out almost at ones feet and d magnificent
picture it is. Just as far as the eye can
reach the diversified scenery seems multi
piled, until one wishes for a powerful tele-
scope that the beauties yet beyond may be
seen.
A brief halt at a cosy farm house by the
wayside, and the party regale themselves
with copious draughts of pure Alderuey-
milk that is refreshing in the extreme. But
time presses, and onward is the watchword.
Presently the magnificent proportions OF the
Heath House are spied, and the beautifully
kept grounds and evidences of cultivated en-
joyment presented a strong contrast to the
sterner beauties of nature upon which the,
party has been gazing for the past hour on

A drive of a half mile down hill brings the
merry party to the mineral springs which
makes Schooley's mountain famous. OF

are highly praised. The rocks about the

has a very marked metallic taste.
All aboard is soon heard, and the stage
begins to climb back again to the summit.
A small streamlet at the roadside in playful
glee forms many a fairy water fall as it
speeds IN its way down the mountain side.
The homeward journey is commenced. and
soon the expansive profile of "Dorncourt,"
formerly Belmont Hail." is seen. From
here the descent to the valley is commenced,
and ere long the hotel is reached, and din
ner is announced as being ready. AT 12:45

BARBER SMITH AND HIS POLE.
And His Compromise With the Tele-
phone Company.

Frank Smith, the barber of Communipaw
and Monticello avenues, not long ago had a
pole erected in front of his shop about ten
feet high. He took much pride in the pole.
and always kept it looking bright, SO that it
would attract the attention of passers-by.
Smith concluded a week ago that this pole
was not long enough. He believed that if
he put up a longer pole he would secure
MANY more customers. He took down his short
pole and erected one in its place which was
so long that it bothered the telegraph wires
above, and became quite a nuisance to the
Telephone Company. Yesterday the latter
company's men drove up in front of Franks
door and started to dig up his pole and sink
a distributing pole in its place. Smith has
tened to the Fourth precinct police station
and told Captain McKaig of his trouble.
Officer Hamburg was sent to the scene and
stopped the men from working. Mcdonald,
the foreman of the gang. called barber
Smith to one side and told him that if he
would allow them to plant their pole where
his pole stood Smith would be at liberty to
paint the telephone pole clear to the top at
the ~company's expense. Smith consented,
and he will now have even a longer pole
than the one taken down. HI

boken yesterday by Detective Nelson, who
noticed them acting in a suspicious manner
on Washington street. The woman enter ed
the clothing store at No. 209 Washington
street, and when she came out the detective
noticed that something was concealed under
her jacket. When she joined Cochrane the
two held a whispered conversation, and
Nelson soon became aware they knew he
was shadowing them. He held back for a
while, the couple meanwhile walking
towards Third street. Near the corner the
woman entered a hallway, where she left
two pairs of trousers. The arrest followed.
The woman was very anxious, when the two
were arraigned before Recorder McDonough,
to have Cochrane discharged. stating he was
innocent of any wrong done, but both were
held for the Grand Jury.
