Housekeepers are put to their wits
ends this autumn for winter supplies in
the way of relishes and preserves. All
fruit is so scarce and so high that such
table goodies have become this year posi-
tive luxuries. In this regard II Brooklyn
woman was overheard the other morning
to make a remark nearly as unique in its
way as the famous one of Marie Antoin-
cite anent the starving Partisan popu-
lace. Her Brooklyn prototype had in
quired the price of plums at a grocer's
and resentfully replied to the high rate
he gave her: "Why, l can preserve moth.
ing this fall at such prices; my family
will have to live on canned and dried
fruits"-wholly overlooking the fact that
the French queens "buns from the pas
try cooks" were scarcely more accessible
than her alternative will be during the
coming season New York Times.

THE LOBBY LoITERER.


The Dog and the Dollar.
Pretty nearly everyone knows that
George W Brown, the ieweler, owns n
dog. The dogs name is Tony and he is
probably the only dog in the world hat
knows the difference between a good dol
lar and a counterfeit dollar. The animal
has become such an expert and his skill
or instinct or whatever it is has been
praised SO much that Brown would Just
as soon part with his right arm as to give
up the dog. Up to a few days ago Tony
had never failed IN detecting a counterfeit
dollar, but for q while it looked as though
he had lost his grip. There was a silver
dollar taken in trade by a merchant which
happened to be about the most moasly,
notified looking piece Of coin that was
ever passed over a counter. The mer-
chant took it TO a bank with his deposit
and the gentlemanly cashier threw 1t out
as no good. Then the merchant sold it
to a speculative friend Tor 50 cents. This
gentleman happened into Browns store.
He believed the coin to be counterfeit
and so did Brown, but he threw it to the
dog. Instead of walking away with an
air OF stately disdain, Tony, to the amaze
ment of Brown, picked the coin up in his
mouth sud carried it to his master.
Brown could scarcely believe his eyes
lie threw the coin on the floor again and
Tony picked it up. Browns Jaw dropped

DEMAGOGUERY IN LEGISLA-
TTON

AAA-~ aAAHN NH-%'HaNH"
1t is quite true, as The LEADER says,
that demsgoguery Is st the bottom Of
nine-tenths of practical politics. The
inspiration of much legislation is the
thought in the mind Of the legislator
this will make me or my narty solid
with the worklnRman' and the secret
cause Of much opposition to good l~egisla-
ton is the equally selfish thought that
the opponent can make a point for him
self with the workingman or some other
influential class o. voters.
This Is especially true of labor legisla-
ton and wages exemption bills. No mat
ter how honest or conservative a bill may
be there are plenty Of ~demagoSues to de-
nounce it as a calamity to the poor work
inGmAn, when as n matter Of TACT no one
but a dishonest man would suffer from it.
We hope the legislature will frame some
kind OF a law for the protection Of our
merchants against dead beats.
The present exemption Of 500 is too
much. This, with the exemption Of
homestead, teams, tools, household goods,
etc, enable a dishonest man to hold over
81, 500 worth of property which a creditor
cannot touch. This is obviously unfair
and is simply encouraging the dishonest
debtor.

When a visitor called at the jail early
last evening he found Charley Miller, the
boy murderer. engaged 10 the prosaic
occupation of mcndlng some rent in his
shirt. During yesterday he received a
letter from his brother Fred In Leonards
vile, Ks, stating that he couldn't como
here. The brother as we'll as the wife of
his guardian appear To be under the i'm
preston that Miller is destined for Joliet.
In letters received from both of them they
ask if he will be taken to the pcnitentiary
by way OF Manhattan. If he Is they s,y
they will make a point of seeing him on
the train. Mrs. LoOiborough advises him
to say his prayers regularly aud to put his
faith in tho Lord
His sister, who is said to be quite an
accomplished young lady living in Buff
ialo, n. Y, Is not vet aware of hIs con-
diton. Miller's father died about ten
years ago and left an estate valued at
81 900. This money has been accumula-
ting interest since then. There are four
heirs to it. When Miller was asked how
he came 20 get the name Of kansas
Charley he said
"OE I've had that for the last two
years | gave it to myself, and you'll
find it registered on all the water tanks
between here and New York"
When he was taken into the Jail after
the Jury had returned a verdict he was
asked by one Of the prisoners II he ex
pected to be hanged. Yes" he replied,
II sort OF think that is about what they
will give me" He sleeps soundly and
eats heartily and doesn't appear to be
worried in the least about his future. His
principal occupation is found in playing
checkers He has made a board himself.
His cellmate IS a man named Edwards
who was sent to Jail for thirty days by
Judge Lee for petit larceny. They play
the game by the hour aud never seem to
tire of it. On the night of the day the
verdict was rendered they played I'M
til midnight and Miller, If anything, was
less concerned than the man who was
convicted of petit larceny.

The weekly newspapers of the state are
setting up a righteous TO ar because they
have no means Of securing copies Of the
bills which are pending before the leGisla
ture and are therefore sometimes left in
the dark as to tho nature of bills which
may seriously affect the communities in
which these papers are published. The
expenses Of providing the newspapers
with copies Of every bill printed would
scarcely be appreciable and the amount of
good which would result from it might be
be great. This matter should have re-
ceived attention at the commencement Of
the session but 1t is not ever now too late.

1t will perhaps be news to many to
learn that the genial Doug Rhodes Is a
mind reader. He mystified the lobby the
other evening by performing successfully
one of the most severe tests in the whole
range of hypnotic science. Six persons
wrote sentences upon slips of paper which
they sealed in envelopes. The envelopes
were handed to Doug, who before open
ing them told in almost exact words what
we're written upon the slips. The normal
mental equilibrium of the lobby was only
restored by a round OF apolinaris.

asylum at Tongue POinte, nine
miles from here, caught fire at half
pas. eleven this morning. At two
O'Clock il i n mass OF flames, with
no hope of saving the building
from utter destruction. As nearly
as can be calculated at this hour,
there are from a hundred 10 a hum
dred ami fifty insane inmates In the
burning building, with no chance
Of escape. The fire apparatus
at the asylum is utterly
inadequate. Several steamers
have been forwarded from
here on a special train. The sights
on the grounds surrounding the in
stitution are horrible beyond descrip-
ton. Hundreds of lunatics, male
and female, are grouped together
gibbering and In a frehzied con-
di.ion. The nuns are making every
effort to control them and ailay their
fears, and as rapidly as possible the
poor creatures are being removed to
places Of shelter In the neighbor-
hood. a few minutes past O'Clock
a detachment Of the Montreal fire
brigade arrived on the scene and are
now Going good work.

RAISED DOWN ASHES.
A PECULIAR PHENOMENON IN MEX
ICO-ASHEs FROM A CLOUD
LESS SKY.

A rain OF ashes fell a few days
ago at Guanajuata, Mexico. The
Tfro Repub,scs. Of the City Of Mex
leo, says:
at commenced about 1850
O'Clock in the morning, when ashes
started to fall in the city from q
cloudless sky, and when there was
no wind prevailing near the earth.
The lower classes were badly fright
ened. thinking that the strange
phenomenon wRs the precursor
OF some dire event The
churches were sought by them,
where they offered up prayers to the
Creator 10 save them from destiuc-
ton. At times the fall Of the gray
material was very thick, resembling
materially n snowstorm. Buildings,
streets, trees and people were COW
cred with ashes at the conclusion Of
the peculiar storm.
The ashsform was very general in
the State of Guanajuata. IL Is the
general opinion that the ashes were
waited BY a northeasterly current Of
air across hundreds Of miles Of conn
try from the active crater Of the
COLUMBIA volcano. Similar ashfalls
have recently been noted in the
State Of Jalisco and near the .ase 81
the Columtia volcano.
