WARMING A BOSTON AUDIENCE

New fOrk commercial AuVeTtlSef.
Ladies and gentlemen" said the
manager of Boston theater, coming in
front of the curtain at the end of the
fourth act, "we have just discovered the
cause of the sitting temperature from
which you have all doubtless been suf-
fering. The house has been on fire for
nearly half an hour. In assuring you
of my regret at the occurrence and the
unavoidable necessity of bringing the
performance to close, you will permit
me to express my heartfelt joy that we
have succeeded at last in thoroughly
warming up Boston audience"

A TOWN GOVERNED BY WOMEN
Atlanta Constitution.

A TOWN GOVERNED BY WOMEN
Atlanta Constitution.
One year ago the town of Oskaloosa
in Kansas, made itself the laughing
stock of the State by electing lady
Mayor and a Council of ladies. The
first thing the new officials did was to
enforce the Sunday law. They allowed
hotels, livery stables, barber shops and
drug stores to keep open, bat stopped
the sale of cigars, tobacco, bread and ice
cream. Next, the bad boys were looked
after. A proclamation was issued or
dering all boys under the age of eighteen
to keep off the streets after o'clock at
night. 1t occurred to the ladies' that
while they had the power the tobacco
evil ought to be dealt with, but the City
Attorney told them that squirting to-
bacco juice over the sidewalk came un-
der the head of personal liberty, and
could not be interfered with. They
then tried moral suasion, and appointed
IA committee to visit every tobacco chew
er in town. This course was complete
ly successful, and there was no further
trouble about the sidewalks.
For many years very little attention
had been paid to the streets, and the
property owners were unwilling to be
taxed for new pavements. The lady
Mayor and her Council decided that
they would have good streets and side
walks. They passed ordinance, made
contracts, superintended the work in
person, and successfully fought the in
functions and other suits brought against
them by the property-owners in the
Courts. Now that they have survived
a year of petticOat rule, the citizens of
OskaloOsa are not inclined to make fun
of it. They say that their town has
prOspered, and has made an enviable
reputation for good morals, law and or
der. In this particular instance the fe-
male suffrage experiment in Kansas has
turned out very satisfactorily. But one
swallow does not make a spring, and it
will take more than one OskalooSa to
revolutionize the world.

TOUGHENING PAPER.

A plan for rendering paper as tough

recently introduced on the continent
1t consists in mixing chloride of zinc
with the pulp in the course of manufac-

er the degree of concentration of the
zinc solution the greater will be the

NAPOLEON At ELIZA.


! Nttill4lll NitedLiHt.
The scene of the landing at Porto
FerraiO was a curious one. He had ia
ken the municipality by surprise. so
that the proposed decorations and tri-
umphal arch were incomplete. Eighty
pounds sterling had been voted for
these preparations, and the Council had
also decreed that $40 should be expend-
ed in the purchase of suitable furniture
for the palace which was set apart for
him. But, if their means were small. the
| ElbanS' hearts were warm. NapoleOn
was met on the mole by the Mayor and
corporation, the Vicario and other clergy.
The people crowded around the har-
Dor and waved bunting from their win
dOws. The keys of the city were offer
ed to him in a silver dish by the Mayor.
He did not touch them with his fingers.
His troops then escorted him through
the little piazza of white houses with
green jalOuSieS, now known as Piazza
CavOur, into the adjacent piazza Vito
rio Emanuele) by one side of which is
the plain little cathedral of the citv.
Here "Te Deum" was sung with en-
thusiasm. Napoleon stood throughout
the function, with bent knees and a
faraway look. He was afterward pre-
sented with map of the island. Then
he lunched, mounted his white horse
/ TIbertin, and rode out of the battle
mented little town to see something of
this residue of his great empire.
The VicariO's vision of the opulence
that was to come upon Elba with the
Emperor was illusiye. The revenue of
the island, all told, was only 3670OOf.
OF this, as soon as the figures were be-
fore him, Sopoleon devoted 100000 to
public works, such as roads and fortifi-
cations. The balance was little enough
for the maintenance of a court and the
several hundred soldiers of the Old
Guard who had followed BY him into
exile. By the treaty of FOntainebleau
an annual allowance OF a,000,00Of was
allowed to him. But he received not a
frame OF this, and had he not carried
with him sum of 3,400,000f he would
have been at the mercy of the Elbans
for the means of existence. As it was.
he did not exc out his funds verv iudi-
ciOusly, Had his mother kept the bag
the Elba establishment might have held
out for two or three years instead of
less than one year and Waterloo been
postponed.
During the first few months he sell
dom passed child or a peasant in the
road without brief inquisitorial chat,
which ended in the gift of couple of
gold pieces. He gave ragged boys mon
ey to buy clothing, and little girls napo-
Icons in exchange for flowers. Such
laviShness could not last. Retrench
ment had to be the order of the day.
Thus, at length, the worthy, astonished
Elbans found such burdens of taxes
laid upon them as they had never dream
ed of. At Capoliyeri, indeed, there was
revolt. The people intrenched them
selves in their village and took up
stones of resistance against the tax col

with brisk air, when he heard of this.
But, upon reflection, CapOliveri yielded
to the bidding of the victor of Marengo.

SOME so-called Democratic papers seek
comfort in the assertion that the Repub-
lican party is minority party" Why?
Simply because of the terrorism which
has prevailed in the South since the with
drawal of the troops from that section,
twenty odd years ago. The aggregate
of votes cast for members of the House
of Representatives varying from 1000
to 10000 in the Gulf States, as against
upward of 10000 in districts of the North
is conclusive answer to these shame
less apologists of crime. The Cadiz Sen
tjnel, of last week, had a sneer at what it
is pleased to call the minority party"
and half column howl at plan which
is being devised to cure existing evils in
elections in the South. Does the Senti-
mel think 1000 voters in a Georgia Con-
gress District equal to 10000 in the Sew
enteeth Ohio District?

AN Indiana jury has just pronounced
against a Bohemian oats note. Why
should it not? Why should not all such
notes be treated in that way by all juries
Banks and individuals who deal in such
paper should treat with strangers at their
peril. A number of men of this county
have been subjected to great expense in
defending themselves against pretended
hay-fork notes, and the like, which were
negotiated in distant counties. Once it
is understood that the courts can not be
depended upon to enforce payment of
fraudulent notes, even in the hands of
innocent purchasers, banks and individ-
uals will be chary in dealings which, on
their face, ought to suggest fraud.
THE Philadelphia Times makes the
startling announcement that s'the STAN
dard Oil Company has long owned one
of Ohio's United States Senators, and
now it has absorbed the rest of the
State" There are few grains of truth in
this statement, though about eighty of
the counties are not yet under the S. o.
C's domination. The Senatorship will
right itself after March 4, 1891.

two, or three to get on bases, they
would put them out IN one, two three

The managers of base ball clubs should
make a charge in one thing, aHd that is
they should call the game at the time adver-
