reached him at the Office.
He did not go out To lunch; he
would not have taken the edge on

he glanced at the items on the neatly
written card.
"Hang the expense" he cried.

The Alderman returned home very

of inducing Mary Smith to forsake
her evil ways and devote herself en-

the Cook was a hopeless case. Be

which is:a long time to contemplate
good dinner or even series. Then
the Alderman had to explain matters
to his better half--no pleasant task.
However, he faced it manfully, freely
admitting that he was nothing like
so clever as he had imagined.
"Now do the best you cam" he
added; 'get good COOK if possible,

OCTOBER'S PARTY.

October gave a party
The leaves by hundreds came
The Chestnuts. Oaks and Naples,
And leaves Of every name.
The sunshine spread carpet,
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather le, the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed
Tho lovely Misses Maple,
In scarlet, looked their best.
All balanced to their partners
And gayly fiuttered by;
The sight was like "a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rusty hollow,
Al hide and seek they Played
The party closed at shutdown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder,
They few along the ground,
And there the party ended,
In hands across all round.

Returning at O'clock, he found
Mr.. Jones still on the spit, at the

scanned them. One entry struck him
at once:
Mary Smith. Three years cook to the

OF the Stakeholder Items.
LYME, April 2.-The mystery surround
ing the disappearance of William 81. Coch-
rane, the Brooklyn, N. Y, man, who is
supposed to bs in the vicinity, deepens on
investigating the case. There is but little
doubt that the man seen in this vicinity
was Ccchrane, and further, that be had the
money with him which he took when he
left home. A diligent search by detectives
falls to reveal any news of him along the
road between here and New York, and 1t Is
evident that he must have left New York
on the morning train on the day he dissp-
pesred, and come directly to this place.
THE PAINTERS STRIKE
BRIDGEPORT, April 2.-The painters of
this city and Waterbury who yesterday
struck with the other unions of the state,
demanding nine hours work for the sum-
mer for the came pay which they now re-
ceive for ten, last night, after discussing
the situation at length, voted to give the
employers more time, and 1t was agreed to
allow them until September to respond
to the demands of the union.

A NEW EXPLOSIVE.

1t Is a Brown Fatty Substance and
Will Replace Gunpowder In the
German Army.
BERLIN, April "A commission of artil-
lsry experts has been testing for several
days at the Jueterborg, a new explosive
which is intended ultimately to replace
gunpowder in the German army. The ex-
plosive is brown fatty substance of the
consistency of frozen oil when exposed in
ordinary temperature. 1t retains its con-
sistency up to liz degrees fahrenheit. A
shock of spark does not set 1t off.
When used in guns the explosion Is OBJ
tanned through contact with another chem
ical compound. The explosion is almost
unsccempsnied by smoke and the detons-
ton is uncomfortable. The recoil Is very
slight, even when the heaviest charges have
been used. The explosive does not heat the
weapon sufficiently to cause difficulties in
the way of rapid firing, and cartridges
once used are easily re6lled. For
the present. rifle, model of 1888, the new
compound is not available, but If future
tests be as satisfactory as the recent
ones it will bs introduced generally in the
artillery branch of the service.
Four models of the new army rifles ,hav-
ing many advantages over the rifles now
In use, have passed successfully the trials
of the small arms inspectors.
The inventor of all four Is DR.. Weiss, of
the Gera Dynamite company.

its salutiferous properties are now

sting of regret is that he cannot

The first "pig" they came to was presid-
ed over by Lin Bush. He attempted to
prevent the entrance of the females but he
was tossed to one side and for the first
time the women stood within the precincts
of North Dakota prohibition dive. An
inventory of stock was commenced and
several bottles of shot tea' and "porter''
wsre seized. Landlord Bush presently re-
turned with assistance and the women were
elected.
When the ladies gathered themselves up
out of the street several were bleeding
from brutal blows and all were somewha,

BRUSSELS, April 2.-The socialists met
In convention in Client to day, principally
to determine the attitude of their party in
case universal suffrage should be refused.
This morning thousand socialists. led BY
the mayor of Roubaix and several town
councillors, left the train amid the shouts
of a crowd which surrounded the station
and marched in body to the convention
hall On all sides they were greeted with

After discussing at length the advisa-
bility of general strike the congress this
afternoon passed resolutions substantially
in harmony with previous declarations on
the subject. The resolutions were to the
effect that there should be no general
strike in Belgium in case the restrictions
upon the suffrage should be limited by
parliament to questions of age and plu-
rality of votes of families.
If, however, parliament should grant
plurality of votes TO property owners and
holders of university diplomas, the general
labor council should be charged to order
