 BEAT THE WIDOW.-James Kehoe of Jerome left that city for Denver not long ago, and on the same train was a widow named Mrs. Minerva Al len. TEe Jerome Reporter was led to remark that it was probable a wedding would soon follow. A dispatch from Denver announces that Kehoe was ar rested on a train bound for Cripple Creek. The charge was that he had induced Mrs. Allen to go to Denver to buy a wedding trousseau, borrowed $500 Of her money and left her at the depot. When arrested Kehoe's real wife was travelling with him. and had no knowledge Of his crooked work
 4 BIG JACK KNIFE.-Captain T. G. Cree of this city has the biggest jack knife that ever came over the pike. It is so big in fact that it is no account except to kill people. The captain does not follow that avocation regularly. and just now he is not working at that trade at all But he thinks d lot Of the knife, for it is a keepsake and has history. The handle is of buckhorn and about nine inches long. The blade is about seven and a half inches Ions. and about an inch of it has been worn off in the half century it has been in use. Captain Cree was given the knife about eight years ago by Captain Gris- woid. for whom he was working a min ing property near Clifton, and who has died since then. During the war Cap tain GriswOld was in charge of a gun boat, and made q good record for him. self before Nicksburg. But that had nothing to do with the knife. or at least not so far as Captain Cree knows, though it probably did have just the same. Long before the war. while Cap tain Griswold was still q young man. he at one time had charge of vessel in Chinese waters, which WAS manned by Chinese crew of 800 men. and he had the big knife with him ar the time. for that much information was fur nished the present owner. That the knife had occasion to do some bloody work is quite reasonable to suppose from the dramatic way in which Cap- tain GriswOld left his ship. The crew mutinied while he was in sight of land and he decided at once that he would rather face an angry sea than horde of angry Chinamen. so he blew up the ship, jumped overheard and swan to shore. being the only survivor of the wreck.

BRYAN AS MAJOR GAHAGAN..

Colonel Bryan says that the "harmo- niZers" may return to the fold on con- dition that they submit to the will of the majority. But what is the major ity? "The majority-I am it." the man from Lincoln intimates in the cheerful ly conclusive way that Louis the Great used to say, "L'etat-c'est moi"
 In "The Tremendous Adventures of Major Goliah O'Grady Gahagan" We are told that the famous soldier, In drawing up the list of his forces. set himself down as equal to several thou sand fighting men. So Colonel Bryan in the affairs of the democracy, is equivalent to about 20000O voters.
 The colonel does not think of sub hitting to the will of the majority. ag demonstrated in two presidential cleo. tions. He does not think that it is hit duty to do so. His first duty is to him. self. He has the will and the power to stick, in spite of all the efforts of his enemies to shake him off. And that is why heavenly harmony remains a dream as far as his dearest foes are concerned.-New York Sun.

 But we want to call your attention to the loaded shell we are selling. It is the Native Sons in smokeless and the Prairie and Eureka in black powder.
 The black powder shells F gauge, are 5Oc per box. The Smokeless shells. F gauge, are 65c per box. We have customers who say they are as good as they ever used.
 They are not special" loaded nor arc they hand" loaded. Nor do we get them in 100000 lots. But they are first class and the price is right. They are well and uniformly loaded by a ma chine that excels in accuracy any hu- man hands.
 We buy in small quantities and often because it pays us to do so and our stock is fresher.
 Our trade on shells is large but We want to increase it. We expect to do this by buying the best shell we can get and selling it at a price compara- lively low. Honest goods at an honest price brings business.

THE OLD PHILADELPHIA MINT, SLOWLY
CRUYBLlNG TO RUIN TO BE TORN DOWN

was so important and its usefulness so
far-reaching that it enjoyed dignity
and -eminence above that accorded
to general Government departments. A
marvellous fact in connection with the
Philadelphia mint is that in the century
of its existence there has been no dis
honesty within the institution, and the
breath of suspicion has not fallen upon
any one OF the hundreds of persons con-
nected Herewith. The confidence re-
posed in them has never been violated.
The old mint building soon to be torn
down became too small for the demands
of the institution several years ago. In
1883 there were coined at the mint H.
600. 900 pieces. In 1895 there were coined
there 1000, 900 pieces: this gives some
idea OF the marvellous growth OF tne
business of this mint and the increasing
demand for greater facilities and more
room. 1t also explains the necessity for
the magnificent new mint building erect
ed by the Government at the corner OF
Sixteenth and Spring Garden Streets. to
take the place of the old Philadelphia
