Alfred Hoberg, for so many years con nected with the well-known firm of Hoberg, Root fc Co., retired last Saturday night, being succeeded by Robert O, Miller. Mr, Hoberg has been with the house for over twenty years, and for several years was a member of the firm, and his face has been a familiar and welcome one on Printing House Square, where his duties as advertising manager called him. Mr. Hoberg has not deter mined his plans for the future but will take a much needed rest before engaging in other business. Whether it should be here or elsewhere, his ability and energy guarantee that he will succeed Mr. Miller, the new member of the firm, has been book-keeper there for several years, is capable, well-known aud popular, and his friends are glad to see him pushing to the front, with such a wellestablished and reliable firm. C. H. Werner, for a long time with the house, will for the present have charge of the advertising.
Not many men who enter secret societies can relate as interesting an experience regarding it as can Josse A. Vrydagh, the well known architect, who recently was made a master masou in Euclid Lodge, of this city. Mr. Vrydagh received his first lessons in Masonry in Belgium in 1861, where he was given the first and second degrees in the lodge of "La Constance." He came to this country before finishing his degrees, and more than thirty years passed be fore he decided to complete them. It was necessary before doing this that he should furnish some evidence that he had been given the other degrees in a lawful lodge of Masons, which he was able to do in the shape of a certificate irom the lodge in which he received the degrees. The document is in French with an English translation and under the seal of the "Respectable Lodge La Constance, working at the Orient of Louvain under the Obediency of the Grand Lodge of Belgium." The certificate is an unique one, and is, of course, highly prized by it* owner aside from the standing it gives him in the fraternity. Very frequently members of the fraternity have become members of the local lodges by what is known as "affiliation" after they had received the degrees iti foreign lauds, as was the case with William Cleland, the well-known contractor, who was a member of the Scottish lodge, Kilwaining, which is known as the "mother lodge" of masonry W. A. Crawford, who was a member of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, and Prof. Bukowitz, the music teacher who was here several years ago, and who received his degrees in Italy. But it is believed this Is the first case on record, in this vicinity at least, where & man received bis first Masonic degrees in a foreign country, and then completed them here. I

ABOUT WOMEN.
The voice of a woman is more distinct over a telephone than that of a man. Every woman thinks there should be a law to protect her husband from paying a bet that he loses.
An
exchange says: One of the times when a woman has no mercy on a man is when he comes to her store to buy a bonnet for his wife.
The attendance of Mme. Ju, wife of the Chinese minister, at the recent White House dinner, was the first time in the history of this government—possibly the first in the history of any government—when a Chinese woman attended a function outside of her own house.
One of the high officials of the French detective department is reponsible for the statement that a number of ladies well known in Parisian society do not disdain to offer their services occasionally to the police for cash down. These are the "auxiliaries," but there are others who receive regular salaries, varying from 800 francs to 1,200 francs per month.
If hosiers know what they are about the feet of American women are larger than tbey once were. Three dozen pairs of women's hose used to be assorted as to size in this fashion: Six pairs No 8 six, No. 8J4 twelve, No. 9 six, No 9}S six, No. 10. The No. 8's have now disap peared from among women's sizes, aiu the number of the larger sizes iu three dozen pairs of hose is increased.

A GOLDEN SHOWER.
The Discoverer of the His Horn Mine Leaves a Fortune ty a Shoemaker.
Patrick Ryan of this town, a shoemaker, single. 50 years of age, received notice of tlie dcnth of his brother in Chicago. By his death he is the only heir.
It was early in 1849 that Jaines Ryan, then a young man, left Milford in company with Richard Quinlan and with hundreds of others went to the golden gate to seek their fortune in the goldfields of California.
They remained there for several years, but the mine they worked in, although rich in ore, was far from healthy and was particularly bad for the eyes, so much so that young Ryan's eyes were affected and he was forced to come east to have them attended to, for he was Himost blind.
Young Ryan recovered his sight after a few years, but the east was rather tame for him, and again he went west. His second trip was to Colorado. The silver fever had just broken out, and Leadville was not known. Denver was a town of few houses when James Ryan arrived there with a companion. They were not long prospecting before they struck a mine that proved a great find. They sold it for $20,000. This was the first big money that Ryan ever made, although it was but a small amount as compared with what he afterward made in the mining world.
He remained but a short time in Denver, when, in company with liis partner, they went, to Utah, where they pi'ospeeted for nearly a year, but were only sue cessful in getting small finds. They were all about to bid Utah goodby when they struck traces of silver, the ore proving the finest they ever met with.
The seam was followed and proved better than they ever dreamed they would see. This was no other than the Big Horn silver mine that they sold for $1,000,000.
The money was equally divided between the partners. The money market always had a charm for Ryan, and he lost a great deal among the bulls and bears in Chicago. More than once he was tightly squeezed by old man Hutchinson, who was in his prime in those days.
But the hidden treasure beyond the Rockies had charms also for ln'm that he could not overcome, and after losing what to many a man would be called a good sized fortune he returned to his old love of adventure and prospecting.
Again he proved successful and became the owner of several mines that brought liim immense wealth.
Mr. Ryan does not know the exact amount of his brother's wealth, nor will he for a few days to come. Mr. Percy Shea of Denver is to have charge of settling up the estate.—Milford Cor. Boston Globe.
AN ISLAND THAT GROWS.
Once It Knloiigeil to Missouri, but Now It Is Part of Kansas.
In the Missouri river, near Leavenworth, there is an island which has furnished the laud law officers of the government a novel problem. This island was on the Missouri side when it was smveyed in 1858. Now it is a legal part of Kansas. But that is not the queer thing about it. Islands in the Missouri frequently shift their allegiance.
The trouble with this island is that it has been growing. When the government officers surveyed it, they found 500 acres, and that was the amount entered in the records. When two Leavenworth men, Skillings and Diffendorf, took out patents for the whole island the amount of land put in the patents was 500 acres. But the island has been growing through all of these years in a way Missouri river islands have a fashion of doing. There are now 1,400 acres in the island. A coal bed, it has been discovered, runs under the island, and that tends to make the land more valuable.
Recently squatters have tried to take possession of the surplus over and above the 500 acres claimed by the patentees. The later set up a claim to the growth. The land lawyers of the government, after taking plenty of time to think about the case, have decided that Skillings and Diffendorf are entitled to the whole island under their original patents.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Ceylon Tea.
It appeal's that some of the Ceylon tea planters are making an organized attempt to obtain a sale for their teaseed in the London market. A parcel of seven bags of that article was offered at the drug sales recently, but no one seemed to know what to do with it, and although the broker declared his belief that the drag was "a favorite medicine in China" the audience remained unmoved. Nevertheless the teaseed might have been worth purchasing for the sake of tho bland oil which it contains, to the extent of about 85 per cent by weight, and which resembles olive oil in color and somewhat in taste. The seeds are about the size of a cherry stone, subglobular in shape and of a deep brown color. The oil would be useful for burning or lubricating.— London Chemist and Druggist.
$100 Reward $100.
The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
