The Child and the Pigeons.

The father of little child who died
at Macon, Ca, tells of the strange
action of three pet pigeons that be-
longed to the deceased. Up to the
time of the child's death the pigeons
had never been known to enter the
house, but on the day of her death
and after the body had been placed in
the coffin, two of the pigeons came
into the room where the corpse was
and looked at the child's face through
the glass in the cover. The pigeons
were frightened away by several
members of the family, and they
perched upon the sill, where they re-
manned for the rest of the day. In
the afternoon the other pigeons en-
tered the house and acted in the same
manner as the first two. The pigeons
would not leave the room until the
corpse was removed for burial.

The lecture on the Worlds Fair by
Allen p. Weld of River Falls, at the
NJ. f. church last Tuesday evening was
in many respects the most entertain
ing and instructive one ever delivered
in this village. The managers of this
course of lectures need not bewail
their lack of funds to procure lecturers
of national repute when such produc-
tions can be furnished by home talent.
The subject itself is one of current
interest and it was handled in a maner
which awakened in the minds of list
eners an interest still deeper. Were
it necessary to solicit attendance in no
way could it be better accomplished
than by the managers sending such
men as Mr.. Weld Gf they could be
found out among the people. His
method of chart illustration, together
with the grand panorama of mental
pictures constantly presented, fastened
the various important features in ones
mind and will materially aid those who
may be fortunate enough to attend the
exposition, while those who do not
may still feel that they too know some
thing of the grand design, the archi-
tectural beauty and general effect of
the palaces and their surroundings
which Aladdin-like have sprung up on
the uninteresting shores of Lake Mich
igan. Mr.. Weld is thoroughly con.
versant with his subject and this
knowledge must have cost him no lit
tie research. The people of this vicini.
ty will unite in thanking him for the
great pains he took in making them
sharers of part, at least of that re-
search. If anything was needed to
round up, fill in and smooth out the
evening, it was furnished by the Els
worth Orchestra. This should be con-
strued as highest praise.-ELLsacOrth

Marriages in Wisconsin.

In the Wisconsin legislature a bill
is pending by which the taking out
of marriage licenses is required as a
preliminary to getting married. One
of the Wisconsin papers says that it is
an impracticable measure and asks
that it be defeated.
That it is not at all impracticable is
shown by the experience of other
states. There is altogether too much
headlong matrimOny, and if the form
ality of taking out license would de-
ter some of these ardent lovers from
hasty enrolment in the great army of
penitents, then by all means let the
formality be made compulsory. A
marriage license is in effect notice
to everyone that matrimony is pro.
posed by the licensees; that is its chief
force and effect, as in the matter of
the recording of a deed or mortgage,
and the notice should slways be adj
vertised in the newspapers, for the
publicity is one of the representatives.

There is the Hudson industry, for
example, where nondescript Mime
sofa couples go to get themselves sur
reptitiously united in holy off.hand

ords of the district courts of Ramsey

that a large proportion of the divorce
cases which come before them are the
result of the holy matrimony labeled
out by the ministers and justices of
the peace of Hudson.
So far as the State of Minnesota is
concerned, it would be glad to have
the Hudson industry killed off by

Water Works

The call for "A meeting of the citi-

works brought out a good number of
business men. The Office of X. L.
Lien was well filed and great deal
of interest was manifested.
The meeting was called to order by

chairman and G. &. Knowles seere-
tary.
Mr.. Barrett was called on to state
the object of the meeting. lie said it
was to bring before the people the
need of some better protection from
fire and to discuss the propriety of
adopting some system of water works.
Chairman Weld made some remarks
on the same question and also gave
his views as to the best way to begin
and where the starting point really
was.
1t was then moved and seconded
that it is the sense of this meeting
that some system of water works
should be adopted. Carried unani>
mously.
Remarks were then made by Drs.
Ballard and Ashley and Messrs. Bur-
byte, Barrett, Griffin and othel s. as to
the best way to begin and what course
to pursue to arrive at some definite
conclusion, and it was voted that this
meeting elect committee of five to
