A TERRIBLE SHOCK,
And How a COachman Wanted
70 Whip the Electric Spark.

st. Louis News, sth,l
An odd little meeting occurred yes
terday afternoon between an Irish
coachman and an electric spark. The
spark got the best Of it for time, but
when the astonished Jehu arose he
wanted, naturally. to lick somebody.
The circumstance happened thus wise.
Everybody knows that VIM. Barr &
Go. have for the last two or three
months been in the habit of display
ing electric lights on the corners Of
their great building. Yesterday after
noon, just before dusk, a workman
connected with the electrical depart
ment of the establishment was engaged
in hoisting the swinging light into po
sition on the corner of Sixth and
Olive streets. AT this hour, accord
ing to what is usual, there were a
number of carriages congregated
round the entrances to Bars, wait
ing for the fair shoppers within. One
of these had for its driver
good-natured Irishman. who
jumped off his seat and vol
unteered to aid the electric light
man in his work. The aid was ac
Cepted, and both men set to work
pulling on the guys. To aid in the
lift the Irishman put his hand on the
neighbOring lamppost. The battery
at this moment was turned on. The
workmen had hold of one of the cop
per conductors connected with the
Banglll Irish coachman went one
way, electric workman another-just
as though they had been suddenly
separated by an explosion of dynamite.
The coachman and his co-laborer
arose from the opposite cutters of the
street simultaneously, and then
coachee, with blood ia his eye, sought
for his revenge. He made for that
electric workman, crying:
" Ye spalpeen, fwhen | was helpin
yez, ye blagard, ye give me a welt O.
the side o the head. Ochl let me get
at yel"
But the other man waited not. He
went straight nOrthward at race horse
speed, and by this time has probably
got to st, Charles. When the Irish
man had thoroughly recovered his
senses, he said:
Och, but it's a terrible blow the
fellow guy me, and me a heIpin'
him" With this he solemnly mount
ed to his seat and drove off, caring
naught for his mistress, who was
within shopping.

THE SUPREME COURT AND ITS
PICKET GUARD.

1t is funny spectacle to the 120,-
600 Democrats who backed the Nash
vile American last spring in its Wig
orous opposition to the coupon busi-
ness, to see how jealously that journal
now guards the portals of the Supreme
Court, lest a good reason from the
outside might reach tlat tribunal and
help to demolish the 1908. The
Judges, who are supposed to be men
Of stern integrity, will not feel com.
plimentcd'by having themselves thus
picketed by the American and the
Appeal. A good reason for decision
either way is just the thing they want,
whether it comes from the bar, the
press or the pulpit; and the idea is
monstrous, that anyman on that bench
can be influenced by outside pressure
OF any sort-unless it be the outside
pressure Of sound reason, and that is
just the thing all honest judges are
hunting for.

"rHE BELLE OF ST. LOUIS"
Miss Nellie ffnEeItine and BIP.
ParamOre Married at Phil
adelphia.

Special to the St. Louis News.
PHILADELPHIA, December 5.-AI
2 p m. to-day Miss Nellie Hazeltine
well known as the belle of St
Louis" who, a couple of summers
ago, was reported as betrothed to S.
j. Tilden, was married to Mr. Fred.
]. Paramore, millionaire resident Of
st. Louis. She was married at the
house Of an acquaintance on North
Broad street by Rev. DR.. McVickers,
of Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal
church. The reason she gives for this
sort Of Gretna- Green affair, is that she
wanted to avoid publicity, but by a
singular coincidence the lady she is
stopping with is the proprietor of
little weekly gossip sheet, which will
give the wedding details.
Mr.. PaFamore arrived in the city a
few hours before the ceremony, took
breakfast, was married, dined after
wards alone at the hotel, was Joined
by his btide, and they went away to-
gether for parts unknown. She had
been here a week, and purchased vari-
GUS articles to complete her outfit.
Only few persons we're present as
witnesses. Samuel j. Tildeo, to whom
she was once reported as about to be
married, sent her a handsome present.

The chief duty of most newspaper
men is to burrow around fer news,
not to form smooth sentencesor enun-

sons can be brilliant two or three
times a year, who utterly fail in the
treadmill experience of journalistic
work. Literary contributors to news
papers or periodicals seldom become
millionaires. OF course, one who is
already famous can get his own price
for an article, but So page is good

Suppose it to cover ten pages, the
writer receives $50. If he could
write and secure publisher for twelve

may pay the young beginner in law OF

leisure and increase his limited in

complete reliance on them Tor support,

they have little room, under the con.
