VALUE OF A SYSTEM
IN KEEPING UMBRELLAS.
Whereby No Umbrellas Need Be
Bought.

Whereby No Umbrellas Need Be
Bought.
From the New York Sun.
AS the suburban train was on the
point of pulling out of the city, in
the midst of a smart downpour the
bank cashier was seen frantfcally
tearing down the street He dashed
into the station, threw himself in a
dank and bedraggled heap upon the
last step of the last car, dragged his
heavy length up the steps to the plat
form, shook himself like a drenched
terrier, mournfully took off his SIG
Panama and dumped about a quart
of rain from the crown thereof, and
then cursed quietly under his breath.
Then he went into the car and sat
down alphabetically beside a corpulent
and placid featured man he knew,
who was a millionaire.
Pretty sharp shower remarked
the millionaire. looking him over with
the uncharitable and slightly patroniz-
ing glance of a very dry man at a
very wet one. Where's your UNI
brella?''
The cashier meekly explained that
he had no umbrella, having left the
article in question on the $40 o'clock
fore. He intended to pay visit to
the lost article room when the train
got in, and then he supposed he'd go
buy another. (Gloomily)
The millionaire shifted
You must have money to burn. &"
he said. Look at me- sir. No man
ever sees me wet and bedraggled; and
yet 1 haven't bought an umbrella for
twenty years and over"
The cashier expressed his wonder and
deep admiration.
mo, sir, not in twenty years"
reiterated the big man, visibly ex-
panding. Whenever it looks squally
and l want an umbrella, l step into
the lost article room in some big sta
ton. and l say to the chap in charge
of it.:
Excuse me. but wonder if you've
seen my umbrella? / left it on such
and such a train and l name a pref
ty wet day and a pretty wet train, for

you finished, and l got down here as
soon as you did. We're just ten min

But when is the next train?" ask
ed Mrs. Iessica.
This train" said Mr.. Jessica, rs the
Orient Express, and it leaves Tues
days and Saturdays. The next train
doesn't leave until the middle OF next
week"
MIR. Jessica says that the lesson was
effectual, and that Mrs. Jessica never
again was late for a train. But l do
not envy that bold man his domestic
experiences during their three days of
waiting.

A NEW FEATURE.
Big Stock Sale at the County Fair
to Draw Large Crowd.

On another page of the Herald
is printed today list of pedigreed
animals that will be sold at auction
at the county fair in Lancaster
Sept. 9TH. 1t is likely that addi-
tions will be made to the number
by fair time, several breeders hav-
ing signified their intentions of
bringing animals to the sale who
neglected to list them at tune the
official list was prepared. No time
limit is fixed to enter stock for the
sale, the only condition being that
it be pedigreed or eligible to regis
ter.
Auctioneer F. E. Davisson of
Mineral Point, one of the best
cryers in the state for this class of
work, has been engaged by the
fair association to take charge and
the association foots the bill Tor his
services.
A majority Of the local breeders
have entered animals for the sale,
including w. F. Mccormick, J. D.
Beetham, Roesch & Son, Ira Girls
void, Paul Spiegelberg and j. D.
Hatch.
The sale promises to be one of
the best features of the fair in so
far as the interests of breeders and
stockmen are concerned. The idea
developed in the mind of Richard
Meyer, chairman of the executive
committee of the fair, and if the
efforts being put forth to make it
a success bear fruit it will become
a permanent feature of future fairs
Many breeders of thoroughbred
stock desiring to reduce the size of
their herd fail to have sufficient
number to warrant the trouble and
expense of sale Of their own; in
this way they have all the benefits
at practically no expense and pur-
chaser has the advantage in having
greater number Of animals to
select from.
Any one desiring catalogue of
pedigreed animals can procure
same by calling upon or addressing
Pres. G. w. Ray or Secy. Geo. E.
Budd.

Resolutions Regarding the Park.

Not everyone knows that the
Park Directors can make and en-
force law for the park. Curiosity has
taken a great many people there al
ready, many with teams. They have
been reckless or thoughtless and a
good deal of injury has been done
already. The directors held meet
ing August Sth and passed the fol
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, By the Lancaster Park
and Pleasure Drive Association, that
hereafter no person shall hitch any
horse or horses to any tree or shrub in
Schreiner Park. under penalty as pro-
vided by statute for violation of the
rules and regulations of said Associa-
ton; and any person hitching any
horse or horses to any tree or shrub,
as aforesaid, shall be liable not only
to the penalty aforesaid, but for all
damages said. Association may sustain
by reason of injury to it's property oc-
casioned by such violation.
Resolved, By the Lancaster Park
and Pleasure Drive Association, that
hereafter any person using Schreiner
Park for picnic purposes shall, i'm
mediately upon the termination of the
picnic attended by him, remove from
said park all papers and litter brought
or occasioned by him or resulting from
such picnic, under penalty as provided
by statute for violation of the rules
and regulations of said Association.
The directors determined that a
temporary hitching rail should be
put up barring entrance by teams
to the main low ground of the
park. Hitching and driving there
in is running trees and shrubs, and
is making filthy the places where
people want to picnic and enjoy
themselves.

Mahara's Mlnstrels.

When will the minstrel show
grow old? Judging by it's present
popularity it's freshness will be
perennial. After 16 years of ex-
perience in the minstrel business
Mahara Brothers this year have to
offer perhaps the most complete
combination of experienced ingenui-
ty and knowledge of theatrical
effects in the way of minstrelsy
that was ever put on the road
before. Unlike other minstrel or
CARNATIONS the Maharas seem to
have struck a happy thought in
putting forth performance that
properly could be termed a rag
time operetta and this of course
includes all the later innovations
and specialties of the east. Mahara's
famous challenge band and orchestra
will give a street parade at noon,

NARROW ESCAPE.
Earth Caves in on Two Men of ThOs.
McDOnald's Bridge Builders.

Arthur TreIoar and Albert Zeig-
Ter, two of Thos. McDonald's bridge
builders, narrowly escaped death
while assisting in erecting a bridge
on the road q miles west OF Mt.
Hope yesterday.
They were building the bridge
over dry ditch, and holes had been
dug on each bank about fourteen
feet deep, where mudsills had been
placed.
Treloar and Ziegler were down in
one of these holes preparing to start
the bridge work, when the bank
gave way without warning, pinning
both men to the opposite bank.
Ziegler was buried only to his face,
and was released without serious
difficulty; but Treloar had about D
feet of dirt above his head, and was
for some time under ground. When
the men got to him he was uncon-
scious and remained so for some
time.
When the dirt struck Treloar he
threw his arm up before his face,
which allowed him a very small
breathing space. The pressure of a
large rock on his stomach allowed
him to breathe only sufficient
amount to keep life in the body,
which saved the small allowance of
air until he was rescued.
When TrelOar was rescued DR..
Orr of Mount Hope was there to
attend to him, and he was soon re-
vived. He is still very lame and
badly bruised, but withall thankful
for his escape.

is likely that he will continue in
that line of work.

What is the cause of water seek
ing a lower level? In an early day
wells sunk so to 100 feet were con-
sidered deep. Now many wells on
some ground are four to five humid

the water supply has become a
serious matter.
Several new buildings are near
