Judge Lochren decided the case of P.
B. Bitter against Emily P. Campbell
for the plaintiff, thus securing the title
to some half dozen lots on Eleventh
avenue south to the holders under a
mortgage sale made twelve years ago.
The defendant attacked the foreclosure
as Invalid, but as twelve years had
lapsed without hearing from the mat
ter. Judge Lochren ruled for the plant

irregularities in the sale.

In a moment OF inspiration Col. Taylor,
the proprietor Of that wonderfully sue
cessful paper, conceived the idea OF
Offering thousand dollar sword to be
voted for by the friends of the Grand
Army veterans. 1t was a peculiarly ap-
propriate plan for attracting attention,
on account Of the national Grand Army
reunion held last week in Boston. Its
success must hare assonished Col Tay-
lor himself. It has increased the circu-
lation of his paper forty or fifty
thousand copies per day, much of
which is likely to be permanent
growth. Orders for extra copies
have poured in from all parts Of the
country, and the presses have been
busy for weeks printing two page sheets,
one of them containing the voting
coupon. The Boston Globe is, by the
way, itself an example of what novelty
and daring will do in the way Of win
ming readers for a paper. 1t is type,
and Col. Taylor is a representative, OF
the new school of journalism, which
consists of making as good paper as
money can make-as good as any other
paper-snd then pushing it upon the
public notice and into the public favor
by a succession of novel projects.
1t was Col. Taylor who first tried the
experiment of Offering prizes for the
best ideas to be used in this manner in a
newspaper Office. That was three or
four years ago. and have heard it said
that the suggestions which came pour
ing In, and which cost but q few hun
bred dollars, have been worth $500, 900 to
plan a short time ago, and astonished
himself, no doubt, and his readers be-
sides with the results. The simple truth
is that ideas are worth money in the
newspaper world, just as they are in the
field Of invention. The young news
paper man who has good idea should
not give it away. One idea which may
be made to result in a successful stroke
in New York, Boston or Chicago is worth
as much to a man as five years Of pains
taking work. Two years ago young
man from a country town came to me in
Washington fora letter of introduction
to Col. Cockerill, of The World. He
had determined to seek employment in
New York.

'rbut I'll give you something better than

CORK, Aug. 6.-The traveller should
not be contept with merely cursory e1-
animation of the city Of Queenstown.
He will not find many pronounced OBJ
jects of interest in the city itself, but
In It's environs there are many land
scape scenes, ancient abbeys and other
objects Of interest to captivate the eye
and to stimulate the fancy. The Vale
Of Glenmore, for instance, only two
miles from Queenstown, is worthy Of
miles from the city is the tomb OF the
Rev. Charles Wolfe, the author of "The
Burial of Sir John Moore" Leaving
Queenstown the traveller will find the
ancient town of Youghal to be worth
seeing. OF all the quaint towns in Ire
land this is probably the quaintest. In
it, in good state of preservation, is the
residence of the late Sir Walter Raleigh,
and the caretaker will show the visitor
where this celebrated gentleman planted
the first Irish potato in his grounds. This
is what the caretaker says, but Of course
it wasn't really an Irish potato at that
time. 1t hadn't been naturalized, so to
speak.
Cork will not be of particular interest
to the American traveller, because it so
closely resembles busting New Eng
land town. The Protestant church Of
st. Fin Bars, and also the Roman Cath
Ole church of st. Peter and st. Paul,
are both worth seeing. To the romantic
mind, however, the Mardyke road will
furnish the most pleasurable emotions.
This is where the Cork lovers go for an
evening stroll. 1t is just within the en-
virons of the city, and Is about the
length of the Brooklyn bridge. 1t is
lighted by gas and is beautifully shaded
by overarching trees. OF course no
traveller will miss going to the famous
Blarney Castle. 1t is only about ten
miles from Cork. 1t is reached by a
small railway, the price of the trip back
and forth being only forty cents. If
one gives the caretaker twenty-five
cents to show him over the castle that
useful person will be quite satisfied. SO
Blarney Castle may be seen from Cork
for less than dollar.
Most American tourists, however, have
paid about $40 for this privilege.
Don't be foolish enoughsto believe that
the rock pointed outrby the guide is the
genuine Blarney stone. Tens of thou
sands have kissed stone under this mis-
taken impression, and they have proba-
bly, wondered why their luck didn't inn
prove afterward. The genuine stone,
which was originally brought from
Palestine, and which bears the inscnp
ton cut into it four centuries ago, Il
located in the wall of the castle at least
thirty feet from the top. To kiss 1t q
man would have to be lowered by ropes
and then he would have difficulty in &C
oomplishing his purpose, as it is covered
with luxuriant ivy vine. Z. J.

Bits of Foreign Life in New York.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-On Washing
ton street a small colony of Mohammed-
ans affords considerable fun to the boys
of the neighborhood. They seem to be
quite strict in observing the forms of
their faith, and go through the washing
of the hands at meals, the frequent use
of the prayer rug, and the kneeling to-
ward Mecca with great regularity. They
never drink stimulants, eat sparingly
and of the simplest foods, and conduct
themselves with oriental propriety and
dignity. They appear to be natural
born peddlers, and while not receiving
very large profits manage to put by never
less than a dollar day for future en-
ioyment in the lands of the sultan.
Cuba must be in bad way politically
and financially, if we are to Judge from
the number of her citizens who arrive
here every week. All the hotels and
boarding houses which cater to them are
overcrowded. In many callings the
Cubanos have come TO occupy so promi-
nent place as to attract general notice.
They have several restaurants down
IL,
American dishes as dried Goldfish and
red peppers, guava marmalade and
breadsticks, and stewed tomatoes, bacon
and onions. Nearly all of them are
ultra Republicans and strong annexa-
| tionists.
Though the African slave trade was
abolished in the beginning Of the cent
ury, and there is but little trade be-
tween the United States and the Dark
Continent" there is nevertheless slow
but constant inflow of the Ethiopian
race to this country. Most of it comes
from the West Indies, but a good per
centage is drawn from all those seaports
where there are black seafaring people.
The best neighborhood to see these new
corners is that of the sailors boarding
houses near the water front. One reason
Of their liking the New World is the

THE World INDUCED in number OF
such contests, and reused so much pub
lie interest that the circulation OF the
paper jumped up many thousands. But
it was found that as soon as contest
had been decided the sales dropped back
again. Mr.. Puhtzer's cable dispatches
keep him as closely advised Of the prog
ress Of affairs in the business Office as OF
the editorial department, and when those
ominous drops in circulation were flashed
across the sea TO him he promptly caoled,
What does this meanY In reply Col.
Cockerin said he attributed 1t 10 cessa-
ton Of interest in the voting contests,
whereupon Mr.. Pulitzer returned. No
more voting contests IN The World.
Thus is has happened that The World,
which was the first paper 10 take up the
voting scheme, was the first to drop It.

of the efficacy of novel plan in build

said the gentleman. Last year The
World made a net profit Of 81 200 900.
The receipts from The Sunday World
alone are enough to pay the entire ex-
pense of the establishment, leaving the
earnings Of the paper on the other SIX
days and of The Weekly World as clear
profit. There is no other paper in the
world that makes half SO much profit.
Probably The New York Herald is earn
ing three or four hundred thousand dol
lars year. There are other papers in
New York which earn small fortunes
every year. The Chicago Tribune makes
a net yearly profit Of $500, 900 for its
owners, and The News makes half as
much. What The Chicago Herald makes
is not known, for the reason that about
all of its profits, which are very large,
go into new presses and buildings"
docs Mr.. Pulitzer keep close eye upon
his journalY" asked.
HE thinks of nothing else. He de-
votes all his time to the paper. If he is
in Europe an outline of the contents OF
the paper is cabled him every morning.
Usually this is done by transmitting the
headlines of the more important articles.
If The World has any exclusive items
of news-news which no other paper has
this is often cabled him in full, and
Mr.. Pulitzer measures the value of a
mans work largely by the number Of
exclusive items he is able to send in.
Every exclusive brings a complimentary
letter from Mr.. Pulitzer himself, and
succession Of exclusives ELECTS reward in
the shape of fat check or other hand
some present. Mr.. Pulitzer, like Mr..
Bennett Of The Herald, is in constant
communication with his assistants by
cable, and the policy of the paper is
dictated by him from day to day. He
often cables over editorials which he has
himself written anent the news Of the
previous day, and nothing could illus
trate better than this the wonderful
facilities there are in this day for man
on one side of the ocean keeping himself
en- rapport with what is happening on
the other side.
'Mr. Pulitzer is a hard worker. He
has built up his paper on ideas, on prof.
ects for attracting the public attention,
on novelties, and he has himself fur
nished many of the most successful plans
Of campsign. Though he has an income
Of s., 200, 900 year from The World and
kaOo, 600 from The St. Louis Post-Dis-

along at work. His health, as you know,
Is very poor, and his eyesight has almost
failed him, but he shuts himself in a
dark room, has tie dispatches and the
papers read to him by his secretary, and
dictates his replies and instructions.
Scarcely a day passes in which Col. Cock
Grill and his associates of the staff are
not surprised by the evidences placed
before them of Mr.. Pulitzer's activity
and ingenuity. He is singularly in
ventive man. For instance, the plan OF

How to Trim a Hat.

For trimming hats the velvet or silk
rosettes are much in vogue, They are
easily made-after one knows how.
You must conclude how lar ge arosette
YOU want, and widen or narrow your
material to suit the size. The rose tie
most fancied is just about the size OF a
rose, and the material, cut on the
bias, is folded to be an inch wide. The
stSip is then gathered and drawn into
shape, it being fastened in that way on
a circle of stiff net. Sew it secure ly
and do not attempt to plat it to shape
it must be gathered. One, two OF
three rosettes are used and the number
usually decides the size. An eighth
of a yard of velvet, cut on the bias,
will make one medium-sized rosette'
and this seems to be that best liked.
Amateurs usually err in over-trimmine
a hat or bonnet; so as straw ones are
not as troublesome to arrange as those
of velvet. do n OF commit this fault. Il

The Dog Was Astonished.

4 singular electric-wire accident was
seen the other day in Boston The
attention of passers-by was attracted
by the barking of a red Irish setter to
an English sparrow, which was perched
upon an eIectric-light wire high above
the beasts head. The animal had evil
IDENTIFY been amusing himself in the
fruitless sport of chasing the bird, and
when it had taken refuge on high had
endeavored to get some consolation
out of yelping Justify. Fhe day was
windy and the wire swayed to and fro,
the sparrow apparently enjoying its
swing until in a fatal moment the tail
of the bird came in contact with anoth-
er wire near by. Then. in the twink
ling of an eye, the unlucky sparrow
came tumbling down stone dead at the
feet of the noisy dog, who was so as
tonished at this sudden turn of affairs
that he didn't offer to pick the crea-
ture up, but simply stopped barking
and stood staring at his prey in aston
iShment.

About Men and Women.

When a woman gets cross, she gets
cross ut everybody.
Smile at some women, and they will
tell YOU all the troubles they ever had.
When a woman can wash fiannels so
they will not shrink, she knows enough
to get married.
A women is never so badly in love
that she does not try to find out the
cost of her engagement ring.
One of our delicate women will never
admit that she is hungry; she will say
that she is feeling little faint.
There is only one thing that pleases
woman more than to be referred to as
a dove, and that is to hear man referred
to as hawk.
A woman never becomes so intelli-
gent that she learns that it is no pleas
ure to others to hear her coax her chill
dren to speak piece.
A man who attempts to tiatter you
takes you for fool.
Man, like the fire, is apt to torment
women by going out at night. t.-Boston

The ParneU of To-Day.

Charles Stewart Parnel usually
wears loosely fitting cut-away-coat.
He wears it until it is shiny, then he
wears it until it is shabby, and then he
keeps on wearing it. Parnell has
grown very old looking in the past few
years. The bald spot on his head has
increased perceptihly in size, and the
grey hairs in his beard are growing
more numerous. There is a constant
" troubled expression upon his face
and he seldom smiles or indulges in
light conversation. After he becomes
worn out with work he disappears,
sometimes for weeks, and no one
knows where to look for him. He
drops as completely out of the world
as if he had dropped into his grave.

A Temperance Lesson.

l heard an instructive conversation
yesterday between two old topers, in
a certain chophouse in this city. A
dray went by laden with barrels filled
with some kind of liquor. The old
topers were struck with the size of the
barrels, and one said to the other:
Tom, those hogsheads hold more
than even YOU ever drunk in your life,
and that's saying a good deal"
Yes, replied " his companion, ''more
than ever drunk, but not half what
you've drunk, JIM"
'What are you talking about?"
':About just what l mean. Pll bet
you quart of champagne, and leave it
to the proprietor. that l can prove by
your own mouth that you have drunk
twice as much liquor in your life as
those hogsheads could hold.
Done"
The proprietor was called; the bet
was stated to him, and the proof was
begun. Said Tom:
Jim, how old are you?" Fifty,

'When l was about 21." And you
have drunk steadily every since?'
Yes" How many drinks do you
average day?" This was a delicate
question. But after some discussion,
Jim owned up to six drinks a day,
Tom was magnanimous. Said he: %

Boiling Lakes in California.

About one hundred miles north of
Oroville, at the foot of old Lassen,
there is boiling lake covering several
acres. The depth of the lake is un-
known, but its entire surface constant
ly boils like huge kettle. The de-
gree of heat we do not know, but we
were there about ten years ago, and
remember distinctly that it would
scald the skin from the fingers in
very few seconds. Our party agreed
that it would boil an egg in four min
utes. The smell of sulphur pervaded
the atmosphere about the lake, and
around its borders something like
sulphur could be scraped up in hand
fuls This lake is near Hot Spring
Valley, at the base of Mt. Lassen. Be-
tween it and the mountain there are
perhaps a thousand boiling. bubbling
hot springs, and in tramping about
these springs the soles of persons
shoes become uncomfortably warm.
The North Feather River, at the base
of Lassen, in its trickling SHOWS and
springs and in clear, cold and beau

through this community of hot springs.
Some of these springs bubble up boil

Standing in the midst of these springs
a peculiar sensation is experienced. At
thousand places the earth emits a
vapor of smoke, while under the sur
face there is a jarring, roaring noise as
if hundreds of steam engines were in
operation, and the ominous trembling
Of the earth produces feeling of un-

A short distance south of the Boiling
lake near Willow Lake, which is
beautiful, cold, and clear, there are
several geysers that shoot up streams
of hot water from five to ten feet in
