 Her litter of kittens were drowned, being very much insthe way, and when Tounette returned her grief at their absence knew no bounds.

 The educated fly travels across a marked mirror to any number or let ter called for. The trick is explained by the illustrations. The mirror, which rests on an easel.

Getting Ahead of Queen Victoria.
 Little Prince Alexander, the eldest son of the dead Prince Henry, husband of Princess Beatrice, of England, has al- ways been noted, from his earliest childhood, for bartering proclivities. He lends marbles and tops at interest to his cousins, the little Connaughts, and, on one occasion, got up quite a little corner in dolls, which he succeeded in purchasing at a great reduction from his small Albany cousins.
 The other day he received a present of one sovereign ($5) from his mother, and, having quickly spent 1t, applied for the second. He was gently chided for his extravaganza, but, unabashed, wrote to his grandmamma. The Queen had been warned of the financial em- barrassment, and she replied in the same strain of remonstranee, whereup- on the Prince responded:
 Dearest Grandmamma: I received your letter, and hope you will not think I was disappointed because you could not send me any money. It was very kind of you to give me good ad- vice l sold your letter for e4 10s.D

then placed on the floor, resting against the easel. At this point a boy crawls behind the mirror and lets down the wooden back of the easel. which serves for a shelf seat for the boy after the mirror has been restored to it's place. A cloth at the back of the easel behind the mirror space coneeals the boy when he climbs to his perch on the shelf. The cloth is numbered and lettered in duplicate of the mirror, and the boy is armed with a powerful magnet. The fly is of cork, with an iron core, which is set flat against the glass in lowered corner of the mirror, where it is held by the magnet. It is evident from this arrangement that by moving the mag net to the square called for the fly will be seen to travel to exactly the same spot.

Champion Hartman Sill Ia the Game.

The wedding out process i'm the golf
tournament at the Newport Golf club
yesterday progressed favorably 10 the
favorites, and there were but few sur

match against Foxhall Keene by up
ID play.
The largest gathering OF the day fol-
lowed this latter match. but they saw
anything but par golf. as the score will
show. IL was considerable OF
a disappointment TO see Keene. who up
TO yesterday has been the star Of the
tournament, go TO pieces SO badly. Har-
riman was not much better. and for
that reason many OF the experts look
upon young Charles Hitchcock. Jr., aa
the probable winner OF the big cup, and
a defeat for the amateur champion.
The play started off sharp at 10
o'clock. and by half past that hour the
eight matches in the big cup had got
10 away from the first tee. Quite
number OF the devotees of the game
followed the champion. but the largest
gallery went after the Keene- -Stillman
match. and saw some of the best golf

Bl-metaIIlc Meeting.

The Providence Journal is still busy

that the Bi-metallic League speakers
viii be heard elsewhere than at Cres-
cent Park on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday next, i'm spite OF all the known
facts and the contradictions OF the
league officials and every one else who

of trying TO foment trouble between the
labor organizations on one side and the
league and Proprietor Boyden Of Cres-
cent Park on the other side. yesterday
an attack on the latter, alleging un-
fairness and lack OF sympathy toward
the labor unions. as well as asserting
that he did not handle union goods or
employ union help was made.
When Mr. Boyden was seen by a re-
porter last evening. he smiled as he
said What, another Journal yarn?"
and seemed TO think IL altogether un-
necessary to say anything regarding il.
The poor old Journal is TO be pitied, :"
he said, finally: 'it has now struck on

that would make its heart ache.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-10-21
No Such Word as Fail.

eff the time ever comes when Main
street is in firSt-class condition and
remains so, then will be the time to
move out of town." etc. Thus says
the official organ.
Does that sound we'll for Barre at
the dawn of the twentieth century?
Barre has undertaken many things
in the past twenty years that she was
told could not be done.
What is the record of the past?
Except on Main street, uniform sue
cess.
What is the cause of this failure?
Experts tell us, the same as in road
building all over New England lack
of a suitable foundation to build upon.
The good book says a house that is
built upon the sand will surely fall.
A road bed built on slight or insult
ficient foundation will not endure.
Put under Main street solid, perma-
nent foundation and then build there
en- suitable road and it will stand.
1t will cost money to do it, and this
may not be the time to do it, but to
say it cannot be done is contrary to
the spirit Of the age.
Get an expert engineer, such as the
United States government employs,
and have the question thoroughly
investigated.
Main street ought to be, and, we
believe, can be made the glory and
pride of Greater Barre.

THEIR OWN REWARD.

There are lots of different ways OF
getting at the questions of village i'm
provement that arise from time tC
time but there can be but one opinion
as to their final value. Says the St.
Adams Messenger:
Now Ludlow is to have an electric
light plant, and Montgomery and
Woodstock are talking of a sewer sys-
tenn. Little by little the Vermont
towns are coming up to a standard of
modern improvement that would
make our grandfathers stare. There
is good in Vermont when it does not
interfere with her progress. If the
old state could only shake herself free
from some of the old barnacles, we
would scarcely know ourselves in few
years. But these occasional munich
pal improvements, unimportant in de-
tail though they may be, are neverthe-
less the outward and visible signs of
an inward and spiritual grace that
will some day save Vermont.
Electric lights, water and sewer
systems, concrete sidewalks, all i'm
provements, are virtues in that they
are their own reward. OF course the
investment of large sums of money in
such things involves taking some
chances, but the history of every city
and town will show that in scarcely
any case, even where the most expen-
sive Improvements are made, these do
not fail to bring back substantial
profit in increased business. Ludlow
Tribune.

Cold BlOOded Double Murder.

Hodhenville, Ky, Oct. 21.-News Of a
cold blooded double murder. evidently

Hudgins, are the victims. They. had
been dead nearly two days when discov-
cred. and their mangled bodies had been
lying out in the yard, where they had
been thrown by the murderers. The
deed was committed with an ak, and
Mrs. Pepper had been chopped almost to
