They Are CLAD to Know Him Now.


A New Yorker Of very limited mean
recently got a bequest, the news Of
which was printed in the papers. AS
soon as the fact became known he got
heavy m;ils that brought him letters
from all kinds of charitable societies in
need of aid, and from a host of the suf-
fercrs by impecuniosity. He also found
more callers at his house than there ever
before had been knockers at his door,
and he likewise enjoyed when in tho
streets the sight of many moro smiling
faces than he had previously been ac-
quainted with. Never until this month
had he realized the attractive power of
the mighty 8. He now finds that his de-
ceased bachelor uncle, who left him a
bequest, has endowed him with some
thing else not set down in the last will,
to wit. cynicism.-Ncw York Sun.

A %Salamander Clock.

That q clock would continue to run in
the midst of roaring flames for any
length of time few people would be-
lieve, yet that such was the case in the
fire which destroyed the Sycaway villa
near Troy has been proved conclusively.
From the ruins of the building was
taken a small calendar clock. The
hands had stopped at 11:40 o'clock, OF
nearly an hour and a half after the fire
broke out. The calendar dial showed
the hand at Sunday. The clock was de-
stroyed by the heat and flames beyond
all hope of repair. 1t must have con
tinued to II long after the villa was a
blackened ruin. 1t was found in the
center of a pile of debris.-Albany Ex-

OPPOSITION TO SUB TREASURES.

Alliance Not Unanimous for the Plan.
Doings of the National Convention.
OcALA, Fla, Dec. 3..-The Alliance
convention met in regular session. A
resolution was adopted providing a COM
mittee of from each state delegs-
ton to investigate the conduct of Mr..
McCune, chairman of the national exec
9tive committee, of Livingston, presi-
dent of the Georgia state alliance, and
President Polk, in reference to the
Georgia s~enatorship, it having been
charged that,these gentlemen were in
fuenced in their action by. monied con-
sideration. The committee is empowered
to Investigate any other charges with
which any of the officers are accused.
1t seems evident that a fight on the
su~b:treasuIy plan will arise during the
session. The opposition claim that this
plan violates the Alliance constitution
in regard to rights and special privi-
leges.

There is a woman in New York who keeps

coquettes, and instead of walking on rose
leaves she treads IN golden eagles Seats

are no graded courses of study, no eX-

intolerable smashing of piano keys.
Aspirants for degrees can go to the Har-
ward annex. Would be grenadiers are di-
rected to Holyoke and Columbia, and blue
stockings are advised to enter local high
schools and universities for Intellectual

secret is made about it, either. Square
shoulders are rounded into De Milo grace;
fiat soles are raised by judicious foot COW
erings; high foreheads sheltered by kiss
curls; harsh voices lowered Il whole tone;
angular elbows turned in; stiff joints lOos-

neighbors might for themselves see how
handsome she had grown. He had spared no
expense to buy her a handsome new gown
for the occasion, and it was made up in the
latest style when she came to have her
daguerreotype taken. We posed her and
propped up her head with the nippers, and
there she was, the ~stiffest, most unlovely
specimen of a woman that ever was seen.
You know it took some time to burn in a
daguerreotype, and she began to look
tagged before the process was completed.

heard an awful crash, as though the house
was tumbling down. Running out he
found the husband hopping around, wiring

too tight! She too tightl'' His frau had
fallen over backward through the back
ground in a dead faint. The operator
took in the situation at a glance, and
