OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Some of these political proph ets can sympathize with Admir al Rojestvensky in his afflictiojn which - results in bis "seein* things at night". New ??York's subway has been completed Just in time, to accom modate the politicians who are ready to crawl into a hole after election day. ??We are entirely satisfied with existing conditions," says ono of the b? **f t rest magnates. Tliat may 1 ?? >M oei u promise t liat meat prices will ttot be advanced again very soon. It is understood t|ia|, in view of the Baltic fleet's error, Secre tary Hort*m will recommend that track walkers be employed for the American Navy. A New York broker has disap peared, leaving assets valued at $7,000and creditors with claims of $50l\ 000 against him. There is a good deal of mystery about his oversight of the $7,000. Tho average spollbiuder is appreciated by his managers for the uumber of things he knows which are not so. Capu Hailien advices state that peace has beeu restored in Santo Domingo, from which wo infer that the government lias corn ered the ammunition supply. The governor of Guam wants a few more school teachers. Those who object to pupils in the Garden of Eden costume need not apply. It would be interesting to know what kiudof a story the Russian peasant has been told abont the victory of the Baltic fleet iu the North Sea. "Samar is iuhabitcd by some half wild" people" says General Luke Wright. Same is true of Western Kansas, according to Prof. Wilcox, of the lowu University. One of the Russian journals says tliat "Admiral Rojestven sky must have lost his head," So did some of the Hull iisliermeu. Craw craw is the name given to the disease which is caused by kissing. Iu a case of tlivt, kind we would suggest tho home opathic treatment ? "like is cur ed by like". Joseph Hell has been arrested and lined for appearing on the streets of New York without a hat. Joseph should understand that New York has been making a fipke^-for Home time against ?'Hell with tho lid off" as Dr. PaTkliurst put it. Russia is very sensitive at times and^ may take some offense at the disposition in England to criticise its explanations. Sixjicty Not oh. The second meeting of tin* Five Hun dred Curd Club took place from four to ?ix o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. William Ancrum being the presiding genius. Dainty invitations bade a few outsid friends to enter tlie mystic circle and four tables were prepared for tlie ployers. Tlie game of Five Hundred is one of the fascinnting forms of cards and requires skill and watchfulness and a certain amount of deliberation, thereby well befitting tin* redoubtable matrons to engaged.

The box supper at Sandy Grove church on Oct. 29th, was a success. The amount raised was JK25.25. I think the supper was enjoyed by all present. Oh yes! Mr. Pete. 1 will give yon an answer from Sandy Grove to your most interesting piece which was in The People week before last. I am very sorry that you and your intimates were so distrusted at the box supper at Bandy Grove on Sat. night Oct. 20th. Thero ? is ono thing I agrco with yon about and tluit is taking the church for sport aud amusement being wrong but I think we have as nice young ladios in my community us there is in yours. I hojje that the next time you write that you will not bring the young ladies and boys of Sandy irrovo in your correspondence as I think there are just as nice youug ladies in our community as jmy where. You look around and see if you were not a little two fjist in your piece. Think what young men were at the supper, see if any of Sandy Grove's young men were drunk. I think then you will understand things better. I will stop on this subject by giv ing you all an invitatian to anj other supper which will be in this community. You will see it announced in this week's People. Come again Pete, .your letter was very much appreciated. Reporter. Tailoring! Tailoring!

Carnival weelc marked a red letter occasion for both our white and colored population but we thinlc it was enjoyed merely to its utmost by our two characters, Sam and Jake. Their crops having.been almost all gathered, Jake having paid out his lien with Mas' Charlie, and both having money in their pockets, they came over in force to take in all the fun going. Jake had de ol'-'oman and dat onerny boy, and his other ten children, ana Sam showed up with Mahaley. the one in his new suit, aud the other resplendent in the new dress that Sam had bought for her. The whole family liati a huge time but after an hour or so, Sam became restless aud manag ing to slip away from Mahaloy struck a bee line for Dr. Lang's popular pharmacy. He h itii'il t forgotten Jake's set-up on circus dav and wanted to get even. Returning to the mid-way, he succeeded after a little finessing in getting the entire bunch of coons on the merry- go round with the exception of Jake to whom ho had tipped a wink. The two then took a walk, and knowing that their time was limited put in several minutes of it in short order in discssing with uplifted faco the merits of "Peaceful Valley," the Doctor's supply of "Crum," their favorite being exhausted. Feeling greatly refreshed the twain wended their way back to the ground and Jake retliated on Sum by taking him to the Snake show. Neither coon knew what he was going to see, but pretty soon, "Peaceful Val ley" ceased to be peaceful, and a rebellious feeling in tlio ab dominal region caused both to beat a hasty retreat to the friendly shelter of Springs and Shannon's ware house when after a time everything again became quiet. Sam and Jake has seen snakes and snakes be fore, but they had never seen a woman chaw one up, and it up set them. Their conversation on the sub ject was long, earnest and laughable, but we haven't the space to give kt this week. We will conclude by saying that the entire party thoroughly eujoy ed the day, the only unpleasant feature ot it being that Mahaley fainted 011 witnessing the high dive, Jake's ol' 'oman having a time in bringing her 'round. 1 _ _ __ inn vnrMI<>?, lT. s? iT/irnnS nmzii. nun.
