I hereby tender most hearty thanks
to and express my appreciation of the

ness, and so assisted and sympathized
with me In laying his remains away
in the silent tomb. Being the only
member of a large but widely sepa-
rated family that could lie with my
father, and upon whom the responsi.
bllitv rested ofea lug for him' In his
old age and final sickness In a oouimu
ntty where, because of our short resi
dence, we might be regarded as stran

we had no speoial claims, such watch
fulness and kind services were all the
more appreciated
While so uiuny have been so kind it
tannines all the more delicate for me
to mention one rather tbau another in
such connection, yet I must say, the
close attention shown by Mr. and Mis.
Hardy and their family lit the Interest
they took in watching and nursing my

passed away, and lln'ii looking after

D. and T. L. Rice departed Monday
for Grunts Pass, to be gone some two

An old time candy-pull and busslng

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. The
citizens are waiting for Carey to come
to get a little credit or work on the
new P. O, he Is going to build (when
his friends get It the office for him).
The Lyceum is on its last legs. Rice,
I he editor and president, resigned. His
paper was run on the style of the Sun
day Mercury and lotne took exceptions
to the style. An item regarding a
young society man, who was accused
of going to supper and leaving his
partuer to dine on meditation in the
cold hall, caused some uneasiness in
that quarter. Now the Church has
taken hold ot the dead concern and
"Cal" will have a job of stuffing on
band in a few wwks. We were chased

The liquor license was raised to $300
for six mouths, Tuesday night. The
idea is 10 take some of t lie cream off

An Incident occurred In connection
with the Midwinter International Eipo
iHion a few days ago whioh furnished an
Interesting commentary on its interna
tional character, and which established
Is an unmistakable manner the fact that
this groat fair follows, In many respects,
the lines laid down by its Illustrious
predecessor on the shores of Lake Michi
gan, and that at the same time, it pos
esses an individuality which will give it
a prominent place in the future history
of the expositions of the world.
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

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

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

It was in a large department store that
a gilded youth drifted up to the candy

"Do you kpow," he said to the pretty

"Why'f" she asked indignantly.

John Ab?U. a celebrated singer and
musician who lived in tho reign of
Charles n, had a very great notion of
himself and would not perform nnless
he pleased. 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

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

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."
