The County Board of Supervisors fin
lshed It's labors here on Saturday morn
ing and adjourned sine die. The county
tax this year amounts to $50, 900, being
about $4,000 more than last year.
Among the resolutions adopted was
one giving the publication of the pro-
ceedings of the Board to The Water
town Weltbuerger at one-half the legal
rates.
The new sherif's residence and iail
is now completely under roof, and work
on the inside will be pushed to COM

ton of the County Board the old Jail
Will be sold to the highest bidder, con-
ditioned upon its removal.
It is evident that the number of ap-
plications from this county for positions
in Madison under the. new order of

The publication of the mysterious
disappearance of d. w. LeavenworGh
from his residence here last January
has caused considerable talk, but
whether the authorities will. or can
take any steps to solve the mystery,
still remains to be seen. Mr.. Leaven-
worth was but little known in this COM
munity, where he had only resided for
about six months, but his old neighbors
at Lowell, where he has lived for sew
eeral years, speak of him as quiet and
1noftensive old gentleman. w.

VISITING MANNERS.
Little Points of Etiquette That Should BE-
Carefully Observed

Little Points of Etiquette That Should Be-
Carefully Observed !
Many of US who pride ourselves on our
good-breeding are singularly blind as toa
what is due to friends who are visitings
people unknown to us, or who are enr
. tertaining guests whom we have never
met Nor are we more assured as tOs
some of the points of etiQu toWard
our own guests and to our own hostS
when we make an occasional fitting
from home.
1t is useless to decry etiquette by say
ing that the best manners in all cases
are those which hurt no one. This Isl
true as general law but there always
are some points which leave no room for
experiments as to what will hurt an
other, and which yet may be settled
once for all by few rules.
Ii you have an acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
you to meet, it is your duty to CALI
promptly, and if possible offer some hos
pitality to both guests and hosts.
If the position is reversed, and your
friend is visiting people unknown to-
you, never go to see your friend with
out leaving card for the hostess. If
you give any entertainment for the
friend, be very sure to invite her hosts
also. 1t does not follow that your invita-
tion will be accepted. but if it is, the
hostess must be treated as the guest OF
honor and shown every Difference. If,
/ for instance, the entertainment is a
luncheon for young ladies', she may he
81 al :. 4 4 -
table opposite to your own.
II the mutual friend is your guest, you
may be sure that, II she is q woman OF
good breeding, she, in turn, will accept
no invitation which does not include
you, although you may think best to-
decline it and insist upon her going
alone. Nor will she receive visitors
without asking you to join them in tbe
parlor, should her friends be rudB
enough TO have sent you no cards.
Here, too, you may excuse yourself, or
ut most, join thsm with such delay as to
give them short interview alone.
These same rules hold good for you
when you are the guest Before yor 90
TO make the visit, send word TO your
friends where and with whom you are
to stay, so that there may be no Idea
that you are in boArding-house, and
therefore mistress OF your time and sur
roundings. This constant Difference to
your hostess should lead you TO order
all letters and packages to be addressed
to her care.
AS to the disposal OF your time, when
you are visiting, no etiquette requires
you to accept all ths plans OF yousf
hostess, - you feel unable to do SO; bn1
care Is needed to show that refusal
means lack Of strength, not lack of in
berest and inclination. With little
tact on both sides, you will have many
hours for your own.
Indeed, skilful hostess will manage
to secure you this privilege, and not
make the mistake Of working too hard
to amuse you, and so absorb every mo-
ment of your visit into her idea Of wha4
is pleasure for you.
No greater compliment is possible
than the quiet acceptance Of your pres-
ence in the intimacy of family life.-A

BRAZILIAN STREET CARS.
Every Business Man in that Country
Dependent on Them.
Rio Cor. ". Y. Tribune.

The street cars here are known as
bonds, term loosely attributed to Yam
kee origin, the first railways having
been introduced from America and
heavily bonded. Mr.. Lamaureux states
that the cars were originally known as
"vaccas de leite" (milch cows because
the mules drawing them carried bells;
but that bonds became popular sub
stitute, the tickets being confounded
with the bonds of the first internal loan
issued about that time.
Whatever may have been the origin
of the name. the bond is indispensable
TO comfort and even to life in Rio. In
the heat of the day walking is very
dangerous, and the distances to the
suburbs are so great that every business
man is dependent upon the street cars.
There is an inclined railway by which
the lovely residence district of Santa
Thereza is approached and the Corco-
vado is ascended by a Riggenbach rail
way.
The bond connects every suburb with
the heart of the city, and is almost the
only vehicle in the streets. Carriages
are seldom ased here. astonished an

DON'T SEND 1T.
What Abraham Lincoln Said to His
Grim War Secretary.

Abraham Lincoln must by future
generations which read the history of
his life, not yet altogether made. be re-
garded as one of the most unique char
acters in history, SAYS the New York
Herald. Even to those who by force
of circumstances were most in his com
pany he was ever developing a new
side. Grim, revengeful Stanton, his
War Secretary, never quite knew how
to take him. Stanton was for exter-
minating such elements as dared to ask
questions 1t is related that once some
one had refused TO understand an order,
or. at all events, had not obeyed. 81
believe Ill sit down." said Stanton,
"and give that man piece of my
mind" ''Do So" said Lincoln; write
him now, while you have it on your
mind. Make it sharp; cut him all up. f"
Stanton did not need a second invita-
tion. 1t was a bone cruncher that he
read TO the President. That's right, -
said Abe; that's a good one. % Whom
can get to send it by?" unused the
Secretary. "Send it' replied Lin
coin; "send it. Why, don't send it at
all. Tear it up. You have freed your
mind on the subject, and that is all
that is necessary. Tear it up. You
never want to send such letters; never
do "

only One Order In Three Years,

Two travelling men were seated In one of
the leading hotels few days ago, when a
third entered in an unassumng manner
and approached the clerks desk. AS he
did so, one of the two said to the other:
"Now, there is man who has soft
thing, II ever fellow had it on earth"
"Why, what does he do?'
'He's a travelling man; runs for one of
the biggest concerns in the country; gets a
good salary; and | give you my word he's
only taken one order in three years"
"Oh, come off, now, that's too thin"
"Fact, though, assure you. He has, as
| say, taken but one order in three years. :"
"Why, man, it can't be so. There isn't
house on earth that would stand it five
minutes. Who does he travel for, anyway?
I'll bit them for job myself"
"He travels for suspension bridge com
pany."
An immediate adjournment was taken to

ing beverage Cincinnati Commercial Ga

countess said at the conclusion of the
last interview with her, lin fact, have

wild oats, and have suffered for It. All

wife"
Curiously enough Fraulein Marie is
full of admiration for the countess,
speaks of her as the grandest of women,
and is anxious to be her companion
through life.
The countess is Of middle height, with
good chest, heavy shoulders, and well
developed arms and legs. She has short,
curly dark hair, hazel eyes, saucy nose,
and a Cupid's bow mouth. Although
the lines of her face have been somewhat
deepened and hardened by her fast life,
she still looks like handsome, dashing
young fellow of 20 years.

A CONTEST OF rELnaHApnr.
what Constitutes a "Crack oporat


what Constitutes a "Crack Operator
from hc Ncw York Star1
see that the two great patrons of
fast telegraphy, Walter p. Phillips and
Fred. Catlin, are arranging for a tour
nament, in which the best known fast
sending operators in the country are to
combine. Mr.. Phillips was famous
operator just after the war. He Is now
at the head of the United Press Mr.
Catlin Is very fast sender himself and
is one of the chiefs of the Western
Union Company. All the crack local
seDders, such as John Robson, Frank
j. Kihm, James Bradt, John G. Nc
Closkey, William Gibson and Charles
w. Miner have already entered the
lists.
An effort will probably be made to
have the swiftest of the women op.
orators 90 into the contest. The tour
nament will be held in the Western
Union building, and there is a good
deal of speculation among the 5000 or
1000 operators in the city as to the re.
suit. Robson won the first prize in
the last tournament three years ago,
making record which has never since
ten consecutive minutes Years ago
when General Eckert, Bob Martin
and Mr.. Phillips were the "cracka.
jacks" they told great stories of fast
sending. Martin, the only one of the
trio who has held his grip" went
into the last tournament, but though he
made good showing, he could not
hold the pace the young fellows set
him. Robson is the favorite for the
coming contest.
Probably the best sender that ever
touched a key was William ]. Curtis
/ have known men to stand for hours
over an instrument that was carrying
his sending. Perfect sending is as sweet
music to n man who loves telegraphy as
the strains of a standard opera, and
Curtis Is to this day extolled by the
men who worked with him as the ideal
operator. I see him on Broadway occa-
sionally. He gave up telegraphing
some time ago, and is now quite pros
porous. But the fast senders are not
the men who are the most desirable op.
orators. The men who can receive the
fast sending is the one who gets the
credit.
The operator who has both accom-
plishments and is intelligent can always
get employment with one of the great
press associations at a salary from 90 to
30 per cent. above what he would re-
ceive from telegraph company,
Though women have become quite a
factor in the telegraph world, few have
ever attained prominence. OF the
thousand in the city to day not twenty
five would be rated first-class. They
learn more quickly than do boys or
men, but they seem to lack the two
great requisites for future development
high nervous energy and strong will

1T PROVED A MASCOT,
A Lost Diamond Found Through the
Aid of Silver Dollar.

Miss Emily Rigl, while playing
Marina in "Mr. Barnes of New York, "
in Houston, Texas, at a matinee per-
formance recently lost one of the dia-
monds from bracelet. When the
curtain descended on the first act she
looked carefully about the stage and
her dressing. room but could find no
trace of the missing stone. Miss Rigl
said nothing of her loss at the time,
but intended making a thorough search
The following evening. On going to
her loom in the hotel she found huge
pie of fruit, on top of which was a
box cf bon bons and silver dollar, with
note containing the following: "Be.
cause you were so good"
Miss Rigl tried in vain to discover
the donor. She, however, decided to
keep the coin for luck. That night 0
careful observer might have seen Miss
Rigl's face change its expression during
the third act. The business of the
situation required her TO sit upon the
sofa pretty well up the stage, so that
the footlighis cast a reflection upon q
shining substance at her feet. I'm.
mediately at the fall of the curtain she
picked up what proved to be the dia
n ond she had lost the previous after
noon. Miss Rigl has ever since be
lieved that to the silver dollar she Owet
her good fortune, and she still carries /
as a talisman.

Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint, OF
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years / suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed ne, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that i took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla | could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
| proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
| directions, / found myself a well
woman, able TO attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me d
new lease of life"
