something over 5000 feet above the

He Was the Manager.

l heard another story about John
Stetson the other day that illustrates
his strong personality as we'll as his
unfamiliarity-at one time-with the
English language. One Of his travel
ing theatrical companies, under the
charge Of business manager named
Sharpe, halted as Yonkers q few years
ago to give two or three performances.
Stetson went out to take look at the
house, and when he arrived at the
theatre at about noon he discovered a
sign in front Of the house, the inscrip-
ton upon which read: Matinee at 9
o'clock, sharp" Stetson did not like
this at all. He summoned his man
ager and asked him why he had put
out such sign.

A Covstou. 1,.nt.,n.

Here is story of a bantam hen
told by Couch the naturalist: There
was nest Of the common hen in .
secluded part Of the garden, and the
parent had been sitting on its eggs un-
til compelled by hunger she left them
for short time. This absence was
fatal, for little bantam hen, yearn-
ing for progeny, found the recess in
the hedge, and creeping in took pos.
session Of the nest with all tho tri-
umph Of the discoverer Of a treasure.
The real mother now returned and
great was her agony at finding an in
truder in her nest. After many at
tempts 10 recover possession, she was
compelled to resign her rights, for the
bantam was too resolute to be con-
tended with; and though its body was
not big enough to cover all the eggs,
and thus some of them were not
Matched, yet in due season the pride
of this audacious stepmother was
gratified by strutting at the head of a
company Of robust chickens, which
she passed off on the feather ! public
as a brood of her own. Philadelphia

GENERAL OFFICE OF THE AssocIAT.
ED PRESS, New York, March 3.-Ths
retirement of Mr.. Cleveland from the
presid ency affords fitting opportuni-
ty for the Associated Press to make
some recognition Of the uniform cour-
tesy with which its representatives
have been received at the White
House, and the intelligent interest that
has been exhibited in placing at it,
service promptly and without the an.
noyances that too often accompany
official acts, everything that might or
has been given to the public. While
the Associated Press has always been
on pleasant terms with tho occupants
Of the White House, the fact that the
press was the servant Of the people
and proper medium through which to
reach them, was never so clearly I'M,
derstood before the administration Of
President Cleveland. The experience
Of Colonel Lamont IS Q journalist wal
undoubtedly useful in establishing
such sensible and practical relation
with the Associated Press at the YER,

that there are 80 property owners on

ry out the ordinances of the city on
that point These parties, he says,
are laboring under the idea that these
sewers will not work. He says that
business men do not keep good smell

suggests the passage Of an ordinance
compelling them to fiji up the yards
with gravel; also the passage Of an or
dinance compelling the owners Of nm
occupied lots to keep the weeds cut
down in summer.
He finds also that hog pens continue
to smell, although positively notified
