Selling Daughters.

The Indian is uncouth in his ways,
but he has learned thing or two from
the white man. One near Tacoma has
tried to sell his daughters as the result
Of game Of chance, and of course the
east is duly shocked. Why? He has the
precedent Of society" cultivated" So
oiety. Daughters are sold almost every
day in New York and Europe, and even
In Chicago. The Indian, having lost all
he had gambling, offered his daughter
for $50, with which he hoped to be able
to recoup his losses 1t is often the same
with the man Of civilization. He loses
all ne has in speculation and immedi-
ately looks around to see who will give
the most for his daughter. She goes to
the highest bidder and he goes back to
speculation. What is the difference be-
tween the two cases? Nothing, except
that the Indian offered his daughter for
less money. Chicago Post.

A marriage in the inky darkness of {

but that is tho sort Of wedding thai
occurred in the courthouse the Other
morning
About II o'clock a fine lookine
young man and two decidedly GOOD
looking and stylishly dressed young
women entered the recorder of deeds
Office and asked for marriage license,
and one was issued to William Dray
and Viola Roderick. They said that the
marriage was to be surprise and re-

tAat wedding was to OCCUR and the
room was filled with unlimited guests
The groom did not relish this; neither

to the large vault where the records are

PARTY entered the vault It was bril-

odor OF musty records. The bride

sWeetly. The groom, evidently a brave
man, was not as nervous as the Justice,

paper upon which he had written the
words OF simple marriage ceremony.
The door was shut softly behind the
party, and the wedding was screened
from curious eyes.
The Justice was getting along fairly

the ceremony where he asked the cou-
pie to join hands when something hap
pened. One Of the clerks had slipped to
the switchboard and turned off the
lights in the vault Every thing was as
black as darkest midnight. The bride
and groom could not see each other. The
Justice could not see them. 1t was no
time to stop to falter, however.

a Beautiful Tale of Three Women who
Barred Their Heads at the Theater.
Three ladies walked down the center
aisle in the National theater Monday
night: They wore hats-hats of a florid
style of architecture and covered with
luxurlant vegetation. Strong men shud-
dered and grew pale with anxiety as to
where those hats would eventually To-
cate themselves, and as the ladies slow
ly moved to the front the feelings Of the
audience verged upon the stormy and
tumultuous. At last they wero seated

The misery caused by the severity of
the weather throughout Great Britain

Even we'll to do Londoners have been
compelled to endure extraordinary an
noyances. The gas and water pipes of
the city are laid only2 to ~ feet deep,
which is beyond the reach Of all ordi
nary frost. This time the icy visitor
did not relax his hold till he had closed
nearly half of them. Fully third of
the street lights failed to burn for a
whole week, and almost half of the
householders of London were obliged to
get their water supply from the stand

throughout the metropolis.
The departing frost left worse evil

demic. If private inquiries furnish an
accurate indication of its extent then
fully 10 per cent Of the population have
been stricken. Its type is severe, but
not SO persistent as five years ago. The

THE NEW WOMAN IN GEORGIA
She Cycled Through the Streets of A tlanta
and Horrified the Natives

sne Cycled Through the Streets of tlanta
and Horrified the Natives.
A few days ago, before the snow
came, there was an amusing little hap
penlng on one of the principal streets Of
the city which bears relating. Two men
from away up in North Georgia who
chanced to be down here attending the
United States court as witnesses in some
moonshine cases were walking along
talking enthusiastically about proposi
tlon to go in and get an oyster stew for
dinner. The matter of dispute seemed
to be as to who should pay for the stews.
Ihey were somewhat excited and paw
ing little attention to the rest of the
world when all of sudden a woman
on bicycle swept up behind them very
close to their backs and gave the bell
OF her wheel sharp whirl of a ring.
Whoop! Don't do that again!''
screamed one Of them, and they both
shot away up in the air and landed many
feet away.
Turning around, they saw the lady
dashing on down the street, unconcern-
edly bobbing up sercnely over the Bel
gian block.

the visitors to the other, "hit's one Nv

Two hundred and sixty nine passenger
trains are sent out of the Union station
of the Boston & Maine between 6 O'Clock
in the morning and 1875 at night OF
every day in the week except Sunday.
OF course, there must be quite as many
as that coming in, hence the 'leaves'
and the "arrivals" really amount to 53S

average four or five cars each, and as
these are nearly always quite full 1t is

numbers are handled" every week day

are all well handled.

HORSE GOSSIP.

Ham Brock drove the gray PAGER Bar
nev to beat the track record at Nashua
last week Thursday and did it easily. Mel
son made the mile there in '93 in 2 1412,
Barney went the mile handsomely and
came in amid the cheers of the crowd
The time was: Quarter, SO; half, 1.05
three-quarters, 1874; mile, 2.12M.
This Mr.. Brock stated, was the record
of Gil Curry on the mile track at Dover
last fall.
Frank Carr's Mamie O. was in a hot
race at Nashua the same day and before
the seven heats were trotted made it
exceedingly interesting for the winning
horse. The first heat was made in the
fast time of 2.15h and she came very
near being distanced. In the fifth heat
she crept up to first place, making the
mile in 2,2514. She won the next heat in
2.27, and lost the seventh heat by a
neck, Resolute winning the heat and race.

A BIG ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.

Mention is made elsewhere in this pap
err of the electric light plant which A. b.
Moves & Co, have just put in at Hotel
Look off in Lisbon, N. II. AS this is one
of the largest electric light plants in the
White Mountains our readers will be
interested in a more extended desc1ip-
ton.
The electricity is produced by Sleeper
DYNAMO made at the machine shop OF A.
b. Moves & Co., under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Sleeper, the inventor,
c. Z. Bacon having charge OF the me-
chanicaI construction. 1t has capacity
for5OO incandescent lights and 400 mean
descents and 16 arcs are now in daily
use. Every room in the hotel has an
electric light and row of lights extend
around the broad piazzas OF the hotel
and about so more are used to display
the big sign in front. The spring house
is brilliantly lit and the cottage and
barn have also been wired. The arc cir
cult includes eight inside lights and eight
more around the grounds. The arc
lights are 1900 candle power and reflect
for miles around The wires are con-
ceaed on the first floor and the whole
hotel is wired heavily enough to allow
for any additions. A large wire is taken
to the top of the building to allow for
search light if that should seem advs-
able. The electric plant was put in by
E. L. Cady, young electrician well
remembered in this town, and the state
inspector has pronounced the wiring the
finest Job in the state. Higher praise
could hardly be given.
The power for the dynamo is furnished
by 80 horse power Watertown engine.
This is an automatic, high speed machine
having $50 revolutions a minute. 60
horse power Watertown boiler furnishes
steam for the engine and heat for the
hotel. The Warren Webster vacuum sys-
TEN is used in heating the hotel. All the
machinery at the plant and all the
plumbing was put in under the direction
of Charles F. Mann, who is an expert in
all work of this kind.
Besides the electric light plant two cleo
trio motors will be used at the hotel.
three horse power motor will be placed
in the bottling works at the spring tc
run the carbonator and five horse
power motor will be used at the windmill
for pumping water. Power for boil
these motors will be furnished from tn
dynamo.

lar hotel is a passenger elevator whicl
