The word balloon moans "a large j ball." To Mrtintgolfier of Annonay, j France, the invention of the balloon , is credited. It is said that he was led to turn his attention to balloon making from the following incident. ( A French laundress, wishing to drv a petticoat quickly, placed it on a basket. work frame over a stove. To prevent the heat from escaping by the ' opening at the top of the petticoat she ( drew the belt strings closely togethei * and tied them. Gradually the garment 1 dried and became lighter, and as the stove, continued to give out heat an. rarefy the air concentrated under the , basket work frame the petticoat began to move and finally rose in tho air. Thin so astonished the laundress that she ran to her neighbors and asked thorn to come and witness the strange sight. Monlgolficr was among 1 those that came in. The petticoat 1 suspended in midair suggested great or things to him, and he returned I home with "something to think 1 about." He at once bogan studying vorks on different kinds of atmosphere, and 'the invention of the hal ( 'oon was the result. s ( NEWBERRY POLICE SYSTEM Movement of People There Noted Officers. Neubeuy has a police system, lousth (ho people of thai ,|? , . of' H'O Columbia' Idea uniunjf a force. Some time ago a'ei 10,1 town was of ward bill and the "jumper" was st ? board u for Columbia. 'I ingestion that the Columbia nol orce be called on to make the hit van received with indifference. 'I )eople in Newberry do not think 1111: t the system there. A C-duml ivi'an was telephoned about the m er and he at once can-lit the strain ind collected the board bill. ; It is said that the Newoerrv ch , ,)ol,(,? ''eqHircs the policeman My at the depot to secure, as far msible, the name of every citiz ettin^ on or off the train. He, ourse, makes allowances for a gr'o ?g town and believes that there ti 1,0ny not known to the officer but Iocs believe that every express sbi nent of whiskey into Newber hould be noted. This requirement was called to t it tent ion of a Columbia alderm esterday and the alderman offer ? WW ""it, with the exception he officers on Main street, not a si le patrolman had been instructed ct the names of all residents on I cat. Chairman Otis of the poli oinmission said in his report, reco iiending that patrolmen be continn n beats, that each man employed he force was supposed l<> study t a bits and life of every resident.

Cannon, of Illinois, who is i, the guest of Congressman Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania on a cruise through the Thousand Islands on Mr. ^ "Sibley's yacht, is quoted by the Alexv andria Hay correspondent of The Herald as saying in an interview, in ^ reply to questions regarding his pos.e_; sible candidacy for the presidency: as "'Am I a candidate for the Repub(js lican nomination for president? No, 1 a_ have not the bee, personally. Would I accept the nomination? No citizen ,y has evi'r declined it or ever will. 1 jie would rather contribute to making the IU, i next session of congress a success, so that my party will deserve and win success in 1H0S, than have the presidency tendered to me on a golden salver. "Now. I want to make this point: It' congress does not act wisely at the I next session: if it is not actuated by I aalmness and patriotism; if it makes j great mistakes and fails to meet the i approval of the reasoning American j public, there will not he much need for the election of delegates to the next national convention of the Hepublican party. i "The ureal masses are not talking i politics now." continued the speaker. "They are busy. Their ambition is to see that nothing is done to make them idle. This country is very prosperous. It would be a crime if congress should do anything at this time to upset business, and it might make mistakes in half dozen ways." ,ts Unconscious of Fame. a Geotge Grote, the famous author lj'e of the "History of Greece," long the [ty standard on that subject, was a man ai. of great simplicity and was wholly l)V unconscious of his own celebrity. ' Several anecdotes, illustrative of this fact are given in "Some Famous Women of Wit and Beauty," one of j10 whom is Mrs. Grote.. on While Mr. Grote was walking in (l> the ark he would perhaps notice that ,re one or two persons looked at him n._ with some attention. He would at once turn to his wife in alarm, ky "Have I got any dirt on my face, n'(j Harriet ? Is there anything the matter with my hint?" and he would clutch his headgear with both '.a* hands. l^~ "Why are those people looking at C: me?" Mrs. Grote's proud answer was, 1 " "Because you are George Grote, oy that's all."' Once when he was on n visit to n? Cambridge, Grote wished to see the y- professor of natural history, but was *n told that the professor was so busy ? dissecting something that lie could n(* not be interrupted, "strong magnifyimr power, powerful light, shirt sleev "jes up, cannot be bothered with anya.v body." The modest historian would have retired, but his wife persisted 1VC that it was Mr. Grote who wished to see the professor. 'h- "What?" he .cried. "Mr. Grote? ),n Give me my coat. I must wash my -x* hands." In a minute h^ had trans1 formed himself and would not let t.V. | them go for two hours, no n. FOR SALE.
