polt,s Wonderland Thcntrr.

The Cycle Whirl and it's curious feats continue to draw wondering crowds to Polls. As a novelty and big scientific toy it has never been equalled here. The whirl is cycle track twenty-five feet in diameter Any one who has visited an eighth of q mile track knows that the angle necessary at the turns is ex- treme. Imagine. then. the angle at which this track must be built to con- form to the high speed attained by the riders. The lecturer who describes the act says it is an angle of seventy de- grees, and this is certainly true, for the whrl looks like g big tub.

 1lt LlpIl tACINloS1 HCiC iiNib III the morning. and at 12:30 a fine dinner was served in the main room of the hall.
 After the dinner there was an enjoy able programme of exercises which con- sisted of addresses, an illustrated lec- ture and vocal selections.
 The hall was nearly filled in the after noon and probably the most interesting part of the programme was the illus trated lecture by J. H. Hale, the well known peach and fruit grower of South Glastonbury. MT Hale's lecture was not confined to the raising and taking care of fruit, for many excellent stories were told during it's course, and aside from being very instructive it proved to be an exceedingly witty one. It was very much enjoyed by all those who heard it.
 The exercises were opened with a song by the grange, and following this was a vocal solo by Beeler filling. h. stalling Officer Sibley then made a brief address in which he gave some good ad- vice to the members of the grange. This address was followed by MT Hale's lec- ture and then came another selection 'Dy MT. Alllng. ReV. MT. COuntryman, the chaplain of the state grange spoke briefly and I. N. Fenton, the state over seer, addressed the meeting. Mir Wood ruff contributed a humorous reading to the amusement of the audience, and with this the exercises closed.
 MT. Eaton then announced that the same committees that acted last year would do the same during the coming year, and he also appointed A. B Clia- 1 ton musical director

DIRECTORS MEETING
And Social Supper at the City Mission
 Hall

And Social Supper at the City Mission
 Hall.
 The quarterly business meeting of the directors of the city mission was held on Wednesday evening in connec- tion with a tea party for those gen. tlemen and their wives at English hall It was undertaken somewhat as an ex- pertinent, to see how the plan would suit, perhaps as mothly gathering, in anticipation of doing something of the kind to much better advantage in the new building and with the service of girls cooking class. Also, it was an experiment. to see how acceptable a supper could be served for twenty-five cents. The menu included oysters, ex- cellent coffee and cream, cold meat, baked beans, buns and butter, ice cream and cake Everything was of the finest quality. The table was taste fully arranged and everything prepared and served by the janitor. D. P. Can- dee and two assistants, no ladies talk ing any part in the preparation.
 Reports were read of the progress of the work, and especially of the building matters. Gifts not previously reported amounting to over $1,000 were an- nounced A number of friends of the work are planning to contribute but have thus far not definitely named the amounts.
 It was suggested that the children $ hall in the new building which is to be so built that it may be utilized as a girls gymnasium, might be an accept able object for some one to appropriate and pay for as a memorial. Such ex- tensive plans have been undertaken for our boys in connection with the new Y. M. c. A. building, it is thought some one may like to provide in this way for our girls who delight in and re- spond to physical culture fully as much | as the boys. If someone would propose giving $5,000 for the purpose toward the building fund, it might be considered | that this sum wound represent the cost | of this part of the building and the children's hall might be given the name of the donor. Alf Miss Humes chill dren's work will be done in this hall.

JUDGE TowNsEND's DECISION.

Judge Townsend in the United States circuit court has thrown out of court the case of the International Tooth Crown company against James Orr Kyle of New York, in which accounting was asked for because of an alleged in fringement of patent. The patent had expired, out the complainants sought payment from dentists all over the country who, they claimed, had used a patented device for bridge work in the practice of their profession. It is said that there was a collusion between the complainant and defendant in bringing the suit to compel dentists all over the country to pay alleged damages.
 It appears that there was no real controversy between the principals in the suit. A decree ordered on January. l., 1900, by the court has been annulled by Judge Townsend and the Interna- tional Crown Tooth company is order ed to pay the costs,

''It was no surprise to me when l heard
that the President had not effected
compromise of the coal strike" said Sem
ator Thomas S. Martin. of Virginia, last
night at the Riggs House. The tactics
adopted by the President will not put an
end to the labor trouble. Matter-of-facs
businessmen cannot be influenced by
any great flourish OF trumpets- They
carry on their industries IN quiet sort
of way. and any widely advertised con-
ference will have but lictle effect.
Few thinking men expected any den.
mite results from the Presidents inter.
ference. much as some settlement OF thi
labor trouble is desired. Neither Is II
likely that there will be a. special session
of Congress called to consider plans FOX
relieving the alarming condition Of tina

Senator Martin declined to make any
statements as to the probable action OF
Congress in case the coal strike continues
until that body meets 1T Is useless 10

badly find some means OF relief. il 1t be

Rules Of Foreign Travel.
r.ondon Trayen

(LCIuOu ElIdEei.}
1t is to be feared that many English
and American travellers in France ex-
pect to find the same laws and reSula-
tons obtaining on French railways as
they are accustomed to at home, anu
when they find they are very different
they are too apt to resent 1t-an attitude
which occasionally results In collisions
with the officials. The following hints
on points of railway customs and Ell
quette in connection with which trouble
often ensues may not perhaps be SUPER
fluous.
Claims to a Seattle; right to seat.
which has been engaged by placing upon
it q coat or some other article, has act
ually been leSalized by recent test
case in the French law courts. while this
right in England depends, Of course,
solely, upon custom and cannot be en-
forced. Not only this, but in France
each passenger is legally entitled to the
use of that portion OF the rack and floor
Immediately above and below his seat.
Control of windows-English travellers
often complain of the tendency OF French
travellers to keep the windows closed
unnecessarily It is the best policy to put
up with this annoyance, as an appeal 10
the guard will not. as a rule. be success
full His sympathies are likely to be with
his conpa triots, who regard the love or
Fne,ish people for open windows as q
foolish fad. and one, too, which is dan
gerous to health.
Smoking carria ges-The rule for smok-
ing on French railways is the reverse
Of that which obtains In England
Though carriages for funeurs are pro-
vided. smoking is permitted In any car
riage with the consent Of the occupant
and in practice almost every complain
ant except those labeled danes seules is
a smoking one

culIne mite has go grieved, tortured.
harassed and disturbed the good wo-.
man that she seeks a divorce.
In her bill asking a separation the
obese plaintiff makes the following
charges, which IL true show the lie
limitable meanness Of which even the
most runty little men are capable OBJ
serve the charges:
Mrs. Jane Wesley deposes and says:
az That her husband, the said defen-
dant. IJriah Wesley, annoys. 1rritatesr
and makes life burdensome for the plain
TIFF by frequently cracking unpleasant,
nointless. and distasteful mother-in-laW
Jokes.
- THAT the said defendant has often
beaten and kicked the bulldog because
1t refused, at his bidding. to bite and
wound and lacerate the flesh OF the
plaintiffs mother.
..s That the defendant has treated this
plaintiff shamefully, and her life under
h;s roof has been a constant round OF
misery.
1t would be poor Judge, indeed, who
would form an opinion Of a case on u
mere ex parte statement like that of Mrs
Wesley's,< but, concedng that what the
plaintiff states be true, we say give her
the divorce
The first ground Of complaint alone
would entitlc her to it, even though the
antics of the bulldog were entirely ig-
nored. Well can we imagine how little
Uriah has irritated his consort with MS
so-called mother-in-law jokes. which, IN
the course of time, must, as the good
woman alleges, have grown unpleasant
pontless and distasteful.' Probably II
was relief to the old lady when the bull
dog took his turn at her and proceeded
to execute those decorations which are
so feelingly described. Surely anything
would have been better than the super
animated jests which even old Joe Miller
would have scorned.'
And as for the despicable little one
hurdred-and-ten- FOUNDERS maltreatlng
his wife, we haven't doubt that what
the lady charges is true Little men are as
rule cocky and chesty and big-volced
and domineering, and, strange to say.
the smaller their proportions the more
their wives are afraid Of them. On the
other hand, Mrs. Wesley's rotundity is
an almost unrlistakable guaranty OF
amiability and submissivcness, SO IT
is pretty safe to assume that lie has
+! not been all roses for her since she sur
rendered her charms to her little slip OF
husband.
And so we say in concluding our COM
| ments on the case, that there is prlma
| ia Gle evidence that Mrs. Wesley. as well
| as her ma, has been cruelty treated
| and that she is entitled to her divorce
| The mother-in-law jokes alone are just
ground for separation.
