MULV|LLE'S BANQUET
Tables Set in Show Room and Jehn
 Donegln Was Caterer.

If stranger had dropped into Mulville's undertaking rooms on Thursday night. he would certainly open his eyes in astonishment and pinch himself to discover whether he was asleep. He would have seen the liveliest bunch of dead ones that per- haps could be gotten together in the city at the supper of "The School, :" or in other words the banquet of the fellows who congregate round "Dea- con Mulville's establishment. The supper table was set in the show room. and the catering was in charge of John Donegan, who certainly seemed to know what those who were to be present relished, for the man. ner in which they devoured the ap- petizing spread was enough to make any one sit up and rub his eyes to see whether he was gazing at mor- tals or what.
 During the evening many interest ing stories were told and several vo- cal and instrumental selections were rendered. Those present were: Will liam Byron, John Mccarthy, James Duggan, Michael Delaney, Todd Mel- lon, Joseph St Louis, Charles De- fancy, Thomas O'Donnell, Matthew Watts, Daniel Altman, Michael Grea- ney, John Donegan, John McEvoy, Bernard Burke. William Ryan, Mi- chael O'Hearn, M. F. Timothy and William McKennerney, Edward Call lahan, James Morris, John C.

CITY CREsIAToRY.
Finishing Touches Being Put on the
 Stack at WatervilIe.

Stack at Waterville.
 The finishing touches are being ap- piled to the long awaited stack for
 the crematory at Waterville, and Col
 lector Hubert Rigney will undoubt- edly be able next week to begin to
 burn the offal once more.
 The garbage situation in this city
 has been hanging fire for more than year, and 1t Is to be hoped that 1t Is settled for some time to come. The stack which is about completed should have been up some time ago, but there was some delay, due to Contractor Keeley, so say the mem-
 bers of the board of health, while Mir Keeley says he had 1t up at the time agreed to.
 The crematc.y .has not been in operation since the present contrac- tor took hold Tho ex-cUllector, P. H. Carroll, dectared that the plant had seen its best days. and the last few months of his term he buried the garbage. This led to a holler from  the Waterville residents, who made strong fight to have the plant re- moved to some other section of the city; but their efforts were of no avail and the odor factory, as they termed it, still is in the vile. g1hai garbage has been buried while the crematory was being repaired aud MT Rigney's land is about full of garbage. Between protests from residents of Waterville because of the plant. trouble with P. H. Carro l in regard to the crematory and the amount of money the board of health owed the contractor, and Mr Rigney's refusal to c,l'ect dead animals with out receiving extra compensation from the city, the board c; health has had enough of the garbage question and the members hope that once the plant is in operation again nothing will be heard of garbage and the crematory until their term of office expires.

THE POLICE COURT.
Many Complaints Being Made Fly
 Owners of Fruit Trees.

So numerous have been the com plaints made to Prosecutor Meigs about the thefts of fruit that he de- termined to make an example of the first individual that would fall into the hands of the police. The com piainants were mostly people who had a few apple or pear trees on their property and which seemed to be the special object of large num- bers of women and men who go- out early in the morning and leave the trees bare after them.
 Thursday afternoon Robert O'Rourke invited Thomas Thaler to take . walk into the country and pick a fev apples along the road. That morning Thaler had been fined S21 and costs on three complaints. and he thought a stroll in the coun- try would do him good. So off they started. and on Idylwood avenue. off East Main street. they turned into Frank Travers's orchard. They had a sy9ali bag with them and they were fHing this when Travers came on them They ran and after a long chase they stopped 0'Rourke knew Trsvers we'll. but not to speak to him. and he thought it vas all right for him to pick fev apples from on the ground Dat Travers thought differ entiy- However.

1t was when | commanded an army
post out on the border. Cornfields
wave there now.
We had been confined to the stock
ade for so long that we felt a desire to
romp across the prairie like young
colts let loose from the four walls of a
gloomy stall. There were women, a
child, Lieut.. Elmore, myself and Den

came along to do our driving.

against them, s 10 I felt fairly safe in

1t was a beautiful day with a moist,
soft breeze blowing from the south. 1t
was a merry party and we drove on
and on over the springy buffalo grass
until the fort looked like a tiny toy
affair across the level prairie. About
eleven o'clock we halted for luncheo on
beneath the shade OF a clump OF cot
tonwoods. Private Hogan hobbled the
horses, leaving the harness on, while

The meal, which WAS a long one,
was dra wing to a close. Suddenly we
heard a scrambling above our heads,

the lower branches from which he
dropped in a heap On the ground. Like

Thousands OF men, women and chill

Portugal are employed In cutting cork.
1t is a domestic trade, and 1t occupies
whole villages Agents from the fac
tories and export houses Of Seville and
Lisbon go through the mountain vii
lagos each year buying up the corks in
enormous quantities. 1t is not unusual
for an agent to purchase 100000 on
one journey. The corks as purchased
in the native villages are of all sizes
and qualities. They are sorted In the
cities and, after being packed. are
shipped by the ton. Once here many
of them are recut by hand at the rate

Priceless, Yet Costless-Pure Air.
There is no menace to vitality and to
the sum and the value Of the products
Of vital energy so continuously immi-
nent, SO insidious, SO effectively active
as are the invisible wastes of the body.
The dead by the weapons Of the worlds
battlefelds are few compared with
those whose lives have been either
bliGhted or prematurely ended because
Of failure to maintain the body in a
correct relation to the atmospheric
source Of abundant energy waiting to
be transformed into vital force and
who have died for want of proper
breath. He who would live at his best
must breathe air at its purest. There
is no material necessity to life greater
than that of pure air. There Is nothing
so priceless and yet so costless as air.
There is no financial investment which
does or can yield so sure and SO large
returns as money wisely expended for
pure air.-Professor S. III. Woodbridge

Injurious to the Memory.

Besides inattentive reading there are
other thin % Injurious to memory. One
is the habit Of skimming over newspa-
pers. all in confused tumble, never to
be thought of again. thus diligently
cultivating habit of careless reading
hard to break, says Home Chat. An
other is the reading Of trashy novels.
Nothing is so fatal to reading with
profit as the habit OF running through
story after story and forgetting them
az soon N read.
