It is a certain truth, although our
belief is not that way inclined, that
whenever the Roman Catholic's of any
city in the Universe undertake to hold a
fair or raise a subscription they are al

this fact. Go tonight if you wish to aid
in a worthy object, learn a lesson, and be

A Geography Puzzle.
I once had a friend whose christian
name was a river in Dakota, and whese
Hurname was a riycr in Australia.
His spirits were always as light as a
lake In Australia, especially when he be
utrode his spirited horse, to whom he had
given the name of a river in Russia, anc'
whose color was a river in France.
He always wore an Isthmus of Panama
hat, river in Scotland clothes, and coun
try in Africa boots, but Ins nppearence
was slightly marred by a city in Ireland
limb.
It was his custom to go eyery evening
to see a young lady called a river in Si
heria. She was quite a belle, as her fath
er was a well-to-do mountain in Wash
ington territory, and she herself was not
without charms.
One eveninir he asked her to set her
mountain in Oregon, and come for a walk
when she indignantly replied, "I do not
wear a mountain in Oregon, "but a city
on the Caspian Cap."
They wandered silently through the
green lanes, and were standing pensively
under a town in Colorado near which
some swine were disporting themselves
in a pubble, when she suddenly exclaim
ed, "See how the hogs a town in Wash
ington territory."
He had supposed that their mountains
in Germany were filled with love, and to
have the illusion so rudely dispelled by
an allusion to animals that had such an
unpleasant riycr of Germany about them
wv.s too much.
lie had received her remarks with t
cape in Canada, and as she seemed un
aware of the mistake she had made, he
answered her remark with a contempt u
ous cape in Canada, threw a city in Ar
kansas at the innocent cause of his dis
comfiture, and started for home.
A few days afterward he decided to
revisit his dulcina. As he strolled along
smoking a City in Cuba, he saw
her father's island near France, and her
island near Scotland, quietly grazing;
but she was not ai the window as usual,
feeding her islands of the coast of Africa,
and a cape on the Atlantis const took
posession of him.
On the sofa sat his adorable with
young man who was one of the city in
France, of the season, but who looked
islands off the coast of England, when
he saw his rival. My friend looked
poak of tho Alps, cld chills ran down
his Arctic river, for he had distinctly
heard the fellow say as he entered a
river in Florida.
With an insolent air, the fellow whose
name was, river in British America, told
him that he meant to port of Paris and
that he might go to city of Nova Scotia
"Yes, do go away," said river of Sibe
ria, "you have become a perfect city on
the Danube, and besides he has pro
mised me a peak of Oregon ring."
My friend declared he would give the
fellow a river in Kentucky, that he had
won her with a cape on the Pacific coast.
that he would river in Ireland him yet,
but he happened to remember that he
had no one to go his city hi Switeilaud,
if he used his town in Arizona, so,
though it was hard city in France her he
turned and left the house without a cape
of Greenland.
We feared that he would city in Italy
over the world, or take to a town in
Illinois, but he 6imply took a European
strait powder and seemingly slept off nis
cape on the Pacific coast, for the next
day was Thanksgiving, he did full jus
tice to the country of Europe.

Bob Ingersoll in his argument in the

plea in behalf of his clients with the fol

any man can patent tho idea of sending
speech by electricity. He can patent de
vices by which that can be done, but he
cannot get a patent on tho lightning.
A man can pateut a water wheel, but he
cannot patent the water, or say to the

but mine. A man may pateut a wind
mill, but not the wind, and any man who
can make a better mill may use the same

from the attorneys on the other side.

If Louisa M. Alcott had a pet aversion,
it perhaps was the morbid, the introspec
tive; her imjKitience with any literature
that encouraged the young, and especially
young girls, to "peer ami pry into the
state of their little spiritual insides, " was
sometimes rather ''vitriolic," as George
Elliot would say, in its expression. She
pronounced the Wordsworth maxims,
"To look outward and not in" and "to
lend a hand" to be "sound mental hy
giene." Like all strong hearts she hon
ored strength in others, and sometimes
resented its opposite. Once I remarked
with some surprise on the evident enjoy
ment of an almost exclusively feminine
tea party by a gentleman of our acquaint
ance, and I vividly recall tho sudden
flash of her eyes, and smile, as she said :
"Oh, yes; but he's not a man; he's a

A Foremen's Association.
An organization just formed in Pitts
burg is called the Foremen association,
and consists of foremen from every large
industry in the city, from the iron mills
to the paint shops. Its object is to secure
a suitable reading room, library, gymna
sium, and especially a lecture hall,
"where new ideas, both theoretical and
practical, may be exchanged;" to secure
places for skilled workmen in all trades;
to inaugurate a system of visits to tha
principal shops and mills for the inter
change of suggestions and comment, and
for the general advancement of the inter
ests of the foremen themselves, of the
employers for whom they work, and the
men whom they direct. It is the inten
tion to make tho organization a national
one. New York Sun.
Want to Change Their Color.
A few nights ago a party of colored
men were limiting coons near ucaia
swamps, in the southern part of Georgia.
Zeke Mason, one of the party, while at
tempting to cut a tree that a coon was
supposed to occupy, cut a deep gash in
his leg. His first act was to run to a
marshy, stagnant pool near by, and gath
ering lianduiis ot tne slimy niuu,pouiticeu
the- wound, thereby obstrnoting the flow
of blood. The next day the wound had
healed, and the entire part of the leg on
which the mud had been placed had
turned almost white. Colored people

grimages to the pool and daubing them
selves with mud in the hope of becoming

S!i raid the Price.
Because Louisa M. Alcott received
about $100,000 from the sales of her
books many a hopeful and inexperienced
writer will imagine that literature is the
highway to fortune as well as fame.
Let them remember one of Emerson's
nuggets of wisdom. That is, that wo
can take whatsoever we will if we but
pay the price. Miss Alcott paid the price
it was a price few could pay. She
began teaching school and writing stories
when about 10, and although she loathed
the teaching she was forced to keep on at
it for fifteen years before her writings
produced an income sufficient to enable
her to depend entirely upon her pen for
Bupport. New York Press "Every Day

55 years of age, as black as black can be,
with short, kinky hair, and deep set,

cures all ills, and can tell the lucky num

peculiar song which she sings on Friday,
and wears ssveral amulets. Her in

city is said to be simply wouderful.

THE ELECTION
Up to three o'clock this afternoon there
had been 153 votes cast in the First ward;
in the Second it was not learned how
many votes were cast, but the prospect
was good for Dr. Shipman, independent
candidate for councilman, being elected.
In the Third ward there had beeu 205
votes cast, but the contest for council
man was so close that no opinion could
be formed as to who would be the com
ing man. In tho Fourth ward there had
beeu 201 votes cast up to 3 o'clock and
the chances were in favor of Con O'Con
nor, democrat, being elected councilman.
No idea about the vote for mayor could
be formed, but it is thought that it will
be very close.
