A story Is going th3 rounds that
should be final and conclusive as
against too rigid enforcement of the
Sunday laws. It rnns like this:
In Sydney, a town of 500, 000 Inhab
itants, one can get nothing to eat on a
Sunday. Ceruin restaurants supply
food surreptitiously, but the whole time
the quests are in danger of being ar
rested. Once an Italian was in such a
restaurant on Sunday, when suddenly'
the police entered. The Italian was
promptly pushed by the proprietor into
a room where a waitress happend to be
standing in negligee. Kven this room
the police invaded, but the waitress
saved the situation by declaring the
young man was her fiance. The young
man, by the way, had been married
some time. He thought he had deceiv
ed the policeman, out as a matter of
fact, he had got out of the frying pan
into the fire. One Ado day the waitress
called him before the courts and
claimed ?500 for breach of promise.
The Italian had to pay and then came
the worst of all. His wife sued for a
divorce, and shortly after married
another man.

An expedition similar to those early
exploratory voyages to Alaska financed
by the rich Russian merchant expedi
tions which resulted in the discovery of
the resources of Alaska and the founda
tion of Russian colonies there, has
reached Attu, in the Aleutian islands
from Siberia.
A letter from L'naiaska tells of the
arrival of a schooner carrying one of
the best equipped scientific expeditions
that has worked in the north Pacific.
The schooner, which set out from
Vladivostok in April last and has visit,
ed Kamchatka and the Kurile islands,
carries eighteen scientists, whose ex
penses of uearly $100,000 are being paid
by M. Riabushinsky, a millionaire mer
chant of Moscow. The expedition con
tains a celebrated Russian ethnograph
ist, who is making a special study of]
the natives of Kamchatka and of the
Aleutian and Kurile islands. There is
also a meterologist, who established
three stations in Kamchatka and who
proposes to establish others in theAleu
tian group. There are also expert bot
anists, geographers, zoologists and geo

Major Strong begins the second vol
ume of the Katalla Herald with the an
nouncement that the anxiety felt as to
the future of that paper is unwarranted
since he intends to stand by Katalla
and continue its publication. Fruition
may not arrive at that harborless town
as soon as was hoped and is desired but
the wealth of eoal and oil known to be
buried in the earth immediately con
tiguous must ultimately bring wealth
to all who stay with the town. Ele in
tends to practice the doctrine he
preaches. That's the stulT, major, aud
la certain to win.

In stuffing the Cordova ballot oox full

do not know whether Mr. Heney acted
for "the Guggenheim;*" or upon his

We are inclined to the latter opinion.?

Chicago, Sept. 8? A great concourse
of people, principally laboring uieu,
listened to W. J. Br) au last evening.
His text wan the Injunction planks Id

time in pointing out the illlTerence
which be construed favorable to the
democratic platform and party, lie
said that the greatest problem of the

the proceeds of toil, to make a fair di
vision of the result of enterprise,
endeavor and labor between the cap

ranks. A great parade of laboring
men was held earlier in the day and
the Bryan meeting rounded out the cel

SWEET SIMPLICITY.
We read of sweet simplicity
As though wo must bo bound
To worship or at least admire
Wherever It was found
The shy and timid country maid,
9unbonneted In pink.
The subject well may typify
We have been led to think.
Tho frock of modest calico.
Well washed, but trim and neat.
8hoes? Maybe, but It's best to have
Just bare and dew washed feet.
Pink cheeks nn<l merry, laughing eyes.
Two dimples Just In place.
Who'd ravo o'er sweet simplicity
Without a pretty fnee?
You've read about this lovely lass
In many story books.
And. truly, she Is all the coin
Whichever way she looks.
But do not ever think she docs
Not know It all the while
And that she did not tlx her hair
To fit tho simple style.
Yes, sho Is on as largo as life
Or as a ton of hay.
She tlgures she can catch a man
Much easier that way.
And If she corners ono with wealth
Then In a Paris gown
She'll bid simplicity goodby
And dress like folks In town.
