Escaping an Embarrassment.

4 local newspaper man who went
DOWN TO visit his wife at TIE seashore
recently had a very narrow escape from
causing what, to put it mildly, would
have been talk. His wife was. boarding
at the Blank house. It seems that there
is also New Blank house at this resort.
Ignorant of that fact, when the young
journalist espied a porter with Blank
house on his cap he said to himself,
This is my place. and he allowed the
porter to pilot him over to the hotel.
On arriving there he asked, as q matter
of form, if lady of a certain name, Civ
ing his own, was staying there. On be-
ing assured that she was he remarked
that he guessed he would go up to see
her. II don't believe she is up yet" re-
marked the clerk. -"Oh, that doesn't
make any difference" the other respond
ed confidently; I'm go up" The clerk
stared at him, but finally gave him the
number of the room and sent porter
along with him. "She must be up by
this time" he remarked to the porter;
"the baby wouldn't let her stay in bed"
''The baby? Why, she has 10 baby"
the porter said. Reiteration and denial
followed, and finally it entered the jour
nalst's mind that it was possible for
lady of the sanie name as his wife to be
staying at that hotel. The matter was
finally Strengthened out and ne found
his wife at another hotel.-W Washington

SIGNS of War ON Rrnahunr.

A procession of odd and dilapidated
looking vehicles, fastened together and
hitched to the tail of large two horse
truck, excited considerable interest as it
proceeded numbering along Broadway
from South ferry.
The horses were pretty well tagged
out by the time they reached the inter
section of Park row, and the driver Of
the truck halted opposite the Astor
house to give them rest and breathing
spell.
The vehicles, which consisted of four
timbers and gun carriages, two of which
were surmounted by four-inch bore
field pieces Of an antique pattern, were
soon surrounded by large crowd Of
idlers and curiosity seekers.
The guns and carriages were marked
for the Commanding Officer, Watervliet
Arsenal. West Troy, n. Y" The truck
driver explained that they were from
Governors island, and were en- transit
for shipment to the West Troy arsenal.

weighed 2.2o0 pounds each, and the
pieces Of ordnance 500 pounds each, or
l0,400 pounds together, which besides
the truck and driver, made good sized
load for team Of horses TO draw on a

Burglars, View Of a Strike.

At first sight one would suppose that
the class above all others that would
hail with delight a general strike Of po-
lice would be the burglars. CuriouSly
enough this is not so. The professional
burglar is dead against such a strike;
for, ss he correctly ressons, though the
police ceased to protect property, prop
erty would not thereby be left unpTo-
tected In fact it would be protected
al the more by the owners themselves,
and the burglars special knowledge, &C
quired from local observation Of the
habits Of the police. would for the time
being be useless. In the police the burg
lar knows exactly what he has to cope
with. When every householder Is his
own policeman. however, it is different,
for the burglar is quite ignorant Of the
weapons that may be waiting to receive
him in any gwen case.-London Aer-

millions of small Evergreens, com
prising some fifty varieties, and
about tae same lumber of Ornamen-

These Nurseries now serve about
three thousand customers annually,
whose orders range all the way from
one dollar to one thousand dollars
or more each. A stenographer and
typewriter is employed for the cor
respondence. During the digging
and packing season twenty five to
thirty men are employed and about
fifteen to twenty are required to take
care of the trees during the growing
season. These Nurseries are making
a specially of plants for Evergreen
Hedges, and have several millions
ready for sale. of three or four of the

the penitentiary for the person who
attempted to sell it for butter. If
there was any merit or honesty in

Elkton's Proposed New Charter

A town meeting of the citizens of
EIkton have agreed on revision of
the town charter embracing the fol-
lowing provisions.
Instead of five town commissioners
being elected annually without salary,
a president will be elected next
April for two year. and two for one
year. The commissioners will re-
ceive a salary of $25 a year, with
$25 additional to the secretary. The
town bailiff instead of being elected
by the popular vote will be appoint
ed by the commissioners at a salary
of 5000. His duties include lighting
the lamps. The bailff will not col.
lect the taxes as formerly, but this
will be done by the town treasurer, q
new official, who will receive $3.50
per annum. The date of the town
election is changed from the first
Monday in May to the second Mon.
day in April. The tax limit is 80
cents on the 500, and property
must be assessed once in ten years
or oftener. The commissioners are
empowered to pay an amount not to
exceed $500 yearly to a water.works
company for the use of water by the
town in extinguishing fires. II is
thought with this lnducement a COM
pany will build works in Elkton.
The commissioners will be required
to pay to the town treasurer one half
of the amount levied on the lease
hold property of the town. The
commission ers are empowered to
issue bonds to the amount of SO 900
for twenty years at per cent. for
the purpose or erecting town build.
ing to store hose, engines. etc, and
in which town council will meet.
They are permitted to levy an addi-
tional per cent, per hundred for
this purpose if necessary.
