I have no doubt they will soon be seen

be short, however, for the authorities
and the temperance people will surely
be after them. -Four OF the kind Of
bonbons that We're sent to us would
make a pretty stiff drink Of absinth,

Actress, Arm a. a relic.

'"This is the arm Of Nine. Alicoyne,

It Is nailed to the wall within reach Of
any one and occupies the place Of hon

headed kitten and a double bodied dog.
The name, Nine. AlicoYne," is not
found in the records of the terrible

Auction Sale Shows Finances.

The au :tion sales which have been
held throughout the county this fall
are Il pretty good baronetrr of the
financial condition of the farmers.
Some years ago, a matter of eight or
ten years, an auction sale meant a
goodly amount OF business for the
banks 10 taking the paper that
was offered at the sale foy purchases.
The bankers find the CON litions
changed to some extent these days
and it is often the case that enough
paper is not given really TO pay for
putting in the day. This was illus
trated the other day at the sale of

and stock, which was conducted by

PUT BLAME on OFFICERS
Responsibility for Milwaukee Wreck
at Ipswich Placed on Super
intendent and Dispatcher.

For several days a coroner's jury
at Iuswirh has been Investigating
the accident on the Milwaukee road
which happened at that place on
Tuesday of last week, when a fireman
was killed. several employees hurt aud
a nun Der of cattle were killed, be-
sides demnlishing two engines and
destroying a number of freight cars.
The jury placed the responsibility
for the accident on the superinten-
dent and train dispatcher in maxi
lug the following report yesterday:
That Arthur Mayo came to his
death in a railroad accident caused
bv a collision on the James River
divisions; that said wreck was caused
by the negligence OF the supeTinten-
dent or the chief train dispatcher to
provide proper assistance to Engineer
Davidson, to do switching and load
ing OF stock requested to be done by
him and; further by the failure of
the chief train dispatcher to give
reasonable and proper notice or any
notice at all. to the fast stock extra
while lie was loading stock. or any
notice at all to Conductor Manning
aud Engineers johnson and Springer,
the men in charge of the fast stock
extra, to slow up or look out; that
the chief train dispatcher wired
Engineer Davidson at / 80 O'Clock D.
M, on the day OF the accident, to go
to Ipswich and doublehead thinner.
M TO Aberdeen: that in pursuance
of that order, he was loading stock
and using the main track, and was
justified in believing that the Zim-
norman train was approaching under
instructions To stop at Ipswich that
the fast extra which caused the
wreck vas allowed by the careless
ness or the negligence of the chief
train dispatcher to run ahead of the
Zimmerman train without notice
and without warning to Engineer
Johnson, Davidson or Springer, or
{ onductor Manning.

City Noises.

We hope 1t is true, as reported, that
the antinoise movement is making
Roadway in other cities. It certainly Is
not doing that In Chicago. In this
town the notion always has obtained
that noise is indispensable to activity
and that the noisiest man must neces-
sardly be the most active one. It is
going to take a long time to eradicate
this fallacy. In the meantime the In
terior Of the loop Is about as restful a
place as a great battlefield. It II a per-
feet hell of noises. most Of them ALSO

Brains.

All over the civilized world there il
q strong demand for brains that are a
little above the average in quantity
for purposes Of dissection. Scientists
have for the most part nothing better
to dissect than the brains Of paupers
and lunatics. These, however, leave
much to be desired. and It 10 to the in
terest of the human family that the
brains Of cultured and learned people
should be placed at their disposal. A.
certain number Of such brains are
forthcoming. In the great majority OF
cases they are bequeathed by their re-
spective owners.-New York Tribune.

OCEAN ~AVALANCAES
Some Of the Great Enxulnnx Waves
Of the Glutton Sea.

vi IN 0&UNNOn ScA.
There is one consolation about the
two great earthquakes which destroyed
respectively the two great cities of
San Francioco and Valparaiso, and
that is that they raised no seismic
waves to speak OF.
This was because the earth tremors
were wholly on land and did not ex-
tend beneath the bed Of the ocean. 1t
Is when this latter %eventuality happens
that these terrible waves are created,
causing widespread havoc.
For instance, 1t was this kind of
ocean avalanche that engulfed Lisbon,
with $4,000 of Its Inhabitants, in 1866,
and in 1888 a submarine earthquake
started in the straits of Sunda a so
called tidal" (seismic) wave that trav-
eled twice around the globe and drown
ed $4,000 people.
In 1891 again a submarine earth
quake threw up a wall Of water seven
y feet high and more than 300 miles
In length. which overwhelmed the
greater portion of the Nippon islands.
On this occasion $4,000 houses were
swept away and 10000 people lost
their lives.
Worse still was a huge wave which
in 1868 wiped out of existence in a few
minutes the cities Of Arequipa, Iqui-
que, Tacua and Chencha, drowning 25,-
600 persons and destroying property
worth seo.OoO,Oo0. The waters Of the
Pacific first retreated nearly half a
mile, then rushed forward with irresist-
lble force, SO that great ships were
carried far inland and there left high
and dry for future generations to won
der at.
At Port Royal, Jamaica, again, many
houses were engulfed forty fathoms
deep, with above 5000 of their IN
habltants, while about the same time
an earthquake made wave so complete
ly demolished Catania, in Sicily, that
Of the town and its 1900 Inhabitants
not a trace remained. = P~earson's

O%pvlmi.ttc JAAl.. ~i.Amptea, as Mark
Twain Knevv llSHA,

0psi@i.ttc Jaal.. i.ampte.. as Mark
Twain Knsvv Mn.
IN the opening chapter Of hiE Auto
biography" printed In the first fort
nightly number of the North American
Review, Mark Twain tells thus Of the
original Colonel Sellers:
Many persons regarded Colonel Sci
lers ia IL fiction. IN invention, an ex-
t%ravngant lmposslbility, ana did me
the honor to call him n Creation" but
they We're mistaken. l merely put him
on paper as he was. He was not q per
son who could be exaggerated. The In
cidents which looked most extrava-
CANT, both In the book and on the
stage, were not inventions OF mine, but
were facts Of his life, and l was pres
ent when they were developed.
John L. Raymond's audiences used
to come near to dying with laughter
over the turnip eating scene; but, e1-
t%ravagant as the scene was, 1t was
faithful to the facts In all its absurd
details. The thing happened In Lamp
toms w house, and l was present. In
fact, 1 was myself the guest who ate
the turnips. In the hands Of a great
actor that piteous scene would have
dimmed any manly spectators eyes
with tears and racked his ribs apart
with laughter at the same time. But
Raymond was great In humorous Dor
travail only. In that he was superb, he
was wonderful-in a word, great. In
all things else he was a pygmy of the
pygmies.
The real Colonel Sellers as 1 knew
him in James hampton was a pathetic
and beautiful spirit, a manly man, a
straight and honorable man, a man
with a big, foolish, unselflsh heart in
his bosom, a man born to be loved, and
he was loved by all his friends and by
his family worshiped. 1t is the right
word. TO them he was but little less
than a god. The real Colonel Sellers
was never on the stage. Only half Of
him was there. Raymond could not
play the other half Of him. It was
above his level. There was only one
men who could have played the whole
Of Colonel Sellers, and that was Frank
Mayo.
James hampton f1oated all his days
In a tinted mist of magnificent dreams
and died at last without seeing one Of
them realized. l saw him last in 1884,
when it had been twenty-six years
since / ate the basin Of raw turnips
and washed them down with a bucket
Of water in his house. He was become
old and white headed, but he entered
to me In the same old breezy way Of
his earlier life, and he was all there
yet-not a detail wanting. The happy
light in his eye, the Astounding hope in
his heart, the persuasive tongue, the
miracle breeding imagination-they
were all there, and before I could turn
around he was polishing up his Alad-
din's lamp and flashing the secret
riches of the world before me.
