PRESSED WHILE YOU WATT.

Over a basement shop in Philadel- phia in the thick of the business dis. trict hangs sign that reads: ''Trou. sers pressed while you wait; 15 cents" And down in the shop one may always see a couple of young men pressing away for dear life. Two lawyers, in passing the sign the other day, ar gued as to it's meaning. "They press your trousers on you,' one said ''No,'' said the other, they give you bar rel" And then the inquisitive lawyers entered the shop to see how this inl- portant matter was arranged. There were within number of square com partments curtained with muslin and about four feet in height. Tn each was chair, and on the chairs were persons, visible from the waist up, who read the newspapers and magazines while their trousers were being pressed.

The Boers have captured and burned a train. Just what they expect to gain by such action no intellect but that of a Boer can explain.-New Brit ain Herald.
 If it was an English train 1t is just so much loss inflicted on the Boer en- emy, and then again it is carrying out Paul Kruger's threat, made before the war started, that if England won it would be at cost that would stagger humanity.

HE DESERTED HIS WIFE.

The Michigan newspaper men who belong to the state association are a jolly lot, and whenever they leave home on one of their annual trips 1t is with the determination to have a good tilne-and they usually have it.
 1t was on one of these pilgrimages that the following incident occurred. The steamer had stopped at Charlevoix for an hour. James w. Hine, editor of the Lowell Journal, and his wife wandered further from the pier than they should, and while they were still some distance away MT Hine saw the deckhands throw off the lines and the wheels of the steamer begin to re- volve. Without a moments thought he broke away from his wife, and running down the pier, leaped cn board as the boat moved out into the lake.
 The steamer headed about and cir cling back, took Mrs Hine on board.
 At the conclusion of business meet ing of the association at Petoskey, President Hampton requested Mir Hine to stand up Hine stood.
 You are charged" said the presI. dent, with deserting your wife al  Charlevoix; what have you to sayY'
 Hine made good defense. "I saw the boat going" he said, "and told my wife that would run down to the wharf and hold it. got hold of it and you all know that 1 held 1t till my wife arrived" and he added this scorcher:
 'The fact that the secretary of this association Kelly of Pontiac,j bor- rowed $3 of me at Charlevoix, and the further fact that the president Clamp ton), borrowed a shirt of me at the same place, convinces me that there was 8 conspiracy between those two men to get me left and thus avoid their obligations
 1.-The explanation Is satisfactory" said the president.

ALASKA TELEGRAPH LINE.
Il Will Probably Be Two Years Before "

Washington, April 29.-Werc it not
for the great difficulties of transport

itary telegraph line from Naldcs to
the Yukon river and down to st.
Michacls would probably be in work
ing order by the close OF the coming
summer. but under conditions as they
exist it will probably be two years be-
fore this line in its entirety Will be
working satisfactorily. Work was
not begun in earnest until late IN
the season of 1900, when by dcxtrous
labor the men of the signal corps.
under Major Green, took hold and made
phenomenal progress with the me.
1t is beyond possibility, however,
for them to keep up this pace this
summer, owing largely to the ditii-
culties encountered in getting their
lines. fixtures and supplies to interior
points from which they are working.
Active operations in laying the line
could not be commenced before late
in March or the first OF April and
up to this time no advices on TINS
subject have yet been receievd III

summer season Fort Gibbon will he

whereas they have been heretofore two
mouths apart. and oftentlmes nearer

toned advantage to the military ana

The question OF how the line shall
be constructed along the great bend
ot the Yukon has not yet been de-
terimned. This neck OF land is be-
tween 80 and 40 miles wide. Should
the line follow the river it would be
much longer than an overland section.

Uvada. Utah. April 29.-The first

loaded with ties were driven up to

promptly stopped by the Clark forces.
Sheriff johnson then demanded that
the teams be allowed to pass over the
public road. but the Clark force again
refused to allow the teamsters to pro.
coed. The teamsters then attempted
to force their horses through. but the
Clark men. heavily reinforced and
armed with shovels and pick handles.
rushed to the horses heads and stopped
them. For two hours the argument
was kept up, several OF the teamsters
in the meantime succeeding IN break.
ing through and getting their wagons
upon the right OF way.
Finally the Clark forces asked for
an armistice and an agreement Wa,
reached 10y which the wagons are not
to be unloaded and the Clark forces
are to retire to their second line OF
defense at the harbed wire trocha,
two miles down the grade. pending a
determination in court OF the respec-

action. it is believed. removes the
danger OF further clash between the
rival forces.
