which inspired Samuel Woodworth's

moss.covered bucket still hangs there,
in spite OF the lapse of nearly a hun

to be a corruption Of the Indian Sat

A Strange wedding Custom.

During medieval times a woman who
had nothing when she was married
escaped responsibility for her debts.
Women were then often married in a
single garment to relieve themselves
OF indebtedness. A young and noble
German lady Of the sixteenth century,
to make assurance doubly sure, had
the marriage ceremony performed
while she was standing in a closet. en-
tirely Invested Of clothing. She put
out her hand through the crack OF the
door and was thus married. As soon
as the ceremony was performed the
groom, clergyman and witnesses left
the room, she came out, arrayed her.
self in clothes provided by her hus-
band and took her place at the mar
rage feast.

entrance OF two men. one OF whom grssped
him by the throat. while the other jumped
on top Of him and proceeded 10 batter his
face with his clenched 6sts. He attempted
10 get up, but Was beaten and dubbed

"For Gods sake" he msnaged TO gasp

The other did not feel 90 murderously

his life.
There was . trunk In The store into which
the more valuable portion Of the stock was

A strange wsrId.

While you are thinking aboutit, this
is a strange world. One man is strug-
Cling for justice while another man is
fleeing from it. One man is trying
hard to save money enough to buy a
house and trying just as hard to sell
his house, for less than it cost him, to
get rid Of it. One man is spending all
the money he can earn in taking a girl
to the theatre and sending her flowers,
hoping eventually to call her his vile,
while his neighbor is spending all his
gold to get divorce. One al escapes
all the diseases that flesh is heiy to and
gets killed on the railroad, while his
friend escapes without a scatch and
dies with the whooping cough. A few
OF our subscribers have called and paid
up. Many more have not, but We
wish they would.-Ex.

white House Family Department..

Five bedrooms, a dining-room and
a sitting-room comprise the space de-
voted to the use Of the Presidents fam
lily in the White House. In addition
to these the red room, on the frstfioor,
may be used as a parlor at hours when
it is not open to the public. Two OF
the bedrooms are quite small and Mrs.
Harrison was forced to utilize a portion
of the hall as a sleeping-room for her
maid and use a kerosene stove to heat
it. In comparison with the appoint
ments Of foreign executives the accom-
modations OF the White House are
ridiculously meager. and it is to be
hoped that Mrs. Harrison's plan OF
adding wings to the building may be
carried out.

last Saturday and played the yam

rather small. but appreciative audi.
ence. p. r. Eaton, as Josh Scrap"

house in a roar Of laughter. H.. A.

some very good acting. and Miss Le-
Roy, as "Miralda," was quite pleas.
ing. This is the best company that

their first appearance was sufficient as
a drawing card for Monday evenings
entertainment, when True Irish
Hearts" was played to a full house.
This is q pretty drama, in which MIR.
Rayner read his lines in Irish charac-
ter to great advantage. As "Terry
OMoore" be was an Irish lad !" true to
the CORE" il droll and clever acting
could have made him one Miss Hun
ter, in the dual characters OF Meg o.
Flarity" and kitty O'Leary," sus-
tanned both well, and Miss Leroy, as
Kathleen O'Connor," interested the
audience very much. The second and
third acts were a very thrilling por-
trayal OF Kathleen's dream. Bernard
kavanaugh, Notwithstanding his viii
lainy r the play, captured a number
OF friends by his fair acting and good
singing. On Tuesday night was pre-
sented the historical drama OF "Only
a Shamrock" which was well acted
all through, and was fully appreciated
by the audience. Mr.. Barr made a hit
in the silver song OF 1.-THE Old Iron
Bucket" and received a very hearty
ovation from the young men Of the
town after the show was over.
MIR. Rayner promises to visit Eureka
again in about ten or twelve weeks,
with . troupe Of twelve members, when
he will present Faust's Gretchen"
After the performance Tuesday even
ing the pleasure Of the audience was
made more complete by a social dance,
in which the troupe took part. The
