4 CannY ScOt,A Trick.

An American was at an Edinburg.
Scotland, hotel for month, and when
the bill was presented noticed that he
had been charged with bottle Of wine
Of II brand he had never used. More
over. he had no recollection of having
ordered any article Of the kind on the
date specified. He complained of the
overchargc to the proprietor, who
blandly remarked: Very we'll; Ill
take it off. You see the girl who got
that bottle of wine from the cellar
forgot to whom it had been served, so l
charged it to every guest in the house.
All who didn't have it will object, and
the one who did will pay" well,
but aren't you afraid that some one
VINO didn't have it will pay, too?'
asked the American. No." was the
reply; 'I'm afraid they won't" Thir-
teen guests each paid for that bottle of
wine

Novel Plea for n Liccnse.

A novel argument was recently adj
vunced III an English court on an APP
plication for IL wine and spirit license.
a solicitor from Il neighboring town
was employed to apply for the license
on behalf of Il beerhouse-keeper. He
urged in support of his application
that rs the house was in close proX-
unity to the cemetery the granting OF
the license would be Il great boon to
persons attending funerals, as. when
they were overcome with griet and
low-spirited, they would be able to
avail themselves of a stimulant in order
to alleviate their sorrow. The magis-
trate however, decided that mourn
ers" were better without such comfort,
and SO refused the license.

Foolish Martyrs.

There are martyrs and martyrs. Some were wise
in the loftiest, some silly in the most improv-
ident sense. The word improvidcnt exactly ap-
plies to the latter class, since they neglect to pro-
vide against threatened danger. We commiser-
ate, but We cannot respect them. Among the
silliest are martyrs to rheumatism, who might
have prevented daily and nightly recurring tor

SANTA Rosa, CAL, Dec 27.-An ;nci-

city OF 5000 or 10000 inhabitants At
about O'Clock some members of ID. NJ
Carithers' family heard crashing of
glass in The conservatory near his hand
some residence on b. Street, in the
heart OF the city. Will Carilhe,s, on in
yestigatng the cause OF the noise found
a wild spike buck among the flowers
The animal was trembling in every
muscle and there was a bleeding wound
in It's neck, caused by the broken glass
of large pane through which it had
jumped on entering the conservatory
The whole family at once came out to
see the remarkable sight of wild deer
IN conservatory filled with rare exotics,
while some small boys in the next yard
climbed the fence and frightened the
deer, which made its exit
from the other side Of the
conservatory, smashing another
large pane Of glass. The terrified ami
NAL dashed past the excited people
from tue house out into the street, clear
ing the high fence with a graceful leap.
1t then dashed down through one ofthe
main residence streets, and was finally
killed by a crowd of boys near the
saughter-house in the outskirts of the
city. The animal is supposed to have
been chased in from Hood Mountain,
several miles out of this city, by hounds.
It weighed when dressed 100 poui is.
The damage to the conservatory and
flowers is between $50 and 500.

Mrs. Hogg was the wife of London

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 27.-It has been
thought THAT the cbb mark in s. 4. Kean' S
bank assets bad been reached; but the
sum to be distributed among depositors
has been further diminished by up
ward of 100000. It looks much as if

creditors will receive. Of the
original figures $4,000 or there
abouts for bills receivable, $685.

that large amounts of Kean's personal

who has been going through the bills

sists of protested notes, whereof the
makers are entirely insolvent. Many
of these notes are long past due, some

How the Parn elites Account for the Stun
ming Defeat.

How the Parn elites Account for the Stun
ming Defeat.
KILKENNY, Dec. 23.-The result of the
election yesterday is severe blow to
Mr. Parnell and his followers. But they
are not so discouraged as they might be
expected to be, for it is admitted that it
was really victory for the priests, and
that had they not adopted the tactics
they did the result of the election
might have been different. The lead
ing members of the Parnellite
party in this section, after the
announcement of the defeat of
Scully had been made, were to be seen
dolelully parading the courthouse
passages, apparently being in a very
respondent state of mind. Mr.. Hen
messy, when he left the courthouse,
claimed that he had at least a majority
of 600, and when the actual figures
were given to the public it was seen
that the anti-Parnelhte candidate was
not far out in his estimate. The count,
completed to-day, shows that Hennessy
had 1927 Votes and Scully 1855 votes.
In spite of the excitement caused dur
ing the past week by the political strug-
gle which has been taking place in this
parliamentary district and though, the
actual result ofthe battle fought between
the Parnellites and anti Parnellites was
practically In doubt up to the hour of
noon, there was little or no excitement
in the streets of Kilkenny this morning.
Peace and quiet outwardly at least
seemed TO reign on all sides, the streets
being the quetest portions of the
town. Opposite and about the court
xy1 no
Parnell, Harrington, Redmond, Scully,
Hennessy and Healy were inside the
court house at an early hour, awaiting,
with varying emotions, the actual an
nOuncement of the result. Though the
Parnellltes claimed up to the last mo-
ment that victory was lowering over
their banners the defeat Of their can
didate was virtually admitted long be-
fore the close of the polls yesterday.
IN view of the almost vital importance
to both sides of the exciting political
contest just decided, it is claimed that
both parties deserve great credit from
the fact that no collision took place be-
tween their followers, and that the last
day of the campaign, at least, was con-
spicuous for the almost entire absence
OF the personal abuse which has recent
~ been exchanged by broadsides be-
tween the followers and the opponents
of Mr.. Parnell.
During the morning, as has been the
case since the polls closed, the door of
the counting room" in the courthouse
was strictly guarded by police, but there
was no attempt to create any disturb
ance. Shortly before noon Mr.. Davitt
came out from the courthouse and told
the press correspondent that he could
accept it as fact that Hennessv's ma
jority would be about l 200, and that the
Parnellites had suffered hopeless,
crushing defeat.
