Robert Smythe, the waiter who was
placed in the st. Andrews Jail for an
assault on Manager Carter, Of the Al
gonquin hotel, had his trial last week,
and was sentenced to pay fine Of 81
with costs, $4.75--in all s.. .75-or to be
imprisoned forty days. The female wait
ers in the hotel on hearing the result
raised the amount, and in body went
to the Jail and paid it over to the jailer,
thus securing Smythe's release. They
took Smythe up in their arms and car
ried him from the Jail to the street, and
gave him three hearty cheers. They then
escorted him to the railway station, and
before he stepped on board the car was
embraced and kissed by some of his fe-
male admirers, and as the train moved
off they saluted their protege with
cheers, just the same as men would do.

Going BACK from Gas to Goal.

The scarcity of gas continues to play
the main part in at least dozen of the
leading iron works. The falling off in
supply and the loss of time are now SO
discouraging in some mills that the men
threaten to quit work if the change back
to coal is not soon made. There are
nearly 5000 iron workers on both sides
of the Monongahela river who have av.
eraged little more than half time in the
last three weeks. In about ten mills
the restriction on the output of much
iron alone is at least 200 tons day.
There are number Of firms now which
will commence to prepare for coal to be
used in case gas should give out wher
the weather gets colder. The change il
made in the furnaces as they are being
repaired from time to time. So far al
possible all the mills are run to theil
utmost, but the average is about two
thirds capacity. Pittsburg Chronicle

suicide Of portagnese Author..

A German contemporary, The Voss-
ische Zeitung, draws attention to the
number of suicides which have lately
taken place among Portuguese authors.
Last June the aged poet CASTILLO Bran
CO, the best liked novel writer of the
country, shot himself He was we'll off
and had a numerous family, but had
lately suffered from malady of the
eyes. Shortly before his death he had
written a novel in which voluntary
death was praised as the most beautiful
close to an active life. His funeral was
celebrated like that Of Victor Hugo in
France.
h A few weeks later the author Silva
de Braga took his own life after writ
ing many realistic novels inwhich the
hero always committed suicide. On the
23d of July school director and secre-
tary Of, the municipality Of Almada,
Professor Arthur Mattos Lemos, took
bis life in hotel in Lisbon with a re-
volver. In q letter to his wife he de-
clared that the earthly life offered him
no more room for the development of
his mind. On the 25th of the same
month Professor Frederick Augustus

A, ImDr,soped Fish.

The writer Of the following--a CORE
spondent of The Chattanooga News
evidently wanted to fttingly wind up
the fish story season: Ny cousin owns a
watermill, and in removing some OBJ
structions found an immense log i'm
bedded in the stream, which must have
been submerged for a number Of years.
The log had to be cut in two to remove
it, and much to our surprise we found it
hollow, although it had every appear
ance of being solid. One of the negroes
while examining the log looked into the
hollow, and thought he saw something
moving. He began using his ak, and
soon had the log cut in another place.
Imagine our amazement when we dis
covered live catfish Of enormous size
SO completely wedged in the hollow as
to be unable to move, except to open its
mouth and wiggle its tail The fish was
very lively and apparently in the enjoy
ment Of excellent health. The question
is how did the fish get into the log, as
the only means Of ingress and egress we
could discover was a small round hole,
not more than two inches in diameter.
We surmised that he. must have entered
the little opening when no larger than a
minnow, and grown great in his solitary
confinement.

An Attrnctl,s Novelty.

-Ina leading pipe and smokers sundries
house at Philadelphia is one Of the most
artistic novelties Of the year. It is in the
shape Of q perfect imitation Of the COLI
III, the s1nsIlest singing bird in the
world, and found only in Africa. The
imitation is the exact size Of the real
bird, even to the most minute details Of
the plumage and legs, but what is more
marvellous still is the fact that the imi-
tation epnits from its throat q fong Of
wonderful beauty and sweetness, exact
ly like the original. a., siads6
Z The little bird is placed in an exqui-
lsitely colored tortoise shell box, 2f inches
by sfipches, and when small spring is
pressed q sman silver lid on the top of
the box springs open, the colibri jumps
up like, thing, of life, sings, swings,
moves its tail and wing. and the beak
works IN a perfect manner with the
harmony from its throat. After the
song is finished the bird disappears
within the box and the lid flies shut,
leaving the box perfectly smooth.
This exquisite piece of mechanism is
sold for $75. 1t is said that only one
man in Switzerland can make these, and
that each one takes him month to per-
feet and finish it. It is wonderful
piece of work. and crowds are being at

A Living skeleton.

A living skeleton, who rivals some Of
those who figure in the museums, was
found by the police in garret in Ale
gheny. He is six feet high and weighs
but forty-fve pounds. He can't account
for his loss of flesh. He declares he feels
all right, though very weak, and has had
no serious illness. He is a foreigner and
unable to speak English. About two
years ago, he says, he first noticed that
he was getting thin, but as he felt well
he paid no attention to it. He continued.
however, to lose flesh, and the past
spring, finding himself nothing but 'skin
and bone" he went to the country, but
neither the change nor doctors did him
any good, and about week ago he re-
turned to Allegheny. Being without
relatives, he went to the garret to await
death, but neighbors hearing Of the case
directed the attention Of the police to it,
and the man was removed to the station
house and subsequently to the city
home. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Buhaeh Plantation.

The work of gathering and drying S1s
buhach blossoms is in full blast at the
buhach plantation. About one hundred
men are scattered through the fields
pieldng the blossoms. As fest as they
are picked they are slowed away about
two inches deep in wooded boxes, the
boxes bang "a feet square. Wagons are
employed ID haalihg the boxes to the
drying house. Probably 1t is called
drying house because it is alongside Of
the spot where the drying Is done. Cer-
tainly no artificial heat is needed at tie
buhach plantationto to dry anything at tbs
time of the year.
The suns rays come down within the
incl0sre Of big poplar trees with force
that makes it pleasant to stand from
under. The trays are allowed to lie
there, the blossoms being stirred up by
force of men until they (the blossoms)
are fairly cured. Afterward they are
placed on large platform about sixty
feet square, where they remain until
dry, and then are sent to the reduction
works, where they are ground into dust.
This is done by men who are proof
against sneezing, otherwise it could not
be done at all Whether or not it makes
flies and mosquitoes sneeze we don't
know. but it is certainly the best pre-
ventive in use to keep those insects at a

The tariff Act, which goes into effect
on October 9Th, 1890, suddenly advan-
ces the duty on musical instruments,
parts thereof and strings from 40 to 100
per cent. above all rates.
This, combined with steady rise in
European cost of goods for some time
back, absolutely compels all importers
to advance their prices, 5uoi a7,i
Various American-made goods are
also affected, because of higher duty on
imported material, parts, &C., used In
their construction. ol- .r.'o
AT a large meeting of the wholesale
houses Of New York, Boston, Chicago,

as to when and how to advance prices
was fully discussed, and 1t was unani.

advance atonce, and to all dealers with
