous pieces Of fancy work,

Death of Isaac shortman.

|. K. ShOrtmau died on Saturday
night at his residence in this town in
the 77th year of his age. He had been
attending to business as usual and pro-
ceeded to shut up his store at II
O'Clock. His wife who was not well
and had gone up stairs heard a noise
below and coming down found Mr.
Shortman In a choking condition a
doctor was sent for but he was dead in
half hour, the cause being congestion
OF the lungs. He came to this town near
ly thirty years ago and engaged in the
clothing business, buying out Samuel
Ellerman. he came here shortly after
his arrival from Germany His real
name was Isaac Kurzman, but from his
low stature he got almost universally
Shortman, and feeling it an unneces-
sary conflict in trying to keep up two
names, he finally settled down on the
latter, retaining the Kurzman for his
middle name.
Alter being here some twelve or (if
teen years he drifted in the saloon busi
ness until his license was taken from
him, retiring after this for severa
years to the farm of his wife's father
John Jacob Seen, near MOortOn. Mr.
Shortman was a man of good mind
social and kindly in his Temperament
and twenty years ago was an activ,
and leading member of both the Ode
Fellows and society of Masons. FoI
the last ten years he had little or moth
ing to do with public matters. Las
summer he lost his only son, Solomon
approaching manhood, which was o
course a great grief, and few week
ago his father-in-law. Mr.. Shortmar
had a nephew in New York we hear. ,
successful lawyer, who has EXTENDED
to the family many kindnesses. H,

His remains will be inferred this after

"Let It Pass"

Our cOtemporary, the Record, would
hardly we think have written that
playful article about the fire in Dover
two weeks since if the editor had
known it would have kicked up such a
rumpus. No allowance seems to have
been made for editorial license such as
young writers often indulge in not in
dOvetailing solid facts, but in giving
free rein to fancy in drawing a picture
for simple entertainment. Our Dover
friends evidently saw covert refec-
ton under this exuberance of fancy
painting which widened out to a much
larger proportion than the editor.
Especially was this the case with the
Inder writer. The worst of the harm
less effusion was, it thus compromised
our Citizen Hose Company who en-
tertain nothing but the kindest feeling
for those of the Robbins Hose Com
pany, of Dover, and are the farthest
from anything like hostile criticism
There is not one of them we are assur.
ed who does not condemn and regret
the article, and as expressed to us
they think when the fool killer u
comes along the Record man will be the
first appTised of his coming.

HORACE DAVID, of Thoroughfare
Neck, brought to the Office of B. B.
Allen this morning an animal which
he killed last February and had stuffed,
grey fur, slim legs and tail, but a
plump round body the size of terrier
dog. When discovered the cattle were
after it in the field and it would at
times sit on its launches and strike
with its paws. He was at loss to
know what it was, never having seen
anything like it, but several of our citi
zens who claimed to know pronounced
it ground hog. This animal is not
common and known to our people only
in name.
DIR. DWIGHT was called to Leipsic
on Monday afternoon to assist DR..
Richardson in a surgical case involv-
ing the loss of an eye. The unfortu-
nate subject was John Scotten, a
young man about 81 years old. He
was at work in the canning factory
and undertook to melt the lead out OF
an old gun barrel containing powder, a
fact he was ignorant of, the heat caus-
ing a discharge of the contents, send.
ing one shot through the sight of the
left eye and burrying several others in
the cheek and nose. The eye bal
was not removed as was first thought
necessary, leaving for the next several
days to determine the absolute neces
sity for this. Mr.. Scotten married the
daughter of Robert Rawley living wesr

minstrels will give an entertainment
in the Opera House on Monday of
