ensville community for several days,
returned home Sunday evening. Miss

Mr.. Steve Crook has store at
Garden, Ala. He lately discovered
that a gang Of thieves had been robbing
his store for several months. The
Albanian says:
It seems that one negro succeeded in
making a key that would unlock the
door, and would rent it out to such as
he had confidence in, thereby getting
quite a lot of them into business that
will only end by serving a term in the
coal mine.

The Man With n Paper.

The man with paper during the
morning and evening hours in New
York city is legion. There are about
100000 of him. A man without a news
paper on an elevated train, in a street
car, aboard ferryboat or in a railway
coach, morning or evening going to OF
from business is conspicuous.
He is a rare bird indeed, and looks
as though he were wrecked and float
ing alone on sea of tossing papers
He is sure to feel lonesome and almost
outside the pale of civilization, for his
fellow men. with their faces to theil
regular diet of daily news, hardly no
tice him.
If you have time to spare a moment
from your morning paper, just look
about you, in car or boat, observe and
listen. You will see every mortal man
with often hundreds in view at one
time-religiously bowling at the altar
of the news in silence that is only
broken by a continuous rustic as the
scores of leaves are turned. There is
no more devout newspaper reading
community than is found in the me.

King Edward VII. in Portsmouth.

In October, 1860, the Prince of Wales,
now King Edward VII, was visitor to
Portsmouth, and many Of the older resi-
dents we'll recall him.
His stay was only of short duration.
He travelled by special train, and his car IS
described as follows:
"The car was fitted with elegant sofas,
covered with silk plush, easy chairs OF
dainty construction, gorgeous mirrors,
center tables, on one OF which were placed
superb silver pitchers,> goblets, etc, and
on another an elegant bouquet, fruits, etc /,
and chairs of the most tasty construction.
"The ceiling of the Car was of rich blue
silk, plated and powdered with silver
stars, which had a charming effect, when
contrasted with the car draperies, which
were of the richest crimson, gold and Gin
namon-col ored damask. There were also
fine lace curtains throughout. The carpet
was of crimson ground, with green flowers.
cat the rear end of the car, inside, was
the princes plume, and beneath, in panels,
the coat, OF arms of Massachusetts, Maine
and New Hampshire. Outside was plat
form built out, and richly carpeted with
velvet trimming, from which the prince
presented himself to the people"
The prince, escorted by the Duke of
Newcastle and the Earl of S.. Germans,
came out on the rear platform and doffing
his hat bowed to the crowd in all directions.
When the train left the depot the crowd
gave the prince Y ankee cheer.
10 the princes suite were gentlemen OF
the highest renown: The Duke of New
castle, the fifth of that title; the Earl of
St. Germans, and Major General Robert
Bruce, the private tutor to the prince.

strictons which he declares are alb

No clerk is allowed to smoke a pipe
in the streets during banking hours or
at lunch.
The average clerks salary is not so
very high, but nevertheless he must
wear silk hat and cane to the office,
dressed as one with double the salary.
Wearing a cap to business is not to be
thought of, as it is an objectionable
offense ia the eyes of the bank officials.
The salary of the average bank clerk
ranges from about SO shillings week,
put in many banks the salary is much
lower and the chances of promotion
very small.
clerks money is greatly diminished
by his having to subscribe to numerous
funds such as sports fund, to keep
the cricket or football grounds in order,
which he himself is never able to see.

does not leave the office on those days

chise.
Hon. Charles s. Collins in communica-
ton to the Nashua Telegraph makes the
most liberal offer that has ever been made
in connection with electric railway fran
chises In the state OF New Hampshire.
| Mr.. Collins states that if the legislature
will grant the charter for the electric road
from Nashua to Concord, he will build, at
his own expense, a state road from the
Massachusetts line to the city of Manches-
ter. This would mean, if accepted, saw
ing Of many thousands of dollars to the
state, and would bring about very vslu-
able improvement by the building of an
electric road, uniting the three largest
cities in the state.
Mr.. Collins is well known as q wealthy
retired business man, and that he is abun-
dainty able to make good the offer above
referred to is undoubted. The following
communication from Mr.. Collins will ex-
plaio itself, and will be read with decided
interest by the people Of New Hampshire
"Inote your practical editorial suggestion

If the legislature will simply do justice
and grant us what we we're the first to ask
for, charter to build an electric road to

Manchester to the Massachusetts line, for
nothing. Can the people ask for anything

a suggestion in this that may prove of value

According to Professor Adam Sedg-

there is reason to believe that buds
share in the growing old of the parent
plant He illustrates his meaning in
this way: Suppose the average life of
an individual plant-say a tree-to be

the parent plant is so years old will
also be virtually so years of age, and if
transplanted by grating will be able
to live on the graft only 80 years more.

Building Trades Had Trouble During
Labor Day Parade.

A race trouble came very near put
ting finish to the Labor Day parade
of the unions comprising the Building
Trades yesterday morning, and the
GOODNESS of Mounted Sergeant of Po-
lice Joseph McCool was all that pre-
vented it. The negroes and whites in
line were not getting along well to-
gether, and Officer McCool and his
squad of men had considerable diff
Guilty in getting matters straight when
the procession came to a halt on Hall
and Drayton streets.
There came near being trouble when
the unions left Labor Hall, on Bryan
and Abercorn streets, and the police
sergeant had to patch up temporary
truce, but one which he believed would
last until the line of march had been
concluded The colored bricklayers
placed themselves at the head of the
procession, just before the hour APP
pointed for the start. The white brick
layers were on hand in carriages, and
expected to be in the lead. They had
no desire to follow the negroes through
the streets even If they were members
of the same organization. A clash was
apparent when Sergt. McCool got in the
game.
committee from the Building Trades
had been named to arrange for the
turnout The colored union people had
a majority on the committee and
framed it up for the colored
bricklayers to start the process
sion, with the white bricklayers'
union next Grand Marshal T.
]. Naughton was appealed to
by the police sergeant, and stated that
AaI q
iority on the Committee of Arrange
ments, and that they had decided on
the formation. The white men were
induced TO march as the committee had
arranged, and rode in their carriages
just behind the negroes.
The parade passed through the bust
ness section of the city, had gone out
Jefferson to Henry street. and was
coming back down Drayton when
the trouble occurred. According
to the police, negro mar
shall on horseback made himself dis
agreeable by riding through the lines
made up of the white men. This was
tolerated until halt was made at
Drayton and Hall streets. Then the
white men decided that they would
have redress, and an effort was made
to pull the negro marshal from his
horse. There were several hundred
men In line, ana II lOOkeu DIS IL tueIS
was going to be a general mixup.
Sergt. McCool learned what was hap
pening and threatened to place the ne
gro marshal under arrest If he repeated
his tactics. 1t was pointed out that
the whites had their own marshals and
that the negro had no right riding In
their lines, The patrolmen on hand
kept the races apart, and after great
deal of discussion the several unions
were induced to finish the parade in
regular formation. The police officer
nronised the whites that he would
place the negro marshal under arrest
if he repeated his performance, and
upon this showing the white men
agreed to finish out the line of march.
Sergt. McCool and his squad continued
through the streets with the Building
Trades, until Labor Hall was reached
again. The trouble between the races
will probably be discussed at meetings
of the unions to be held in the near fu-
I
