Soaring the Conscience.

OF all her curious customs London
cannot boast of Il more singular one than
that formerly so strictly adhered to at
Holland house. one of the most historic
old mansions in the British capital. The
lust of the Lords Holland shot himself
during a lit of dependency; everything
pointed to Il clear case Of self, murder,
yet the Holland family could never be
diSsuaded from the notion that the old
man had been murdered by some un-
known assassin Accordingly, every
night for years it was the custom for one
of the family to go to the rear of the
house punctually at II o'clock and FIRE a
gun, for the purpose, it is said, of 'scar-
ing the conscience" of the murderer
This curious practice is relic of medi-
9yal days il continental Europe. and
the ease to point is probably the only
instance whar2 it has been noticed since

The oldest story Of geese in the fog

Mr. Stevenson, the author Of "The Birds
Of Norfolk by the Rev. II. n. Frere. A
large flock Of geese were attracted 10 the

lights, and from the s0und Of their voices
seemed to fly scarcely higher than the
sOp8 Of the houses.
They came about Up. m, and, rs it
was Sunday evening, they appeared 10
DO especially attracted by the lights in
the church, and their incessant clamor
not Il little disturbed the congregation
assembled for evening service. From
that time until 9 H. m, when the fog
cleared Of and they departed, they CON
tinned to fly around utterly bewildered.

At The DallrS.

From the report of The Dallcs relief
committee We clip the following,which
explains fully the situation at that
place:
The investigating committee reported
that some thirtycight families had
been brought to their notice or found
by II dlligcnt search who needed help.
sixteen of these had left town or de-
cIincd help; eleven were families of
men who were at work and needed
clothing for women and children.
household furniture and food fora short
time only. The men declined assist
ancc of any kind for themselves: five
were in the hands of different religious
societies of which they were members
and were being cared for; six were wild
ows' families and would need consid-
cradle assistance.
Those facts being submitted and the
exact state of affairs being shown, it
was suggested that committee be ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions in the
city, This was not thought advisable
before, rs the amount necessary was
merely conjccturIl. Mr.. McInerny
and Mr.. S"hano were appointed ON this
committee.
The committee on investigation and
distribution reported their duties ms on
erous and asked for m enlargement of
the committee, Mr.. George Liebe was
added to their number.
The committee receiving supplies ac-
knowledged having received liberal
of clothing and other ar
ticlcs, but announced that much more
was needed, especially womens' and
underwear.
The meeting then adjourned.

One may sometimes be made to see the
uSelesSness of Il foolish habit by being
made the victim Of similar behavior ON
the part Of another. Here is an example
of being paid 'in ones own coin:"
A landlord in a country village was
busily employed at his desk when II
farmer came to the door and asked TO
see him.
The man was asked his errand, but he
persisted that he must see the hotel
keeper alone. The latter stepped out
side, when the farmer motioned him to
follow and walked around to the rear
of the hotel.
When they were well around the cor
ner the farmer stated that he wished to
buy cow and had heard that the land
lord had one to sell.
"Come on" said the other, and led the
way through a garden, patch of pota-
toes, and after cli.nbing fence, through
a muddy barnyard and into the hotel
barn.
When they were inside the landlord
put his mouth near the others ear and
whispered:
Say. naighbor, I've sold my cow!"-

A QUIET CHAT"
The Mayors Idea of Considering
Public Matters.
Last Nights Meeting to Discuss the
City Jail Proposition-Held
with Closed Doors.

1t was supposed that the Police Com
missioners and City Trustees would hold
a joint open meeting last evening, for the
purpose of endeavoring to come to some
conclusion in regard to furnishing new
building for a city Jail, or thoroughly re-
pairing the old City Hall, but it appears
that the members desired to caucus among
themselves in private, so the reporters
were excluded. The meeting was held in
the Office of the City Assessor. The Mayor
quietly called each of the Trustees and
Police Judge Crayens and Chief of Police
Drew into the room and then locked the
door.
1t is understood that general discus
sion was INDUCED in, but that no conclu-
sion was reached.
Mayor Comstock stated to q RECORD
UNION reporter before the meeting that,
as far as he was concerned, nothing would
be done at present.
1--WE have spent $1,000 in putting in a
new pipe from the pump to the river"
said the Mayor" and we have to lay out
$1,000 more this fall in grading and rip
raping the Front-street levee. The
greater portion of this money we will
have to draw from next year S approprla-
tons, and it does not look as though we
will have any money with which to make
any extensive repairs to any of the pub
lie buildings. / am opposed 10 doing any
thing of the kind until we have the funds,
and guess We'll have to get along with
the old Jail for time, at least"
In addition, the Mayor said he had
written to parties in the East inQuiring
as to what would be the cost Of putting III
a substantial standpipe to assist the ma
chinery in the Water Works. He was
anXiously awaiting a reply, aud if the
cost would not be great he would favor
buying the plant and removing the tank
from the old City Hall. This, he thought,
would remove all danger of the building
collapsing from the immense weight on
its roof. He also proposed to see that not
over four feet of water was kept in the
tank. He understood that recently over
six feet Of water was pumped into 1t, and
he did not wonder that the officers about
the jail felt somewhat uneasy.
Judge CravenS said that If he were a
member Of the Grand Jury he would try
very earnestly to indict somebody for
maintaining a nuisance in the shape OF
an unsafe and unsanitary building. He
supposed, though, that the Grand Jury
would make its usual report about how
filthy place the Jail is, and then let the
matter drop.
Chief Drew also seemed to think the
case hopeless.
| The Mayor limited, before the meeting
took place, that he favored "a quiet
chat" He did not want to see such big
items in the newspapers. Sometimes
people talked out their minds too freely
and the whole thing got into print.
