Elk Councilman Oscar Betteridge was
going around town yesterday carrying in
his hand ten dollar gold piece which he
was willing to wager in support OF y
statement that the new Borough Council
will be organized with Democratic influ.
ence. He did not disclose the reasons
for his belief, and it may have been one Of
his little jokes. 1t is hoped it was. None
of the Citizens party who will take seats
in the next Council can afford to make a
break, or do anything that will bring one
about. A glance over the list of political
barters of the past affords no encourage
ment for people who may feel inclined
to sell their party. The experience of the
barterer has been that for few weeks or
months he has been able to enjoy the
spoils and face the scorn and contempt
of his fellowmen, but nature ultimately
asserts itself and the culprit then goes
down, down, down until he finds himself
o,tracized-scorned by the party he be
trayed and pitied by the party he as
sisted.

This is one of the latest pieces of
society gossip: Some weeks ago a man
called at a residence in town and placed
an electric bell on the front door. He
informed tn 3 occupants that the bell had
been paid fns and went away. AS no one
in the family mad ordered, or paid for,
the appliance the affair was looked upon
as mysterious. Eventually young man
who was paying attention to one
OF the young ladies of the household,
cleared the mystery by saying that free
quent rapping upon the front door hal
brought corns upon his knuckles and he
ordered the bell as Christmas present
In some unknown manner a dealer in
electrical appliances who does business in
a small place not far from Shenandoah,
heard of this case and, concluding that
be could be a source of relief to other
young men with tender affection and sore
knuckl les, made a tour of this town to locate
houses not supplied with electric bells. He
picked out one occupied by we'l-to do
family having daughter who is receiv
ing the attentions of a gentleman who
cannot afford to have corns on his
| knuckles. A man was sent to put up the
/ bell but was told that none had been
ordered and he went away, He returned,
however, and, after stating that the bell
had been ordered, put it up. No one in
this family ordered the bell Since that
time the young man who pays attentions
| to the daughter has received a bill from
the electrical dealer, but he, too repudi-
ates any knowledge of the transaction,
and the only explanation the dealer gives
| is that he thought the same rule should
work in all cases. I5 is only proper to say
that the family and the young man
interested are by no means pleased with

GREAT AMERICAN RESIGNER.
An Expert Bank Accountant Who Takes
 Frequent Vacation Spells.


 Frequent Vacation Spells.
 Living in a fashionable town within committing distance of New York is a gentleman who invariably attracts at tention by his long hair, Strangers ai- ways conclude that he is nothing less than Q great lawyer or bank president. When a reporter fer the Commercial Advertiser asked his fallow-townsmen about him he was told the following story: One day the gentleman, who is one of the best accountants in the metropolis. stepped up to the president of the bank by which he is employed and said he had decided to resign, and that the resignation must go into eff feet immediately. The president was 10th t. lose so valuable 6 man and urged him to reconsider the matter He talked with him for an hour, but to no purpose. The employe, whose skill as a mathematician was beyond any thing ever met with by the officials of the bank, has bound to leave the in. stitution, but ,osolutely refused to give any reason for doing so. The ac- countant left that day and the bank was obliged to get along as best it could without him. Ten days later the cashier was aStonished on entering the bank to find the accountant hard at work at his old desk. The mathema- tician said good morning, just as he had done every day for years before he resigned but offered no explanation. The president and cashier let their strange acting employe keep at his work and ask no questions. Three months later the accountant went into the presidents office again and ten dered his resignation. It was accept ed and the man was absent for week or more. Then he suddenly returned The same thing was repeated again and again. Now it is a standing joke in that bank that the accountant has resigned. It is his way of taking vacation. He never stays away more than two weeks.

tion.

The newest of western mining camps, the Cochiti camp, in New Mexico, lies near the ancient Indian village of that name on the west bank of the Rio Grande, southwest from Santa Fe. The mines lie in lodges which cross at right angles the walls of three can yons, the Cochiti, the Pino and the Peralta. Some of the ores already taken out there are very rich, and, if the claims as to their abundance are verified in the continued working, Cochiti will prove one of the great gold-bearing districts of the United States. At the mouth Of the Pino, the central canyon of the three, the hum ming, brand-new town of Allerton is situated. Two smaller town sites, Kent City and Eagle, have been laid off, about six miles to the east and to the west, respectively. A few frame and more log houses are interspersed among the tents which constitute the greater part of the residence and busi- ness structures of the camp, in which about two thousand people abide. Saloons and gambling and dance houses are plentiful and busy, and even the ''old timer" with memories of Dead wood and Leadville, admits that the Cochiti has generally the symptoms of a booming camp.

SICNALING BY WAFER
The Method of Transmitting Sounds Sue
 CessfUIly Tested in England.

Qs
 4 very interesting test of a new method of signaling through water ha. been made in England, says the Pitts
 burgh Dspatch. The system is the in. vention of Capt. Neale. and is in tended for the exchange ot messages and the carrying on of conversation between ships on the sea or on rivers. whether moving or stationary, or be- tween ships or lighthouses and har- bors. forts or piers on the shore. Com, lnunication is effected without any connection whatever between the two objects, except the body of water on which the ships float or the lighthouse stands the water being the sole medium through which the message is trans. mitted.
 The system utilizes a well known law of acoustics. If musical note in q given key be sounded an object ca pablo of emitting sound in the same key will, under certain conditions, synapathetically respond with a sound similar to that which induced it, it being, of coure, a primary condition that the two objects shall be nominally tuned to unison. Capt. Neale's in vention is based on this principle, utilizing the high conductivity of water for the transmission of sound. In the recent test the apparatus was mounted on two punts, moored about tUo-tlirds Of a mile apart, and carry ing a transmitter and receiver respec- lively. The transnitter consists of bell about sixteen inches in diameter attached to the lower end of fram' ing, which is fixed in the side of the punt, at the upper end of which is crank handle. This handle, worked from the punt, actuates a double-beat hammer. which strikes and sounds 3 bell submerged about six feet.
 The Morse code is employed, quar- ter turn C.e the handle being given for the dots of the code and a whole revo- lution for the dashes. The receiving apparatus consists of pair of metallic drums, about ten inches in diameter. open at one end and fixed mouth to mouth, upon a piece of board placed between them. These drums, suspend ed in the water, are connected up with a small battery, and through it with tape-recording instrument. Messages were correctly transmitted and re- corded. The speed of operating was somewhat slow, as the signaling had to be carried on by hand instead of electricity, which will shortly be util- ized. The trial, however, was most successful and is said to have dem onstratcd the practical character of the invention and the correctness of the principles upon which it is based,

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
 Insects,

Insects.
 As we all know, there are day-bloom- ing and night-blooming flowers, says the Cornhill Magazine. The former lay themselves out for the fertilizing visits of bees and butterflies; they are generally deckcd in red, blue, vel low or purple, and have often lines, spots or markings on their petals which point to the nectaries and so act as honey guides. The night-blooming flowers, on the other hand, lay them selves out for the visits of moths or other crepuscular insects, and therefore have recourse to something like the tactics of the frcGies and the glow-worms They are usually pure white and the petals are often of such peculiar tex ture that they seem to glow with in- ternal light in the dim shades of even- ing. At times one might almost fancy they were stained by nature with some curious forerunner of luminous paint, so strongly do they reflect every invisible ray of the faint twilight. They thus succeed in catching the eyes of moths, which, of course. are es- pecially modified for receiving and per- ceivinC the slender stimulus of dusk and the gloaning.
 But the nocturnal flowers have no lines or spots, because these last could never be perceived in the gray gloom of evening. They make up for it, how ever, by being heavily scented; indeed, almost all the strong white flowers, like jessamine, tuberose, gardenia, cercus and syringa, which are such favOritcs with florists, belong to night-blooming plants, specially adapted to attract the eyes and noses of night1ying insects.
