A Novel Inquiry.
The Boston journal Wants to be Ac-

The Boston journal Wants to be Ac-
quainted With More of Its Readers.
A novel inquiry has been made by the
Boston journal of its readers. The lead
ing Republican daily of New England
desires closer acquaintance with its
10000 subscribers. 1t already knows
them "a a body. 1t has had long and
abundant experience of their intelligence,
patriotism and steadfastness, but it is a
misfortune of modern daily journalism
that with broadened scope and vastly in
creased patronage the daily newspaper
loses touch with the individual reader.
By the wholesale methods of dstribu-
ton the journal has on its books the
names of abont 5000 subscribers who re-
ceve the papers in single wrappers di-
rectly from the office. This number is
far larger than the corresponding list of
any other Boston paper. 1t is probable
that it is larger than the combined lists of
all the other Boston dailies, aud yet it is
but little more than 6 per cent of the
Journals total circulation. To learn the
names and tastes of the buyers of the
$4,000 papers circulated daily by agents
and newsboys the Journal has inaugural
ed the first daley newspaper census ever
undertaken. A blank was published
with questions for the readers to answer,
and the result promises TO be of unusual
value. 1w

Sheep for South America.

Owing to the arbitrary rules Of the
Australian government, American sheep
are still practically excluded from the
colony despite the proclamation of the
Governor General of N. S. Wales, who
on January IL, 1897 decreed that sheep
from the United States shipped from the
port of New York would be admitted.
As there is no line OF steamships sailing
from New York to Australia direct, and
as the Agent Genera of New South Wales
at London says that American sheep for
Australia shall be shipped from the port of
New York only, and the Board of Agri-
culture at London refuses to grant permit
to transfer sheep at that port to outgoing
Australian steamers. The several Yer
mont parties who were anticipating making
shipments TO Australia are consequently
barred out for the time being One of
these shippers Mr. Z. y Bissel OF East
Shoreham. Vermont, will sail from New
York May 8 per SIS Merida of the
Norton Line for Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, with twenty stud rams selected
from the crack foCks of the country.
Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton, Pa.
bore her iWrutN-four years OF Sui1rrlDg
with courage and fortirude. Her trouble
was rheumatism in the knee. In con-
sequence her limb had become so stiff
that she could hardly walk. Mr. Stamm
Is well-to-do merchant. and had spared
no pains or expense to relieve her, hut
with little succo s., until one night when
it grew 50 painful that she could hardly
endure il, be persuaded her to try
Chambell,in's Pain Balm. The effect
was magical. The first application re-
lievcd the pain. and its continued use has
removed all stiffness and given her the
free use of her limb once more. If you
have friends who are troubled with
rheumatism insist on their giving this
remedy trial. You can do them no
greater favor, as it il sure to give
prompt relief, and if Thy are IA little

sible for the city attorney to take Of
fense. The other members then ex-
planned their attitude on the matter, the
discussion consuming fifteen minutes OF
more Mr.. Dunn stated to the council
that he had never been asked to take
part in the case, and as the city was not
one of the parties to the action he could
not now take part in the effort to com
bat the proposed action of the Southern
Pacific without Intervening in the action
on behalf of the city. This he said he
was very willing to do, provided he was
so instructed. He said the city had new
er been interested in the action, and that
there was nothing in his office to show
that any of the former city attorneys
had ever taken any action in regard tc
1t. In response to question as to what
an intervening petition would cost, he
stated that there would be but little cos;
attached to the matter, but it would en-
tail great amount of work. The reso.
luton was then adopted and when the
case is called the city of Los Angeles
will be party to it, as the work Of pre-
pairing the intervening petition has al.
ready been commenced.

A ragged bullet hole" one similar to

Attorney Ach. as we'll as the Police De-

the bullet-hole in Isaac Hoffman's hat
was made, or rather the distance the
pistol which sent the leaden missile
through it was held when fired. Yester-
