GLADSTONE'S OLD AGE.
1t Is a Beautiful Example - Always
Busy and Interested.


Mr.. Gladstone, i'll the evening of
his life, is busted as few men are, but
he never loses his capacity for work
or lags in the task of keeping abreast
of the topics of the time, says the
New York World. After six hours
spent in editing Buffers Analogy"
the work on which he is now. en-
gagged, he is willing and eager to talk
at the luncheon table on anything
but politics. Newspapers he not
only reads but criticises and COM
pares.
If the SUBJECT of conversation hap
pens to be newly created peer there
is poured forth a food Of recollection
and perhaps quietly witty sally,
such as: II could tell you ever so
much more. But I don't want you
to get me into libel action" Books
are his favorite topic, and his latest
friends are Robinson Crusoe" and
the ARABIAN Nights. Miss Edge
worth has also received attention.
The three latest books to occupy him
have been Aunt Anne" ga Flash
of Summer" and Sir W. Hunters
"Old Missionary"
The II o'clock service in the Ha-
warden chapel always sees Mr.. Glad
stone now. He used to attend the
8 o'clock service, but his physicians
forbade this on account of his eye
sight. He listens to every word with
the keenest attention, and if the pose
seems to convey the idea that he is
deaf it is a mistake. ....
Mr.. Gladstone is known to have
the tenderest regard for his wife,
and neither work nor amusement
occupies his mind if she is the least
bit i'll.

He OWNS $4,000 DOGS.
The Sheep King of Russia Has Need
.... of Them.

Gustave Javanovitch has a fond
ness for dogs, says the New York
World. He has altogether $4,000
of the animals. That ought to prove
the case. Javanovitch is not, however,
insane or a monomaniac on the sub
ject of CANNES, In addition to his
tremendous kennels he has the
largest herd of sheep in the world.
When his 6ocks are all rounded up at
shearing time the figures show that
Gustave has 1900, 900 bleating lambs
and butting rams. 1t is because of
the sheep he owns the dogs.
l. Javanovitch is the sheep king of
Russia Or the lower plateaus or
steppes of the lower country he has
thousands of acres of land. Men are
needed, of course, to see to the COM
fort and well-beihg Of the animals,
but it would require a good-sized
army of employees to look after 1,500,-
600 sheep.
Nearly all OF Javanovitch's sheep
dogs are Scotch collies. The shep-
herds of Scotland have used them
for centuries in caring for their
focks. When JavanovEch started
the nucleus, for his immense
establishment be imported 80 Of the
dogs from Scotland. Under careful
coaching they developed the traits Of
their canine ancestors and now care
for the focks as well if not better
than an unlimited number of men
could do it.. The grea%toes of sheep
on the Russian plains are wolves.

Key West.

The present population of Key
West, according to the estimate of
the mayor, is $4,000, almost equally
divided into three parts-5, 900 white
Cubans, 5000 white Bahamians and
5000 colored Cuhans and Bahamians.
This estimate leaves no room for
Americans; and the real Americans
ON the island number only eight or
ten families. Although most of the
adult male residents have been
naturalized, they can scarcely be
considered American citizens in the
broad sense of the term, having no
personal knowledge of any part of
the republic but the tiny island of
Key West, and clinging tenaciously
to the peculiar customs of Cuba and
the Bahamas,

RATS LIVED IN LUXURY.
Thsir Nests Composed of Bank Notes
Taken from the Till.

The pleasure that a rat takes in
stealing has never been accurately
estimated. Discretion or discrimina-
ton on the part of the rat is abso-
lutely unknown, but the rats in John
Carberrys barroon, at Atlantic and
Rockaway avenues, showed remark
able taste in the articles that they
selected to carry away. Mr.. Car
berry had been in business for nearly
six years, and has lived on Ocean
hill for quarter of a century. For
the last two or three years money
has mysteriously disappeared from
the cash drawer. Both Mr.. CARRIER
ry and his bartenders were utterly
unable to account for this disappear
ance. A vague idea that a second
Hermann was circulating about the
premises and extracting money from
the till by sleight of hand perform
ances led them to keep q particu-
larly careful watch in the endeavor
to discover the thief.
One night in March, 1892, Mike"
Carlton, the bartender, was in charge
of the place. He had three one dol
lar bills, which he placed in the
drawer. Several men, habitues of
the place, were leaning up against
the casks opposite the bar, and sew
eral others were playing cards, and
when he came back and again opened
the till the bills had disappeared.
Thinking that it was a joke put up
on him by some Of the barroom wags,
he asked that the money be returned
before he made up his cash account
that night. When the time came
the bills were still missing. Time
and again the same sudden disap-
pearance and establishment and re-
greet have been experienced, but, un-
like the cat of blessed memory, the
bills returned not. Carberry him
self missed s25 one night. He
counted his money over and over
again, endeavoring to persuade him
self that a one dollar bill was ''ten
spot" in order to make the account
square, but his imagination failed.
This sort of thing went on until a
few weeks ago, when Carberry put
two dollar bill in the drawer. He
turned away for few moments, and
upon again opening the drawer the
bill was nowhere to be seen. This
was too much. The sudden disap-
pearance and the fact that no one
had been behind the bar but himself
led him to think that the depreda-
tons must have been committed by
four footed enemies, and a search
was instituted. Several nests of rats
were found. Some of the bills had
been gnawed beyond all possibility
Of ever discovering their denomina-
ton, but much of the money was
comparatively uninjured. A large
roll of the mutilated greenbacks was
sent to the bank where Mr. Carberry
keeps his account, and there re-
deemed. But many Of the bills are
much better suited to the needs of
the rat than anything else. Just
how much money was carried off by
the rats could not be ascertained,
but that it amounted to several hun
dred dollars is undeniable. At
present Carberry keeps his paper
money on top of the bar, where
careful watch can be kept on tn.

MAD DOG SCARE,
County Seat Residents Have Trouble
With Til cir Canines.

mad dog caused great excitement
in the central part of Wilkesbarre on
Friday. The dog was first seen by a
boy, Charles Newsbige. The dog snap
ped at him and the boy kicked him off
but the animal jumped at him again,
tore his trousers and scratched his leg
enough to draw blood. Newsbigle than
tried to catch hold of him, but the dog
sank his teeth deep into his flesh, inhict-
ing a painful wound.
The dog then ran down the street and
came upon William Mccartney and
William Green. The yonug men tried
to get out of the animals way, but the
dog jumped at Green and bit his hand.
He next jumped ut Mccartney but the
latter kicked him off, suffering nothing
more than torn trousers. Mr.. Green
hastencd to the drug store and had his
wound cauterized.
The dog resumed his journey down the
street and came upon a woman and a
child, at whom be snapped vicously.
The next person the dog came in con
tact with was William Phoenix, color
ed man. The dog sprang at him, biting
him upon the arm, and Phoenix seized a
fence paling and beat him of
In the meantime Green hastened to
his home, procured revolver and
mounting his bicycle started in pursuit
of the dog. The young man overlook
him and ended his life.

people have been bitten by mad dogs

The registration of school children

it entails AN additional amount of labor

The Luzerne county commissioners
have decided that all this is but one as
sessment and must be done all at the
same time. They have further decided
that the pay for the same shall be az

necessarily employed. This rate will
make the cost of the assessment, includ-

was paid before the school registration

May Unite Two Orders.

What was probably the most important
business transacted at the annual meet
ing of the Ancient Order of Hbernians
Board of Erin, at Philadelphia last week
was the adoption of a resolution to ap
point committee of five who, with the
national officers, shall make an effort to
meet similar committee and the
national officers of the American Board
for the purpose of bring about unity.
The committee consists of j. J. Hagerty.
New York; William +. Berry, Jersey
City; Il. f. McGrath, Ohio; Joseph Nc
Laughlin, Philadelphia, and NJ f. Nc
Partland, Brooklyn. If the American
Board agrees, both sides will present
their grievances to a board of arbitra-
tion, which will probably consist of
Archbishop Ryan, Bishop O'Ilara, of
Scranton, and Bishop Foley, of Detroit.
An election for officers resulted as
follows: p. j. McGarry, Chicago, national
delegate; John McWilliams, Green
Point, n. Y, national treasurer, and f.
X. Hees, New brunswick, n. j., national
secretary. New York city was selected
for the next national convention, to be
held on May, 1897

a Riot Yesterday at McAdoo.

For some weeks past the Italians in
the vicinity of McAdoo have not gotten
along very well with their neighbors,
and of late several skirmishes took place
among the people in that vicinity. Dur
ing ball game yesterday the trouble
broke out afresh, and from an alterca-
tion between small boy and an Italian
it grew rapidly into a full-iledgcd riot,
in which rcvolvers played a prominent
part.
The Italians, it is alleged, numbered
about 100, and nearly all were armed.
As soon as the fuss began they COM
menced shooting into the crowd, and it
is known that at least ten persons were
more or less hurt. Fortunately, there
were none killed. A number of arrests
