REFUSED KINGSHIP

Efforts to get Geo. Wash
ington to declare himself
king of the United States,
several times made during
the early days of the new
country, were strongest in
May, 1882, when Col. Nicola
of Pennsylvania headed a
royalist movement in his ia
vor, and began a campaign to
that effect. Washington,
after considering the prof.
ect, frowned on it, and re-
buked Col. Nicola.

OLD POINT COMFORT. Va,
Feb. 22--Little Old Point Comfort
went hilariously mad with Joy as
she welcomed the return of the
Atlantic battleship fleet today.
Cannon, bells and factory whis-
ties added to the din of thousands
of human throats as the great
world girdling battleships swung
past the Mayflower to their an
chorages.
A drizzling rain could not damp
en- the ardor or enthusiasm of the
multitudes ashore or the masses
|of spectators clustered on every
conceivable craft afioat.
A dense fog clouded the sea
|early in the morning, but later
lifted and permitted those on
shore to obtain glimpses of black
columns of smoke from more than
Ia score of tunnels which marked
the approach of the greatest arm
led fleet ever gathered under an
American flag.
With the first sharp report Of
the forward starboard 7-inch rifle
of the Connecticut, a din of firing
began that lasted for more than
80 minutes. This was the formal
announcement of the fleets home
coming after its circumnavigation
of the globe-the most remarka-
BILE continuous voyage ever made
by the warships of any navy.

Was He Crazy?

Last Saturday evening as Mrs. M.
G. Rambo was at home alone en-
gagged in packing some necessary ar
ticles for trip which she was con-
templating, there was knock at the
door, which was Immediately opened
and on looking up she saw strange
man standing in the room. She asked
him what he wanted, at the same
time backed toward bedroom, and
with unusual nerve and presence of
mind, made the play of securing a
weapon, at the same time ordered the
intruder out, with the statement that
if he did not accelerate his move
ments she would turn a Calling gun
loose on him. The fellow vanished,
and when the dog barked at him on
reaching the yard, he fired several
shots and was heard of no more. No
trace of the man was afterwards found,
and the question as to what object he
could have had in making such a
break, is still perplexing Mr.. and
Mrs. Rambo as well as their friends
He must have been crazy or drunk.

evenings now, with its new electric
sign, the nicely painted archways and
artistic entrances and ticket Office, all
of which are enhanced by the colored

People naturally like the beautiful and
artistic as well as the amusing, that

ON every railroad system east OF Chi

600 men and Includes every railroad
east of the Illinois CentrhIis main

TO be the most stupehdous wage move

Reports from Bloomington last night
intimated that a similar movement
was being considered for the men on
all the western roads Committees

railroad left Bloomington last night
for Chicago and Il was said that their
purpose was to open up their wage
