1t was unanimously conceded that
the republican program was to ignore
the Dingley tariff bill and to summon
an extra session of the Fifty-fifth on.
gress on March Is for the purpose OF
passing a new tariff measure, SO these
features of the situation which have
absorbed the attention of politicians
recently had ceased to be OF interest.
In their place came the cabinet predic-
tons and the message. Curiosity was
expressed over what reference, If any,
President Cleveland might make to the
issues and the result of the presidential
campaign. and particularly as to his
policy upon the Cuban question
The central figure of the night was

The Judge Says It Is Absolutely Devoid
of Amusement.
''There's no more fun in the practice
Of law" observed the judge as he soft
ly brushed away the film Of soft ashes
from the live end Of his cigar. "Thirty
years ago, when We used TO impeach all
the witnesses ON the other side and have
two or three fights every noon recess. it
was worth while to be in the profess
sion.
day TINT Bill Traynor was dead. There
was a character. Did l ever tell you the
story about him?
"Bill once sat on q jury in one Of my
first cases. 1t was an assault and bat
terry case. The trouble came up over the
attempt to build q fence ACROSS q high
way. There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses. The trial
was held at the home Of the justice Of
the peace, q clapboard little house right
out in a cornfeld. We couldn't find -
men in the township, s we agreed to o
jury Of six. The Justices wife stood in
the doorway during the trial and die
tated all the rulings.
"They didn't make any case against
us-my partner md I appeared for the
defense-but we knew the jurymen
wanted their fees, and they wouldn't
get any IL the defendants won. So we
were not very hopeful.
1.-THE six jurymen went out into the
cornfield to deliberate. They were gone
about two hours and then brought in a
verdict Of guilty and fined each Of the
defendants % and costs. The jury was
about to be discharged when my partner
jumped up and said to M Of the jury
men: Say, who are youi I don't re-
member seeing You before Then the
foreman spoke up and said: That's all
right. Bill Traynor couldn't wait. He
went OF home. and we got Joe here to
take his place.
That's a fact. Bill had put in a
substitute on the jury after they got out
in the cornfield. The Justice said 1t was
all right anyway, 10 long q there was
q majority Of the jury present. but I
got up and threatened to sue him on his
bond, 70 he got scared and set aside the
verdict and discharged our clients.
AFTER / came on the bench Bill
Traynor was mp before me for stealing
q steer. and I made the instructions to
the jury rather favorable to him, and
he was acquitted. You zee. I had a
friendly feeling for him because he had
helped me to win one Of my first gases.

FITZSIMMON'S NEW IDEA.
The Big Pugilist Invents and Patents
a Striking Bag Device.

Mr.. Rob't Fitzsimmons, who holds
fistic championship of the world, and
who is now giving exhibitions of his
skill to large and admiring audiences
throughout the country. has applied for
letters patent through John Wedder-
burn 4 Co.. Patent Attorneys, Wash,
ington, D. c., for a punching bag plat
form, which is very unique and attrac,
tive. Bob" intends using this plat
form in his performances and it will
undoubtedly be a great addition to his
paraphernalia and add much to the
general effect of his exhibition.
In its general characteristics, the
punching bag platform comprises two
centrally arranged circular frames or
rings OF resonant material, which are
placed one above the other, and con-
nected so as to form a sounding board,
The open center of this sounding board
contains a light skeleton frame, having
a central head from which is suspend,
ed the punching bag. the suspending
cord being Of a length which will cause
the bag to impinge against the lower
surface of the sounding board in what
ever direction the bag is struck.
From the periphery of this platform
or sounding board extends an outer
skeleton frame, cosisting of a series of
radiattng arms, having open centers and
resembling the points of a mammoth
star. These arms or points are con-
nected at their outer extremeties to the
upper ends of the standards which sup,
port the sounding board at the proper
elevation above the head of the oper,
ator. The arms are also furnished at
their outer ends with sockets to re-
ceive the stats of flags of different ma,
lions, a feature which affords a high
degree of o~rnamentation and renders
the apparatus very attractive to the
eye. In addition to the advantageous
points noted above, the inner and outer
skeleton frames admit an ample sup
ply OF light beneath the sounding board
or platform, and obviate darkening the
operating space, an objection incident
to the ordinary solid or close platform
at present in use. By means of the
sounding board, the blows of the
punching bag are magnifed and can
easily be heard in any part of the the
alter.
The improved platform is quite a de-
parture from those heretofore in use
m will no doubt attract a great deal
Of attention on account Of the beauty
OF its design and its resonant qualities.

FORECASTS.
Kind OF Weather Wyoming Will Have
This Week.

in his forecasts Of Wyoming weathel
for this week, Foster says:
Tie changes in weather will occu,
in Wyoming within "a hours of s p. m
of the dates given below:
December Cooler.
December 7.-Cool.
December S.-Moderating.
December 9.-Warmer.
December 1O.-Threatening.
December 11.-Changeable.
December 12.-Cooler.
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
the Attn to 9Th and 10th to 14th.
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about the 18th, cross the
west OF Rockies country by close OF
10th. great central valleys 18th to 10th

The warm wave will cross the west
O. Rockies country about the 18th,
great central valleys 18th, eastern
states 18th.
The cool wave will cross the west OF
Rockies country about 18th, great cen.
trail valleys Goth, eastern states 22d.
This disturbance will occur in the
low temperature storm period and the
temperature will average below the
normal of the month. About the dates
covered by this disturbance the coolest
part of the month will be due.
Temperature. Of the week ending 18th
will average about normal and rainfall
will be above the normal.
All the above forecasts are made I'M
der conditions. December, 1896, will be

expected the magnetic forces OF the
earth to be reversed LIST to 9Th. The
peculiar relative positions OF the sun,
earth. and planets are such as to
make it quite difficult to determine on
what date the reversals will occur and
I have deemed it best to give the
weather in its regular order. .
Watch for the reversals and continu-
ing form that date for two or four
weeks the weather changes will be al
most exactly the reverse OF which is
stated in the forecasts of this bulletin.
l do not expect to continue these con-
ditional forecasts as l will soon be able
to correctly calculate the %reversals.
Hope that this will be the last condi-
tional forecast It will be necessary for
me to make.
The weather of January will come In
the regular order, or direct as we call
it to distinguish it from the ~reversals,
February will be full of reversals and
expect to be able to correctly forecast
them.
