A Wciser gentleman stated in the
presence of SIGNAL reporter the
other day that he approached on the
train one of the members of the well
remembered board of equalization
regarding public sentiment and the
Hon member expressed himself
some thing like this, II don't give
dam for the people, and / want it
understood that l am not running for
Office any more. He knew it was
useless TO run and perhaps got
enough equalization that financially
he don't need an Office. His words
imply as much.

We return thanks to the postal

We return thanks to the postal
department of the Weiser branch of
Wannamaker's rotten administration
for it's kindness in allowing us to
obtain our last copy of the Idaho
Citizen as early as Monday morning.
Considering that the Citizen is
published Friday and arrives in
Weiser Saturday we were foolish
enough to immagine that it would be
in our box at least Sunday evening,
but were disappointed andcn receiving
it promptly Monday morning, became
convinced of our ridiculous over
anxiousness and hereby offer oul
apologies to whoever they are due.

Gypsy JeWelry.

Like their more favored and better
civilized sisters, gypsy women are rep
resented by the best Authorities to be
passionately fond of jewelry, notwith-
standing the fact that their extreme
poverty renders it impossible for
many OF them to crafty this taste.
Trinkets OF greater or less value, ac-
cording to circumstances, are worn by
them, being limited in number only by
the means of the wearer If the
gitana is unable to have her ornaments
Of gold, silver jewelry will do, and if
silver trinkets are beyond her means
brass will suffice.
AS brilliancy Of color is the first con
sideration in a gypsy's attire, size is
the chief merit OF her jewels. Among
the wealthier gypsies, if there be such
q thing as wealth connected with the
race, the Moorish, Egyptian and ORR
entail designs find most favor. The
poorer content themselves with strings
OF coins or cheap medals, without re-
gard to the event or parsonage they
are intended to commemorate. and
even with rudely designed ornaments
OF brass made by the male artisans OF
their tribes. Large earrings are pre-
ferred to any other articles, and the
comparatively opulent gitana INDUCES
in bangles, beads and necklaces

Fun on an Electric Car.

The electric street cars between this
place and Birmingham have always
been a source Of pride and wonder as
well to the people Of the two towns.
Never a country visitor comes to see
his relatives but he is taken for ride
on the 'lectric cars, and the workings
are explained to him. Some of the
cars ''leak,'' and the metallic, parts
are highly charged with electric fluid
One car especially is noted for this.
The conductor and those who know
the secret have lots of fun seeing the
look Of painful surprise that spreads
itself over the faces of those who are
shocked. Yesterday a lady got on
the car as it started, and as her feet
touched the iron doorsill she gave a
startled scream, and look of blank
anaze1nent spread over her features,
as she remarked: Something is the
matter with my l-limbs; [ can't
move them.' The conductor gave her
a little push into the car, and sigh
OF relief escaped her as she sank into
a seat, and blushed like an Italian
sunset. =
The next one to enter was big
Irish washerwoman. Shewas fat and
jolly, and her size required an effort
on her part to, squeeze through the
door. She planted both feet on the
iron plate and then screamed: Chow
" Moses! Me legs is full of pins!"
The conductor didn't laugh, He had
too big a job to push her, off the sill.
There came a gentleman, whose little
dog followed him. The dogs feet
struck the door sill, his tail dropped
down, the hair on his back rose up
and with a pitiful howl he dropped
back, jumped off the car and has not
been seen since.-Ansonia Dispatch to

GEN. GRANTS SPEECH.

& Story Which the Late Gen, Sher-
man Was Fond of Telling.
The following characteristic anec-
sdote OF Gen. Grant was told, and illus
trated with exquisite humor, by Gen.
Sherman at alittle dinner:
Grant and were at Nashville,
Tenn, after the battle OF Chattanoo-
ga. Our quarters were in the same
building.
cone day Grant came into theroom
that | used for an Office I was very
busy, surrounded with papers, muster.
rolls, plans. Specifications, ETC., etc.
When I looked up from my work /
saw he seemed a good deal bothered,
and, after standing around awhile,
with his shoulders thrown up and his
hands deep down in his trousers peck
cts, he gaid: r. 81.
"Look here; there are some men
here from Galena'
"'Well?' [ said, ~
E:Lookingmore uncomfortable every
minute he went on: 5.
" They've got a sword they want to
give me, and looking over his shoulder
and jerking his thumb in the same
direction, he added: e.
I: Will you come in?'
''He looked quite frightened at the
idea OF going to face them alone, so |
put some weights on my several piles
OF paper to keep them from blowing
around and went into the next room,
followed by Grant. who by this time
looked as he might If he'd been going
to be courtmartialed. There we

On the table in the middle Of the room
was a handsome rosewood box con-
tanning a magnificent gold hilted
sword with all the appointments
equally splendid.
ssThe mayor stepped forward and
delivered what was evidently a careful
ly prepared speech, setting forth that
the citizens of Galena had sent him to
present to Gen. Grant the accompany
ing sword. not as a testimonial to his
greatness as a soldier, but as a slight
proof of their love and esteem for him
as a man, and their pride in him as a
fellow citizen.
':After delivering the speech, the
mayor produced a large parchment
scroll, to which was attached by a
long blue ribbon red seal as big as q
pancake, and on which was inscribed
a set OF complimentary resolutions.
These he proceeded to read to us, not
emitting single whereas or 'hereun-
to- And after finishing the reading
he rolled it up and with great solemn
ty and ceremony handed it to Grant.
''Gen. Grant took it, looked ruefully
at it and held it as If it burnt him.
Mrs. Grant, who had been standing
beside her husband, quietly took it
from him, and there was dead silence
for several minutes. Then Grant sink
ing his head lower on his chest and
hitching his shoulders up higher, and
looking thoroughly miserable, began
hunting in his pockets, diving first in
one and then in another, and at last
said: Gentlemen, ] knew sou were
coming here to give me this sword,
and so prepared short speech, and
with look of relief he drew from his
trousers pocket a crooked, crumpled
piece Of paper and handed it to the
mayor of Galena, adding, 'and gentle
men, here it isl"

STEREoscoPIc photography is again
becoming popular.
The best way OF sending Photographic
films which have not been developed is
by registered letter.
DURING the recent Photographic con-
test held by Frank Leslie's Weekly over
five thousand prints we're received from
amateurs. Another contest Is now an.
nounced, to close December I, and open
to both professionals and amateurs. Ono
thousand dollars will be distributed in
prizes.
RUBY light for Photographic purposes,
in spite OF all that has been said in IA

its own in the dark room, although
many who uso 1t complain VI its effect

been found in tho introdu ction OF % pane

A FEW English societies arc cndeavor-
ing to persuade the manufacturers of
lenses to agree upon q uniform stand

commend itself to all amateurs in this
country.
