The girls had seen picture in an
English paper of life-saving fire corps
organized by the young ladies of an
English town, and, as Upton was lack
ing in any such association, they de-
cided to form a similar brigade. The
drill, says Harper's Bazaar, consisted in
getting around a large blanket and
holding it as net to catch unfortu-
mates who jumped from the second or
third stories of the burning dwellings,
Great enthusiasm was manifested
among the damsels, and dogs, cats and
heavy weights were dropped success
fully from dizzy heights. But the fair
members of the corps wanted some real
practice, but could not persuade any
small boy or man to make martyr of
himself in the cause of beauty and
science.
The brigade was very anxious to
have somebody try it, so that they

ABSOLUTELY PURE

It is reported that Justice Patrick Div yer, who graces the bench of the New York police court, is about to resign the Tammany leadership in the second as sembly district. This report calls out 8 protest from The World, which thinks that he has selected the wrong position to resign. and that "he ought in common decency to give up his police magistracy instead" Probably, however, Divver will continue to wear the judicial ermine. He is thrifty, and while his preparation for the bench was limited to a careful study of the methods of practice at his own bar while he was running gin mill in Chatham street, and in spite of the fact tensive ignorance of the law" he is about as good a judge as tammany cares to have on the bench. The way to get rid of Divver is to down the machine that is re- sponsible for him.
 George Gould has paid his personal taxes in Lakewood, N. J. The amonnt for which he sent his check, $36, 200, was on an assessment of $2,00O,0O0 This is said to be about half what he would have been required to pay in New York City. It comes almost as a fl ee gift to the town. ship of Lakewood. Very rich men can always obtain an easy tax rate and few questions asked, from towns to which their large contributions are godsend. In Gould's case the effort to enforce the personal tax law in New York City has been complete failure.

Comptroller Nicholas Staub has brought action against School Fund Commissioner Olney for alleged mismanagemento of the state school money. Attachment papers were filed in the town clerks office by Sheriff Pomeroy, of Windham county for $5, 1000, attaching the residence of Com Oissioner Olney on Washington street.. An attachment was also served on MT. Olney's home in Thompson. The writ is returnable to the superior court of Wind ham county on November 6. The charges have for long time been hinted at, and Mr. Staub has been Investigating MT. Olney's accounts for over year, looking for crookedncss. The state auditors hav- ing found all correct, MT. Staub appoint ed special auditors, who also failed to re- port anything wrong. It will be remem- bered that some time ago the school fund suffered losses by Ohio investments. This was the beginning of the controllers at tack upon the management. He charges that the commissioners paid a commis- sion to parties who negotiated western in- vestments. This is probably true, being common custom in such cases. But the controller further makes the astounding charge, upon which he bases his action, that dividend of the commission went back into the. commissioners pocket. MT. Olney's long and honorable business life makes such charge seem preposter- ons, as we have no doubt investigation will prove it to be.

E,nerlences with LIONS.

Mr.. Selous, having spent q years in Afri'
m. has returned to London from Mashona-
land. Mr.. Selous confessed that he had
killed 100 elephants and 25 lions. His best
lion story was about mail carrier in Ma
shonaland. The man in question was rid
ing one horse and leading another, when
carried the mails, when the lion made his
appearance and his spring. The latter de-
moralized the mail completely. One horse
was bowlcd over, the other broke away
without it's rider, and the mail carrier very
naturally lost all interest in the mail.
The lion did not succeed in OBTAINING
either of the horses (they turned up next
dav at the fort, one very badly wounded
and without the mailbags), 80 he returned
to the unfortunate carrier. Him the lion
treed and then sat down at the loot oi tne
tree to await developments. Fortunately
for the carrier they did not develop entire
" as the lion could have wished, for the
rext dav a caravan passed and the lion
etoILed away into the bush, doubtless with
nm increased contempt for the reiinements
of civilization. The mailbags were not
found for months afterward.
"Are lions fond of man meatF

Joe Mulhattan and several others who have
become noted as prevaricators. His talent
in this direction is so marked indeed as to

One young woman went to the matinee
prepared for the affecting parts Of the
play. She carried lightly sewed in the
center of a second handkerchief a tiny
powder puff, which she proceeded to
dust with powder from little enameled
box into which it fitted. With the puff
concealed in the handkerchief she calm
ly watched the scene progress to the
agony point, ignoring the tears that, sure
enough, began presently to stream down
her cheeks When the curtain fell, how
ever, she took instant advantage of the
momentary reaction of the audience, and
wiping her face with one handkerchief,
with the second she cleverly busted her
too red nose and cheeks with the toning
down powder, and beamed upon the wo-
men about her who were not forearmsd.
