License in Allegheny County.
CHAUTAUoUA, Aug. 15.- There is in
progress here a meeting of the Interna-
tional Law and Order League to tell Chau-
tauqua eff the work of the organization.
General Agent Hayward, of the Chicago
League, said that since 1888 9, 264 persons
had been prosecuted, and the charges
against the same numbered, 4,701; fines and
costs imposed amounted to S34, ,5S1, and the
number of witnesses was 7,437. Captain
Wishart, of Pittsburg, says the liquor laws
are strictly observed in Allegheny county.
and that there is less drinking there than
ever before Arthur NJ Burton, of Phila-
delphia, said the Brooks law had reduced
the number of licenses from 6, 900 to /, 300,
and the number of commitments was re-
duced from that of the year before.
c. c. Hine, of Newark, n. J., says the
League has a fund of SIS, 900, drawing 10
per cent interest, and is being felt. The
Rev. DR.. Drafts told of the stopping of a
prize fight in st. Paul. John j. Maclaren,
q. c., of Toronto, Canada, said that there
was no police log record in that city; that
licenses had been reduced from 800 in a
population of $4,000 to $50; that all saloons
are closed on election days, and that there
were no known unlicensed drinking places.

Police Officers Have Difficnlt Time Catch

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
ALBANY, Aug. 15.-An exciting land and
water chase occurred here this afternoon in
and about the river front. Two junk thieves
were detected stealing brasses off the cars in
the Delaware and Hudson yard. One was
caught and the other, named John Riley,
slipping past the officers, plunged into the
river at the foot of Maiden lane, there being
no other avenue of escape open. He was
clad only in shirt and pants and though the
officers soon secured boat to continue the
chase he succeeded in divesting himself of
his clothing while swimming across the
river. Whenever the boat overhauled him,
he dove and swan under water for several
yards, and in this way eluded his pursuers.
The river is quarter of a mile wide at
this point and in dodging and doubling,
nearly an hour was consumed by pursuers
and pursued. On reaching the Greenbush,
or east shore, the hunted man was met by
a crowd of dock loungers and driven into
the river again. He then swan down
stream, and by occasionally landing and
running along the shore, kept ahead of his
pursuers in the boat for couple of miles,
when he again crossed the river and nearly
succeeded in escaping. He was, however,
captured after swimming and running over
three miles down the river

BEAVER FALLS, Aug. 15.-Some four
years ago the workingmen of this place, but
principally the employees of the mills of Car
negie, Phipps & Co., started large grocery
and general store on the cooperative plan,
with capital of S2O.OOO under the name
and title of the Workingman's Co-Operative
Association of Beaver Falls. Everything
apparently ran smooth for about year or
m ore, when it was discovered that, through
mismanagement principally, the concern
was getting behind. 1t ran for while
longer, and ther was closed about year
ago, and A. p. Marshall, of Beaver Falls,
was appointed auditor by the court to wind
up the affair
Yesterday he heard testimony and had
claims presented, which amounted to s., 900,
and the fund arising from sale of effects will
amount to about $1,000 After deducting
cost Of audit the stockholders will realize
about 3 cents on the dollar.

Few. even anon g those most closely

the general views once held regarding

have broadened the scientific ideas con-
corning the correlation of physical
forces. IL was marvellous advance
when Franklin discovered the identity
of the feeble sparks that crackle from
an electrified body with the colossal
power of the thunderbolt. but what ae

the feeling akin to awe that comes
when now at last we recognize

stakes to stick in the pot, it is but
step to the balloon form, a section of
which is rudely shown in Fig. ?. To
bend the wires in the right form, take
a piece of board and draw balloon
shaped outline upon it of the desired
size. Then cut the heads off of some
six-penny wire nails and drive them in
the board at intervals of two or three
inches along the outline mark Then
bend wire in the line of the mark,
giving it one turn around each
nail These loops are represented in
the drawing at A, Il, c, ID, Il and L. To
make the trellis, take three such wires
and crossing them at the apex stick
them in the pot and connect them by
horizontal wires put through the loop
holes. A perfect globe trellis may be
made in the same way. A collection of
climbers upon handsome hollow trellises
might be made very attractive, having
the trellises of different forms and sizes
to suit different kinds of plants.

ivy or Madeira vine can be made to

a few months, if properly grown. If

collection of house plants and get
little out of the beaten path they might
perhaps get a little better return for the
coal consumed in carrying them through
the winter. For semi-climbers, to grow

NAV be interested in learning that had
it not been for an accident of fashion
the gentler sex would be striding their
horses still, and that the side-saddle is
not an invention due to the advanced
modesty of civilization. 1t appears
that one Anna of Bohemia, eldest
daughter of a German emperor and wife
of an English king. introduced the Gus
tom, not from delicate repulsion to the
old method. but simply because she was
afflicted with some sort of deformity
that rendered it impossible for her TO
ride upon the saddles in common use.
In those days it was imperative that a
woman should ride: accordingly the
first side-saddle was invented. Royalty
had then, as now, snobbish followers
ever on tie alert TO adopt fashions
honored by its patronage. and in a few
months every woman of place inEngland
possessed a side-saddle, and the custom
was established.-Chicago News
