MI. Fisher had been more or less
i'll during the past winter with
heart and lung troubles, but with
characteristic fortitude had, for the
most part, attended to his duties at
the Court House regularly up to
some ten days before his death,

ADJUSTMENTS.
At East Lake Casino.

Next week the Casino management will send another vaudeville show. This class of entertainment has proved so ponnlar with the audiences at the out door theatre that the management will try and cater to the taste of their olientel One of the feature acts on the bill 10 Lioneu Strong fort the physie-. wonder of the twentieth century.
 The Richmond News-Leader has the following to say of Strongfort:
 Manager Wells is certainly bringing acts to Richmond and the rest of his cir emit that places these cities right high in the vaudeville world. and the audiences at the Casino certainly have been treated 10 some fine acts by the Casinos enter prsing, popular manager. Some of the greatest hits in vaudeville have been brought here directly from New York and the people of this cit don't have to be content with reading about the won- der workers of the stage-they see them. Just so last night when an immense aud fence saw an act that kept New York in- terested for eleven weeks. The number was presented by the modern hercules wh gave a demonstration of the control he has over his muscles; it was simply marvellous.
 A Richmond audience never saw the like. The strong man had his muscles jumping and playing and the points of development caused wonder. His feats of strength were wonderful and at the close of the act there was an enthusiastic burst of applause that told LOW well the people appreciated the efforts of the young American who Is going to Europe to win fame He performs numerous feats of strength with surprising cas- and Is sure to stand well witt the public while here"

Women Easier to Awaken Than Men.

From the St. Louis Globe-D Democrat
 "It is immeasurably harder to awaken men in the morning than 1t Is women.' George w. Collins, hotel proprietor n- forms me. "A tap or two at a woman's door in the morning Is sufficient. No matter how late she may have retired. no matter how exhausted she may have been. no matter how faint the yes in answer to the knock that comes from the bed you can bank on it that within half an hour or so that woman will walk into the dining room bright-eyed and cheerful; but with a maxwell, it's df- ferent.
 "A man may leave a call for o'clock in the morning with the warming that he must be up at that hour. A few min utes before seven you detail a boy for the purpose and tell him not to stop pounding until the man awakes. The room may be on the top floor but you can hear the thump. thump, thump. on the door way down in the office. Does the man wake with faint yes and scramble out of bed? Not he? The boy knocks until his knuckles are sore and then suddenly a stentorian voice roars from the room. Yes, yes. what in blazes Is the matter with you? Do you think I'm dead? The boy retires turns in his report at the office and goes to ease his hand in cold water.
 "Three hours later a swollen-eyed indi- vidual with wrinkles in his brow, walks up to the desk I thought I left call here for o'clock in the morning. You did and the bell boy woke you promptly at r. That's little too strong, is the answer, and after you've argued with him for half an hour you havnt convine- ed him that he was actually awakened as he had ordered. So it goes day after day The women get up promptly in response to call, while the men in- variably turn over to have another nap"

vEsT,o DOG SPEECH.
One of the Things That Gave Him
 Fame as an Orator.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Vest was a ready debater and an elo- 3ouent orator, who was at his best in extempore speech His plea before the jury in case wherein one man sued another for damages inflicted by dogs bite, Is famous:
 "Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has In the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with lov- ing care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that man has he may lose. It flies away from him and perhaps when he needs it most. A mans reputation may be sacrificed in mo- ment of i'll considered action. The peo- pie who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles it's cloud upon our heads
 The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treach- erous is his dog. mans doG stands by him in prosperity and in poverty in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wntry winds blow and the snow dryes fiercely, If only he may be near his masters side. 5Ie will kiss the Land that has no food ato offer. He will lick the wounus and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the ssleep of his pauper master as if he wera prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and Population falls to pieces he is as con- stant in his love as the sun in its jour sneys through the heavens If fortune sdrives the master forth an eutcast in sthe world. friendles and Aoneless, the Faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard n gainst danger, to fight against his ene- emies.
 k And when the last scene of all comes and death. takes the master in Its em- -brace and his body is laid away in the -dold ground. no matter if all other friends pursue their way there by his graveside ~will the noble dog be found, his head Between his paws. his eyes sad, but open ,lin alert watchfulEess. faithful and true Aeyen in death.'
