sorry for it--hopes in God it is not true
however, as Archbishop Tillotson
wittily observes upon it, is resolved in

Another Ascent Of Mount Ararat.

Another ascent of Mount Ararat has
been made by party Of four Russians

and Dragomiroff Of the Caucasian gem
eral staff and Cossack officer named
Posharski. The party. all mounted,
started early in the morning with cou-
pie Of servants in charge of the sump-
ter mules. At an elevation Of $500 feet
the cattle had to be left behind, and the
party, proceeding on foot, had reached
an altitude of 14,700 feet at sundown.
Here they encamped for the night, and
on the following morning climbed to
the eastern summit of Great Ararat,
where number of scientific observations
were taken. The next day the party
reached the highest point Of the west
ern summit, at an altitude Of 1925
feet, and here also thermometrical and
psychrometrical observations we're tax
en-, and an analysis made of the glacial
covering Of the pinnacle. The descent
was safely accomplished, and the cattle
found in good condition ON the lower
terrace, where they had been hobbled
for three days. -L@don News.

Lodging In : Rope House.

The latest addition to the curiosities
Of the city Is what Secretary Saunders
Of the election commission calls rope
house. 1t is a combination saloon and
hotel at the Levee and Spruce street,
kept by man named Peterson.
Across the room the proprietor has a
rope stretched tightly, and in front Of it
and parallel with it is row of ordina-
ry wooden bottom chairs. Every lodger.
upon payment Of cents, is given a
chair and is allowed to sleep with his
head resting upon the rope. They are
allowed to sleep until 8 O'Clock in the
morning. Promptly at that time the
bartender is required TO see that every
lodger Ii awakened and made to move
on.
This is accomplished by striking one
end Of the rope with bung starter.
The blows have pretty much the same
effect as striking the sleeping boarders
on the head with q billy, and they gen.
orally move on.
II this fails one end Of the rope is un-
fastened and the remaining sleepers are
allowed to fall sprawling on the floor. -

"As general rule, it is well to place
pictures of q certain order of design to-

The Order Of Lincoln.

The Order of Lincoln has just been
incorporated under the laws of the state
of Indiana. Its object is to acquire by
purchase or otherwise all kinds of relics
relating to Lincoln. A dispatch to the
Chicago Record says that Jesse W. Weik
of Greencastle, Ind, who has spent
years Of his life in collecting materials
for Herndon and Weik's "Life of Lin
coin, has valuable collection, and he
will be one of the principal promoters
Of the order. Other men who had per-
sonal acquaintance with the martyred
president and know where many other
valuable relics can be found will join
Mr. Weik. If - organization realizes
the expectations of its promoters it will
soon have a rare collection for Lin
coin museum, including copies of every
speech made, document written and apt
saying uttered by Mr.. Lincoln during
his life which are now obtainable.

Nothing could be fairer, more philan-

dent that he has an absolute remedy for

were given up, and death was looked upon
as an early visitor.

snlts, DIR. Slocum considers IL his religious
duty, duty which he owes to humanity, +,
to donate his infallible remedy where II

confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be

The invitation Is certainly worthy of the
consideration OF the afflicted, who, for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracsed them
selves from home and friends to live In
more salubrious climes, where the atmos-
phere Is more congenial TO weakened lungs,

all the weapons and strength In their
hands. There will be no mistake In send
