a Boom Town in Kentucky.

Fifteen months ago." says man who
has just been there, "there were not a
dozen people in Middlesborough, KY.
Now it has a population of 5000. An
English syndicate worth $50, OOO, 900 is
building the town. They have spent
$780, 600 in Strengthening a creek which
runs through it, and have encircled it
with a seventeen mile dummy line.
They have put Up electric cars and cleo
trio light and have about completed
seven furnaces.
Business buildings costing less than
$40, 900 are not allowed to be built, and
lots are selling for as much as $3.50 q
front foot. The bonds of the circular
dummy line have been gobbled up at
rs. The syndicate own 100000 acres
in and around the place and have already
realized 81, 800, 900 on the investment.
Mr.. Arthur, the manager for the syndi-
cate, gets $35, 900 a year for his services,
and last Christmas they made him a
present of $50, OO0.-New York Tribune.

A Sandwich Mems Union.

The sandwich men of London, esti-
mated to number some $1,000. are being
urged to combine and form a trades
union for the redress of their grievances
and the protection Of their interests. 1t
Is pointed out that their average wages
range from Is. to sd. a day, for which
they have to work nine or ten hours.
Nor Is this the worst, for it not infre-
quently happens that these peripatetic
advertisers apply in vain for employ
ment three or four days in succession.
Their chief complaint is against the con
tractor, or middle men, who, they al
lege, charge double what they pay.
The question has now been taken I'D
by the labor bureau Of the Salvation
Army, which has issued an appeal to
various religious, philanthropic and COM
mercial societies inviting them to assist
In the movement. This body undertakes
to supply bill distributors and sandwich
men at the rate of 2s. I'd. a day, the two
shillings going to the men themselves
and the odd pence toward the payment
Of expenses. The discovery has been
made that a large proportion of the men
OF this class in London are discharged
soldiers without pensions, and as many
of them have young families to support
their destitute condition can easily be
realized.-LondOn Letter.

Chinese as Bank Robbers.

A ST. Paul dispatch to The Chicago
Tribune says: 'On the arrival of the
Chicago, st. Paul and Omaha train this
morning Detective Mason placed under
arrest Wing Shoe and Gee Sham, two
Cinnamon on their way from New York
to Portland. The robbery cor which the
Celestials were held was that of the safe
of n of the largest banking establish
ments in The Dalles, Ore. The safe was
blown open and robbed of $40, 900 on
Sept. 10. 1t was found that the robbers
had tunneled under the building from a
long distance, and had calculated cor
rectiy where to strike under the bank
vault.
There was at first no clew to the per-
p~etrators Of the bold deed. Suddenly
suspicion was directed toward several
Cinnamon. Some arrests followed AMI
a part of the money was found. The
authorities got on the track of the two
who arrived in st. Paul this morning,
and their coming was awaited by de-
tectives. The two Cinnamon were
searched and four large knives were
found in their possession, on the blades
of which vas sandy soil, which is re-
garded as proof that the men were en-
gagged in making the underground pas

Fruit Scarce.

Housekeepers are put to their wits
ends this autumn for winter supplies in
the way of relishes and preserves. All
fruit is SO scarce and SO high that such
table goodies have become this year posi-
tive luxuries. In this regard a Brooklyn
woman was overheard the other morning
to make a remark nearly as unique in its
way as the famous one Of Marie Antoin-
cite anent the starving Partisan popu-
lace. Her Brooklyn prototype had in
quired the price of plums at a grocer's
and resentfully replied to the high rate
he gave her: "Why, l al preserve moth
ing this fall at such prices; my family
will have to live on canned and dried
fruits"-wholly overlooking the fact that
the French queens "buns from the pas
try cooks" were scarcely more accessible
than her alternative will be during the
coming season.-New York Times.

A CHANCE
TO REACH TEN THOUSAND READ
ERS IN FOUR WEEKS.
Durham Business Men Who Believe in
Printers Ink VIII Take This
Opportunity.

Opportunity.
Commencing next week THE WEEKLY
GLOBE will print an extra edition Of
twenty-five hundred copies. This will
be continued four weeks-giving the add
v~ertiser the benefit of ten thousand extra
circulation. These papers will be mailed
to the farmers exclusively-those who
bring their tobacco to this market. We
have a list of five thousand names of the
best farmers in the counties adjoining
and including Durham county. The price
for advertising in this special extra edi-
ton of THE WEEKLY GLOBE is surpris-
ingly low, the enormous bona fide circu-
lation considered. We have seen many
of the business men and made contracts
with most all we have seen, but to those
with whom we have failed to make a con-
tract, we want to remind them that there
never was a better time to use printers
ink as proitably as they can use it in this
mammoth edition of our weekly.
TUE WEEEIy GIoRE iS without an
equal in the state of North Carolina and
an inspection of it will prove this propo-
sition to any man. The management
proposes to have a circulation of five
thousand before six months have rolled
around, and we are going to put it before
the people. Any man who will think a
minute knows that ten thousand circula
ton for four weeks means lots of people.
No contracts made for less than the four
weeks. If you have not seen THE WEEK
LY GLoRE, come and look it overt will
do your eyes good.

Improvements in Smoke Suppression

Determined attempts are being made
in Chicago to suppress the binding
smoke that is blown ashore from passing
steam craft. An experiment was made
recently to demonstrate the practicable
ity of a new invention. A small tube
with a perforated top, like that in a
sprinkling can, was introduced into the
smokestack, and through this steam
could be injected upon the Uprushing
smoke, which Immediately condensed.
The little tube, with its jets and sprays
of steam, is not a smoke consumer, but
there seems little doubt of its utility in
the prevention of smoke.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

from the skies neither hailstones nor

habitants of Melissa and Mutual have
gathered the grain and have stored it.
and are grinding it for bread.
