GUINEA STILL GAINING

Cunnea's gains over Hoyne of 423
in the 18th and 1876 in the Goth wards,
bring his gain in the recount up to
5,400 in the wards so far counted;
and Judge Baldwin announces that
he would extend the count to the
entire city.
Besides the gain of 5,400 there are
1000 more votes in dispute in those
recounted, and F. D. Ayers, repre-
senting Rinaker, charged that dis
puted ballots had been laid aside by
employees of the election commits
sioners until they could be examined
by Hoyne's aid.
On Judge Baldwin's advice, Com
missioner Czarnecki asked for the
names of the employees accused, and
promised to discharge them if the
charges were sustained.

| TOMMY GOT A WIFE AS EASILY
AS HE GOT DOUGH

Tommy" Waterman. 25 years old,
called the millionaire kid" by reason
of his "get-rich-quick" methods, is in
jail in New York on charge of hav-
ing swindled the Drexel State Bank,
of this city, out of $16,S00.
But a mere charge like that doesn't
worry Tommy" The big thing in
life right now to him is the fact that
he has announced his marriage to
greatest pal in the world" Agnes
Miller, a well-known Kenwood So
ciety girl. They have been married
several weeks, but the dapper young
'Wallingford'' didn't let it out until
the couple went to New York a cou-
pie of weeks ago, "On our honey
moon," Tommy told folks.
But the honeymoon is over noN
and Tommy is in, Jail awaiting extra
dition to Chicago. Where the bride
is seems to be mystery.
Tommy's career was like to that
of a skyrocket in it's rapidity. And
like a skyrocket it finally dissolved in
to nothing.
Starting at II, he was bank mes
senger; at 81 he was bookkeeper in a
bank; at % a broker; at "a he found
ed the Chicago College of Commerce
on Prairie avenue, which venture
landed him in Jail. 1t was on the
strength of this college" that two
tellers at the Drexel bank allowed
him to overdraw.

A Peer and His Patent.

After it is once issued the patent for
the creation of new peerage cannot
be altered. Otherwise Lord Glerawly
would be written Lord Glenawley, as
Gerawly was written by a clerk in
mistake for this word. Another in
teresting case of similar nature is
that Of Charles Pawlet, afterward
third Duke of Bolton, who died in
1854. In 1717. while his father, the
second duke, was still alive, Pawlet
was made a peer as Lord Pawlet OF
Basing, although the intention of the
king and his advisers was to summon
him to the house of lords under one of
his fathers Junior titles-that of Baron
st. John of Basing. However. the
writ of summons had been made out
to Lord Pawlet Of Basing. and Pawlet
bore this title until be became Duke of
Bolton in 1722.-Westminster Gazette

Maiden Insurance.

The Maiden Insurance company is a
singular Denmark institution. It is
confined to the nobility, and the noble
man, as soon as female child is born
to him, enrolls her name on the CON-
pany's books and pays in certain
sum and thereafter a fixed annual
amount to the treasury. When the
young girl has reached the age Of
twenty-one she is entitled to fixed
income and to an elegant suit of apart
ments. and this income and this resi-
dence. both almost princely, are hers
until she either ma1ries or dies. The
society has existed for generations. 1t
has always prospered. Thanks to it,
poverty stricken old maids are un-
known among the Denmark nobility,
but every maiden lady is rich and

FIRST SLOT MACHINE.
1t Was Invented by Hero of Alexandria
About 1926 B. c,

About 1925 B. c.
Hero of Alexandria (about 125 B. c.,
was an ingenious inventor Of mechan-
ical toys. In his works, "Pneumatics'
and "Automata," he describes some
hundred small machines that he prob
ably never carried beyond the ''model'
stage.
These included steam engine and a
double forcing pump to be used as a
fire engine.
Hero was also the inventor of the
automatic delivery, or penny in the slot
machine. He describes "a sacrifcial
vessel which flows only when money
is introduced"
When the coin is dropped through
the slit it falls on one end of bal
anced horizontal lever, which being
depressed opens a valve suspended
from Il chain at the other end. and the
water begins to flow.
When the lever has been depressed
to certain angle the coin falls off and
the valve, being weighted. returns to
it's seat and cuts off the supply. The
mechanism is practically Identical
with the present system. - Baltimore

GOT GAY ON THE STAGE.
Irving Spoiled the Scene the Only Time
He Broke His Rule.

He Broke His Rule.
The note about actors who try to
"queer" other actors on the stage,
writes correspondent, reminds me of
a story Of the only time when Henry
Irving was guilty of such a thing. He
was acting Othello, to the Desdemona
Of the late Miss Bateman. and every
Saturday night the performance was
followed by very pleasant little sup
per party.
Desdemona was strangled on a bed
at the back of the stage, and part Of
Irving's business" was to leave the
bed and then, going back to it, to draw
the curtaias slightly aside and peep in
at the Eody, afterward turning face
Of inexpressible anguish toward the
audience. His face, his shudder and
the deep drawn sigh which he gave
were among the most impressive parts
Of one of his greatest creations.
AS rule, he sternly suppressed any
levity on the stage, but one Saturday
night, as he drew back the curtain, he
said, in a sepulchral whisper, "What
have we for supper, Desdemona?"
Alas! Miss Bateman was unequal to
the strain, and merry laugh from the
corpse rang through the house.
Never again, I believe, did Irving
break his own rule Of seriousness on
the stage. 1t was told me adds our
correspondent by my father, who was
at the supper party on the night it oc-

1hrived on Poor Writing.

Illegible handwriting may prove an
aid to prosperity. The late Lord Co.
schen said Of his father, HE has told
me half in joke and half in earnest
that when he came to London he was
obliged to found a firm because he
wrote such a bad hand that no one
would take him for clerk" Of Lord
Goschen himself his biographer re-
marks: "In his latter years he might
have spelled as he chose, for no one
could have affirmed with certainty
how many Ps' he might have put in
although At length his script be-
came undecipherable even by Goschen
himself. He could not when speaking
in parliament make out what it was
that he had put on paper, and he thus
came in ;ater years to abandon almost
entirely his old practice of making
notes."

LONDON BOOTBLACKS.
Street Corners Knew Them Early In
the Eighteenth Century.

Street Corners Knew Them Early In
the Eighteenth Century.
Liquid backing, such as is now used,
was invented early in the nineteenth
century. Previously various mixtures
were used.
There are many illusions in eight
eenth century literature to shoeblacks
and backing. In the London World of
Jan. 81, 1754. Edward Moore, describ-
ing the miseries Of an author, says that
he would rather have started in life as
a shoeblack had he but had the money
to buy or credit to procure "a stool.
brush and blackball.'
An old kind Of backing consisted Of
ivory black, very coarse moist sugar
and water with a little vinegar. A
mixture Of whale oil and SCOT was used
in Gray's time The author Of "Tri-
via" has several illusions to the 'black
youth" who stood at street corners
then as now:
Hark The boy calls thee to his destin'd
stand,
And the shoe shines beneath his oily hand
Defoe makes his Colonel Jack de-
