More Riotlng Between a BouIanglst

PARIS, April 29th.-On Saturday night a
crowd of Boulangists collected outside the
Students Club, where three hundred stu

cred at the windows, and on hearing shouts
for Boulanger fired four revolver shots into
the crowd Nobody was injured, but the
people were so angered that they forcibIy

threatened to become serious. Finally a

dispersed the mob. A few persons were
injured. The excitement continues.

The Eleventh Census.

A bill has been passed by congress
providing for the eleventh census, to
be taken in 1890. The bill differs de-
cidedly from that passed for the tenth
census, economizing in the range of
work, and the publishing, but prOvid
ing for a larger staff of employees, made
necessary by the increased population.
The census bureau will include, by the
provisions of this bill, a superintendent
at a salary of $4,000 year, a chief clerk
at $4,000, two stenographers, two chiefs
of division, and disbursing clerk at
$4,000, ten clerks of class 4, twenty of
class 3, thirty of class 2, with such
number of clerks of class ], copyists
and computers, at salaries of not less
than 1920, nor more than $1,000, as
may be found necessary for the proper
and prompt computation and publica
ton of the census. Besides this staff
of bureau employees, there are to be not
more than Us supervisors of the CEN
sus, appointed by the president with
the advice and consent of the senate,
who shall divide their districts into
Subdivisions most suitable for purpOs-
es of enumeration, designate the emu
one for each sub division,
and be responsible for the work of the
in their districts.

An American Fire Engine Abroad.
Firemen's Herald

FremenS Herald.
Joseph Arthur took over the white
horses and real fire engine made by
the best firm in America when he pro-
duced his "Still Alarm" at the Princess
Theatre here, says Il correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times. John Vischer,
an old fellow who left New Haven,
Ct, for the first time i'm his life last
year to take charge of the horses in
"The Still Alarm" American tour last
season, accompanied his equine charges
to England.
Horses and engine were transported
in safety to the steamer Helvetian, and
landed at the Royal Albert docks, |
think, or at least at some port of the
London docks, to get from which to
the Princess necessitated crossing half
London, including the toughest part
of the East End
Vlscher, in the centre of an admiring
circle Of 'lOngshOremen, harnessed the
horses, who were as playful as kittens,
and as manifestly glad to get ashore as
e'er was seasick maid or man, and then
mounted the box and drove out of the
dOckyard, amid the cheers of the by
ISLANDERS. Not Il soul seemed to have
clear idea what the machine with the
polished boiler and silver-plated val
YES was. 1t certainly bore no resem-
blance to the English fire engine,
which is not such handy article as
an American hearse painted red.

burly stevedore to companion.

Ancient Thanksgiving Days.
November Table Talk.

Thanksgiving day was suggested,
doubtless, by the Hebrew feast of the
tabernacles, or " feast of ingathering
at the end of the year" Its history in
America begins as early as 1921. The
occasional observance of such Il day.
formally recommended by the civil
authorities, was not unusual in Europe
at an earlier date. In Holland the first
anniversary of the deliverance of the
city of Leyden from the siege, October
3, 1873, was kept us religious festival
of Thanksgiving and praise. In the
English church service, the fifth of
November is so celebrated, in com
memOration of the discovery of the
gunpowder plot.
One of the most remarkable Thanks
giving customs on record prevailed in
southampton and EasthamptOn, Long
Island. Montauk Point, which CON
sists of 5000 acres, was owned by
numerous prOprietOrs in these towns,
and used us common pasturage for
stock. The time of driving the herds
home to winter was fixed at a meeting
by the town council, "and it came"
says the historian, "tO be rule from
the period beyond which the memory
of man runneth not, that the Thursday
of the week following the return of the
cattle from MOntauk should be observ-
ed as a day of thanksgiving"
AT an early period of New England
history, certain periods of prosperity
were often made the occasions of pub
lie thanksgivings, or feasts, and often
a day of fasting and prayer was turn
ed into day of thanksgiving by what
seemed an immediate answer to their
prayers. Perhaps, to recall to our
minds that first Thanksgiving of the
Pilgrim Fathers may put US to the
blush. Often on this day have | heard
such remarks as 81 have no thanks to
give; [ have nothing for which to be
thankful" from lips that it would seem
might have had a life's work in franz
ing words of praise and gratitude. so
blessed were they in the health of
themselves and their dear ones, while
for some fancied trouble this great
good was quite overlooked.

ga true Peterkin always wants to

"Stay, oh, stay, of course" said Mr..

OIL FIELDS USED UP.
Pennsylvania's Petroleum Supply Civ

ing Out.
The great oil fields of Pennsylvania
are being rapidly exhausted, writes a
ST. Louis Globe correspondent from
Bradford, Pa. This fact is now very
apparent to practical operators, and
extraordinary efforts are being made to
find new fields, but the best informed
men engaged in the industry are no
hopeful of the results. The great pc
trOleum basin seems to be going, as
did the rich Comstock lode. The daily
production of the Pennsylvania and
New York fields has fallen from 100,-
600 barrels q day, the maximum, to
$4,000 barrels. In these figures the
Ohio field is not considered, as Ohio
oil is now regarded only as fuel oil,
and therefore does not come into COM
petition with the Pennsylvania pro-
duct. In Pennsylvania and New
York 10000 wells have been drilled.
OF this number about 1000 were pro-
ductive and the rest dry. These wells
have exhausted hundreds of thousands
of acres of territory. The wonderful
Bradford field, that produced 140 ,O00,
600 barrels of oil, is now practically
drained. Thousands of wells in the
Bradford region have been abandoned
entirely, the tubing and casing pulled
out of them, and the wells plugged.
The bonanza fields along Oil Creek,
that once astonished the world, are
dry, or nearly so. Where wells were
found that produced thousands of bar
rels day, we'll that will yield five
barrels day is now considered a good
one, while. thousands of acres of this
old territory is absolutely worthless
for oil purposes, and is being slowly
reclaimed for agricultural purposes.
The probabilities of finding another oil
field have been greatly lessened by the
universal explorations that have been
made for natural gas. There are few
important towns in the West that have
not drilled fIom one to four wells, in
the hope of finding gas, and each of
these wells, whether it found gas or
not, has condemned the territory for
oil. If none of the 500 wells now drill
ing find a rich spot, it will then become
a serious question with oil drillers
where they shall turn to find the pro-
duct so much sought after as an illu

were trying to propel fiatboat, but
the animal was as immovable as civil
ization in China.
When everybody was in despair the
proverbial stranger appeared, and
stepping out of the crowd said to the
driver in tones as smooth as castor oil:
"I'll show you how to make that
horse 60"
The driver retired and the stranger
grabbed the horse confidently by the
mouth, opened it as if it were q bank
vault, monkeyed al Ound with the in
sides of the animals jaw for a few
minutes, then seized the beast by the
bride, and to the 7x9 establishment of
the crowd, watching the boys with
their hands on their watches, the horse
started off at a five miie-an- hour gait,
drawing the carriage after him with
perfect ease.
The success of the strangers method
of persuading balky horse to resume
its journey without further delibera-
ton was so surprising that the Tele-
grams balky horse artist asked the
stranger how he did it.
otis very simple" said the horse
tanning magician. "Of course you
didn't see me, but / took a chip of
wood which picked up from the side
walk and placed it under the horses
tongue. The presence of that bit of
pine chip diverted the horses attention.
He forgot all about being balky. He
was thinking of Henry George or the
new baths in the Produce Exchange,
and when took hold of the bride he
started off like any other horse, and |
have no doubt he is mad enough to
kick himself because he did it. A
horse is Il curious brute-as peculiar as
a woman, Il regular coquette on four
legs-but easy enough to manage if
you know how to do it."

Tale of a Bank Book.

In I642, says the Charlestown Enter
prise, Charles o. Gage, who is now one
of the directors of the Bunker Hill
National bank, deposited $I3 in the
Warren Institution for Savings. From
that time until the present week the
book had never been seen by the bank
officials, and they naturally supposed
that it had been lost by the owner.
On Wednesday Mr.. Gage walked into
the Warren Institutions headquarters
and presented the bank book, with Il
request that the interest be placed on
it's pages. The accumulated interest
amounted to $I30.12. Mr.. Gage now
has to his credit, on the deposit of SI3
made 40 Years ago, $I43.I2. Every
one of the trustees who were in office
at the time Mr.. Gage made his deposit
has joined the great majority.

That BaIky Horse Again.
Nam York TeLenrn1ra

How to move balky horse has long
been an unsolved problem. The an.
cient philosophers tackled it and gen.
orally retired from the field with brok-
en- shins or their front teeth kicked in
by Greek horse.
The other day Telegram reporter
saw a fine, mouse colored animal gear
ed to a stylish turnout on Broadway,
with eight or ten men trying to get
him to move on. One man had him
by the bit, and another by the tail, a
couple of men put their shoulders
against his ribs and heaved as if they
