abduct Wong Ching Foo that he might be sent
back to China to be beheaded.

How science and art are used for
fraudulent purposes is nowhere more remarka-
bic than in the adulteration of silk goods. 1t
is stated that in some of the fabrics but fourth
part of the substance is silk, three-fourths con-
sisting of chemicals and oils, and the compound
| is of so lnfammable character that vessels
have been set on fire by their spontaneous COM
bustion during transportation. So great is the
| danger of fire from this kind of merchandise
that the North German Lloyds Steamship Com
pany has determined to refuse it as freight.

IT pays now above all other times
of the year to take care of the poultry. See

sand for busting baths. Give them green food
of some kind daily. Give them s,rea food-it
matters less what kind than that they get a
variety. This is the way to make winter

THE Riddles, Of Pittsburgh, were
sentenced by Judge Ewing last Friday. George
R., the old gentleman to pay fine Of ct cents
and be confined in the county Jail for one
month; James H.. the son, to pay same fine
and be confined four months in county Jail.
The Judge remarked that he did not believe
that either of the defendants really intended to
commit a fraud because they had promptly,
and without reservation, delivered all of their
property to the bank in order to make amends
as far as possible for the wrong done. In
view of this fact he thought it unnecessary to
impose heavy fine.

THERE is trouble in the German
Lutheran Church at Honesdale, Pa, owing to
charges against the moral character of Rev. +.
A. Hertzberger, who came from Ohio to be
pastor of the church two years ago. The ac- /
cusation is that he is in the habit Of getting |
drunk. In fifteen years the church has had
bad luck with five pastors. The first was dis
missed for being so drunk in the pulpit that he
had to be carried into the street. The second
gave dissatisfaction because he drank in fash
ionable resorts and not in humber saloons.
The third offended because he preached
against drinking at all. The fourth-well,
there was q married woman in that case. And
now it is liquor again.

THE largest sale of stock ever made
in this country was that made by Mr.. William
III. Vanderbilt, to a party of New York and
London capitalists, last Thursday, Of 10000 |
shares of New York Central Il. 4. Stock, at
$123 per share, which makes the sale add up to
dollars. Jay Gould, is at the head of the buy
ing crowd, and by getting control Of the roads
west of Chicago, and the network of small
roads or feeders in Indiana and Illinois, known
as the Wabash lines. they seem to have forced
Vanderbilt to sell to them, as they could have
sylvania Central or Baltimore d Ohio. This
sale gives the Gould crowd control of q COM
plete trans-continental line.

WHEN a railroad company issues
q new time table it is good thing to let all the
employees, especially those who run the trains,
know 1t, because it is liable TO create confusion
by another. An illustration of the truth of
this remark occurred on Connecticut road
lately. About week before, it seems that the
officers of the road issued in quite kind of
way an entirely new schedule for the running
of trains. Some Of the conductors apparently
got wind Of this rather important fact and some
did not, and the consequence was that some
trains were running on the old time aud some
on the new, and thus it happened about
o'clock last Monday that an old-timer freight
and new-timer express tried to pass on the
same track while going at a high rate Of speed.
Singularly enough nobody was killed, though
many were badly injured and large amount
Of railroad property destroyed. 1t is probable,
however, that the accident will cause the news
Of the change of time to spread among the rest
Of the employees, and this will greatly tend to
promote the comfort of passengers.

PETER GoELET died lately. Peter
was worth all the way from 81 100000 to $780,
900, 0,o00-we would be satisfied ourselves with
the lower estimate. He thought great deal
Of his money so much that he never spent
cent when he could save it. We couldn't begin
to tell how much real estate in New York
belonged to him it was q principle Of his life
never to sell an inch Of land once in the pos
session Of the Goelet family. He lived alone
in house on Broadway, New York, just above
Madison Square. The dwelling stood apart in
q large yard in the midst of stores and business
houses, and the Broadway passers used to stop
TO peep through the iron railing at Peter /
Goelefs companions. These were pheasants |
from India, storks from Egypt, Guinea fowls
and rare birds from all over the world. mag
and reigned over the enclosure. In winter |
the COW was housed In barn back Of the |
house, and the birds we're safely sheltered in |
the upper chambers Of the house and fed from |
the hand of Peter Goelet, late millionaire |
poultry fancier now gathered TO his fathers. |
N. B.-When man Is gathered to his fathers, |
his money is gathered to others.
