For originality of design in the construction OF
puZZle commend me TO Scott. This energetic
puZzler has pa ented a design OF puzzle that
Will, when he places II upon the market, create
furor 1t is parallelogram in shape, and con-
tains many irregular grooves through which
quicksilver runs. The object is to use the form
in such a way that the quicksilver will fill the
two nearest apartments. The puzzle is divided
into Two separate parts. L tried a whole day to
solve the puzzle, and when L had one side filled
the quicksilver would flow out from the other.
Ii any one of my friends wish to while away the
rest OF their lives in trying TO do the impossible
let them wait short time when Scott
will have his revenge. The "pgs In
clover" proved disastrous to the health of
many q good citizen, as the insane
asylums Will testify. Scotps puzzle is a more
diificult combination, and IL Is no telling what
amount OF distuI bance OF the peace this puZzler
Will be guilty OF. l wait the future with fear
and trembling spirit. l warn him In lime to
ward. Captain f. has had continued story
running in this paper not long ago which proved
an enjoyable one and had weliconstructed
plot. His illustrated rebuS will be published
next week Sir ORacle Is new aspirant for
puZZIeistic honors. II Is evident that he Is an
old puzzler, fond OF IA joke. Your name, please

will not forget me, now that your cons have seen

Nor DECEIVED BY APPEARAN-
CEs.-Over in Missouri there is o
certain plank road and a certain
toll-gate. Beside the toll-gate there
is a farm house, on the cool and
comfortable porch whereof the wor-
thy farmer usually sits, waiting to
collect toll, while his boy Bill plows
the corn in the field away beyond.
On a certain recent occasion, how
ever, this worthy farmer happened
to be over in the field helping his
boy Bill, when q pious looking
stranger drove up to the toll-gate.
There was no one in the farm house
no one nearer than the farmer
and his boy Bill, half mile away
in the field. The toll-gate was un-
locked-open, in fact, but this pi-
Gus stranger was temptation-proof.
He hitched his horse to q tree and
proudly foundered ont to where
the farmer and his boy Bill were at
work.
"My good man." said he, care
you the keeper Of this toll-gate ?"
"Yep," said the worthy farmer.
"What is the toll, my good mani"
"Five cents"
"Well, ] wish to drive through,
my good man, and here is your 5
cents.
The worthy farmer scratched his
head anxiously for q brief period.
"Did You come out here Just to
give me that nickel 20 he asked
presently.
"For no other purpose, my good
sir" and the pious-appearing man
ambled soulfully away.
"Bill," said the farmer to his
boy in an agitated undertone, "get
on the old gray mare and watch
that stranger till he gets to town. :"

Messrs. Editors AS | had the
pleasure Of attending the recent
State Convention, thought I would
tell You something Of the proceed
ings. i could not begin to tell you
all that transpired. To do so
would tire me to write and you to
read.
Twill begin by saying that every
thing passed of very harmoniously
and in perfect accord with the SEN
timents and feelings Of all good
democrats. There was some little
disappointment experienced by q
few members of the Convention
who did not succeed in getting
their candidates nominated. But,
after the nominations were all made
every one seemed pleased and salts
fed.
When the names Of the gentle
men who were nominated for the
different positions were called hear
ty bursts of applause rolled through
the house, but when our fellow
countian's name was mentioned !;
when the gentleman from Mont
gomery seconded his nomination,
and followed it up by most elo-
quent speech when the name of
j. Frank Ford was put before the
Convention, the greatest enthusi-
asm prevailed, the audience almost
went wild, while cheer after cheer
rent the air and fully attested the
respect, esteem and confidence in
which he is held by the people.
Why, sirs, / had no idea our friend
was so popular. l would not be
surprised if in the near future we
had Governor from old st. Mary's.
Why not Our people have talent,
why not aspire to that dignity !?
Excelsior Y travel onward and up

Now, Messrs. Editors, q matter
of great interest to the people of

A SoPT ASswER.-A merchant
in Alexandria had a dispute with a
fellah, us a peasant is called. about
the settlement Of an account. The
merchant was determined to bring
the question to the court, to which
the fellah objected. Desiring to
make a last effort, the fcllah called
at the merchants Office one morn
ing and asked the servant il his mas
ter was in. The merchant, hearing
the inquiry, and knowing who it
was, called aloud from his office:
"Tell that rascal that / am not

"Well, sahib. God put thee in u
better mind"
The merchant was struck with
the meekness of this reply, and,
having looked more carefully into
the matter, he became convinced
that the fellah was right and he in
the wrong. He sent for the fellah,
and, after acknowledging his error,
he said:
al want to ask you one question.

THE NEW CREMATORY.
A Brief Description of the Eagle
Furnace and IFS Workings

A Brief Description of the Eagle
Furnace and Its Workings.
Pursuant to resolutions adopted by
the council at its meeting on Wednes-
day night, the city engineer will begin
at once the preparation of estimates and
plans for garbage crematory of the
style known as the improved Eagle fur
mace. This system was highly recon-
mended by the health and hospitals
committee, and is described in the re-
port as follows:
A rectangular brick structure, thirty
seven feet long, eight feet wide and
twelve feet high. At one end brick
chimney six feet square and seventy
feet high. or an iron chimney of fifty
feet on base of twenty feet.
The top of this furnace has three cir
cular openings, two thirty-four inches
and the other forty inches in diameter.
There are platforms at the side OF these
openings, allowing a cart to be emptled
directly INTO them, and over all cover
ing house with sliding doors and iron
roof.
Below. on one side and at each end,
are two large fire doors, and along the
bottom between these fire doors are
others, called ash-pit doors, while above
there is a range of smaller round doors
Oh HI through which the garbage is
stirred up or stocked.
Halt way from the top to the bottom
of the interior is set the bars which
through the circular holes on top. The
two fire boxes at either end inside are
on level with these bars.
BELOW is nlatfOrm or hearth diSlp0
or SlOped to the center, which catches
and holds all liquids passed through the
feeding holes and falls through the gar
bage bars.
Underneath this again comes long
flue running the whole length of the
furnace and going directly into the
stack.
There are hampers which control the
openings into the chimney and the
openings into and out of the combustion
chamber under the bars.
The furnace, being charged with
garbage which. in this case. would be,
say, ten cubic yards. the fires are light
ed, and the flames from the fire nearest
the stack, or first fire, pass over and
through the garbage, driving the smoke
and gases into and across the left hand
or second fire, where they are con-
Sumed.
The flames from this burning fuelan
gases pass down on the left hand or
outside this second fire and are by the
action of the draught brought back
under the garbage CRATE and carried OH
their way toward the fiue into the stack
or chimney where discharged.
BY an action of this returning fire the
liquids received in the shallow pan or
depressed hearth under the garbage
CRATES are evapOrated and burned.

KANSANS ARE MOVING.
All Business OF the Alliance to Be
Consolidated,

TOPECA, Kan, Aug. 20.-One hundred
delegates, representing every organiza-
ton which claims allegiance to the PeO-
ple's party, met this morning and organ
lied the Alliance commercial couYen-
ton. A temporary organization was
effected. The work scheduled will
probably keep the convention in session
for two days. The scheme is q man.
moth one, providing for the amalgama
ton of every business organization
which has grown out Of the farmers i'll
the state.
in his speech this morning, the presi-
dent stated that whenever any conven-
ton was held in which men who be-
lOnged to the Peoples party were i'll
cry raised that it was pOliti-
cal scheme. The first commercial
convention which had ever assembled in
Kansas was not intended as politi cal
organization. 1T was for the benefit of
Democrats, Republicans and PEOPLES
party men alike. Sad experience has
shown the people of Kansas that they
must organize as citizens to protect
their interests and this it was proposed
to do.
None of the delegates seem to have
any definite plan for the amalgamatiOn
of the multiform organizations which
have sprung up. Many Alliance lead
ers recognize that there have been alto
gether too many business organizations
passing under the Alliance name. 1t is
proposed to investigate thoroughly all
of them and decide which are worthy
of support. To put it briefly, the OBJ
ject of the convention is to kill middle
men. One of the delegates stated that
it was high time that the farmers in
Kansas. who had cattle to sell, were
finding way to dispose of them to an
other farmer in an adjoining county
without making the deal through Kan
sas City or some commission company.
The convention was called by and
seems to be manipulated by the Mu-
tnal Protective association.

BRICK FOR PAVING.
How 1t Is Regarded By Some Min
neapoIiS People.


neapOIiS People.
Aid. Schwartz and several others
have recently been advocating the
use of brick as paving material. setting
forth as arguments in its favor its
eheapness, durability and the readiness
with which it can be replaced. On
this subject ]. K. Caldwell. the brick
manufacturer, said yesterday:
Brick makes an excellent material
for paving streets, but it is not
the ordinary brick 1t requires a
special kind of clay to make paw
ing brick, a Yitreous clay which,
VIII emf burnt becomes very hard
but not brittle. do not know of
any clay to be found in this part of the
country which would be suitable for
this purpose. That might interfere
with the idea of having the workhouse
inmates make the brick as has been sug-
gested, but the paving brick can be OBJ
tanned in the East at reasonable figures.
The advantages of this pavement is that
it is cheap, durable and healthful, and
is not hard on the horses feet. 1t is not
as noisy as a pavement of granite or
cobble stones and can be easily kept
clean. A well-laid brick pavement will
last twenty years, and when repairs are
needed it can easily be taken up"
There are others, however, who
not take kindly to the idea of brick
pavement. A prominent business man,
who has travelled great deal, said yes
terday: have seen a great deal of
this brick pavement in other cities, and
l do not like it. When it is new it is all
right, but very soon afterward it be-
comes uneven. One brick will become
higher than the next one, and IN places
the pavement will sag into hollow or
rise and form a hog-back. | think
either cedar block or granite is prefera-
bic to brick for paving purposes.

TALE OF DUPLICTTY.
The Old Story of Mans Falsity
and Woman's Trust.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 20.-On July
"a last. Carl Schorr.a mining prospector
from Australia, was drowned while
bathing in the ocean near the Cliff
house, in sight of his wife, to whom he
had been married only one week. 1t
was thought that Schorr left consider
able property, and his wife has been
irving to find it. Yesterday woman
who saws she was SchOrr's wife arrived
here from Butte, Mont, and met Mrs.
Schorr No. 2. Comparing their stories,
a singular tale of the drowned mans
duplicity was unfolded. Mrs. Schorr
No. saws she was married to Schorr ten
wears ago, and they accumulated little
property in Butte. Her husband went
to Australia, and last May wrote her to
ioin him there. Instead Of waiting for
her, he took passage for San Francisco.
With him came Miss Taylor, whom he
married on reaching here. He expect
ed by the time that he reached San
Francisco that his first wife would be
on the way to Australia. Instead, she
missed the steamer, and it is thought
that Schorr, fearing prosecution tor
bigamy. committed suicide. The sec
ond wife gave all her money to Schorr,
and is now left penniless.

Out on q Strike.

The North Star Wooden Mills have a
strike on their hands. Yesterday
twenty spinners struck and quit work.
They demand double pay for over time.
They haven't been gettingit. They say
that all other classes of skilled laborers
get double pay for over time and they
want it, They have been working
thirteen hours day and have been paid
at the rate of 81 a day. That gives
them only $3.50 day. Their demand
amounts to a demand for S1.60 day for
the same work. Nearly all the strikers
are boys ranging in age from fifteen to
nineteen. Spinning III WOODEN mill is
not difficult business to learn, and it is
not likely that the mill operators will
accede to the demand made upon them.
