Claim OF the State In the Archer BOnd
Cases.

Another move in the suits on the off,
cial bonds of ex Treasurer Archer took
place yesterday. The defendants had
made demand on the State to furnish q
bill of particulars of the specific amounts
claimed upon each of the bonds given for
his respective terms of office. 1t was
necessary to separate and designate the
misappropriation so as TO bring them
under the different suits. This has been
done, and the attorney general has served
on the counsel for the defendants the four
bills of particulars, charging the missing
bonds at their cost to the State, aud making
the aggregate of the States claim $685.
306 20, with legal interest to be added
thereon at the trial. The papers have
been sent to the clerk of the Circuit
Court at Belair to be filed. The trial will
take place In November.

Stealing with Grasshoppers.

An ex-street car driver of Mobile thus explains how the mule engineers got the best of their employers: In the days when paper currency was all the go, the company introduced the patent boxes, which for time headed off the boys effectually in their knocking down" fares. But the victory of capi- tai over labor was sl.ort lived, for the drivers supplied themselves with large grasshoppers which they tied by the wings with a string and showed down into the box, and when MT. Grasshop- per grabbed onto q dime they jerked him back out of the box. This was kept up for some time with great suc- cess, until one day the string broke and left the bird in the box, which gave the snap away.-Louisville Cou- rier-J Journal.

Don't Want tD Insure v.om ell.

Iwent the other day to one of the most prominent of the foreign fire in- surance companies in New York to place a $2, 900 policy upon the stock ot millinery and fancy goods owred by lady who keeps one of the best known and most fashionable estab- lishments in this city. l considered tho risk in every respect good one, pany asked.
 Yet the application was promptly rejected. Surprised by the refusal, l saw the manager of the company, and he gave me his reasons. You need not carry the application, said he, ito any of the foreign insurance compa- nies doing business in New York. None of them will accept it. It is . rule we have agreed upon. Whyi Oh, reason enough. Whenever a fire 1. occurs which destroys stock of goods belonging to 8 woman there is sure to be trouble, and often lawsuit against the company which wrote the policy.
 l. The demand made is always largely in excess of the loss, and If the com pany declines to pay then. there is 2 suit. The result is always the same. On one side of tl,e court is a woman with wet eyes and pale face seeking what she claims as her own, on the other is rich foreign corporation whose stockholders live across the ocean, and who are trying, as the plaintiffs attorney is sure to say, to rob this helpless and defenseless wo- mani The jury does not take five minutes to decide, and always gives the woman the lump sum she demands See now why we don't want to insure stock of goods for any woman who is in business.

T. Remove Spots fro. ,,.ck.,.

Grease spots, if old, may be re- moved from books by applying .ol..- ton of varying strenk.h of caustic potash upon the back Of the leaf The printing, which looks somewhat faded after the removal of the spot, may be freshened by the application of mix. ture of one part of muriatic acid and twenty five parts of water. In a case of fresh grease spots, carbonate of pot ash (one part to thirty parts of water), chloroform, ether or benzine renders good service Wax disappears if, af ter saturating with benzine or turpen- tinc, it is covered with folded plotting paper and hot flat iron put upon it. Paraffine is removed by boiling water or hot spirits. Ink spots or rust yield to .oxAlic acid, in combination with hot water; chloride of gold or silver spots to a weak solution of corrosive sublimate of cyanide of potassium. Sealing wax is dissolved by hot spirits and then rubbed off with ossia sepia.- American Book Maker

LOVE, DEATH AND TIME.

 Sweet Love, who came to me on shining wing, And gave her to my arms-her lips, her breath, And all her golden ringlets clustering; And Time, who gathers in the flying years, He gave me all, but where is all he gave! He took my love and left me barren tears. Weary and lone, follow to the grave. There Death will end this vision half divine. Wan Death, who waits ir shadow evermore, And silent, ere he give the sudden sign; Oh, gently lead me through thy narrow door, Thou gentle Death, thou trlstiest friend of mine
 An me, for Love-win Death my love restores

CANAAN, CONN, WEDNESDAY,

on. How to come at us was puzzle, but nothing was done until midafter- noon. Then the doors of the compan- ion were burst in, and the men encour- aged each other to attack the cabin door. Each hung back, however, as there was a bit of entry at the foot of the stairs, with turn to the right to reach the door. On account of this they could not bring beam to bear, nor could more than one work at time. Realizing their disadvange, and wishing to come at their end the safest way, they were ready to make any promise to bring the captain out. He defed them, and thus two days and two nights passed.
 The brig had meanwhile been mak- ing good speed to the east, and we now heard the men growling because the island had not been sighted. On the forenoon of the third day there were several violent quarrels among them, andi one of these the second mate was stabbed to death and his body flung, overheard. The captain, had treated me very kindly, and we had not suffered for food or drink, there being full cooler of water in the cabin when the row began. He had crackers, sardines and other fine provisions in his own pantry, and while l stood watch three hours he stood six. He said the end would be that both of us would be killed, and he was impatient for the mutineers to begin their work SO that he might have a shot at them. On this third day Bristol Bob stood on the port quarter, while haranguing us through the skylight, and the captain located him, brought his musket to bear and shot him dead. We kllew this from what was said on deck
 Half an hour later, as we heard one of them at the cabin door, the captain made ready to fire bullet through 1t. and, by some carelessneSs, discharged the weapon prematurely and received the ball in his throat, and he died in | five minutes. I was so overcome that I hid away in his stateroom, and the < mutineers no longer had any one to resist them. The first thing knew it was night, and it was so very quiet that I knew there could be no wind outside. crept out into the cabin, but everything remained as I had left it. For two hours 1 listened for sounds from the deck, but heard nothing from the mutinee,s, and finally fell asleep
 It was morning when was aroused, and then by men dropping into the cabin through the skylight. They be- ionged to the Scotch whaler Bruce, which was lying near by, and which had had us in view ever since day light. The mutineers had taken the long boat and abandoned the brig, which was driving at her own sweet will, and to this day not one of the men has ever been heard of. No doubt they met with some accident by which all perished at sea.-New York Sun.

Yankee Spirit.


 Now and then one hears more or less discussion as to what constitutes ''the Yankee spirit" but like many other common phrases this one aeems to elude the efforts of the definersand to always agreed upon is that to be a real Yankee one must be good at bargain and if this is not very definite it is at least something.
 There is small boy in the neigh borhood of Boston whose mother is English while his father is New Eng lander. The parents have often laugh ingly debated whether the lad was or was not genuine Yankee, but it was only on the day after last Christmas that they were able to agree in the matter.
 On that day the boy was for some time missing, and the whole family became much alarmed about him. The servants were sent to the neighbors, the house was thoroughly searched, the we'll looked into, and as last re- sort the policemen of the village were called upon to aid in discovering the truant.
 When matters had gone as far as this the boy himself was seen coming across the lawn in draggled and evi- dently exhausted condition, but way ing his hand with an air of triumph.
 Il got thirty cents, mammal" he shouted as his anxious mother came fastening out to meet him.
 Thirty cents" she repeated in as- tonishmcnt. "How did you get thirty centsa"
 ''Why, with my organ, of course, J he answered, and he showed her, strapped upon his back, 2. toy hand organ which had been among his Christmas gifts. ''I've been playing way down to the other end of the town"
 The English mother looked at the eager little fellow, divided between a desire to laugh at the droll situation, the feeling that she should reprove the runaway, and the relief she felt at sec ing the little fellow safe. "George, she said, turning to her husband, who had come up in time to hear his sons words, you are right. He is born Yankee. Youths Com panion.

MGR also made an individual assignment
10 Mr.. Murphy.
The assignee, SIr. Murphy, is book
keeper of the firm. He says the liabil-
tiles are 81 900, 900 and assets nominally
about the same, but their real value
cannot 5e stated until schedules are pre-
parcti. The firm did business of about
81, G0O, 900 Il year. 1t was founded in
1896. II represents several large mills,
including the New England, the Hack
anum, the Springyille, The Dawson and
the North adams. 1t also controlled
yatinet mills and Mr.. Murphy says the
trouble was caused by carrying too
much satinet stock and iby the nnfavor-
able winter Err heavy dress goods.
Mr. Murphy scouts the idea that Mr..
flummer's political activity had any
bad effect on the business. Mortgages
amounting to $50, 700 were recorded
against the property, mostly in favor of
members OF the Flummer family. The
law firm of l.varts, Choate u Beaman
is the only preferred creditors, $1,000.
The largest creditors will be the mills
named, and probably the two banks
carrying the firms paper, the Chemical
and the Central National.
