The we'll known submerged forest at
Whitburn Bay, Sunderland, has been
the subject of much conversation late
ly, because Of more of IL having been
seen than has been the case for some
years. Recently an interesting find
was made in connection with it. The
relic was part Of a fir tree, which was
in the mid stage between coal and
wood.

The dressing of Goldfish is IN opera
ton requiring skill and rapidity. A
man called the %"throater' cuts the
fssh's throat and rips it open and
passes it to the 'header," who removes
the head and entrails; the splitter
then splits the fish open and takes out
q part of the backbone, and the
''salter" piles up the fish in tiers in the
hold Of the boat and salts them.

After the decision of the Plat forces
not to present the name Of Morton, owing
to the war waged against him by the War
ner Miller faction, the nomination Of Ho.
bart Of New Jersey became a certainty.
The Mckinley Influence was thrown for
him, and although there was an attempt
to consolidate the West and South on H.
Clay Evans Of Tennessee, the Mckinley
influence was too powerful. Besides, it was
the general sense Of the delegates that the
logic Of the situation required the nomina-
ton of an Eastern man for vice president.
The nominating speeches were. brief.
Buckley of Connecticut, Lippett Of Rhode
Island and Gen. Walker Of Virginia were
also placed In nomination. 1t only required
one ballot to determine the contest. Hobart
received 1904 votes, 90 more than Il ma
jorlty. Evans, his nearest competitor, re-
ceived 2sOh. There were scattering votes
for Reed, Thurston. Grant, Depew. Morton
and Brown.

with drawn blinds or surrounded by

caution is more likely to be fear than
modesty. In days gone by the savage

GEORGE WILLIAMS ON WHEELS.

George Williams, one of the clerks
in the general Office of the Texar-
kama & Fl. Smith railroad Office,
here, was invited to a dance, at
Judge Bates, Ogden, Arkansas, on
Friday night, aud as he has a sweet
heart in that part of the country,
he determined to go. His clerkship
did not carry with it the dignity of
a special tram, and his salary would
not allow him to hire four men to
pump him over on a hand car, and
the distance was too great to get
there on horseback. The best thing
be could do was to get IN with the
liue repairer and borrow his railroad
velocipede. This he did, aud mount
ing it with a a palpitating heart, at
the thought of seeing that one be-
ing who had control of his heart
strings, he started out with full
determination to get there on time
or "hreak a trace chain" He made
the run all right, danced until a.
m, and returned. He looked sad
yesterday and tired, but when
speaking of the hardship of the
trip, he put his hand on his heart
aud said: ~ think / would try it

THE BEST YET
salvini. IN The Three
Guardsmsn," Will Be the At
traction os the Season.

The local management an
uouuoe that Mr. W. NJ. Wilkerson,
the manager of the Salyini Compa-
nv, has agreed to its selection of
the Three Guardsmen," as the
play in which Salylni will appear in
his forthcoming engagement. 1t is
not only his most popular play, but
il is the most elaborate Of all his
famous productions. The popular
ity of the Three Guardsmen" is
perhaps due to the presence of the
great number of characters, each
of which has been familiar tor many
years TO the readers of historic and
romantic literature: Cardinal Rich
elieu. Anne of Austria, the Duke of
Buckingham were all connected
with the great events of the days
IN which they actually lived, and
"The Three Musketeers," AthOs,
Porthos. and Aramis, in whom Du-
mas, so ably personifed with quail
ties of courage, loyalty, and friend
ship, have been literally deities Of
fiction ever since they we're first in
troduced. But ofcourse it is the
fortunes of the daring, reckless,
Joyous D'Artagnan who is the NOV
ing spirit Of the whole theme Ac-
cordiug to our modern standards,
D'Artagnan is an impossible crea-
ton, but Salyini has endowed his
portrayal with such Incompatible
naturalism that one unconsciously
listens to his taunts, his gallantTy
and bravado, and watches his adj
ventures. his duels and remarkable
escapades as if he were a natural,
living Individual, Salvlni's methods
are as opposite to that of the An
glo-Saxon actor, as his repotoire is
to the modern PLAY.

Lack Of Money Was No impeachment to the
Student and His Bride.
The city registrars Office In the old
courthouse is the scene Of one or two
marriages daily, and amusing incidents
frequently occur. Perhaps the most pc
culiar case that has come up recently,
an account Of which was related to q
reporter a few days ago, Is that Of q
Harvard student who was In love and
without funds The love conquered his
pride. and he concluded to investigate
the matter with view Of getting mar
iried on trust. he made his appearance
at the desk In the registrars Office and
inquired II that was the place where he
could procure a marriage certificate
and also get married. He was informed
that it was, and blank application was
handed to him. which he proceeded to
fill out
After this proceeding was gone through
with he looked up, and, In hesitating
manner, asked the clerk If he. could
have few moments private converse
ton with him. He was taken into the
anteroom. and this is the tale he un-
folded: He said that he was deeply in
love with young lady. and that she
was also very much in love with him.
But her parents had serious objections
to the match and did all that was in
their power to break it off. They had
closed their doors on him; but, notwith-
standing this, he succeeded in arranging
meetings with his hearts choice, and
during one of these he proposed mar
riage to her and was accepted, he argu-
ing that if they were Joined in the holy
bonds Of matrimony nothing, not even
her stern parents, could separate them.
They had arranged the details and con-
cluded that the only thing to be done
was to get married in secret and then
separate until he should graduate from
his college. She, of course, would go
back to her home and live with her
parents as if nothing out Of the general
run of events had happened.
But the young man, being without
funds, was in a dilemma, and the worst
of it was he could not see his way clear
to procure the necessary amount to pay
for the certificate and ceremony. His
home was in a western state, and he re-
ceived an allowance from his father only
once in six months. It was not due for
nearly two months. He concluded that
his only course was to try the method
referred to above. The clerk. being a
kind hearted man, told the youth that
he would perform the ceremony and
trust him for the pay. provided the lady
in question was Of age. The next day
the couple put in an appearance and
were married. Upon the arrival Of the
next allowance from his parent the
youth walked into the office one day,
made himself known and presented the
clerk a $40 bill.-Boston Herald.
