A working sense of fun Is a good
thing to have, for sometimes, II the
humor of a situation cannot take the
place of cash, there Is no compensation
at all. A case in point, as the Londoner
prints 1t, Is that of the late H. D,
Trail, an English litterateur.
One of Mr.. Trails earliest Journals
tic commissions was to write a series
of articles, in paper edited by lady
well known thirty years ago as strong
advocate of "women's rights on the
anomalies and injustices of the law re-
lating to woman's property.
The articles were duly written and
published, but the remuneration agreed
upon was not forthcoming. After re-
peated but fruitless demands for pay
ment, Mr.. Trail brought a suit against
the lady, who successfully invoked
against her contributor the very law
she he'd engaged him to attack.

Did Not Want the Horsa

Willie Woodland tells the FOLLOWING
story at the expense of one of the now
well-known turfmen of the Middle
West racing circuit: "A few years
ago. said Willie, "our friend came
down from Central Kentucky with A
few home-bred horses to the louisville
track His first starter was put in a
selling race, which he won. After tbe
race WAS run the horse was led nm in
front OF the stand. The track auc.
tioneer went through the routine with
$500 the owners bid The trainer and
owner rushed up excltedly and yelled:
Here, hold on. | didn't bid on that
moss. Just give me the purse and
keep the horse, cause don't want him

A sailor who met with serious acci

tai. The poor mother hurried to the
building to see her son. She was met
by a kind but firm refusal from the
house physician, but nothing daunted
she pleaded for admission TO the poor

mothers entreaties? The safety of the
patient lay in his being kept absolutely
quiet, but the physician consented to
her admission on condition that she did
not speak word. She stole softly to
his bedside and gazed as only mother
can at her unconscious boy. She dare
not speak, but a mothers love was not
to be denied all expression. and gently
laying her hand on his fevered brow
she let 1t rest there a moment and then
noiselessly crept from the room.

Just how many boys and men are ems
ployed it Is difficult to learn accurately.
They all work for the gas company,
as the city pays $40 year for each gas
lamp and the company maintains" it
that is, pays for lighting. extinguish-
ing, cleaning and repairs.
But while the company allots an ev-
erage of 100 lamps to each lighter, and
pays fixed rate per lamp for their
maintenance, the lighters sub-iet the
contracts in some cases, hiring little
lads for almost nothing TO do part of
the work, Of which, of course, the COM
pany has no record.
Some old men who, for many years.
have been employed as lamp-lighters.
swear their sons into the service ana
make family affair of it. Therefore.
1t Is probable that more than 200 peo-
pie are employed to care for the 1880
gas lamps which are still In service.
Although the electric lighting sys-
TEN OF Chicago was inaugurated only
thirteen years ago and has grown slow
ly, few people realize that the city has
the largest municipal street lighting
system In the world, including $500 are
lamps, each of 1900 candle power.
In addition to the gas lamps, there
are approximately 10000 gasoline lamps
IN service in outlying districts not
touched by the mains of the gas com
panies, and these are rented by the city
IRON private corporations. These. too.
are being displaced gradually by the
extension of the electric lighting sys-

Blossburg, March 1S-(Special )-The largest political gathering of the campaign assembled at Couger's hall last night to hear John W. Tomlinson, Esq, candidate for governor MT. Tomlinson was met at the train by the Patterson silver band headed by committee of citizens, who es- corted MT. Tominson to the hall, which was filled beyond its seating capacity, there being present a number of ladies.
 Executive Committeeman w. J. McMur- rain presided and introduced MT. Tominson as the next governor of Alabama. The speaker was applauded throughout his speech, and at its conclusion nearly every one present came forward and pledged him their support.
 MT. Tomlinson especially complimented the band, saying that their music was ex- ceilent, but that it sounded sweeter to him because the name of the band was the Pat terson silver band. MT. Tomlinson mained over night and attended church here today. He made many friends during his visit.

TREASURE HOUSE
 OF THE REPUBLIC State of Guerrero, Mexico, is Rich With Minerals. NEW CEMETERY IS READY Americans Will No Longer Be Buried in the Old Government Ceme-
 tery, as All Space Has
 Been Used

Mexico City, March 1S-ReturnLng min ing experts say that the profusion eff pros- poets of every sort of material in the state of Guerrero warrants naming that state the treasure house of the republic.
 The new American cemetery is now ready for interments. It will take the cemetery here, which was originally es- tablished for the burial of American sol diers killed or dying of disease during the war of invasion, and has been the favortte cemetery of the American residents so that il Is now completely filled and there IS no room for new interments except by placing one coffin on top of another which the government will no lnger permit The new cemetery is spacious and will be made the most beautiful burial place in the valley of Mexico.
 It is no longer question as to whether oil in quantities can be had in Mexico, for this has been demonstrated satisfactorily in three different states of the republic Transportation is now the vital question in this connection. The company now en- gagged in exploiting Vera Cruz fields has gotten about 300 tons of machinery on the ground and are pushing matters as quickly as possible, but while they have developed the property quite sufficiently to be sure of deposits there, it is in the first place some Forty miles freight to the coast and then water transportation before encoun- tering the long journey to the City of Mexico, which is. of course, the principal market point to depend upon.
 Experts sent to fully test the Tabaco fields give satisfactory reports and the only drawback to the immediate operations IS the transportation question. The best deposits discovered are in the state of Guerrero and after railway facilities now under way are completed the parties in- terested intend to commence the develop mnt work on a large scale. Reports of oil being found in the valley of Mexico near this city have not been verified as yet and it is hardly likely that deposits are ir this place equai to those in the state of Guerrero.

NEBRASKA MEN
 ARE FOR BRYAN There Will be Few Family Rows at Democratic Convention. ALL ENDORSE THE LEADER Populists Also Have Squabble, But Will Send Delegation to Sioux

 Bryan
ALL ENDORSE THE LEADER

Lincoln, Neb. March 18.-While there may be a few family fights in the demo- cratic and populist conventions called for tomorrow night to elect delegates to the democratic national convention at Kansas City and the populist convention at Sioux Falls, they are not expected to have any influence upon the final action of both gath erings which will be to select Bryan dele gates and instruct them to vote for him first, last and all the time.
 It is expected that there will be sharp struggles in the afternoon caucuses for the positions of delegates at large in the dem- ocratic convention, but whoever wins, the result will be the same. Whoever gets a place on the Nebraska delegation will be shouter for William J. Bryan.
 The popul[sts have a squato-e cf tlelr own to settle over the delegation from Omaha, Douglass county. Two sets of dele gates are coming to town tomorrow from Omaha. One is the middle of the road' faction, led by National Committeeman D. Clem. Deaver, and the other the fusionists, headed by E. E. Thomas Governor Point CT declared today that there Is no doubt whatever that the populist convention would send a delegation to Sioux Falls in- structed for Mr. Bryan.
 Much interest is manifested regarding the platform to be adopted by the demo- cratic convention. It will be drawn up under the personal supervision of MT Bryan and is understood to be his declara- tion of the platform, in which his opinion, the national convention at Kansas City should place beneath the feet of its presi- 4,la nf row will be an affirmation of the Chicago platform, will contain blanks antagonistfc to the trusts declaring against the forma- ton of a large standing army, against the foreign policy of the present adminfstra- ton. At present it is not the intention of the free silver republicans to hold a con- vention tomorrow, although it may be so determined later. The proba bility is. however, that simply a meeting will be held and the candidacy of MT. Bryan en- dorsed.
 After the adjournment of the conven- tjons, MT. Bryan will deliver an address in the auditorium. Preparations are being made to render it a notable event as to- morrow is the forae etn anniversary of MT. Bryan's binth
 If the mfddle-of- the-road populists are refused admission to the populist conyen- ton tomrrow, as is most probable, they will hold a convention of their own and choose a delegation to be sent from Ne braska to the middle-of-the-road conven- ton, which is to be held in Cincinnati Secretary Parker of the msddle-of- the rad popuist national committee said to- night:
