FROM SHIELDS

Greensburg, Pa.-The report of

following an audit of the accounts Of
Sheriff John E. Shields, in reference
to furnishing deputies to guard the
properties of the coal companies, at

companies is $189,O3SSS. There was
paid to deputies $1O6,O24 and $27,967
for reyolvers and other paraphernalia,
making a total expense of $133, 391.
This amount for expenses leaves a
balance due the county of 55,642.88.
/ OF this latter balance the sheriff
claims the coal companies owe 3d.
l0O1.SS. According to these figures the
sheriff is in possession of $42,641,
which, it is claimed, belongs to the
county.
1t has not been definitely decided
when a formal demand will be made

A municipal newspaper, similar to
the one in Milwaukee, Wis, to be
owned and published by the city, is
one Of the proposals adopted by the
Los Angeles City Charter Commission
as an amendment to be submitted to
a vote of the people. That the pro-
posal is a popular one and will in all
probability carry at the ballot box, is
frankly acknowledged by politicians,
although many OF them are bitterly
opposed to the plan.

question to go 10 popular vote, points
out that greater par OF the running

tically be met by saving the immense
sum of money that the city now pays

World Champion Billiard Player, Who
Retired, Holds Unparalleled Record.
Willie Hoppe, the most marvellous
bllliardist of generations, champion at
the 1871 and 1872 balk line game, has
announced his retirement from profes
sional billiards. He will become a
partner of his father-in-law, Thomas
w. Walsh, a wealthy clothier OF New
York.
In doing so Hoppe sacrifices a salary
Of $1,000 year he has been receiving
from the manufacturers of billiard
tables and an income from billiard
matches Of about $4,000 year. He
has been receiving $500 for every ex-
hibition in addition to the gate re-
ceipts, big percentage of which went
to him. His custom was to bet $500
in every match, and he has been a
consistent winner
Willie Hoppe has been playing bill
liards since he was twelve years old.
At that time his father, Frank Hoppe,
took him and his younger brother,
Frank Hoppe, Jr., around the country

giving exhibitions. 1t was necessary
for the boys to stand on soap boxes in
order to see over the top of tables and
make shots. Willie became known as
the hoy wonder"
When still in his teens he went to
Paris and defeated Maurice Vignaux,
recognized at that time as the "old
master" of billiards. By this feat he
attracted international attention. On
his return to New York he was chal-
lenged by George Slosson, known as
''the Student" He defeated Slosson
decisively in a match game in New
York
From that time Willie Hoppe has
been known as the greatest billiard
player in the world. He has defeated
such experts as Harry Kline of Phila-
delphia, George Sutton and Calvin
Demarest of Chicago, Albert G. Cutler
of Boston and Ora Morningstar Of
New York.

match, and she has the support of
those members of the royal family
who objected to the Elkins alliance.
Xenia is known as the princess who
Tilted a king, and Alexander Of Ser
via, who, with his queen, Draga, was
later murdered in his palace at Bel
grade, was the victim.
A prophecy caused this. Some years
ago the royal attention was direct
ed to an aged soothsayer who wan
dered about the mountains, but whose
reputation as a forecaster was known
throughout the nation. From klm the
princess heard this prediction:
81 see two royal crowns. One is fa-
tai and blood stained, the other leads
to happiness. Refuse the first crown
offered you, no matter what it may be,
because that crown will fall with
blood. The second crown will lead to
happiness and power"
So the Princess Xenia, now thirty
years of age and beautiful, has refused
many matches that were not royal be-
cause she is awaiting the crown of
happiness promised her.

When Tea Was Dear,

Those who grumble at the price of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records of its price in early times. At
its first Introduction into England,
about the middle of the seventeenth
century tea fetched anything between
f6 and E10 Il pound, and though a fall
in price quickly took place the Fast
India company still had to pay over
"a for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However, even
thus it is doubtful if the tea merchants
got very fat, seeing that the importa-
ton of some 1000 pounds in 1878 was
enough to glut the market for some
years. london Chronicle

CURIOUS EFFECT OF HENBANE

DR.. Philippi, a German physician, de

establishment at Davos ate horseradish
n which a quantity of henbane root
had been accidentally mixed. All the
persons who had eaten the mixture
were poisoned, the women being the
greater sufferers.
A Russian lady who spoke German
auently forgot that language complete
ly; an Engiishwoman wanted to teach
everybody her native tongue; one wo-
man thought herself living statue
and would not move from one position;
another insisted on crawling about the
floor in search of valuable object
she believed she had lost; several wo
men could not stop laughing; serv
ant placed twenty-five hot water bot
tes in her own bed instead of in those
Of the visitors.
When the physician was called in
haste one of the women guests greet
ed him as an old friend and would not
leave him. A man busted himself in
counting imaginary banknotes which
he snatched from out of the air, while
another man set out to find a chemist,
lost his memory and proceeded to buy
q lot of useless articles from various
shops. The proprietor of the estab-
hshment carried a tureen Of soup to
his bedroom and emptied the liquid on
the pillows.
Antidotes were speedily administer
