Got the Names Mixed.

There must be something in a name,
after all. The grand jury reported a
number of ''true bills" against certain
law breakers, and also reported that
they could not find sufficient evidence
on which to hold number of alleged
law breakers. Among the former was a
colored gent named jackson, against
whom an indictment was found for cary.
ing a colored brother with razor, and
among the latter was white man OF
the same name.
When the sheriff was ordered to pro
duce his prisoners in court yesterday he
was handed a list of the names of the
men wanted. The first batch brought
over were those against whom mo bill
was reported. When the names were
called at the Jail the white Jackson did
not answer to his name, but in his place
the colored party stepped up. He of the
white face thought it policy to clay
low" so he said nothing.
When the names were called in court
and the prisoners were ordered to stand
up the colored man answered promptly
to the white mans name, and he was
duly discharged by Judge Seaver. Mr.
jackson returned to the Jail for some
thing, and the jailer, happening to know
that jackson had been indicted, thought
there was some mistake and locked hin
up. He was rearraigned later and pleaded
guilty. The white jackson was finally
released. Buffalo Commercial.

hurried in Her Bridal Robes.

The pretty little village of Redwood.
City, near San Francisco. is disturbed
over revelations that have followed the,
sad suicide of George Wehrlin's bride on
her wedding night. Wehrlin had fur
nished a cottage, but when he came to.
retire from the wedding party the bride.
refused to admit him to her room. In,
the morning he found her dead in bed
with strychnine bottle by her side.
1t was explained that her mind was
unhinged by a previous love affair, but
the village pastor, who knew her well,
says she was the victim of her match
making aunt. This woman induced her
to marry Wehrlin, and she persuaded
Wehrlin to buy from her the cottage in
which his bride found the fate of Lucy
of LammermOor.
The preacher who married them de-
hvered funeral sermon over the hapless
bride, laying the blame of her death to
love Of money that led to the violation
of the young girls affections. 1t is
thought the amt will be forced to take
back the cottage. The girl had recently
come from Germany, and was noted for
her docility. She was buried in her
pretty wedding dress, that was found
laid over a chair by her bed.-Cor. St.

An Experiment in Keeping Lodgers.

An experiment is to be made by ''The
Silver Cross Circle of the Kings Daugh-
tiers in the shape of "Quiet House.
Mrs. M. L. HOLSTER is treasurer and
Miss Anna F. Pierson president of the
movement. The sum Of $1,000 has BEEN
promised and no difficulty is anticipated
in securing the necessary funds. A large
house viii be rented suitable for the CON
venience of twenty families. There will
be a common assembly room or parlor,
a general laundry and a nursery and
kindergarten, where the young children,
will be cared for and amused at an ex-
pense of a few cents week.
The rooms will be rented singly or in
suites of two and three at not more than
81 a week. The object, while philan-
thropic, is in no way charitable, the idea
being to assist working women, widows
with children to support, and aged peo-
pie in finding a safe, convenient, cheer
full and inexpensive dwelling place free
from communicating influences. The so
ciety proposes to paint the floors, thus
doing away with carpets; to lay in a
large supply of fuel and retail it to the
tenants at actual cost, and to help solve
the problem of bread and butter, provis-
ions and light in the same manner

A Chinese suffice.

A. case of suffice, which is unusual in
China, although it is regarded as a great
virtue, is reported from the neighbor-
hood of Foochow. The victim was a
young woman, "a years of age, whose
husband died of leprosy early in the year.
She was childless and had none except
distant relatives to depend upon for sup
port. She had, therefore, she said, no
alternative but to commit this act of self
sacrifice. AS soon as her intention be-
came known she received several invita-
lions to grand banquets, all of which she
accepted and enjoyed as if there were to
be no sequel.
After a special feast of this character
she assembled a stage constructed for the
purpose, where the village elders came
to make their obeisances, each three
times, as if she were already a canonized
saint. The signal having been given by
firing off a gun, she assembled a scaffold
with her hands unpinioned and there,
in the sight of all, strangled herself.
Her body was placed in a coffin, which
was duly prepared beforehand. 1t is
said that the emperor will grant tablet
extolling her virtue as soon as the viceroy
of the province represents the case to the
throne.-LondOn Times.

The Garnering Time.

Fair is the world now autumns wearing,
And the sluggarl sun lies long abed,
Sweet are the days now winters nearing,
And all winds feign that the wind is dead.
Dumb is the hedge where the crabs hang yellow,
Bright as the blossoms of the spring;
Dumb is the close where the pears grow mellow,
And none but the dauntless redbreasts sing.
Fair was the spring, but amidst his greening
Gray were the days of the hidden sun;
Fair was the summer, but overweening,
So soon his o'ersweet days were done.
Come then, love, for peace is upon us,
Far of is failing, and far is fear;
Here where the rest in the end hath won us,
In the garnering tide Of the happy year.
Come from the gray old house by the water
Where far from the lips of the hungry sea
Green groweth the grass DER the field of tn,
slaughter,
And all is q tale for thee and me.

a GRANDFATHER TO HIS WIFE.

When, in the first fair flush Of happy youth,
looked with loving eyes upon thy face,
Il seemed to me there could find, in truth,
The perfect type Of beauty and of grace
And as the bells rang out their gladstone chime
That day when we were wed, did not dream
That ever, with the mellowing Of time,
Could that sweet face of thine more lovely
seem
Yet, as / see thee now-thy crown Of white;
The glory of the motherhood; the lines
Upon thy brow and cheek, marks OF times flight
The many sweetnesses thy life combines
Methinks that in my youth my judgment erred;
Despite thy beauty, seeming so benign
This heart of mine has never been so stirred
AS by the loneliness that now is thine

Many houses were built during the
summer, and now people are hurrying
into them, not stopping to think that
there is too great haste in occupying a
house after its completion. In many
places there is such demand for dwell
ings, and often business apartments,
that. as soon as finished, they are occu-
pied. This is especially true of small
dwellings. There is more danger In this
than is supposed. There is no health IN
dampness and mold under any circum-
stances. and in living apartments, where
the tendency is toward poor ventilation
the dampness Of newly finished houses
contributes largely to i'll health.
In the town of Basic, Switzerland, a
regulation has been adopted which pre-
vents newly built houses from being oc-
cupied until four months after compile
ton. Under many circumstances SO
long time as above specified Is mol
necessary. but it is often well to err on
the side Of safety. The size of the house,
its location. surroundings, the material
used and the state of the weather enter
into the consideration of the time neces-
sary in which a building should become
sufficiently dry for occupancy.-Ne"

Not long ago that beautiful Russian
lady attended a reception given at the
Calumet club. She was regal in old
satin and old jewels and was escorted by
one of the handsomest officers of the
club. In the old settlers room the por-
trait of Long John Wentworth was
pointed out to her Now, the late Mr..
Wentworth was far from spirituelle,
and at the first glance the princess, with
little start, exclaimed, looking at a
circle of friends, "Do show me big

Chicago pig sticker." The gentleman
flushed a little; there was an audible
silence" and her hostess replied, ''Prin-
cess, you are on the arm of One."-Chi-
