 No, I will have nothing to do with that goat, John," said Mrs. Tweezer.
 "Then I suppose the job is up to me-" chuckled Tweezer, as he arose and asked Mrs. Tweezer if she knew where he could find a base ball bat.
 Presently there was sound of revelry at the barn lot. A few Marconigrams indicated that the battle was on. One could hear above the clash and din-"bah. bah!" and a few of Tweezer's choicest cuss words. When the rubbish and timbers ceased fall ing Mrs. Tweezer ventured out to view the grounds. Tweezer was doubled up against the fence while the goat was walking the pickets.
 Mrs. Tweezer stopped down and asked John in a pathetic voice if he wanted a goat carved on his tomb?"
 Woman" said he, as she raised him to d sitting posture and wiped the blood from his face, you and the goats and the serpents should be under the same ban. You poured high life on that goat and fastened the gate so 1 couldn't get out. 1 will see tomorrow how thankful you are for this iob," groaned Tweezer, as she led him to the house to dress his wounds.

Porpolses in New York Harbor.

New York harbor was treated to a strange visitation one night recently. A school of porpoises, numbering as many as 100. and headed by a vener- able patriarch Tn gray whiskers, swam in, took leisurely survey of their sur roundings and then returned to the open, something for which the oldest inhabitant could recall no precedent, says the Boston Transcript The wis itors came in through the new Am prose deep water channel Perhaps they assumed that it had been pre- pared expressly for their accommoda. tlon.

But the skeptical public did not take alarm. On the contrary, the old watermen said it betokened fine sea weather.

A Thanksgiving Incident That Caused a

yard?" remarked Mrs. TWeeZer, as she drew aside the curtain and peeped out,
 "That is your Thanksgiving turkey, Mrs. Tweezer. I sup pose that you know that Thurs day will be Thanksgiving. It is the custom of the country to be thankful once a year, whether you are or not"
 Oh, I am always thankful, John. Is it d gcbbler?"
 Tt has a beard a foot long, Mrs. Tweezer. :"
 Did you put it in the coop. John, I can't see any turkey in the back yard," said Mrs. Tweezer, as she kept on looking out through the drawn curtain.
 No, I did not put it in the coop, Mrs. Tweezer. tried to fasten him up in the stable, but he butted the door down and made me hard to catch. He is one of these old middle-of the road kind; wise unto salvation, propigatin, populite kind and hustles for his own"
 What in the world are you talking about, John? I thought you sa;d.you had brought home turkey"
 Turkeys are too expensive to be thankful for, Mrs. Tweezer, so brought home a goat"
 Goat" hysterically yelled Mrs. Tweezer. T can't bear the smell of goat, much less the thought of eating one"
 Il know goats smell bad to some folks, but you should not let your sense of smell preju- dice you against them, Mrs. Tweezer. The goat has been an outcast ever since Old Abraham made a Scape goat out of his son. But man reaps what he sows. Old Abraham got it in the neck when Jacob got Esau's birthright, Esau was naturally hairy, while Jacob was smooth, so Jacob put on a goat skin and made the old guy think it was Esau.
 When old Abraham tried to turn his innocent but unregis- tered boy into a scape goat, he never thought Jacob, so godly and so circumsized, would bob up and be the real thing. All through,the good book the sins of the world are laid on the goats. In the great resul ection day the sheep will be separated from the goats. "
 Oh, John, the bible don't mean that It means that the good and the bad will be separ ated on that great day. The sheep are the good and the goats are the bad"
 Now, Mrs. Tweezer, what has the sheep ever done that it should be the emblem of all that's good and holy? It's cowardly, hopp- cared fool It hasn't courage . enough to try to defend Itself. It will let a cur chase and kill the whole flock, while a goat will fight to a finish. No sheep for me, Mrs. Tweezer. If you want to carve an animal on my tomb when 1 am gone, carve Old Billy, whisk- CTS and all.
 Now, Mrs. Tweezer; did you  eyer dress kid?"

CANFIELD'S FOR SALE.
Famous Saratoga Gambling Place Put
Out of Business.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-Signs
have been posted before Richard Cam
fields Saratoga club house and on his
famous italian Garden and park sur
rounding the house announcing that
the place is for sale. The news that
this had occurred was the sensa ton
of the season here. There were plenty
of rumors to account for Mr.. Can
fields action including an alleged dis
agI cement with the authorities for re-
stricting gambling.
The Saratoga club as Canfeld's
place was called has been the show of
the village for years. The club house
itself, a substantial building of brick
and stone, of three stories and sloping
roof, was built in 1869, by John Nor
rissey of New York, an ex-congress-
man, gambler and prize fighter. Can
field took charge of the place sixteen
years ago, and has been sole pro-
prietor since. He has expended vast
sums on the property, which takes in
the entire block. The grounds are the
handsomest and best kept in the VIII
lage Because of the restrictions
placed on gambling this season. Can
fields has been a rather dull place
The club restaurant has been open
throughout the summer. but the big
attraction, the great saloon in which
the highest play ever known In Amer
lea was conducted in former years
was no longer present. The gambling
implements, the roulette wheels, and

the cost of one and two-thlros blocks OF
sewer, eight inch, which cost close tic
$o,OOO Some of these assessments run
over 500 down to little above 300 per
property owner. The assessments were
illegal because half of them could not
nave connected on to the sewer as con-
structed unless they. built a private line
ana others already had connected with
a sewer in another district by pullolng
private lines.
Judge C. E. Foote. one of these prop
erty owners, addressed the council: Il
am conVerSant with enough OF THIS Slxtn
ward sewer which leads me TO thlnk
that the contractors profited beneve
the mayor and council should go 10 the
bottom of this Somebody has robbed
US, gentlemen. Somebody has ropoed US
and l would like to see him run down
and see picture of the gentleman We
stand right here to assist the council TO
ferret out the wrong, if there is wrong.
Don't sleep on your rights, gentlemen.
Don't delay. The city attorney is right.
Get this while it is all fresh, While your
witnesses have these things fresh in
their minds and before the guilty par
ties have chance to get away"
If you had two cases exactly parallel,
would you try both of them at the same
time or would you wait and see how you
came out on one of them?" asked the
mayor.
Judge Foote thought that he would
push the one suit and see it's Conclusion
before filing the second suit.
Councilman Blakely offered sugges-
ton: I'VE want an expert engineer for
this work." said he. There is no econ
omy i'll getting cheap man. Therefore
let the main matter be that man be
chosen who has a reputation and
character. There is some disposition to
plan the sewers in way that they were
not to be built in order that the con-
tractors who were doing the building
should profit. 1t seems to me to be a
scandal and a disgrace that we should
have these figures from the Sixth ward
sewer. There must nave been collision
to defraud between the city engineer
and the contractors"

LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES.
Plan to Supply Them in Mines Is
Contemplated.

New York, Aug. 28.-The terrible acct
dents which have occurred recently in
the coal mines of Germany and France,
according to advices received here, have
drawn the attention of socialists,
especially in the former country, to the
introduction of methods of protecting
the miners against the recurrence of
such calamities or at least to diminish
ing as far as possible the ensuing loss OF
life.
One measure contemplated is the
construction of safety chambers shut off
from the rest of the mine and protected
against explosion. A conduit of com
pressed air is introduced into the exca-
waited rooms and should the conduit be
destroyed, vessels or bottles filled with
oxygen stored in the chambers are in
tended to supply the necessary air until
a rescue can be effected. A logical eX-
tension OF the plan is to the equipment
of these chambers with a sufficient sup
ply of water and condensed milk to sus-
tain life for reasonable period of time
in somewhat the same manner as life
boats on vessels are equipped.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
A Murderer Falls Into the Hands of
the Police.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The old saying
that murder will OUT came true in an
unusual way last. night when Police
man Frank Walsh awakened man
Illinois hospital. Washington boule-
ward and Halstead street.
The man, long a fugitive from JUS
tice. opened his eyes, saw the police
mans star and leaped to his feet with
a shrek.
You want me for the murder; you
are the police" he cried as he stood
dazed before Walsh. A moment after
ward he collected his wits and ran but
the policeman drawing his revolver
forced the man to stop and led him to
the station.
At the station the prisoner admitted
being a murderer. but later broke
down and confessed that he is Charles
F. Burbage, wanted in Greenleaf, S. c.,
with a man named w. P. T. Rawley
for the murder of Gus Tanner, negro,
two years ago. He said he was arrest
ed after the murder which occurred
during a saloon brawl, but escaped
Rawley he said, escaped arrest at the
time. Burbage added that he had been
a fugitive for two years.
He is held at the Des PLANES street
station. and the authorities of Green
leaf have been notified of the arrest.
In Burbage's possession letters from
the governor of South Carolina were
found which purpoFted to be replies
from the gOvernOrztO queries the fug1-
tive had mailed him from Washington,
d. c., asking Ieniency if he should re-
turn and give himself up. The replies
of the governor said nothing but JUS
tice could be done. and apparently the
fugitive had decided not to return.
Columbia. S. c., Aug. 2S.-Governor
Ansel's secretary. has wired Chief
Shippy of Chicago to hold Burbage
pending investigation.
