After False Gods.

This humorous sketch, by Carl E.
Boyle, secured the prize Of 800 offer
ed by the New York Sunday World for
the best campaign joke:
There has been much boiling this
year. and hence the story told by. an
Indiana speaker to illustrate the chas-

particularly good. 1t does not mat

According to the chronicle, a man
was one day driving q number of
calves along a country road, when he
met another farmer driving a bull.
The animal was angry and going at a
terrific speed, with the farmer mout-
ed on horse in hot pursuit.
The calves gave surprised Heats
turned around, stuck their tails
straight out behind them and started
after the bull. In vain the owners Of
the younger animals tried to stop
them. His yells we're UNDECIDED, and
soon the bull and the calves disap-
peared up the road in cloud OF dust.
The farmer stopped and mopped his
face, mad clear through. Then he
yelled after the vanishing bovines.
"Go it, ye durn fools! Foller that
bull clear out OF the state! Yen find
what q mistake ye have made when

NAMES OF THE FLOWERS.

The name of the pansy is from the
French "pensees," Thoughts" this
flower from very ancient times being q
symbol of affectionate remembrance.
The rhododendron is named from two
Greek words signifying ga rose-tree,'
from the gigantic size Of these plants in
oriental and tropical countries. go
The calycanthus has its name from
two Greek words signifying "a cloaed
cup" an allusion to the peculiar shape
of the outer covering of the hower.lij
The geranium has its name from two
Latin words signifying cranes BILL"
the reference being to the, beak-like
torus projecting beyond the seeds.
The dianthus has it's name from two
Greek words signifying "divine flow
err" in reference to the fragrance and
unrivaled neatness of the blossoms.
The tulip derives it's name from the
Persian word thoulbon, "a turban," an
eastern head-dress, sometimes made in
the form of well-shaped tulip.
The name of the rose is said by schol-
ars 10 be nearly the same In all Ian
guages. It is even asserted that the

Apportionias :he Spells.

A large number of patriotic gentle
mon, who think that by reason Of their
voting against the interests Of Nevada
and in favor Of the gold trust, they
have earned the good will Of Mr..
Hanna and deserve recognition from
the spowers that are to be" assembled
at Carson yesterday to discuss the
q Federal pie question and the distri-
button OF the patronage. The meeting
was regularly organized and on mo-
tio1, it was decided, to ascertain the
number of offices at the disposal of
the incoming administration and also
the number of candidates for each Of
fee. One member called attention to
the Civil Service act and inquired If
it did not stand in the way OF the as
;pirants. One or two suggested the
adoption of resolution requesting
Mr.. Hanna to urge the repeal Of the
Civil Service act. Another said those
civil service regulations were not
binding on the new administration,
while it was fact that the party In
it's National platforms had repeatedly
declared in favor of civil refor.A, it
was not binding upon the party
@Why" said he in fine burst of en-
thusiasm, didn't the party declare
for free coinage time and again and
didn't we come out -squarely against
it this year." This senti nent was ap-
plauded and when the enthusiasm
snbsided it was ascertained that there
were three positions in the mint. One
or possibly two at the Indian reser-
vations, the Surveyor General, United
States District Attorney and the Unit.
ed States Marshal who did not come
under the civil service rules. It was
found that there were from three t.
half q dozen candidates for every
office and from ten to twenty for every
subordinate position in the mint and
at the Indian reservations il those
COMPOUNDED civil service rules can be
repealed or abrogated. 4,
The meeting " sls Ut as harmonious
as could be desired as there we're too
many candidates and too few Offices,
and several declared that they would
not abide by the action Of the bosses,
who wanted the choicest positions,
but would act independently and pre-
sent their claims for the places they
desired..-Reno Journal

ALBANY, Feb. 2O.-Dr. Montague r.
Leverson OF Port Richmond, 5. l., who
came to Albany to argue against the anti
nudity bill. now up for hearing before the
senate committee on codes, was a tempo
rary prisoner in the Second precinct sta
ton, charged with breach Of the peace
Before Tho committee the doctor hurled
some strong epithets at Anthony Com
stock, who is behind the bill, referring to
him as a blackmailer. There were some
hot words between them in the committee
room, but they parted without coming to
blows.
Thoy came together later, however, in
the Union depot, and there was a clash.
Tho doctor said that he was approached by
Comstook, who asked him If he was ready
then to repeat the charges he had made In
the committee room. The doctor told Com
stock that he did not desire TO talk to him,
and he endeavored TO free himself of Com
stocks association, but the latter, he
claims, stuck to him and demanded an
answer
The doctor told him to go away, but he
would not go. Comstock continued to de-
mand satisfaction, and according to the
story told the police by the doctor, Com
stock wanted to inflict corporal punish
ment upon the doctor.
Patience ceased to be a virtue, and the
doctor, somewhat excited by the annoy
ance, raised his voice above a moderate
tone, and, having better lungs than his
antagonist Policeman Lanahan appeared
on the scene and placed him under arrest
for breach Of the peace. He was bailed for
appearance at early court this morning by
Orrison L. Foreyston Of Brooklyn and
put up at Keeler's for the night.
