Sunshine Society

The dance, supper and entertain
ment given by the Sunshine Society
of Duquesne and Washington Camp
on last Monday evening, was a
complete and perfect success in all
particulars.
1t was in the nature of an OPP
portunity for the gathering of the
clans in that vicinity and all who
were faithful to the Democratic
cause, and the way the Democrats
responded, was a caution. The
supply of Mark Smith buttons was
soon exhausted and signs point to
big Democratic majority in that
precinct.
The evening was a continual
round of pleasure and dancing
continued until 4 o'clock in the
morning. Supper was served in a
tent, erected for the purpose, and it
was one of the best.
At midnight Nominee for the
Assembly Whiteside was called up
on and in response made a speech
on the issues of the day and point
ed out many reasons why the
straight county ticket should be
elected.
The Society will give number
of entertainments this winter and
they will all be we'll attended.

DECLINE OF MOTORCYCLE.
Practical Requirements
in England.

Consul Mahin, Of Nottingham, Eng
land, writes that efforts to overcome
the unpopularity of the motor bicycle,
because of it's failure to meet every
condition of road travel, nave proved
unsuccessful. The consul says:
THE chief promise of the motor cy-
Gle rested in the expectation that these
Objectionable points would eventually
be eliminated. But they have not been,
and the expectation that they will be
is fading away. Consequently, those
who have the machines are growing
anxious to sell them at any procurable
price, while those who nave none are
beyond temptation to buy at almost
any figure. The result, of course, is a
collapse in market prices. New motor
bicycles, which year ago sold at $375,
are now offered at SIPS. Several firms,
formerly engaged extensively in max
ing motor cycles, have entirely aban-
doned that branch. AS might be ex-
pected, the ordinary bicycle is in cor
respondingly high favor. The output
of factories is large at present and
prices are firm. These conditions are
not likely to be disturbed unless the
motor cycle should be SO radically i'm
proved as to remedy its present seri-
Gus faults"

SCANDAlOUS EXECUTION.
Inhuman Conduct of Crowds About
Guillotine in Town in North
of France.

Paris.-The guillotining of two MUIR
derers at Dunkirk recently was accom-
panied with details causing a great
scandal. The condemned were two
Flemish men who had killed for her
money the wife of well-to-do barge
man in the north of France.
Long before the hour arrived for the
men to meet their fate bowling mob
held possession of the precincts where
the prison is situated. The soldiery and
police were unable to control them.
The complete Generalization of even
the officials was shown by the fact that
they came near granting petition by
the husband of the murdered woman
that he be allowed, on payment of $4,000,
to let the knife drop on the necks of the
doomed men.
They promised him instead place in
the front rank of the privileged spec
tators so that his wife's assassins must
be sure to see him as soon as they were
brought near to the guillotine. This
promise was kept, the old bargeman
wearing a horrible grin of pleasure as
the prisoners met him face to face on
the way to their death. The first man
met his fate bravely. AS soon as his
head dropped in the basket yell Of
savage bloodthirstiness went up from
the crowd.
There were cries of death, death,
torture him!" as the second culprit was
placed beneath the knife. Unfortun-
ately. Deibler grew nervous and dropped
the blade unskillfully, crushing the VIC
TINS head instead of cutting it off.
Then the crowd burst through lines
OF soldiers and tried to seize the two
headless bodies and carry them in tri-
umph through the town, but finally were
thrust back by the police only after the
enactment of horrid orgy, something
like the ancient death festivals.
The last outrageous detail of the oc
casion happened when the Paris re-
porters demanded that the heads be
placed in wagon where they could be
photographed. This was allowed by
the authorities and the pictures of the
heads appeared next day in all the Paris
papers.
Based on this execution, strong pro-
test, headed by Joseph Rheinach, will
be made against capital punishment as
snca as the chamber OF deputies reas-

DIDN'T KNOW FORMER WIFE
Man Marries Woman Whom He Fails
to Recognize as His First
Helpmeet.

Helena, Mont.-Remarried 20 years
after they had been divorced, the man
not knowing, when the marriage cere-
mony was performed, that the woman
at his side was his former wife, was
the matrimonial experience of west
ern couple now enjoying a second
honeymoon in the east.
The woman, however, knew the Sc
cret, but found enjoyment in not re-
vealing 1t to the man until after he
was again her husband.
James Hurlbutt and Ruth Emery
were married when he had not arrived
at mans estate. She was Is. Less
than month before the marriage they
had met for the first time at the home
of friend in Quebec. After brief
honeymoon he set out alone for the
states to seek fortune in the west
A misunderstanding arose not long
after he left. Angry letters passed
between them and soon she wrote him
1t was her wish that their correspon-
dence should cease. and he consented.
He was in Chicago when her letter
came, but at once left there and trav-
eled farther west Relenting, the wife
hurried to Chicago, but found no trace
of Hurlbutt.
Some years later she secured a
divorce on the grounds of desertion
and married Rufus Beresford, mine
owner. He died in New Mexico, leav-
ing several properties in Montana.
The widow came to Helena and rec
ognized her former husband at a hotel.
She was stranger to him. She en-
gagged him to examine her properties.
The friendship thus established led to
love. After the ceremony she told him
her secret and de declared he was
doubly delighted.

BRITISH MUSEUMS BOOKS.
Reading-Room Constantly Crowded
by Students Investigating
Various Subjects.

In the reading-room Of the British
museum the desks are crowded with
students all day long, and in addition
to the books of reference, some TO-
in number, which fill the open shelves
of the room, from 5000 to 1000 vol
umes are given out every day. The
ology in wide sense, including the
Bible, Biblical literature, church his
tory and works on the religious rites
and ceremonies of all races and creeds,
is easily at the head of the list, with
about 300 volumes. Topography comes
next, with about 20 fewer, and of these
books on London amount to quarter,
books on English topography to an
other quarter, the other half being
for the rest Of the world. History and
biography come next, English history
being mostly in demand, and books
on France and the French provinces
second.
Essays, criticisms and miscellaneous
literature take the fourth place, and
are followed by fiction-not less than
five years old-moral philosophy, po-
etry and the fine arts, the drama, law
and philology, political economy and
SO on down to politics, mathematics
and chemistry, which have about 40
volumes apiece, and, lastly, workh on
naval and military subjects, which sell
dom have more than three or Jour vol
umes each. 1t is curious list, and
throws a useful light on the sort of
studies taken up by the readers in
the museums.

HUMoR IN A CABLE CODE.
English Bank Ordered Extra Money
to Prevent Misinterpreta-
ton Of Message.

Most people would consider that
bank clerks who are able to find any
amusement in their-to most of them
embarrassing occupation, must be
possessed Of lively Imagination, says
the London Bankers Magazine. A
bank clerks duties are monotonous in
the extreme. The continuous posting
OF ledgers, or writing-up of pass books,
must have a deadening effect. Still,
there are occasions when bank men are
able to smile, possibly even 10 laugh.
The following, we think, will prove our
contention: Not very long ago, for
eign bank was approached on behalf
OF lady who was seriously Ill, and
was asked to inform her husband
(then in India) of the fact, and of her
urgent need of $50. The banks code,
which contained only phrases connect
ed with mercantile transactions, did
not enable the message to be short
ened; the only code word, in fact,
which could be used was that for ESQ
-"laxative"-and the message thus
head: Inform x. Y wife seriously i'll,
urgently requires laxative" In this
form the message might easily have
been misunderstood, there being moth
ing therein to suggest that the banks
code was being used. In order to
prevent any misinterpretation, the
bank altered the amount to E55, US
ing the relative code word, one which
would be recognized at once as being
used In other than its literal sense.
Mrs. Y. received 955, and, no doubt,
she still attributes the additional
95 to the good nature Of her husband!

CHARACTER AS AN ASSET.
It Has Much to Do with a Mans
Credit and Standing in the
Business World.

ibid you ever stop to think Just how
much character has to do with mans
credit in the business world?" asked a
man of the Milwaukee Sentinel. while
it is not regarded as good business
principle from a bankers standpoint
to loan money out without sufficient
and good property security, still 1t Is
done a great many times. man will
enter a banks doors with the request
for a loan and if he is sized up as hon.
est and possessed of business acumen
he will hardly ever fail to get credit
for any reasonable amount.
"That is not so true in the east as
It is out west. In the east different
atmosphere prevails, while in the west
men of means will take mans char
acter as his principal asset. That fact
has had a great deal to do with the de-
velopment of the &C untry. In Scotland,
/ am told, a man with good character
and known to possess business ability
can secure any reasonable amount OF
money to start in business without
giving any security other than his
promissOry note.
1.-THE same principle prevails to a
great extent in selling goods on the
road. Some houses will not deliver an
order unless the buyer is rated highly.
But have sold many an order and at
the same time written my house that
the buyer is all right, although his
financial standing is not known. The
house will often take the salesman's
word for 1t.
"Of course, sometimes the man who
risks on no security comes out at the
little end of the horn. But 1t is the
exception rather than the rule"

Antique Wager.

the following: ION Wed. 20 (August)

Taaf, Esq, against the earl of March

miles an hour; it was performed in SO
minutes and q seconds Each of the
horses was ridden by jockey, and
only harnessed to the carriage by loose
straps. Between the hind wheels sat
another jockey, who guided the car
riage by moving handle like that of
the modern bicycle.
