A TexH* lUIUor’s Experience With a Wed ding spd a Tough. Texas Democrat. Curious things happen in a news paper office sometimes. While I was city editor of the Galveston News I had an experience that al most drove me to drink. One night, just as it was time to close the forms, I caught two items which I scratched off hurriedly, the foreman growling meanwhile and passing my stuff out in “takes” as fast as it came from my pencil. One item related to the marriage of a worthy young couple, the other to a nameless tough who had drifted in from Houston, tanked up, wrecked a saloon and tried to clean out the police force. The next day the paper contained something like the following: “At the residence of the bride’s parents on-AvenueH. Miss Cecelia Muggins was united in marriage last evening to John Henry Hug gins, a Houston tough, who blew in on a freight train and at once proceeded to get full of tanglefoot and make himself generally ob noxious.

National Committeeman Josephus Daniels says that in at least 30 counties members were elected by less than 50 majority. —. -♦ — Miss Clara Evans and a mouse, the one a teacher in a Baltimore public school and the other a resi dent of the same building, collided while traversing their respective orbits one day this week, and so startling were the noises which en- eligible to the ! maxe- bia the time of the fusion Mr. Bryan Richard Wil list leader James Hal cratic Fusic of Cor for the Seni has been st mise.

The net gain in gold to-day in New York and San Francisco was $1,034,700. The resources of the Treasury are being severely taxed to meet the demands for paper notes of all de nominations in exchange for gold. In many cases the gold holders ask the United States notes in large denominations in exchange, as the latter are as available for reserve as is the gold, but they express a willingness to accept Sherman notes, or, if necessary, silver cer tificates, if the government is un able to furnish United States notes. The demand for large de nominations is not imperative, the principal thing being to get paper money. Reports from all parts of the country tend to show that nearly all the gold withdrawn within the last several weeks was for the purpose of hoarding, and now that the supposed danger is passed, the gold is being offered at the several sub-treasuries or is be ing deposited in banks and so is finding its way into the govern ment coffers. North Carolina Neuator*hi|i. Raleigh, N. C., Nov. g.—Mr. J. B. Schulken, a Populist member- elect of the Legislature, is here to day. He says that Populists will not vote to return Senator Pritch ard to the Senate because he favors the single gold standard, but will vote for a free silver man. The Republicans lack 18 votes of a majority on joint ballot, and can not elect Pritchard unless they can get Populist help. The Legis lature will stand: Republicans, 68; Populists, 58; Democrats, 43, At least thirty of the Republican and Populist members of the Leg- will meet at the Coluuv suj$ tb&t a panic among the chil- preseut was the result.

Riders of these tires, when they have a puncture, need only be careful to pump as much air as possible into the tire before insert ing the quick-repair tool.
