Paper Cable. Under Water.

For many purposes paper, next to
wire, is an excellent insulation, and it
has of late come extensively into use in
telephone aud other cables. But it is
not generally known that such an insu-
lation has been tried under water. This
is, however, the fact, and one such cable
is now doing excellent work at the bot
tom of the Hudson river at New York,
right in the track of all the domestic and
seabound traffic. OF course the cable is
lead covered and otherwise protected, but
it depends for its insulation, electrical
~, ON thin spirals of paper around each
stranded interior wire. The laying Of
such cable in such place might. a
few years ago, have been considered lit
tie short of.suicidal, but experience has
demonstrated the perfect practicability
of the scheme. In considering the lay
ing of such cables in such situations the
fact is important that 100 pair, paper
insulated, lead covered cable can be
bought for 80 cents foot, while the
rubber insulated cable would probably
cost not less than SO per foot, while,
figured on the basis of equal electrical
effectiveness, the price would be so or
100 to l in favor of the paper cable.
other considerations left out.-Cincin-

a Business Partnership That Has Been En-
tircIy Satisfactory.

a Business Partnership That Has Been En-
tircIy Satisfactory.
There is an up town business firm
one Of the members of which is an Irish
man and the other jew. The Irish
man was born in Cork and the jew in
Cracow. They have been in partnership
for several years, during which they
have built up a fiourishing business
The Irishman is beardless; the jew has
q flowing black beard. The Irishman is
Of tho type of Rory O'Moore; the jew
is of the type of Moses.
They are a mutual admiration pair,
and each has a solid respect for the
other. The Irishman is a rare wit; the
Jew is solemn as the Talmud. The Irish
man has q fine Corkonian brogua; the
native speech of the jew is the Polish
jargon, which he mixes with his Eng
lish.
The Irishman looks after the firm 8
finances; the jew attends to the buying
and selling The Irishman is strict
Catholic and goes TO church ON Sun
day; the jew is vigorously orthodox
and goes to synagogue on Saturday.
The Irishman is "pudgy;" the Jew is
lean. They agreed never to talk upon
religion, about which they disagree;
but, as the one is bimetallic Democrat
and the other Democratic monometaI-
list, they can always find a subject for
friendly argument.
The Irishman is older than the jew,
but the jew is taller than the Irishman.
Both the Irishman and the jew have
large families, and the children of both
attend the same school. Most of the off,
spring of the Irishman are girls, and
most of those of the jew are boys.
The favorite tipple of the Irishman is
ale, and that of the jew is wine. The
Irishman is quick tempered; the Jew is
slow to wrath. These two business part
ners, one of them from Cork and the
other from Cracow, have carried on
their establishment successfully for
years in this city. have divided the
profits evenly every quarter, have never
had q quarrel that lasted more than q
minute and have made enough money
to raise them above the cares of life.
Surely they deserve to grow rich. New

And crown him master q his own

The trembling secret to lie won
From every running stream. all these
Are his. yet force him silent 70 his knees.
The watcher shall possess the earth
In silence. leaping to control
In moments mighty with the birth

Shall wholly bind him to the whole.

Accident at the t,anitol.

Quite a catastrophe occurred in the
state library at the capitol late this aft
ernoon, the whole of the shelving on one
side giving way, and precipitating hun
dreds of volumes of books to the floor.
The shelving was about twenty feet in
length, and in rows to a height Of per-
haps twelve or fifteen feet, and the whole
case came down with a crash which.
startled the occupants of the entire
building. Miss Kittie Gray was in the
library at the time, and first noticed the
topping Of the shelves and ran for the
door, barely escaping the fall of the
books. The accident was, no doubt,
caused by the too insecure support for
the heavy weight of books upon the
shelves. AS it is, the accident will
neceesitate new shelving, but beyond
this there is not much actual damage,
except that which was suffered by the
books in the fall.

Reversed,

The personal injury suit of George A.
Bennett against the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, which was decided in
favor Of the plaintiff and damages award
ed by a jury at the last term of the dis
trict court in Jamestown, has been re-
versed by the supreme court. The judy
ment is reversed because of an error in
charging the jury that liability of defend
ant depended solely upon freedom of
plaintiff from contributory negligence
the defendants negligence not being es-
tablished by the evidence as a matter of
law. The suit has been tried three times
in the district, and three times in the
state supreme court, and is now
sent back for it's fourth appearance be-
fore the district court.

The County Fair,


Next Monday night the much-talked-
about "County Fair" which has SO far
rivaled "The Old Homestead in New
York and the East, will be presented
here for the first time at the Atheneum.
For many years Neil Burgess believed he
had a fortune IN a patent arrangement
fol. representing a h%orse-race on the
stage. He worked it for a long time
with n horse with good success, but it
is only a couple Of years ago he managed
to elaborate it SO as to suit any number
of horses. It is now complete, and it
has been q prominent feature Of the
"The County Fair" in which a horse
race is run with every appearance Of
realism, even to the changing scene. It
is not all of the play, however. "The
County Fair" Is a homely picture of life,
full of fun and character. The central
part is Abigail Prue, which Mr.. Burgess
plays, and which will be taken here by
Marie Bates, a capable actress. The
story is simple, pleasant aad probable.
1t furnishes a glimpse, and a prolonged
one, of rural life. Miss Abigail Prue is
prim, prudish and practical, ind it is her
home that r as the scene Of the
story. Life there is tranquil and happy,
but IS withal just a little clouded, owing
to the fact that the place is m%ortgaged
to the tune Of nearly two thousand dol
lars, and there is seemingly no prospect
of raising that amount. Cold Molasses,
Miss Prue's 4-year-old colt, without her
knowledge, is entered for a race at the
county fair, wins the race, the owner in
consequence secures three thousand
dollars, which is more than is needed to
pay off the mortgage, and all hands are
made happy. There are numerous char
acters woven into this plot, and the
charm of rural life is said to be as we'll
reproduced as in Denman Thompson's
play. The company is a good one, and
the piece will be completely mounted.
The machinery for the race scene itself is
costly and elaborate, although the audi.
