Our people were shocked aud
sorely grieved at the announcement of
the sudden death of Mr.. Walter Max
well, Superintendent of the ArcadIan
Brownstone quarries at the Amnicon
river, east of this city. Mr.. Maxwell
was in his usual good health, and his
wife who had been visiting him for
some days, had left him but the dav be-
fore to visit some friends in Duluth.
Saturday morning he did not appear at
breakfast time and when one of the
workmen went to his tent to call him
he found Mr.. Maxwell lying dead and
cold in his bed in perfectly natural
position showing that he had died with
out struggle. Mr.. Maxwell has been
manager of the company for the past
six years or more, and was a gentleman
highly esteemed by all who knew him.

1T ANNOYED HIM.

Tie Came From the West and Was Puz.

His coat was trife too long and his
trousers all inch too wide at the knee tc
be strictly and exactly fashionable but,
aside from these nice determinations
he was dressed according to the dictates
of the fashion autocrats.
We took the Ell" together at Park

sion, half amusement, half annoyance,
on his face At Thirty third street he
surrendered his seat to an elderly wom-
all and stood in the aisle i'll front OF
where I sat 1t was evident that he was
anxious to tell some one of the subjects
when he caught my eye and opened the
conversation.
"Just now," he said, "as was hur-
rying to the station, a man caught hold
of my arm and stopped me. He was a
respectable looking fellow, we'll clothed,
and wore a grayish beard parted in the

shouted after me:
"'I knew you were from the west,
and l knew you would give me the mon

CHOW, what I want to know" said
my acquaintance, sis how did he know
I was from the west? It's true, but how

New Sort of Poker,

A new variation of poker has sprung
up. 1t deals out the entire pack i'll equal
plumbers to ali players. If five are play
ing. for example, each will get ten cards
at the start. If seven are playing, each
gets seven, the three cards left over be-
ing put aside. Then, instead of drag=
ing, each player discards as he likes
fro4s his hand, SO that he shall have five
cards to play with, making the best
hand possible out Of those dealt him.
Hands are apt to run high IN this sort
Of game. 1t is called peculiar. y
Apolzer game i'll which six cards Were
dealt, discards and draws being SO reg
ulated that only five cards constituted
the final hand, has been known for some
time, but this is further development
Of that idea 1t is said to have Qriginat-
ed along the shores of Long Island. -

What Caesar Said.

A little girl lately asked her mother
how to pronounce Caesars famous la
comic utterance. 81 really don't know
what to tell yon,'' was the answer.
"When I studied Latin, we said 'Veni,
Vidi, yici,' exactly as it is spelled. 4
few years later they began to use what
was called the continental pronuncia=
ton and said 'Veene, veede, yeeke. :
Now I fancy your collegiate sister would
tell us that it was Weene, weede,
weeke. % The coilegian was appealed to
accordingly and announced: "No; there
is a later way still. We say, 'Wainee,
weedee, wechee, for the very latest. :"
AS Lowell complained in his old age,
who can pretend to keep up with the
gibberish into which the classics are be-
ing turned by modern teachers of them?

THEATER CURTAINS.
Costly Draperies That Are Used In Some o
the London Theaters.

| Few have any idea Of the money
spent by the managers of London thea
tiers in procuring the curtain which
hides the stage from public view, re-
marked we'll known theatrical fur
nisher to reporter Take, for instance,
the glorious curtain at Sir Henry Irv-
ing's theater, the Lyceum. That cur
tain, II it cost penny, cost at least
1000 guineas. I am told that 1000
yards Of beautiful blood red plush were
used to make it complete, and for it Sir
Henry Irving is indebted to the Baron
ess Burdett- Coutts, who some years ago
generously made him a present of the
curtain as tribute to his artistic gen
ius.
A very expensive curtain is that used
ut the Prince Of Wales theater, Coven-
try street, now occupied by Mr.. Arthur
Roberts. Its cost was about 5000. 1t is
made of boiler plate, is entirely fire
proof and weighs no less than six tons.
No fire can get from the stage to the
auditorium Oh vice versa, as the top and
bottom of the curtain respectively rest
against and upon solid wall Of brick
work. believe this, as we'll as other
curtains of the same kind, was the in
vention of Mr.. G. J. Phipps, the theat-
rical architect
Perhaps the most beautiful theater
curtain in London-where the finest
curtains in the world are to be seen
are those at the Lyceum, to which
have referred, the Palace Theater Of
Varieties, and the Savoy. The Palace
curtain is a real work Of art, and Mr..
D'Oyly Carte must have lavished a
small fortune upon its make. 1t is a
beautiful dream Of gold and various 9TH
er colored silks, and something like 600
square yards of silk were used in its
manufacture am told that the director
of the Paris Opera was almost thunder
struck when, during Mr.. Carte's produc
ton Of "Ivanhoe," he saw the curtain
for the first time.
The Savoy curtain must have cost
$500 if a penny, it's material being of
the finest gold plush. Another expen-
sive curtain was that bought by Mr..
Charles Wyndham for the Criterion. It
cost over e120, being made by Maple.
Most of the other London houses, and
probably all the country theaters, con-
tent themselves with the old fashioned
curtain of canvas, sometimes with a
scene and sometimes with imitation cur
tains painted upon it. The cost Of these
varies of course, and may run from $40
to 9200, according to the amount Of
work put into them and the artist ell
gagged to paint the scene.-London Tit

A Means of Disinfecting Wells.

Heavy rains are apt to contaminate

Of disinfecting wells, which he employs

in the mouth of the well an earthenware
dish containing SO to 100 grams Ga

which, being volatile i'll air, forms a
dense yapor that fills the we'll, and is

THEY WON THE RAISE,
The Directors Were Satisfied That Their
Claim Was just.

The Directors Were Satisfied That Their
Claim Was just.
Once when the miners Of a big nthra-
receiving increased pay an effort was
made to induce the local officials i'll the
mining country to make such repre-
sentations to the president of the COM
pany as would produce the desired ef~
feet. This was unavailing, however, and
efforts in other directions were tried,
until the directors offered to meet a
delegation of the miners in New York
city and discuss the situation. A dozen
of the brawniest miners in the region
were selected as dele gates-great rugged
men, who would certainly make ia;
vorable impression. The men met the
officials and stated their case, which
was that at the prevailing rate Of wages
they could hardly get enough to eat.
The matter was held under advise
ment, and the conference adjourned to
LUNCHEON. Then came the most amazing
display of appetites that has ever been
seen before or since, and the eolored
walters turned pale as they saw dish
intended for the entire party retained
by one man, who speedily made away
with the contents. Each man seemed as
ravenous as though he had not eaten for
9 week, and the caterer was at his wits
ends to provide for them ali.
At last, when every portion had been
eaten and all seemed inclined for more,
giant whose native place was South
Wales cried out: "Don't you worry
about no more fancy things. Bring us
4 cheese, and we'll make out All right y
A cheese was procured, and the directors
gazed with awe as it speedily disap~
peared. As the last crumbs were disap-
pearing the officials held hurried con-
sultation, and after awhile the president
announced: Gentlemen, we have decid-
ed to concede your claims to an aehlyancp
of 10 per cent, for we are certain thaS
at present you can scarcely get enough
20 eat. Nothing but this pleasurable
meeting could SO fully have convinced

A SWEET YOUNG FACE.

Along the noisy city ways
And in this rafting city car,
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and lar.
When suddenly a young, sweet face
Looked on my petulance and pain
And lent it something of its grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My neighbors just as cold within,
And truth was Just as full of doubt,
The world was just as full of sin.
But in the light of that young smile
The world grew pure, the heart grew
warm,
And sunshine cleaned little while
Across the darkness of the storm.

simultaneously with the adj djournment
OF congress came the announcement of
the proposed formation of "silver
party" political organization whose
chief plank should be action in regard t.
the use of silver as coined money. Per,
haps at this time few political
facts in regard to silver may be of inter
est. Like gold. silver is almost universal,
ly ditfused throughout nature. 1t is
computed that the waters of the ocean
centain silver to the value of ten thou.
sand millions of dollars. Unlike gold
however, silver when freed from the
rocks where it is buried, is driven into
new combinations by the elements, OF
even dissipated and lost. Hence
there is no silver "pIacer''
mining, but it has to be
conducted by eubterranean digging. and
the operations are expensive. Careful
experts have concluded that gold and
silver have cost all they are worth in
actual labor, and it is d matter Of some
