all the feet except those he watched

The expedition of Anglo Egyptian

der the sirdar and Gen. Sir Herbert

strong force of cavalry and infantry.
The scouts, however,, have not sighted
any dervishes today. although they
were pushed forward considerable
distance. A further advance will be
made tomorrow. The advance tomor
row will be to Kubudeh, on the third
cataract of the Nile, which point will
be occupied by the sirdar and the main
force Of the expedition. Kubudeh is
only about four miles from and within
easy striking distance of Kerma, which
Is just above the third cataract, and
which the dervishes have made the rail-
lying point for heavy reinforcements Of
cavalry.
Kerma has been looked to as the point
where the first battle would occur, but
the reconnoisanoes thus far made have
failed to develop any force of the enc

the desperate kind Of fighting done by
the dervishes at Ferkeh that they will
retire from Kerma without fight.

Stephen was convicted in Orange coun-

fine of $3.50 or be imprisoned 125 days.
The defendant sued out a writ of habeas
corpus, averring that the sentence was
illegal and that the ordinance under
which he was conviced provided for
a maximum fine of 5000 and that his
sentence was in excess of that. The su-
preme court. in remanding the petition

which provides that person who sells
intoxicating liquors without a license is
guilty of misdemeanor; and section 19

to adopt another name in order to get

He stated that he had been looking up
the law relating to the filing of petitions
and finds that voter can sign the pc
tition of but one elector. The gold
standard Democrats have, however. al
ready prepared petitions for all their
candidates, so no technical objection can

some very funny set pieces, i was shown
the skeleton OF a donkey outlined by the

which / have described. Attached To it
was a wheel, which, when set in motion
by alightiDg. acted upon the legs of fie
donkey in most. lively and vivacious
manner.
Nothing can be more dreamy and fan
tastic than the aquatic fireworks as seen
from shore or boat. These are made with
especial reference to sea shore, lake. or
stream. and include diving devils, flying
fish, water volcanoes, sea serpents, spray
fountains. jewelcd fountains, and other
devices, all prepared with coatiDgs of
shellac wherever they need TO be protected
from the water.
The Japanese excel all other nations in
their bomb shell effects, and in their latest
novelty, day fireworks. The shells for
the daylight fireworks come in sizes. f.
g, or i 2 inches in circumference. These
shells are placed in mortar with tie
fuse hanging out One has but TO slide
off the red paper from the fuse, light tie
fuse and quickly move AWAY, and almost
simultaneously he will hear an explosion
and see at a great altitude human fig
ures, dragons, animals, birds, fish, tur-
ties, insects. balloons, parasols, chrysan-
themums and many other figures, some
of them being nine feet in height.
The cost OF q finely managed display OF
fireworks is no small consideration. At
the Presidential Inauguration at Washing
ton March i. 1885, 5000 was paid to
