ITS TRUTH IS DOUBTED.
Hillside Company's Mayfcid Mines
Are Not to BE Sold.

The report current in Carbondale and
published in yesterdays Tribune that
the Delaware and Hudson company
was negotiating for the purchase of
the Mayfeld mines of the Hillside
Coal and Iron company, could not be
verified in this city yesterday. Off
cials of the company declined to talk
and men who usually know if any such
deal is afoat knew nothing of the mat
ter.
Said one good authority to a Tribune
reporter: Whatever may be doing be-
tween officials of the two companies,
at their headquarters in New York,
l know nothing, but l am positive the
Hillside officials here have not been
informed Of any negotiations. l do
not give much credence to the rumor."

the final preparations for the big event.

The Fast Mail at Acad g nv,

A very large audience saw "The Fast
Mail" at the Academy of Music last
night. 1t is one of the most realistic
dramas now on the boards and is staged
in an excellent manner. In the third act
d long freight train and the fast mail
pass across the stage and in the last act
there is a striking reproduction of
Niagara Falls by moonlight.
The company is fairly competent one
and the performance, taken as a whole
is one of the best given at popular prices
in this city for some time. 1t will be re-
peated at the Academy this and tomor-
row afternoons and evenings.
This evening Sydney Grundy's play,
Sowing the Wind" will be seen at the
Lyceum. The play, during the three
seasons of it's existence, has enjoyed a
success rarely surpassed in England or
America. 1t is play that appeals with
peculiar force to the human heart and
stirs to its lowest depths that element of
human nature known as love of fair play.
'Rosamond' is a character to chal-
icnge the sympathy and interest of the
most Indifferent play"goers.

The Bulldog a Good Dog.

No member Of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidity
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as sort of semiwild beast, till the
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous.
"Give dog bad name" is an old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust. Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affec-
ton, but in intelligence.
Stonehenge, who is considered one of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted

Bismarck of Jewish Descent.

Few people are aware that Prince
Bismarck is of Hebrew descent. He de-
rives his Jewish blood from his mother,
whose father-Anastasius Menken, one
of the favorite bureaucrats of Frederick
tho Great-was of Hebrew parentage.
Although Of late it has evidently ap-
peared polite to the prince to coun-
tenance the Semitic movement both
in Germany and Austria, yet while ii
Office he invariably showed himself q
good friend to the Jewish nation and
chose the Hebrew banker at Berlin,
Baron Won Bleichrceder, as his most
trusted confidant. Indeed. in those days
he was so well disposed toward the
Jews that he even discussed the advia-
ability of marrying his sons to Jewesses
on the ground that it would bring mon
ey into the family again and likewise
