The Race Postponed.

Poughkeepsie, N. ". June 21.--The
boat race between Cornalh Columbia
and University of Pennsylvania has been
postponed until Monday evening, be-
cause of an accident to Pennsylvania S

Shortly before the time to start the
Pennsylvania shell was lying alongside

from one of the revenue cutters which
was passing close in, washed the shell
against the launch and smashed in the
side, making four holes. The only other
shell possessed by her was disabled
some time ago.

southern's Latest Scoop.

Atlanta, Ga, June 21.-The Southern
railway has bought the Atlanta and
Florida railroad. The line is 104 miles
long and extends from Atlanta to Fort
Valley, in the heart of the peach sec
tion. At the price paid, about $275, 900,
the Southern gets the road at about
one-half of what it has cost. The South
ern buys from the Central Trust COM
pany of New York. This deal nips sew
eral possible railway extension schemes
in the bud. 1t keeps the Seaboard Air
Line out of Florida and the Plant sys-
tenn out of Atlanta.

Rradstreet,s Review.


New York, June 21.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The feature of this
week is the customary check to activity
in trading in staple articles of merchan-
disc, due to the near approach
of midsummer, with the accompany
ing stock taking in some lines.
In addition to this perhaps the
other not pointing to improvement is
the reaction of prices of cotton, coal,
wheat, flour, corn, oats, pork and lard
from previous relatively high levels. In
almost all other directions reports on
the business situation and outlook are
exceptionally favorable. The New
York stock market keeps its strength
in the face of high exchange rates and
the absence of foreign interests.
Favorable crop prospects, especially in
the southwest territory, and the rise in
Dkn6u and steel prices, create a bullish
DSsional temper, under which realiz-
les have little effect. The return of

An Artist in Wax in vienna.

The Paris Debats relates an amusing
story from Vienna. NJ. Weigi, of that
city, is man of original mind, and has
long conceived that the vacuous gaze and
alien smile of the wax figures used in
fashion shops might be changed into sOrne-
thing higher and nobler. The said figures
are hcDccforth To possess n high educa-
tionai value. Inspired with this idea, he
abandoned the ''veteras cerae," or an
cient wakes of q primitive time, and copied
the features Of Nine. Ulka PaImaz and other
other leading artistcs. For NJ. weigi is
himself an artist in wax. This new form OF
realism took greatly, and the shops of
DouvcauteS were the center Of admiring
throDgs. But other celebrities began to
appear in other shops; the fashion mart
of Vienna was fast becoming n museum
OF famous men and women. ". weIgi
found that his great idea was being adopted
by a disioyal competitor, and he has there
fore caused this offender To appear before
the tribunal. to pay a heavy fine and
promise to destroy the plagiarized busts.
1t is a pity that this invention was not
introduced into England before the general
election. A portrait model of our success
ful member in gala dress would have been
great hit. and the defeated rival. clad
in crepe, would have made Il valuable fig-
ure for the funeral warehousc.-Pail Mall

in his favor was given. He did not re-

Sir Humphrey Davy's Strange Light.


Sir Humphrey was alone in his room one
evening, attired in a dressing gown and Il
nightcap constructed on the ancient conical
pattern with a tassel for the apex, OF which
l suppose hardly specimen could be found
In these degenerate days.
Suddenly he saw a mysterious light on
the ceiling of his room. for which he could
not account in any way. His scientific
zeal was aroused at once to discover the
cause; it must be a reflected light, per
baps from some celestial phenomenon in
the sky. He rushed to the window and
ooked out. but all was as usual in the
darkeDed heavens.
He extinguishcd the lamp, thinking that
It's flame might have become singularly
oolarized on the ceiling, but there was
no change in the circular light over his
head. except that it seemed growing bright
70 explain it, but in vain. The great man
VAS completely puzzled-he stood gazing
upward open-mouthed, while bis acute
brain was intept on the mystery.
Presently, however, he became aware
that the receptacle in which the wise brain
was inc!osed had a sensation OF unp!eas-
ant warmth. while an odor, apparently
due to the friZZling Of hair, was making
itself strongly felt. Involuntarily he
matched off his nightcap and then dis
covered that he had set fire to the tassel
thereof in bending over the lamp while
engaged in u experiment, and the strange
circle of light was at once explained, TO
his no small indigna nation.-Blac kwood's
