A Great Finaneisr.

A man who occupied little back room in poor quarter of the east end of London was evicted for nonpayment of rent. He had nothing but vaiise and few clothes. and while they were throwing him and his belongings out of the house a bulky manuscript fell out of his pocket. Nobody noticed 1t at the time, but after he had gathered his clothes and taken his departure one of the bystanders saw the big roll of paper. picked it up and on opening 1t was surprised and amused to fnd 1t contained an elaborate scheme for refunding the national deb' Of tho British empire.

N. E. o. P. NOTES.
sheridan Lodge Entertained Other
 Local Lodges Last Night.

Sheridan lodge proved delight- ful host last evening and enter tained in a royal manner members of the local N. E. o. P. lodges. The event was suggested by communica- ton received from Grand Warden Tolies stating that he and suite would pay fraternal visit. A call had been sent to the different deputies to be present and the following re- sponded. Mrs Alice Rogers, Max KiesslIng, Ernest Green, William Dinneen, P. J. Mcdonald, l.. M. Brown. as well as the grand officers, Grand Warden F. H. Tolles, Wind sor; Grand Secretary Jerry Wall, New Haven; Grand Treasurer Fred M. Drew of Ansonia; Grand Guide T. Miles Payne, city. In addition to these visitors all were delighted to again have the pleasure of greeting Past Grand Warden Frank E. Hill Of New Haven. He has been welcome visitor to the local lodges during the past three years and as he has been recently appointed supreme deputy 1t is hoped he will often be with us.
 Although the deputies confined themselves to few minutes talk, still everyone felt the subjects were intelligently handled.
 The grand officers were unusually attentive to each individual and made every effort to keep the princi- ples of the order constantly before them.
 The gain in membership during the past year, 524, was congratulated as it placed them in the lead for the first time. as usually this honor has been held by Massachusetts.
 Sheridan's deputy made an earnest plea for them to strive to win the banners offered by Supreme Warden Peabody, as by so doing they would have emblems of the order for use during initiatory work.
 One application was received and one candidate initiated. A social session was held, and this by no means was the smaller end of the meeting

Cut Heads,

T The Liverpool Post has been makin1 observations with regard to the 'scut heads" which are treated at the hes pitals between 12 and 2 .. m. Tho Post says that the house surgeons have noticed curious difference In the sexes on different nights. On Sat- urday nights the subjects are mostly men who have received their wages, redeemed their clothes from pawn and drunk enough to lead to brawl. Mon. day night, however. is ladies night" The men have gone to work, and the wives have taken their husbands' best and only suit to the pawnshop. and then 1t Is their turn to drink the pro- ceeds and cut one another's heads. The usual answer to the question "Who did it?' is, Another lady wot lives in the same 'ouse."

STEAL 400 FLOODED HENS.
Jennings's Coop at Cold Spring liar.
 bar LOOted by Thieves.

New York, Oct 3.-Walter Jen- nings, the Standard oil stockholder, whose country estate at Cold Spring Harbor is one of the show places of Long Island, was robbed of all his fine pet chickens Wednesday morn ing. His egg factory was invaded and every hen stolen. There were between 300 and 400 hens.
 The Jennings chicken yard con- tained nothing but pure blooded stock, some of which were worth many dollars head. Very early Wednesday morning thieves visited the place in a wagon and got all the chickens without being heard. It is believed the wagon was drawn by black mare which was stolen from the stables of Edgar Conklin the same night.

rUMULT IN TIE SEA.
Terrific Fsros es . Marine uphssve| ON Cape HerM.


 A sailing ship rounding Csps AosA was caught in dead calm, somethlug almost unprecedented in that sioemy latitude. Tho sky was filmed with . light haze. and the ca was lat and leed colored. About 10 o'clock on the rnorn- ing of the second day the ship began to shake violently, the masts whipped and bent like fish poles. and every. thing movable above and below eauDe down with clatter. It was like strik- ing rock, only the shock was Ter pronounced at first, but increased in violence during the thirty seconds it lasted. The sea heaved in oily swells with a strange, hoarse murmur, and C continued to be agitated after the tremors ceased.
 Half an hour later fish by the thou- sands began to rise to the surface until 1t was covered with them. For ty-seven whales were counted, many cowfish fully eight feet across, sharks without number and seals by the hun dreds. They were evidently stunned with the force of some terrific marine upheaval, and when struck with . pole by one of the sailors showed only faint signs of life. In twenty min utes after the first fish arose to the surface they began to drop out of sight like pieces of lead. Whether they were stunned and, on recovering, immediately dived beneath the waves in a panic, seeking safety in the depths, or whether they died from the shock and, instead of floating as dead fish do, were drawn under by some submarine whirlpool, were scientific questions too deep for the skipper, but half dozen of the smaller fish hauled aboard by the cook for dinner were quite dead when examined. The calm continued twenty four hours longer be- fore the ocean resumed Its usual aspect and wind from the southeast per. mitted the ship to continue its course. New York Press.

Married Paupers and Divorce.

Marfied Faupers ana biVoTSos
 "An odd thing about married paupern is that they like to live separate" said a single pauper.
 You know how almshouses are ar. ranged. There's mems ward, wor,. ems ward and a mixed or married ward. We'll, the mixed ward is always nearly empty. Not that we lack mar ried paupers. Oh. no. But the hus- bands prefer to bachelor 1t among the men and the wives to old maid it among the women. The older our mar. ried paupers get the more vehement is their insistence on separate living.
 "'She's allus a-naggin',' the octogena- rian will growl.
 Nobody can't sleep O nights with sech snorin' as hisn,' sniffs the septua- genarian female.
 And so they separate-to all intent1 divorced."-Philadelphia Bulletin.

The Observation-Disclosures" have a spe-

principal links between the outside.
world of politics and the university.
The members frequently retain their
membership and interest in their
clubs long after leaving the university,
and as mem bers of the reichsrath,
lawyers, or doctors. or whatever else
they may become. delight in attend
ing the club meetings and find a
fruitful soil for sowing political opin-
ions And during such critical times
as tins Wahrmund affair, the clubs
play q very important part. Some of
the Austrian parliamentary leaders
especially the pan Germans Wolf and
Schoenerer, have through this medi-
UNI exercised great influence in the
universities. There is also another
asnect of the case; namely. that the
clubs make politicians QUE of the stu
