LADY OR THE CONDUCTOR.
Open Question as to Which Was
Duped by the Male Passenger.

Duped by the Male Passenger.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
The conductor on a Madison street
cable had taken up the fares and was
posing on his end of the car when a
man approached him, and pointing to
a woman in one Of the front seats,
asked:
See that woman?"
Yes" answered the official in the
customary surly tone. What Of her?''
I'll bet you dollar that if you ask
her for her far again she'll pay it,
MOT much! It's hard work to get one
fare out of women passengers, let alone
two"
Bet you a dollar"
The &C rductor looked uneasy. I'D
get fired" he said, land lose my Job.
The woman would report me-"
mo, she wouldn't. That woman is
my wife, and l want to set off a joke
on her, she's so absent-minded. Go
ahead and win the bet.''
''All right" said the conductor, and
as he passed through the car he stop
ped in front Of the passenger and held
out his hand.
Fare please"
He had an apology on the tip of his
tongue, but after one glance at him
the woman said oh" and opening
her pocketbool1 produced nickel,
which she laid in his hand. He went
back to the man who had phompted
him and said: There! I've won the
bet.'
I'll bet another dollar that you can
collect fare third time" said the man.
The blood of the conductor was UP.
"l never take a dare" he said. but
if you weren't her husband I'd see YOU
further before I'd risk her catching
me at it,
He waited until the cars had gone on
six blocks further and some new pas
sengers boarded them. when he collect
ed their fares and held out his hand to
the absent-minded woman.
Fare, please"
She looked at him in a dazed way.
Haven't 1 paid my fare? Why, how
funny and searching in her pocket
book she found another nickel and gave
it to him.
Wiping the perspiration from his
hardened brow, the conductor went
back to the man on the platform. "Give
these to your wife," he said, 'I haven't
any right to Them" and he laid two
nickels in the mans hand, land I'll
take my So
But he didn't. The man swung him
self off the car and disappeared up a
side street, and now the conductor
would give 81 to know whether he was
worked for the price of a drink, and
If the woman was hypnotized, or if it
was a bet between two outside parties,
or what sort of put-up scheme it was
anyway.

FOOLED THE HAWK.
Flock of Pigeons Measured Brains
and Came Out Ahead


From the New York Alliance.
An observing Southern sportsman
told recently about a flock of pigeons
that measured brains with a hawk and
come out ahead. H S. Edwards owned
flock Of pigeons which one day were
cut off from their cote by a large hawk.
The pigeons knew that, If the hawk
once got above them, one at least of
their number would go to make a meal
for him, and so UP they flew In cir
cles, going higher than the hawk. The
latter kept under the pigeons, and
leisurely followed their laborious move
ments.
Then came curious and unexpected
sight to Mr.. Edwards. Every pigeon
closed it's wings, and they appeared to
be the size of sparrows, and down they
came past the hawk. He actually dodg-
a dozen wing strokes before he cot IN
full chase of them. When he got down
to the barnyard not a pigeon was In

sight-some were in the cote. some in
the porch, two in the well-house and
one in the kitchen. The hawk had been
outWltted completely. 1t is question
how the pigeons managed to check
their fall, as they did not slacken up
TIL they were about fifteen or twenty
feet above the ground, when they scat
tered in all directions to escape the
hawk

The stock markets here opened dull today,
then rallied slightly, but finally closed fat
on the political situation. Business here, so
far as the public is concerned is quite at a
standstill, and is likely to remain so until
some definite turn comes in the political stu

and are contracting speculation to the mar
rowest limits. The London market discount

For UNCLE Sam to assume a war
like attitude towards Spain because
our Battleship was lost in her waters,
would be about as dispicable an ex-
hibition of bravado MS that of the
French Government last year in
sending the Mediterranean fleet to
lombard the cities of San Domingo or,
the German Kaiser Illuminating his
ultimatum against the little repub-
lie OF Haiti. Not that Spain is
weak, but because we cannot afford
to "pick quarrel" in order to rob
her of her possessions.

A DOUBLE CRIME.

The mob that murdered the COL
ored postmasters at Lake City, S. g.,
committed double crime-a crime
against the law of God, and the
country, and crime against the
people of the South who must bear
the odium of the horrid deed.
Granted that Colored postmasters
should not be appointed in commu-
mites where race prejudice is as
strong as in South Carolina or Geor-
gia; even then there is nothing to
palliate the action of the mob for
their savage fefocity made no dis
tinction between The freedman who
dared to accept an office and his in
nocent babe. Not only on account
of the net itself which rivals in bar
barous cruelty the worst deeds of
the savage, but for the added reason
that L whole section is held respon-
sible, should this bloody deed be
slgnally avenged by the law whi;h
it outraged.

A GRAVE ERROR.

"A northern newspaper charges
that the former slave owners are
responsible for such crimes as tina,
which is now the theme Of such
wide discussion. This is q grave
error, the cd slave owners and
their sons and grandsons are the
best friends of the negroes. Not
man of that class participated
in the Lake City lynching. They
may be III sense responsible for
lawlessness that they fail to re.
press or prevent, Int unless Baker
had committed some heinous crime
he was absolutely safe from injury
from this class. If there is an i'm.
vestigatiOn and the lynchers are
identified they will he found to
belong to the "Cracker' element
who hate the negro because the
negro dcspises them.

LATEST NEWS.

The latest intelligence from Wash
ington, from Key West and from
Havana is of the most reassuring
kind. There is not the remotest
probability of war with Spain
growing out of the Maine disaster.
SPANS disavowal of completely in
the destruction of the battleship &C.
cording to international usage must
be accepted as absolute and final.
There is possibility, however, that
an indemnity may be demanded, if
the court of enquiry should deter
mine that the Spanish authorities
through negligence or otherwise
contributed to the disaster. This
would be n subj ect for diplomatic
negotiation.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER.

1t isn't often that you find one
newspaper selecting another as a
subject of culogy, but there is one
journal III the United States which
we admire above others because
1t has all the virtues of the best
of its contemporaries and none of
their blemish es. Republican in
principle it has done more to ele-
vate the tone of its party than any
one agency. 1t does impartial
justice to William Mckinley, VIM.
j. Bryan and Grover Cleveland.
and is known among men as the
WashingtOn Post. 1t never con.
tanned line that would offend
a cultivated taste. 1t has no fads
makes no vulgar display, and
its only avcrsions are hypocrites
and blatherskites. If asked to
designate the most reliable, most
readable, and the cleanest news
paper among the great dailics we
would unhcsitatingly, name the
Post.

THE WATER TAX.

Now that the new water works
are completed Tazewell can boast, of
a bountiful supply of fine wholesome
pure water. The next thing to do
is to pay for it. The cost of the
entire work was about $4,000. About
$4,000 of this amount was provided
for by the issuance of bonds, the
whole amount however. must be
paid by taxation. The question of
water tax, therefore, becomes of i'm.
portauce to the town. Whether the
present system of taxation is the
best or not has been raised, and will
probably be considered by the Coun.
Gil. 1t seems to us that, in order to
make the system effective there
should be IL Superintendent of the
water works appointed, whose bust
ness it should he to give special at
tentlon to this branch of the town
government. The water tax should
be collected quarterly, and each citi-
zen called upon to pay for the water
he uses. The revenue from this
source ought to be much larger than
it is, and would be if properly look
ed after. The tax for watering
stock from the hydrants is not col
lected closely, if at all. 1t seems
only just and equitable that the cit
liens who use the town water for
their stock should pay for the same
and IL competent man to look after
This and the whole water business,
seems to us IL necessity. We COM
mend this question to the consider
alton of the Town Council.
