NEWS AND NOTES.

Several prominent citizens OF
Huntington, W. Va. signed no.
tice warning a widow to leave
town. Instead of complying with
their request, she has brought suit
against each of the signers for
$4,000 damages, amounting in all
to 100000.
A New Orleans colored man who
swallowed a silver dollar was taken
to the hospital. The coin stuck in
the mans gullet. After consider
able work the surgeons managed to
extract the coin, which the mo-
ment it was brought to light the
darby made grab for.
1t is not every boy who can
make bicycle for himself. Yet
that is what a slxteen-year-old
negro boy of Georgia, a black
smiths apprentice, has done. He
made the bicycle out of raw metal
picked up in the shop, and it rides
as smoothly as a factory-made ma
chine.
In the town Of RALLIES, Pome-
rama, great potato country, the
entire population of between 5000
and 1000 shut up their houses, leave
the keys with the mayor, and scat
ter all over Pomerania to the po-
tato harvest, leaving the mayor and
bell ringer alone in charge of the
town.
A Cleveland (Ohio) thief entered
a boarding house in broad day
light, arrayed himself in the best
suit of one of the boarders, and
leisurely walked out of the room,
when he was detected and arrested.
When searched, three watches and
chains we're found in the pockets
of his borrowed" clothes.
The discovery of about seventy
skeletons in dilapidated house in
Chicago caused great excitement
until it was found that the place
was the workshop of a professional
skeleton bleacher and wirer, and
the skeletons, numbering about
seventy, were his stock in trade.
He promised to remove the objec-
tionable merchandise.
The game of billiards was in
vented in 1860 by a pawnbroker by
the name of William Kew, in Lon
don, who was in the habit of taking
down every night the three balls
which hung before his shop, and
pushing them about with his
wooden yard measure on his coun-
ter. Hence the name billyards,
which is corruption of Bills yard.
Jules Verne published his first
novel when he was 80 years old.
Since then he has written an aver
age of two books a year, and is
now the author of sixty volumes
OF more Or less fascinating interest,
Writing book with Verne is a
work of prodigious toll. Before
putting a SINGLE line to paper he
mentally prepares all his material,
makes his maps, lays out his routes
and reflects upon his work for
months. Then when the story
has been written he corrects it at
least ten times before giving the
final proofs to the printer.
