Yesterday morning as John T. Sull-
van, a night watchman in the San
quot silk mill, was making his rounds
and flashing his lantern here and there,
he saw something white crouching in
corner of the carpenter shop.
He came up closer and stirred it
with a stick and peered at it. No
sooner had he stirred it when the ami
NAL showed fight and was making
things exceedingly lively when Mich
ael Shay and John Mulherin, two other
watChmen, appeared on the scene.
'"Tis a cat that's chasin' him." said
John.
But it was no cat, as they all saw,
and 1t took those three men three
hours of hard work to capture that
animal. After they had it cornered it
was found to be large and full grown
'pOssum and how it ever got in the
mill is a mystery.
The animal will be donated to the
park commissioners and will soon be
one of the sights of the park zoo.

ing negroes from crawling under the
tent, and they saw an opportunity to
make little money for themselves on
the side. They were able to work out
their scheme through the fact that
they were faTorably stationed for it.
One was on the outside at the connec-
tion between the main tent and the
menagerie, and the other on the in
side, within the connection.
Among the vast crowd of negroes
hanging about the show was a large
number who had come to town expect
ing to get in for 10 or 20 cents. The
outside canVasman gave out a quiet
tip that if any one had any change
in his pockets by giving 1t to the right
person he could get into the show at
cut rates. They began to crowd around
him, rendering varied amounts of
money from / cent up to 45. He ac-
cepted all tenders. He told them that
he would have to put them in one at q
time. He did.
"The inside man was waiting for
them. Just as soon as a black head
would appear under the canvas he
would grab it, drag the rest of the per-
son owning it inside and shove him
out on the other side of the narrow
connection. From here it was a long
way around to the man who got the
money. If one of the dupes found his
way back, which was uncertain, and
wanted his money returned, he was
promptly showed under the canvas
again and just as promptly kicked out
on the other side. 1t was kind of an
endless chain.
"Why didn't the two men let them
stay in? Well, old Adam Forepaugh
was about, and if he saw an unusual
number of negroes in the tent he would
at once have made the rounds to find
where they were getting in. That was
why. The show was about half over
that night when an unearthly racket
started at the connection. A minute
or two passed and we saw two cam
vasmen running for life around the
hippodrome track with an angry crowd
of negroes after them, The audience
enjoyed 1t immensely. Thought II was
part of the snow. We knew different.
A lot of us jumped in and headed the
negroes off. That gave the canvas
men time to escape. After we learned
the cause of it we regretted our inter-
ference, We lost two promising can
vasmen at Lexington"

LIFE.

II none we're sick, and none were sad.
What service could we renderH
| think il we were always glad
We scarcely would be tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold and miss indeed
Its sweet consolation.
II sorrow never claimed our heart,
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die and hope depart,
Life would be dsenchanted.

spected citizen of Bloomington,
mourns the loss of this brother.
In early manhood Mr. Bonham went
to carve out a fortune in the far west.
He met with an accident in the mines

the same limb which crippled him and
prohibited hard labor for the rest of
his life. Under the democratic adj

kept a general store there. But the
familiar tap of his cane will be heard
no more upon the walks. Never again

pleasant voice greet the villagers
The last goodnight has been said; the
last kind office performed; the busy
marts OF trade will still 90 on, but
