LOVERS CANDLES.
Improvement Over the Average For
tunc-TcilinE Devices.

Improvement Over the Average For
tunc-TciliRE Devices.
From the Princess.
A quaint old superstition Is to this day
held in Poland to the effect that two lighted
candles set afioat on the river by two lovers
will by their conduct foretell if the course
of true love will run smooth or otherwise.
The Covers candles are launched al
very pretty water fete that takes place
every summer on that part of the Vistula
which runs through Poland. 1t commences
at sunset. The river is throngcd with
procession of little boats, containing masked
ladies and gentlemen. Each person carries
two wreaths ard two candies, the latter
representing the person carrying them, and
the object of his or her affections. They are
lighted. fixed firmly in the center of the
wreaths. and laid side by side in the water.
Should they float down the river close to-
gether it is a sign that their lives should be
united. Should they drift away from each
ether it is a sign that the lovers will be
parted. and should they only drift aSunder
for a little way and further on come to-
gether again 1t is sign that the loved ones
will only be parted for time, and all come
right in the end There is much method and
order about the arrangement of this pro-
cess!on. The boats glide along in rows, so
many abreast, and after the first row have
proved their wreaths they move away to
the sides and the others come forward in
succession. The river is well illuminated,
and large concourSe Of people assemblies
to watch the proceedings. The scene is a
charming one, and reminds one more of
fairyland than Of anything else.

board has appointed Perkins chief clerk"
and Lighthead did some stepsTof triumphal
character
The secretary appeared Z this morning
after the board had met. There's a letter
their honors wish taken at once to Mr. Per
kins. Can any of you deliver It at his resi-
dcnce? Then the other men looked at me,
oecause-Well, Perkins has been friendly
with me; and that hanson came very credi-
tably indeed. -
Very low, Ell? Doctors afraid not last
over the nght-that's hard lines but
l say they did not reckon on this letter.
Could not you read it to him? Y gu see, this
was his one ambition. He could never be
secretary, not able enough, but he was
made for chief clerk. Now hes got it, OF
l would not have been sent out Swimming
with this letter. Read it to- him, and the
dear old chap will be on his legs in a
week" u
1t seemed good ADVICE. and lthis was what
I read. while Perkins lay very still and did
his best to breathe:
Dear Mr.. Perkins
Il have the pleasure to inform you that
the board has appointed you chief clerk in
the schedule department n succession to

Their honors desire me further to express
their appreciation of your long and valu-
able service, and to express their earnest
hope that you may be speedily restored to

he had made such progress that L.Shthead
was allowed to see him for five minutes.

of you to come; most thoughtful"
This young gentleman came into my room
to learn the state of the case, and was much
impressed.
Really, this kind of thing-Perkins gasp
ing in bed and talking in his old-fashioned
way-knocks one out of time, don't you
know If he had gone on much longer l
should have bolted.
Like him in the office? should think so.
You should have seen the young fellows to-
day when they heard he was SO ILL., OF
course. we laugh a bit at him-Schedule Per-
kins he's called-because he's SO dry and
formal; but that's nothing.
with all his little cranks he knows his
business better than any man in the depart
ment; and then he's gentleman, dye see?

Program of July 4.
On that same torrid Fourth of July, in re-
Spouse to cali a an ice factory, found
one Of the watchmen, who had taken an
overdose of spirits frumentii to aid his pa
triotism and who had gone to sleep on the
ice as a result, suffering from badly frozen
feet. I submit that frozen feet on the
Fourth of July in southern city is some
what parodoxical.
On another occasion I responded to a case
at the intersection of two prominent bust
ness streets and found the usual crowd
around the body of a man lying on the
sidewalk, the mans clenched hand hold
ing tightly the scrawny neck of a picked
turkey. Links of sausage and the head of
wooden monkey on stick protruded
from his overcoat pockets, while in his
other hand the remnant of a cheap cigar
was greatly in evidence.
Poor fellow" Dropped dead on his way

should be prepared for death"

From his breath and the other conditions
which were present, 1 diagnosed the case as

that very recently our hospital had been the
subject of severe newspaper criticism for
not caring for a case of this character. l
decided to take him with me. When the
ambulance stopped under the porch of the
receiving room, my patient arose and
alighted with great ease therefrom. much
'bliged for the ride, doc.," said he as he
walked away, still clnging to the turkey,
and leaving the hospital attendants, to say
nothing of myself, somewhat astounded.

Miss Nightinsale's Good Work.

From the London News.
The now venerable Miss Nightingale,
whose state IF health did not permit her
acceptance Of the Invitation to be present
at the dill er to the Balaklava veterans,
has devoted much of her time and energy
for some years past to the promotion of
sanitation in North Bucks where she has
been accustomed to spend much Of her
later life. She has been the life and soul
of a movement for bringing intelligence to
sanitary matters generally in district
where such movement vas greatly need
ed. It has been carried on by the technical
education committee of the Bucks county
moving spirit, and very unostenta tiously
has, in her declining years, been continuing
in this way the practical benevolence which
SO endeared her to all English hearts in
the Crimean war.

The Stamp Drawer.

From Hardware.
1 once talked with a man who had served
term in prison for embezzlement. He
said that the first step in his downfall was
the stamp drawer. The clerks In that
store. as in many, II not in most stores,
helped themselves to stamps from this
drawer for their private letters, using the
firms stationery also. What more natural
than that they should take few more
stamps If they were ordering some trife
by mail? Having made this start and see
ing no trouble therefrom, how easy 1t was
to take a larger amount when more ex-
pensive article was wanted! The step from
the dollars worth of stamps to the dollar
itself was not very long one, and then to
larger amounts, followed at length by dis
covery and prison! This was the mans
story, and it set me to thinking.

Taxes Returned.

AT meeting OF the City Council
Thursday night an ordinance was
passed directing the City Clerk to issue
vouchers to the several banks of the
City to return 10 them the taxes paid
under protest for the years 1893 and
1894. This was done in accordance
with the decision of the Court of APP
peals in the bank cases. Under the
decision of the Court, the Hewett
Law holds good, being, as contended
by the banks, in the nature of a con-
tract which the trainers of the New
Constitution could not annul 1t
was ordered there to be paid back : to
the Traders Deposit Bank--2795.9l,
to the Mt. Sterling Notional Bank
$1692.75, to the Exchange Bank of
Kentucky-$l44S49.
Mayor Baum holds up the
ordinance as yet not having decided
whether he will veto it. The decision
of the Court exempts the banks from
taxation for municipal purposes.

A Midniuht Shooting.

On Friday night about eleven
Yp'cIock people who live in the section
Of town east of Maysville and north of
Main streets were startled by a couple

Henry Watson, Councilman from the
third ward had gone to Settles Bros
: livery stable and left his horse and
buggy. He started in the direction of
home and when he reached the mouth
of Wilson Alley only few steps away,
the shots were heard. A crowd soon
gathered at the scene and Watson ex-
planned he had been fired on by some
party or parties who were in the alley
the guns being SO near his face that
the flash from them blinded him.
Parties, and there are several of them,
whose word is unimpeachable, say the
direction Of the flashes were upward
and the guns were pointed in the air.
Parties who W ere near did not hear
any one running down the alley as
WATSON says be did. 1t may have
been Some half drunken fool trying to
: perpetrate very poor practical joke
or it may be possible, as some assert,
that the negro johnson, who shot
policeman Evans on Saturday flight,
may have attempted to carry into af-
feet threat he is said to have made
to kin Watson, who some five years
since killed Johnson,s father.
