when Two women ralhed At once.

Mrs. Barnhill and Miss Annie Dono-
van came to Justice Tngle's court to ad-
just little difference relating to the
nonpayment of rent. Mrs. Barnhill I'M
folded her tale of woe and Miss Donovan
started her story. She had not gone far
when Mrs. Barnhill chimed in too.
Then the race started. Each woman
with tense nerves settled down to talk
to the end Their tongues wagged "a il
they had been hung on pivots. 1t was
the most artistic exhibition Of the kind
that had been seen in Brooklyn for many
years. The justice raped for order.
The women continued talking.
The judge then began to pound on the
desk, and although he pounded and inn
plored the women for silence, they reso-
lutely continued. Five court officers,
two interpreters, one clerk and a stenog-
rapher could not stop the noise, and the
hubbub increased. The justice began
to grow nervous. Selling his hat he
made dash for the door. The women
followed him as he sprinted down the
hall. Out into the street they went, the
justice leading by two lengths, but the
women running strong and gaining at
every stride.
Their tongues never stopped. Tho
justice captured horse car at the near
est corner. Don't let these women ON, :"
he gasped.
The conductor OWNED the situation
at once, and running to the front plat
form he assisted the driver to get more
speed out Of the animals. The women,
still talking, were following close be-
hind, but the car soon outstripped them
and the Justices life was saved.-New

A scheme for Moving Vessels.

A scheme for taking vessels of twenty
feet draft through the Canadian canals
by means of steel pontoons placed under
them is being urged upon the Canadian
government. The expense of this sys-
tenn would be about $500, 200, while to
deepen the canals sufficiently would cost
many millions of dollars. Exchange

A noteworthy experiment has been
made in the regular army of the United

soldiers, three of cavalry and four of in

said: tThe removing of the duties on
wool would be great benefit to the

doubt of it, The manufacturers would
be benefited, that is plain. But where
would the wool growers come in? The
measure would help one class at the

The Washington Independent urges the
electors of Washington state to elect a
legislature pledged to work for the pas
sage of law to construct portage at
the dalles of the Columbia, on the
Washington side of the river. The Tn
dependent claims that Eastern Washing
ton can afford to pay a tax of $1,100, 900
annually for this purpose and save
money by it. All true enough. perhaps,
but then Washington won't do it. The
legislators of that state are. too much
concerned with building up the Sound
cities to care much for the needs of the
eastern part of it..
