BIG FIRE.

About O'Clock last Monday
morning the two large barns of r.
c. Rawlings were found to be on
fire. The barns were well filled
with feed, rigs, harness and other
supplies. There were but two horses
at home at the time. The family
driving horse was burned in its
stall and Miss LIMOS saddle pony
was rescued in a badly scorched
condition, but will recover. The
barns with all their contents were
destroyed. The fire department
worked heroically to save adjoining
property and succeeded in prevent
ing the spread of the fire. Mr..
Rawlings loss is about 81, 900 with

Some amusing colleagues occurred
during the recent meeting OF the
board, among which were, in sub
stance, the following;
Mr.. Cates-"Mr. Nation and
Mr.. Beach, the outside members,
Law great stress on the fact that
their constituents are satisfied with
their course"
Retort by Mr.. Nation:
"They have not so far appointed
a committee of three to wait upon
us and tell US what to do"
Mr.. Cates-"A motion coming
from Mr.. Nation to add to the
Fourth Ward building will not be
taken seriously by the people OF the
Fourth ward"
Mr.. Natlon-"Well, it strikes me
that the people of the Fourth ward
would be proud of the novelty OF
having some one make motion in
their behalf with some hopes of hav'
ing it prevail"

GREAT TREAT.

The music loving people of Cha
mute were given rare treat We'd
nesday night by the New York
Symphony Concert Co. Too much
can not be said in praise of this
company. Every member is an ar
fist in his line.
The orchestra work was of the
very highest grade and filled the
audience with astonishment and de-
light. The solos, both instrumental
and vocal were rendered in the very
best of style and were repeatedly
encored.
Miss Tess Van Bergen, soprano
solo; Mr.. Martin Van BergHn. hor'-
tone solo; Karl Smith, CT solo;
Verni Powell, piccolo solo, charmed
the audience and were repeatedly
called back.
An entertainment such as the
New York Symphony Concert Co.
gives is worthy of the attention of the
most refined and critical audience.

Tripping the Butchers.

Tn the largest private market in New York nearly every woman who buys meat has her favoritc butcher, whom she tips with dime at each order, thereby compromising 2 felony, for the fee invariably obtains for her an overweight of the purchase. Re gently four of the 26 butchers em- ployed left their places and opened an opposition market three blocks away. This aroused the suspicion of their former employ yer.sw who proceed- sd to investigate. He learned that 20 of his butchers had been systemaJ- ically robbing him for the sake oi tips. If a woman ordered three pounds of steak she would get thres and half pounds in consideration for her dime. On single order meat, worth seven dollars, was found billed at $3.12. The day before the proprietor detected a butcher in the act of giving away a four-pound chicken to woman who had tipped him regularly for years.-Detroii Free Press.

RUINED CITY OF CoPAN.
work of Excavation on It Stopped b3 Order of the Honduras Cow
 crnIn e mt.

All work on the ruins of the great prehistoric city of Copan, in Honduras has been suspended by order of the IIonduran government. Extensive ex cavations have been made at Copan by agents of the Peabody exploration fund and great palaces and temples. giant stairways and broad plazes have been unearthed Enough was uncov. cred to show that Copan was the capi- tai of great empire which has en- tirely vanished, leaving no history, not even traditional history, behind it which man as yet can read.
 The government of Honduras gave no valid reason for stopping the exca. 4vations and the cIstodians of the Pea. body exploration fund hope to be able to get permission to resume work next year, as the prohibition seems to be only the result of a temporary freak on the part of the native officials. Meantime wall has been built around part of the excavated city and watch men, living in huts amid the ruined palaces of. forgotten kings, keep away natives who might sdeface and destroy
 
 lures.
 The history of Copan and it's mighty warriors, wise statesmen and splendid kings is all written on numerous col umns of stone and cn the walls of the palaces and temples, but no man as yet can read the inscriptions. Arch. aeologists of. the Peabody muse um have, however, mastered the calendar Of the vanished people, and, with this as starting point, are gradually mak- ing progress toward tie acquisition of "a Knowledge of the language of the mysterious people of the forgotten empire.
 If work on the ruins of Copan can be resumed next year, says the New York Mail and Express, it is expected that many finds" will be made which will be of the greatest importance tc American archaeology. y@. -

 .There was dog fight going on just around the corner out of sight" ex- plained the man who was telling the story, and who always sees the funny side of fife. Rack of me, coming as fast as his little legs could carry him, was a small dog not much bigger than a rat. As matter of fact the biggest thing about him was his bark, but his every action seemed to say: Oh, do hope that scrap won't be over before get there!' and that small dog came in sight of the fight at the same moment. There were six dogs in the mix-up, and not one of them was smaller than q calf. The way that small dog suddenly stopped. took one look and then turned and legged it for home caused me to laugh aloud. He acted as if he had suddenly remem- bercd that it wasn't his day to fight 7 Detroit Free Press.

QUEER WAYS OF THE TURK.
TTe Fries Into Your Mail md Pokes Ills Nose Into Tour rrrvES~
 Affairs.

The Turk suspects everybody and everything and TO private act, no se- clusion, is safe from his intrusion. Every telegram sent from the public offices is at once reported to the au- thorities. No one can safely send a letter by the Turkish post unless he is willing to have it opened and read and take the chances of having it con fiscated if the censor finds anything that can be twisted into an insult to Mohammedanism
 As a result of this condition and the inability of foreigners residing in Tur- ty with their frieI as, some o1 the great European nations have established post offices of their own in Turkish cit ies, in which they employ cnly Euro beans, use their own stamps and watch their mailbags until they pass beyond the pryirg eyes of the Turks. In Sa- lon:ca there are no fewer than five post offices-British, Austrian, French, Seryian and Turkish; in Constantino- pie six. If one wishes to be sure of his mail he must inquire at four of JnE1u dG ACllSlst dAO II AlC sAA4J Ntc1 S1 to have his letters reach their oes- tination he must send them through some post office other than Turkish.
 For the reason that the authorities cannot be sure of a complete knowl- edge of all the conversation that might pass the telephone has been excluded from the empire and no Turkish city is electrically lighted. because, it is said, officials discovered the word dynamo in applications for the neces- sary contracts, and. dynamo suggest ing dynamite, the official Turk was paralyzed with fear. So all Turkey is still candle-lighted. or at least lamp lighted. Whatever is Turkish in Fur key, says writer in the Outlook. is sure to be out of order, disorganized dirty; whatever is foreign is, by con. trast. we'll kept.

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD

The cratic antipodean met Jack Bain of Peoria in an eight-round bout at the opening of the show of the Central A. c. of Peoria, III, the other night and was returned the winner. This was Griffo,s first fight since he fought Jimmy Popp, the Canadian lightweight two years ago Griffo entered the ring in great shape and was loudly greeted by about 800 spectators. Bain was also in fine trim. Griffo af tho outset displayed wonderful skill. He was all over his opponent, exchanging blows and landing with remarkable speed. Bain was evidently afraid of the Au- stralian for he sprinted about the ring until compelled to stand up and fight by the crowd. Griffo fought from the fourth round with furious energy and several times had Bain going. At the end of the Mill Griffo received the award. There was not mark on him although Bain's body showed traces where Griffo had landed.
 Peter AIaher has come forward with the announcement that he has quit the prize ring. He says that his determi- nation this time is no bluff and that he means all he says. Peter arrived at this conclusion after his recent de feat by Kid Carter. The fact that a nliddleWeight should beat him rankles in his breast and he wants to get away from the game as speedily as possible. Maher has been boxing about fourteen years. Although his career in the ring has not been es- pecially brilliant he has won quite a number of hard fights and defeated some of the best heavyweigbts in the business. At one time Afaher was looked upon as an eligible for the heavyweight title. But his quick de i feat by Bob Fitzsimmons relegated him several pegs in the march for pre- rnier honors. Maher is 8 years old and cane to this country in 1891. He has made lot of money at the game and is said to be we'll off He owns some real estate in Philadelphia
 tetcI declares that he has a gymnas. l: ium in Philadelphia which is payina him very well and that he does. not neod to fight any more. Anyway, h. 1 adds he is getting too old for the pres cut generation, c heayyweights.

STRAY FITS OF SPORT.

Denver. Col, Dec 27.-It is well known here, the home of Young Cor bett, that the articles for the proposed fight between the champion and Terry McGovern contain a clause, inserted at the demand of Corbett. stipulating that he was to receive 5 per cent Of the gate receipts. win or lose. F
 While this statement indicates the evident desire Of MoGovern to get the match scheduled. it does not necessari- ly imply. any crooke,l work on the part of the fighters during the argument in the ring. Corbett has simply excr- cised his prerogative as clampion and followed the precedent set up by Dix on, Lavigne. Erne. Jim Corhett, Fitz- simmons and Jeffries.
 He has often been criticised for manaeing himself. but in this case lin seems to have done a piece of shreN-d. although ineffective, business.
