They, however, dlscTcdlt the rumor.
No dispatches from Chill as far could be learned

Observation parties.

observation parties" are the latest
thing in society. An observation party
affords great deal of amusement, and
in addition, displays the fact that few
persons are good Observers or have good
memories. The members of the observ-
alton party are asked by the host to OBJ
serve the furnishings of the dinner
table, for instance. Then they are
given five minutes to write down list
of the articles that are on the table.
The person whose memory is best and
who can write down within the pre-
scribed time-five minutes, say-the
largest number of articles on the table
is awarded some sort of prize.

WOULD ANIMALS SMOKER
Experiments Indicating That They Would
II Possible.


II Possible.
In the Berlin Geological Gardens Prof.
Paul Meyerheim, painter of animal life,
has been trying the effects of the fra
grant weed on various denizens of the
gardens, with results which are rs novel
as they arc undoubtedly amusing.
Chief among the subjects of his
experiments, says the London Tele-
graph, was the brown bear. lie declares
that the common brown bears" are
genuine enthusiasts for tobacco. ''When
puff my cigar smoke into their cage"
he remarks, "thcy rush to the front
rubbing their noses and backs against
the bars through which the smoke has
penetrated" The professor, with some
temcrity, once experimental on the lion.
The creature was asleep, and this was
the moment selected for pulling n vol
une of tobacco smoke in his face. Did
he at once wake up with savage growl,
lash his tail, and springing at the bars,
shake the massive iron? Not at all.
He awokc and "stood on his legs"
which seems a natural enough attitude
to adopt, and "sneezcd powerfully"
Then he quietly lay down on his side
and elevated his nose as if asking for
a second dose" 1t may be news to
some naturalists to hear that goats,
stays, and llamas all devour tobacco
and cigars with remarkable satisfaction.
1t is certainly somewhat of u waste Of
the material to let prime Havana be
"bolted" in one gulp by an antelope;
but the professor was actuated by
praiscworthy desire to discover scientific
facts, and also by wish to get on good
terms with creatures whom it was his
business to sketch. 81 made q personal
FRIEND" he writes, "of an exceedingly
malicious guanaco, or wild llama, by
simply feeding him again and again
with tobacco"

"Beautiful location.

"Within easy reach of the business
part of the town."
Excellent neighborhood, no unfavor-
able surroundings.
''Thcse, among othor things" said
prominent dealer in real estate, "have
caused the lots of the Exchange Addi-
ton to sell so rapidly and mako them
continually in demand."
The property known as tho Exchange
Addition is situated in the southwest
portion of the city. All of its land is
within radius of one mile from the
Union depot.
From it's sloping surface magnificent
views of the surrounding country are
obtained and largo number of resi-
dences, many of them beautiful and
costly structures, are being erected on
the property.
Just across the river lie tho lands of
the Crystal Spring Company, on which
numerous improvements are being made.
Two iron bridges are to span the Roa-
nokc ritter connecting the Crystal Spring
lands with those of the city.
Numerous industries arc to be located
across the river, and an iron bridge is
also to be built from the lands of the
Exchange Addition across the river to
the property OF the Roanoke Power
Company
TO the south OF the Exchange Addi-
ton the Presbyteriaas have secured a
site for the erection of q fine female
seminary.
An electric street car line will run by
the property, giving comfortable and
quick means of transportation to any
part of the city.
Cheap houses cannot DO erected on
this property, there being restriction
on every sale that no houses shall be
erected costing less than $1,000.
The lots are now being sold at $3.50
each, and are being disposed of very
rapidly. Gray & Boswell are sole agents
Tor tho property and will be glad to
have parties interested inspect it.

A NEW COURTHOUSE WANTED.
Clerk Brooke Says the Present Location
Is Not Satisfactory.

Clerk brooke Says the Present Location
Is Not Satisfactory.
1t is not improbable that scheme
will be instituted by the Hastings Court
officials and other occupants of the
courthouse to procure new structure
in another locality. The question is
being agitated in quiet way, and it
will not be long before the authorities
are made acquainted with the necessity
of the movement.
Colonel s. s. Brooke says the building
is not adequate to the demands of the
city and tho business done there. The
location is the greatest objection. Sia-
uated on business street, the noise
from passing teams is SO great that tho
windows have to be closed to hear any
thing that is going on. The second OBJ
lection to the location is on account of
the Jail. The church-going public pass
there every Sunday, and the jail ex-
posed to public view is regarded by
some as 4 nuisance.
ut is not necessary" said Colonel
Brooke, that the courthouse should be
located so accessibly to the business
section of the city. Business seeks the
courthouse, and it is we'll known to
every one that it is not necessary for
the courthouse so seek business. 1t is
for the purpose Of ommodating the
public, and a more retired locality
would be far better
Much complaint is being made about
the arrangement of court room and
clerks office. Colonel Brooke thinks
these should be on the same floor, as it
is moro accommodating to the bar as
well as to those who have to do the
work.
Tho building is far from being fire.
proof" continued the Colonel. GA
match properly applied anywhere to the
interior portion would result in a mass
of flames Immediately. The clerk IS
office is now crowded with an enormous
amount Of valuable records and other
papers. Should these be consumed by
fire or otherwise destroyed it would be
an untold loss, and would hampber bust
ness transactions for years.
This property could be sold for
nearly, If not quite, enough to erect a
courthouse in moro suitable locality.
Even though it be out of the way and
less convenient, it would be more salts
factory to the court and the public,
who are annoyed by the presence of the
Jail"
The natter has not yet been brought
before the City Council, but it is not
improbable that it will. 1t is estimated
that the lot on which the present build
ing stands can be sold for enough, which,
taken i'll connection with the amount
already appropriated for Jail, would
be sufficient to erect all necessary
buildings and purchase another lot not
in the heart Of the business Of the city.
