There are some people who can't
appreciate poetry. The other day
James Griffin, of Plymouth, Pa, re-
turned home after an absence Of
eighteen years. When his wife saw
him, she remarked; "Begone, will
have no Enoch Arden business here"
and James departed, feeling that he
was a back number sure enough.

The idea seems to prevail that the
ladies of San Miguel county are do.
ing nothing towards an exhibit for
the Worlds fair. Such is not the
case. The ladies are at work. They
are thoroughly organized, and al
though it is only beginning, that
which has been done as reported by
the chairmen of the various COM
mittees,is encouraging, and the ladies
feel confident of a creditable exhibit
at Chicago. A special exhibit for the
women's building is under considera-
ton, and in this particular feature of
the work the ladies of San Miguel
county do not intend to be outdone.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that every
lady in San Miguel county will re-
alize the importance of the women's
work, and considering the fact that
congress in creating the board of
lady managers recognizes the ability
of woman, feel it her duty to lend
hand and do her part, showing her
self loyal to her county and territory.
Let our ladies show their interest by
attending the meetings of the Ladies'
Association, which meetings occur
the third Saturday of every month,
and are duly announced.

0iI1E giavgIItIlivst'iI

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to a large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very sppa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum-
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly. ar
ranged for the construction of a new
building Of dimensions 6Ox14O feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filed with operatives, will admit
of working at least 900 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work neutrality-suspicious.

A Narrow Escape From Fatal Accident
Last Evening.

About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a
horse attached to sleigh containing a
man and woman came dashing down Con-
gress street. When near the corner of
Park street, instead of keeping to the
right, the driver attempted to take the
sleigh, belonging to the Falmouth hotel,
was going up Congress on the right side
of the street, where it belonged. Before
the driver of the hack sleigh could pull
to one side, the other team struck the
step of his sleigh. The force of the blow
upset the single sleigh, broke the shafts
and sent the occupants out with the force
of catapult. The man struck the step
ping stone in front of DR.. III. Fl. Hunts
residence and rolled over on the brick
sidewalk He remained there, lying on
his back, with arms extended, and bleed
ing from his head, for several minutes.
People thought he was dead. Finally a
team was procured and, after several at
tempts to get a doctor, the city physician,
DR.. Brock, was found. The man came
out of his stupor, a number of stitches
were taken in his scalp and he was car
ried home. His skull was not fractured
and he will probably be ali right in a few
days. His name was given as George w.
Wells, and his occupation that of barber,
with place of business ON Pearl street.
The woman was taken into DR.. Hunt S,
where she remained for a few moments
until she could collect herself Her name
was given as Gabrieison. She was able
to walk off, although she complained of
her head.
The horse, big gray, was caught on
Congress street, before further damage
was done.

Fishermen, of all sea-faring men, are
most particular to do nothing to offend
the fates. A Portland ship carpenter,
who does work on all classes of vessels,
said the other day that he never dared
to Law hatch onto the deck of a fisher
man in any other way than right side up.
''The fishermen believe, said the carpen-
ter ''that if a hatch is turned over, the
vessel also will be turned over soon; and
don't know but what some of them
would throw overheard any man who
should persist in turning hatch bottom
side up.''
