Chief Justice Fuller took the oath of office last Monday. It is said that the noise of voters flopping from one party to another in New York keeps the politicians awake nights. —Chicago News. The anonymous giver of $12,000 to the yellow fever sufferers is said to be no other than Levi P. Morton, Republican candidate for Vice-President. The ancient custom of ringing the curfew bell has been resumed at Strat-ford-on-Avon, the same bell being used as that which was tolled at Shakespeare's funeral. A Washington territory man left $2,000 for all the delicacies of the season to be fed to his dog, while his old father was made heir to his watch and chain only. Perhaps with a view to save his voice Mr. Gladstone has quite recently acquired a habit of speaking rapidly—very different from’the measured tones in which he used to address an audience, A man in Hamilton, 0., has run for a county office twenty-one successive times, and has been defeated every time. He says his chances begin to look a trifle blue and that five or six more defeats will lead him to pause and reflect. Dr. Tanner, of fasting fame, now proposes, it is stated, to give his soul a rest for sixty days, having his body sealed meanwhile in an air-tight casket. At the expiration of two months he proposes to come out of the coffin just as well as he was when he was boxed up. The tallest building in America is about to be constructed in Minneapolis, Minn., a Pittsburgh architect having completed the plans. It is said to be twenty-eight stories high. This Babel building will be eighty feet square, and will have a court yard in the center. It will be 350 feet high and will contain 728 rooms. Charles F. A. Hinrichs of New York, whose fortune is rated at anywhere from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 was a porter in a china store not many years ago. A good part of this fortune has been made in shrewd real estate investment, land that ho bought for SSO and SIOO an acre being now in some instances worth SIO,OOO an acre. Mr Arthur Meyer, editor of Le Gaulious, Paris, is said to have declared in his youth: “I shall be a gentlemen of society. I shall force my way into the most carefully guarded drawing rooms. I shall be the equal of princes. I shall kiss the hands of duchesses. I shall be on intimate terms with the greatest houses of the Faubourg St. Germain. In a word I shall be the Beau Brummel of the Jews. He realized his ambition. The fiftieth Congress stands politically as follows: Senate—thirty-nine Republicans, thirty-seven Democrats, total, 76. House—one hundred and fif-ty-two Republicans, one hundred and sixty-nine Democrats, two labor, two independents; total, three hundred and twenty-five, At the coming election an entire new House of Representatives will be chosen. The terms of twentysix senators, thirteen of whom are Republicans and thirteen Democrats, will expire March 3, 1889. The New York World (Democratic) says editorially: “Mr Harrison has written a letter to brand as a lie the assertion that he once said $1 a day was good enough wages for a working man. Nobody of common sense ever supposed that he said so. There are some campaign lies which are transparent, and this is one of them." The Philadelphia Ledger adds this comment: “Even in politics it pays to tell the truth and be just to an antagonist. The people like a fair fighter, and no newspaper will lose in their respect by refusing to help a lie, even by keeping silent about it.” A writer who knows whereof he is speaking says that newspaper patrons discriminate outrageously between the city and country publisher. The city paper is paid for in advance, while in many cases the locol paper is not paid for until a year’s subscription is due, and often not then. The country subscribers to the city papers will please throw a stone through our window w hen they find an obituary notice of a departed loved one in their cash-in-ad-vance city paper, or see heralded in the great metropolitan chaff-catcher the arrival of a ten-pound shoot of humanity at their domicile. If the city paper puffs your town or your business you may drop around and stick your finger in our eye.

Enamored youth : “Your father treats me with the most distinguished consideration. The other night he called to me as I was leaving and reminded me that I was forgetting my umbrella.” Sweet girl' “Yes, papa was afraid you ' would be coming back after it the next evening. —Philadelphia Record. , The majority report of the Utah > Commission has been received by Sec- > retary Villas. It opposes the admission of Utah as a state until such time > as the Mormons show less duplicity regarding polygamy. This report, like 1 that of the minority, favors a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy in the United States. A man answering the description of ■ Tascott, the Chicago burglar who murdered millionaire Snell, was arrested at Denver, last week on suspicion. There was a gold filling in his teeth and a wound in the leg, but he proved to be T. Scott Turner of Memphis, Tenn. The arrest was caused because he car- . ries a watch with the words “T. Scott” , engraved on the inside of the case, , which some one hastily read “Tascott.” Theemperoi of China’s railway train, , which has just been constructed in . France, is about to be shipped at Mar- । seilles. It consists of six carriages, ! three of which are for the emperor’s own use. They are most sumptuously decorated and furnished, and the doors and panels are ornamented with immense brass dragons. In each of the imperial saloons is a throne at one end, with a small table for opium smoking in front of it. Speaker Carlisle is said to be looking unwell. His recent speeches in Kentucky, though but three in number, greatly tried his strength. He has had no rest for over ten months, and in addition to everything else, has had his own election contest on his hands a greater part of the time. The National Committee has asked him to make speeches for three weeks in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. His getting away for even ten days seems unlikely. The Massachusetts Relief Association, an asessment insurance concern, has proved rotten, and Attorney-General Waterman has filed information with the Supreme Court asking for the appointment of a receiver. The Association has refused payment of twelve death claims and a large number of sick claims, all of which are perfectly good in law. To meet $6,000 now due it has only S6OO, which is in the hands of the State Treasurer as a guarantee fund. It does not own its office-furniture and has no other assets. All who have been insured will lose their claims. All who have been insured will lose their insurance, and creditors will lose their claims. Absolutely nothing will be left for members of the /Association. It has been running down for some time and the assessments do not bring as much as they should. Joliu Chinaman on the Diamond. The fun to be obtained from seeing a lot of girls play baseball must now give place to the mirth provoked by the spectacle of Chinamen disporting themselves in the national game. We quote from a Chicago news item in tho New Y ork World: If laughter be a criterion of success, the most successful baseball game ever played in Chicago was played yesterday afternoon at the League Park. It was the first regular game of the Chinese teams, known respectively as the Pi Pittahs, of Chicago, and the Vanquishers of the Dragon, from San Francisco. From beginning to end the spectators were in a delirium of mirth. They fell off the benches from laughing. They rocked to and fro holding their sides. The lad who sells peanuts,showered cascades of fruit over the stand in the excess of his hilarity. No “roaring farce” at a theater ever produced such roars as these. Yet the occasion was wholly serious to the Chinamen. The Vanquishers of the Dragon were attired in dark blue shirts. Their captain had said to them: “If the ball comes in youi direction place yourself boldly in front of it. If it lodges in your clothes extricate it. But in no case run away from it. ” They obeyed these instructions literally. Whenever they saw the ball coming they faced it heroically. They let it strike them where ever it pleased, in the face, or body or legs, As a rule they fell when it hit them, and the ball, ricochetting on another player, blowed him over too. '1 hus there were occasionally presented the spectacle of all the players lying prone upon the field like nine pins. And meanwhile, goaded by the spectators, the man at the bat would run around the bases until he was tired. In this way the Vanquishers of the Dragon put nineteen runs to their credit in the first inning. Only three innings were played before darkness stopped the sport. The score was: Chicago, 26; San Francisco, 38. The spectators declared they would rather see one such game than a thousand league contests. Customer (to grocer)—"l want to get a pound of old cheese.” Grocer—- “ All right. I’ll send it around in five minutes.” Customer—“ All right, and let it bring a couple of crackers with । it.

1 File The Mews, The Goshed Democrat says: Every subscriber to a local paper should make it a point to file every number received. In after years the pleasure of perusing the accounts of happenings that have in many cases passed from memory will bo greater than reading events fresh in local history. Old files of local newspapers possess an inestimable value, providing, as they do, the means of supp ly iug missing links in the chain of histoiy. As the publications of forty or fifty years ago are eagerly scanned by people of today in search of ancient history, so also will the papers of tho present be invaluable half a century hence. Weather for October. The weather clerk says that the month of October bears a fair promise of being unusually fine through its opening week during which there are no important aspects. An unfavorable change is, however, indicated during the period included between the 6th and 12th- Fine weather, on the whole, is indicated up to and beyond the 21st, when an increase of temperature with tine genial weather is likely to accompany the sextile aspect of Mars and the sun. Uncertain atmospheric conditions are indicated by the aspects occurring during the four days chronicled. It is, however, highly probable that the period just mentioned, as well as the remaining days of the month, with thejexceplion of the 30th and part of the 31st, during which the parallel of Mercury and Saturn ai.d the inferior conjuction between Mercury and the sun will be operating will be fine and seasonable. — Ex. ’ NORTH LIBERTY.
