CLERGYMEN'S PERMITS.

The Bureau OF the Western Passenger As
ISOLATION Will BE Tried During 1897.
The Western Passenger association, I'M
der the supervision Of Chairman Caldwell.
in a meeting held at Chicago a few days
ago, decided that the clergy permit bureau.
which was organized a year ago, would be
tried during 1897 and strengthened it Ivy
the adoption of more stringent rules dc
signed 10 guard against improper maninu-
lations of half fare permits. II was agreed
that tho bureau had been successful. lTNing
relieved the individual roads of the work
OF a detective agency and rogue's gallery
both having been found necessary IN deal
ing with clerical pretenders. II is curious
TO note that ministerial permits have ie-
peatcdly been obtained by sock agents and
canvassors, while an appalling number OF
these permits have found their way into
the possession OF brokers.
The report of the subcommittee recon-
merding strict limitations upon railway
advertising and the issuance of transporia-
ton therefor, was laid over Till the next
meeting OF the association, as was the mat
ter of circuitous route legislation and rates

Cleveland, Ohio, october FLA sensa-
ticnal chapter has been added to the al

the trunk lines between New York and
Chicago and deviating lines. some thirty
eight in all. have been trying 10 conI?el
the Glover Leaf to become member OF the
association, which that road refused 10
do. declining to be bound to the regula-
tions of the Joint Traffic association. The

Leaf TO time. then determined to sever all

the Glover Leaf.
The receivers petition alleges that the

A Chase by Moonlight In South Afric'
Something Like 3 Coon Hunt.

A Chase by Moonlight In South Africa.
Something Like 3 Coon Hunt.
In the Adirondacks, in Maine or in
Canada, wherever the American por-
cupine is found, it is not sought by
hunters as game beast, although
hunters seldom fail to kill porcupines
at every opportunity because of the
damage they do to dogs. On the other
hand, from Bower Wei, near Yelling
ton. Cape Colony, South Africa, Walter
b. Gerard writes to the London Field
to tell how he hunted the porcupine
with dogs, after the fashion Of coon
hunters, by moonlight.
The party included parson and a
MAGISTRATE, banker and landowner.
The dogs trailed a porcupine. came up
with it, and bit it. The foolish dogs bit
the quilts, but the smart ones seized the
nose. When the quilts had been removed
from the foolish dogs noses, the hunt
went on. The next head of game sighted
was huge pig, which was chased until
it took to burrow. Another pOrcupine
was soon after sighted. This porcupine
was large female, and led the hunters
a regular coon chase before she died.
The hunters were then seven miles from
home, and it was 80 a. m, and the
branches were thick with dew that
trickled down their necks and soaked
them from shoe leather to head cover
ing. But after awhile they got home
and sat down to mess Of savory satia-
ties of Malay concoctions.
The porcupine hunters didn't know
American coons, but the coon hunter
would enjoy South African porcupine
hunt by moonlight with a pack OF I'M
calmly mongrels, and the porcupine
hunters would appreciate harvest
moon coon hunt.

this most distinguished statesman and

Surely no one who is i'll, worn-out,

DIR. Greene's Nervura will cure, that
it will certainly restore health and

he has personally used it in his family

Lieut.. Governor of Vermont, Hon.

people if they wish to get well, if they
desire to get back their health and
strength, to use DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy because he
knows from personal experience, from
its use in his own family and among
his friends, and from having observed
time and time again its wonderful cur
ative powers, that it will surely and
certainly cure, that it will give strength
to the weak, strong nerves to the nerv-

freedom from pain to the rheumatic, in

The Happiest Place In Europe.


The happiest place in Europe is said
to be Klingenberg- on-the-M Main. 1t is
the one prosperous spot, where every
body has work and an incomes and
where there are no taxes, either local or
imperial, because the income Of the
municipality suffices for everything and
leaves bonus for distribution besides.
Happy Klingenberg! 1t is all due to
a little wisdom and foresight on the
part of it's local administration many
years ago. There are valuable beds Of
fire clay in the neighborhood, and these
the municipality had the prudence not
to sell to make the fortunes of other
people, but retained for the benefit OF
the town. The profits pay all taxes, and
the inhabitants get the surplus divided
among them.
The ordinary method of unthrifty
municipalities is to throw all their adj
yaptages away in water and gas supply,
coalfields, public lands and many other
etceteras, which are utilized by COM
panies, and the taxes mount up to
dizzy aggregate eventually, all because
nobody looked ahead with public spirit
at the commencement of common enter.

Do you think so eminent man of
