TIN every country boarding house,
 sooner or later, a communistic inter-
 est in things manifests itself. Pleas
 ures are enjoyed mutually and plans
 for an outing or an entertainment are made to include all the boarders instead of a few individuals. All of which is, no doubt, admirable from a democratic standpoint. but apt to prove unfortun- ately meddlesOme to some who are forced to follow the crowd when they have bacon of their own to fry. And so 1t proved in the case of MT. Homer Just wed that first Saturday evening at Mrs. Suburbanite's, a large country boarding house, just outside the city limits, whither the Justweds had hied them selves for the heated term.
 It was a damp, dreary spring drizzle that spoiled all out-of-door plans for the even ing-such as moonlight strolls or a drive and of itself suggested an evening in- doors with cards. Now, there happened to be among the boarders certain Mrs. Fixit of meddlesome executive proclivi- ties. who recognized the ideal conditions for an evening at cards and promptly proceeded to appoint herself a committee of one to arrange tiye-Hundred party.
 With commendable zeal, though ques- tionable discretion, she scurried around among the boarders informing them that she was getting up" the affair. Inci- dentally. be it cited, she requested the modest contribution of ten cents from each player to defray the expenses of refreshments and prizes. With emphasis. also be 1t remarked, she accepted no ex- cuses-contending that the interests of the individual should be submerged in the wish of the whole. And finally, be 1t stated. she consulted only the women folks. concluding from her own marital experience that all the men were model, twentieth century, obey -thy-wife hus- bands.

 'Oh hang your mother, confound It'' growled MT. J. "No-no-I don't mean that! Wait a minute. Blossom. wait a minute"

 When dry remove the weights and 1t will be almost impossible 10 tell there is a seam. IL Is best to then apply coat of varnish, and after this has dried wax it with prepared floor wax, polishing well with a flannel cloth. The floor will not scratch as easily as before and will not require hopping each day.

storage project The dam has saved the crops of the Salt river valley this year, but it can never be put to its real test until the reservoir has been once filled with water. This year the floods had nearly passed before the dam was high enough to retain any considerable amount of water. Though it reached approximately half it's depth not sixth of It's capacitky was utilized for it is the top half that holds the most water. There was plenty of wa ter to fill it had the dam been high enough to hold it, and it is confident

FIANCEE
Held As Prisoner In Her
Mothers Home

Springfield, o., Nov. 26-Miss Della
Hawk, pretty nineteen-yeear-old girl
and prospective bride, is being held
a captive by her mother at the home
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hawk, 729 North Belmont avenue,
according to a complaint filed with
the police today by ]. A. Miller, %
years old, the man of her choice.
Miller had been boarder at the
Hawk home for some time, and is en-
ployed at the Lagonda shops. After
working hours he made love to Dor
othy and they decided to get married
on Thanksgiving Day. They were
not to let her parents know anything
of it until after the ceremony had
been performed. Mrs. Hawk, however,
became suspicious and read the mar
riage licenses.
Arming herself with a sword she
drove Miller from the house, he told
the police, and then locked her daugh-
ter in. Miller tried to swear out an
attachment for his bride-to-be, but
could not secure such a document. He
is determined, however, to secure the
girl.

$50 columns supporting the station
building and the greatest weight on
any Of these ls 1858 tons.
The booklet further says that the
proposed initial daily service going
through the station will consist of 600
Long Island railroad trains and 400
Pennsylvania trains, making the total
Of 1000 trains per day.
The station building extends three
stories under ground. All Of the
trains come in through tunnels, be-
meath the level OF the street. All
haulage is done by electric locomo-
tives, using the third rail system.
Consequently, all Of the dirt and
CRIME Of the ordinary railroad station
is done away with.
In building the exterior walls Of
the station 1t has required 100000
cubic feet Of pink granite and inside
the concourse $4,000 cubic feet were
used, making total of $4,000 cub
ic feet. All OF this was quarried in
Milford, Mass, and shipped to New
York, requiring 1,140 freight cars for
its transportation.
The structure is the largest and
most magnificent of it's kind in the
world, and has required less than six
years to complete it. 1t will be thrown
open to the public on Nov. 27, when
the winter schedule will go into effect
on the Pennsylvania system for the
season of 1901.

SHARP
Brought Out As A Candidate
For Senator

Columbus, o., Nov. 26-The name of
Congressman William G. Sharp, of
Elyria, was formally brought out today
by Charles H. Huston, former Prose
Cluting Attorney of Richland County,
and Rupert Hastings, of Mansfield for
United States senator. Mr.. Sharp
was reelected this month in the Four
teenth district, which until 1908 was
considered as adamantine in its Repub-
licanism. Not only did he carry it
again, but he doubled his majority.
The visitors stated that the congress-
man was sure to receive some votes
on the first ballot from his district,
and should be set down as dark
horse. He is, they say, a safe, sane
and conservative legislator, and, be-
ing large manufacturer would lend
needed strength to the Senate in a
practical way.

Goes To fertiI'zing Works
At PittSburg

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. ga receipt
from a fertilizing works for SO, hand
ed to Humane Agent L. w. Ahn marks
the passing of the beautiful horse up
on which Jacob S. Coxey led his non
descript army of tramps to Washing
ton in 1898. "Coxey" was a beautiful
horse in the days when General Jacob
s. Coxey was the idol of the homeless,
breadless and hopless. He pranced
proudly at the head of Coxey's army
when it invaded Pittsburg and was
admired by thousands.
During recent years "Coxey" had
dragged an ash wagon to the dump
to earn his oats. This summer he
was 26 years old, and his vigorous,
plump and satiny form had become
shunken, bony and unkempt His
prancing steps gave way to faltering
and stumbling plodding.
A few days ago Humane Agent Aim
saw Samuel A. Shelton, negro Civil
War veteran, who is 70 years old,
driving the shambling equipage to-
wards a dump. He notified Shelton to
send "Coxey" to Second-avenue fertil-
izing works.
Today Ahn handed over the receipt
for the horse to prove that he had
kept faith with the Humane Agent.
Since passing from the ownership of
General Coxey the horse has beeen
owned by almost dozen Pittsburg-
ers, and his identity cannot be doubt

SKELETON
Is Found In A Wooden Box
In Mansfield
mansfield Shield)

P. Binau, of No. LOG Hedges street,
notified the police department Thurs
day evening that the skeleton of a
human body had been found inside a
box which was left in the rear of his
lot Thursday morning about 8 a. m.
by an expressman.
The police scented trunk mystery
and started to work on the case. Of
ficer Harbaugh made an investigation
and found that the headless skeleton
was an old one. Coroner Maglott
was also notified. He called at the
city prison Friday morning and talk
ed with Chief Feeeny.
The police learned that George Nc
Eowen, a drayman, who resides on
Burns street, took the box contain
ing the skeleton to the Binau proper
ty. 1t seems that the skeleton was
one that had been found in house
which was moved from the site of the
proposed postoffice some time ago.
Mr.. Binau noticed the box and start
ed to cut 1t up for kindling when he
discovered the skeleton. 1t is likely
that the grewsome thing will now be
buried. 1t was one that had evidently
been used for dissection purposes
some time past.
