Tho early traditions concerning the
city of Damascus are curious and inter
estins, even though Enthusiastically ana
contradictory. BY some of the ancient
writers it was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site of the garden
of Eden, and Just outside there is IL
beautiful meadow of red earth from
which, it is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
field is called Agcr Dam;,scenus and
near its center there formerly stood IL
pillar which was said to mark the pre-
else spot where our first parent was ere
ated. n few miles ont there is an cini-
nence called the Mountain of A bel, sup
posed by some TO he the place where the
first two brothers offered their sacri-
fees, also the spot where the first mur
der was committed. The most interest
ing spot pointed ont however, is about
three leagues from the city where an
old ruin is shown which all tho orient
believe to be tho tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous spot
are known to antodate the Christian era
by several hundred years. Up to the
time CT Vcspasian the interior of the
tomb is said to have been lighted and
warmed by one OF tho ever burning
lamps so commonly used by the an
clients. st. Louis Republic.

1T MAKES THE HEART GROW EoNpeR.

1t was in the early summer when my love and
first parted.
Shc tho seaside sought and left me in tho city
broken hearted.
l to swcltcr through tho summer, she on seq
kissed shore to wander.
But her last words gave me comfort, absence
makes the heart grow fondcr"
How loved the little letters that from time to
timc she sent me!
AS read, it seemed that they n momentary
breeze lent mo,
While she wrote of picnics, bathing, yachting
trips, then bado me ponder
Well the truth of that old saying, Absence
makes tho heart grow fondcr."
Fewer still were now her letters, and she wrote

Once more came the same old answer-any 9TH

Don't you know, you stupid Willie, Absence

Ono moro letter yet she sent me, while she at

that she was married.
And twas thus her note concluded-as read

4 Stupid IsurcIar.

AS an example of stupidity you
conld find meme better than the manner
in which my house was robbed" said
an east cndcr. When the servants got
up, they found all over the house mud
tracks, which were remarkable for the
size of the foot that made them. They
were made by Il shoe not smaller than
No. 10. Upon trying the dining room
door 1T was found to be locked. After Il
little searching we found IL key to open
1T. Upon the table were thrown a suit
OF clothes and Il shirt which had evi-
IDENTIFY been brought from one of the up
stairs rooms. Here the fellow had risked
going up stairs, had taken suit of
clothes which was new and worth about
$50 and shirt, then went down to the
dining rom and locked himself in while
he examined his plumber. Now comes
the most stupid part. He tore the cuff
bands off $3.50 shirt to get pair of
collar buttons worth almost nothing.
evidently not being able to comprehend
that he could remove them more easily
by unfastening them. Then he took
from the vest pocket Il cheap watch.

BURpEAu,s BURIAL.
State Honors Paid the Dead Statesman
in Pouring Rain.


Paris, Dec. 16.-Auguste Burdeau. late
president Of the Chamber of Deputies.
was buried to-day with state honors. The
body lay in the court of honor in the Bal
ais Bourbon. 1t was guarded over night
by deputies and was surrounded with cam
delabra, tri-colors and palms. The catal-
faque was the one used at the funeral
of President Carnot.
President Casimir-Perier arrived at
the Palais Bourbon this morning at $3.50
o'clock in a pouring rain. The hall was
then file" with denu''s, seniors, high
officials and conspicuous private citi-
7ens 1T 9-.5 o'c,tck Francois Cesaire
de Mahy, deputy for Reuon, began his eu-
logy of the dead statesman. His Grafton
was almost exclusively an historical re-
view of NJ. Burdeaus political career
NJ. Demole spoke for the Senate, and NJ
Gailleton, mayor of Lyons, NJ. Burdeau's s
home, made a brief address. There was
no religious ceremony. The hearse was
the one used at NJ Carnots funeral One
of the pall-bearers was Gen. Dodds, the
commander of the French in the last
Dahomey campaign.
The procession started off for the GEM
etery of Pere la Chaise at 1925 O'Clock.
The hearse was drawn by six horses,
caparisoned in black and silver, and led
by grooms. The president returned to the
Elysee Immediately after the services, and
was represented by his secretary. Nine.
Burdeau was also absent. The march to
the cemetery was made through rain and
mud. The band of the Republican Guards
played a dirge, and the crowd which lined
the streets and half filled the palace De
la Concorde, stood wet and silent as the
long column moved by.
Just outside the cemetery, the coffin was
removed from the hearse, and the troops
of the Paris garrison marched past. The
march lasted half an hour. The body
then was removed to the grave, where
NJ. Foucher said a few words in behalf
of the friends and the family before the
coffin was lowered

FALL RIVERS MILLS.
Sales Of PRINT Cloths Slack-A Revival
of the WAGES Agitation.

Fail River, Mass. Dec. 16.-The sales of
print cloths during the past week were
much below half Of the weekly production.
The price Of goods remained firm. how
ever and the demand for spots seemed to
be much in excess of expectations at this
season of the year. It is not thought that
the goods will accumulate during the next
two weeks. The attention of brokers is be-
ing directed to a large auction sale adver-
used to take place in New York next
week.
There is much activity among the unions
of the city owing to the expiration yester-
day of the sixty days limit. This limit"
meant that if the margin between the cost
of pounds of cotton and the selling price
of 45 yards of 64-64 print cloths exceeded
Soc, the operatives would be entitled to an
increase of 10 per cent. in wages. The mar
gin is but Il cents or thereabouts conse-
quenty the manufacturers have no
thoughts of making a move towards a re-
adjustment of the present schedule. The
unions propose to take action looking to-
ward this restoration. During the coming
weak the weavers will make a formal de-
mand at a meeting held in Music hall.
In the call for meeting issued by the
Carders union on Saturday, Secretary Tan
sey advises the members to attend the next
meeting of the association, when the mat
ter of affiliating with the Mule Spinners'
Association is to be considered. This is an
indication that operatives intend to bind
together the best paid and the most poorly
paid operatives of the mills in the trades
union, and it is important from the fact
that the idea is meeting with the hearty
cooperation of the officers of the Spinners'
Union, including Secretary Howard. For
some weeks Secretary Howard has been di-
recting his attention to approaches from
the carders and spinners to consider the
matter, and it now seems very probable
that an afiliation will be effected.
