Who wants to buy a fine old English
castle, dating from Henry Il Such highly
romantic property is now In the market, and
will be sold at auction on the 2lst of this
month in London. Its name is Devices
castle, and it is situated in Wiltshire. As
long ago as ll49 it passed into the possession
of the crown, was given as dover to the
wives of various kings, and thus became en-
titled to the immunities tof royal castle.
Portions of the original structure still re-
main The approach to the castle is through
a battlemented gateway. It is protected by
an ancient moat 1t can boast of a secret
chamber in its ivy tower, of dungeons, of
bear gardens, of Norman gateways, of RAM
part walks, of bastions. The auctioneer's
beautifully illustrated pamphlet, from which
these facts are CLEANED, makes no mention of
a first class ghost, who can a tremendous tale
unfold and can be depended upon to show
himself at regular intervals However, it is
only fair to assume that such ghost goes
with such an estate.-New York Tribune.

The health department of New York city
calls attention to the fact that large pro-
portion of records of births, marriages and
deaths received for filing are written in ami
line inks, which will become iTlegible in a
few years AS the originals are now filed as
received, certificates written in these fugitive
inks will become sheets of blank paper in
eight or ten years, and valuable records will
then be lost 1t is said at the Office of the
registrar of vital statistics that ministers are
more careless in making certificates of mar
riages than the doctors in reporting births or
deaths. On many occasions the blanks have
been filed in with pencil and had to be re-
turned to be written in ink Ministers are
also partial TO eolored inks, unmindful,
doubtless, that the ink will fade away in a
few years
Deputy County Clerk Gilroy said that
many of the papers filed in the county
clerks Office were written with poor ink, but
as a record was made Of nearly everything
filed their value was retained

Mr.. Gilroy, 'for the newspapers to call the

u, lin a letter to MS enclosing the answer
of Miss Willard TO the question, "Must q
white-ribbon woman be a Prohibition
party woman Ply says, MANY have the
impression here that our Union is for the

lard In answering the above question,
says, s'Let 1t be stated for the ten thou
sandth time that while the national w.
g. T. T., and large majority Of the
states, have adopted resolutions pledging
their influence to the Prohibition party,
such allegiance is in no wise obligatory
upon any members Of the W. G. T. IT,,
and in point of fact all political parties
are represented in The ranks of the So
ciety - laimfeld Times.
If that is SO, it is about as absurd a po-
sition as any organization could take. If
the national and "a large majority of the
State" w. G. r. US have ''plcdgod their
influence to the Prohibition party Che

"A prohibition meeting was held in
Lyceum Hall on Monday evening, which
was fairly well attended. Mr.. M. J. Fam
ming, OF Michigan, delivered an address
which showed him to be an orator and an
entertaining speaker He stated that he
didn't know much about the tariff, and
didn't think anybody else did. After
listening to his talk on the tariff question
1t became evident that he was right as to
the first part of his statement. A man
who cannot see that the tariff has any.
thing to do with fixing the rate of wages
In this country, ian assertion made by
him) must be exceedingly ignorant of the
tariff question. High tariff times are
good wage times and low tariff times are
poor wage times. The practical test Of
both kinds Of tariffs on two or three oc
cAsions proves this beyond cavil.
Mr.. Planning did not allow facts to in
terfere with his arguments. He asserted
that the Republican and Democratic
parties were controlled by the rum sellers.
So It appears that when the Republican
party passed the temperance laws 10
Maine, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, New York, etc., they did 1t under
the direction of the rum sellers; that
when Warner Miller, of New York, takes
the stand he does, be is directed to do II
by the rum sellers; and that when the
rum sellers Of New Jersey denounce the
high license and local option law, they
are denounciDg their own legislation.
Consistent and logical Mr.. flaming If
you hadn't have been an orator, you
might have been demagogue.
All the Democrats who were present
were highly delighted.
