Ringing a Bell.

I now have a selection of the new Sou vcuir SpuoiiH of the birthplace of JAMES It. BLAINE.

The picture ol old home and birthplace of the great statesman is pronounced a perfect one us well as his likeness on the handle of the spoon, making it a much souirht after souvenir.

Hon. James Gillespie Blaine was born Jan.31, 1830, in the house represented by the engraving in the bowl of the spoon. His early childhood days were spent about this home, playing in the well kept yard ana pazing at the meadows, steamboats on the Toaongahala river that so frequently osv. by, This old home of the Blaine was a beautiful one in its day, and no, iliat it is fast going to pieces, everybody will want something to remember it as the birthplace of such an eminent man, as the history ol to-day cannot bo repeated during the coming years without the mention of Air, Blaine's name, Call and seo them,

I'ileteen Minutes For Divorce. Judge Harney disposed of his first di\o ce suit Tuesday with a rapidity of an Illinois court, in which State it is an established feet that all the train brakemen add when they call the names of county seats "fifteen minutes for divorce." It was the case of Lora Clark against Wm. Clark, an account of whose trouble appeared in Monday's JOURNAL. MIS. Clark was suin^ for the support of herself and child

1

ri view of the

fact that her husband lad just fallen heir to some property left by his mother. Clark had been wanting her to get a divorce ever since they were married, and yesterday afternoon when the case came up all parties were called into the Judge's room for consultation. Clark's lawyers there offered Mrs. Clark to deed her Clark's interest in his mother's estate if she would apply for a divorce. She consented, the papers were hurridly drawn up by her attorneys, the suit filed, the case tried and the divorce granted in the time it takes to tell it. Clark signed the deed and at once skipped out with another young lady to whom he has been paying attention lately and who was greatly broken up over having been subpoened an a witness. It is rumored that there will be another marriage soon.

A Conflagration Averted.

John Bischof was not in his room Tuesday, or at least he was not after eignt o'clock. At that time he went up and in some way dropped alighted match bt hind his wood box. This set fire to some bcraps of wood and paper,and very soon the fire had burned through the floor and the coiling of the store room below. It smouldered along and soon the whole building was full of smoke. Bob Jackson ami John Fullen began a systematic sea vcb for the fire and had to break open several doors to do so. Bischof's room was broken into, but the fire was not discovered there as the wood box hid it from view. After several hours' search Bischof's room was again entered, and as the fire was beginning to blaze up through the floor it was discovered and extinguished. The wonder is that the whole building was not consumed, and if Mr. Bischof had left a window slightly tip so that air could have gotten to the fire it would have been all day with the Joel block. Such carelessness is deserving of the greatest censure.

A Contrary Mule.

W. J. Amos, who

is

delivering the

service pipe over tho city, has in his possession and employ a large, lop eared forty-two calibre mule which is the bane of his existence. This mule was evidently disappointed in love when as a colt it roamed over the blue grass fields of old Kentucky. At any rate it made up its mind long since to be contrary. It is continually stopping before it is requested and when argued with by means of a club it makes a break for the side walk down which it promenades at a wondrous rate,

UBing

the wagon be­

hind it to bark the shade trees and peel the pickets off the fences. It has a de cided taste for leather too, and when not watched delights to reach around and chew the harness off its back. It never kicks unless a good target is presented and this it always strikes full center. It is only a sad-eyed mule but it has more terror for the natural gas men than mud, cold weather and a local option law combined.

11 Fire at New Ross. ®®*At 8 o'clock Thursday the bakery at New Boss was dieeovered to be in flames. The whole town turned out and by hard work the fire was soon extinguished. Had it not been for this hard work, however, the whole business portion of the town would have gone up as the wind was blowing briskly in the right direction, and the town has no fire department. The ceiling fell on Mrs.

Bowman but she was not seriously injured.

They Due: Buck Stout's Grave. Dan Siinms, a well known attorney of Covington, was in the city Wednesday and in the circuit court room. He walked up to the court stenographer, Will White, and-after the usual salntions exclaimed. "Billy, do you remember the day we dug Buck Stout's grave?" There was a general laugh and after it the story had to come out. The boys were at the time of the execution of Buck Stout attending a s- mmor norinai at Waynetown and hearing that the great murderer was to be buried at Wesley a few miles away, they trudged off along the hot, dusty road to tho cemetery to witness the ceremonies and, if possible get a peep at the body which had stretched hemp so admirably. They arrived at the cemetery several hours before the time set for the interment, and there made a discovery. By some mistake or other tho grave had not been dug and as there was no vault, quite a scene was promised when the remains reached the place. The young men were equal to the occasion, however, and throwing off their coats proceeded to dig the grave. The day was broiling hot, and no shad in sight, but for all that Dan and Billy plunged in and made the earth fly. They dug the grave both wide and deep and had just completed the work when the procession rolled up. In spite of all the boys had done the body was lowered and buried without they being allowed a glimpse of it. So they have always kept mum about digging a grave for a man thew never saw.

The Scientific Rainmaker.

General Dyrenfurth, the official scientist who was put in charge of the experiments at rainmaking, is far from an enthusiast on that or auy other subject yet in the experimental stage.

GENERAL DYRRNFURTH.nomenaproduced by the explosion of bombs in it. The theory is that by exploding the bombs in the rain stratum (which is above tho heated stratum near the earth) electric currents will be generated of such force as to create an ascending and rotary column of air, and that that will cause rain. There is still much to learn on the subject.

Danger of Confusion.

"This animal, ladies and gents," said the showman, "is the chimpanzee. The remarkable thing about the chimpanzee, ladies and gents, is that it comes nearest to bein a human person of any speesliy of the monkey tribe. This here is the chimpanzee, ladies and gents," he continued, "theone inside the cage. Please stand a little furder back, sir! You'll get mixed."

And he glared at a young dude from Jersey City who was poking the animal with his cane.—Chicago Tribune.

BOSTOX, Nov. 19.—During the morning session of the W. C. T. U. convention Wednesday the work of various departments was reported upon and discussed. Mrs. Hannah .J. Bailey spoke for the peace and international arbitration department, and her remarks were fuil.of hopeful outlook for the future. "Standing'armies will exist so long as the world runs if people continue to use alcoholic drinks." It was voted that a telegran* be sent to the president and government of theUnited States against any belligerent action on the part of the United States toward Chili.

The work of the afternoon was devoted to the committee on plans of work and the report of the committee on resolutions. Following the readings of the reports and the adoption of resolutions addresses were made by Mrs. Bokarat, Mine. Arabella Angeline, of Italy, and Miss Catherine Gumey, of England, who came to the convention as fraternal delegates from the Christian police in London. There was a brief memorial service for the dead of the Woman's Christian Temperance union and the convention adjourned sine die with the benediction. A synopsis of the- resolutions adopted is as follows:

They pledge tho members of the union to renewed efforts in the cause of total abstinence and prohibition recommend the prosecution of department work emphasize total abstinence for the individual and legal prohibition for the state: rejoice "th-u capitalists are perceiving tho financial benefits of prohibition by the many towns being established with a prohibitory clause in charter and deed note the founding of a Father Mathew professorship In the Catholic university at Washington approve most heartily of the suggestion that a John 13.

An honest Swede tells his story in plain but unmistakable language for the benefit of the public. "One of my children took a severe cold and got the croup. I gave her a teaspoonfnl of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and in five minutes later I gave her one more. By this time she had to cough up the gathering in her throat. Then 6he went to sleep and slept good for fifteen minutes. Then she got up and vomited then she went back to bed and slept good for the remainder of tho night. She got the croup the second night and I gave her the same remedy with the same good results. I write this because thought there might be some one in the same need and not know the true merits of this wonderful medicine." CHARLES A.
