FOR DULL HOURS.

The Lewiston (Me.) Journal tells Of twin
sisters who formerly lived in Waldo county,
Maine, who looked so much alike that no one
out Of the family could distinguish Jane
from Susan, and their father himself was
sometimes puzzled. Susan had beau a
very devoted young man, who called often
and staid late-so often and so late that the
young lady began to feel the lack of sleep
and remarked one afternoon that she almost
hoped George wouldn't come tonight.
why can't take your place for once and
give you vacation:'' asked her sister.
The offer was at once accepted: the tired
damsel got good nights sleep, and George
never knew that he spent one evening from
p. m. to a. M. in James society until sew
eral years after he and Susan were happily
married.
A similar story may be told Of two Boston
twins, brothers. One of them had engaged
to take young lady to the theater, but from
some cause it was inconvenient for him to do
so. He therefore deputed the pleasing sery-
ice to his brother, and the young lady did not
detect the eception.-Boston Journal.

pig has no brains. A discussion upon this
subject arose, and to settle the question it
was ecided to sacrifice the most intelligent

scientifically analysed. After the pig
was killed the head was examined and
found to be brainless. The cavity in which
the brain should have been was extraordina-

THE AURORA FIRE.
Great Fire Raging in One of the
Big Four Mines.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, April 29.-The Au-
rOra mine is at present the scene of the
most disastrous mine fire that has ever
taken place on the Gogebic range. The
fire was discovered about II o'clock yes
terday morning in Shaft No. 6, about
200 feet under ground. 1t was burning
very slowly at the time of the discovery,
and no serious danger was apprehended.
Efforts were made to smother it, but the
element eluded all attempts to suppress
it, and it envelopes the whole mine UNI
controlled and possibly uncontrolla-
bic. The spread of the fire
was facilitated by the numerous
open shafts of the mine, and especially
by the great open pit which admits air
in most every nook and corner of the
mine and renders it impossible to
smother the flames. Flames and smoke
were Issuing last evening out of several
shafts in such volumes as to seriously
endanger the boiler house and sur
rounding buildings, but these were
finally saved by the greatest exertions.
The fire is burning tonight with in
creased vigor, and is steadily gaining a
surer foothold. Great volumes of steam

shafts, and the drafts of air that
at times gush forth are powerful
enough to sustain the body of man
from falling. The services of the Hur-
ley fire engine have been secured, and
it is at present pumping water into
Shaft No. 6, but the bin ding smoke
which issues from the mines make it i'm
possible to locate the exact place where
the fire is doing the greatest damage.
Two of the main shafts are already con.
Sumed, and it is the opinion of expert
enced mining men that the fire will be
eXtinguished only when it has done it's
work by consuming everything in its
way of a combustiDle nature. The prob
able loss cannot be estimated
at present, but will be large
undOubtedly-probably up in the tens
of thousands. The Aurora mine is one
of the big Four of the Gogebic range,
and was formerly one of the Moore
Benjamin properties, but is at present
owned by Cleveland parties. 1t is stu
ated about one mile from IronwOod.
Over 400 men will be thrown out of en-
plOyment by this disa ster.

THE NAME WE HONOR.

If GEORGE WASHINGTON could
awaken from his long sleep and stand to-
day on the spot where, Just 100years ago
lie took the oath of Office as first presi-
dent of the United States, he would not
employ the language of Rip Van Wrinkle
to express his emotions. Although long
ago gone, he would realize that he has
not been forgotten.
If he could visit the great cities of this
country, most of which have sprung
into existence since he was entombed,
and witness the demonstrations this
day in honor of his memory, he would
more than ever realize the perpetuity
of his fame.
And if he could go to-day into the
thousands and tens of thousands of
school houses that dot this land of light
and freedom, and behold the hundreds
of thousands little children who will
be burning sweet incense to his memory,
he would then know in all reality that
his is one of the few immortal names
that were not born to die.
Why should his name be forgot EN-,
and most of all in his own country?
The whole Anglo-SaXon race, from all
the four quarters of the globe. points to
his matchleSs life as an evidence of its
superiority.
Humanity itself assumes new dignity
because the name of WASHINGTON has
been written in her records.
He stands now and will forever stand
as a sublime and unapproachable eX-
ample of virtue and love of country
Great as were his military achieve
ments, they do not compare with the
grandeur of his civic triumphs. He led
the army OF independence, andihis great
heart resisted the appalling adversities
of the Revolution. He stood upon the
banks of the Delaware, and above the
roar of the elements heard the patriotic
call of duty. More favored than the
great captain of Israel, he was permit
ted from the plains of Yorktown to en-
ter into the possession of the promised
land. But his greatest triumph was
when the struggle was over, and he sur
rendered the more than kingly preroga-
tives with which his country had in
vested him and voluntarily stepped
down into the ranks of a common citi-
Zenship.
1t is not SO much WASHINGTON the
great soldier or the model president
whom we honor to-day, as it is WASH
INGToN the typical American citizen.
Of the many historical glories with
which his name is so richly decorated,
there is no jewel of more radiant luster
than the example of citizenship he set
before his cOuntrymen. This fact comes
down to-day with overwhelming force
to every American citizen who fondly
believes that to his government has been
issued the sublime edict, Esto Perpetua.
May it be so. May the broken column
and desecrated temple never mark the
downfall of American freedom.

FOUR SERGEANTS.
The Police Commission Promotes
Four Deserving Officers

Four Deserving Officers.
The police commission met yester-
day afternoon and passed the monthly
pay roll amounting to Sl4,329, and bills
to the amount of S444.95. Petitions for
the position of police surgeon were re-
ceived from Drs. Gibson and Tryon and
filed. The board took no action and
none seems necessary. The status of
the police surgeon is that of an en-
ploye, and until DR.. Kelley resigns or is
removed there is no vacancy in the
place. The surgeon is employed like
board. Officers August Volk, James
Allen, Patrick Fox and W. S. Foster
were named as sergeants from April l.
They have been doing sergeant duty
since that date. and the promo
ton is now made official. Officer
Hall was detailed for inspector
duty from the same date.
Nothing was done by the board about
the bills for specials during the
strike and it is understood that all
those accounts will be scheduled and
put through the council and be paid
out of the general funds. The police
fund could not stand the drain at pres
ent as it is too low to maintain the
regular force through the year. For
the same reason Supt. Brackets
recommendation that the force be in
creased to standard 200, was not acted
upon, but Mayor Babb was made
committee of one to see whether means
could not be devised by transference of
funds to increase the amount. If it can
be. in all probability the force will be
increased. Mayor Babb appointed
Commissioners Gjertsen and Guile a
committee on claims and accounts.
All other committee matters will be
considered in the full board.

And my cheeks for him flashed red and

As he sat with me in the soft moonshine
And drank of my love as men drink wine

And never a night, as knelt in PRAYER,
In gown as white as our own souls were,
But in fancy he came and kissed me there
Good-by, my lover; good-by
But now, o God what an empty place
My whole heart is OF the old embrace
Aud the kiss loved there lives no trace

But. oh, he is lost-for he married me

A SUGGESTION,

New York city will wear a broad
smile to-day.
And it ought to.
1t is the first show of patriotism the
city has made in hundred years.
We take the liberty to suggest that
while the patriotic embers are being
kindled into flame to-day it would be
good time for the G0thamites to pass
around the hat for collection for that
unfinished GRANT monument. There
will perhaps not be so many strangers
in New York again for another hundred
years. And as the poverty-stricken
metropolis always has to depend On out
side aid for its monuments, this is the
time to make raise for the GRANT
monument fund.

Indian Palki Bearers.
Youths Com paniop.

Youths Com paniOD.
Before railroads were built in India
the ordinary mode of rapid travelling
was by the palki, which was borne On
the shoulders of four natives. The speed
and endurance of the professional palki
bearers are really remarkable. An En-
glish traveller of only few years ago
thus describes journey which he made
in Bengal.
''By half-past 4 in the afternoon
was at the entrance of the Patna bazaar,
nine miles in length and thirty-three
miles from Barb. Thus they had
brought me at an average of over four
miles an hour, including stoppage of
over half an hour for their midday
meal.
at is true, was light weight; but
l once, with friend, tried to carry an
empty palki, and found it so CALLING to
the shoulder that l could not get be-
yond a few yards, while these men, who
lived on little else than rice. could carry
a loaded one over forty miles, at the
rate mentioned above"

THEN AND NOW.

Apropos 10 the day we celebrate
arises the pertinent question, "Who
handled the campaign funds when
WASHINGTON was first elected presi-
dent?"
History is mute on this subject, but
there is every reason to believe that
WASHINGTON would have scorned an
Office that had to be bought. And it is
quite sure that good old DIR. BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN would never have thought
of raising 100000 for campaign pur-
poses as consideration for the honor
of holding the Office of postmaster gen.
eral.
But those were days when the office
sought the man.
The world moves; but is it moving in
the right direction?
