The last fortnightly payroll of the
employees of the Cushnoc Paper Co.
amounted to $500. This was for $50
men. about 40 more than the usual
number. The greater part of the ex-
ira help is employed in cutting wood on
the McDavid lot northwest of the
city. The company is economizing on
coal by burning wood from that lot,
and the total cut of the season will
amount to more than a thousand cords.
Joseph Nicholas is foreman of the crew
iE the wood lot On the window sill III
the company's office, rest several rocks
of a pound to ten pounds weight which
were taken out of the coal that they
bought for this season. They are eX-
cellent specimens of the stone forma-
tion of Pennsylvania, but extremely
poor fuel, their only recommendation
for the fireboX being the lasting quail
ties. The mill is using about 10 to IL
tons of coal daily, in addition to the
wood, or, rather, the wood is used to
supplement- the coal They expect to
have 600 tons of coal arrive or next
week which will last them through the
month of March. The daily freight of
this mill amounts to more thar four
carloads. or a yearly total of 1900 cars
or more in round numbers.

Famous Korean Twins in Boston.

Lao -Toun Chen and Liao- Sein- Ne
Chen, the queer oriental freaks who are
even more wonderful than the famous
Slamese twins, are coming to Austin &
stones museum in Boston next week.
Though they look alike and are of the
same age. the band of cartilege which
unites them does not make them two
souls with but a single thought" They
are, in fact, two distinct persons in ev-
cry respect. These twins. born in
Korea, are almost exact counterparts
Of Chan and Eng, the Siamese boys
who were at one time the wonder of
the world. The Korean twins are
even more remarkable. They turn
about in every direction which the
Siamese twins could not do. They
romp, play ball, ping pong and other
games. They will be at Austin &
Stones for two weeks

There is one young man in town who
is now convinced of the truth of the
statement that haste makes waste" if
never before. He encountered q freight
train on Rines hill crossing, yesterday
morning, and not wishing to wait
climbed up between the cars and
jumped down on the other side. Just
as he jumped, however, the train
started, and off went his hat. 1t was a
derby hat, and the wheels caught it and
jammed it into more shapes in Is sec
onds than Paris milliner could devise
in u years. The whole train went over
that hat, and each car wheels left it's
mark upon it, and when the caboose at
the tail end of the train had left the
remains Of the hat behind it, the young
man let it remain right there on the
track, while he sought hat store.

NEPHEW A MURDERER.

Peter Ouloosian was murdered by his
nephew, Sarlds Nargashian, and Kasper
Nigohian. They knew that Ouloosian had
been working hard to provide support for
himself and his wife In their declining
days.
They knew that so great was ouloos-
ian's love OF his compatriots that he was
willing, nay anxious, to advance his saw
ings as loan that the Armenian chill
dren of the North End Of the city might
be provided with a school OF their own,
in which both the native and the English
tongues would be used.
Ouloosian was kind TO his nephews ana
was deserving OF every CONSIDERATION
from them. Instead Nargashian and
Nlgohian inveigled Ouloosian into Peter
J. McElroy's saloon at 464 Smith street.

murderers escorted their intended victim
into McElroys place. A round or beer
was called for and served. but before the
glasses were half-emptied another was
called for.

scheme for determining whether Ouloos-
ian had his big money with hifA.

Then the trick OF filling up. OF doping

while Ouloosian kept on drinking. the
others surreptitiously dumped their beer
into a cuspidore.
This aroused his suspicious that the
men meant mischief. and caused him 10
speak to his bartender and ask the latter
TO keep his eyes upon them.
This feeling and expression OF appre-
hension proved On the end the downfall
OF the murderers.
The bartender said that he guessed no
harm was meant He knew the men a.

REPORT
ENTIRELY
UNTRUE
Alaskan Boundary Commission
Has Not Decided In Favor
Of United States.

London. Oct. 1s.-The Associated Press
has the highest authority for saying that
the announcement made by the London
Morning Advertiser today that the deci-
sion of the Alaskan boundary commission
virtually comedies the American case Is
entirely untrue.
The commission thus far has reached
no desision and no vote has been taken
even In the private sessions which would
Indicate chief Justice Aiverstones posi-
ton.
1t is quite true that the general trend OF
opinion among those connected with the
tribunal, aside from the commissioners Is
that the ultimate decision will be I'm ia
vor OF America; but there Is as yet not
the slightest warrant for saying that It
has been reached.
