Has Advertising Device.

A Chicago inventor appeared at the
meeting Of the Hammond Business
Mems association at the superior court
room last evening and attempted to in
terest the members in patent device
for advertising and displaying goods
in store windows.
He claimed that his invention made
possible an economy of space IN the
display of goods. He was surprised to
discover that the Hammond Business
Mems association IS not in reality what
its name implies. but Is in reality a
commercial club.
He was accordingly requested TO
bring his proposition before the In
ventors' and Investors council. where
its merits could be determined.

Home of Juliet Burns

There is lamentation in Verona, and
along the Via Capello the ancient
fronts of the houses re-echo the dolor-
Gus accents of the Veronese, for the
palace of the Capulets" has been con-
sumed from rooftree to ceIlarage by
fire. and the occupation ofath guides
who conducted people thither and the
cicerone who solemnly showed them
Juliets balcony is irrevocably gone
along with the building of romantic
and reverend tradition
What difference did the inscription on
the marble tablet over the gateway
make? What though the unimpassfoned
Baedecker refused to give credence to
the legend of it's former occupancy?
The Veronese devoutly believed it was
the house of the Capuletti, and the
iconoclasms of modern professors of
history and archaeologists had no pow
er to shake the faith of thousands of
pilgrims on their sentimental journeys
to the spot where Romeo is supposed to
have stood and poured forth his soul
to his beloved.
1t did them good to believe that from
that balcony Juliet actually leaned to
hear the impassioned plant of the in
comparable lover. The scientific his
torians of these days are trying to take
kelreid; they deny the story of viii
liam Tell and the apple. OF George
Washington and the cherry tree, of
Israel Putnam and the wolf den. A
Harvard professor says there is nothing
to prove that Washington took COM
mand of his army under the so called
Washington elm.
But the men and women of Verona
are not minded to let Romeo and Juliet
go the way of Romulus and Remus
among the "old, unhappy far off
things into the realm of myth and
mystery. To them the immortal pair
once lived and truly loved, and the
flesh and blood of Capulet inhabited the
smoidering ruin, a step or two aside
! frem the Piazza della Erbe. And so
because the home of Juliet" is burned
the Neronese and the pilgrims to the
palace are inconsolable.-Phi delnhia

PONY EXPRESs-N. c. T.. c., City. Please
give an account Of the pony express" that |
have heard about since ] came 10 this city.
The pony express was the name given
to a mail service established between
San Francisco and ST. Joseph, Mo, in
1860 At that time there were three
transcontinental mail lines. but the
bulk of the mail matter went via Pan
anna and occupied between % and 80
days in the transit. The demand for
a more rapid mail service led to the
establishment of the express named,
the mail being carried rapidly on
horseback overland under the direc-
tion of the Central Overland, California
and Pixies Peak express company. The
first pony left St Joseph and San
Francisco at the same hour April 5,
1860. The time schedule was eight
days. The price for carrying letters
was at first So an ounce, but was af-
terward reduced to $3.50. The express
went out of existence in October, 1861,
upon the completion of the line of the
