carpets long enough before you were born.
1t will take me just two minutes by the
watch to have this carpet up"
He stopped down at one corner Of the
room and got his fingers under the carpet
and heaved. A yard or so was loosened,
and Mr.. Bowser fell backward, and his
heels kicked high in the air.

the tacks," said Mrs. Bowser as she came
forward.

When Mrs. Bowser had gone, Mr.. Bow

precautions he lifted one side Of the carpet.
A smile was just breaking through the
redness on his face when he grabbed for
another pull and struck 10 ounce tack.
1t was waiting for him, and they heard his
yell of surprise in the next house. When
he came down after jumping two feet
high, the whole building seemed to shake.
"Mercy on me, but what's the matterf'
exclaimed Mrs. Bowser as she rushed in.
"When want you, will call you," he
replied as he waved her back
He wanted to strike the wall, kick the
door or break window, but he restrained
himself. He even forced himself to be
calm and to pull the rest Of the carpet up
foot by foot, instead of making one ter
rife ''yank" which should heave 1t out of
the window and across the street. He
must fold 1t up to get 1t outdoors. He
had this task half accomplished when he
made slip and pitched forward and
sprawled out. He did not cry out as $50
carpet tacks jabbed him from head to heels,
seeking a vital spot He was past that. An
hour later, when Mrs. Bowser, who had
become alarmed at the unusual stiffness,
entered the room, Mr.. Bowser was not to
be seen. He was not in the back yard He
was not up stairs. When lunchtime came,
he entered the front door as usual, and she
rushed forward to exclaim:

Recention and Ball.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The manage
ment and guests of the Hotel Majestic,
the largest and most ornate of the
many new hotels in the upper west
side district, gave reception and ball
last night to mark the formal opening
of the house. About five hundred in
vited guests were present, in addition
to the five hundred guests of the
hotel, and till an early hour
in the morning the adjacent
streets were full of waiting carriages.
Dancing began in the Colonial ball
room at $50 o'clock, and at 1l:3O
O'Clock there was supper in the restau-
rant and winter garden. All the re-
ception rooms were handsomely deco
rated for the occasion, and the supper
tables were laden with masses of cut
flowers. The dance programme con,
sisted of fourteen numbers, and
the music was under the direc-
ton of Vladimir Purischoff. In the
intervals of dancing the guests wan.
dered through the reception rooms and
corridors, admitting the decorations
and artistic furnishings. 1t was not
until past midnight that the Virginia
Reel, which closed the programme, was
announced, and the invited guests be-
gan to think ofgoing home.

FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. %, 1894.
GENERAL MALONE and the party O.

GENERAL MALONE and the party OF
whose State committee he is chairman
are as much divided now as ever on the
question of the policy that party should
pursue. Last summer the General was
opposed to running any congressional
candidates, and advised outstanding OF
force for next falls legislative election.
His party disagreed with him then and
ran congressional candidates, and, ow-
ing solely to democratic dissatisfaction
with the Observation-Disclosures, elect
ed one of them, and came pretty close
TO electing more. Now, however,
though the General still believes the
supreme effort should be made at the
election of the members of the leglsla-
ture next November, his party, that Is
az represented by two of its leading
newspaper organs, thinks the better
policy would be to make no contest
next fall. The Generals advice was
rejected last summer; next summer 1t
will, in all probability, be accepted,
for wherever there are offices to fill in
Virginia republicans will be there or
thereabout.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 2S.-The storm

Shows are reported in the Black Hills,

zard has caused great loss of life. Many
people are entirely without fuel. In some
of the counties there is not tree or q
twig. The people have no animals to
carry them to places of safety, and in q
day or so we shall hear of wretched
deaths from this cold.

OF ALL THE innumersble politicians
this country has produced, none has
ever proved greater disappointment to
enemies as well as friends than Secre
tary Carlisle. AS a member of both
branches of Congress, his ability and
efficiency were acknowledged by repuo-
licans and democrats alike, but since
the evil hour in which he left the SEN
ate to accept his present position, q
blight seems to have fallen upon him,
and there are few now who concede bis
qualifications for the place, and who do
not confess that their ideas of his great
ness were not we'll founded. His bank
ing bill has few other supporters be-
sides the President and Mr.. Springer.
But reputation, like most other things,
is won by luck.
