BROWNSDALE.

Brownsville was visited BY . very
disastrous fire Saturday morning.
The fire started in some unknown
manner about half past two O'Clock
and consumed five buildings in the
business part of the village, including
the store of W. n. Lawrence, the
meat market belonging to c. L.
Knox but occupied at present by F.
NJ. Watson, the barber shop Of J. F.
Knox and building owned by w. B.
Sleeper aud in use as a part of his fly
poison plant. 1t was in the latter
building that the fire originated. 1t
was with much effort that buildings
on the opposite side of the street were
saved. Had not the night been un-
usually still the loss would have been
much greater. Substantially all the
merchandise and household goods
were saved by the united efforts of
citizens. The loss is proba bly, 5000
partly covered by insurance.

Lucky strikes.

Miners returning from Alaska Dig
gings tell all kinds Of tales about luck,
but pretty well agree that the man
who succeeds is The one who does not
realize the risk he Is running, and
takes every desperate chance. The
men who are scientific and calculating
do not find the best claims. 4 stout
constitution, enough money 10 buy
food for six months and disposition
TO look for gold anywhere seem TO be
the elements needed for success. But
not all good luck stories have pleas
ant endings. One man dropped dead
when at the end of the first cleanup
he found himself rich man. He had
n weak heart, and success killed him.
One OF the greatest pieces Of luck at
Nome City is that OF boy OF 10, who
came there as a stowaway, was kicked
on shore. and in two months was
worth 100000. Strangest of all, he
had the sense TO send his fortune
home anu follow 1t himself.-Golden

There are only two reservations of
any consequence in this part of the
state, the Liberty club, composed most
ly of sportsmen from New York and
Boston, has very fine game preserve,
in Lebanon, near the Leonard's Bridge
station on the Air Line railroad, and
several thousand trout fry We're put in
two years ago. 1t Is understood that
the clubs losses have been heavy, but
all the streams that feed Williams lake

less of expenses. The reservation of the

Preston contains only small stream.

fellow whose sole. duty was to. expose
| his tricks, The scheme proved q hi
and was really one of the foundations
of Bites fame and fortune.
THE way he worked it was quite in
| genious. At about the middle Of his
| programme he would undertake to shift
| a cannon ball from one silk hat to an
| other. The hats were placed at oppo-
site ends of long table, and while the
| trick was in progress the interruption
who was seated in the audience in the
role of a spectator, would suddenly
raise shout Of Lift the clothp Blitz
would stop in apparent confusion, and
after wordy alteration, during which
the other would insist on his point, ne
would snatch up the cover angrily and
disclose a boy in the act Of passing a
cannonball through a trap in the table
top. Now are you satished?' he would
excaim, letting the cloth drop again.
You ought to have sense enough to
know that every trick has It's mechan-
ISM
up to that point it seemed to be a
clear victory for the interruptor, and
the audience would generally howl in
derlsion. At that Blitz would pretend
to get furious. TIL do that trick, any
how, just to spite your he would ex-
claim; and, taking a couple of glass
vases, he would place the hats on top,
thus raising them clear Of the table.
Then he would lift the cloth, and, 10
end behold! the boy had vanished into
thin air! With the cover still elevated
and held in place by pins the feat Of
shifting the ball would be triumphantly
performed, and needless to say, the
spectators would shout themselves
black in the face. The trick was moth
ing but piece Of clever palming, and
the disappearance of the bogus confed-
crate was effected by a simple arrange
ment of inclined mirrors; but, all the
same, it was a very effective piece of
work and never failed to make pro-
found impression on the audience.
Blitz had dozen variations Of the in
terruption scheme some much better
than the one / have described, and,
while they would be trife too obvious
for the up-to-date trea ter-goer Of the
present, they never missed fire in the
unsophisticated early days.
Fake Interruptions in a sleight-of-
hand or conjuring performance have
the double advantage of giving eclat to
the trick and intimidating any real
eceptics in the house. who might other
wise prove troublesome. After a man
hears some other fellow get badly
worsted in an encounter with the ma
gician he will hesitate to put in an oar
himself, no matter how certain he may
be that he sees through the Illusion. In
his younger days Hermann used
ready-made Interruptions to some slight
extent, but afterward discarded them
as being too dangerous. AS far as he
ever went was to get an usher to call
out: He's got it up his sleevel or
Look under that box' OF course, the
article in question wouldn't be there,
and Hermann would get q round Of
applause, while the usher retired, appa-
rently crestfallen. New Orleans
