HEAVY CAPITALIZATION
FOR LOCAL OILCLOTH PLANT

The Standard Table Oilcloth com
pany. of New Jersey, which : incor-
pOrated there with Il capitalization of
$4,000. 900. has secured Il permit to
do business in this state with Il cap
italization of 5000, 900, The plant in
this city is the only one the company
has in the state and so far as is
known there is no present intention
of erecting another one. Therefore
the amount of capital set apart for
this state conveys an idea of possible
development. as the local plant when
in running order will represent an
outlay of only about $25O,O0O.
The constructive work on the plant
here is practically done and the ma
chinery is now being installed as rap
idly as possible. 1t is expected that
operati tons will be begun about the
middle of February.

COASTING BOB MAKES
LONGEST RUN RECORDED

The cOasting on the hills in the
southeast part of the city has been
exceptionally fine of late. The use
of Twentieth street for this purpose
has been discouraged and Twenty
second street, which is less travelled and
sleeper for n part of the way, has
been used by the coasters. Last ev-
ening VIII Marquis bob, bearing a
party of his friends, made the longest
run of the season. and. in fact, the
longest so far as is known that was
ever made on either Twenty-secOnd or
Twentieth street. The momentum of
the bob and its load was sufficient to
carry it to between Third and
Fourth avenues, a run of about thir-
teen blocks.

HOT PLATE THE CAUSE
OF DOMESTIC TROUBLE

y supposed poisoning case caused
something of a sensation in the neigh
borhood of Hamlet, just across the
river in Mercer county one day last
week. Word was passed that a. we'll
known young married man had taken
poison, and neighbors went to investi-
gate. TO their surprise they found
the supposed suicide cooking feed for
his hogs.
BY and by the facts came out. As
they are now being told, the young
man had been engaged in an argu-
ment with his wife. That morning
while waiting for him to come to
breakfast the wife had placed the
plate bearing the morning rations of
pancakes in the oven to keep them
warm.
When hubby picked up the plate at
the breakfast table he burned his
fingers, and the first note of the do
nestle discord was struck. Later
when the trouble had reached its
height, the aggrieved young man de-
clared he would kill himself, and he
proceeded to imbibe the contents of a
bottle that he said contained poison.
The poor woman gave an alarm.

Brother Investigates.

Mrs. Charles Johnson, of this city.
a sister of the girl, was opposed to
the match, and so was her brother,
as the girl was only 16 years old. He
came Monday and made an investiga-
tion which disclosed the fact that the
bank account was a myth of deepest
hue; that no payments had been made
at any of the business houses in con-
tradiction of statement made by
Guy. and the result of the investiga-
tion was the discovery that the fellow
was penniless adventurer.
He was told that the best thing
he could do was to move on. The
girls brother bought him Il ticket as
far as Alpha and the last seen of him
here was when he boarded n train at
the Burlington depot ostensibly
bound for Galesburg."

Many of the most solid business, and
the most distinguished professional men
in the District of Columbia were developed
from the ambitious Government clerk,
who prefers to be the architect of his
own fortune rather than to go so far and
no farther in the service Of Uncle Sam
There is one particular clerk who has
been parading Street beyond the men,
CRY of man. He is no longer a clerk, hay-
ing married rich girl, and is now living
on her money. He is fat, sleek, smiling,
prosperous, and in society, but the old
habit, when the clock strikes 4, still
clings to him. Every day when the wealth
er is propitious he promenades down F
Street, with coat so muscularly padded
that it might well make the journey alone
in case its owner were indisposed. His
mustachios are trimmed after an original
idea of his own. and he is frequently mis-
taken for an attache to one of the for
eign legations. He is one OF the old guard,
and it is a popular fancy among the PROM
enaders that when he leaves Street
the clock will cease to strike 4.
