will be hot time in the old town to-
night" were the only sounds that dis
turbed Jay this morning The refrains
eminated from the windows of the
court house and nearby buildings oc-
cupied by the mob. Confident that they
are secure from an attack since Gov
ernor Cruise has refused to call out the
militia, members of the mob are en-
joying themselves with songs, cards
and checkers. Close at hand they
have stacked their rifles, ready in an
instant to resist any attempt TO remove
the records, Perfect order prevails
and there is no fear of an outbreak I'M
less an effort is made to take the re-
cords. Sheriff Thomson, who is here
realizes the hopelessness of the situa-
ton under the circumstances and says
that he does not intend to take any &C
ton until his forces are increased or
the state sends militia. The sheriff's
appeal for assistance has met with lit
tie response. District Judge Pitch
ford today confirmed the announce
ment that he had asked the governor
for militia.

He demonstrated the point by exhib-
iting simultaneously white figures on a
black ground and black figures on a
white ground. Although all the figures

greater dimensions.

De Wint's Glover Ruse That Sold Ono
Of His Paintings.

OF his Fainttn9S.
Peter De Whit. the English land
scape painter, was accustomed each
year to have semi-private show Of
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which. of course. ap
peared at the public exhibition marked
Sold
Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron Of art and at the same time
keep his money. He managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always a bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most. and having seen them. as he was
wont to declare. he could never content
himself with less beautiful works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity. and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him.
After plenty of time had been allowed
for De Wint's friends TO make their
purchases the rich man arrived. AS
usual. his eye soon fell on two per
feet gems marked Sold" Turning to
the artist, he said: Now, De Whit,
those are exactly the things l should
like to possess What a pity they are
not to be had"
My dear SIR" said the painter. slap
ping him on the back. Il knew you
would like them. so l put the tickets
on to keep them for you
The awkwardness of the situation
was only relieved when the enthusias-
tic admirer became the somewhat un-
willing purchaser of the two gems.

 Those who go to the park at this season need to be particularly careful the way they throw matches around, as fires start easily in the present dry condition of the weeds and evan do an incalculable amount of damage be- fore they are put out

The finest grade of stove coal the market affords is obtainable by the natives at Watch Hill now at the ridiculously low expenditure of team hire and the effort of shoyeling. Since the steam canaler John B, Dallas went ashore there last Saturday night, high winds and seas have driven the hull of the steamer up on the beach so far that a sandbar formed sos that on Thursday it was possible to drive teams along the sandbar to the deck of the Dalls.' These teams have been backed up in turns and loaded by shovelers who work without getting wet. The Dallas has been driven so high on the beach that wreckers can not get alongside with tugs and light
