HALEY'S BAND CONCERT.
Good sized Audience Enjoys Playing
of Local Musicians.

The concert given 6y Haley's Band at
the National Theatre last evening was in
many respects very enjoyable affair.
good sized audience was in attendance and
literally applauded the excellent playing
of the men under Mr.. Haley.
The programme was distinctly popular
in its makeup and included several Sc
lectlons from standard operas and some OF
the late musical comedies. The Carmen"
overture was among the best rendered and
most appreciated of any numbers and in
response to a hearty encore the band
swung into Sousa's newest march. Hail
to the Spirit of Liberty" which was so
well received that a second rendition was
necessary. The soloists were Nj, Carlo
Uiivieri. who played a transcription Of
Coming Thro' the Rye" with much tech
meal experiences and sweet tone and
Miss Lillian Seton, who revealed most
pleasing soprano in Cheminades Sum
mcr."
A very interesting Incident in connection
with the concert was the playing of a new
march FOR the first time. the composition
of William Pearson. a Washington man

Mrs. Ed. Dryden departed, Tues
day evening, for Cheyenne, Wyom-
ing, to visit with Mrs. George Smith
and try the effects of that high alti.
tude upon her hoalth, for few
weeks.
Wills Fosnough came to the Station
on last Wednesday, in the forenoon,
edging into the postoffice he timid-
ly announced that he was the father
of new boy baby, born that morn
ing. Immediately Harry and John
and James demanded that he buy
them cigars. This he did and then it
was that they placed themselves upon
chairs and smoked to the health of
the little stranger.
We met j. z. Moore at the Station,
Tuesday morning, and the CONVERSE
ton turned upon the condition of the
crops about Hamlin and he said that
in his Judgment the acreage of corn
was about an average; that owing to
the drouth the corn would be
+" chaffy" but there would be many
fields in Hamlin township that would
easily yield thirty five bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Moore said that the small
grain crop was better than it had
been for years. About potatoes he
said that so far as he knew that crop
was total failure; that he would
scarcely get his seed potatoes back.
When we were at the Station, last
Tuesday morning, there were all
kinds of flying rumors concerning the
marriage of Mary Clark and Will
Thomas which they said would oc-
cur the following day. If we are
little ahead Of time with this an
nouncement we hope Will and his
intended bride will forgive us but we
could not let so good an item go by
unnoticed. They have an army of
frienns who wish them the best the
earth affords, and we join them in
offering our humble congratulations.
Then this was why Will wanted
Charley Ferguson to move off his land
for?

fhe Chnnces Tn Policx

The retired poke" shopkeeper was
explaining to his interested hearers
some of the mysteries of his former
business.
"1'he chances of winning at the pol.
icy game" he said, ARE about like this:
You take a bushel basket and fill It
with small white beans. Then you
put one small black bean into the bas-
ket and shake the lot up. After that
go to some 'skyscraper building. say
one about 90 stories high. and place a
penny on the sidewalk in front of 1t.
This done, shoulder your bushel of
beans and take the elevator to the roof
of the building. Then lean over the
edge Of the roof and, aiming at the
cent on the sidewalk below. dump out
the beans in the basket all together.
Then hurry down on the elevator and
rush out to the sidewalk. If you find
that the black bean has fallen upon the
penny, you win."-New York Times.

ENGLISH OF THE ENGLISH.
"London Is a Nice Place If You
Know the Language"

That hackneyed American maiden
who said London was a nice place if
you knew the language was not bit
absurd. We speak English, but we
have built up our forms OF English ex-
preston upon the English of a few
shires of the old country as 1t was
spoken between two and three centu-
ries ago, while they have been blending
and changing the speech Of all their
home peoples during the same period
The result is that an American can
hardly utter sentence in England
without calling attention to the differ
ence between his speech and that Of
the people about him.
Only yesterday. after is months resi-
dence in England, rushed up to a con-
ductor in Charng Cross station and
asked, (Which car for Bromley?" He
stared at me. and knew l bad spoken
foreign tongue to him, because street
vehicles like omnibuses and horse cars
are called road cars and tram cars, and
there are no other cars in England.
IT you ask guest at your home in
England whether he likes his meat
rare, he asks what you said because he
does not understand you. He calls
meat UNDERGONE when it is not thor
oughly cooked. If you tell him you
fear the asparagus is canned, he is al
loss again, because he would have
said it was timed. To ask him to pass
the powdered sugar will again set him
to wondering, for he calls it icing sugar
generally, though he knows that it is
sometimes called caster or sifted sugar.
And if you have candy on the table
you may not call it so without betray-
ing your foreign origin, for he calls
candy Sweets" abbreviated from
"sweetmeats," and used to designate
all preserves, buildings, pies, candies
and jams.

strictly Appropriate.

One of the pretty Sunday school
teachers has a class Of little girls, and
it is her custom to tell them each Sun
day Of some little incident that has
happened in the week and request the
children to quote verse of Scripture
to illustrate the story. In this way
she hopes to impress the usefulness
OF Biblical knowledge upon the little
ones. Last Sunday she told her class
of cruel boy who would catch cats
and cut their tails off.
Now. can any little girl tell me Of
an appropriate verse?' she asked.
There was pause for few moments,
when one little girl arose and in a SOL
emn voice said:

What the Eye Tells.

Eyes are very treacherous. and those

know all about them.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil. the indication is Of
cool deliberation. An eye the upper
lid of which passes horizontally across
the pupil indicates mental ability. I'm
steady eyes, rapidly jerking from side
to side. are frequently indicative of an
unsettled mind. 1t is said that the
prevailing color of eyes among the pa
tients of lunatic asylums are brown
and black. Eyes of any color with
weak brows and long, concave lashes
are Indicative of weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said to
indicate great intelligence and tena-
cious memory. Eyes of which the
whole iris is visible belong to cratic
persons, even with a tendency toward
insanity. Wide open, staring eyes in
weak countenances Indicate Jealousy,
bigotry, intolerance and pertinacity

A City of Boiling spring..

Carlsbad has been humorously de-

boiling kettle. which is almost literally
true. as it stands on crust of COM

several mineral springs. The most
abundant and most used of these
springs is the Sprudel. which dis
charges 10000 gallons a day of vari-

always boast of it's royal visitors dur.

Another Victim of Sunday Nights
 Riot Dies.

Burlington, Ky, Nov. 16-Quiet prevails in Hopkins county and from all indica- tions there will be no trouble for seevral days at least, especially if the troops stay here.
 The second death due to Sunday morn inR's battle occurred today. Morton Bush, who was shot in the right arm and lung by a bullet which pierced the wooden wall of a house in which he lived, was the victim.
 The wounded union man, George Couch. who Is held a prisoner here, and who was thought yesterday to be dying. Is still alive and has a slight change of recovery.
 Adjutant General Murray and Mayor Basset are at Madisonville tonight, as are also J. D. Woods and several of his as- sistants of the United Mine Workers Un- ion.
 County Judge Hall has been holding a secret court of inquiry all day at Madi- sonville, and has examined several wit nesses. presumably for the purpose of as- certaining some fresh data as to the character and conduct of the union campa
 man from the union camp at Norton vile boasted that he was captain of 491 men in that camp. His story about the 400 men is not credited, though promises of endorsements for the Nortonville camp are reported and in certain union quarters they are expected.
