Tit Bits. One of Poes Experiences. Poe, one night during those last weeks he spent in Richmond, related this personal experience, adding that he would carry it with him to the grave. I was living in Pblladelphla during the epidemic of the cholera there. All day I would pace the streets, seeing the dying and dead, until my heart was taint and sick within me. Late-onevening, on coming home after one of these aimless wanderings, broken down, and with a thousand pictures of suffering and death dancing hideously before my eyes. I lay upon the bfed. In a moment I was asleep and streamed that a black bird like a raven came into the room and perched over5 the door. I asked what It was. The bird replied; . 'I am the spirit of the cholera, and yon are the cause of me! "I woke with a start, but the apparition was so real that it made an impression on me I shall never forget e' . The Lamp, .

Industrial Barbarism. Progress day by day teaches us how barbarous are some of our Industrial methods, says the Lancet What can be more hideous to the sight than a forest of factory chimneys, and after all, the chimney Is mans simple but clumsy design for the creation of a draft and the landscape must be marred because the manufacturer wants an abundant supply of oxygen to feed his furnace fires. There is some hope, however, that the factory chimney may soon give way In favor of a system of forced draft. Already destructors, which have hitherto sadly disfigured many a picturesque spot on account of their ngly chimney shaft are being constructed without s chimney. A simple method of forced draft replaces the function of the of tensive shaft end mot onty Is It more effectual for purposes of combustion, but it reduces the immense cost entailed In Constructing a chimney stack 100 feet or so high. , " 1 i Easterner who won open chees tournament at 8L Louis. - --rPauw on Sheppard field by 45 to 0. record ofs the present season 'to' tho The Booster team was outweighed fif credit of a green pacer 1:04X1 JJq teen pounds to the mao and was un- Was second in the ilch TendAsee able to hold McCormacks men. t stakes at tho recent fall' meeting at - Jxwr f&jsaszz Veteran catcher of Boston Amtrican s leagues who announces retirement from game. by many of bis friends, who provided Toledo to hear the umpire a band, plenty of red fire, a namber of say many expects times next year; Battery carriages and a reception in Concordia for Toledo, Clark and Clark.
