concluded q brilliant Metropolitan engage.

the part putting her in the front rank Of
English actresses.

The ministers of Cumberland are preaching
against the prize fight, that has lately been
introduced into that town. These brutal ex.
nibitions are held in the City Hall and the
ministers are very properly asking the people,
whose money built the property, what they
think of the use to which it is being put.
The sympathy of every respectable citizen
should go with the Cumberland ministers in
their endeavor to put an end to pfizefghting
in that town. Let the large cities have a
monopoly of that particular amusement:
country people have not as yet been educated
up to the mark of approaching the beauties
and proprieties OF the manly art OF self'de
fense"-fOr purse.

Hen EGGS and Ground Mole.

One of our experimentation young men
was sent to town Monday by his mother
with two dozen eggs to barter for pepper,
salt and SIGH. On his way he saw rooster
dig up ground mole, whereupon he caught
the mole and intending to bring it to town
to show, he raised the lid of the bucket con-
tanning the eggs and dropped IN the mole.
AT once its instinct 10 burrow was manifest
ed and raising up on it's forward end it pro-
ceeded to dig down through the eggs: the
shells were not equal to the hustle put upon
them and they begun to pop being unable
to oyertake the mole, he began to remove
the eggs, but rs the mole took to circular
movement as soon as he reached the bottom
of the bucket, nine of them were broken be-
fore he succeeded in getting the last sound
one out of the maelstrom. Eggs were aell'
ing at 81 cents per dozen and the experiment
cost him 81 cents. AS he had to handle the
unbreken eggs pretty rapidly, the buggy and
its accoutrements took on thesappearar ce OF
an embryo omelet on wheels, while the
moles once glossy coat might have been
mistaken for that of a politician who had
received one of the old-fashioned oua tons.

Shortcomings Advertised.

Frederick has discovered that one of her

warranted. Wonder how many yesrs that
particular condition has existed without dis.
coveryH 1t must be very bad case and it is
difficult to understand how 1t has just come
to light. 1t IS also queer that, as the Sun

1t strikes us that such matters might be set

The Wits at Work.

Some weeks ago Mark Twain wrote the
editor of Harper's Monthly requesting that
publication to aid him in securing the num-
berless obituary notices of himself that are
pigeon holed throughout the world awaiting
occasion for their publication. He desired
to edit them himself. promising not to change
any statement of facts, but that he might, If
desirable. amend the verdicts. 1t was very
humorous thing and has attracted
the attention of the witty men of the
country; the numerous funny rejoinders, If
they could be republisEed in pamphlet form
would probably prove to be the very cream
of current American wit. some Of the SAM
pies that haye come to hand are worthy OF

bered as Dinke lspeiel

Passing Of the Lightning Rod.

The effectiveness of the lightning rod
against fire from lightning is no longer ac'
cepted as in the past. 1t has lost none Of
its efficiency, no viewer, as medium for swim

as few deal with the green goods men, bu,

Not Likely.

The fourth judicial circuit will fill two va
csncies at the next election. 1t is over,
whelmingly republican and there will prob
ably be two republicans nominated and
elected there next fall and the movement to
have Coy. Smith appoint a republican sue
cessor to the late Judge Stake, with view
to having one republican and one demo-
cratic Judge nominated and elected next fall
not likely succeed, and IN this case the Gov
ernor will appoint democrat and the re.
pubicans next fall will elect two Of their
political faith.
1t is not probable that with one democratic
Judge elected and two vacancies to fill, that
an overwhelmingly republican district will
be content TO see second democrat elected,
they being content with one.

Important Decision Announced BY the
Supreme Court.
An important decision or life insur-
ance is announced In the supreme
court in the case Of the Royal Neigh
bOrs of America against Wallace. an
error case from Dodge county. The
court adheres to its former ruling Of
reversal, announced at the last term
Of court, but changes its mind ma
terially as to the rule that applies
to answers to questions III the appli-
cation. The matter turned upon
whether these answers are warrantieS
or merely representations. The court
says that the proper rule is that the
asking Of q question by the company
is a declaration that the fact sought
to be ELECTED by the question Is ma
terial, and the answer by the appli-
cant. when ne prCcures a policy to be
issued is an assent to its materiality,
the form Of application and the pol
icy constituting an agreement that the
statements are material to the risk.
This still leaves it open, says the court.
to the determination Of the jury
whether the answer was true, and II
not true. whether the variance was
material to the risk. 1t is not for the
jury. however, to say that the answers.
though substantially true. were new
ertheleSS immaterial.

Old Pictures Of Soldier.

In the museum of the Postohice De.

Of photographs that were collected
during the civil war because of misdi.
rectiOns or failure to find the persons
they were directed to. At one time
there were 1000 of the civil war sol.
diers in the collection. This number
has been gradually reduced until there
are now about 700. As visitors have
examined the collection through the
nearly four decades since the war the
photographs have gradually been rec
ognized and claimed. Only the other
day little gray-haired woman In look.
ing over these pictures became ex.
cited and finally burst into tears. An
attendant asked her what was the mat.
ter. and smiling through her tears she
s0id:
why. there's a picture of my broth.
er. 1t Is the first picture of my broth.
er l ever saw. and have not seen him
since that was taken"
1t was the photograph of a young
soldier taken by a camp photographer
during the civil war. The little WON.
an was made happy by the receipt OF
the picture of her brother, who lost
his life nearly forty years ago.
