AFTERMATH.

The Rev. Alfred Waller, clergyman in
Southend, England, offered to pay 60
year to any saloon-keeper who will hang
up behind his bar placard containing
verse of the hymn, What Shall the Har
vest Be-" One man agreed on condition
that Mr. Waller would put up in church
a notice of his bottled ales.
Mr.. Thompson, a member of the Con-
necticut Legislature, introduced a new
word the other day in a legislative debate.
1t was in a horse story. A neighbor OF
Mr.. Thompsons went to buy fast horse.
After having been shown some with past
records and some with possible future re-
cords the man said: II don't want has
been nor a WILDE; I want an User.
A curious superstition has manifested
itself in connection with the building in
Roston of Thomas w. Lawson's cup de-
fender independence Yachting enthus-
lasts. Just for luck, have thrown a con-
sidera Bile number OF coins into the cavern
Gus recess of the tinkeel, where they VIII
soon be covered by the molten lead ballast
and where the workmen cannot tlsh them
out.
A doctor the other day denounced the
matinee habit. a clergyman last Sunday
PREACHED against the euchre party. A
lecturer at a woman's club session lew
weeks ago made the rafters ring with
the denu.lciation of ice-cream soda. 1t
only remains for somebody TO come lor-
ward and say a few mean things against
tbe ingenious caramel and then what
lows will there be left in life for sweet
sixteen?
An ingenious method of getting around
the unwritten law of the better physi-
slams that they shall net advertise, with
o,,t Technically breaking he law, has been
...ct,ceti by a New York doctor. He does
not advertise He simply writes letters
thanking his clients for their appreciation
Of his services and outlining what he has
6ona for them. Quite by accident the
letters are misdirected and sent to those
whom the doctor would like as clients.

Miss Portia Knight probably needed that
MANCHESTER advertisement in her business.
George Gould will hardly forgive Editor
De Roday for failing to relieve him Of
Boni de castellane.

a Brooklyn chemist has discovered
that typhoid fever germs are being
distributed in that city through blocks
Of ice in which they are contained.
This sholrld>bc a warning to all cities
to Richmond as well as Brooklyn, to
investigate the sources OF their sup
plies Of ice and to see to 1T that the ice
sold to the people is pure. The old
theory that freezing always destroys
germs Of disease was long ago eX-
ploded. If ice is made from impure
water the ice will be impure.
The Norfolk Landmark in, discussing
the gubernatorial canvass says that
the people should not allow their at
tention to be thereby diverted from the
much more important matter of select
ing delegates to the Constitutional
Convention.
We do not know how it is in Norfolk,
but there is no lack OF interest in this
subject around Richmond. The selec-
t;ion of delegates to the convention is
the all-absorbing topic and completely
oyershadows for the time the guber-
Material question.
