Her Partner Was Her Pail Bearer

Williamsport News: A we'll known
and popular Williamsport young wo-
man had a unique experience at
masquerade ball Monday night. A few
months ago the young woman in ques-
tion was critically i'll, suffering from
what was supposed to be an incurabie
disease. The family and her friends
had given up all hope of saving her
life, and her death was expected at any
moment. The young lady herself had
given up all hope of recovery and had
selected the persons whom she desired
to carry the casket containing her body
to the grave. 1t was at this juncture
that someone suggested to the young
woman's mother that she secure the
services of a consumptive specialist.
The suggestion was acted upon and
under the treatment the young woman
rapidly recovered. The cure attracted
widespread attention and was much
commented upon at the time.
And here comes the unique part of
the story. The young lady, compile
tely restored to her health, was among
large number who attended mas
querade ball last night at Montours-
vile and was among the gayest of the
gay throng. When the order to un-
mask was given, however, she was
somewhat startled to discover that
the partner with whom she had been
dancing was one of the young men
whom few months ago she had elect
ed to act as pail bearer. The circum-
stance was noticed by a number and
regarded as decidedly unusual Incl
dent.

4 joint meeting of the two COM

held at the Brownsville Club room
Yesterday afternoon, at which it
was decided that no further steps
would be taken towards securing
the bonus, until some assurance
could be received from Mr.. Lott to
guarantee the building of the road

be the general opinion that our

structed to write Mr.. Lott, inform
ing him of these things, and the
committees will await a reply from

LIMANTOUR'S IDEA.
Proposal for Bettering Condition
of Silver Originated With
Him.

Mexico City, Mex, Jan. 3O.-The
news from Washington regarding
the joint endeavor Of Mexico and
China to accomplish something for
the improvement in value OF silver
excites the liveliest interest in bus
mess and financial circles here.
The action was primarily taken
bv Finance Minister Limant"ur,
who sent commission to Wash
ington with instructions to approach
the United States Government and
to secure if possible the cooperation
of China. The Chinese charge
d'affaires was not able to take I'M
mediate action, and as the sessions
of the American Congress are ap-
proaching their close the Mexican
note was presented alone.
However, the OhlneSe chal Ae
daffaires telegraphed the text OF
the said note verbatim to his Gov
eminent and five days later recelv-
ed instructions TO cooperate with
Mexico. Thus the entire initiative
oor,a from Mexico's Finance Min
lister and his action here is regarded
as a master stroke, and much salts
faction is felt at the energetic efforts

this is that the muscles of the lower

Perhaps the most difficult Of all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe. In
addition to being very rare CRATES are
exceedingly timid and are very swift
footed. There is no special way to cap
ture giraffe, US almost every way has
been tried, and all have been almost
equally unsuccessful The methodwhich
has occasionally resulted in capture
Is by using long cord, at each end Of
which is round weight. This cord is
thrown by the hunter in such a manner
as to wind round the animals legs,
either bringing 1t to the ground or rem
dering it incapable of escaping before
1t is made prisoner. Most Of the
CRATES in captivity have been caught
by chance when young.
