Speaking of Busties.

Not long since the friends OF a popular
West Side matron decided to give her a sur

secret, in order that madam might be gotten
out of the way while her friends took posses

walk"

once Of her personal appearances; 81 haven't

PAVING PAYS.

A Des Moines Paper speaks from Elk
perience-.-Improvem that Fol-
lows this Progressive Movement.
IF there was any doubt that paving
pays, that 1t increases the value of real
estate fronting on paved street, says the
Des Moines Leader. Sixth avenue would
set that doubt to rest. Those who have
watched the improvements going on there,
and the advance in the value of property
must become converts to pawn g and see
that 1t is one of the best improvements
that property holder can make. The
possibilities OF the avenue were recog-
nized for years. There were some fine
residences scattered along here and there,
but the bulk of the street wss unim-
proved. and the large tract penetrated by
the upper end was decidedly wild and
rustic and given over to cows. There
was little improvement and there could
be little improvement until such public
spirited citizens as Lowry w. Goode and
L. M. Mann inaugurated a successful
movement to get it paved, for no one
cared to build on what was either qusg
mire or a desert, where driving or riding
was impossible.
Not until the pavement was laid did
this street begin to improve. 1t started
a boom in which there has been no de.
cline. A boom that has built up thai
thoroughfare and many of its tributary
streets with magnificent residences, W hich
has frightened all the upper portion OF
the city, has added largely to the value
OF productive property and has steadily
improved and advanced Sixth stree,
property. both within and withou,
the city limits. Few investment:

has paid for itself, two, three and in some
cases five times over. Let those who

Reported Reverse to HIppolyte's Army
Near st. Marc-The Northern Chieftain
Said TO Have Been Killed.
Boston, Feb. 21.-The latest news from
Hayti is furnished by the second officer
of the steamship Delta, at this port from
Port de Paix. The officer states that
there is no communication between the
coastwise towns, but information was re-
ceived February II, from a native mail
csrrier who had just arrived from st.
Marc, Of serious conflict between the
Northern and Southern armies, that
occurred three days before, one mile
below st. Marc, in which the army
under Hipp0lyte had been completely
routed and 200 or 800 killed. The mail
carrier said that the Northerners had first
blockaded the port of St.Marc, after which
Legitime's army moved toward the inte-
rior, and on the second days march en-
countered a detachment of Hippolyte's
army with the above result. The success
of the Legitime soldiers was due to the
superiority of their arms. The second Of
ficer also states that rumor had gained
considerable currency at Port de Paix
that Hippolyte had been killed by a
Northern soldier who, it was claimed, re-
ceived - 900 for the work.

Rather Meager as a Fee.

Speaking of marriage fees" said a
prominent clergyman. ''recalls very
embarrassing blunder which was perpe-
trated upon an innocent brother
clergyman recently. The groom, who
was not a very nervous fellow. either,
carelessly pOked an old plantation
negro ballad into his vest pocket with
the five dollar bin which he intended
as the marriage fee. During the
excitement which followed the cere-
mony the young man placed the ballad
in the palm of the clergyman. After a
fervent God-speed the officiating
clergyman left without inspecting the
negro song. The divine was indignant
when he discovered the nature of the
bit of paper which he had slowed
