Now, although our cutters and tailors

Custom Department will be fairly

spite our largely increased force of

An Asset He Didn't Stop to
Count.

Sam Stones, of New London, was
aCrnsus one day and possibly a pau
per the next. At the time of this in
cident he was the latter, and a sher-
if came to take possession. Sam re-
ceived him with his well-known po-
likeness and opened the ball by ask
ing him what he wanted. The sheriff
informed him he had come to take an
inventory ofhis furniture and belong
ings generally.
SECT to work, !" said Sam, and he
went into his garden to have asmoke.
In this garden Sam had a hive of
bees, which he carefully brought to
the backdoor and deposited outside.
He then went in and asked the sheriff
il he had got everything down. Yes,
he thought he had. Sam thought
not; SO he went outside and returned
with his hive of bees, and chucking
itinto the middle of the kitchen, said:
9 Now, my Christian friend, get
those counted and put down in your
inventory

The Love Humbug.

If one may be INDUCED in the use
of little slang, it makes wise man
tired to see how persistently his COM
peers run after and are beguiled by
the latest shams, and seem never SO
happy as when they are being de-
ceived. Especially is this trait motto
able in the matter of physical all
ments. The family physician may
measure out his prescribed doses Of
quinine or SIENNA, give the patient a
plain, practical talk, and depart with
the consciousness of duty done and
the certainty that the subject will
leave the powders untouched on the
mantle, unless he becomes frighten-
ed, and that his reputation as ply
sician will sufferin consequence.
But let some travelling fakir come
along, pitch his tent, swing out his
flag, with ringing of bells and blow
ing of horns, and 10! the public
is at his feet ready to be
healed, willing to swallow the
most nauseous mixtures, if only
they be christened with unpronounce-
able and untranslatable names,
anxious to pay double the fees of q
respectable, responsible physician,
and bold to assert after a weeks diet
of bread pills and rain water sweet
ened with molasses, that they are
cured of imagined ailments, and are
urgent that their friends shall share
in their good fortune.
Science doesn't. always receive the
support OF the universal public; hum

ShreWdness Of Plants,
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion
Even plants have an eye to the
main change. They are as much de-
voted to getting on in the world as
individuals of our own race are. Nor
is there any great difference in the
objects which their plans take in.
They like comfort, and secure it in
perfectly legitimate ways.
The slyness with which the plant
sometimes give a hint of it's wishes
manifests spirit offun. The spacious
leaves ofthe Victoria regia lie spread
out on the still waters of the Amazon.
There is no occasion for the plant to
develop a tough integument in these
leaves.
Yet, what would take place when
the fishes came to the surface, as they
often do in persuit of prey or to es-
cape when they are themselves pur-
sued? The immense leaves would be
punched through and ripped from
center to edge.
This mammoth lily protects itself
against harm from this source by de-
weloping prickles and spines on the I'M
derside OF the leaf, SO as to deter fish
from thrusting their noses against
that surface.
Plants are blessed with hearty APP
petites for food and drink. That
they may make the most rapid
growth tits necessary that this appe-
lite be INDUCED most freely.
Moreover, like human beings, they
are subject to disease as penalty
for acknowledgement If the leaf, for
example, drinks too much, even of
water, it's tissues will be required.
To guard against this danger, each
leaftooth i'll plants, like the sasifrage,
is furnished with a water gland to
provide for the escape of the surplus
water.

Many of the delegates who could not be
present were represented by alternates from
their respective auxiliaries. There were sixty
six voting delegates on hand whom the annual
election of officers was held.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS.
Very Clever Bit Of Work Performed
in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 16.-A most daring
and bold train robbery occurred in this city
last night When the Omaha express on the
Missouri Pacific. which leaves the Union depot
at $40 pm, had stopped at the State Line
station, short distance from the Union depot
where the conductor and eng ineer egister, three
men, without masks or visible disguise, entered
the first chair car, one pretending to be a news
agent selling papers, covered the passengers
with their revoivers and compelled them to
hand over their valuables, and then made
their escape as the train was leaving the
station. without the suspicion OF any one
about the station being aroused. There we're
about six passengers in the car and it il i'm
possible to say how much the robbers got
The road officials are very retcent about the
affair and say that only one man was robbed:
that he was standing on the platform
and that the robbers relieved him of SD 1t Is
generally believed that they secured much
more. Chief Tut Of the Missouri Pacific detec-
tive service arrived this morning from St.
Louis. but will not say anything in regard to
the robbery.

THE HEBREWS IN BUSSIA
Official Denial of the Reports of Per-
secutfon.

Secretary Of State Blaine has been informed
by the minister of the United States at St
Petersburg, that in regard TO the various re-
ports of the alleged persecution by the Russian
government of the Hebrews living in that
country, upon a thorough investigation,
he is able to present not only the
denial of the Russian government, but Of the
Hebrews themselves, and coniirmatory testi-
mony that these allegations are bRseless. He
says that 1t appears that a statement recently
appeared III the London Times stating
that despite the disayowai of the Russian
government some five six hundred
Hebrew families residing at Odessa had been
summarily notified that they must Immediately
abandon their homes. and, in fact, had already
been expelled Soon after this publication
appeared the British embassy at ST. Petersburg
called upon the British consul at Odessa to make
full investigation of the same. The consul re-
the government but by the Hebrews them
selves even more emphatically by the latter.
No such order was issued and no movement of
the kind attempted. The report evidently
originated from the fact that some Hebrew
families had voluntarily on their on part
emigrated or were preparing TO do so.
The rabbis and highest authorities ex-
planned this emigration as due TO the fact that
in the Hebrew families there were so many
youths and that as the number admitted TO tho
universities was limited they removed TO other
countries to secure the opportunity of higher
education. and that there no ground for
the charges against the government.

AGAIN FIRE VISITED.
Flames Discovered in the Globe Hotel
in Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, DC {. 16.-Just before o'clock
this morning telephone alarm of fire was
turned in. Word quickly spread that the
Globe Hotel was on fire. The gas lighted and
the windows raised in nearly every room on
the Salina street side of the Globe build
ing The guests were all aroused and
Ill a few minutes the halls were filled with
men, women and children, some half dressed
but the majority in their night clothes. Some
were routed out for the second time, having
been i'll the fire at the Leland Hotel. The fire.
men strung two lines of hose through the Office
and up back stairway to the kitchen. where
the flames were gaining considerable
Roadway in the ceiling and on
two sides of the big Refrigerator.
Some of the woodwork Was chopped
away and the fire was soon put out The Shaft
was badly burned on the inside from top to
bottom. The fire extended from the shaft
along the ceiling to the southeast corner of the
room where the refrigerator stood. 1t gained
good Roadway between the ceiling and the tin
roof, space of about two feet. With lively
work the tiremen soon had 1t under control
