~ Ho8otuSion.
Tully Scott of Cripple Greek, in
whose mine gold has been struck in a
vein of ~unexampled richness-$25 to
the pound, or $4,000 to the ton-said
at a congratulatory dinner:
This stroke of luck has come to mo

TRANQUILITY.
Il used to know a miner whom a
lucky strike made a drunkard of. He
remained a drunkard all his life. Moth
ing could wean him from the whisky.
"A chum of his once read him, by
way Of warning, a spontaneous COM
bustion story-a story of a man so sat
urated with liquor that once when he
went to blow out a candle his breath
took fire from the fame and he burned
to death.
THE well meaning chum at the end
of his tale looked at the %reprobate
young miner and said solemnly:
There, Horace, let that be a warn
ing to you
1T WILL Horace answered in All
awe voice. BY heaven. I'll never
blow out n candle again the longest
day 1 live"

She Couldn't Very We'll.

She Couldn't Very Well.
An attache of one of the foreign lega-
tons in Washington had become very
much attached to one Of the sweetest
and most beautiful girls in the capital
society. He felt quite sure that his
ardor was not altogether without re-
Spouse on the girls part. Their meet
ings had become oftener and their ap-
,~pearances in public together were fire.
'Quent. and the young fellow felt that
a certain ball to be given OF a particu-
lar evening to which they were both
invited would mean a great deal to
him. So he personally selected q box
of the most beautiful flowers he could
get, and writing a note addressed to
the girl, gave it to his valet, carefully
~instructing him to deliver it with the
box in about two or three hours.
The man finally reported that the
box and note had been delivered, but
to the attaches surprise when he ar
rived at the ball and went straight up
to the girl, he noticed that she vas not
alone and was carrying some other
flowers. She barely nodded to him as
he approached, and during the entire
evening distinctly Stunned him. The
evening was q miserable one, and he
went home sick at heart There he
found his box of flowers standing on
the table. Mystiied, he summoned his
valet, only to be assured that he had
personally delivered the note and box
But not that one, sir" he added
"You pointed out quite another box

what was in the box you took?
asked the young man, absolutely mysh
fed.
II cannot tell, sir. and naturally
did not open it" replied the valety
He was sent in haste to the gir1is ad
dress, and the box was brought bach
to the young man, who opened it only
to find that his valet had carried to the
girl a new lot of underwear which he
had bought that day for himself ant
had sent home.

A Commanding Character.

The high esteem in which Father Slocum of Waterbury was held by all classes of people throughout the state of Connecticut was impressive ly shown not only by the high trib- utes paid his memory in the newspa- pers but by the representative crowd which attended his funeral. Not in years has a mans death called forth such genuine sorrow. Father Slocum was a man of infinite charm from both his spiritual side and his social side. He was a man essentially hu- man in all of his associations, and it was due to that fact that he made friends wherever he went. quite re- gardless of religious differences of opinion. Had it been his choice in life to enter the service of his state or nation his would have been commanding character. As it was he became a ministering angel in all that term implies and he leaves be- hind memory that will not soon fade.-Trumbull in New York Her aid.

 There was only very short ses- sion of the city court to-day. The case against John Altman for break. ing into William J. Burns's saloon Saturday night was put over. Burns is a fancier of game birds and he laid particular value, about $50 or so, on fine rooster. After supper Sat urday night he went to his coop tc see that his flock was all right for the night and he missed his game rooster. The door of the coop was broken open. but he soon had 1t re- paired and then he began sentry duty. Very soon he saw man come along and, it is said, pay his respects to the coop. Burns bounced out on him and handed him over to Officer Hickey. The man was the accused. In court to-day the case was put over few days at the request of Att torney Rogers.
 Guiseppi Sposta, charged with in- toxication, breach of the peace and resistance, settled for SIP.
 case against the same man for being on the saloon premises of Pas quale Ciminera, Bank street. and also against the latter for keeping open his saloon, went over to Saturday at the request of Attorney McEyoy.
 The following liquor cases were settled thus: Charles Messer $50 and Frank Shuski $30. The latter has been arrested three times within l. e.. l.. fense. A liquor case against James Cozza was nolled, and for breach of the peace Frank Romano paid $7.

 George Carr of South Leonard street, an employe of Joseph Grigus was kicked by horse on Washing ton avenue Saturday afternoon. He was driving the horse down the street when one of the traces broke. Carr had number of children in the wagon with him and would have jumped only he feared they would be hurt. He held on to the reins and the horse kicked so much that one of his feet landed on Carr's shin, inf1icting painful wound.
 Every voter in this section should make 1t point to attend the ralI' which will be held by the democrats at 8 o'clock this evening on Bank street in front of the Duggan school. The speakers will give the audience some facts and figures which the voters will do we'll in considering before they cast their ballots to- morrow. Mayor Thoms and all the local candidates of the. democratic ticket will be on hand to make re- marks and the Brooklyn people should turn out strongly and give them a cheer.
 The democratic party held an enthusiastic rally in Lithuanian hall on Bank street last evening, the place being crowded to the doors. It was a very enthusiastic gathering and during the evening the speakers were roundly cheered. Short ad- dresses were made by Mayor Thoms, Attorney Frank Guilfoile, chairman of the democratic town committee, Robert A. Lowe. judge of probate and Attorney Thomas F.

There is no questions the Lithuanians are going to vote the democratic ticket tomorrow and the republican party will lose many votes in this section that it has heretofore had.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club football team showed much its i'm proyement in their game with the All-New Havens at the Driving park yesterday afternoon. Although they were not nearly as strong as when they will meet the All-Waterburys nevertheless they played fast game their principal fault being fumbling, By the way it's nearly time for Man ager Dunphy of the Brooklyn and Manager Lawlor of the All-Water- burys to get together and arrange one game or series of games. There is no doubt but what the pub lie Is anxiously awaiting such game and 1t would be the biggest drawing card of the year.
