Well, well, old folks are for use, not for ornament, in Watei- loo. Saturday decides that vexed ques tion of bonds. Good old Paul was in bonds and our town is so old-faahlnned that I hey must imitate his teachings. But If Ihey are voted we have a house and lot for sale for $25.00. Send in your applications at once. Albany studies over voting $20,000 and they are worth $2,000,000. In the same pro portion Waterloo should vote $300. No tloesare posted calling a meeting to vote $1200, while the debt is $800. The ertra $400 is to paint the house, Breth ren, call a halt; vote enough to pay off the debt and buy a barrel of lime; then whitewash the mammoth lumber pile. Whitewash may not be very tony, but it will be In keeping with the present boom in Waterloo. Waterloo reminds us of our New Year's resolutions, a sort of back number as It were.

One of the most prominent concess ional features of the exposition has been the Wild Animal Arena where Colonel E. Daniel Boone has been giving per formances with lions and other animals, which is saM by those who have seen both to surpass the famous show given by Hagenbeck on the Midway in Chi cago. Boone had an assistant in this work in the person of Carlo Thleman, a bravo, hold tamer of lions, who was only less familiar and less foolhardy, if one may nse that word, than Boone himself, in his associations with these big beasts. Cut, one night last week. Thieman entered the den of the lions to prepare them for their usual appearanca in the Arena, when suddenly the lights went out. Parnell, tho bigfrat of the lions, fearful perhaps of some danger which he could not see, made a savage attack on the keeper. The other lions fell to with him and poor Thieman was at their mercy in a moment. Boone, the master of the beasts, forced his way into the cage with a crowbar, and beat the angry lions back, bnt not nntil Thieman had sustained snch injuries that his death followed on th morrow. It was Thieinan's funeral that fur nished the commentary at the opening of this letter. It was certainly a most impressive scene. Poor Thieman did not have a relative in all this great America, bnt his employer, Boone, was his Warm personal frienl, and all who worked with him admired his courage and his personality. Thus it came about that the funeral of the lion tamer was so notable. It took place in the animal Arena. A section of the great iron cage which shuts off the performing space from that reserved for visitors, had been removed, and through this opening the ooflin was carried. A bier had been made of some of the material which is used for the lions to do their acts noon, and here laid the dead tamer in the midst of a group of his associates, while the solemn burial service was read by a local clergyman. Every seat m the vast arena was occu pied, and there were hundreds who wanted to get in but could not. On the back row of seats, stretching almost around the auditorium were Indians frQm.the Sioux exhibit. Eadi .warrior, was in paint and feathers, but their bows were ungtiung, and all carried themselves with the quiet dignity which always marks an Indian when a cere mony is being performed. Near to these were the Indians from the banks of the Yaqui river, and a delegation from the Esquimau village. Half a dozen of the Turkish dancers had come across the South Drive to mingle with the crowd at the funeral. A company of South Sea Islanders were there, and a quartette of native Hawaiian singers furnished the music for the occasion, singing in their native tongue words set to old, fa miliar hymns. A big Cossack stood down in front with his 6haggy head overtopping all his neighbors. Swarthy Mexicans from the '49 Mining Camp Bat, sombrero in hand, and heads bowed down, and dark-eyed senoritas shed tears of sympathy as they sat among the mourners. It was an interesting com pany of people and such an one as had probably never before assembled on a similar occasion. A band of 50 pieces occupied a posi tion out of sight of the audience and ibs music came to the ears of those present in a some .iat muffled tone. But there were other muffled tones that fell upon the ears of this funeral gathering during the exercises, which were neither su sweet nor so pleasing, but which brought a terrible reminder of what had caused this polyglot assemblage. The i jes of the animals are located under the raised seats of the amphitheatre, and the beasts became restless as the hour for their usual performance passed by and they were not summoned to play their part, The big lion whose paw had dealt the fatal blow to poor Thieman, growled and roared at intervals all during the clergyman's address, and when the music of the band suggested to these knowing creatures that there was a crowd in the Arena, they seemed to unite in a chorus ot protest and disap proval. Strongmen shuddered at the suggestion conveyed by these loud pjoathings, Women shod tears and some of them were so overcome with fear and emotion that they passed hur riedly out of the auditorium, It was a scene that will never be forgotten by those present, Then came a procession through the grounds, A oordon of guards occupied u right of line. Back of them marched the band, playing a funeral mai'ch. Keeping step to this slow rythm walked thelpdians. the Turks, the South Sea Islanders, aud all the representatives of the different concessions, who had turned out to honor the memory of the dead lion tamer. The hearse was cov ered with floral offerings. Hundreds connected with the exposition walked in the long lin that reached from one end of the graad court to the other and thai wound its way between the beautiful industrial palaces, put to the plroe where dust was to be returned to dost. Yet this was but ait incident. The next day the lions roared in the Arena again, and happy crowds of men, women and children rapturously applauded. It was only a drop in the great sea of events on which the California Midwin ter International Exposition is sailing, and it has heen given prominence simply as one of the ohotacteruitio features of THOMAS QOD3EPRAISED.

The register of the OHrard House re cently recorded the arrival in tho oity of Thomas Godbepraised of Barrow-in-Furness, England, Being approached upon the subject of the oddity of his surname, Mr. Oodbepraised said: "Yes, I suppose the name does sound very odd to Americans, although Bueh names are not altogether unusual In England and especially tn Lancashire, which was a stronghold of the Round heads or Puritans in Cromwell's time. My honiels in Barrow-ih-FurnesS. which is in Lancashire. My ancestors prior to Cromwell's time were all royalists. The family name was Elliot. A younger son renounced the religions faith and politi cal opinions of his forefathers and he came a Puritan. As was usual in snch cases he abjured his carnal name of Charles Elliot and took the inspired one of Kzekiel Godbopraised, "There is quite a romance oonnected with this ancestor of mine. Ho fell in love with the only daughter of a Colonel Fielding in tho Cavaliers' army, and not being able to obtain her father's consent to their marriage Ezoklel abducted her and for two years kept her hidden in a dreary house that stood near the little town of Formby, where a son was born, After a battle a littlo to the south of tho River Mersey between the Cavaliers and Roundheads her brothers discovered her and carried her off to old Furness abbey. In the hurry the child was left behind, but as a result of the mother's pleading one of the brothers returned to Formby to get it. i "In the meantime Ezekiel had discov ered his loss and removed the child. Then the followed the brother back to Furness abbey, but arrived too late. The brother and sister had set sail from Bar row beach for the isle of Man. A storm came up, and Ezekiel arrived just in time to see the boat founder. He returned to his child more bitter against the royalists than ever and brought the child up with the same sentiments. "At the close of the war Ezekiel adopt ed Ihe trade of a weaver and settled in Barrow-in-Furness. Thus the name was perpetuated, the stern commands of the father forbidding the son to throw off the fanatical nickname when the heat of Fii ritanical zeal had given away." Phila delphia Times, The Different Laiidom. The size of London is somewhat in definite, but may be said to cover abont a square mile. The postal district covers an area of 250 square miles. The police district extends still farther, covering an area of 667 square miles. On the other hand, the parliamentary London is much narrower. It consists of 10 bor oughs, of which the city of London, al though the smallest having 50,563 in habitants in 1881 is represented by four members on account of its commercial and financial importance, while each of the other nine, although larger, is repre sented only by two; Westminster, 250, 413; Chelsea, 258,011; Marylebone, 477,- 555; Hackney, 3o2,4S7; Finsbury, 488,- 816; Tower Hamlets, 891,558; Lambeth, 879,112; Southwalk, 207,835; Greenwich, 167,632, Put together, these 10 boroughs repre sent only a population of about 8,000,000, and the remainder of the inhabitants of the city belong to nonmetropolitan elec toral districts. Generally, however, the size of the city is determined by the area nnder the operation of the metropolis local government act, which is also adopted by the registrar general of the census. According to the definition, Lon don covers an area of 122 square miles, terming parte of the counties of Middle sex, Surrey and Kent, Baltimore Amer ican. Costly Heals. The costliest meal ever served, as far as history shows, was a supper given by Aelin Verua, one of the most lavish of the latter day Roman aristocrats. The supper was only intended for a dozen persons, yet its cost was 6,000 sestertia, which would amount to 48,000 in Eng lish money, or nearly a quarter of a mil lion dollars. The celebrated feast given by Vitel- lius, a Roman emperor of those degen erate days, to his brother Lucius cost a fraction over $200,0U0. Luetonius says that this banquet consisted of 8,000 dif ferent dishes of fish and 7,000 different fowls, besides other courses in propor tion. Vitellius, fortunately for the world, did not reign very long; other wise the game preserves of Libya, Spain aud Britain would have been exhausted, It may not be out of place to mention here that it js recorded as a curious point of history that a single dish on the table of the Emperor Heliogabnlus was worth $200,000. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Tho Lights Went Out, His royal highness the Prince of Wales was present at a noble lord's once to gether with all fashionable London, and alter dinner tne best musicians, both vocal and instrumental, were preparing to display their talent, when suddenly out went the light, and performers and audience were left in total darkness. As the light was electric and was supplied from a private engine which had chosen tins inopportune moment to go com pletely wrong, there was nothing for the giver of the feast to do but to collect all the available bedroom candlesticks and empty bottles and stick candles all over the pluce. The effect was most comical and seemed to cause amusement to every body but the host, San Frauoisco Argo naut, He Had III Reward. It was in a large department store that a gilded youth drifted up to the candy counter. "Do you kpow," he said to the pretty young woman in eharge, "if J were the proprietor of this establishment I should dismiss you?" "Why'f" she asked indignantly. "In order to give the candy a chance," he answered, And she gave him H pounds of 75 cent saudy for 50 ceuts. Detroit Free Press, SANQ FOR HIS LIFS.

There is a funny story told of how he was once made to Bing against his will. While traveling abroad for pleasure hflcnmointothetownof Warsaw. News WaB brought to the palace of the famous English singer's arrival, and Frederick Augustus, the king of Poland, immedi ately sent word that he dosired Abell to appear before hbn. "Tell his majesty," replied John curt ly, "that it suite mo not." Eack went the court messenger with a wry face. He knew his master's temper too well. "Toll Master Abel," thundered tho king, "that I will have him comet And take you, boy, throe stout follows with you." Tho mosseiiger and the throe stout fol lows between them managed to carry out the royal wish and presently march-' ed triumphantly up to tho palace with their unwilling captive. The king was awaiting thorn fa tho great hall, whero he had seated himself in a balcony that ran all round the sidra. Above hi m an immense chair hung from the roof by a rope. "Now, then,iutothochairaudnpwith him," cried Frederick Augustus, with a ' chuckle. "We'll soon see if our song bird won't sing in his cage. Up with him, my merry men alll" And np in the air Swung Abell, who still refused to open his mouth. When ho gave a glance downward, however, he changed hi3mind. Into the hall beneath" him a number of wild bears had been turned loose. "Sing, sirrahl" the king shouted, "or down you go to play with my brown ba bieB." s One look at those "brown habics," growling and snarling below in a very unbabylike maimer, was sufficient to con vince the stubborn John. Sing he did, and he often used to declare in after days that he never sang so well iu his life as when he was hanging there, a hun dred feet high abovo the fierce boasts. New York Journal. Don't Try to Cheat a Lawyer. A young lawyer, just starting in his profession, hung out his sign in a town where there was only one other lawyer, an aged judge. A close fisted old fellow, thinking to get legal advice for nothing, culled upon the young man and contrived in a sort of neighborly way to get some legal ques tions answered. Then, thanking the young man, he was about to leave, when the yonng man asked for a $5 fee. The old fellow went into a violent passion and Bwore he never would pay. The yonng lawyer told him he would sue him. So the old fellow went down to seethe jndge and said: "That yonng scamp that's just come Into town! Idroppcdin to make a neigh borly call on him, and he charges me $5 for legal advice." "Served you right," said the judge. "But have I got to pay it, judge?" ' "Of course you have." "Well, then," said the man, "I suppose I must," and he started off. "Hold on," said the jndge, "aren't you going to pay me'r" "Pay you? What for?' "For legal advice." "What do you charge?" "Ten dollars," The result was that the old fellow had to pay $5 to the young lawyer and $10 to the old one. Toronto Globe. The Gallery Gods1 Applause, Lawrence Burrett once told me of a conversation he had with Edwin Booth. The latter had been congratulated upon an ovation given him by a crowded house on the opening night of an engage ment, "The sweetest music to my ears," said the great tragedian, "is the. shout ing of the boys in the gallery, I know they are not applauding because I haven reputation or because t-hoy wish to ma!;e a display, They siinnly give vent to their natural enthusiasm. When they shout, I know that I am giving a good performance. As for the parquet, it moy clop its hands cnt of politeness. A dramatic critic who had certain notions as to how a lino should be read will ap plaud if I read it his way; otherwise he will remain quiet. I can never analyze the applause of the front rows, but the gallery is sincere in its likes or dislikes."
