past week. Friday they left for Newport,
where they will visit relatives. They will
be IN San Francisco some time in NoYem-

Two well-known Californians have made
a tremendous bet on the coming election; !;
the money has been put up, so there is no
sneaking out of it. The wager is four to
one that Mckinley will be elected by an
overwhelming majority. The Bryan man
has put up his $4,000, and you can easily
count the $4,000 the Mckinley man has
ventured. They don't want their names
known, but as soon as the election is over
it will be quite proper to tell who wins.
Nous verronsl Hurrying down Broad
way the other morning. l met Lawrence
Archer Jr., the son of the well-known
lawyer, Judge Lawrence Archer of San
Jose. Mr.. Archer has been in New York
over year, and in that time has made
quite record for himself. He has writ
ten number of poems and stories, which
have found their way into the best New
York dailies. Though he is regularly en-
ployed in the Metropolitan Telephone
Company, he spends all the time he can
in writing. He is very ambitious, and his
fathers son should haVe no trouble in
meeting success.
There is one man in New York who
thinks .he West is the only place on earth.
That man is w. Brassey, young attor-
ney, formerly of the firm of LAWYERS,
Galpin & Ziegler. He came to New York
expecting TO enter the practice of law, but
illness and disappointment have caused
him to regret having ever ventured so far
from home, and he busles himself during
the autumn days visiting his old Califor-
MIA friends and telling them what a queer

but tarried a short time only. He hastened
on to Boston, where he will inspect the
harbor and attend to a number of i'm

again on Saturday or Sunday.
Hon. Eugene B. Braden, Superintendent
of the United States Branch Mint at
Helena, Mont, after soiourning in town
for about ten days left on Thursday for
Washington, where he expected to be de-
tanned day or TWO before continuing his
journey homeward. Hon. E. B. Braden
has many friends in California, having
been for several years connected with the
Southern Pacific Railroad Office at San
Francisco, and afterward occupying the
Office of general agent of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad. Last Wednesday
his mother, Mrs. NJ. B. Braden, and sister,
Mrs. William c. Riddell, left for Europe,
where they will spend the winter. Mr..

so positively interesting for many moons
as it did yesterday when the First Brigade,
New York National Guard, marched down
the uneven thoroughfare to the beautiful
white marble arch in Washington square.
Thousands of handsomely gowned women
stood on the sidewalks and filled the win
dows of every residence along the line.
When the different crack regiments of the
First Brigade proudly swung by, there
were gay smiles to greet them and ap-
plause to tell them their gold braid and
buttons, their dark, helmets and waving
piumes were fully appreciated. The Mayor
reviewed the brigade from q red-draped
p latform in front of the grand stand.
For hours after the review was over the
avenue was made gay with the glimpse of
passing stragglers from the different regi-
ments-and the women! Well, even the
blase New York women cannot restrain
the feminine instinct to gaze on and ap-
plaud such manliness, especially when it
is covered with broadcloth, long gold cords
and brass buttons.
The mounted cavalrymen and their
gorgeous trappings recalled to mind
cute little story of which Colonel Isaac
Trumbo was the blushing hero. He had
been attending some public demonstra-
tion IN full regimentals, and on the way
home decided to call on some friends at
the Palace Hotel. He followed his card
up and was met at the door by fluffy
headed little girl of about four summers.
.Where IS your papa?" beamingly asked
the colonel.
Without word, the youngster ran back
to her father, her eyes filled with alarm.
WHO is it, dear?'' asked he. She gave a
little gasp and said, II don't know, papa,
but think it's Godp'

Potter G.. Sullivan has been induced to
dress himselfup in store clothes, put on a
boiled shirt and collar, and even to have
his picture taken. Potter G. Sullivan is
the Republican candidate for Governor
of the State OF Washington, and it is this
circumstance, together with the pressure
brought upon him by his friends, that has
led Mr.. Sullivan to give come attention to
his personal appearance. The thing never
happened but once before, and that was
not long ago, so that the present tracta-
bility of Mr.. Sullivan may be an evidence
of the satisfactory workings of the first at
tempt. When Sullivan was chosen as a
delegate to the st. Louis convention, and
was about TO start East in suit of clothes
that had not been so much as busted for a
year, the front binding of which was
badly worn, and from the trousers of
which hung some two inches of fringe.
his immediate friends held caucus and
decided that something must be done.
Acting in body, they conducted Sulli-
van to clothing-store and bought him
two suits-a dress suit and another-and
laid strict injunctions on him as to how
and where to wear them.
At st. Louis, of course, the fact that Mr.
Sullivan was wearing new suit attracted
. little attention, and when he got back to
Washington the suit was no longer new
so the incident passed. But now. travel
: ing about from town to town among people
every one of wnom knows him or knew
him, it is very different. His appearance
has created a sensation in Washington pol
itics and his enemies are trying to use the
changed conditions to his hurt. But they
will not succeed. ''Charley" Sullivan has
a hold upon the affections of the people OF
his State that.any change of clothes that
be may make will not affect.
Potter Charles, known in Washington
from Okanogan to Bakers Bay as "Char-
ley" Sullivan is an altogether unique
character in Northwestern politics. A few
years ago, by dint of reading law In the of
hours of bis labor as a printer, he bios
somed out as a practicing attorney in one
of the sagebrush towns of Eastern Wash
ington. 1t was quite natural that when
the young man began 20 think of what he
was TO be when he grew up his thoughts
turned to law, for he was the son of an
eminent criminal lawyer of Washington
and his elder brother was already big in
the profession-is now Superior Judge in

uonal murder case is part of the history

A sleigh riding party of about 80 people
went to Newfane last evening. Supper
was served at Pratt's inn, and afterward
dancing and cards were in order. The
night was perfect for such an outing, and
it was greatly enjoyed. The party was
gotten up because of the visit here of Prin-
cipal and Mrs j. ID. Horne of Lawrence,
Mass.
Mrs. Nora Tuhill, while crossing Main
street near the blacksmith shop Thursday,
was knocked down by a pair of horses
driven by Mr.. Thayer of Guilford. Mrs.
Tuhll was taken into p. NJ. Bakers store
and DIR. Bruce called. Later she was
taken to her home on Vernon street. 1t
was found that there were no bones broken,
but she received what may prove to be a
severe spinal conclusion with injury to the
sciatic nerve. Mr. Thayer was giving his
attention to a crowd of small boys who
were Catching rides" and did not see Mrs.
Tuhill crossing the street.
The committee on a state bankers asso-
citation report that of all the banks and
trust companies to which invitations to
join the association were sent, AZ replies
have been received, among which 80 have
signified their willingness to. enter such an
Organization. Among them we're the ma
tional bank of Bellows Falls and the Peo-
Piles national, Vermont national and Brattle-
boro savings banks. The committee will call
a meeting about March for the purpose of
completing the organization. 1t is ex-
pected that as soon as the association is
organized and proved a success most of the
state banks will become identified with it.

A SONNET.

Written many years ago by the late Rev. DIR
George 2. Tyler; copied from his unpublished
manuscript.
The mountains win a strange love from their
child.
Back, like the eagle to his eyrie wild,
His soul flies thither at the hour of dreams
To loiter by the banks Of those glad streams
Which have like him. their birthplace on the hills
'Ts pure lesson taught us by the rills
Which, mingliug, swell their power of blessing
up
Till thousand happy things, from their full cup,
Drink life, surprising loyeliness and strength.
Blessings attend their path, until at length
Their course is ended In the mighty sea-
So may my pathway mid my fellows be,
Offering that fount which makes forever best
Till in the earth's green bosom am laid to rest.
