4 meteor OF Unusual Briiiiaucy Reported NJ
Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 2o.-A brilliant meteor
passed over this city last night at S:45
in northwesterly direction. The phenome-
non was witnessed by great many persons.
They describe the passage as exceedingly
awe-inspiring. None could be found who
had observed the presence of the meteor in
the eastern horizon. All agreed that it had
first appeared near the center line and that
its course had been straight.
1t looked like ball of fire about the size
of a football. As the ball of fire flashed
through the heavens it left behind broad
tail of light, which glimmered and then dis
appeared. A kissing sound accompanied
the display. Dispatches noting the appear
ance of the meteor come from points as far
south as Springfield, Ill.

A Circus Agents Scheme.

An old printer tells this story Of an unsuccess-
full attempt to beat circus agent:
The weekly paper on which | learned nv
trade was situated In a town which no circus
going west ever skipped. We used to count on
those circus ads as regularly as did on the
holidays, and for years and years we we're
without a break. They were cash. of course
outside of the dozen free tickets which the
agent left, and the money pulled the publisher
through tlght place more than once. Our
object was, of course, TO get as high rate as
possible, and to get high rate we had te boom
the circulation. 1t held steady at about $50
and for the first three four years it was
sufficient to tell the agent that we printed
"about 1000 copies.' After that, however.
there was one chap who gave us trouble He
was an agent for old Dan Rice and he paralyzed
us by asking to see the pile of paper we had
wet down for the outside pages While he
didn't get to see it, he knocked our regular $40
ad down to $50, and he had no sooner gone than
we began to plan to beat him next season.
About the time he expected we got an
extra bundle of paper, fixed it with the land
lord of the hotel to notify us, and the idea was
to wet down enough to show a full thousand
copies. We were daily expecting a call when
an old tramp printer slouched into the office
one morning and asked for a job. We were
just getting ready to work off the outside
pages, and as he said he was used to q "Wash-
ington.' he was offered quarter to pull the
edition. was at the roller and soon saw that
he knew his business. He could fly" and
point his sheets with surprising dexterity,
and he brought the lever around with a
chuck which made things shake. In two
hours he reached the bottom sheet, and turned
to the publisher with:
"Is this allY''
Yes, that all"
81 make the pile four hundred and fifty"
at S about four hundred and eighty Here's
your quarter, and perhaps III let you set IN an
auction bill this afternoon ~
When afternoon came in walked the circus
agent, looking as Jim Dandy as you please We
took one look at him and tainted. He was the
Identical chap who had done the press work of
the morning. When we recovered Consciousness
he was holding out his blistered hands, and say
ing:
''rll fill out the contract at S1S and leave six
tickets. Sorry for you, gentlemen, but perhaps
you can get rid of that extra bundle of paper
by literally discounting on the price. I'm work
ing this little racket all along the line and it's
curious how fast the circulations of the papsrs
gets below five hundred ~

The King and the Peasant.
From AZ Detroit Fl.ee Press.


One day while the King of the CannibaI
Islands was out hunting for grizzly bears, he
became separated from his retaInerS. and after
wandering about for a long time he finally
came upon the cabin of a peasant The peasant
hadn't the least idea who the stranger was of
course. and he invited the king to enter and
make himself as comfortable as possible. His
royal MOS, seeing how the land lay, thought
to get an honest opinion of himself, and after
he bit he led off with:
They say that the king is out on a hunt to-
day"
mo doubt of it," replied the peasant; 'he
has of late seized upon every preteXt to neglect
the king business, and let's affairs of state 90 to
the dogs
They say he drinks"
"AlaSl yes He can guzze more bulge than
any four OLD drunkards in the country"
And that he is harsh and tyrannical"
You bet He'd grind our noses to get an
extra dollar in taxes, and he is always after a
new law to abridge our liberties"
And that he is a spendthrift."
An, sir If he wasn't king he'd be q loafer
and vagabond.'
But ne must have some good features, - pro

tremely kind to crosS-eyed cats.
Il am the king!'' Numbered his majesty as he
rose up in all the terribleness of his awfulness
The peasant fell upon his knees and prayed
that his life might be spared, being he had no
insurance, and the king took him by the right
hand and lifted him up and said:
Have no fear. You are an honest man You
are the only human being who has dared to tell
me of my faults. From this moment [ am n

oubernatorlal Candidates.

It begins TO look as if about every demo
crat in Georgia Of any prominence would
see hts name in the newspapers in
connection with the gOvernOrship before
the meeting of the democratic state con
ventiOn. The Georgia editors appear to
/ have determined 20 improve the present
1 opportunity to compliment their friends by
adding their names TO the list of supposed
I gubernatorial aspirants, and a good
many who are not editors are assisting
/ in hunting up gubernatOrial material. Of
course no harm IS done by suggesting this
or that man for the highest Office III the
state, and many gentlemen and their
friends are tickled by the harmless sugges-
tons. Doubtless the old time politicians,
those who think it is their especial duty to
make the state ticket. regard the increas-
ing number of candidates with satisfaction.
In their opinion the greater the number
the easier it will be for them to have their
candidate nominated. Indeed, it
is not improbable that they
are in measure responsible
for the appearance of 50 many candidates
in the field They hope, probably, that
each one will have a following sufficiently
strong to prevent any one from having a
majority when the nominating convention
meets, aud that the uncertainty that such
condition Of affairs will produce will aid
them in carrying out their plans success
fully. The chances are that they will be
disappointed. The crowd of politicians
who have been trying to run the politics of
the state for twenty years haven't as tight a
grip on the people as they think, and when
the time for action comes they will be in
vited to take back seats.
Some of this crowd have been asserting
that q Savannah man has no chance to get
the governorship. They take it for granted,
of course, that Mr.. duBignoa is certainly
out of the race. 1t is true that he said he
was not a candidate for governor, and there
is no doubt that he meant what he said.
But suppose the nomination should be
offered to himl Is there not "a probability
that he would accept it, Would he not feel
it his duty to do 500 lie has splendid pros
poets in his profession now, and he would
have to sacrifice them if he were to re-enter
politics, but he is capable of making great
sacrifice to serve the people.

does about what Mr.. duBignon would do if
the gubernatorial nomination were offered
to him, but we feel safe in saying that he is
the most popular young man in the state,
and that it is not at all improbable that be

the minds of "A majority of the delegates
when the convention meets. We advise
our friends in soma other rOrtiODs Of the

| the gubernatorial nomination.
