MARK DIDN'T WAIT.

An acquaintance of Mark Twain tells
the following amusing story:
When | lived with my brother in Buff
falo." he says, Mark Twain occupied
q cottage on the opposite side OF the
street. We didn't see very much of him,
but one morning as we were enjoying
our cigars on the %veranda, after break
fast. we saw him come to his door in his
dressing-gown and slippers and look
over at US. He stood at his door and
smoked for a minute, as if making up
his mind about something, and at last
opened his gate and ain lounging across
the street. There was an unoccupied
rocking chair on the veranda, and when
my brother offered it to him he dropped
into it with a sigh of relief. He smoked
for a few moments, and said:
mice morning
Ives. very pleasant.
Shouldn't wonder if we had rain
BY and by
We'll, we could stand a little
""This is a nice house you have here.
"'Yes; we rather like it,
Flows your family?'
ooh. we're all very veil
There was another impressive ST.
lence. and finally Mark Twain crossed
lis legs. blew a puff of smoke into the
lir, and in his lazy drawl remarked:
- suppose you're surprised to see
he over here SO early. Fact is, | haven't

to be. We must mend that state of
things. But this morning | came over
because | thought you might be inter

fire. 1t struck methat it would be a good
idea if
But at the mention of fire the whole
family rushed upstairs. When We had
put the fire out and returned 70 the YER

that the humorist hadn't waited"

WASHINGTON, June 27.--Sir Thom-
as Upton in this city spent one of the
pleasantest days of his life, according
to his own testimony. He can hope
none better, he says, unless he should
happen to see the third Shamrock cross
the line winner. President Roosevelt
reiterated his statement of two years
ago, when he met Sir Thomas, that If
the cup must go the grief would be less
severe, knowing that it went in the
good ship of such a true and persistent
sportsman as Sir Thomas Upton. Just
before taking the train for New York
Sir Thomas took one lingering look at
the statue of Victory surmounting the
dome of the capitol and with sigh,
said to General Corbin, who was bid
ding him goodby, cat least, general, |
should be complimented because you
have found it necessary to brace up
your Victory in my honor"

TROLLEY FRANCHISE
is NOW ASSURED.
Councilman Says the Central Ierssy
Company Will be Allowed to
Come into the Borough.

The franchise allowing the Jersey
Central Traction Company to run
straight down Broadway to Borden
tttown avenue, where they will connect
with M. & s. traction line, we are
positively assured by one of the Coun-
cilmen, will be granted. So we will
have the trolley through the borough
after all, instead of skirting the town
and on their own terms as far as the
route is concerned. Now it is up to
the M. & s. Traction Company to go
to the end of their route as first laid
out, if they have any desire to please
the people, and that will add greatly
to the rejoicing of the citizens of the
borough The day the Jersey Central
runs the first car through the borough
should be made gala day and holi-
day of course, so the people can cele-
brate it.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 27-Three ne
groes were lynched by a mob early this
morning at Newton, in the southwest
ern part of the state, for the murder
last Saturday of f. s. Bullard, white
man. The three negroes who fired upon
Bullard were Wiley Annette, Garfield
Mccoy and George Mckinney, though
it is stated it was the bullet from the
latter's pistol that inflicted the mortal
wound. The negroes were arrested and
placed in Jail at Newton. At midnight
last night an armed mob surrounded
the Jail, took the three negroes out and
hanged them on the same tree, less
than a mile away from the Jail. The
bodies were so riddled with bullets that
all the clothing was shot away.
