Working ON Front Street.

After finishing the laying of the
mains on High street preparatory to
the street paving the men have start
ed in on Front street and it will soon
be dug up from one end to the other.
The property owners here as well as
on High street should connect their
lots with the sewers and other places
with which they should be connected
whether they have houses on their
lots or not. 1t will be troublesome
and expensive to take up the pave
ments after they have once been put
down and the council is expected
to go very slow in the granting of per-
mission to do this.

jump half out OF your boots?
Why is it that just as you think

goes wrong and you get remarkably
superfluous sister instead?
Why is it that just as you're get

fall down a coal cellar?
Why is it that just when you've got
dead sure thing to prophesy about

Why is it when you're starting out
to show some other fellow how to ride

THE TEXAS GETS AN
 UNUSUAL WELCOME.
People at Brooklyn Greet the Battle ship as She Entered the Harbor-wm
 Be Doeked and Repaired.

New York, Aug. 2.-Back from the coast of Cuba, battle scared and pow der stained and punctured in spots with her formidable guns bristling in the sum- light and her officers and crew laughing and cheering like school boys on a holi- day trip, the United States battleship Texas, Captain j. w Phillips in com mand, steamed slowly up the lower bay from Sandy Hook Sunday on her way to the Brooklyn hayward amid salvos of greeting from the thousands of peo- pie who crowded the decks of the out ward bound excursionists.
 Salutations of welcome came from all sides. Every vessel that boasted q steam whistle let it shriek for all it was worth. The sailing vessels were also in evidence and the silent dipping of the colors aboard the pleasure yachts, while not so demonstrative as the shrill notes from the steamers was equally effective. The cheers of the excursionists and passen- gers on the numerous ferry boats was taken up by the people who watched the black painted warship from the New York and Brooklyn shore and the brave sailors responded with waiving caps and handkerchiefs
 Captain J. ". Philip was on the bridge directing the course of the Texas. When he reached the navyyard the dock x,yoS oro,xr,j od with n1,1a iaolva4e a,,d ,,,o rines who greeted their fellows with fu- rious enthusiasm and welcomed them back with joyous cheering.
 Willing hands did the work of secur- ing the vessel to her moorings at the dock and as soon as the gangways were placed in position hundreds of relatives of the men rushed aboard to embrace those who had fought so nobly and sue. cessfully i'll the cause of humanity
 The general outward appearance of the big floating fort showed that the Texas had had rough time of it, and a close inspection revealed the places where the shells of the dons had pene- trated the port bow and starboard su- perstructure
 The firing of the port turret gun across the upper deck shook the vessel considerably and she will need 6 gener- eral oyerhauling, as her decks and SUD- ports have been loosened.
 All the sailors who were seen said that the Texas was 8 wonderful ship and her record off Cuba had laid all doubts at rest as to her being an unlucky vessel.

DEATH OF BISMARCK.
The Great Statesman Passes Away
 After a Long Illness.
DEMISE NOT UNEXPECTED.
A National Funeral win Not Be Held at Berlin Because the Princes Dee sire Was That He Be Buried
 at His Old Home.

Berlin, Aug. 2.-The news of Prince BiSparck's death, which occurred Satur- day night just at 10, produced profound sorrow, as the realization of the fears of his disease was expected. Several pa pers appeared in mourning borders with editorials expressing sorrow in feeling terms
 Sorrowful sympathy over Prince Bis marck's death is manifested in many ways The news is constantly discussed in public places and feeling of sadness prevails among all classes of people. Particulars of the last moments of the prince were eage1ly sought. Many pri- vate houses show flags at half mast
 According to an unofficial dispatch the death agony was prolonged. The prince died without taking leave of the family. For fully an hour he suffered terrible difficulty in breathing, and his groans were fearful to hear during the death struggle. He had been placed in sitting posture and propped up with cushions in order to relieve theifrightful spasms in breathing His powerful con- stitution fought,to the last. The family gathered in an adjoining room, was plunged into thevery anguish of grief by the moans from the death chamber. The only consolation was that the prince was unconscious during the last two hours. The strongly contracted pale features, greatly emaciated, suggested long and severe suffering, though the expression was calm.
 Count Herbert Bismarck refused to allow anybody to visit the death cham Der until Emperor William has seen the dead statesman.
 Special from Hriedrichsrune that Elm peror William has telegraphed Count Herbert his desire to have a worthy public funeral at Berlin, and that ill re- ply Count Herbert, after thanking the emperor, declined the offer on the ground that hisfather long ago expressed 8 distinct wish to be buried at Frieder- ichsruhe.
 The emperor also wired Prof. Begas to take mask of Prince Bisuarclz's face
 Telegrams of coincidence have been received from nearly every country and many wreaths arrived at Friederichs- ruhe.
 It is understood that Prince Bis marcks remains will be embalmed and will remain in the castle until the mau- soleum is ready for their reception.
 Large crowds of sympathizers gath cred outside the entrance where visitors books have been left for the numerous callers to inscribe condolences.
