Tho Light was Informed to-day that Mrs
Mason tho wHo of the proprietor of a lodging
house on Dwyor avenue about half a block
south of Main plaza had eloped with a hack
driver. Ills namo was not mentioned. A ro-
innl in tlm lndir tnr bouse 'Ilireofttt

longed for some time but nothing further of
interest was elicited. Search was Instituted
for .Mr. Mason but ho was not found. It 3

pounds. Her husband is under tho average
size has n milk and water complexion bluo
eyes and u spin so growth of beard on his chin.

Message of tho Mexican President.
The Proildcnt of the llcpubllo of Mexico has
sent n messago to tho Moxlciiii Congress In the
course of which ho saj s development of all tho
National Industries has steadily Increased and
asserts ho l contldent tt-o proserlty of the llc-
publlo will remain uninterrupted. He states
that tho postal reform uitborlzed by Congress
will no introduced soon ivnen mo piopcr
time lins arrived ho will nresent n commercial
treaty with the L'nltod States to tho Senate for
lMltlcntlou. Ho oxplalns the falling olf of 1m-
poitatlous thus: when the Central and Na-
tional railroads commenced construction they
drow all their mimoy f mm nhroad. Since they
have completed long sections of tho line their
tralllo receipts with government subventions
have diminished their need of foreign money.
The sudden Introduction ot largo amounts "i
lorelgn money lowered discounts and facili-
tated business. Slnci these enmnaiiles have
eased druwlng all their money from abroad
money has become scarcer and Interest on
samo Increased ; consequently orders for for-
eign goods havo slightly docreiised.
'lite County Doctor's Olllco.
Ill appropriating tho apartments of the new
Court Houso to tho various county olllccrs one
was allotted to the County Physlciitn. It wus
a neat room nicely carpeted and furnished
with a handsome circular desk. Above tho
loir on tho outside was the sign "Doctor"
mid the whole wus 111 keeping with the pro
fessional dignity of the olllco. Dr. H. I.. 0 raves
tcemod to rcallzo that dignity to tho full ex
tent and purchased a new suit of clothes to bo
In keiiiilmr with tho olllee. Hut Mr. Commis
sioner llraden objected to tho doctor having
an oillce and. It Is said without any nuthoritr
irotn ins leuow i;onimisionors. no
had tho sign removed and allotted
the olllco to County Treasurer
Lacoste who has also another olllco adjoining.
Til h led to some words between tho venerable
doctor and energetic commissioner In which
tho lormer declared that ho had his opinion or
thoso who ucted In tho way tho commissioners
had done and would not take possession or the
oillce until the County Commissioners asked
him to do so then ho would tako off his hat
tay "Thank you gentlemen" and go In. Tho
lvn Ims since been replaced and it Is under-
stood that tho doctor Is to havo his ulllco.
Dr. Graves was formally Installed in his now

Marrying Counts.
From tho Philadelphia News.
Five Counts are running tobacco stores
and ale houses in London. How they ac
cumulated energy enough to do anything for
a living is a mystery but perhaps they nave
American wives.
Cupid In Politics.
From the I'hlludephia Times.
N iw that some of the Democrats of Rhode
Islai.d have indorsed Sprague for governor it
it to be inferred that love and marriage have
n great deal tn do wttlt political prelerment.
Ex-Senator Davis may look forward to the
next Presidential campaign with renewed
hope.
Nuvlgatlng tlio Air.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that if Mr.
John VV. U' okwalter has to years of life left
him he will startle the world by his solution
of the problem ol navigating the air. "lie
U now traveling round the world not onlv lo
recuperate his health but to broaden his views
and to try and ond in the old centres ol civili-
zation seme ideas that may aid him in his
great task."
Dogs With Natural Handles.
A Cincinnati milliner who had jnst returned
from Paris was asked what was the strangest
fashi" nable novelty that she had seen. "A
doc with a natural handle" she replied.
"I he Parisian ladies are wild on dogs for
pets. The brute is led by a siting and grabbed
up at each crossing to be carried over the
pavement. When sfinggy dogs were in vegue
the habit was to pick them up by the hair and
they were trained not to yelp Pugs as
smooth as new born pigs are now the favorites
and of course they have no hair to be li ted
by. But a clever surgeon cut the end from a
little dog's tail made an incision in the middle
ol his back stuk tn tne tan tip let It heal
fast and there was as bandy a handle as could
bs wished lor.
