THE NEW GIRL.
She Was . Trife Surprised by What She
 Heard.

Heard.
 A new girl came to work on Buffalo paper recently, to "do the society,"" She was fresh from 8 Baptist seminary, but she had a longing to be of tho world, worldly. Especially was she ambitious to interview actresses and know stage people. The city editor finally gayo her a note of introduction to the manager of "The Pink Pig" Comic Opera company, which Is now rehearsing in this city.
 Miss Jones went around to the theater last Sunday morning. Dress rehearsal was in progress. The manager was glad to see her. She had gushful, throe col umn write up look in her eye. He gave her Q seat down in front, and the rehearsal went on. It was the first time Miss Jones had ever witnessed theatrical perform ance, except as one of many spectators She was now the entire audience.
 And 1t was so different from what she had expectedl Life on the boards was evil dently not all yiolets and rose colored dis cussions on art. The people on the stage were coarse. The prima donna and the leading tenor were bandying low jests, while the stage manager was impartially swearing at everybody, without distinc- ton of sex.
 Finally the manager approached. How are you enjoying it, Miss Jonesp" he asked.
 "Very much indeed, she faltered, this being the first lie she had ever told.
 "Well, come around behind and see my people, urged the urbane manager. "I think I may say without boosting that have the most refined ladies in the profes- | sion."
 And away they went to the women s dressing room. Such a scene the country | girl had never beheld before. The scanti- ness of the costumes quito appalled, her. And the girls didn't seem at all to mind | the fact that stage hands were constantly passing through the room, but went on composedly with their robing and disrob- ing. "Aren't they a superior lot of ladiesf asked the proud manager. Its seldom I you see so much culture and refinement in the chorus of a comic opera company. Miss Jones had nothing to say, but tht manager didn't seem to mind that Ht | rattled on in laudation of his company Presently one of the girls spoke to him saying:
 .'CoIonel, my costume is rather scanty All of it doesn't seem to have arrived yet.
 "Here," thought the visitor. 'sis the on' oasis of womanliness in all this desert O yulgarity. Pm so glad that one of thes' poor creatures has developed a sense Q shamei'' So she listened.
 "What's wrong, Flossief" asked tn colonel "Your dress seems to be al there. A yard and half of tulle an. spangles, and-er-all the rest of it."
 nNo, 'tain't all there, colonel, returned the modest girl. 1T can't find my goldel girdle. ."-Buffalo Express

The output of aluminium in this country has grown since 1885 from nothing to S200,0 900 ia value and the price Is now only one-tenth of what it was in 1888.
 The corn crop in Kansas and all through the West is now past the dan ger of frost and is the largest ever raised.
 It Is said that when MT Pulitzer bought the New York World, he paid the late William Henry Hurlbert S100,- 900 to quit his claim on the editvrship. Not many men are remunerated like that for being editors, and fewer still for not being editors. Waterbury American.

 THAT PETITION. We are informed that forty-seven names appear on the petition to have North Canaan vote on the license question Oct 7. Three oi the petitioners are not legal voters More than half of the petitioners are not property tax payers. Most of them are virtually transcicnt residents, liable to depart whenever a better job is offer. ed. None of them are recognized as leading business men. and in fact it is doubtful if even six of them could bt classed as businessmen or men engaged in business. In fact nearly al the petitioners are classed as day labor CTS, nevertheless that is no disgrace tc them, but it shows that the property owners and so called business men have not sigued the petition. In other words the petition is not from the class of mer who, world over, are designated by the term representative men,"
