Among tlio many quaint features of tho
Columbian Exposition will be an Irish vil
lage, truo to life, except that tho grass grown,
lliatchcd roots nro but poorly replaced by
proslac shingles, it is an interesting sight,
but, as possibly might have been expected,
a rival ono has been started across tho way,
and tho prospects for a "rale onld faction
tight" nie extremely good. Close by the
mercurial Hibernians is the village of the
phlegmatic Dutch, the quaint houses, one of
them with n genuine thatch, surmounted with
ourious weather vanes shaped after im
possible bi ids, ilshts nnd rcptilos. Similar
eases of incongruous juxtaposition are on
every hand. Tlio mlld-irannoiul Japanese
are alongside tho buruoosed sons of tho desert
from Tunis and Algiors, and tho bturdy
burghers who are to inhabit tho high, steep
mo (id houses, representing tho old street ii.
Vienna called "Dor Gralren," will have as
their near neighbors tho savage subjects of
His Majesty tho King of Dahomoy. The
German vlllago is nixdo up of tlio houses
peculiar to tho different sections of tin
Empire, and Is near to the narrow, crooked
"street in Cairo," with its mosque, theatn
dancing hall and "holos in tho wall," where
in their quaint goods uro to bo sold.

Lyman B. Holbert, for several years
resident of this town and at various times
connected witli tho Hollopeter and Wasley
drug stores as apothecary, died at St. Paul
Jlinn., on 1' riday last alter sulieriug soim
timo from a liver trouble. Mr. Holbert was
39 years of ago. Tho remains wero scut to
Dauvillo and tlio funeral took plaeo there
to day, being attended by a delegation of the
F. & A. M. from this town. Mr. Holbert left
this town for St. Paul about a year ago with
tho hope that tho change of climnto would
improve his health. For a time tho change
was benotlcial and when met at St. Paul last
summer by tho editor of this paper he seemed
to bo on tho road to recovery, but shortly
after his health took a backward course.
Tho funeral of tho lute Thomas Howard
took placo at St. Clair today. Mossn

years he never partook of intoxicating drinks.

)j ATURDAY was pay day
at the Philadelphia &
Heading Coal &
Iron
Company's collieries in
this district. While tho
town had quitoa livoly
appearance and t li o
diuiuq wciu vuii pa
tronized there was a complaint by tho mer
chants that tho business was not up to tho
usual standard of pay days and patrons com
plained that money was scarce.
Tliero wero but few arrests during tho
night. Tho cases that fell into tho hnnds of
tho police and constables wero drunks or of
such a petty charactor us not to merit pub
lication. Thoro was otic Occurrence during tho night,
howover, that is entitled to special refcrcuce.
It is by no means a trifliugailair to have a cit
izen sandbagged on the main strcctfof tho
town. It is only another evidence of tho
fact that tliero nro desperate , characters in
this town who should bo behind tlio bars of a
jail, and the authorities of the borough can-
not be too vigilant.
Tho victim of tho assault was John Hoff
man, who keips a fiuit stand nt tho southeast
corner of Mum and Centre 9trects. Mr.
Holi'nian closed up the stand shortly before
midnight and staited for his home on West
Line street. As he was going up Main street
and was opposite the High school building he
noticed three men walking down from Line
street. One of the men was in advanco of
tho otheis aud said "goodi ovening" as Mr.
UoiTman iwsscd. Tho latter returned tho
salutu and noticed that tho other men
stopped nt tbo curbstone and faced the
opposite sido of tho street. As Mr. Hoffman
passed them ho received a sluuulug blow on
tho back of tho neck. Tho victim cried for
help and staggered half dazed to the middle
of tho street, where ho fell. Ho retained his
senses and nroso in time to see the three men
run down Main street uud turn tho corner nt
Coal.
Sir. Hoffman ran give no description of
tho men, but is quite sure they wero neither
Poles nor Hungarians. Ho cannot understand
why ho was attacked, unless it was intended
to knock him out and rob him. He believes
that his cry for help and the fact that ho
retained his senses aud staggered ' aw ay from
tlio men thwarted the design, and rather than
follow hlni into tho glare of tho electric
light tho assailants concluded to escape before
a crowd could gather.
Ill la is ono ot tlio boldest crimes com
mitted in tho town for several years. There
is certainly cuuso for apprehonsion when
there arc characters in tho town who will
commit such an act in ono of tne most con
splcuous parts of tho town at au hour on
pay night when many peoplo nro wending
tholr way homo and the scene is brightly
illuminated by cloctric lights.

The sudden prosperity of one of our pros
perous Polish citizens was n subject of com
mont by a group of men last ovening and one
of tho party told how the party in question
recoived his start. A few years ago he be
came acquainted with a Polish widow who
had about $1,000 In cash, proimsod marriage
and was accepted, upon condition that he
deed tho house he owned to tho widow as
security for tho money, which she would
give him after tho marrlago. Papers to that
offset wero drawn up aud tho parties met In a
Justice's office to bind tho bargain, At tho
last moment tho man hesitated and said to
tho Justice, "I no liken for dot. I no like
given mine broberty for dot. It is muoh
more worth." The Justice explained that
tho widow insisted upon somo security.
But sho may not marry after she get the
monoy," was tho noxt objection of the man,
when tho woman took a hand in the game by
saying, "and you may run away with my
money." The man scratched his head for a
moment and then said, "All right, I'll try
her any way." The papers were signed aud
the subsequent events have shown that both
parties intended nnd did act in good faith
toward each other. They have been very
prosperous and tho other day tho man offered
$12,000 for a piece of property iu town.
