TwIce-a-week Republic.

To be kept thoroughly well posted
on the news of such an eventful year
as 1896 promises to be, a person
should read the columns of a live,
wideawake metropolitan paper be-
sides the country or local newspaper.
Now is the proper time to begin a
yearly subscription, which will cover
the presidential campaign, the great
speeches, the November election and
the outcome of ali the wars and
troubles abroad. If intending sub
scribers will heed a word of advice
they will send 81 to the Twice a
Week Republic. They will receive
in return twice every week for a
year q copy OF the spiciest, newsiest
and most entertaining newspaper in
the country. The TwIce-a-W Week Re
public will make n specially of Civ
ing ali the political news and speeches
on both sides and at the same time
keep up the very entertaining de-
partment it has always contained.
a big induccment is offered to
those VINO become so interested that
only a daily metropolitan viii meet
their wants. The daily and Sunday
Republic has been reduced to only
S6 year or 50 for six months.

Economy Was His Hobby.

SOUTH MCALEsTER, /. T., March
ga post Office inspector reports
that in the year 1894 a letter was
sent from Norman to Wetumka, l.
t., and only recently the letter was
returned to the writer. 1t seems that
the postmaster was appointed under
the Harrison administration, and
when the change came no one wanted
the office, SO the old appointee was
retained. The old gentleman was a
shrewd business man, and economy
was his hobby. That characteristic
got him into trouble. Along in the
early part of 1894 a letter was sent
from Norman to Wetumka, and as
time rolled on nothing more was
heard from it. 1t so happened that
people in the vicinity of Wetumka
would write letters and never get
answers. This was borne for a year
or two, but finally the people got
tired of it and demanded and inves-
tigation. The pcst Office inspector
came, went through the office, and
found a sack nearly full of letters,
the accumulation of about three
years.
When asked why he didn't send
the letters off, he replied that it was
foolishness to put the government to
the expense of making a trip for just
that little hurdle. He thought he
would wait until the sack was full,
before sending it off. The inspector
went through the mail and returned
it to the writer's, and last week, af-
ter two years, one of the writer's got
a letter he had written to a client in
1894.

Costly Perfumes,

Only dealers in precious stones carry
more valuable stock in small space than
the dealers In essential oils and the per-
fumes that go with such oils. One dealer
showed an acquaintance moderate sized
safe containing stock valued at G25, 900.
Altar of roses, musk, civet and ambergris
are among the precious articles of such a
dealers stock. Altar of roses wholesale
sells at about 80 shillings an ounce, civet
at rs shillings an ounce, ambergris at ee
and musk at e8. The retail price of all
these is much greater, but they are usually
sold to the SO called consumer in highly di-
luted form.
Musk in the raw looks deal like axle
grease and smells worse. The popular
notion that the musk of commerce is OBJ
tanned from the muskrat is a mistake. A
somewhat similar perfume is obtained
from the muskrat, but most of the supply
comes from the musk deer, creature that
is carefully reared in India for the sake OF
the secretion. The secretion is shipped
in the crude state, and is used not only in
the manufacture of the liquid perfume
sold as musk but also in very small guam
titles to give strength and staying power
to many perfumes made from the essential
oils of flowers. Pearson Weekly.

Mrs. ROxana Crane Loses Her Life.

Roxana Crane, a lady over 81 years of
age the widow of the late Calvin Crane.

The old lady has been confined to er
room for several weeks by illn ess. Sat
urday evening she got out of bed for
something and accidentally knocked over
lamp which stood near by, breaking
it. The oil took fire and communicated
to her night robe and the room was
soon in a blaze. Her cries for help were
responded to by the members of the fam
lily who, with the aid of the neighbors
at last succeeded in putting out the fire
without the aid of the fire department
physician was hastily summoned. He
found that the burns had been confined
mainly to her limbs and head. She was
maie as comfortable as possible, but
died Sunday from the effects of her in
juries and the shock.

A CONFIRMED THIEF.
Archibald Mclean Sent to the Reform
School.

Some days ago Archibald Mclean, a
pupil at the jackson school, was fogged
SO severely by his father that the hoy

An Exciting Runaway.

An unusually quiet section of Portland
had an exciting experience yesterday
afternoon about $50, and for few
moments matters assumed an alarming
aspect.
The excitement was caused by runa-
way horse attachedIto one of Sargent and
Dennison's coal teams. The driver of
the team had been discharging his load
of coal on Congress street, near North
street and bad nearly completed his task
as an electric car WAS passing. The
noise scared his horse and the animal I'M
mediately made bolt. down Congress
street. The portion of the coal left in the
team at theItime that the horse started
on his wild career, was scattered about
the street. When near Washington
street the horse came near colliding with
an express team driven by Mr.. Eugene
Halett. The runaway then changed his
course to the right hand side of the
street, when the rear wheels of the team
came in contact with the wheel Of a
wagon containing groceries. Three
young men were seated in the wagon
and were all thrown to the pavements.
One of the shafts of the wagon and a
portion of the spokes of the forward
wheel were broken but the young men
escaped unframed with the exception OF
some slight bruises and severe shaking
up.
The runaway again crossed the street
and in doing So the team came in con-
tact with horse and Jigger owned by
Mr.. Daley of Munjoy hill. Mr.. DALEY g
horse was thrown and both shafts of the
jgger broken. The runaway was then
stopped and held. Several persons had
narrow escapes in crossing the streets at
this time, but no personal accidents o.
CURED and no great amount of damage
done.

Rev. B. Fay Mills, the great evangelist
will deliver his lecture on the "MiIk of
Human Kindness, at City Hall. Friday
night, Tor the Young Women's Christian
Association. Mr.. Mills made many
friends in Portland when he was last
here. Speaking of his lecture the Column
bus, o., Press says:
Many ministers were there to hear by
W b at magic OF words tho the noted evan
gelist draws crowds and convinees people
of the misery of their liveszand the selfish
ness of their example. Doctors and law
yers, editnrssand merchants, 'nilliners and
dressm az ers, and other men and women
of every calling and employment were
humanity, moved by various motives.
There is no doubt that the eminent di-
vine met expectations, and on higher
plane than most of his auditors expect
ed. He is beyond doubt an intel
lectual man of tender sensibillties, and
he mingles these qualities in his dis
course in pleasing proportions.
There can be no doubt of the sanity and
high standard of his teaching. His words,
like rosemary, are for remembrance.
No diviner voice has ever been heard
in the wilderness of this community, call
ing men and women to nobler, juster
lives. His clear voice is sounding the
key that would make a joyful. helpful
chorus, II the world would Join 10 with
it. Mr.. Mills is not only preach.
