The electric railroad will shortly resume the rule of having the cars stop only at street corners and in the middle of blocks. The company tried this when the cars were first started but it was not generally observed and the cars soon stopped wheresoever a passenger hailed one. Now the company intends to en force the rule and is having a number of signs painted with the inscription “Cara stop here” to be placed on the corners and in the middle of blocks on Main street. The signs will be pla'ced on brackets on trolley poles so that they may be read from either up or down the street. J. Howard Van Dyne is paint ing the signs On the side streets the cars stop at any crosswalk. “Dear Fannie,” wrote a summer girl, “don’t conie to this hotel under any con- sidej^atioa. The landlord is the only man here and he is 70 years old and married.” “Dear Jennie,” was the reply, “I won’t. Our landlord is 70, but he is a bachelor.” Attaches of a cheap admission circus like Hunting’s do not occupy en/iable positions. Press Agent Whittier besides attending to the duties of that office is also called on to play iu the.band during the performances each day and also as sist in ocher ways about the show.

O wing to the condition of some streets, wheelmen should be excused for riding on tfce sidewalk. Complaints are made to the Tourist about the lack of accmmodations for water at the Rural Cemetery. The pumps are said to be useless, and the only way water can be obtained by tnose visiting the city of the dead and desiring to wet the flowers on the graves of their departed loved ones, is to walk to the pond located on the far western extremity of the grounds. This con dition of affairs should not be; the matter should be looked after at once. There has been suspended for some time from a i^illar in front of the Porteous residence on Mill street, a sign reading as follows: This Property for Sale. Inquire Within. It is said that the price desired is about $20,000, and that large offers, under that figure, have been refused, A number of houseboats have passed up and down the river this summer. Some of them are said to have been unique affairs. A confirmed old bachelor says that all Pokeeosie single women do not wish to be married, but most of them would like to be asked, at least. Tha Tourist has observed that this city has a large number of boys, who have nearly reached their majority, who give but little if any evidence of ever amount ing to much as useful citizens. They seem to have no other fixed purpose in life except to dress well and do little. ADVENTURE W ITH A MUMMY. The Archeeologist I.ost His Treasure, hut Escaped W ith His Eife. A French archseologist traveling among the Andes in search of knowl edge and specimens had a great desire to explore some caves in the sides of the precipices. They were doubtless ancient tombs and would probably yield him a treasure. He selected a favorable spot, therefore, rigged a sort of chair or seat between two leather cords and engaged two Indians to let him down from the brow of the precipice. “A descent of 300 feet made in this way,” he tells ns, ^^■Ss-extraordinarily long. ’ ’ However, he reached the cave in safe ty, and on forcing a passage into it was rewarded by finding two skulls and a mummy, “ thoroughly dry,” he says, “ and pretty solid. ’’ He passed a string through the eyeholes of the skulls and attached them to his belt. Then he took the mummy in his arms and signaled to the Indians to draw him up. With his heels he defended himself against the jutting rocks, and in a few minutes was almost on an even with the top. The Indians knew nothing about his load. Just then the yellow skull of one of their ancestors appeared before their eyes, and the idiots gave a start of sm*- prise. The Frenchman thought they must have let go the cord. “ It was the affair of a second,” he writes. “ What passes in the brain of a man at such an instant is indescribable. I did not drop a yard, but I experienced all the horror of a man in rapidly fall ing through space. My hands let go the mummy, and while, covered with a cold sweat, I was helped over the edge of the cliff by the Indians, the mummy bounded from rock to rock and landed in bits at the bottom of the chasm. ’ ’ He overwhelmed the Indians with in vective, but to no purpose. Such dead men, they assured him, if distm'bed in their sepulcher, had the habit of kissing the Indians, who perished infallibly un der their deadly breath. One of the two declared that his o^vn father had died in that way. The other assured the Frenchman that at the moment when the head of the mummy showed above the edge of the rocks it opened its mouth. If it had not luckily fallen into the abyss, it would have cursed them forever.—Pittsburg Dispatch. The Indians called Lake Canandaigua fran-a-dar-que, “ chosen spot. ” CiairToyant. M r s .
