The Award of Prizes at the Philadel- phia Snengerfest Was Announc- ed Last Evening. The first prize in the first-class of the city federition, the handsome bust of Mo- ; zart,which has stocd on the city hall plaza, Philadelphia, for a week, was awarded to Brooklyn, their percentage of excellence being 143% points out of a possible 150. This is the highest percentage, according to the officials, that has ever been obtained by any city in the history of the organiza- tfon. As the announcement was made, trumpets blared forth and a mighty shout of approbation and congratulation went up from the multitude. This prize was won three years ago at the last Saengerfest, held in New York, by Philadelphia, but owing to the prescnce of the organization in that city this year, the local societies, according te custom, courtecusly refrained from participation in the contests, The other awards were as follows: See- ond class, City Federation, first prize, Hud- son county, N.

From the Chicago Post. “Ar-re ye goin’ to cillybrate th’ queen's jubilee?” asked Mr. Dooley. What's that demanded Mr. Hennessy, with a violent start. “Today,” said Mr. Dooley, “her gracicus majesty Victorya, queen iv Great Britain an’ that part iv Ireland north iv Siigo, has. reigned f’r sixty long an’ tiresome year: “I don’t care if she has snowed f'r sixty years,” said Mr. Hennessy. “I'll not cilly- brate it. She may be a good woman f'r ail I know, but dam her pollytics.” “Ye needn’t be pro-fane about it,” said Mr. Dooley. “I on'y ast ye a civil question. F’r mesilf I have no feelin’ on th’ subject. I am not with th’ queen an’ I’m not again her. I'm rejoiced to see me frinds Jawn KR. Walsh an’ J. V.

Atkinson of West Virginia was married to Mrs. Myra H. Camden at Clarksburg last night. Mrs. Camden fs the widow of the wealthy Judge G. D: Camden, The ceremony took place in the presence of only a few immediate friends. It had been announced that the ceremony was to ta place today. Mrs. Camden, the bride, inherited a large fortune from Judge Camden, who has beer dead several years, the title to which es- tate has been contested by other heirs. The will, which was protested, was de- clared valid by the courts, but recently the matter has been revived by th harge that the widow signed certain papers ille- gally. The wedding last night grew out of the governor's desire to give his fiancee a ’and’s protection in the new leg#! com- ations. The governor and his bride left tor this and other eastern cities, and wiil end their tour in Loufsville, Ky., where he has un engagement to deliver an address. —_— TEN STORIES AND LIVES. An Office Cat Leaps From the Elev- enth Floor, but Will Recover. From the Chicago Journal.

Wildest excitement prevailed when the men who witnessed the desperate deed called to the rest. Editors, reporters and messengers crowded to the windows and looked where the little form lay quivering below. The managing editor was the first to the relief. Making his way with much difficulty to the roof he raised the limp figure in his arms. There was a moment of great anxiety; then a shout went up from those waiting above, for a loud “meow!” proved that the would-be suicide still lived. “Boozer,” the office cat who performed the remarkable feat, entered the service of the Journal less than two weeks ago and has to all appearances been contented and happy in her new surroundings. Five minutes had not elapsed between the time that she fell and the moment that kind hands carried her to the editorial rooms, and a physician was summoned. ‘To the amazement of every one who saw her fall the distance of 150 feet her injuries were found to be slight, and Dr. J. J. Mc- Donald says the chances for her recovery are good, and that unless he is very much mistaken the cat will be on duty again in a week. —o-—____ He Had Heard of Her. Frem the Chicago Times-Herald. Another tale was told of an all-around club woman of comely countenance, once the possessor cf a red cloth gown. One day during the world’s fair, when the gorgeous hue wes not as popular as this season, and consequently more conspicuous, this piece of scarlet apparel was worn downtown on a shopping expedition. As is usual :n State sireet excursions of the fair sex, the culml- nating point was the seductive soda foun- tain. It happened that into the drug store where the aforesaid woman in bright habdil- iments was enjoying a soft summer drink there sauntered a gaunt, backwoods far- mer with queer-cut whiskers and an unso- phisticated satchel. The stranger desired direction to a north side address, and the obliging clerk gave it with profuse explana- tion. The newcomer, however, was con- siderably confused with bis initiation into the modus metropolitan, and no amount of minute information could clear his befud- dled brain. “I Mve on the north side,” finally inter- ceded the woman in scarlet cloth, with a smile. “If you will take this car on the corner I shall be glad to tell you when to get off.” The wayfaring man, though a fool, did not intend to err therein. Not for a min- ute. One suspicious look he gave at the red apparel and one searching look at the encouraging countenance of its fair wearer. With a frantic plunge for his ofl-cloth va- lise and a wild break through the side door, he stopped one solitary instant to fling back a parting expletive that was half a prayer. “Oh, Lord,” was the escaping exclama- tion, “the scarlet woman!” +o +—____ Phenomenon of Sheet Lightning. From Lloyd's Weekly. Sheet lightning is said to be more fre- quent in Madras than in any part of the world. There it may semetimes be seen every evening for months together. It has been suggested that the effect is due to the reflection of distant lightning, but it has been ascertained that it consists of an ac- tual discharge of electricity from cloud to cioud, or between two portions of the same cloud, and takes place ir tHe upper portio:, of low-lying clouds. The time of the bc. currence depends on when the sea breeze sets in, the lightning taking place about three hours later.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. An opinion has been handed down by the appellate court of the fourth district of Illinois deciding a matter of importance to all raflroad companies and their employes. The court holds that railroad companies are compelled to give their employes who are discharged without sufficient cause clearance cards or fetters of recommenda- tion where their character and recdrd of service warrant the same. The case is that of the Clexeland, Cin- cinnatl, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad Company, appellant, agt. Charles Jenkins, appellee; appeal fram Wabash county. The facts in the case, as disclosed by the rec- crds, are in substange.as follows: Jenkins, the appellee, was for ,a number of years a freight conductor,@n ‘@ppellant’s road. He was discharged by the,company, which re- fused to give hing aj,jetter of clearance, which is practically.q-jetter of recommen- dation, and becauge @f this fact he was unable to secure; epyployment on other roads, as the custgm jwas to demand these letters of clearaupe from applicants for positions when the ppevlicents had been formerly in the employ of other roads. Jenkins brought action agairjst the com- pany alleging that it was the duty of the company to sranchin letier of clearance. The company claimed it was not compelled to grant such lettgrs, and could withhold them if it chose. The court bel foypd for Jenkins, and es for his loss of em- ployment. ‘From tae decision th joymen: m yn the company appealed, but the appellate court affirmed the finding of the court below, holding that as it Is the general custom among railroad companies to grant and demand these let- ters of clearance, there is an implied pro- vision in the contracts between them and their emplbyes, although no expressed pro- vision be made therein concerning the mat- ter, to grant their employes letters of rec- ommendation for the purpose of enabling them to secure employment elsewhere. ‘This is, so far as known, the first finding of an Illinois higher court upon this spe- cific question, and will be of considerable j interest to railroad companies and those whom they employ, A Minneapolis genealogist reckons four billions of Dessenaiterneen ‘Wilttazn the C. nquerer and one of his descendants now living.

Some of those who have been regarded as the most intimate friends of Mr. Clemens are greatly puzzled by the continued talk about his poverty. More of bis friends would be very glad to swap incomes with him today. Let it be under- stood, once for all, then, that “Mark Twain” is neither actually poor nor in dis- tress, nor is it conceivable that he pro- peses to accept a dollar of gift money frcm arybody. It is true that he is somewhat burdened with debt, and it is also true that the amount he fs likely to receive from the proceeds of his forthcoming work to be published by the American Publishing Company of this city will more Than lMqui- date his entire indebtedness. Meantime he is in receipt (through his wife) of the in- come from the sale of his twenty or more copyrighted works, amounting to several thousand dollars a year. He has an offer of a very large sum for a lecture tour in this country. His wife is possessed of con- siderable property, including two or three handsome residences. They are traveling in Europe with two or three servants at the present time. —~+ e+ —____ Cowboys of the Asphalt. From the New York Sun. ‘The cowboy and other dashing plains riders lean far over in their saddles and pick up, as they go dashing past, articles that they have dropped upon the ground. So does the dashing bicycle rider of the city. Not on the Boulevard, perhaps, where the crowds would scarcely permit, but on some quiet, asphalt-paved block. ‘There you may see a skillful and daring rider cast his cap upon the ground, and then you may see him as he sweeps past it on his wheel bend over and pick it up with- out pausing in his flight. This before a small but appreciative audience of friends and neighbors sitting on the doorsteps, and such passers-by as may happen that way.
