Ida Woosley,

Tho Pleasures msppsd oUt In Boston For
Western Girl
Not long ago while young woman
hailing from a western state was re-
siding in the east she had a slight at
tack of the grip and was much in need
of something to cheer her up. With a
view of securing the needed amuse.
ment she wrote accepting the standing
invitation Of a Boston girl TO spend
a few days at the Hub. When the
time was near for her to leave home
she received letter from her Boston
friend which ran like this:
II think have planned as pleasant
a programme for you, my dear, as
would be possible. You will arrive
Monday morning; that afternoon we
shall attend luncheon of the Quiet
Hour club in your honor at which 30 lit
erary women will be present. Monday
evening we shall Iattend a lecture by
Prof--on The Semitic Races" Tuesday
forenoon we are going to = meeting Of
the Browning club, and in the after.
noon we are booked for q musicale In
behalf of the colored old ladies' home.
Tuesday evening We shall wind up the
two days with lecture by Prof - on
'EsOteric buddhism, which am sure
will be the greatest treat OF the whole
two days"
As soon after the receipt Of thisletter
as she could recover strength enough
to hold a pen the western girl wrote
her friend as follows:
~ am afraid, my dear girl, that you
will have to modify your programme
or else can't come TO you. What lit
tie intellect the grip has left me DOM
propose to wreck in any such manner
as you have arranged for"

THE FIRE COMPANY.

Editor TRIBUNE-I am very much
pleased ct the note OF the Record In its
last issue. Now that is right. But the
Record, claiming to have so much in
terest in the fire department, might
have given more space and said some
thing regarding the way the company
has been treated. Now want to be
plain to those who want and feel the
need of ire department. There are
not enough men in the city willing to
keep the department in running order
unless we have the support of the
men on Main Street. Now, gentlemen
you have heard our last plea. We will
give you one more volunteer chance to
meet with us next Tuesday night, the
25th. If you will come and help us,
we will help you.

it is to be hoped they will endeavOr 10
put stop to the cigarette habit so pre-
vaicnt among our children in PocateI-
10. To see cigarette between the
lips Of boy from eight to fourteen
years OF age is common IN POcateIIo
and should in justice to the boy him
self and to the parents, who are unable
to know what their boys are doing
when away from home, be put q stop
to. The "infanC" who walks around
in falf-dazed condition putting away
at 4 cigarette is totally ignorant Gifts
baneful effects. He does not know
that the drug exercises an influence on
his tender nerves that will make the
use of stronger drug necessary. The
cigarette is probably an innot ent thing
to person who has reached the age OF
maturity and, wisely, does not inhale
the smoke into his system, but the Gig
arctic between the lips of an "infant"
will ies7e its stamp on the coming gen
Grafton of men unless the practice is
abolished. If it were possible to scare
them with night in Jail If they did
not abstain from the practice it might
have the effect OF keeping many a boy
out of the penitentiary and insane asy.

The road will be light and strong and
will be constructed at small outlay.
When the pillars arrive it will be nee
essary only for workmen to plant
them firmly in the ground, and the
Foundation of the roadway will be laid.
The stringing of the three wire ropes
probably will be simple matter, and
the equipment of the power houses to
supply the electric current will entail
but few months work.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT IN A SILVER
CITY NINE.

A very peculiar accident occurred In
the Trade Dollar mine today, one that
has probably never been duplicated in
mining ANIMALS. The accident oc.
cured in a three. accompaniment chute.
One side of the chute is for ore and the
other side for waste, with manway
between them. The waste chute was
empty, while the ore chute was blocked
part way up To loosen the ore Gus
Holtgren, shift boss, went up the man
way. He succeeded in his undertake
ing, but narrowly missed losing his
life in consequence. When the ore
started the conclusion of the air
blew out the contemplate of the ore
chute. 1t not only blew that out but
blew in the center plate of the waste
chute. This covered the manway and
the ore rushed down through the COM
partment devote to waste. Had the
center plate of the ore chute alone been
blown out the ore would have rushed
down the manway and Holtgren must
have necessarily been killed, but he
was saved by the blowing in of the
contemplate of the waste chute

The New Haven Congregational church
was made glad last Sunday morning by the
successful effort Of raising S52o at the close
of the service to eNtinguish a debt of nearly
$500. 4 considerable portion OF this debt
was made in 1892, when it was voted to have
free pews for the ensuing year, and it has
been gradually increasing since then. The
subject Of the sermon by the pastor, Rev. J.
II. Hoffman, was "Benevoence,n and at its
close he spoke Of the church debt and asked
if the congregation would not pledge them
selves to take shares of ten and five dollars.
A few took several shares and many single
ones so that in a few minutes over $500 was
pledged to be paid before Jan. I, 1900. Much
credit is due the pastor for his noble and sue
cessful effort in raising this burden of debt
and thus furthering the welfare of the church
and community.

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal.


The general conditions OF the butter mar
ket are about the same as last week. A little
better undertone has been developed under
the influence of cooler weather and the slight
advance in New York. but the demand for
large lots has not increased and no higher
prices can be obtained. With the exception
OF a few fancy makes 1t is as hard as ever to
hnd buyers for the current receipts.
When the writer started out yesterday to
canvass the market, he had an idea that he
would be able to report somewhat better
ter visiting several houses he came to the
conclusion that there was no material change.
The highest price that most receivers were
willing to quote for regular trade lots of
either Northern of Western fresh creamery
was 81 cents. few, who control certain
popular makes, said they charged their Gus
toners 2l& cents for assorted Sizes but
admitted that if they had to sell on the
open market they could not realize over 81
cents Lots In large tubs were not salable In
most instances at more than 20 to 20% cents.
The advance of half cent in the country
for cheese has stitfened the market here, and
dealers are looking FOR corresponding rise,
but there was not enough buyers on the mar
ket yesterday to test the change. 1t will be
difficult to establish an advance, but unless
receivers are willing to sell at a loss, they
must get higher rate on new arrivals. Sales
in lots as wanted run along at ga to 90 cents,
with 9ls 10 10 cents for finest twins. A regu.
lar selling rate of 90 to 10 cents ould be no
more than reasonable on the basis of cost.
Fresh eggs were in demand and full prices
obtained for the right kind. For the bulk of
the Michigan and Northern Indiana and Ohio
offered at % to "a cents was the rate, but
selected lots brought % cents, and more
could be sold at the same rate. Fresh East
ern "A to 20 cents and fancy new laid at "A
higher range. Refrigerator eggs, 10 to ID
cents.
The poultry market was rather quiet YES.
terday, with fair supply OF turkeys and
chickens, but with cool weather a better
trade is expected toward the close of the
week. The best turkeys were not salable at
oyer Is cents per pound, but fancy Thanks
giving stock may bring higher rate.
