EXPLOSION.

Boston, Nov. 16.-There was an at
tempt made early today to blow up the
IIc.el Highland, Roxbury. by the use
of dynamite. The hotel is a four-story
apartment house. The chimney and
Cle of the upper stories was badly
wrecked by the explosion.
1t is alleged that the dynamite was
used for the purpose of revenge. After
the explosion the police found on the
rouf three uneXploded sticks Of dyna-
mite eight inches in length. They
think the intention was to have the
bomb explode simultaneously, which
would have caused terrible destruction.
Cornelius O'Brien of Roxbury is the
owner of the hotel. 1t was purchased
some time ago from Nicholas Bolande.
speculation. After the sale some ques-
lion of the ownership arose and
O'Brien was sued by Bolande. who lost
the cause. These facts have been re-
ported to the police, together with the
Information that there have beer five
new janitors at the building within a
month. Each ~janitor left without Civ
ing any reason for doing so. What
bearing these conditions may have on
the case, the police decline to say, yet
they are following up the clue.

MARRIED WHILE HYPNOTIZED.

MARRIED WHILE HYPNOTIZED.
Poughkeepsie. N. y. Nov. 16.-Al-
yah Baker is consumed with anxiety
to learn whether or not he is a mar
ried man. He hopes that he is single,
but fears he has a wife. His case will
come UP in court next week. Baker
will seek to annul a marriage which
occurred last Monday. in which he fig
ured as bridegroom. The bride was
Rachel A. %Schryver. She is 81 years
old. and the daughter OF a former
town clerk of Hyde park. Two of her
brothers are on the New York police
the estate of Frederick w. Vanderbilt,
in Hyde park.
1t is. according to Bakers story. a
case of hypnotic influence, or, as he
calls 1T, a spell" He say he was
working at the Vanderbilt place last
Monday, when a village constable came
along, and told him he must go to the
village. He went with the constable
to the house of George Rymper. a JUS
tice of the peace. 1t is at this point
that Baker finds his recollection cloud
ed with the hypnotic maze. There was
no show OF violence, Baker says, but
| yielding to some occult influence,
which ven now he is unable to define,
he found himself taking a leading part
in a marriage ceremony. Squire Rym-
per pronounced the words. and before
he knew 1t Baker had kissed the bride
and shaken hands with her family and
been wor to secrecy. Then he went
away. He has not eel the bride since,
and does not want to see her. He
vows he never will live with her.

ANECDOTES WORTH TELLING.
Each Has a Streak of Iiumor or a
Grain of Philosophy.

A writer in one of the English re-
views relates that during a CONVERSE
ton with George Eliot. not long before
her death. a vase toppled over on the
mantelpiece. The great writer quickly
and unconsciously put Il her hand to
stop its fall. Il hope" said she, re-
placing it, that the time will come
when we shall instinctively hold up the
man or woman who begins to fall as
naturally and unconsciously as we ar,
rest a falling piece of furniture or an
ornament"
A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges
who limped in his walk was some years
ago ~accosted by a well known politi-
clan who asked him if he was not the
chaplin of the college at such a time,
naming the year. The doctor replied
that he was. The interrogation observ-
ed: Il knew you by your limp"
We'll" said the doctor. cit seemed my
limping made a deeper impression than

reply, with ready wit, 81 is the highest
compliment w can pay a minister to

Socrates, the ecclesiastical historic.
grapher, reports a story of one Pambo,
a plain, ignorant man, who came to a
learned man and desired him to teach
him some psalm Or other. He began
to read unto him the 39th Psalm: Il
said, | will take heed to my ways that
sin not with my tongue" says Spencer.
Having passed this first verse Pambo
shut the book and took his leave, say
ing that he would go and learn that
point first. When he had absented HIM
self for the space of nine months he
was demanded Of his reader when he
would go forward. He answered that
he had not yet learned his old lesson,
and he gave the very same answer to
one that asked the like question 40
years after.
Sir Ashley Cooper. on visiting Paris,
was asked by the surgeon zen chef" of
the empire how many times he had
performed a certain wonderful feat of
surgery. He replied that he had per-
formed the operation 10 times. "Ah,

times. How many times did you save

A good delegation of leading citizens
and taxpayers has been selected to
compose the city republican conven-
ton. The duty of those upon whom
the responsibility rests is very plain.

given a place just because he vans it.
Let selections be made because of fit

An Easter Shock
There was a pretty maiden.
And she saw a little bonnet,
With ribbon and some roses.
And nothing else upon it.
The ribbon cost a quarter
And the roses cost a dime,
And the pretty maid pronounced it
A millinery rhyme.
This pretty Easter maiden
Put this bonnet on her head:
And the bill for sixty dollars
Knocked her portly poppa dead.

If the Boomerang will look into the
matter of expectation of wool referred
to in trade reports it will find that it
was simply a reshipment of foreign
wool, made necessary because of the
congested condition of the wool mar
ket in this country.
