BADLY DRAINED SECTION.
, After every storm there Is room for
complaint as to the bail state of uft'airs
on Hyde Talk avenue near the Taber
nacle Congregational church. There
are' two man holes to tin- sewer nt that
point and these outlets are forced to
take care of nil the drainage of the
area between Hyde Park und Lincoln
avenues and Jackson and Washburn
streets. The overflow Is great ufter
every rain fall and the streets are often
flooded. For" the past live years coun
cils have been asked to remedy the
evil but something has always Impeded
the Improvement. The residents of the
locality are complulning und action
must surely result and soon, too.

IT ! A FALLACY.
I'vils of Free Silver Coiling) Arc
Vividly IllilHlrnled.
From the Illustrated American.
Fiider the Bland and Sherman laws
the government has bought enough sil
ver from the mine owners to coin Into
nearly $600,000,000. But in spite of all
these purchases the market price of sil
ver has steadily been falling.
Now it takes about thirty ounces of
silver to buy an ounce of gold.
But the silver ndvocates demand that
our government shall allow every own
er of silver to bring It to the mint and
have It made into dollars at the rate of
l(i ounces of silver to I of gold.
In other words, they demand that the
government shall In this one commod
ity give the lie to the markets, and shall
try to compel the people to take 16
ounces of sliver ns equivalent to 1 ounce
of gold, although every ounce of gold is
worth thirty ounces of silver. Here Is
the dishonesty.
It Is as dishonest to make us pay the
mine owners double the value of their
silver as It would be to make us pay the
baker double the market value of bread.
Government cannot establish n value.
No government ever did. Every effort
to force a wlshed-for value upon the
people In the face of a different market
value hns been fruitless, and has ended
In linanelal panic.
Complaint.
"This meteorological life Is killing me,"
groaned the ruin-KUnge In measured
tones.
"What's the mntter now?" asked the
sun dial, moving nearer by degrees.
"I'm always under the weather."

ning the gold watch offered by the prop

who could drink the most beer. He had
275 tickets, representing that number
of glasses of beer." This, he claims,, 1b
an insult upon his good character and
name, ns well ns a most libelous nnd
false stutement. True, ho did win the
watch, a chance on which was offered
to every purchaser of a glass of beer.
Ho possessed the lucky coupon, tlic
number of the same being 46. This be
ing the number drawn from the pile,
and entitled to the watch. He respect
fully extends to the reporter of this de
famatory piece of public ridicule, the
chance of publicly denying this false
accusation.

A GFOHGIA WEDDING.
One of tho Qiiickimt Marringo on
Record W us Solemnized.
In Lowndes county, Georgia, on the
Savannah, Florida and Western rall
i.vay, Is the small village of Ousley.
When I was familiar with that section
(ilfteen years ngo)there were turpen
tine farnjs all through that country, on
which many negroes were employed.
Rev. Dr. F. M. Hunt, who lived one mile
from the station, owned a little farm,
partly devoted to vegetable culture, and
he frequently sold vegetables in small
quantities to the negroeB.
one Saturday afternoon, In Indian
summer there came a negresB, about
thirty years of age, with two ttwenty
ftve pound flour sacks which she wished
tilled with turnips and salad. The sacks
were soon filled and, with one under
each arm, she startd down the road.
She had not gone far beyond the gate
when she met a negro of about 40 years,
in his plain but clean Sunday suit, .who
bowed low and smilingly said:
"Good evenln' Jane. How does you
do? I'se mighty glad to see you. I'se
done got de license, an' I heerd you
wu2 seen comln' out dls way, an' set I
to myBelf, 'Dey's no use waitln' to get
married when ever'thlng's so ready and
handy.' An' so here I Is, Jane.an' here'
de license, and right dere's the preacher.
Now, what's de use er fvaltln'?"
Jane manifested a good deal of sur
prise and embarrassment under this,
and as she stood there with her head
down and her Angers clutching ner
vously at the sacks under her arms, she
replied:
"Lawdle, Mr. Wilder, you knows I
katn't git married dls evenln'. I wus
spectlng to go home an' git ready to
marry tomorrow, an" wus pwlne to
cook a big dinner an' dress up. I jus'
got on de siled dress what I been work
In' all day. You know I can't git mar
ried now."
The negro saw the logic of the situation
was about as strong on her side as It
was on his, so he put on all his suavity
and proceeded.
"I pay, Janle, you knows I been lovln
you mighty nigh ever since my Kelllne
died. I wuz a good husban' to Kelllne,
an" ever-body knows I wus mighty
kind. I loves you, Jane, better'n I ever
has any nigger yet, an' I'se gwlne to be
powerful good to you. I'se got my
wages fur dls whole week right here In
my pocket. Don' you hear dem three
dollars rattle? De preacher say sump'n
like 'No man knows what a day gwlne
to fetch. Sump'n might happen fo' to
morrow, den what you gwlne to do?
Here's de preacher, here's de license,
here's you, an' here's me. Jane, let's
git married."
"Law, Mr. Wilder, you knows I ain't
ready, but If you see so, I'll go wld you.
Humph! Lawd have mercy on my soul!"
Mr. Wilder escorted Jane to the gate
and called for Dr. Hunt. The doctor
soon ascertained what was wanted, and
Invited them Into the yard. Jane put
her two sacks of vegetables on the
ground and leaned them against the
house. The ceremony was soon per
formed and Jane surprised all the little
party who had assembled, by saying
abruptly:
"Marster, won't you take back one er
dose here sacks er greens? I didn't spec
to git married when I got 'em boaf."
The doctor ordered one of the sacks
emptied nnd the money refunded. Jane !
put the other sack of greens under her
right arm and ran her left arm through ;
the right arm of Mr. Wyder, and off i
mey went to enjoy their honeymoon
and greens."
THE USE OF COSMETICS.
Both the Grefn and Roman Indies tried

tils' reign only women of high birth wire

In the middle ages every womin painted

Ovid's poem about rosmetlc was unfor

During the revolution rouge went out of

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Ball Street Review.
New York, July 2?. London did not
take very kindly to the action of the
Populists In Indorsing the nomination
of Mr. Bryan for the presidency, a fact
which was made plainly apparent by
the course of the market for American
securities there. The cables received
from the other side reported a weak and
lower market for our stocks, and. In
addition, the cables contained selling
orders of moderate proportions In one
or two of the International favorites,
chiefly St Paul and Louisville and
Nashville. The reports received In
London relative to the cutting of rates
by the railroads In the south and west
likewise created an unfavorable Impres
sion, and sentiment for the time being
was quite bearish.
London's attitude naturally had an
adverse Influence upon local sentiment,
and the professional traders changed
front and commenced to sell the list
immediately upon the resumption of
dealings. As a result prices for all the
prominent railway and Industrial stocks
declined, the losses from Saturday's fin
al figures In some Instances having been
quite decided. Jersey Central led In
the downward movement, the stock,
which was sold quite freely, falling off
214 points. Sugar, however, was more
liberally dealt with In than any other
property, and the price dropped 1
points. Manhattan came next with a
loss of 1, and there was a revival of
the talk about poor earnings and a re
duction In the dividend rate. St. Paul
receded 114, and Northwest and Chicago
Gas each L, while tho balance of the
market ran off a?l. the Grangers and
International stocks exhibiting the
greatest amount of weakness.

ODD FACTS ABOUT THE SUN.
Big Fifurei Must Be Used in Discuss
in the Fiery Orb.
From the St. Louis Republic.
Sun snot were first observed In the
year 1611.
Sun snots always travel from east to
west across the sun's disk.
The largest sun spot on record was
seen in 1858. It was 143,000 miles
across.
A writer In Nature says that the
temperature of the sun's surface can
not be less than 18,000 degress Fahren
heit. In order that the reader may make
a comparison, I will say that a Bes
semer converter is never heated above
about 3,000 degress.
It is claimed that the sun't rays
put out fire by rarefying the air, caus
ing It to flow more slowly toward the
burning article.

Should the earth, bo accidental
moved within a distance of 140,000 miles
of the sun it would wholly dissolve and
pass away like vapor In less than an
hour. .
The sun la over 860.000 miles in' dia
meter. The earth could be placed on
tho Inside of It, and the moon. 240.000
miles away, could still revolve around
the world, both the earth and the moon
being on the Inside of the great light
giver.
Some astronomers, those who believe
In the "annular," or "ring" theory of
creation, believe that the earth and all
the planets were once a part of the sun,
that the earth Is one of the rings
thrown off by the great luminary, and
that the earth, In turn, threw off a ring
which became the moon.
Amateur Theatricals.
"I will have my revenge!" howled the
villain.
"Yes, air." faltered Cholly Ribbons, who
had forgotten his lines and was trying to
fake. "Er anything; else this evening?"
