Bidding for extras at &c is extensive,
but manufacturers are refusing to sell
any large extent. Odd goods are quiet

the articles the Turk agrees to gain
four consecutive falls alternately from
Burns and Rooney within ninety min

Burns or Rooney gains a fall, or if
Aiaii fails to throw each OF the men
twice, the match will 20 to the two

How to Win on m Tosx.

Spinning a silver dollar and then
guessing heads or tails is a favorite
medium for small wagers among the
crowd in the.alley behind the Cotton
Exchange. She other day young bro
ker mystified everybody by producing n
coin that invariably settled down heads
up no matter who did the spinning 1t
was some little time before this pecul-
iarity was observed, and then there was
q general demand for the secret. Some
suggested that the piece was loaded,
which was secuted as a self evident i'm
possibility, and close scrutiny failed to
reveal anything unusual about it.
''I'll tell you how it's done, boys, :"
said the cwner at length, "but kes the
scheme dark. All that is necessary is to
pass file few times around the edge,
so as to put on a slight bevel. 1t can't
be seen. but the coin will fall ON the
beveled side every time as sure as fate
It's a good idea, by the way, to have
two in your pocket-one fixed for heads
and one for tails- a steady run is al
ways suspicious, you know, and you can
shift 'em occasionally. New Orleans

head at intervals as if disappointed il
her search. Finally her face lightened
as she saw a loaded notice in another
column Of more pretensiOns than its fell

She turned to it and read eagerly
Then she threw the paper from her.

with her.

the sheet and handed it over 10 the 9TH

English women laugh not according to
their race, bat according TO their caste,
as caste has lately been revised and re-
distributed. 1t may be said that in caste
also the treble note, the ready, the i'm
mediate, fits up to its own place-the
top-and Is audible there, for all its
slender quality.-Collier' Weekly.

The English Inn.

The cheap place in which to live is
like the typical old English inn that
my American friends are continually
asking me to find for them. 1 found it
the other day, and, as the point of this
incident lies entirely in its truth, give
names and addresses
cycled my American friend over the
hills from Croydon to the little hamlet
of Little Warlingham, and there we
ran into the courtyard of an inn named
the Leather Bottle, which designa-
ton had an old world flavor that de-
lighted the man from New York. We
had there mast excellent lunch, and
ile charge was Is pence instead of the
usual half crown.
Ny friend was enthusiastic and re-
solved to have the innkeeper up and
compliment him on the choiceness and
cheapness of his viands. l begged him
not to do this, as he might raise the
price, and a lunch at one and six is q
boon to literary man, but my advice
was unheeded. The proprietor when he
came received the praise of the Ameri-
can calmly.
"Well," said the innlleeper, 81 guess
ought to know how to set out a meal
so suit enc from the States. For five
years l was steward on w. K. Wander
bits yacht. was on her at the time
she was sunk at Newport. -
You may imagine the collapse of my
western friend, who had fiattered him
self that he was several centuries away
from New York and Newport.

4 Mine Horror.

Poteau, Dec. 13.-Last night ter
rifle explosion occurred at the Indian
ola IL Pathway Coal company's mine.
Five are known to have been killed,
and % more buried in the shaft. There
seems little hope of rescuing the en-
tom bed miners, as the explosion liter
ally rent the subway asunder.
St. Louis, Dec. 13.-Advices to the
Associated Press from Fort Smith,
Ark, are that only two men were
killed in the explosion in the coal
mine at Poteau. Indian territory. 1t
is believed they were the only men in
the mine at the time.
