The First Thimble Maker.

There is a rich family of the name
of Lofting in England, the fortune OF
whose house was founded by such an
apparently insignificant thing as the
thimble. The first ever seen in Eng
land was made in London less than
two hundred years ago by a metal
worker named John Lofting. The
usefulness of the article commended it
at once to all who used the needle, and
Letting acquired a large fortune. The
implement was then called the thum-
bell, it being worn on the thumb when
in use, and its shape suggesting the
rest of the name. This clumsy mode
of utilizing it soon changed, however,
but the name, softened into "thimble, "
remains. Opinion.

Altogether Too Inquisitive.

An Augusta, Me-, storekeeper was
formerly possessed with an over
whelming desire to examine the con-
tents of every package which friends
deposited in his store for safe-kecping.
His propensities in this direction have
been effectually stopped. and this Is
how it happened: A man who suspect
ed the weakness of the proprietor drop
ped into the store one morning, and
e it bag asking that no one disturb
it. The proprietor walked round
awhile restlessly and then stopped
near the bag. He nervously fingered
the string that tied the top together.
There was no one looking and he care
fully united it. He was hardly prepar-
ed for the result. A thousand of about
as mad hornets as were ever let loose
lit on all the exposed portions of the
mans anatomy, permeated his clothing
quite thoroughly, and the way he shot
out of that door and home would have
done credit to the prince of sprinterE

Washington specialsa "The president
expects to be able to make practical reor-
ganization ofthe supreme court within about
eighteen months. Justices Miller, Field and
Bradley Have signified their intention to re-
tire within that time. Attorney General Mil
Ter is not considered in connection with any
of the vacancies, as the president says he put
him in his present position with the inten-
ton of keeping him there for the full four
years."
Senator Pettigrew has received letter
from Charles Foster, chairman of the Sioux
commission. in which he announces that the
rolls containing the signatures of the Indians
have just been received from the agents. He
says the report he has made to the Secretary
Noble is only partial, but in the reply the
secretary agrees with him that the reserva-
ton may be opened by proclamation of the
president without ratification by congress-,
but that congress will have to ratity such
portions of the treaty as the commissioners
found it necessary to alter in order to secure
the signatures of the Indians.

A Court Scene in Texas.

During q preliminary trial for the custody
of the children in the divorce case of Keller
VS.. Keller in tho district court room at Mar
shall, Texas, Alexander Pope was shot and
MORALLY wounded. w. H. Pope was pain
fully but not dangerously wounded in Two
places and james Turner slightly wounded.
those who did the shooting were w. T. S.
Keller the defendant in the case, and his
brother-in-law, C. R. Weathersby. The diff
fculty was brought on by Keller
denouncing as false statement
made by W. H. Pope to the effect
that Keller had practiced fraud
in a similar trial before Judge Haz-
elwood at Carthage in December 1888.
When Keller said at is false w. H. Pope
threw a gold-headed cane at him. Then
Weathersby, who was sitting in front of
Pope, arose and tirt two shots. one OF
which passed through W. H. Pope's left
shoulder. All the shooting was done by
Keller and Weathersby, as none of the
others were armed. Alex Pope was shot
through the stomach from the left to the
right side. He is not yet dead, but his ply
stefan says it is impossible for him to live.
Pope is member of the legislature from this
county. w. H. Pope is state senator from
this district. and, like Alexander, is widely
known for his brilancy as lawyer. James
Turner is a prominent attorney in this coun-
ty. w. s. T. Keller is ex-judge of this cOun-
ty. He now resides at San Angelo. Tex,
where he edits the Enterprise and practices
law. c. r. Weathersby is q night Waterman
for the Texas & Pacific railroad. The divorce
case has been called twice. but has never come
to trial.

A Skeletons Threat.

Isaac Sprague, DUNG his life time
one of the best of living Skeletons
was a character. He was the terror
of the Snowman, for one of his pecu-
liarities was not to go to the manager
when he had a grievance to complain
of, but to wait until one of the proprie-
tors or the manager would pass his
place in the exhibition, a good-sized
crowd being around at the time, and
then to sing out in fearful voice:
CHOW, see here; won't stand your
abuse any longer. You're robbing me,
and you know it. I'll appeal to the
public if it isn't shame to impose on a
poor living skeleton that way" To get
even with him, after thus standing his
abuse for a whole season, a Chicago
manager of his on the last night of a
seasons engagement. while waiting for
the train to bear the freaks" away

(who was unable to walk) up against
the fence by the roadside, and good
sized shower, interspersed with light
ming, overtaking them just at that
time, things became decidedly uncom-

Correcting a Prayer.

1t was Elder Buzzell who called Oh
worthy deacon to open meeting
with prayer, says the Lewiston
(Me.) Journal, and was surprised
when the good man began his petition
with: 20 thou great insignificant
God"
"Omnipotent, brother; you mean
omnipotent God." whispered tho
Mortified pastor.
Huh" calculated the surprised
supplicant. What's that you say1''
The preacher repeated the correc-
ton, whereupon the deacon continued
his prayer to a great length, and COD
cluded as follows:
FINALLY, Lord, bless our dedicated
parson. Stuff him with religion az
we'll as with words; break him of tho
habit of fault findin', if possible, and
at the Eleventh hour gather him with
the saints in thy kingdom"
Elder Buzzell, who was fond of tell
ing the story, always ended by declar--
ing that it was his first and last at
tempt at correcting the speech of his
brethren.
