Death Of Miss Finlay.

The many friends OF Miss Maggie Fin
lay and family were more than shocked to
hear OF her death last night at the Calu.
met hospital. Although it was known
that her condition was very serious II
was thought that she would be able to
recover from the shock OF the operation,
which was performed some two weeks ego
The deceased had been suffering from
a cancerous stomach for some time and
it was thought that an operation would
result In greatly benefiting her. She was
getting along very nicely until Saturday
night when she was taken suddenly woree
and from then until she breathed her
last there we're little hopes entertained
for her recovery.
Miss Finlay was but 10 years OF age
and was well known and had very large
circle OF friends among the young people
OF the city who learn with deep regret of
her taking of in the prime OF young
womanhood.
The funeral will leave the house tomor-
row afternoon at 2 o'clock, with the ser
vices at the Presbyterian church. The
remains will be inferred at Lake View
cemetery,

One OF the most pleasant surprise
parties OF the season was the one tend
cred Mrs. Patrick Kerns at her home on
the corner OF Oak and Fourth streets last

thing in readiness for the guests. Mrs.
Kerns acknowledged having had an ink

the guests arrived.
At any rate the guests spent most

all had good time lie putting it exceed
ingly mildly. Dancing was the order OF
the evening for most OF the guests aud

Will Be the Contest
Between King and
RoWett.
Will Not BE "a Fake Affair.


it's rarely that a sporting event a
any kind attracts ss much attentiOn as
does the wrestling match between King
and Rowelt which comes of next Satur-
day evening. Everywhere il is being
talked about and the interest that is
taken In the result is very considerable.
Rowett is expected here from the iron
country this afternoon. He is known to
be in the prime of good condition and
will enter the ring in fine shape. Old
wrestlers hereabouts seem TO think that
King will win the match, but Rowett's
friends point to the fact that although
King has good advantage in weight
which il will be hard for Rowett TO over
come, he is not as apt 10 get played" as
il King and as il is sure to be a long
drawn out battle and where about every
hitch known to the science will be brought
into play, this will stand him in good
stead and may be the means OF winning
him the match.
There are always sone who will decry
a match OF this kind and there already a
few who say II will be fake. To these
the management of the match state very
plainly that il anyone is not satisfied at
the close that the match was on the
square" and that they had their moneys |
worth they can get it back at the box
Office. 1t is very certain that the contest |
will be hard fought and that there will be
no fake. Anyone who knows Rowett |
at all knows he has too much pride about /
him to give bis back until he has to,
besides the editor has Kings word he
will do all he can to win. and it would
be o. no advantage to either man to fake
as there will be too many old Cornish
wrestlers on hand to let thing OF that
kind go by without noticing it.
There is no little talk OF a match be-
tween Bob Gilbert and Tim Driscoll OF
Hancock. Gilbert is now working in the
Osceola mine and is said to be anxious
to meet the heavy man from Hancock.
They were matched at the Hancock tour
nament last summer and it was the
hardest fought contest OF the day. They
tugged and pulled at each other for
many hours and it was anyb dy's con-
test until the last moment when Gilbert
won out.
Driscoll has many friends in Hancock
who are confident that he can best Gil
bert and are willing to put up money to
back their opinions. match between
these two could not be anything but
square as the men are any thing but per-
sonal friends

COLORED WONDER DEAD.
Gold Time With Shut Eyes by Finger in

Gold Time with Shut Eyes by Finger in
Far
From the telegraph service we learn
with sincere regret that the colored
gentleman who was able to tell the eY-
act time of day by placing one finger
in his ear and closing his eyes is dead.
His demise occurred somewhere down
east, and the news dispatch very natu-
rally mentions the fact that his loss is
deeply deplored in the community
which was proud to hold him as its
own. All, yes, while other towns are
bright and gay in holiday merriment,
this one particular town-it is some
where in Ohio, if we recollect correctly
is deep powered and meshed in
gloom. There is no Christmas Joy
there and no New Year revelry. The
man who could tell time by ramming
a finger into his ear is gone to that
bourne where the stopoyer privilege is
permanent and whence return trans
portatiOn is not given or sold. NO
longer can the town butcher regulate
his old-fashioned silver watch by the
auriculaT- dlgital device once so handy;
nevermore will the boy playing truant
from school be able to gain from his
ancient cOlored friend information as
to the distance of time TO 4 O'Clock,
when it must be his art to hasten home
quite innocent: the bystanders at the
railroad station now be deprived Of the
delight of figuring upon just how late
the accommodation train is, un4ess one
less lazy than the rest is willing to
groan his indolent way inside and look
at the recluse clock in the agents Of
fee Yes, the loss is great
But the little Ohio town-if it is an
Ohio town-must not give way to per-
petual grief. Great men have died and
great men shall yet die. Napoleon
passed away, and Washington side
stepped into the hereafter, much
m0urned by his people. Caesar, Rame-
ses, Josephus and the man who smote
bl4ly Patterson are all authoritatively
reported to be dead, and yet the world
wags on. Shakespeare, Cromwell,
Charlemagne and King Kalakau have
vanished from life, but the sphere rolls
hopefully on. Let the town of the
man Of the ear cheer up, therefore. Let
it not sink sodden into egotistic grief
Let it possess optimism. Perhaps
some day a man who can tell the fu-
ture price Of May wheat by standing
on his head and waving his left leg
westward will come along and settle
Record.

This continued for a While, then
of the continuous striking they moved
more sinuously and began to take long,
curving and indescribably graceful
poises, swinging back and forth to the
rhythm of the music; as this grew
slower they settled down in large coils,
and all the excitement and Kissing was
over. Indeed had we not seen their
positions first, it would have been diff
cult to detect their presence in the
room, SO still had they become. Then
the music and the motions Of the man
grew quieter, slower, and finally
ceased. He looked critically round the
room, went and touched the heads of
one or two OF the brutes caressingly
then reached for black bottle, and as
he raised his face to drink we saw it
hand was trembling SO he could scarce
hold the bottle. He caught sight of
our faces peering down, pulled himself
together, then-"Hello, you chaps. Did
you see him? Come down and have
drink"
AS far as we could gather, Mr.. Bur-
glar must have had pretty bad
fright; he seems to have clamored
down from the side top light-of
course being unaware of the eccentrici-
ties of genius. The snakes evidently
spied him, just as he caught sight Of
them. What he thought while half
way down the wall, on seeing a score
of serpents coming for him we'll never
know; but it resulted in a howl of
terror, which woke Melton; who, it ap-
pears, not only made habit of letting
out his least venomous pets at night
for exercise. but had "Buz''-the big
boa that had scared me-sleeping in his
blankets for warmth. On hearing the
shout he jumped up, catching "Buz"
at the same time, and parting the cane
hanglngs before his bed, stepped out.
The man, of course, saw him, and it
doubtless did not serve to allay his
terror to see that gaunt spectre in the
dim light with that big snake coiled
round him. He howled again and
scrambled, and, fortunately, got up;
if he'd fallen back-ugh.
The next day my curiosity led me to
pay visit to Melton's room. On en-
tering, found Bessie there, sitting in
hammock, and appearing very much
