IRISH TURNS AND TWISTS.
The Unconscious Humor That Crops
Out In the Green Isle.


Out In the Green Isle.
The authaw Of 'Irish Life and Char
acter" says truly that one has only
to mix with an Irish crowd to hear
many laughable expression, quite in
nocently uttered. AS the Duke and
Duchess Of York were leaving Dublin
in 1897, amid enthusiastic cheering, an
old woman remarked:
"Ah! Isn't it the fine reception
they're gettin, goin away?"
In 1892 Dublin university celebrated
it's tercentenary, and crowds of Wis
itors were attracted to the city. Two
laborers, rejoiced at the general pros
perity, expressed their feelings.
"Well, Tim," said one, ''thim tar
cintinaries does dale for the thrade
Of Dublin, and no mistake"
ooh, fax they dor said the other.
"And whin, with the blessin of God,
we get home rule, sure we can have as
nanny Of thin as we plase."
An old woman, seeing man pulling
young calf roughly along the road,
exclaimed:
'tOh, you bla'guard! That's no way
to thrate fellow crather."
'Sure," said a laborer to young
lady who was, urging him to send his
children to school, I'D do anything for
such sweet, gintlemanly lady as
yourself
Again, the laborers on large estate
decided that it would be more con-
venient for them If they could be paid
every week instead of every fortnight
One of their number was sent to place
their proposition before the land agent,
and this was his statement:
IF you please, sir, it's me desire,
and it is also livery other mans desire,
that we resave out fortnight's pay
livery week"
An exasperated sergeant, drilling a
squad Of recruits, called to them at
last:
"Haltv' Just come over here, all of
We, and look at yourselves. It's fine
line ye're keepin, isn't it?"

Mr.. RustiI, president of the Fairmont
Creamery Company, was in Denison
today looking over this branch of their
business. Mr.. Rustin states that he
expects the creamery business done in
Denison next year to be ten times in
value to that done this year. He is.
much interested in the proposition for
good sewer connection and states that
it is impossible for him sto continue
business at this point unless some ar
rangements are made. He states that
his company is willing to do absolutely
the fair thing in regard to paying it's
share Of the expenses, but that the peo-
pie in the vicinity rightfully can claim
and that it will be an absolute impos-
slbllity for them to continue busip ess
unless the waste can be properly dis
posed of. The claim is entirely too i'm
portant business institution for Deni-
son too lose simply because it has no
proper sewerage. Again from a SAM
tary standpoint it is of vital impor-
tance to the entire community Much
of the malarial and typhoid with which
we have been visited this season, would
have undoubtedly been avoided had we
had adequate sanitation.

A RICH CHARITY PATIENT
The Death Of Samuel BeSHiCk Of Chicago
Followed by a Queer Discovery.
HIS OLD AND TATTERED CLOTHES
Lined With Gold and Silver
Certificates.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE FOUND

Associated Press Dispatch BY Special Wires.
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. IA. The death,
on Sunday, Of Samuel Beswick, an
aged and widely-known character on
the Board Of Trade and charity
patient in the Baptist Hospital, was
followed by queer discovery on the
part of the hospital authorities.
His old and tattered clothing was
found literally lined with gold and
silver certificates; apd sewed behind
an inner vest pocket, Is 800 bills were
found. Currency amounting TO. 81, O35
was found hidden in the Innings of his
coat and vest Bonds and real estate
mortgages, thought to be worth about
So, 600, were discovered sewed inside
leather rocketbook that was stitched
to the lining of his coat. A long,
narrow leather purse, containing about
$500 In gold and silver, was ripped out
Of his coat collar. The money had
been in there so long that the silver
had become furnished, and the friction
of the coins had worn the gold ones
almost smooth. Then, at various places
in the lining and corners of the coat,
single pieces of money were found
hidden.
Mr.. Beswiok was about 60 years old.
He went to the hospital three weeks
ago, suffering from stomach troubles.
He was operated on last Wednesday,
but, on account of his age, he failed to
survive the shock.

Associated Pross Dnpatch by Special Wires.
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 14.-Mrs.
Rossnna Roberts, a widow, aged rs
years, her son, q. I. Roberts, bachelor,
aged 53 years, and her daughter, Miss
Jennie Roberts, aged 81 years, were
found murdered at their home, about
seven miles west of here, yesterday.
The body Of the aged woman was in
her bed, her head split open with an
axe. The body Of the son was half out
Of his bed, as if he had attempted to
rise; and shotgun broken half in two,
by the side Of the bod, showed that be
had attempted to defend himself. The
body Of the daughter was under the
house, where she had taken refuge
evidence showed that she had been fol-
lowed, and struck two heavy blows
with an axe.
The family were we'll to-do, and
highly respected. The nearest house
is one mile and a quarter from their
home. The crime was discovered by
neighEor, who stopped to get drink
OF water and, seeing no life about,
made an investigation. Trunks and
drawers had apparently been ransackcd,
but what was taken has not been dis
covered, as money and other valuables
we're found where the robbers and muir
derers had worked. There is no trace
to the perpetrators of the crime, but
posses are searching the woods In the
neighborhood. The crime must have
been committed late Monday night.

THE FLOOD SCARE is OVER.

But Normal Conditions Mt AthoL Mass,
Wili Not be Resumed for Several Days.
Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires.
Athol, Mass. Feb. IA. The food
scare is over in this town, but it will
be several days before normal conditions
arc resumed. The ice has gone down
the river, and tho water is fast reced-
ing. There were "a hours of intense
excitement: the water had never been
70 high in the history Of the town. The
State road is under water for, some dis
lance, and the South Main street bridge
over Miller's River shows signs Of
weakness. Fears are expressed that it
will be carried away if any more ice
comes down the stream. The Exchange
street bridge, built six years ago, has
sunk In the middle.
There is big washout at West Ware,
on the Boston & Albany road, and the
trains leaving Springfield for Athol can
get only as far as Enfield, where they
have to turn back to Springfield. At
Orange, the streets last night were
under four feet of water, and the rails
of the Fitchburg road we've washed out.
The bridge at WestbIook, half way be-
tween Athol and Orange, has been
carried away, blocking railroad traffic
at that point.

HIS MONEY SHRUNK.

That Is, the Volume Did. ms 10 Brought 1t
From Mexico co the United states.
Thomas Morrow, who formerly worked
at the car shops of the jackson &
Sharp Co., but is now superintendent
Of the paint department of the Mexican
Central railroad, with headquarters in
the City of Mexico, who has been
spending few days in this city visit
ing relatives, left yesterday for Mexico.
He found the trip from Mexico to
Wilmineton-that Is, the expenses, for
he travelled on pass, being railroad
can standpoint, as he could not spend
his money until he had it changed
into United States money, and he was
required to give up 500 for every s4S
Of American money he received. As a
consequence, the volume shrunk con-
siderably.

THE REPUBLICAN MIDDLE.

Rumor That Upionists May Make an Effort
to Have Delegates Admitted TO the Ma
tional Convention.
1t is believed, according to promi-
nent Regular Republicans Of this city,
that the chief object of the Union Re.
rut licsns in holding State convention
in Dover on February 27th is to elect
delegates to the national convention to
be held in Philadelphia next June.
II was runiored yesterday that, as
Addicks' followers are not likely to
secure recognition at the national con-
ventiop, they may make an effort, on
the. day of the State conventions, to
make deal with the Regulars with a
view to securing portion of the dele
cation, but, from what can be learned,
there is very little probability of the
Regulars entertaining any such PROPOSE
tion,
