A REPUBLICAN DAY.
Paw Paw Village Elected Most of tho
Republican Ticket, Monday.

Paw Paw Village Elected Most of tho
Republican Ticket, Monday.
Great interest was manifested in the
village election on Monday; 356 votes
were polled, being only about 20 less
than the entire number of names on
the village registry. Early in the day
it could be seen that the republicans,
who are in clear majority in the vii
lage, were determined To secure control
of the council.
For president, Adelbert G.. Martin,
the republican nominee, ran like
scared cat" and was successful in spite
of lively opposition on the part of
portion of his own party, and of the
fact that he was running against Chas.
K. Avery, an excellent man and con-
ceded to be the strongest man that
could have been nominated by the
democrats.
For clerk, the time -honored sympa-
thy for VIM. H. Mason's empty sleeve
secured him plenty of republican votes
to elect him.
For treasurer, successful personal
fight was made against Jas. + Bnllard,
the republican nominee.
All three republican candidates for
trustees were elected, as was also the
republican nominee for assessor.
All in all, the day was most salts
factory one for the republicans, consid-
ering the majorities given to most OF
the ticket. A year ago, the vote of the
two parties was so evenly balanced that
candidates on both tickets were elected
by majorities from one up.
Following is the vote in detail

An Industrious Yell0W.Hammer.

William r. O'Neil, of the Pacific
vinegar factory, noticed a yellow-ham-
mer industriously ataawork one day re.
Gently on the siding of the factory
building. MI. O'Neil watched the bird
for some time, and inside of an hour
it had cut a round hole two or three
inches in diameter through the inch
planking. Mr.. O'Neil is not a NEAR
man, and. if the bird cared to make
its home in his vinegar factory, why,
it was all right. Next day, however.
he noticed that the yellow hammer
was engaged on another hole. '.It's
for a back door," thought the owner
of the building. But after it had fin
ished the back door it cheerfully went
to work on other holes, probably for
windows. By the time there were ff.
teen holes in the side of the factory
Mr.. ONeil concluded that the yellow.
hammer was taking libertiessswith his
property. So he obtained permission
from the Chief of Police to shoot il.
For a whole day the Office boy and Mr..
O'Neil's brother banged away without
.feazing the little bird, and it was
finally necessary to employ an expert
marksman to bring it down. The
marksman charged fifty cents for his
services, and Mr.. O'Neil also lost the
best part OF a day mailing boards over
the holes in the planking. Portland

Remarkable Signature OF a Man Who
Couldn't Write.

Wolf Bluestine, who died at Hot
Sprinss, Ark, recently aud was buried
at Houston, Texas, came to Orange,
Tezas, a very poor man in 1876. He
begin merchandising ..and while there
acquired q capital estimated at be-
tTeen $50, 900 and $75, 900. He could
neither read nor write, yet he was q
mas~el in mental arithmetic. Frac.
tions nor interest had any hard places
in them for him. He offered the pria-
cipal OF the city schools at Orange
800 if he would teach him to write
his own name within a year. The pro.
lessor undertook the job and worked
with great energy, but discovered that
on each Monday morning every trace
of the previous weeks work had n
tirely faded from the mind of hispupil,
and after five months of close atten-
ton to his undertaking, abandoned it
as a hopeless case. A peculiarly con-
structed "BXX" was the nearest 'ap-
proach he eve made to penmanship,
but that signature is attached to many
valuable documents now of record in
the county, and has for several years
passed current at the banks in New
York, Galveston and Orange, often for
large sums of money. It was quite as
difficult to counterfeit the characters
as affixed by him as it would be to sue.
cessfully initiate the signature.

The New York Sun remarks: ssThose
persons who do not ride bicycles, and
those bicyclists who only potter about
the Park, the Boulevard and Riverside
Drive, % havs no idea what a change
has been produced by the sport in re-
mote country places. For one thing,
the condition of the roads has i'm.
proved immensely within a year. This
is largely the effect of concentrated
effort, steadily applied. But by far
the most interesting evolution is the
recrudescence of the inn. Those who
drove horses were an insignificant
few as compared with the army of
patrons of the wheel. The custom
which depended upon the horsey peo-
pie was variable and uncertain. On
the other hand, that Of the cyclists is
constant and reliable. The innkeep-
ers have realized that their time has
come round again. The competition
among the keepers of houses of enter
tainment is just keen enough to cause
them to give a good value. Meals that
nre satisfactory to those whose appe-
tite have boon sharpened by a good
spin along 9 good road are obtainable
at places where a short time ago only
the most primitive fare could. be had.
1t is customary just now for large par
ties to leave New York City and Brook
lyn on Saturdays. take the train for
some distant point and start bright
and early on Sunday on o long run.

modations. If the good work goes on

In the treasury Of the imperial and
royal house of Austria, at Vienna, are
some remarkable specimens of work in
rock crystal, ewers, fsgons, and tank
ards, ornamented and engraved with
elaborate scenes and landscapes, and
set with enamel, gold, and precious
stones. These pieces were used at the
coronation Of the Austrian kings, or
for their domestic service. A vase in
the same collection is formed of sim
gle Peruvian emerald weighing 268O
c%arats, which is said to have been part
of the treasure of Burgundy. Here,
also, is the imperial crown of Austria,
made during the reign of Rudolph II.
It is of pure gold, r1chly adorned with
diamonds, pearls, and rubies. The
c~5rclet is of gold, encircled with large
fat diamonds and pearls, two ranges
of deeply set pearls decorating the
border. The upper border of the cir
clet is adorned with four large and
four small feur-de-lys ornaments bear
ing large rubies, diamonds, and pearls.
The skeleton of the cap is composed of
broad stripes of enamel, accompanied
by q range of pearls on either side of
the hoop which divides the cap into
two halves. Each half is formed by
two triangular plates of gold, ON which
the principal scenes Of the coronation
are wrought in b%as-relief. The hoop
is surmounted by little cross adorned
by q sapphire of matchless beauty.

Repeating Rifles.

The King of Denmark's "sort Of
new invented Guns, which being but
one charged will discharge many
times, one after another" in 1857,
would seem to have had rivals about
the same period. Pepys twice refers
to such. On July 8. 1852, when tat
the Dolphin with the Officers of the
Ordnance, after dinner was brought
to Sir w. Compton q gun to discharge
seven times, the best of all devices

Color of Uniforms.

Referring to the agitation for the
a~bolishment of the scarlet uniform in
England the Admiralty and Horse
Guards Gazette says: sIt is so fire.
quently taken for granted that red is
the most conspicuous color that could
be used for that purpose, that to hear
it combated, and with ~irrefragable
arguments, is something of q novelty,
even for those who are ready to be
convinced in favor of the smarter &C.
couterment. A German officer de-
clared that the white coated cuiras-
sieas were more conspicuous even
against the snow than the red coats of
the ziether Hussars, and complimented
Englishmen on being so practical q
race as to embody this fact in the uni
form of their soldiers. He further
mentioned special experiments on the
ranges in confederation of his state
ment, the results furnished being
three hits to the blue target against
M to the red. As a further illustra.
ton, a squad of ten volunteers, two
dressed in light gray, two in dark
gray, two in scarlet, two6n dark blue
and two in green, wers ordered to
march of, and were carefully watched
by a number of volunteer officers, and
the result attained was as follows:
First the light gray disappeared, next
the scarlet, then the dark gray, and
Tong after this the dark blue and the
dark green were still visible. The
Importance of these experiments can
not be overrated, and it is to be hoped
that they will be followed up until a
definite conclusion has been arrived
at"

Honors are rain ing upon America
art in London and Paris just now, says
Harper's Weekly. It is not very long
since Mr.. Abbey vas elected to the
Royal Academy, and the exhibition
recently opened by the illustrious
organization is reported to owe a great
proportion of it's value to him and to
Mr.. Sargent. The latter is also pre-.
eminent in the show at the New Gal
lery. In Paris Mr.. Abbey has been
made an associate Of the Champ de

significant Salon of the two which
make the French Season" His great
achievement in decorative narration,
the design for the "Holy Grail" page
ant on the walls of q room in the Bos-
ton Public Library, has completely
won the Partisan critics. Il is very
gratifying to Americans, and it is the
more delightful to them inasmuch as
1t is not o surprise. Both Sargent and
Abbey have shown that they could be-
uneven in their work. The former
sent to the spring displays of the AGA

Artists. here in New York, some amaz-
ingly poor paintings. But the Juror
created by his portraits in London to-
day-the portrait of Mr.. Chamberlain

name is still unrevealed to the public
comes as the elimination to a de-
velopment which has been, on the
whole, extraordinarily steady and sure.
