mans Authorizations.
He believes that he has been poisoned
three times; that fire and dynamite have
been used against him; that his ponds

location is the highest on the island
about 400 feet above tide water. Mann
moth chestnuts and elms abound, and
through the carefully kept forest of patri-
archal trees are winding paths, broken
here and there by fowery glades or rock
cries surmounted by Apollos and Miner
vas in Colossal marble. Strange to say,
one Of these rockeries is composed al
most entirely Of the gold-bearing rock,
and Is surmounted with the marble Ari-
adne of Phidias.
From the upepr terraces one Of the
most magnificent views Of New, York

he ESCAPED by tunneling through the re-

TWIN CITIES ICE CREAM PARLOI

TWIN CITIES ICE CREAM PARLOR.
As the summer season is about here
the desire for some nice place to go
to get a nice dish Of cream or a
glass of cool soda or some other cool
drink arises in the minds Of the young
folks, yes, and of the older folks, too:
but where to go is the question? Mr..
Henry High, a popular young man,
has solved the problem, by opening an
Ice Cream Parlor, at No. 756 Wabasha,
near Rice and University, to which he
invites the people Of the Twin Cities.
He will keep constantly on hand ice
cream, confectionery, cakes, cigars, to-
bacco, soda water and cold drinks Of
all kinds. Ice cream will be furnished
in large or small quantities for any
occasion on short notice.
