Meeting Of citissns at the Court
House.

A public meeting of citizens was held
at the court house eu Tuesday evening,
upon short notice. A fair representation
Of our citizens were present. D. D.
Buunell was chosen chairman aud j. W.
Poe secretary. The object Of the meet
ing was stated TO be the consideration Of
a telegram from w. H. Holcomb, gen
eral manager Of the .. X. & N, com.
pany, wanting to know how much Of the
right Of way, for u railroad, would be
secured, between Riparia and Lewiston,
in case tho company would obIigate
themselves to build aud complete rail-
road between these points within twelve
months. This was abbrevia.ing the
time one half, from that proposed BY
Mr.. Watt. The matter was quite fully
discussed, aud resulted in the selecting a
committee Of two persons, Robert Gros.
teiu and D. NJ. White, to go down Ii.
river as far as they thought advisable and
ascertain the difficulties, if any, in sccur.
ing the right Of way, and the secretary
was instructed to notify Mr.. Holcomb
that We had the matter under cousidera
tion. and when our committee had 10.
ves'igated and reported We would b.
better able to give him an intelligent
answer, and then the meeting adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.

we're but four senators present, and an.
other had sent word that he Was 10 favor
of it, which would give a majority.
Stewart objected to sending for Cullom,
because, he being q friend Of Delegate

lom was finally seat. for, however, and
he did object, and strongly, aud Gach to
his own aud tie surprise of Stewart,
Senator Turpie ssreed with him. This

may make a minority report, but the

Village Destroyed by Ice.

Advices from the fishing village OF
Kerschkaranza, in Kola, a peninsula
on the White Sea, describe a wonder
ful phenomenon, new in Attic annals,
which took place on January last
At four o'clock in the morning the in
habitants were awakened by a series
of heavy, dull detonations, like heavy
artillery. Shortly afterward a great
ice wall to the northwest, several hun
bred feet high, was seen to be NOV
ing toward the village, doubt
less in consequence Of the pressure OF
the ocean of ice outside. The ice hills
came slowly but irresistibly onward
and passed over the village, which they
completely erased, and kept onward
for a mile inland. The ice travelled a
mile and half in four hours. The
villagers saved their lives, but little
else. PhilddeLDhiG Press.

''How do know that man had something
the matter with his right earl" repeated a
Delaware street aurist with whom reporter
was talking. "Why, because he told me so.
Didn't you see him do it!'
The reporter confessed that he had not
heard the man make any remark as he passed
he window where the aurist and the visitor
were sitting.
"Well, he did it. Out there on tbA corner
of my house have little tin sign contain
ing my name, beneath which are the words,
Eye and Ear Now, it is very strange
phenomenon, but nine men out Of ten who
are troubled with Affections of the eye or
ear will reveal the location of their disease
when they see that sign. They do it uncon-
sciously. A man passes in a deep brown
study. He is oblivious of everything. Even
the direction and style of his gait are me-
chanical. When he is opposite at sign he
is mechanically reminded that Is interested
in j: and he begins to investigate the magni-
tude of his interest. Ii his eye is sore he will
rub it; if hs wears glasses he will take them
off and wipe them, or if his hearing is bad
he will put his hand to his ear 1t is all me
chanically done. Tha man to whom called
yo,lr attention put his hand to his right ear
when he saw the sign. The demonstration
is freak Of nature which shows that we can
never become so engrossed in anything as to
be regardless Of ourselves. n-Indianapo

BARGAINING AT ROME.
How Buying and Selling Is Carried On

How Buying and Selling Is Carried On in
italian Shops.
The real method of business here
where the mornings shopping is the
chief interest of the day to the natives,
is to offer One-quarter or one-third of
the price named. Il paid twice that
price myself" says the bOoth-holder.
Then you were very foolish and got
cheated, or you are making a mistake
and saying francs when you mean
sous" retorts the would-be purchaser.
ION my honor l can not let you have
it under fifteen francs; should be rob-
bing my family. May l be struck
dead if it is not true." Il am very
sorry, shall not give more than four
francs"
Here the buyer moves off and begins
examining the goods at another stall.
That ''fetches" the seller at once
Here, make another Offer he
cries, running after you and pulling
you back by the sleeves. Say twelve"
-Four" Say ten" -Four! Don't keep
me, I am busy, and don't really want
your goods "Say eight; I am running
myself for love of you, even at that. "
Look here. PHI give youfour and half
francs" Make it five and you shall
have it." Very WE'LL" and off goes
the purchaser with the coveted rug or
Jar for one-third the price asked, to be
caught at the next stall and go through
the performance again.
1t is not only at the fair that buying
and selling is carried on in this fashion
every yard of stuff a lady buys, ex-
cept at one or two large shops which
have adopted the English system of
fixing prices, every pound of meat the
cook gets for dinner, every thing in
fact, is haggled over in the same man
ner A confidential shopman showed
me the other day the system by which
it is carried on. In his establishment
he has given orders that foreigners
were to be asked the real price, as he
knows by experience that they do not
ike bargaining. But each piece Of
goods was marked in cipher, for the
benefit of Romans, with two prices,
one to be asked, the other to be ac-
oepted. For" he said, ''our ladies
never feel as though they had got
Il good thing unless they had beaten
down the price. They don't like it.. ~

IN A LIONS DEN.
a Welsh Professional Boxer MingIes With
Savage Beasts.


Savage Beasts.
An announcement made by the crier
the other evening that man named
William Samuels, a local innkeeper
and the champion boxer of Wales,
would enter alone a den of lions at a
menagerie, located at Swansea, caused
considerable excitement in the town,
and drew great crowd to the show.
At nine o clock the band played For
He's a jolly Good Fellow and then
Samuels, accompanied by Mr.. Bostock,
the manager Of the show, walked up
to den containing a lion and about a
dozen Honesses. A great crowd at
once assembled round the cage. Mr..
Bostock mounted platform and in
formed the public that his old friend
Samuels had volunteered to per-
form a deed of daring such as had
never been done in the menagerie since
it's establishment in 1905. Mr.. White
head, he said, recently at Cardiff,
entered the cage accompanied by Nine.
Saliva, the lion-tamer, and had by his
action caused a great sensation in South
Wales. But Samuels was going to sur
pass this feat, for though urged to let
Nine. Saliva accompany him, he de-
clined to enter the den at all unless
allowed to do so alone. This he was
now about to do.
The announcement was received with
great cheering, though it was evident
that, on the part of many present, there
was feeling of considerable anxiety
and alarm. Samuels, however, seemed
to share none of these feelings OF I'M
easiness. Attired as a prize-fghter
and with blue rosette on his breast,
he appears at the entrance OF the cage,
and, eudgel in hand, boldly entered 1t,
The lions appeared in no way to relish
this intrusion, and it looked as though
Samuels would have had warmer
welcome than he bargained for. Pos
sessed apparently with nerves OF steel,
the man walked undaunted up to the
end of the cage where the animals were
huddled together, awaiting only the
slightest encouragement to spring on
the intruder, and held his cudgel
threateningly before the nose of the
fiercest. Growls of rage greeted this
act; but Samuels, in no way discom
posed, walked among the animals. and
made them fly right and left before
him. This he did several times, and
on one occasion acted so rashly that
grave fears were entertained for his
safety by those in charge of the exhi-
bition. These-who as precautioE
were armed with red hot irons-were
ready to act promptly, when Samuels
again obtained the mastery over his say
age companions, and showed his fear
lessuess of them by firing loaded pistol
in their faces. Then, his courage
maintained to the last, he went to the
gate of the den and waited in a dan
gerous position while Mr.. B0stock
presented him, amid the cheers Of those
present, with a unique chain composed
of spade and crown, and with a certifi-
cate recording the fact that he had ac-
complished his purpose. Immediately
afterward the band played 'See the
Conquering Hero Comes" and Samuels
was borne in triumph out of the men
agerie and through the streets.-SOuth

BORN A FOREIGNER.
An Amusing Incident in the Experience of
a shanghai Missionary.


A Chinaman seems to combine with
fear of spirits a marvellous faith in
their stupidity, as is witnessed by the
expedients he adopts to circumvent
and deceive them. He apparently at
tributes to them, among other things,
a curious incapacity for recognizing
their claims upon their own people if
only they can be got to enter upon
their spiritual existence upon the prem
ises of others. In such case the pen
atty of any neglect will most probably
he visited on these latter unfortunate
persons. 1t is they who had better pro-
vide the funeral and pay the expense
of it, lest the spirit, starved and
piqued, should return to the place
whence he had set out to wreak his
vengeance. An incident that occurred
in the experience of a Shanghai mis-
sionary somewhat amusingly illus
trates a bold attempt to remove alto
gether the risk that men ordinarily
provide against by their ancestor wor-
ship: The missionary was sitting, one
cold winter evening, at his study table.
A servant came in and informed his
master that q dead man had been found
in the garden. The missionary went
out to look into the matter Sure
enough, under the wall of the garden
lay human body, loosely covered
over with straw. An economical fam
lily had evidently brought the dying
man and laid him there that they
might save themselves the expenses of
the funeral by throwing them on
the foreign missionary, and the
ruling passion Of thrift had further
dictated the substitution OF cover
ing of straw for his personal cloth
ing. The missionary felt the body
all over and found it already cold; but,
on the chance of their being life left,
he had it carried indoors, where he
poured down its throat dose OF pat
4nt medicine in which he had great
faith, at the same time ordering more
straw to be thrown upon it. he then
returned to his study. Some time la
ter he thought he would go and seq
how his corpse patient was getting on.
On this second examination he fancled
he detected faint sign OF life IN the
region of the heart. More Of the pat
ent medicine was given and more
straw. To make long story short,
5he dead man came to life again and
stood up in all the naked dignity OF
his manhood Well, the missionary,
who was particularly tall and large
man, rugged out the little Chinaman as
