celved that a big deal is on the tapls, look
Ing to a sale of one-third part OF the Sells
Brothers show to John A. Forepaugh, son

The Sells show has for years been a
powerful and wealthy factor in western

The plan Is for Adam Forepaugh TO as
sumo charge of the show while John Fore

scheme, but he will probably offer no
strong opposition to his brothers wishes.
The Forepaugh boys have been dissatls-

His union with the Sells people will fulfill

An Amusing state of Anairs.

A novel boycott is reported from Ten
vile, a village in Georgia. 1t came
about in this way; Some days ago a
young beau bosted that he could call on
any girl in town at will, they We're all so
anxious for his company. The next
evening he was informed by a young
lady whose company he had solicited
that she had previous engagement.
She appeared at the entertainment that
evening with fourteen-year-old boy
In some way the rejected beau gained
the sympathy Of the young men of the
town, while the young lady's pluck was
indorsed by those OF her own sex.
The young men held a meeting and
resolved to discontinue all calls on girls
of their acquaintance. Not to be out
done, the girls called meeting and de-
cided to scratch the names of the boy
cotters off their visiting lists. The re-
suit is that young men from the neigh
boring towns are becoming favorites
with the Tenville girls, while the natives
are sitting around under the shade trees
plotting revenge. ge.-Exchange

More Fireproof Materials.

Another process for fireproofing COM
bustible materials is reported from Rus
sia, the medium being described as a
paste, which is said to have been tested
with most satisfactory results by the
Moscow Imperial society. A shanty
was built entirely of straw, and after
being covered with the paste, was sub
j-cted to hot fire, the only effect being
to change the straw from yellow to
reddish brown color without igniting or
even cracking.
The society referred to has conse-
quently made arrangements, it is said,
to introduce the use of this new inven-
ton throughout the empire, considering
it from every point of view as of the
highest value in villages or localities
where the houses are, as Il rule, matched
with straw, and where fires, once started,
frequently make a clean sweep of the
place. The cost Of the preparation is
very small. New York Telegram.

Milk as a Fire Extinguisher.

Lightning recently struck the Aagpole
on the Eastford hotel, at Oxford, Md, O
large building which was formerly the
Maryland Military and Naval academy,
and set fire to the cupola, causing much
CONSERVATION among the guests and
threatening to destroy the house. This
would have been the case but for the
rain which was falling at the time and
the efforts of the proprietor, who used
milk as an extinguisher, it is stated, in
accordance with an old superstition that
water will not put out fire caused by
lightning. How long this antique fall
lacy has clouded the minds of the super
stitious is not known, but that it has
come down from remote times will hard
ly be questioned.
The hotel proprietor, believing that
water would not save his premises, was
at his wits end for an effective extin-
guisher until he noticed milk wagon
filled with cans Of the lacteal fluid stand
ing just at the moment in front of the
house, ready-to-hand method of saliva
ton, providentially supplied. Selling
one Of the cans the nonbeieyer in water
lugged it to the top of the hotel and
poured it out on the lightning kindled
flames, and then went back for further
supplies, until he had the satisfaction of
seeing the last spark smothered and the
burning hotel saved.-Baltimor Sun.

was kept prisoner until discovered, a
few hours later, by her parents. She
was unconscious when removed. After
missing her a search was begun, and
though they could plainly hear her voice
they were unable to locate it. The floor
was torn up and the closets ransacked,
and every other conceivable spot about
the house, except the innocent looking
trunk, was examined. At last somebody
moved the trunk to one side, and MOTTO
