his head and the powder burning tho side Of
his face, Disinterested parties claim that
McKinny did no shooting, but that the par

HE Bought II to Beat It,"

Chicago Times Jan, 20.
The sale of tho Missouri, Kansas Il Texas
railroad 10 the Gould clique was tho subject
of an interview between Times reporter
and an official of the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy railroad on last evening, The official
said, In substance, that the Missouri, Kansas
Il Texas had been projected through TO thePa-
ciAc coast. The carrying out Of such pro-
ject would interfere with the project known
as the Texas Pacific. Gould Is ut tho head of
the syndicate which has this latter enterprise
in charge, He has, therefore, bought the
control of the Missouri Kansas Il Texas, not
that he cared SO much to ownt, but simply
to hold il in check until tho Texas Pacific
can be built, and then make II
petitor. This official stated, further, that the
traffic contract existing between tho Chicago,
Burlington a. Quincy and the Missouri, Ran
sas& Texas may be terminated any day, and
that hereafter his company would probably
give most Of ite business to the 81. Louis and
Iron Mountain railroad.
In this connection it may DO well to mention
a rumor that President Perkins and the direc-
tors of the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy
are now negotiating for tho Kansas, Fort
Scott q Gulf road. This line is doing y
profitable business The rumor is mentioned
for what 1t is worth.

VaSeline.

A new product made from petroleum
is jelly called "Vaseline," which is of
the greatest utility in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its great
value In the treatment of wounds, burns.
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where remedy is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
now In constant use, and is acknowl-
edged not only to be the best treatment,
but also one Of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up in bottles by the Cheesbrough Man
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as a
family remedy it is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior TO those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
is almost magical. AS an emolient,
Vaseline is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve
and restore to the complexion the hues
vi yOulll, HdhIuR INC Cu6eh ilh6 FelN6t
and the skin like satin. The complex
ion powders in common use, are, as
rule, I'M curious to the skin and destruct-
i've of any complexion, while Vaseline
is entirely healthful and beneficial.
There is also made "Pomade Vasel-
ine," which is said to be of great benefit
to the hair, keeping it soft and glossy,
preventing and curing dandrutf, and
keeping the scalp healthful and free
from disease, and from those objection
able creatures which sometimes find
dwelling there. Numberless instances
are cited of how by the use of this po-
made thin and failing hair has resumed
a vigorous growth. Both the pure Vas
cline and the pomade are put up in
twenty-five cent bottles and are to be
found at all first class druggists, and we
advise our readers to make trial of
this wonderful substance, and we think
they will find its claims to merit not in
the least exaggerated.

Typhoid Fever.

Typhoid.fever is, of all diseases, pre-.
eminently filth disease, traceable with
as much certainty as fire from smoke
Wherever it exists it points unequivocal

therefore, altogether and wholly pre-.
ventable by proper sanitary measures
Notwithstanding, during the census year
1870, there were, in the United States
%, 1S7 preventable deaths from typhoid.
fever. But, had there been the same
ratio to :ne total population of the Unit,
ed States as in Philadelphia during the
Centennial year, the mortality from
this cause would have been over 81 900.
And this was far from being all, as re-
CARDS Philadelphia. All over the coun,
try fatal cases oftyphoid-fever, and 9th
er diseases nearly allied to it, were at
tributablc to the Centennial visitation,-
the neglected drainage, criminal in
sufficiency Of water closets and bad
plumbing. These conditions so preem-
inently manifest at the Centennial, and
apparently to an extraordinary degree
in Philadelphia even yet, as Judged by
the prevalence of typhoid-fever, are
Of all cases OF mortality, the most GRIM
inal, because the most easily prevent
ed. Universal experience attests that
water-closets inadequately provided
with means for speedy and
complete cleansing and aeration are
prolific sources for typhoid-fever and
kindred affections in all temperate lati-
tudes, and with prevailing high tenn per-
ature and moisture, of the still more
deadly disease, yellow-fever. The ex-
istence oftyphoid-fever or allied diseases
in any place is prima-facie evidence OF
filthy neutrality-suspicious..

Esther had acted in good faith. She
had considered herself the injured party,
and now, with her eyes opened to the
truth, she was sincere in her penitence
as she had been firm in her first resolu-
ton.
The carriage was ordered, and Esther
for once shaken from her cool complac-
ency, accompanied Mr.. Reynolds to
Lucy's door. 1t stood open, and, mo-
tioning her companion to the parlor, she
went straight to Lucy's room. She
tapped.
Lucy's voice said: "Come."
She opened the door and remained
standing on the threshold. Lucy rose
to her feet in silent surprise. Esther
ran swiftly towards her, and, throwing
herself upon her knees. grasped her
hands convulsively.
"Forgive me, Lucy! have wronged
you. For Harry's sake, forgive mel"
Lucy remained silent.
Just then little Hal rushed joyously
into the house, and, as in good old
times, went straight to Lucy's room,
and paused in childish surprise when he
saw his mother at Lucy's feet.
Lucy turned and met his eyes. Of a
sudden, resentment died out of her
heart and love and pity swept all basel
emotions away.
Yes Esther. I do forgive and will
try to forget. Come here little Hal: you
have your fathers eyes! Bless the little
darling, has he forgotten Aunt Lucy?'
If to be almost crushed by the violence
Of the embrace he gave her was an an
swer, she was fully satisfied.
Lucy is now Mrs. Vincent Reynolds

A Learned Cat and a Wise Hen,
Portsmouth IN. H.) Chronicle.

Mrs. Augustus W. Brooks, of East
Eliot, Me-, has Tor did have about a
year ago. a cat Is years old, which she
brought from Boston and for which she
has been vainly offered $50. This learn
ed pussy will stand up at the word Of
command, bow slowly or quickly as
directed, walk around the room on her
hind legs only, dance, turn somersaults,
60 through the motions of holding a
jewsharp to her mouth with one paw
and playing on it with the other, NEW
when ordered to speak, kiss her paw to
visitors, hold saucer of milk on her
fore legs and lap the milk and stand on
ner hind feet an1 with her fore paws
catch bits Of bread or meat thrown to
her, like baseball player. Her kit
ten year old, will turn somersaults.
The same lady has hen which always
wipes her feet on the mat before enter
ing the house, and if asked "How do
you get your living, biddy?' will scratch
on the floor and look to see if she has
scratched out anything. and then look
at the questioner to see if the answer
is correct; this hen despises the wooden,
chalk and porcelain cheats, which some
people palm off on hens for nest eggs,
tumbllng them out of her nest as often
as they are put in. A rooster will also
scratch the floor when asked how he
gets his living, but he cannot be made
to wipe his feet.

G0uld's Next Game.
Chicago Tribune.

For several days past the managers of
the Atchison' Topeka & Santa Fe rail
load have been holding a conference
with Jay Gould and the principal mem
bers OF his syndicate. No reliable in
formation regarding the object of these
meetings has thus far been received, but
it Is believed that they are being held
for the purpose of efecting union of
interest between the Boston syndicate
and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and the Gould combination. That it is
the design of Gould and his partners to
get control of all the routes leading to
the Pacific, or such contemplated routes
as have Pacific charters, has long since
been demonstrated. They have thus
tar succeeded in obtaining control of all
such routes except those of the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe and st.
Louis q San Francisco. Gould made a
gallant fight to secure the st. Louis &
San Francisco and its Atlantic & Pacific
charter. but the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe got ahead of him, and formed
an alliance with that road. Since then
frantic efforts have been made by Gould
to break the treaty between those
roads. In order to defeat all attempts
of this kind on the part of Gould, the
Atchison, Tapeka & Snta Fe, it is stated,
has perfected arrangements to CONSOLE
date with the ST. Louis & San Francis
CO, and it is predicted that the CONSOLE
datlon will be made inside of month.
Gould, thus seeing himself baffied in
his attempts to get into the territory of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
cut this road off from eastern and west
ern connections, it is but natural that
he should take other means to obtain
bis end, and it is therefore not surpris-
ing that he entered into negotiations
with the Atchisop, Topeka & Santa Fe
people to bring about a union of in
terests. Both these syndicates have in
vested their capital to make money,
and this they could not do by entering
upon war Of determination, and there
ore both are showing willingness to
pool issues. By making a combination
with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
Gould will be still able to carry out his
designs, as he can thereby control the
Pacific rates to suit himself, though he
has to allow the Boston syndicate to
pocket a share of the profits 1t is
claimed that an amicable arrangement
has been determined upon by the two
parties, and that they are now perfect
ing the details for pooling their bust
ness.

4 jolly Wedding.
London GLIDE,

In Central America is a coun try call
ed Towka, and, without doubt, the
Towkans, whatever else they may be,
are the jolliest people in the world at a
wedding. They appear to be such an
ignorant race as to be unable to keep
record of the age of their children, ex-
cept in g manner somewhat similar to
that adopted by Robinson Crusoe with
his notched post for an almanac. The
Towkaas, however do not notch their
children. They hang about their necks
at birth a string with one bead on, and
at the expiration of another year they
add another bead, and SO on, the main
object being that there may be no
mistake when the young people arrive
at marriageable age. When q girl
numbers fifteen beads she is marriage
able, but the young man must possess
a necklace of twenty before he is reck-
oned capable of taking on himself so
serious responsibility. But the we'd
ding feast is the thing.
The invited guests assemble on what
answers to our village green, and set in
their midst is canoe, the property Of
the bridegroom, trimming with palm
wine, sWeetened with honey thickened
with crushed plantains. The drinking
cups are calabashes, which are set
floating in the fragrant liquor, and seat
ed around it the company fall to--a
mark of politeness being to drink out of
az m ny calabashes that have been
drank out of by somebody else as pos
sible. 1t should be mentioned however
to the Towkan's credit that the bride is
not present at this tremendous drink
ing bout, or rather, boat. She remains
in her parents hut, and when her in
tended has finished with the calabashes,
he takes his whistle of bamboo and
mis- ''tom-tom," which Is a hollow little
log, tied over at each end with bits of
leather, and seating himself at the door
of his parents-in-law in prospective, he
commences to bang and toote sweet
music, until the heart of the tender
creature within is softened and they let
him in.

Two Leadville miners went to ball
IN Chicago last week. One of them get
ting intoxicated, took off his coat and
laid it in the windows, while he vigor-
ously engaged in the witcher.es of the
dance. An officer took possession of
cot, and found wallet in the pocket
containing 1927 900, which he returned
to the careless miner. He is one of
two men who walked from Chicago to
Leadville when the mining excitement
broke out, and returned wealthy owing
to bold speculations.
