A Nut forGocrgo to Crack.
New York Sun: If Henry George
would chat with foiuc of our savings
bank managers he would be presented
with a hard nut to crack. For many
years mortgages upon improved farmB in
Nov York and New England have been
regarded as the; best kind of inve-tmert
for savings-bank deposits. But they are
no longer so regarded. Connecticut
farms, for iu.-t;,nce, many hanks will not
look at, and the shyness abort loaning
on New York and western farm property
is greatly ineresin. Good city property
is regarded favorably.
A BP? AVE LAD.
FranK. Tiavor Distinguishes Him
self by Stopping n Runaway
on Short Notice.
Yesterday afternoon just about 1
o'clock, Chas. Harris with his little light
carriage and pony, was out riding with
Cai Castler anil Frank Traver, who is
about 12 yours old. They ste pprd in
front of M. B. Murphy's grocery :;nd Mr.
Harris went in to get some crackers, leav
ing the reins in the hands of young
Traver. Just after Harris entered the
store Tom Patceison came along down
street at about a two minute gi;te on his
bicycle, and passed within a few feet of
the pony. The horse was frightened at
the spinning wheels and made a lui'ge
forward and the riyht front wbecd which
was cramped w-;s taken off cs neat as
could be, ard the horse started to run.
The movement was so unexpected that
ueithcr Cal Castler nor Frank Traver
were prepared and Castler made a leap
for the grouml which was reached after
a revolution m the air, but in such a
manner that he measured his length
thereon. Traver, however, hell to the
lines and laying his whole weight on to
the right ons pulled the horse up on the
sidewalk just opposite, nearly knocking
one or two men down. Several of the
bystander who saw tho boy's peril made
an effort to catch the hores's head but
Frank hael the animal stalleel on the side
walk before anybody had time to do
much.
No one was injured but the buggy
looked aged and was gently hauled off
to a side street w!iil ' tlu horse was taken
home. When Frank Traver was asked
why he didn't jump he repl e l that he
couldn't but just held on to the lines
and his ability to do that probably saved
him serious injury.
ALL HALLOWS EVE.
Festivities and Superstitions Con
nected With All fcalnts'
Festival.
Hallow Eve or IlallowRs' Eve, or, in
,..t-li Bunnell llnllownVn. is tho eve of
Ml HmII.iws or All Saints' Dav. It has
always been the occasion of certain pop
ii!nr ileum's In Chris, tendom. some nitre
o
diversion, o I hers downright superstition
Hobby Uurns lias described Scottish sup
erstitions and beliefs in his poem Hal
lowe'en. and these are largely shared by
the Irish Gaels. There is ducking for
ajiplep, a favorite pastime of the youths
of the family. To be rigidly performed,
a tub must lie at least half-filled with
water, and th' n tempting apples thrown
in. Tho adventurous vount'ster must
have his hands tied behind his back,
kneel beside the tub and grasp the fruit
in his teeth. Eves and eosc ..mil ears
;nav be filled with water, and the loud
laughter of the bystanders at his unsuc
cessful efforts may disconcert him, but if
lie is a lad of spirit he will persevere and
carry away more than one of the pippins.
'crliaps a little more unpleasant is this
trick;" A cross of pointed sticks hangs
from the ceiling by a string. On two of
the points are apples, on the two others
lighted tallow candles. The cross is
whirled around and the adventerous
youth makes a bite at the apple. Gener-
dly he gets a mouthful of the warm tal
low, and the company laugh "till the:r
sidus ache." Then there are charms and
spells to dbeover one's future partner in
life. Two hazel-nuts, to which are giv-
the name of a lad and a lass supposed
to have a tender passion for each other,
are placed beside each other before the
open hearth, or nowadays on the stove
id. If they burn together slowly and
steadily it is believed that tliev whom
tiiey represent will spend a placid life in
the bonds of matrimony, but if one ilis
from the other, so will the match be dis
rupted, jfany other charmes are per
formed, more especsally by the fair sex,
jut more often in the name of the evil
one, an.l for this reason the practices aie
discountenanced by the Catholic church.
With Catholics this is a fi.st day but
there is generally more or less good cheer
aud the national dishes grace tho table.
Few Scotchmen are Catholics, and so
they will violate no rule of their church
by indulging, tis the clans do 'o-night,
in haggis. Haggis is a pccular but rich
dish. It is a sheep's maw in which the
iver, lights, ete'., are cooked, with oat-
m-..al, onions,and such other seasoning as
the cook's taste suggests. Boiled first,
then roasted, served piping hot. it is re
ceived with all the enthusiasm that
greets the appearancefof the boar's head
or plum pudding at a genuine English
board at Christmas tide.
Death of Jonathan Christian.
London, Oct. 3b- -Jonathan Christian,
once solicitor general tor Ireland, is
deael.
A Narrow Escapo-
Plattsmonth came near having a dis
asterpus conflagration to-day just about
11 o'clock. Mr. Patterson looking from
the bank wimlow noticed flames blazing
up past two of the upper windows in the
Sherwood block, and hurried across the
street te give; the alarm. Mr. Sherwood
could hardly believe it as his wife and
family were up etairs, but hastened to
s,v. Entering the sitting room he found
it full of blinding smoke, the curtains,
carpet. window frames anil wash
boards o;i the cast end of the
room in flames, and seizeing some
halny bed clothing beat the tire out.
After th3 windows were opened and the
smoke allowed to escape, it was found
the lire hael most likely caught from a
spark from the wood stove in the room.
The carpet near the wall was burnt con
sidtrble, the mop board, one end of the
machine scorched anel blackened, some
sewing ruined, the window sill anel
frames were burned somewhat and the
lace curtains anel .blinels were entirely
devoured by the fire, and this constituted
the damages which will amount to about
$25.
A wonderful incident connected with
the fire was the infant child lay asleep
in the room within four feet of the
names and was never wakened, and had
it not been for the timely discovery of
the fire by Mr. Patterson the child might
have lost its life, for the lire woulel soon
have communicated with the cradle
Mrs. Sherwood is just able to be up,
having been confined to her bed with ty
phoid fever for about five weeks and she
had left thd room but a few minutes be
fore the alarm, tj attend the kitchen
ami she had no idea of the fire till Mr.
Sherwood came up. Had it not been for
the well plastered walls the fire with the
start it had ot could hardly have been
extinguished without water.

l;riiiks as an Inden of Character.
Perhaps one miht thcorizo about charac
ter from favorite drinks as much &3 from
"pai-.nrit-ry" or handwriting. Napoleon had
the I vart, i ever a man had, of a despot. He
drank strong bl.iek cciTce, th-; sultan's dri-.ik,
and Chambortin, tho rich wmo cf prince-;:.
Crcmvcll and George of Clarence were both
ambitious, wiih very opposite endings. Both
loved Malmsey, which tradition asserts,
drowned the latter in the Jewel tower. Riche
lieu, the cold, crafty, calculating cardinal,
loved the thin red wine of Modoc. The mag
nificent and high spirited monarch, Henry
VIII, and Francis of France, loved what Fal
stafl: holds to be so inspiriting, namely, "a
good sharris sack." Edmund Kean's erratic,
magnificent genius and mad career were
nourished on brandy, which was, indeed, life
to the unhappy tragedian. Dogan tells us
that after hi3 return, utterly broken, in 1827,
only constant glasses of "brown brandy, very
hot anel very strong," enabled him to get
through his scenes. Addison's polished equable
essays wero written on moderate potations of
excellent claret. Charles Lamb, most per
ennially charming of essayists, was a thorough
Londoner in heart, and his favorite drink
was genuine London porter. Pitt and Eldon,
who represented the older order of things,
both loved port, of which the chancellor could
drink three bottles. Detroit Free Press.
