The death of Mr.. D. C. Carmichael,

after an illness of several months dura-

been doing it's fatal work, and despite the
medical attention and changes of climate,
death ensued. The deceased leaves no

RAILROAD STANDARD TIME.

Heretofore, travellers have been an
noyed Ivy the absence of uniformity
in railroad time standards ; but on last
Sunday all the railways of the country
were made to conform to five time
standards, known as those of the
sixtieth, seventy-ifth, ninetieth, one
hundred and fifth and one hundred
and twentieth meridians west of
Greenwich, England. These merid-
ians are fifteen degrees, or one hour
apart, and may be designated as the
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
meridians. They are also classified
as Eastern, Atlantic, Valley, Noun.
tain and Pacific times. The railroad
time of Mexico is, therefore. Valley
time, and is that of the ninetieth or
six-hour meridian, which passes from
north to south q short distance from
Belleville, Illinois, and differs but
little from actual sun dial time.
Few persons, outside the travelling
community and the daily importers
of merchandise by express and freight
trains, comprehend how great an i'm
provement upon the old plan is this
consolidation of railroad time. A
glance at the clock will hereafter
show, without computation of any
sort, how long it will be to the arrival
and departure Of an expected train.
For a considerable period scientists
have been working for the introduce
ton of this change, and the basis
adopted has the appearance of being
a fortunate one. Should this expec-
tation be realized, it will doubtless be
extended to other continents. Under
the present system a traveller need
not change his watch. As he passes
from one time to another, he under
stands the difference between them is
one hour, an allowance that a be
readily made without altering his
time-keeper.

tiers OF the way back to the moon again.
But the Sun is written for the inhabi-
tants Of the earth; this same strip of In
telligence would girdle the globe twenty
seven or twenty-eight times.

Miss Greenwood's Marriage.

The marriage of Miss Ada Green
wood, of Kansas City, in Mexico last
week, appeared to be so mysterious
that we telegraphed to Charley Grasty.
city editor of the Times, asking what
was the matter. In the next issue of
his paper appeared the following ar
ticle:
The announcement that Miss Ada
Greenwood, a well known young lady of
this city, had been privately married at
Mexico, Mo, to Mr.. H. Mclaughlin, of
Chicago, on Thursday evening of this
week, was received by the Times from
Mexico yesterday, and as may be imag-
ined, the report created a good deal of
surprise among the young lady's friends
in this city, non of whom were eve
aware that she had been making any ar
engagements for her marriage. The family
of the young lady had not been apprised
that the marriage had occurred, and not
until the dispatch to the Times was shown
them did they know of the event. Prof.
J. NJ. Greenwood, her father, said the
family had known of her engagement for
some time, but the news of her marriage
was a total surprise to them. Professor
Greenwood stated that Miss Ada had a
months engagement to teach %elocution
at Odessa, and the engagement not yet
having terminated, he had not expected
the marriage to occur SO oon Miss
Greenwood was expected to return home
Friday evening of this week, he said.
He did not know what object there was
in a private marriage, and said there was
no opposition on the part of the family
to the alliance contemplated by Miss Ada,
Mr.. Mclaughlin, he stated, was quite
well known in Kansas City, his business
as a travelling salesman for a well known
law publishing firm of Chicago having
frequently brought him to this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclaughlin will, it is re-
ported, spend the winter in the south.

Fer Young Men to Remember.

That clothes don't make the man.
That if they once get in debt, they may
never get out of it.
That parting the hair in the middle
brings on softening of the brain.
That to deal %honorably with all men
they begin with their washer-woman.
That they need something more sub
stanial than cigars, kid gloves, and a cane
to start housekeeping with.
That they can't reckon on their fathers
fortune to bring them through life. For
tunes are slippery things-better have
something besides tx fall back on.
That a girl who decks herself in the
latest things out and parades in the street
while her mother does the washing, isn't
worth wasting much love on.
That a fellow who deliberately p
es matrimony to a girl when he can't
support himself, is either a frst-class
fraud or a fool-unless he marries for
money and becomes her hired man,
