proposing under pinlcalties.

An English writer tells an amusing
story of country house where regu-
lar daily routine is observed, and where
no chance is given one of breaking the
monotony. 1t is of man who wanted
to stay in country house, thinking it
would give him the opportunity of pro-
posing to a girl with whom he had been
in love for long time. His visit was
to last fortnight, but the last evening
came without his having the one chance
of being alone with her during the
whole time. As he sat at dinner (of
course he was at the opposite end Of the
table where she was) he felt the time
was fast passing away, and in few
hours he would no longer be in the same
house with her.
When the ladies went to the drawing
room he would have to sit on in the
dining room. His host might allow him
to look in at the drawing room for few
minutes that evening, but after that his
presence would be required in the bill
lard room. In utter desperation he
took mp the menu card and on it wrote,
"Will you marry me?' He doubled it
up. telling the butler to give it to the
lady in question. He did 80. She read
it and with the perfectssang froid born
only of the Nineteenth century said,

COME!

Ny sweetheart my loveling! you darkened all
the day,
When from my silent dwelling your footsteps
turned away:
The morn was dark as midnight, the monday
sad as dawn,
The milk white daisies drooped their heads
along the dewy lawn.
My darlingl my dearestl sought the garden
round,
But never In blossom your precious face
found;
No rose was red beside yonr lips, no lily like
your throat,
No sound or thrilling of your voice in any
thrush's note
All! WHAT'S iikeyour eyes, dear2 gray sparkles
of the sea.
So clear and crystal shining their beryl glances
And where is any flower Of al, that may COM
pare
With the softly dancing glitter of the sunshine
in your hair.
Alone through lingering daytime listen for
your feet,
Those springing steps no longer along the path
way beat:
| hear the dewdrops rustic in the branches
overhead,
But home and you together for many day
have fed.
Ny life is sad and weary, too dark with want
and pain,
But your dear eyes would bring its light and
gladness back again:
Ny soul is tired of desert sands, bereft of cheer
and balm,
For sou were like the diamond spring beneath
its lonely PALM
Come back, come back, my darlingl Across the
spaces hear!
Come light this night of grief and gloom. my
Hesper shining clear;
Not long have | to linger, not long to call or
cry;
Come back my treasured come, my heart, and
bless me e'er die!

Does Lightning soar tho M,,kY

Does Lightning soar tho Muka
II is well known fact that yuilk is
especially apt to sour during the preva-
lence Of q Thunderstorm, and from this
it has been surmised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the lacteal fluid. An Italian ex-
.perimenter, one Professor G.. Tolomei,
has been making trials of various sorts,
the object being to throw some light ON
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed an cleo
trio discharge from Holtz machine be-
tween two balls of platinum hanging
two inches apart in bottle containing
quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing current between two strips of
platinum at the bottom of a v tube
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in test tube to the ac-
tion of q strong battery current through
silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each one of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover Of
science could wish, it was proved that
acidulation Of the milk was delayed in
stead of FASTENED, as had been expected.
Three equal portions of milk from the
same milking thus treated began to
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of it which had not been treated
with electricity was rankly acid on the
evening of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory Of lightning
being the direct cause of the acidifica-
tion of milk, Professor Tolomef tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souring. In his second
trial of ozone he brought the surface of
a quantity of milk close to the two balls
of the machine used, and the fluid al
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alike has
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.

An Emprisoned Genius.

Alberto Topaz, who was taken to
Yuma recently to serve a two years
term for burglary gave his personal ef-
fects to his friends about the Jail.
Deputy Barry was presented with a fac
simile Of the Episcopal church made
ont Of pasteboard. Topaz could see the
church from one Of the Jail windows,
and he reproduced it almost perfectly.
He borrowed knife from Deputy Sheri-
dan with which he cut up the paste
board, and then made paste from -four
with which to stick the pieces together.
Il Is q piece Of workmanship to Be proud
OF. The greatest production Of Topaz
while confined in jail here Is . reproduc-

PARIS, Sept. 6.--The cholera appears
to be increasing. There were so cases
and AZ deaths from the disease, variously
described as cholerine and cholera, in
the city and suburbs Tuesday. The
government Is taking active precautions
in addition to those already adopted, to
restrict the admission and transit of
Russian jews. The attention of the
government has been called to the recent
arrivals Of Jews from Russia, mostly
passing through France on their way to
North and South America, several hun
dred, however, remaining in France.
Still larger parties of immigrants
from Odessa are ON their way to France,
and unless sanitary precautions were
taken they might become serious
danger to France and Western Europe
owing to their filthy habits, coupled
with the circumstance that many of
them hail from the districts where
Asiatic cholera is raging. The minister
Of the interior has decided that Russian
Jews landing at Marseilles are to be sent
to the Frioul Lazaretto, where their
clothes and their persons must undergo
washing and dfsinfection.

The Daily Raid on the Garfield Park

Deaths.

Horseman, Killed BIZ

After He Had Killed One and Prob.

Another.

CHICAGO, Sept 9. s.--Racing at Garfisld
Park has terminated IN 3 tragedy dread
full enough to shock both contestingI fac
tions IN the fight Three mems lives
paid the forfeit Of the effort to suppress
racing on the track. James M. Brown,
the horseman, was instantly killed and
Officer John Powell shared like fate.
Officer Henry Mcdowell was mortally
wounded, and the surgeons say he can
scarcely survive the night The triple
shooting was sequel to the daily raid
on the race track. Brown was standing
on the roof of the stables at the extreme
south end of the course when his arrest
was attempted. Three officers clam-
bered to the roof and Brown, drawing 3
revolver, warned them off. He was
ordered to surrender, but refused, and
pointing his weapon at the policemen
began to back toward the edge Of the
root. One of the policemen fred shot
in the air and Brown made wild leap
from the roof, landing inside the
grounds. Officers Mcdowell and Powell
followed in close pursuit. He ran
across the prairie to Harrison street,
where brick building was ia course OF
construction. Here Powell overlook
him and reached ont to grasp him BY
the sleeve. Turning squarely around,
Brown, who still graspsd his revolver
In his right hand, raised the weapon and
fired point blank at the policeman. The
bullet struck the officer in the mouth
and he fell dead. Then Brown started
to run east on Harrison and encountered
Officer Mcdowell. Both men raised
their weapons and fired simultaneously.
Mcdowell staggered few feet forward
and then fell across the sidewalk. Brown
ran west and stopped to fire again at
the prostrate body of Officer Powell.
He met Officer William Jones and both
men raised their revolvers and Brown
pulled the trigger Of his weapon but no
explosion followed. Jones had by this
time taken aim at the horseman and
fired. Brown sprang into the air and
uttered sharp cry. He staggered a
moment and then turning ran into the
areaway between two buildings where
he was found dead shortly after. Three
bullets were found in his body, showing
that he had been wounded early in the
fight.

Dowell, Of Desplaines street station, the
