Our TAX COLLECTOR Now. that Board
of Town Commissioners is about to organize,
we have a suggestion to make. Pay your
Tax Collector salary. place IN his hands
the tax bills for the current year, require him
10 give bond for the faithful and complete
collection of the same within gieen period
and at the expiration Of that time require q
settlement in full.
BY this method you will be rid of the
annoyance of back taxes" and the Collector
himself will be protected against those who
coax him and presume upon his indulgence.
If he knows that at q certain date he must
pay over the money to the Treasurer of the
Corporation, ne and his bondmen will see
that he gets it. There are no uncollectable
taxes, save such AS may have been levied
upon personal property, which with the
owner leayes the town before the date pro-
vided by law for the enforcement of collec-
ton, arrives and Of such TIE Collector would
in every instance be relieved of course.
Then allow the Collector to require that
taxpayers shall call upon HIM at stated times
and places and your tax collecting will haye
assumed some form and dignity and unless
we have thought of this matter to little pur-
pose, year or two will work needed and
agreeable change in this particular item Of
Corporation lnlsiness.

Actors Fun.

This happened in Chicago once. Nat Goodwin was at Hooley's few years ago, and presented golden ball to An son and the Chicago team who occupied the boxes. Itwas a gala night and every one was in good humor. Robson and Crane were playing over at the Grand. Suddenly the two Dromios dashed past Cool White at the stage door and were upon the stage in moment. Nat was ill the midst of recitation when he was tapped on both shoulders. Turning to the right and left he saw the Dromios grinning at him. It was the only time Nat Goodwin was ever at loss for a word. The audience howled with de- light. In moment more the two come dians were off and on their way back to the Grand, and it was fully five min- utes before the bewildered Nat could find his stongue.-Chicago Herald.

Another Learned Shoemaker.


 MT. John Macintosh, author of "The History of Civilization in Scotland" who will write the volume Scotland" in the "Story of the Nations Series," is in many respects remarkable man. He was sent to work on a farm in his native county of Banff at 10 years of age, and was subsequently, apprenticed to shoe making, at which trade he worked in various parts of Scotland for fourteen years. In 1869 he opened a small station cry shop in Aberdeen, ''and there, on the shop counter" he once wrote, "amid all the noise and hustle of a stirring thor oughfare, the three volumes of my his tory were written and the proof sheets corrected and revised, all being done while customers were coming ill and out and constantly interrupting me-"
 Mr. Mackintosh's shop is passed daily by the professors on their way to the university, and at one time several of them were in the habit of calling oc- casionally and having chat with the literary shoemaker. He was accorded the privilege, too, of using the university library. His history consists of four portly volumes, the last and best dealing with the moral and material advance ment of the country. MT. Mackintosh has been in the habit all his life of rising before Ia. m. He says he finds the early morning hours the best for literary work Pail Mall Gazette.

DYNAMITE IN NEW YORK.
Nearly Successful Attempt to Blow Up a Recently Boycotted Brewery - Narrow Escape of Employes.

Nearly Successful Attempt to Blow Up
 Escape of Employes.
 NEW YORK, Feb 9.-About 530 last even ing Stevenson's brewery at Fortieth street and Tenth avenue was shaken up, and nearly every window for a block in all directions, by a terrific explosion, the shock Of which was felt all over the city. The fire department and police reserves were called to the spot, but it was only after long search that the origin of the explosion was traced. twas found that dynamite bomb or something of the kind had exploded in of the coal shutes of the brewery, breaking through two foot stone wall and demolishing the shute and the stone work all around it. The build ing itself was intact, except the windows, and the only damage to the other buildings was in broken glass. The occupants of the tenements surrounding the brewery were very much frightened and several women suffered from shock but no one was seriously injuro! No fragment of bomb or anything to indicate the nature of the explosive could be found
 but a number of pieces of tin, which nobody could account for, were picked up in tene- ment opposite the brewery. The shock upset a stove and a small fire resulted, which was soon controlled by the tiremen. The explosion occurred just as the brewery was closing up, and Mir. Stevenson and his employees think they had a lucky escape. There was boy colt on Stevensons ale for a long time, due to allegations that non union wages were being paid, but Stevenson's own men did not join in it and stuck by him until the boycott was declared unjust and was removed. Whether these facts have any connection with the ex- plosion is not known.

DENYING LIE CARON'S STORY.

Milwaukee Irishncn Greatly A.itated by
 the Informer's Statements.
 MILWAUKEE, Feb. 9.-Milwaukee Irishmen are greatly stirred up over the statements made by Maj. Beach before the Parnell com mission regarding an alleged meeting with President Sullivan of the National League here, in May, 1883. J. G. Donnely, register of probate of this county, who is state execu- tive of the League, was asked what is thought of Beach's disclosures.
 ''I think" said Mir. Donnelly, that if the rest of his testimony be reliable as that wherein he mentions Milwaukee, he will strangle himself in perjury before he finishes his tale His alleged conversation with Alex ander Sullivan in Milwaukee on the occa sion of the Egan-Sullivan meeting in 1883 is absolutely false, and many besides myself can prove its falsity On the evening of the meeting referred to MT. Sullivan ar rived here from Chicago on the P. m train, He was met at the depot by committee, of which was member, and escorted first to the Plankinton and then to the Academy. was with him during the whole time and sat by him on the platform through the meeting. After the meeting we returned with him to the Plankinton, and despite our earnest efforts to prevail on him to stay over night, he left for Chicago on the 5 a. m. train. There was not a moment of the time he was here that he was not in the company of we'll known citizens, and the conversation which he had was cer- taiuly not of a violent or revolutionary char acter Beach was not in his company nor, to my knowledge, in Milwaukee at the time"
 ..You are certain Beach Dr. Le Caror could not have seen Sullivan here:"
 Positively, neither at that nor at any other time. Sullivan and Egan will co-ope rate with any rational movement having fol its object Ireland's freedom, but you may bt sure that they will never be found in tn, companY of fools or fanatics

The angry farm CTS have now forwarded petition to Cover nor Beaver to issue writ of scire facias, citing the Canadohta club to show cause why the patent for the lake should not be annulled, as the lake is navigable and was used as a thoroughfare from time immemorial

the Manhattan Elevated.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-A. $. Gookin; cashier of the Manhattan Elevated Railroad, has been discovered to be defaulter to the ex- tent of S6O,000. Three days ago he failed to appear at the company's offices @ Broadway and an examination of his books resulted in the discovery of his defalcation Vice-Presi- dent Galloway said that he could not give the particulars of Mr. Gookin's wrongdoings but acknowledged that he had filched something in the neighborhood of S60, 900 to 0,000 He refused to say whether any com munication had been had with Gookn since his flight. It was learned that Gookfn had entire charge of the pay rolls of the company and he came by his ill gotten wealth by car rying the names of a number of mythical persons oa the rolls of the four elevated roads. One of the attaches of the road stated that r,mors of irregularities on the part of Goolkin had been in circulation several days, and that Gookin had been questioned by his superiors and admitted his guilt. He was then given an opportunity to resign on con- dition that restitution be made by his friends Mr. Gookin has not been at his office since Tuesday last, and the officials solelnnly declare they are ignorant of his whereabouts. MT. Gookin has been ill the employ of the roao for a number of years head cashier anC was very popular with the officers and em poyes of the company.
 Gookin was seen by reporter and denied the story of his defalcation. There is nc doubt, however, of shortage in the ac counts The company's officers say ther' have been some slight irregularities. Ther, is disposition to hush the matter up, ane MT. Gookin will probably not be prosecuted He has resigned.
