A Man Who Palms Things.

Two gentlemen shook hands in the
street a day or two ago, and as they I'M
clasped their hands a small wad of pa
per fell to the sidewalk. What is this?'
said one of the men, STOPPING to pick up
the wad. "Oh, that is my five dollar bill, !"
said the other man. II made q ball OF
it and palmed it when l left the house
in order hat 1 would not forget to stop
in at my grocer's and pay a bill. But
forgot all about the COMPOUNDED thing"
"Do you mean to say that you have
carried that wad In the palm of your
hand for an hour or two without realiz-
ing that it was thereF"
Certainly; | frequently carry small
articles in the palm of my hand for sew
eral hours. They never fall out, and
they don't bother me. l learned the
trick of palming when / was a boy, and
| have ~practiced it ever since. l can
palm half a dozen coins at the same
time and retain them concealed in my
hand all day If l want to.
81 can eat my dinner, smoke a cigar,
read a paper, and do almost everything,
except shake hands, without disturbing
the palmed coins. l find the palming
knack very useful sometimes, particu-
larly when | want to conceal any small
article temporarily."-N York Times.

with both hands. In the third German
landed hard on Pearls" jaw and was in
tuIn sent TO the ropes. weak and groggy,
by a two-handed smash on the head and
ribs. He came upin the fourth shaky, but
landed a left in PEARLS mouth.
PEARL gave him a right hand smash on
the ribs that sent him to the ropes, and
then forced him to fight. The men came
together in a rally, German bleeding
freely at the nose, and Pearl again
landed with both hands. German reeled
and fell in a sitting position and appar-
emily made no effort to rise until the time
keepers counted him out. TIE victory
was awarded to Pearl" although Cor

and George Slosson drew a great crowd
of billiard experts and admirers of the

A Dreadful Boiler Explosion
at Louisville, KY.
An Exciting Billiard Contest
in New York.
Tried TO Blow Up the Office.

DUBLIN, Oct. 26.-Great excitement is
caused here this evening by an apparent
attempt to blow up the Office of the
National Press, a McCarthyite organ. A
bomb fell in the alley IN front Of the win
dows on Abbey street, breaking the WIN
dows and badly damaging the editorial
rooms and basement. The windows in all
adjacent houses were also broken. For
t~unately no one was injured. There is no
clue yet To the miscreant who threw the
bomb. Almost universal credit for the
outrage is gwen to the Parnellites. The
report OF the explosion was heard dis
tinctly two miles away. The attention of
a Waterman on duty at the time and who
Is said to always have been on duty since
the Parnellite threats of vengeance were
uttered, was diverted by a sham fight
between two men 10 the vicinity of the
National Press building.

The Biggest Price Yet Brought on
wyoming Stock.

lClay, Robinson & Co.'s Circular, Oct. ISL
The receipts for the week will be about
q, 900 head, agsinst 1000 head last
week and $4,000 head for the correspond
ing week last year.
The market finished up strong at the
close of last week, some prime beeves sell
ing to a shipper on Friday last at S.. 90
and IS. 10 per 100 pounds. They were
the Fort Shaw and Kohrs & Fl. Montanas,
and were good enough for any purpose.
Mondays receipts were moderate; the
market ruled strong for the best grades.
Twenty head of the Pierre Wibaux Mon
tanas, weighing 1890, sold at S.. 10 per
100 pounds. Medium grades, however,
owing to the heavy supply OF Texans and
common natives, sold a shade lower.
Tuesdays market opened steady, but
when the st. Paul report was received
and it became known that over two hun
dred and fifty cars of cattle were on
the way for Wednesdays market.
buyers became very bearlsh and the mar
ket closed a shade lower. Wednesday
receipts as expected were heavy and but
little business was transacted until values
were marked down 10 to Is cts. per l0C
lbs IN all grades. Thursdays receipts
were somewhat lighter, the market ruled
slow but steady. Today with 1000 on
sale the market opened steady.
Compared with last week values show
a decline of Is to 25 cts. per 100 lbs. on
all grades. As the season advances the
quality of the arrivals gets poorer. The
Western Union Beet Co.'S cattle at 81. 60
per 100 lbs. last week we're the highest
priced Wyomings of the season. The
highest price OF the week was IS. 10 and
the corresponding time 10 1890 So IS per
100 lbs. was top for 1856 Montana steers
weighing 1877 lbs. average. They were
the property of Briggs & Ellis.
At South Omaha supplies were some
what heavier than last week, but with a
good demand prices have made some i'm
provement, values for good steers and
feeding grades having advanced 10 to 20
cents per 100 pounds. The demand for
feeders is much better and the dressed
beet operators have taken many medium
steers that heretofore sold for feeding
purposes. The prospect looks very favor
able FOR this class of cattle from now on.
Cows have been in fair demand at steady
prices.
