A curious case of house moving was re-
Gently witnessed in Oregon. A man who
owned a residence at Seattle, which cOss
him S5,000 to erect, moved to olympia anu
did not have sufficient funds to build anoth-
or house He bought lot and concluded
TO remove the building ne owned at Seattle.
Every one laughed at him, but he persisted
Rolling the house down TO the river, he
loaded it upon a scow and il was soon at
Olympia a distance OF about sixty miles.
Then he had il rolled upon his lot, and,
strange to say, not a timber was strained

journey.
A Baltimore special says: ''The girls at a
young ladies' seminary al CantonSVille play
ed a game Of football yesterday. The IN
yisibes had red toboggan caps, with jaunty
tassels, and red skirts. The Unquenchable
wore blue caps and blue skirts. All Wore
black hose. There was no gridiron. When
they saw the ball they just kicked at it.
and when one OF them got chance 10 pick
up the bail she gathered it in and ran with
it and gave it swat against the fence at
one end of the ground for goal, for there
were no goal posts. A hedge at the other
end did good service for the other side.
Some of the most delightful scrimmageS
imaginable occurred. Often they were
piled five deep. They played real foot
ball and punted the leather with no little
skill"
Governor Flower, OF New York, viii allow
electrical experts to try TO resusciatate the
next prisoner who is electrocuted. Ever
since the adoption of the electrical execu-
ton act by the state, the Westinghouse
people, whose dynamOs are used, have de-
Clared that electricity was not the cause OF
death, but that death was assured by the
holding of an autopsy directly after the
body had been taken from the electrical
chair. No less an authority than Nicola
Tesla. the famous electrician, contended
that he could bring back to life a man
killed in an. electrical chair, provided the
attempt was made Immediately after exc
cutlon. Mr.. George Westinghouse has al
ways asserted that electrical death was
sham, and that a New York commission,
headed by Elbridge 7. Gerry, had added the
autopsy clause TO the law so as to make IL
certain that the man was dead.
Within the last few weeks the agitation OF
the subject has become prominent, and an
appeal IS to be made to the governor to al
low the next man condemned to be used as
a subject to be experimental on. The gov
ernor says he VIII grant permission TO do
this. The attempt, if successful, will prove
that the state eXecutioners have been the
surgeons who have held the autopsy rather
than the state electrician.
