How to Cure a Sever-e Cold.
A few ”weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him to
be in a most miserable condition. It was
undoubtedly a bad case of la. grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-
diate steps tohring about a. speedy cure.

out at Broadway,.Cor. Grand St, N.

remain. No such “bargains have .ever
been placed on the market at. this sea-

This opportunity to buy fine clothing

tOr Wyatt delegations were present

listened to by a large congregation,

applauded. The music was fine and
the services in their entirety will not
soon be forgotten by those present.

Coroner Mixseii' Kiiiea.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Dr. A. J. Mixsell,
one of the ooroners of Westchester county,
and a candidate for re-eleotlon on the
Democratic ticket, was killed by a train
on the New Haven railroad at Mamaro<
neck. The coroner attempted to cross the
track to catch a train for New Bork city,
when he was7struck by the Naugatuck ex-
press. He was hurled a considerable dis-
tance and instantly killed. He was well
known in Westchester county politics. He
leaves a widow and one daughter.
Disapproves the Ayres Sentence.
WASHINGTON, N ov. 2.——The president
has disapproved the sentence of dismissal
imposed by court martial updn Captain
Charles G. Ayres, Tenth cavalry, for mak-
ing charges of a personal nature against a ,
brother ofiiccr directly to the war depart-
ment instead of through his superior ofli-
cer commanding at Fort Custer. Captain
Ayres is released from arrest and ordered
to Fort Sam Houston, Tex., “to avoid
further unseemly contention and disturb-
ance.” as the president says.
Spontaneous Combustion in; Ice-Houses.
The Iowa Dairy Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company has issued a circular
containing the following on sponta-
neous combustion:
“Sawdust in icehouses is self-ignit-
ablc, caused by spontaneous combus-
tion in hot weather. In order to
avoid a. fire from above cause the
sawdust should not be allowed to pile
up over four or five inches on top of
the ice. The surplus should be re-
moved and kept out of the ice house.
Where the sawdust is allowed to ac-
cumulate on top of your ice it will
consume the ice.”
Her Mistake.
A lady who was looking about in a
bric-a—brac shop, with a view to pur'
chasing something old, noticed a
quaint figure, the head and shoulders
of which appeared above the counter.
“What is that Japanese idol over
there worth?" she inquired. The
salesman replied in a subdued tone.
Worth about £10,000, madam; it’s the
proprietor.”-—Tid Bits.
. The Goal in Sight.
“Your husband seems to be making
money.”
“Yes: he says that by next summer

\Vlld “'cst Courtesy.
Having finished lnditing an edifying
account of the lynching of a superflu-
ous Chinaman which had occurred im-
mediately after the greased-pig chase
at the recent Sunday 'school picnic,
the able editor of the Rocket City Ba:
zoo rested from his literary labors and
began bathing with liniment his left
leg, which had pained him more or less
ever since the surgeon had dug out a
small batch of slugs which had been
shot into it some weeks before by an
infuriated presiding elder.
While the scribe was still engaged
in this praiseworthy operation a small
boy appeared with a note, which the
editor found upon examination to be
couched in the following succinct lan~
guage:
“Colonel Rawhide’s compliments to
the editor of the Bazoo, and hopes he
has on file a copy of the last issue of
his vile sheet, in which he stigmatized
the Colonel as a putrid, pestilential
abscess in the bosom of society, as the
Colonel intends to call upon the editor
this afternoon and make him eat it.”
Bidding the lad wait a moment, the
editor grasped his pen in his good
right hand and wrote the following
terse and conclusive reply:
“The editor of the Bazoo begs to ac-
knowledge receipt of Colonel Raw-
lilde’s appreciated favor of this date,
and requests that the Colonel will, if
he can do so without serious incon-
venience to himself, make his call up-
on the editor after 2 o’clock this after-
noon and before 5 o’clock, as the ed-
itor confidently expects to be engaged
in a shooting affray with a prominent
advertiser at about 1 or 1:30 o’clock,
and has an engagement to lecture be-
fore the Young Men’s Christian Asso-
ciation tonight. The Colonel will al<
so greatly oblige the editor by inform.
ing the undertaker and Coroner of his
intention before starting for this
office-«Judge. :_ :

Unliiiown and 'Known.
Charles Sumner once had an expe-
rience which taught him that he was
both known and unknown, even in
Boston. He was on his way, riding
in a. street car, to attend a. social meet-
ing of the Church of the Disciples, to
which he had been invited by the pas-
tor, Dr. James Freeman Clarke, when
two suggestive incidents happened.
While in the car he asked a. gentle-
man the exact locality of the church.
The gentleman told him, and then
said: “Are youa stranger. sir?” show-
ing that there was a. Bostonian who
did not know Mr. Sumner ‘by sight.
But a boy in the cur jumped out
when Mr. Sumner reached his desti-
nation, and said: “Mr. Sumner, will
you please write your name in my al-
bum?” They stopped under a stneet
lamp, and Mr. Sumner wrote his
name. “ ‘
