kGITATING a WIDOW.

Not long ago 4 man crossing e
railroad track on mule was struck
by q locomotive and killed. The
mule was also hurried into eternity.
The man, while sober, was gentle
man, but, when drunk, was perfect
tyrans OF the deepest dye. Withou,
any provocation whatever, lie used
TO beat his wife and lock her up in
the wardrobe; hence when she heard
OF his death it was not so much q
case of heavy bereavement as 1t was
Of misigated affection. AS the en-
gineer Of the LOGON olive was clearly
to blame for the accident, it WAS
suggested TO the wi low that she
bring a suit for damages. She re
solved to do 80, and called at the
Office of the railway company. The
proper official happened to be in.
The widow had such q clear e
against the company thst it was
deemed advisable to compromise the
matter.
snow, madame" said the official,
after the widow had thrown back
her veil and stated her business,
ave are willing to do what is fair in
this matter. There is really no oc
casion 20 60 to law. It is delicate
subject to discuss, so I think. With
out going into the merits of it, l will
tender you check for $4,000, and
you will sign paper, releasing the
company from and further de-
mands."
The widow stared, and asked:
"Hov mucb?"
II an authorized to pay you
$4,000"
II accept it," she said, very much
agitated. The check was handed
over, the papers signed, and the wild
ow walked out into the street in
bewildered franc of mind. AS she
cashed the check she said to herself
confdentially; ~ didn't expect to
get more than $50. I reckon that
railroad fellow didn't know how old
that mule was.".- Savannah Record

TIE San Francisco Call gives
some interesting facts about the Mint
In the Golden Gate City, There are
in the Mint over SOL 100000 of coin
ed money. The only pieces coined
there now are gold twenties and sill
yer dollars. OF the latter were on
hand on the frst of the month 500,
231,9l5 81, and $3,66O,245 in gold.
The gold receipts in the month of
January are usually light, Tie
mines during this month operate but
little except on the Stock Board.
There is not just now 100000, of
uncoined money bullion in the Mint
building. The coined silver, express
ed in weight measure, upproximates
one thousand tons. This Is kept
mainly in two vaults ia the basement
of the building, one of which stores
ten and the other fifteen millions.
The remainder is in the cashiers
vsu't, except small amount in the
coiner's vault. The large vaults III
the basement are made chilled steel,
Enclosed in heavy stone mason work.
Each vault has double doors, with
combination locks. They are piled
from floor to ceiling with sacked
co.'s. The coined money ought to
be in the SubTreasuary, but for a
Jack of vault room in the latter build
ing the Mint is compelled to take
care OF it. There are two vaults nov
under contract in The East, one for
the Mint and one for the Sub Treas
ury.

He had five children, one of whom, a son, is
now in California. His remains will arrive
in Washington to-day, and the funeral will
take place from Trinity church on Saturday,

probably be those who ofiiciated at the funeral
of his wife-Drs. johnson Eliot James L.
Morgan, Howard, Charles II. Lieberman,

DIR. Young was n general practitioner of
much skill and doscrvedly high reputation
abroad as well as ut home. Personally he
was the most genial of moD-kind, tender
hearted, just, courageous, and chivalrous.
His death is the removal of an old landmark
from Washington, and will be severely felt
not only among his intimates, but among the
poor, of whom he was the generous, untiring
but unostentatious bcnefactor.

began her work among the Germans about
twelve years ago, and, finding there was great
need for her labor in the development of

fit herself for aiding in that development,
went abroad with her children and attended

science of life.
In her lecture she said: eve desire to
make better not only woman's condition, but
to improve human conditions. When wo-

knowledge of scientific art, understanding
skilled labor she will adopt new inventions,
will herself become an inventor, introduce

needs to adopt some of mans characteristics,
