A HAndsome Window.

R. b. Burmister has shown his good taste as we'll as ingenuity and skill on sevaral occasions in dressing the big show windows of the big mercantile firm of the Bashford- Burmister company, but he has just excelled himself in this line He has just dressed the window of the grocery department in a amer that excels all attempts in this line in Prescott.
 The bottom of the window is GOV cred with nuts forming the words Merry Christmas" Tiers of cir cular shelves are arranged on the sides, on which are exhibited the most tempting delicacies to be found in the market of the Club House brand. The back ground to these Is in colors of various kinds sur mounted by vines. At the top of the space and we'll back from the glass is cluster of electric light globes of various colors. By an in genious invention of his own, pro pelled by a small electric motor underneath, these are turned on and of automatically. Sometimes only few are burning. At other times all are turned on and again all are turned of, but the lights in the cluster are constantly changing. While this idea Is not new, the con- trivance for securing the electric ef- fects is solely the invention of Mir. Burmister.
 The lights were turned on last evening for the first time and the window attracted a large crowd around it all evening.
 The early closing system has re- quired the turning out of all lights early in the evening, or the return of some one connected with the store later on in the evening to turn them of. To obviate this young Mir. Bur mister has invented an automatic arrangement which turns the cleo tric light button, shutting of the current every evening at 10 o'clock. MT. Burmister promises to become rival of Edison, if he continues in this line.

A sensataon Pxomtsed

SAS FRANolsoo, Dec, 12.-Eugene N. DeupreY, leading counsel for Theodore Durrant, has announced that big sensation will be sprung in the celebrated case within 6 short time. Deuprey says that revelations which he has to make will startle the city more than did the discovery of the bodies in Emanuel church. Though the attorneys language is guarded, he hints unmistakably at an accusation to be preferred against some person other than Durrant. charging that other person with the killing of Blanche Lamont and Min nie Williams. Deuprey said:
 "I cannot tell you now what is working, but it is 6 question of fact rather than of law or technicality. Unless our hopes shall all be wrong We may have a revelation in a few days that will startle this commu- nifty. We may be wrong. We think we are on the track of the truth at last.n

Late Cuban News.

It is officially announced that the Spanish forces under command of General Pando in the province of Principe, has been pushing the in surgent leader, General Maximo Gomez, so closely that he was obliged, with about 200 men of his escort, to seek refuge in the woods and mountains of Los Delicias. The commissioners sent by General Pando to different parts of the island with instructions to negotiate with the insurgents for their acceptance of the autonomous feature of the government proposed by Spain, have not returned in a single case, which seems to confirm the report that some of them have been hanged by the insurgents and that the others have elected to remain with the enemy. It is reported that Juar Delgado, insurgent leader, has hanged the commissioners who were sent to him with peace propositions

 HoN. NJ. A. SMITH, DELEGATE TO CONGRESS, WASHINGTON, D. C., DEAR SIR: We earnestly request you to use your best endeavors to prevent the abandonment of Fort Whipple.

In spite of constant denials 1t is littTe
doubted in official circles that the Ameer
of Afghanistan has had hand IN the
present troubles and that his attitude to-
wards Great Brlta is unfr.endly. It has
been known for months past that the
ameer has been ordering enormous guam
titles of arms and ammunition from
agents in England, and this so attracted
notice of late that his orders were not
executed.
In the meanwhile no news is permit
ted to leak out of Cabul the capital of
Afghanistan. Every mail is closely sc:u-
tinized and all suspected letters are OPEN
ed.
Sir Salter Pine, the ameer's English
right-hand man, has been expected in
England on his annual visit for weeks
past, but no news has been received re-
garding his movements and it IS quite
probable that he is detained at Cabul by
the ameer.

Despite the disappointing result which attended the
