The practice OF shooting cut the
old year has obtained in this town
from the earliest time. But this
morning the shooters did not confne
their aim to the passing year. Some
Of the more reckless Of the marks
men turned their guns upon the arc
and incandescent lamps Of the electric
light plant and shot them all out with
the dead year They also shot the
power away, too, leaving the town in
darkness and helplessness. and thus
for the space OF an hour OF two every.
thing was brought to q standstin.
All this happened at an unfortunate
time for 2 newspaper Office. which

The Canadians themselves were
aware OF the wealth that lay there,

During the year 1901 upwards OF

10000 during the year 1902. and it is

A London paper says it is a startling
fact that although the organization
and control Of traffic in the streets Of
London are supposed to be Of un-
equaled excellence. nearly eighty per-
sons lose their lives every week upon
its highways OF ninety deaths in Lon
don last week resulting from other
than natural causes, there was one Of
homicide, nine Of suicide and eighty
one Of either accidents or negligence.

The most remarkable match on rec
ord has been in progress for over a
hundred years. In 1898 Count Francis
Of Bourbon. who was noted for his skill
at chess. made a wager with an aristo-
cratic rival that he would beat him at
six games running, one to be played on
the anniversary of his birthday every
year. If he did not live to carry out
his boast, his descendants would do it
for him, the money to be the reward Of
the side which accomplished the feat.
Although the struggle has been drawn
out to such an unexpected length, there
IS every prospect of its being shortly
terminated and the prize, which has
vastly increased in value. won. for the
counts descendants suffered their
fourth consecutive defeat--Tit-Bits.
