RESORT, located at LUDINGToN
ON LAKE MICHIGAN, will soon
be opened for the season of
1895. 1t is to be one of the
great features in the outings of
the League for this summer.
This ideal SUMMER RESORT
is far enough north to escape
the trying heat Of summer but
not so far north as to be sub

BULL FIGHT IN COLORADO.
1t Comes Off in Spite of the Governors
Protests.

1t Comes Off in Spite of the Governors
Protests.
DENVER, Col, Aug. Ex-Governor Nc
Intyre sat in his office and kept the wires
sizzling with messages imploring the Off
GERS of Cripple Creek to enforce the law
against cruelty to animals and stop the
second bull fight. All his invocations
were futile, for the sheriff was not present
and all pledges made with the chief execu-
tive were as straw in the wind. Six thous-
and people paid for admission, and the
fight went on with q few feeble interrupt
tions from the deputy who represented
Sheriff Bowers. Deputy Sterling made
several puerile attempts to enforce the law,
but the efforts were of such a farcical
character that they were to the crowd much
the same as the banderillos were to the
bulls, serving only to inflame them.
Two justices of the peace were held by
the management at the entrance of the
amphitheater, and as fast as the deputy
effected an arrest the justice would accept
bond. AS the appetites OF the crowd were
whetted by the delay there was n loud and
angry demand for tho show to proceed,
and the deputy, recognizing the folly of
and the fight was allowed to go ahead.
These delays sufficed to abbreviate the
''festa," for instead Of two or three bulls
as promised by the manager, the killing
was limited to one animal, and when
darkness fell the performance came to
premature end. A prize fight to a finish
was also on the programme, but that had
to go with other features 1t took pre-
cisely four minutes for the victim to re-
ceive the coup dc grace The animal,
after making a gallant fight for life, fell
prone to the ground amid silence that
was oppressive
Then a volley of applause rang out as
the bull, with blood squirting from mouth
and nostrils, staggered to his feet and
slowly struggled to reach the barrier
against which he leaned for support.
Gathering himself for n final effort, the
gallant animal tried tried to reach one Of
his tormentors, but fell before reaching
the matador. Rallying once more, the
bull dashed his sides and was about to
lunge Mt a prosecutor, when the toreadore
sprang lightly to his side and with aquick
twist delivered tho death wound that
snapped his spinal cord.
Governor Mcintyre is furious, and says
he gave orders for the sheriff to summon
the cavalry from Colorado Springs II he
was unable to swear in a posse sufficient
to stop the exhibition.
Chickamauga Plans Made.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Secretary La

SUPERsTITIoNs ABOUT FIRE
Where a fire burns upon the hearth
the German say that lightning never
strikes.
In Cambridge, England, there is a
curious belief to the effect that fire
started by lightning stroke can only
be quenched with milk.
In Devonshire if fire burns blue
and dead it is thought to be forerun-
ner of death or disaster in that house.
When a Russian family moves from
one house to another they always rake
all the fire from the hearth Of the old
domcile and carry it in closed pot
TO their new residence.
The Sicilians say that fire will not
burn man born on St. Paul's Day

burned upon that day the sore will
never heal, and will eventually cause
her death.

THE LAW STILL GOOD.-Governor
Evans this morning had long talk
with me about the dispensary situation,
and he says that it is all foolishness to
think that the dispensary law will go
under, even if the Interstate clause is
struck out of the law. 1t will not al
low the barkeepers to resume their
business, and it will not permit "blind
tigers" to be run by those who wish to
take the risk. As matter of fact it
is the intention Of the State to push
the fight against the "blind tigers"
more vigorously than ever, aud ifpossi-
BILE to get few penitentiary senten-
ces, and they think that this will have
most decided effect. Governor Evans
holds that under the law, as defined
by Judge Simonton, there must be
some one to decide whether the liquor
is for personal use of the party to
whom it is shipped, and the constables
will judge that matter until there is
some other construction.
Going on Governor Evans said !:
':Section 90 of the dispensary law will

Not only that, but they meant to use
the window upon which ! had fixed my

The low scraping sound which was
next heard was made by one of them
climbing the tree which grew so close
to the stone wall that some Of its
branches must have touched it. The
Asiatic intended to ascend to the win

even though the light showed that some
one was on the other side of the curtain.
From my position behind the oak saw
the figure of the man rising slowly to
sight as he climbed the trunk until his
head and shoulders were above the win
dow ledge. Then he braced himself
among the limbs and stood still. ltwas
easy for him to step across the interven-
ing space, but he was waiting for his
companion to join him.
The second head and shoulders rose
on the horizon Of my sight, and after
some shifting about the second secured
aposition beside the other. Then, steady
ing himself by grasping a projecting
limb above him, he placed his foot OH
the window ledge
His whole figure was now stamped
with ink against the dimly lit window

his arms, body and legs clearly showing

AT THE CRUClFIXION.
Planets In the Same Position This Spring
as When Christ Died.

Planets In the Same Position This Spring
as When Christ Died.
If some astronomical calculations
recently made may be believed, the
planets which gravtate around the
sun were last month, about Easter
time, in relatively the same posi-
tion in the heavens as they were in
the spring of 80. A. D., which is the
year when Jesus Christ is generally
supposed to have been crucified and to
have risen from the dead. Not since
that time has this coincidence occurred.
Each of the heavenly bodies has its
own time for making a revolution
around the sun, and these times differ
widely. The earth, as everybody
knows, goes around once every year.
Mercury takes but quarter of this
time, while Saturn is employed for
nearly 80 years in making a circuit Of
the path laid out for him. Conse-
quently, in all these hundreds of years,
they have never yet moved into the
same positions which they occupied in
the month of April, 20, A. D. Neither
are they expected by astronomers to be
in exactly the same position as they
were then, for the attraction of other
planets and of the sun has caused vari-
ations in their respective cycles during
the IS centuries.
1t is for this reason that the recur-
renee of a similar condition of the
skies possess no scientific interest to
the astronomer. But TO the millions of
Christian people all over the world it
is an important coincidence that they
should have seen during Holy Week of
this year, the heavenly bodies almost as
they were when Christ looked up to
them nightly in the rapid succession of
events which marked the fortnight pre-
ceding his cruci6xion.
That the last year which Christ
spent upon earth was really the year
90, A. D., is a question which is not
settled. 1t and each of the four years
succeeding it have been named by Bib
lical scholars who have compared the
chronology of events mentioned in the
New Testament, with the events as
given in Josephus and the best Roman
historians. Christ is supposed to have
been 33 years old when his life upon
this earth was ended. His crucifxion
occurs in the 33rd year of what is call
ed the Christian Era. But the Chris
tian Era was first invented by learn
ed monk called Dionysius Exiguus,
and it is now admitted that its invent
or made an error in his calculation of at
least four years, and that the birth of
Christ really occurred in the year
which is now called 4, B. C. This
would make 30, A. D., the most prob
able date for his cruci6xion, but the
Encyclopedia Britannica and number
of German scholars favor 80 A. D.,
and this would make Eastertide of next
year, and not this year, the date at
which the similar position of the planets
can be recalled .-Baltimore Sun.

They were not serpents, however, but

CURIOSITIES OF WORDS,
The vowels In Regular Order Are Rarely
Found.

The Vowels In Regular Order Are Rarely
Found.
From London Tid-Bits.
There are two words in the whole
range of the English language contain
ing all the vowels in their regular order
They are abstemious and facetious. The
following words each have them in ir-
regular order: Authoritative, disad-
vantageOus, encouraging, efficacious,
instantaneous, importunate, men,
dacious, nefarious, precarious, peril
nacious, sacrilegious, simultaneous,
tenacious, unintentional, Objectionable,
unequivocal, undiscoverable and vexa-
tious. A search through the dictionary
might bring several others to light. 1t
Is usually said that there are but seven
ninelettered monosyllable words in
English, viz: Scratched, stretched
scrunched, scranched. screeched
squelched and staunched. r
Here are some of the shortest SEN
tences into which the alphabet can be
compressed: -. Gray, pack with my
box five dozen quills," 33 letters.
"Quack, glad zephyr, watt my javelin-
box" 81 letters. ''Phiz, styX, wrong,
buck flame, quib," 26 letters. 81, quartz
pyz. who fling muck-beds," 26 letters.
Fritz, quick! land! hew gypsum box"
26 letters. "Dumpty quiz! whirl back
fogs next" 81 letters. export my
fund. Quiz black whigs," 26 letters.
Get nymph, quiz and brow, fix luck"
26 letters. In more sober English, the
last one would be, MARRY, be cheerful,
watch your business" These sentences
would make excellent writing copies,
for they secure attention to every letter,
and profitable exercises for learners Of
the typewriter as they take in all the
keys, and thus familiarize one readily
with all combinations. By changing
from capitals to lower case the value Of
the exercises is increased.
