HIS POWER OF END URANCE.

Aricked eleven of lawyers from New
York played a cricket match with a
picked eleven of lawyers from Boston.
The daywas beautifully fine, and large
company had assembled to see which
set of lawyers had the most practice.
With the first ball of the second over,
however a dispute arose, and the
twenty-five lawyers gatherel around
the umpire to argue the point. The
argument continued with no sign of
abatement till five o'clock in the even
ing, at which time the umpire died.
Great establishment is felt that he
held up so long us he did.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Be- charitable before wealth makes
thee covetous.
What is bitter to endure is often
sweet to remember.
Teach your children to respect their
elders and themselves.
We cannot do evil to others without
doing it to ourselves.
Judgment and decision are mans
great wheel of fortune.
1t is astonishing how little one feels
poverty when one loves.
1t is not by the gray of the hair that
one knows the age Of the heart.
Errors in religion my excite pity,

WHY THERE WAS NO SERMON.
In small village in Berks county
the clergyman was away on visit,
but was expected "&ck to preach on
the Sunday. Early on Sunday morn
ing, however, the sexton received Il
message from the clergyman to say
he would not be able to preach, as he
was going to "officiate" for ano her
clergyman. AS the service time drew
near the sexton rang the bell, and
whea the time was up, and the people
were assembled, he went into the
pulpit and addressed them thus =
"This is to give notice that the parson
will not be able to preach here today,
as he is gone IL fishing along with

 The main reliance of Goebel ia upon
 contesting Jefferson, which means the

 to the returns, showed plurality for Taylor of l3,422, and if the democrats succeed in having it thrown out, 1t

 Quite number of republicans from Clay and Laurel counties arrived to-day and reported that there would be oth- era in town in the morning.

ency. Arrangements are made whereby
 the, authorities give, free of cost, the
 wood required for the erection of pigeon
 lofts to such officers and Government l servants as will undertake to keep and i train the birds with view to their
 use as messengers in war. i Russia was the first European coun-
 try to adopt military pigeon system, stations having been erected in 1871, At first the experiments did not lead to
 successful results, but later the whole system has been reorganized by officers in the Corps of Engineers.
 Italy has an extensive military pig con system,, the establishment of the lofts dating from 1872.
 Spain and Portugal both possess pig con services for use in war. Pigeons liberated in Lisbon have arrived at Southampton and Paris with messages; in the former case the distance flown was 900 miles
 Pigeons are capable of rendering greater services to the British Army abroad than at home. As we have seen the training of pigeons has been system atically carried out in Cape Colony, and now that the utility of the pigeon post has been satisfactorily proved by the recent events in South Africa, 1t is to be hoped that the War Office will do more to encourage pigeon flying at our foreign stations than it has done here tofore.
 In our navy, the communication of intelligence by means of pigeons is now officially recognized as part of the. great system of signalling. In 1896 the first naval loft was established by the Admiralty at Portsmouth, and now there are two more pigeon stations-one at Sheerness and the other at Dart mouth.
 Experiments are made with a view to training the birds to keep up commun- cation between ships and shore. There are over 1000 boning pigeons on the books of the royal navy, and the birds are under strict discipline
 The pigeons used for military pur- poses throughout Europe are those known as 'Homers" or "Homing Ant werps," and not the class usually known as carrier pigeons" The English car- rier is a purely fancy variety, quite useless as a messenger pigeon n--London News.

ARIZONA'S AGATE BRIDGE.
One of the Many Remarkable Features
 of Chalcedony Pork.


 | Agate Bridge is the chief wonder of that marvellous dream known as Chal- cedony Park, or the petrifled forest of Arizona. The portion of the forest where the finest of the gems are found is in Apache county from seventeen to twenty miles from Halbrook, on the Santa Fe Railroad.
 The bridge" Is a tree trunk, trans- formed into the finest agate, which spans chasm 60 feet wide. This prec- ious gem is 110 feet long, feet in diam eter at the base, tapering to feet at the apex and it contains enough materi- al to give labor to all the lapidaries in the world for the next generation. This log is one of the thousands, many of them broken into huge fragments, which litter the ground in an area of above 100 square miles The area of that portion of the park containing the agate bridge is confined to a few miles It is impossible to conceive of the mar vellous beauty of this section, for the ground is covered with amethyst, red and yellow jasper, topaz, onyx, carneli- an, and gigantic specimens of agate of every variety. If the gems in Tiffanys could be increased to the size of flour barrels and steam boilers, multiplied by l 100000 and scattered over Manhattan Island the result would give fair idea of Chalcedony Park.
 The primeval forest has not lost much of it's beauty, although the human van dal has been there and with dynamite has destroyed logs of priceless value in their original form, to get pocket full of crystals from the heart of the tree. The beauty and interest of the spot will not be wholly destroyed by the present generation, and the time will come when the Government will police Chalcedony Park and protect its treasures.
 The Indians have known the forests since their beginning, and it was here they found material for their precious arrow tips They call the petrified wood chinarump' The white man discover ed it when the United States Pacific Railroad was surveyed along the thirty | fifth parallel early in the JOS.

THE KEN1 UCKY ELECTION.
State Election Com m issioners Meet To-
 day to Canvass Reaurns.


 Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 3.-At noon to- morrow the state board of election com missoners of Kentucky will meet to canvass the returns from the last state election and to decide whether Goebel or Taylor is entitled to the certificate of election as governor. There is not much probability that the matter will be settled to-morrow and it may be Wednesday or later before a certificate is issued. The certified returns from the county boards now on file with the secretary of state give Taylor plural ity of 2,435, but the democrats declare that enough of these votes will be thrown out and that GoebeI will be awarded the certificate. The Kentucky election law is capable of divers con- structions and the definite conclusion of the board will rest very largely upon how it's members decide to construe por- tions of the statute.
 The republicans yasse:t that inasmuch as, according to the law, certificate of election is due to the person having the largest number of votes according to the certificates of the county boards, 1t will be impossible for the board to do otherwise than return a certificate in favor of Taylor, he having a majority of 2,435 according to the certificates now on file with the secretary of state. There is a loophole in the very sections upon which the republicans rely which may work against them. It is this: "The state board shall be board for examining and canvasslng the returns" How the board will construe the word examining" is a matter of doubt
 With the certificates of the commits sioners of Jefferson county giving Tay- Tor a plurality of 3,442 votes, was filed a mass of evidence that many of these votes were illegal and it is not among the possibilities that the state board may so consrue ita powers under the

The present race is radically different from former six day contests because of the law passed by the legislature prohibiting continuous six day races. Each rider in this race will ride twelve hours out of the twen- ty-four. The garden record under the old system for six days continuous rid ing is 2,1oo miles. For twelve hours day it is 1560 miles The record of this race should be well up to 5000 miles. The prizes are as follows: First team, $1 ,000; second team, $700; third team, $400; fourth team, $500; fifth team, $200; sixth team, $100: seventh team, $10O. Total, $2, 800. Individual prizes: First rider, $50O second rider, $500; third rider, $2OO; fourth rider, $100; fifth rider, $50 Total $1.s0o. The racing is under the management of the American Cy- cle Racing association.

rHE INSTITUTIONS NOT KING.

Gov. Lind has done no better piece of
executive duty than in sending to the
house his message vetoing the bill that
proposed a continuance and augmenta-
ton of the caravansary system of caring
for the insane by erecting so-called
hospital at Anol1a and buying a site for
another at Hastings. His message was
a distinct intimation of the reception
which he would give to an attempt to
force upon the state the bargain that
Anoka and Hastings had patched up.
The reasons he gave are condensation
of those he gave in his inaugural. HUI
manity and economy are against the plan
of mass treatment and custody. The
after complete investigation. recon-
mended the county system. The board OF
trustees for the insane hospitals recon-
mended the abandonment Of our method
and the adoption of the colony plan. Were
they as disinterested as are the other
board they would unquestionably agree
with it.
The veto will stand. Not enough votes
can be mustered to pass it. Many, like
those from Ramsey county, who were
bulldozed into support, will hardly accept
the veto as release. The practical ques-
! ton is what shall the legislature do about
1t? What can it do? They cali take one
| of the pending bills and incorporate into
it the Wisconsin laws and pass it. They
can pass the Thompson colony plan bill.
They can do any thing but pass the Ano-
ka Hastings deal over the veto. If they
are sensible they will provide for the
wedding out of the present hospitals by
sending back to their relatives for sup
! port the harmlessly insane, and they
will pass an act enabling counties to es-
| tablish asylums.
But in what a mortifying plight does
the fate of the bill leave the two COM
munities involved. For four or five years
they have been charging upon each other
/ gross fraud and corruption, While each
was struggling for the location of the
fourth hospital. Then they patched up a
| truce by which they agreed to join forces
| and compel the state to give each one a
! hospital; a shameful fusion if what each
| had said of the other were half true. And
now the governor interposes an invul-
nerabe veto, and neither gets anything.

A GOOD MEASURE.

WHAT appears on it's face to be an ex
cellent police provision is the ordinance
introduced In the council by Assembly
man Warner regulating the business of
pawnbrokers
There are few, If any, lines of legiti-
mate business so liable to abuse as this
In none are there more numerous on
portunities for the practice of extortion
and dishonesty. The patrons of tho
pawnbroker are usually the needy. The
urgency OF present demand renders them
peculiarly liable to being defrauded. Re-
sides all this, pawnbrokers have felt
themselves at liberty to advance money
on property while morally certain that
they have not been dealing with the own
er, when no local regulation has existed
making such transactions Improbable.
Tho main evils attending the discharge
OF this line of business are provided for
in Mr.. Warmers measure. The provis-
ions for the full insurance of ali prop
