Dewey, before he would agree to &C.

them q promise that they would con

THAT TIE negroes of Virginia are at
last becoming tired of the tricks that

by the fact that those of Elizabeth City,
"a which they have g large majority,
have just nominated county ticket
composed entirely OF members OF their
own race, the name OF no white man
being on it. Judging from tie ex-
psrience of the past, however, it is

the assassination of his father, the late

murder Mrs Terriss was sitting in the
drawing room of the Cottage, Bedford
park, the late actors home, with pet
dog-an intelligent fox terrier called
Davie, after Mr. Terriss' favorite part
of Lieutenant David Kingsley in 1.-The
Harbor Lights - comfortably asleep
upon her lap.
Messrs. William and Tom Terriss, the
sons, were also in the room. The clock
marked 20 minutes past 7, when sud
denly, without the slightest warning,
the dog leaped from Mrs. Terriss' lap
and dashed frantically about the room,
yelping, swapping and showing all the
signs of a paroxysm of mingled rage
and fear. The behavior of Davie was so
extraordinary that it seriously upset
Mrs. Terriss for the remainder OF the
evening. 1t was exactly at 20 minutes
past z that Mr.. Terriss was murdered.

NOT USING THE STOVEPlPE,


Inspectors Instructions.
A day or two ago Fire Inspector
Sharp entered a shoe shop in a Broad
street basement for the purpose of max
ing an inspection. The owner of the
shop is an old negro man who has
known Inspector Sharp for many years,
and he was highly delighted at the
honor bestowed upon him. When he
was informed that the stoyepipe was III
such fix that it might set the building
on fire and was told not to use it any
longer, he entered no protest and said
"No, sab, Marse Sharp; she sho
gwinter come down dis day.
A few lines on Inspector Sharp's
notebook told of the condemnation of
the f1ue, and he went on his way, Civ
ing no further thought to this particu'
lar case.
A short while afterward man pass
ing along the street stopped in front OF
the building under which the shop is
located. He smelled something burning,
but passed on, thinking it was smoke
from locomotive. Then another man
stopped. He saw smoke coming through
the sidewalk grating. He pointed it out
to another, and then crowd gathered.
The smoke increased and was seen issu-
ing from the building above the side
walk. Some one suggested sending an
alarm. Others opposed this, and COM
promise was arranged by which Assist
ant Chief Cummings was telephonod for
and the crowd made committee of the
whole to investigate the cause of the
smoke.
They walked down the steps Of the
shoeshop, and when they opened the
door they were almost blinded by the
dense smoke. In the middle of the floor
sat the shoemaker hard at work. In
front of him was the i'll fated stove. A
hot fire was roaring in it, and from all
sides black smoke was issuing. There
was no stovepipe to convey the smoke
to the flue. The pipe was lying in a
corner and was bent and broken.
"Great Scott, old man - exclaimed
a committeeman. "Why don't you put
your stovepipe up and let the smoke
out? Here, give me lift, and | will

front of him, exclaiming:

"But look at that smoke, old man.
You will smoke every body in the build

was urged Don't you know you can't

put up the pipe.

At this juncture Assistant Chief

on the scene and explained to the old

Ancient Volcanoes.

To France belongs the merit OF hav-
ing laid the foundations of the system
attic study of ancient volcanoes. AS
far back as the year 1862 Guettard rec
ognized that the Puys of Auvergne were
volcanic cones that had poured forth
streams of lava. But it was reserved to
Desmarest IL years later to examine the
question in detail and to establish the
investigation of former volcanic action
upon broad and firm basis of careful
observation and sagacious inference. He
discovered that the volcanoes of central
France were not all of one age, but had
made their appearance in long SERIES
whereof the individual members became
less perfect and distinct in proportion
to their antiquity. While these fruitful
researches were in progress in France
others of hardly less moment were ad-
yaucing in Scotland. Hutton, as part
of his immortal Theory of the Earth, -
had conceived the idea that much mol
ten material had been injected from be-
low into the terrestrial crust, and he
had found many proofs of such intru-
sion among the rocks of his native
country. His observations, confirmed
and extended by Playfair and Hall and
subsequently by Macculloch, opened up
the investigation of the subterranean
phases of ancient volcanic action. Sir

A Horse That Climbs Trees.

Dan Berry, the well known horse
owner of this city, has made great hit
in purchasing an ordinary looking nag
in the southern part OF the state. 1t ap-
pears that the owner was glad to get rid
of it and thought he was doing smart
thing in working it off on Dan, but the
latter is going to turn the deal to his
own account, for the animal is Won
der. 1t is nothing more or less than
climbing horse.
1t was foaled in the woods of an I'M
settled part of Brown county, and for
six months afterward it never saw hui
man being. During that period it learn
ed to climb trees with the agility OF a
squirrel and when it was first discov-
cred it lay sleeping in the branches of a
large oak. The horse was taken home
and broken to drive, and now in every
other respect it is a we'll behaved ami
nal except when it takes notion to
CHIMP tree, and no matter whether
hitched up or not up the tree it goes,
buggy and all
A few days after coming here the
horse was hired by John Peterson and
John Heeler for a drive into the coun-
try The drivers were passing through
a large woods when the horse suddenly
took notion to climb tree, and up 1t
went with the buggy and men. The
latter fell out but the horse went on up
into the tree, carrying the buggy with it.
For three hours the boys tried to coax
it down, but it staid up until its desire
was satisfied. The buggy was badly
broken, and the boys came back with
the horse, but left the fragments of the
vehicle behind them. Mr.. Berry Will
sell the horse to a circus. Chicago
