Distressing Experience of N Lady
While Out Shopping.

Mrs. j. +. Hart while making some
purchases at the Cohen Companys store
ON Monday. discovered that she had lost
her pocket-book. containing over 500.
this amount being in so gold-pieces. while
the pure also contained s. goid-piece
and some loose change.
Immediately upon her discovery that
the purse was lost Mrs. Hart notified
the head OF the establishment, and a
search was at once made. but without
avail The lady had been in several de-
partments Of the store. the last place
she remembered having the purse being
IN the basement. None Of the clerks had
seen anything OF 1t, and the conclusion
Is that some one. not an employee OF
the company. who was in the store at the
time. carried II OF.
Mr.. Isaac Cohen said yesterday that
hardly a day passed that some OF his
customers did not leave their pocket
books In the store. and that they were
always promptly brought TO the Office by
the clerks. and parties losing them never
failed TO get them back.
The pocket-book OF Mrs. Hart had not
been found when the store closed last
night.

 An Elephant and 0 Band-Hundreds
 of Spectators Followed Along. -
 A strange looking procession started from in front of the Grand Opera house at 11I5 last night. There was an ele- phant, a horse and a wheelbarroW, which one man was pushing along while another was enduring the jolting torture of riding in the wild joy of win ming an election bet The principals of the affair were D. Fl. Fisher adver- tising agent of the Grand Opera house, and c. Fl, Potter janitor of the same, To the observer it was hardly apparent on which one of the men deVolVed the obligation of paying the debt, as the rider seemed to be as uncomfortable as the wheeler. MT. Fisher, however, was the winner and sat in proud estate on the barrow. Just behind came an elephant, the one used in the show at the Grand this week, and the trick horse of the same show. On the bar row was tackled a card with the in scrlption, "Ohe man set to work since Mckinley was elected" A band conn posed of the orchestra of the Grand and Hyperion nstheaters furnished music for the aggregation There was an abundance of red fire and a large crowd of interested spectators, consist ing of several hundred persons, fol- lowed along. The line of march was from the Grand to Church street, to Chapel up Chapel to the Hyperion, countermarch over the same route

A Lighthouse without a Light.

The most extraordinary of all light
houses is to be found on Arnish rock,
StornoVay bay, a rock which is separated
500 feet wide. Ii is in the Hcbrides, Scot
land. On this rock IA conical beacon IS
erected, and on its summit lantern is
fixed, from which, night after night,
shines light which is seen by the fisher
men far and wide Yet there is no burn
ing lamp in the lantern and no attendant
ever goes to it, for the simple reason that
there is no lamp to attend to- no wick to
train and no oil well to replenish.
The way in which this peculiar light
house is Illuminated is this; "On the is
land of Lewis, 800 feet or so away, is u
lighthouse, and from a window in the
tower stream of light is projected on II
mirror in the lantern ON the summit Of
Arnish rock These rays are reflected to
an arrangement of prisms, and by their
action are cunvergcd to focus outside tho
lantern, from which they diverge in the
necessary direction
The consequence is that to all intents
and purposes lighthouse exists which has
neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper and
yet which gives as serviceable II light
taking into account the requirements of
this locality-as if an elaborate and costly
lighthouse, with lamps, service room, bed
room, living room, sturcroom, oilrOOm,
water tanks and all other accessories were
erected on the summit of the rock. Strand

"Some years ago" said PadGSewski, Il
dined with an official of the Russian army.
This official had in his command an officer
of great ability who was addicted to strong
drink. 1t was arranged that the man
should take dinner along with us that day
Instead of soup, the first course served to
him was brandy, which he must swallow
aspoonful at "a time, just as he would have
swallowed soup. Alter the first spoonful
he was SO sick that he implored to be
spared. Under cover of drawn revolver
the official commanded him to swallow
every spoonful in the plate. The officer
never drank drop of liquor after that.
Try to drink champagne from cup or
liquor rs that man was forced TO drink it,,
1t will mako you deathly sick. Chicago

End Gate of Warnn.

A simple and durable device for Sc
curely holding the end gate of wagon
i'll place, and permitting Of quickly
loosening it for convenient removal, is
shown in the accompanying illustration
from the Philadelphia Times. The end
gate slides loosely i'll cleats, extending
through one Of which is a short screw
rod with a nut on its outer end and an
eye on its inner end, and the eye is con-
nected by rod with link adapted to
engage a projection from the fulcrum
end of a lever pivoted in bracket at
tached to the other side Of the wagon
body.
The link is readily engaged with re
cess in the outer end of the lever, when
