TO INVITE THE coNFEDERATEs.
Veterans of the Grey Mny Go to Buff
fniO Next Year.


LOUISVILLE. KY, May 26.-Information
was received here today to the effect that
n movement had been set on foot by the
mayor and other leading citizens of Buffalo,
n. Y. to invite the Confederate Veterans,
when they meet in this city next week, to
hold their next annual reunion in that city.
The matter was generally talked over at re-
union headquarters and many prominent
Confedera.es expressed themselves in IA
vor OF going to a Northern city In 1901,
should one extend an invitation. 1t was
agreed that inasmuch as the Grand Army
OF the Republic had honored Louisville by
holding its National Encampment here in
1895. Il was proper for the Sou:herners,
should a Northern city ask them during
their Louisville session to visit it next
year, to accept the Invitation.
But little is known here Of the status Of
the proposed Buffalo invitation, but it is
reported that the mayor and committee
representing the city council and chief
commercial bodies are coming here to ask
for the reunion next year. II such Is the
case, they will almost surely be successful.
AS an evidence of the extent to which sec
tionaI lines have been extinguished be-
tween the North and the South, 1t was an
nounced at reunion headquarters that sew
eral thousand Indians would attend the
great meeting. The most unusual bit OF
evidence, however, is found in the fact that
the Louisville custom house and postofflce,
the most imposing building in the city, is
being decorated with Confederate flags and
colors and pictures Of Robert E. Lee and
Jefferson Davis are to adorn its walls.

WHEELING, w. Va, May 26.--The next

be more careful of the manner in which
they get out their vote. Loeb Lynn held
its first election a few days ago, and
some of the white residents of the viii
lage are preparing to apply to the courts
for redress because they permitted the
election of a negro to every office on the
ticket.
But one ticket was placed in the field.
because Loeb Lynn had never experienced
municipal fight; factions were unknown.
Most of the white residents paid little at
tention to the election. not even taking
the trouble to go to the polls. Some wags,
for joke and partly to settle some per-
sonal scores quietly voted for negro can
didates. Every town Office was thus filled,
and the white residents are SO chagrined
they are trying to devise a legal way out

WELLAND, Ont. May 26.-KarI Dull
man. Nolin. and Walsh, the three alleged
Fenians, who were caught red-handed in
an attempt to blow up the welland Canal,
will have to spend the remainder of their
days in the Kingston penitentiary Crown
Prosecutor Johnston made an impassioned
appeal to the jury for a verdict against
the men. He impressed on the jury the
necessity for stamping out any attempt
in Canada such as that charged against
the prisoners. and the jury was thoroughly
imbued with the necessity of making
such an example of the three men that
it might deter all such attempt in Canada
for years to come.
Johnston said: I'VE want no terrorism
no dynamiters in Canada, and no plotting
by assassins in the dark; no threatening
our liberties and our lives and our prop
erty."
Chancellor Boyd charged strongly against
the prisoners. The jury returned a YER
diet OF guilty after short elaboration.
and the judge sentenced the three men
to Imprisonment for life.

One of the serpents is twen- sy-seven feet six inches long, the other Is ct least twentysix feet long, and as pig around as water pail. Keeper Horan on Wednesday afternoon had half minute of time which could easily have ended his career. Around his body wound a coil of the tWenty-six< foot python. He was not hurt. The other keeper rushed fn and as quick ss human hands could work released him. But for one instant Horan, ai- most paralyZed by the situation, could aot know whether he would sleep that night cn his bed or on his bier. There were two pythons which Horan was directed to measure. The female py- tnon was stretched out at full length and the tape was applied. Then Horau appll7d the tape to the male python, that also lay stretched out metionless He had measured off nearly half the length when the huge reptile seemed suddenly to awake. There was a shout O. warning from Keeper Snyder and the others who were watching the measurement, but before Horan could stand erect the whole huge body of the pythcn had suddenly taken life. The great head was suddenly raised. the great mass Of ringed muscle had swept around in a living coil, and Horan, pale as death, stood transfxed with terror. Snyder and his assistants dashed into the cage, They knew that the reptile was still semitorpid w.s3 cold Fearlessly they caught hold of the great body and shouted to Horan 10 jump out of the living circle He did so.

She's kicking about dress. We've altered 1t twicz. and she still thinks it doesn't quite 1t her in the back. It's hard job to look pleasant and be perennia1ly agreeable, and never knew but one man whe could do 1t. He was the complaint man in a big stere-a friend of mine --and he held the place for twenty years. He never failed to say the right thing and was the most perfect jolly that ever was. He knew how to com eiiment woman as to form and con- plexion In way that never was equal ed. His smile was the envy of all the salesmeD in the place. It had win- ming sweetness about 1t that was sim ply irresistible and never failed to van quish the most desperate kicker. One day an uncle of my friend died and left him $40,000. A few moments after the news reached my friend an old pa- tron of the store came ina woman who for years had been noted as a kicker. but whom 1t had teen my friends duty and pleasure to make sat- Tsfed with her purchases. She had bonnet in her hand and was kicking about the shape, the trimmings and everything in way that was calcu- lated to carry terror to the stoutest Seart. .So.' said my friend, you don't like this bonnet. You don't like any thing about 1t. Well, I don't blame you. It don't suit you in any way, and It can't be made to suit you. Of course It can't. And there's no bonnet on earth that can be made to suit such & pig-faced. disagreeable woman as you are, anyway He had repressed his natural feeling for twenty years, but the worm that had been trodden upon through two decades turned at last. He then put on his hat. and the place that had known him so long knew him no more forever. Elk.

The lat Ger lately told friends and aequaint- ances that he had melancholy mes- sage fram spiritland to the effect that his son, who traded in Tonquin. bad been murdered by pirates. The dis honest neighbor, hearing this, knocked one night at M.

A sum Of 160 francs was required. and the phantom asked M Cordfer to be good enough to put it under the first chair on the left side Virgins altar in the church of Saint SulpIee. It ap- pears that M. Cordier deposited sev- EA AA AChGtkOl4S lQt tAC S4Oot daASA sAAS chair, and the money was regularly taken away.

The son laid a trap one night for the gSosts who was invited by Cordier senior to walk into his flat in the dark No sooner had the spirit entered the room than he received blow on the head from biz stick brandIshed by the traveller from Tonquin.

sAPPHIREs ARE HOT ALL BLUE

Other Tluts Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceylon Gems.
 Tt is commonly believed that the sapphire Is known only as a gem of a tich velvety blue in color." observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. AS B matter of fact. the sapphire occurs in various hues. In Ceylon, for ine stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft velvety blue to the Deacock blue. graduated in the latter to an almost iaultless white. 1t also occurs in whites, greens and yellows. the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked ct transversely. but having bit of fine blue tint on the under point. Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-red color. Some very fine sapphires have been found ln Montana during the pest ten years. Tie American gems are light blue. blue-green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this countyS.
