Penzance, who, after aligning them
selves on the stage in rank as nearly
straight as an outline sketch of the big
fiddle, with a roar unanimously declare
that:
Taking one consideration with another,
The policeman's lot is not happy one.
But the clergyman's life has its
bright spots here and there, though, it
may be, none of them are very bright,
and there is no doubt at all that they
are entirely too few. There would
probably also question arise In the
minds of some persons as to what con-
stituted bright spot, for the hard
worked preacher has so little in his
life to be merry about that he might
be able to find a good deal of enjoy
ment In matters over which others
would scratch their heads In q vain

amusement only, for he thinks that
Brother \. should be ready-witted

He finds himself also able to extract
some degree of amusement from even

it is a well-understoOd fact that
preacher is fair game for everybody to
pluck at, and every day small swindles
are perpetrated on him, for no other

When Victor Emanuel succeeded his
father on the throne of Italy it was
freely predicted that his reign would
be short one, hut the young man
has managed so wisely that he .. is
strong in the affections of his people,
and were he to abdicate and stand for
election as the president of republican
Italy, he would probably win over all
sthers. OF course the young king is
liable TO be assasSinated at any time
by anarchists of whom the country is
full. Centuries of despntism have made
these anarchists possible. In the re-
action against tyranny anarchism has
been born. Victor Emanuel is likely
TO 60 some day as did his father, King
Humbert However that may be. the
king is following in the footsteps of his
father in modifying some of the most
Objectionable features of absoluteism.
Republican sentiment is strong In
Italy and it is with the republicans in
q governmental way that the kim has
to deal. They have large vote IA the
parliament and come near to control
ling. If Victor Emanuel had shown the
impulsivenesS naturally attaching to
most young rulers he would have been
deposed before this. But he has been
wise enough to make concessions as
they have been demanded ny public
sentiment. He has instituted reforms
and reduced taxation. He has heard
all grievances and disposed of all mat,
tiers purely on their merit.

the following:
IA man who was too economical to
take his home paper, sent his little boy
to borrow the copy taken by his neigh
Dor. L, his haste the boy ran over a
$40 stand of bees, and ten minutes later
looked like a warty summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who ran TO
his assistance, and failing to notice a
barbed wire fence ran into that, break
ing it down. butting handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running a "a pair
of pants. The COW took advantage OF
the gap in the fence and got into corn
field, and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket the wife ran,
upset a our-gallon churn full of cream
into basket of kittens, drowning them,
and in the hurry she lost a 81 set OF
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled
through the cream and into the parlor,
running a brand new $50 carpet. During
the excitement the oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man; the dog broke
up eleven setting hens, and the calves
got out and chewed the tails off four
fine shirts"

BRASS FILLING

Death From Poisoning.

Mrs. Opie Rolfe, Of Luzerne Borough,
a small mining settlement near here,
died here in the City Hospital in this
city last evening from a severe and
peculiar attack of blood poisoning.
Several weeks ago she came to vii.
kesbarre and had her teeth filled and
capped. A few days afterwards her
teeth began to ache and her mouth to
swell. She applied local remedies, but
they 1ght her little relief. Finally,
her limbs began to swell and pain her
overwhelmingly, while at the same time
everything that she ate had a metallic
taste. She also suffered terrible pain
in her stomach.
Her physician told her that she was
suffering from metallic poisoning, due to
filing in her teeth, which he said was
not gold, but brass. Mrs. Rolfe was at
once taken to the City Hospital. but in
few days she died from tine effects OF
the metal poisoning.
The Coroner has been notified and
her death will be fully investigated

BITTEN BY A TARANTULA
Noble Jannett, a Railroad Section
Hand at Dark's Mill.

Mr.. Noble Jannett, railroad section
hand working at Dark's Mill, was bitten
to-day was tow weeks ago by what he
thought at the time was a large black
spider, but. judging from the serious
results of its deadly poison, must have
been a tarantula.
Mr.. Jannett was working in some rock
by the side of the railroad track when he
was bitten. 1t stung considerably at
the time, and in a few moments his
hand and arm began to swell. and in a
little while the man was thrown into
commissions. There being no regular
physician present Mr.. j. N. Meroney
undertook to do for him what he could.
He gave him large and frequent doses
of wine and whiskey, and two large ny
podermic injections of morphine before
he could relax his condition and get him
under the influence of the drugs. "A
train coming along soon thereafter MT.
Jannett was sent to Columbia for medi,
cal treatment, and it was not until
Tuesday that he was able to go back
to work.
Mr.. Meroney's theory, which is doubt
less correct, is, that the bite was from
tarantula, which was brought from the
South and fell from banana car.

PELEE'S HEAT
Is Still in Evidence and Turns Car
goes of Sugar Into Molasses.

The marine underwriters at this port
are wrestling with knotty problem,
which has the charm of entire novelty.
1t involves the cargo of sugar which the
italian bark Anna landed here from st.
Lucia several days ago. On her way
from that island the bark naGurally
passed near Martinique, where Mt.
Pelee is still IN state Of intermittent
eruption, and it is claimed that either
the heat from the volcano, or the high
temperature of the water, due to vol
canic activity, had decidedly damag-
ing effect on the vessel and it's cargo.
Not only was the hull of the Anna
greatly rusted, so that the paint fell off
in great patches, but when the cargo OF
sugar was discharged here it was also
found that 500 bags of the raw material
had been converted into molasses, APP
parently by the heat.
Here is where the nice point for the
underwriters to determine comes in.
Volcanes are not ordinarily classed as
perils of the sea, but may have to be If
they produce such an effect on vessels
and cargoes, and the underwriters
may be held responsible for any damage
done by them.
The Anna was so badly rusted that her
appearance attracted much attention in
the harbor. and it has been found
necessary to paint her from stem to
stern. Philadelphia Record.

A TIE GAME.
Columbia and Pulaski Teams Evenly
Matched.

Doubtless the best game Of ball wit.
messed by local fans this season WAS
that between Columbia and Pulaski
teams at South Side Park Thursday
afternoon. II looked for a time that
rain would prevent any game at all
but the skies cleared finally and one
hundred and fifty or more lovers Of the
sport went out.
Harris Puryear of Glendale. was
umpire. He was prompt and fair in
his decisions and proved acceptable
to both sides
Watson and Hudson occupied the
box for the visiting team and each
succeeded in sending one Of the Co
lumbia boys to the rear. Robinson
twirled the ball for the home boys and
proved difficult to the visitors. Man
after man was retired until the Maury
Countians had sent eight to their
seats
The game was not called till nearly
four o'clock.
Pulaski scored one run in the first
inning. Matters were reversed in the
second and the score was tied. Inn
ing number three saw one man OF
each team cross the home plate.
Pulaski scored in the fourth and
Columbia in the fifth and the score
stood TO B.
From the fifth to the ninth the men
of the two teams used every effort to
cross the home plate but the game was
called in the ninth on account OF
darkness, with the score still to T.
