Shanghai rooster.
Bravely stood it all until the petit
coated victim of antiquities had q tester
bed hauled up in dray. A tester bed,
YOU know is one of those fellows that
have tall posts which reach up to the
ceiling, and is SO high above the floor
that you have to use a spring board to
jump into it. To save my life can't
tell whether the thing was built merely
to support mosquito netting or to train
circus athletes. Since I've been sleeping
in it I feel like a cave-dweller, and il
perchance I were to fan out OF the bed it
would take all my poor relations to
pick up the pieces. The Commander-in-
Chief climbs up into it by standing on the
top of her sewing machine
And So to sum things up we are as
unhappy and as uncomfortable as the
widest expenditure of money could make
one, but we are thoroughly antique. If

days. And to add to the external effect,
I am thinking OF transforming our gutter
into a moat and building a draw bridge

that all we need is an antique baby-an

grandfather's clock, or cabinet, or any
thing that is cobwebby and uncomforta-

quite overlook the fact that most of
these antiques have been made in Hobo

WHY HE SHOT AT KING.
Anarchist Attempted Leopold's Life Be-
cause Of His Inhumanity,

BRUSSELS, Nov. IL-Accorulns {,
some reports, Rubino, in the course o.
his examination before the magistrate
declared that he selected King Leopold
for his attack on account of his majes
tvs inhuman conduct toward hit
daughter, Princess Stephanie, at tn.
time Of her mothers death, and he alst
wished to show to the anarchists II
London who suspected his loyalty that
while they only talked, he act~. He
would have killed King Edward, he
added, but for the strong feeling of the
English people in favor of the mon
archy.
The attempted assassination of King
Leopold is still the chief topic of con.
versation here His majesty had been
to the cathedral at Brussels, accompa
MED by members of the royal family
and court officials, to attend "Te
Deum' in memory of the late Queen
Marie Henriette. The royal carriages
were passing the Bank of Brussels, in
the Rue Royale, when an Italian fired
three shots from revolver.
Fortunately no one was hurt, but
bullet passed through the window of
the Count dOultremont, the grand mar.
shal Of the court, and grazed the
counts face.

LOCAL CHRISTIAN
SCIENTISTS OBEY.

Christian Scientists of Whining
ton accept without question the ad-
vice given out few days since by
Mrs. G. Baker Eddy that until
public thought becomes better ac-
quainted with Christian Science
the Christian Scientists shall decline
to doctor infectious diseases"
Like other followers of Mrs. Eddy,
the members Of the Wilmington
branch of the Christian Science
Church have not limited their
practice, whom called upon in cases
of illness, to any particular sort of
disease. Tie acceptance of Mrs.
Eddy's suggestion will debar them
from treating many Of the more
simple and less dangerous ailments,
as well as diseases of more serious
character. Included in the diseases
which Mrs. Eddy asks the Christian
Scientists to refrain from treating
are not only those ailments which
are most common among adults,
but also those complaints to which
children are especially liable.

MUST PAY BIG BILL.
Miss yeatman Will Find Herself About as
Much Out of Pocket as DIR. Pyle.

Miss yeatman Will Find Herself About as
Much Out of Pocket as DR.. Pyle.
The bill Of costs that Miss Mary
Florence Ieatman will have to paw
by reason Of having lost her case in
the West Ches ter Court will be a
heavy one. There were not far from
fifty witnesses subpoenaed, when all
who attended on botE sides are count
ed. They were there at a previous
term OF Court and probably stayed
two DAYS at that time. The case was
then continued, but they are all eu-
Titled to their fees. Last week they
were in C,urt four days. If paid SC
apiece ana mileage there will be a
big bill. Probably not less tnan $500
for witness fees alone. Incn the
Prothonotary's charges must be
added aud her counsel fees. Tnc
total viii probably not be iess than
the $500 fine that Doctor Pyle had
TO pay when he pleaded guilty in the
Quarter Sessions to the charge Of
assault and tnLlery.
Miss featman received no part Of
that tine. 1t Was paid TO the county
and One-half OF it IN common with
all similar sums, paid as fines, went
to the support Of the West Chester
Law Library. The Sheriff, to whom
the fines are paid, receives three per
Cent lor Banding the money. THIS
is a good Illustration of Tile expenses
and uncertainties Of gong to law.

P. r. r. WILL RAISE
MANY MORE SALARIES.

Doubt has been expressed among
men in the employ Of the Peunsyl-
vania Railroad regarding the man
ner in which the 10 per cent. in
crease would he adjusted in salaries
ranging from $lS5 up to the limit of
$500.
There are number of men whose
salaries come within these fl cures,
and they have not known whether
they would be advanced to 5000
without regard to what the per cent.
would make their salary.
This matter has been set at rest
by the statement that the full 10
per cent. would be paid, reg ardless
of whether it brought the salary to
more than $500 or not.
In many cases this will result in
revision of salaries, and will be the
canse of giving number of other
men advances, for there are many
men who have assistants with sal
aries a few dollars less than their
own, who will now find their assis-
tants drawing larger salaries than
they do.

King LeOpOld's Assailant,

ROME, Nov. 1.-THE ministry of the
interior has established the identity OF
the assailant Of King Leopold. His
name is Gennaro Rubino, and he is de
scribed in their records as an advanced
socialist. He was condemned to a long
term of Imprisonment for stealing al
Milan in 1893, but he effected his es.
cape to lagland, where he is supposed
to have imbibed his anarchist princi
pies. His father was patriotic com
munal councillor, but Rubino while
still serving in the army was con
demncd to five years detention for
writing subversive newspaper article.
These are the only criminal records
that have been found against him.
Since leaving Italy he has resided con-
tinuously in Scotland and England
first in Glasgow and aftcrward in Lon.
don. Some years ago he was accused
of trcachery by his anarchist friends
onh aynallad from their ranks.

A RAILWAY.
Schenectady Trades Assembly Trying to
Tic Up City System.

| SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Nov. IT,
The executive committee of the trades
assembly was In session during Sum
day arranging details of the boycott
against the Schenectady Railway COM
pany. The boycott officially went into
effect at midnight, but was not actually
enforced until 6 o'clock this morning.
Seventy men, ale from each union,
will watch the cars and will be aided
by others if necessary. Every union
man found riding on the cars will lose
his union card. Every business man
will be warned not to ride again and
will be boycotted if the warning is dis
regarded. II any employee continues to
ride after being warned, his employer
will be notified to discharge him. There
are, it is estimated, $500 persons who
live at such distance from their work
that they are dependent upon the cars.
1t has also been decided to extend
the boycott to the use of gas and cleo
tric light, both Of which are manufac-
tured and controlled by the Schenec-
tady Railway company. Members Of
unions, business men and the general
public will be asked not to use gas or
electric light. and the trades assembly
is considering petitioning the common
council to cancel the contract which
the company has for lighting the
streets with arc lights.
The trades assembly has arranged
for the importation of seventy carry
alls to carry men to and from work.
The trades assembly officers state posi-
lively that it will not tolerate violence
of any sort. There are about 250 mo.
tormen and conductors employed by
the Schenectady Railway company at
$3.50 day, and the refusal of the COM
pany to compel these men to join a
union is the cause Of the boycott. The
majority of the men express them
selves as perfectly satisfied and say
that they do not want to be unionized.
There is strong undcrcurrent of Op- |
position to the boycott among trades !
union members, and public sentiment
Is unanimously with the company.

AS THANKSGIVING DAY APPROACHES
PRICE OF FOWLS WILL INCREASE

is every indication that there will
be an abundance Of them.
At present there are comparatively
few turkeys Ia The local market;
because OF the warm weather the
farmers are not active in sending
them to market. Saturday turkeys
brought from / to l3 cents pound
retail.
Then there is the wild fowl of
the same family, which brought
10 aud II cents pound retail.
1t IS but reasonbIe to expect cold
weather by Thanksgiving day, and
in that event prices will advance.
The fowl that has never yet lost
any OF its popularity in any season
the chicken-will also be available
to all who may want them, il indca
ti0ns prove true, at the usual prices
from - to IS cents pound.

As the day for giving thanks to
our Creator for ali the blessings we
have received during thc-vear ap.
proaches, the question whIcn inter-
estS The m orItv of the people is,
What shall We have Tor uinner on
til at holiday?
IN due time, there will be a long
list from which to choose. And al
though at present tho supply is
limited, owing to the unreasonable
weather, there is every reason to
suppose that when the time comes
there will be at least an adequate
supply of aim ost everything in the
line Of meat that has acquired a
high place in the Thanksgiving day
menu. The turkey certainly has
been awarded the supreme position.
And with regard to this fowl there
