A Boarding House Trust.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 3.-The
trust mania has penetrated into
realms of boarding house keepers.
Last evening some forty gents repre-
senting restaurant and boarding
house interests in Chicago met and
organized a union. They discussed
the feasibility of placing uniform
price on table board by day and
week, and there was unanimous feel
ing that slight but firm advance in
present rates was panacea for the
present unhealthy state of the bust
ness. Price of produce and all table
supplies have been gradually rising
during the summer until it has
arrived at a point where their bust
ness has become Improbable. Now
they will try organization.

A Chance for Republicans.

1t has been suggested by visitors from
North and West Texas that the LIGHT
make a special campaign rate for the
weekly in order to keep republicans post
ed in reference to state politics, as well as
to have republicans rally around their
flag and if possible encourage county and
precinct organizations. To further this
made:
One copy 3 months. ................ 1.25
Ten copies 3 months. ............. 1890

One copy 3 months. ............... .25
Ten copies 3 months. 200
One copy l Loo
Twelve copies l year............... 1000
Sample copies free.
We desire especially to have t1e LIGHT
circulated in the Panhandle counties
where the majority of the set
tiers are from republican states.
For instance, take the Iowa.
Texas colony located at Iowa Park,
Wichita county, we are advised by Hon.
D. c. Kolp, the secretary, of that colony.
hundred people settled in Iowa Park and
vicinity are republicans, and who do not
know that there is a straight republican
paper printed in the state. These people
should know by a weekly visitor that
there is a strong Republican sentiment in
Texas, and that it is necessary is to have it
properly organized. We take pleasure in
supplying secretaries OF republican Or
CARNATIONS with extra copies of the
LIGHT, and will be pleased to have them
cooperate in having republicans supplied
with good sound republican literature.

On Glade mountain, West Virginia,
resides the "coincident Franltlins," a
family which is, in one respect at least,
the most peculiar of any in the whole
country. The Franklins are a family Of
condolences. The father and mother
were married on the 14th of October.
They have had nine children, all of whom
We're born ON the 14th of October Five
Of the nine are dead, and, strange to say,
every single one of them breathed his
last on the fateful 14th day of October.
The name of the head Of the family is
Joshua Franklin. He was Confederate
soldier, and was captured twice and had
two brothers killed in the war between
the states All four of these mishaps
and misfortunes of war occurred ON the
memorable 14th day of October.
In the neighborhood where the Frank
lin family live, and, in fact, for miles
outside of their immediate latitude, the
"Franklihs of Glade mountain" are
looked upon with superstitious awe. II
is said that not a single human being
who knows of the mystery surrounding
the family can be prevailed upon TO stay
in the house or about the premises on
either the day or night of Oct, 14.-St.

assistant of her establishment.
Not very many years ago this majestic
merchant was employed in box factory
with hundreds of other little women.
She was quick witted, ambitious and
restless. A young fellow named Bleffert
had charge of her division He admired
her skill, love followed admiration and
marriage love. There was no wedding
tour, no kalsomined pastry, no satin rib
bons and no foolish expenditures. There
was a honeymoon, though, and it has
not waned, either. There was toy

With a fiirt like that whether maid OF
matron, there is no occasion for cere-
mony. You snatch her up and ON your
knee she pretends to be offended and to
struggle TO escape But she curls her
self up with a sensuous purr when you
begin tickling the fur that lies just be-
hind the ear, and thenceforth it is all
plain sailing. II is very different with a
cOTpulent and sturdy Tom, who, though
he may have luxuriated in comfortable

thing Of the worst side of human nature
Mischieyous boys have heayed half

clan manners, expelling him with igno-
miny from the lower regions, and some
times punching his head Even his
master, who is the reverse of a pusso-
maniac, may never have appreciated him
according TO his merits. No wonder that
a cat of that stamp should be slightly

IL may not be generally known that

the theory that the refined art Of the

color; and any evidences to the con

to troublesome theories, subversiye OF
