ENGLISH ODDITIES.
A Township Which Has Only One
Reaidcut.

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township in England is that of Skid
daw in Cumberland. 1t contains but
one house, the occupier of which is un-
able to exercise the Briton's privilege
of voting because there is no overseer to
prepare a voters list and no church or
other place of worship or assembly on
which to publish one, says Pearson's
Weekly.
The most remote village in England
is that of REORGANIZATION. This
truly rural spot is 30h miles from the
nearest railway station. AS a contrast
TO this may be mentioned the hamlet of
Gstrad. about ten miles from Cardiff.
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
y very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley, small village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the
parish two churches are to be seen.
Service is conducted three times
week in each of these churches at the
same hour.
The deepest well in England is found
at Hamilton. in Hamps hire. It stretches
$50 feet below the surface of the earth.
About halfway down this well shaft
is a subway, three miles in length,
which leads to the seacoast.
On the top of the parish church tower
in Bicknoller. Somersetshire, is a yew
tree, now five feet high and still. grow
ing in a hardy fashion. 1t is generally
believed that the tree owes it's origin
to seed dropped by bird.
Perhaps the most splendily decorated
church in the kingdom is that of Whit
ley Court, Worcestershire. 1t is en- tirely
constructed of white marble, the pews
are chastely carved and the pulpit is Of
genuine Carrara marble, richly paneled
with precious stones.
On the village green at Meriden. in
Warwickshire, there is a large stone
cross. which is supposed to mark the
central point of England.

THE POW WOW.

Demo-Pops Gather From All Quarters
and Name County Ticket.
The unterri6ed and enthusiastic dis
ciples of w. j. Bryan and the Chicago
platform arrived in the city Tuesday
in countless droves-proo baby about
one hundred of them, and with the
assistance of General Warner nominal
ed county ticket. The convention
met at the Court House, was called
to order by Chairman Richardson, of
the County Executive Committee, and
was presided over by Mr.. 3. F. Maiden,
who delivered an eloqent off hand
address tinged with all the colors of
the rainbow of promise, and which
seemed to give the delegates present
great cheer During his remarks the
Chairman stated that he had not been
given time to prepare speech and
submit it to the powers that be, and
thats the convention must there
fore be satisfied with "a few indefinite
remarks. From the general express
sian, it was understood that it was.
Mr.. Maidenhoped that the coming battle
would wind up in manner pleasant
to those assembled, presumably with
white hearse, silver trimmings and
profusion of flowers. He stated that
no states had been prepared except
Richardson which, by the way, was
broken early in the frav and eXhOrted
his friends to enter the fight with the
same idea as last year, that they
could afford to be defeated.
In all seriousness, Mr. Maiden made
good chairman, but most of his
delegates were unused to creating
representatives. Treasurers, &c, off
hand and the work moved very slowly.
About four o'clock the work of nomi-
mating the following ticket was COM
pleted, the resolution reaifirming the
vicious and un-American principles of
the Chicago platform having been
meanwhile adopted.

DEMOCRATIC DRIFT.

Two years ago ALA Winsor, one OF
the brightest and best fellows in the
world, was thrown in the breach for
Representative, much against his will,
but he took up the heavy cross and
made good fight for his party. Mr..
Winsor father was a Democrat before
him, and both father and son have
been prominent in the party yet when
the managers dream of slender
chance of getting hold of John Nc
Leans Doodle, they inhumanly turn
Mr.. Winsor down for man who was a
Republican and turned his coat only d
year ago. Good politics that.
Hon. j. D. Payne, who was a loyal
soldier of the rebellion, voted for Abra-
ham Lincoln and has been a consistent
free-silver man since long before Coe
was voter, got "a votes for Repre-
sentative out of POS. The love of the
Democratic party for the old soldier is
truly affecting.
Last wear j. D. Payne lent his name
to the Democrats as a candidate for
Probate Judge and took to them his
influence as Populist. This year he
gets it in the neck, because the Popu-
list organization has been destroyed
and the Democrats fear it no longer,
having usurped its principles along
with it's own more reprehensible ones.
John A. Hamilton was soldier, too,
and Mr.. Payne's cold corpse had scarce
ly drt pped into the political grave
for it before Mr.. Hamilton's
ifeless anatomy came tumbliug in
lfter it. They give nc quarter-these
ioldier-loving followers of the Chicago
'latform.

superintendent John B. Smith, of the
Central park menagerie at New York
the other day found in the rhinoceros
cage his large black cat Snyder, which
had been missing for a week. While
going through the elephant house in
which Smiles, the old rhinoceros, is
kept, Superintendent Smith saw the
missing cat curled up in the hay beside
the big beast, and the rhinoceros was
licking the cats fur with its tongue.
Superintendent Smith watched the pair
for time and tried to coax the cat
out, but it would not leave Smiles. 4
keeper informed him that the two had
struck up strong friendship in the
past week, and when the rhinoceros was
asleep the cat would frequently perch
itself on Smiles back and keep watch.
"In its native state" explained Super
intendent Smith, "a bird known to hun
ters as the rhinoceros bird keeps watch
over the rhinoceros when sleeping, and
pecl;s at its ears to arouse it at the ap-
proach of danger. Nature. perhaps, is
working on the same lines in bringing
Smiles and Snyder together; but it's
queer friendship, and l shall not dis
turb it,"

WEyLER'S ORDERS,

The extreme distress of Cuban farmers
is due in great measure to General
Weyler's order, commanding the people
to leave their homes and camp in and
around the towns and cities of the island. Z.
Among other absurd things ordered and
commanded by the captain general was
this:
"The transport of food from the towns,
and the carrying of food from one place
to another by sea or by land, without the
permission of the military authorities OF
the place of departure, is absolutely for
bidden. Those who infringe upon this
order will be tried and punished as aiders
and abettors of the rebellion"
Only eight days were given the people
to fee from their homes, by this auto
cratic bungler and cold blooded butcher,
whose atrocious conduct on the island
will follow him through as a haunting
memory of blood and crime.
This creature has not one redeeming
quality. He has accomplished absolutely
nothing and has proven himself mill
tary bungler of the worst sort. His
course has been a series of childish
blunders all the way through, and he is
Just about where he started.

The decision of an Illinois court award
ing damages to the amount of $50 to
Chicago cement company for losses to
property during the great railroad strike
of 1894, under an act passed in 1887, which
makes the city responsible for the loss OF
property by reason of strikes or riots, is
a most important ruling. 1t is not the
amount involved, but the precedent Great
ed by this ruling is likely to become
serious thing for Chicago. Railroads and
other corporations doing business in the
windy city have already, upon the strength
OF this ruling, instituted suits to the
amount of about million and half.
But this is only triie in comparison to
the amount involved in the great strike.
If the Interpretation Of this act of 1887 is
good law then it logically follows that
Chicago has big bill to settle growing
out of the strike of 1894, the amount of
which will run far into the millions.

The contention of certain people as TO
how the new capitol building shall
front reminds US of the residence of Mark
Twain at Hartford. This is an impos-
ing structure with fine front opening
upon the back yard. The two back doors
of the house open upon the street-a
broad and we'll shaded thoroughfare lined
with handsome residences. The effect as
may be supposed is striking in the ex-
treme, and about the same effect would
be produced by giving the capitol build,
ing frontage to the west. 1t would Ger.
tainly be funny thing to do, if that is all
that is wanted.

RAINFALL In NEW MEXICO.

"New Mexico," says the Pueblo Chief
tain, "has just had an immense fall of
rain. The news ought to be sent ous
everywhere and published broadcast that
New Mexico had immense quantities of
snow in the winter and is now receiving
liberal rains, in order that the supposi-
tion may be counteracted that it is a
rainless and barren country. Not only
does the mountainous portion of New
Mexico receive about as much moisture
as southern Colorado, the source of 80
many streams and rivers, but 1t is better
prepared to store and make use of the
water IL does secure. The artificial reser-
voirs and dams in New Mexico are numer-
ous and very extensive"

Reflections of a Bachelor.

When woman really loves man she
can never admit to herself that she is dis
appointed in him.
The enmity which an old maid has for
men in married woman is generally di
rected against the moths.
Women may point the finger of scorn at
o man, but when it's woman they go up
close and poke her with it.
When girl wears u cheap dress, she al
ways lets on to the other girls that she
spends lot on what they don't see.
The average girl never gets more than
one chance to get married, because she's
always SO afraid she won't get any more.
