Whv He Rslinnuished,

Young Esselmore, wild and fanciful
convivialist, met Miss Gaylam and be-
came devotedly attached to her. Every
one said that the love, which the young
lady ardently returned, could never
ripen into marriage, for the young lady's
father was cruelty opposed to the young
man, insomuch that he shot at him one
Sunday. Several days afterwards the
old man sat in his study, scraping the
rust from the barrel of a revolver, when
Esselmore suddenly entered and con-
fronted him.
Didn't send you word that if you
came to my house again / would kill
you?"
II believe you did, but, sir, you can
never know how devotedly I love your
daughter. I must marry her or my life
will resemble the dark of the moon. [
would rather receive all the lead and
wrath in your collection of death dealing
instruments than to forego the pleasure
of seeing my chosen one"
81 repeat, SIR" said the old man,
''that you shall not marry nv daughter.
Go away, or you will never live to know
how suddenly you died. In after years,
centuries from now, when old ivy clings
around the corners of this ruined house,
this spot will be pointed out to tourists
as place where an ardent lover was
hacked into sausage meat by an irate
and cruel father"
"Glorious history that would be, and
happy in the thought that when the dis
tant centuries come, when the vine clings
and when young lovers stand under the
Young moon, breathe vows and speak
Of me, I will prepare myself for my
doom"
''Say, young fellow; I see that you are
determined. / don't want the girl to
marry, for she can pick more cotton
than any lady in the neighborhood. In
the closet there have a jug of ten-year

ton and I'll give you a drink. "

The Kiss That Ellie Wilton Dodged.

John A. Stevens had announced a
play new to New York, called
s'Passion's Slave,'' and the advertise
ment promised, with pictures and big
letters, that the 'tHenry V. kiss"
would be feature. Ellie Wilton, a
pretty actress, who came from San
Francisco half dozen years ago, and
has since been employed most of the
time in our fashionable theatres, was to
receive the kiss, ''by the kind permis
sion of Lester Wallack." The Winsor
Theatre, where this was to occur, was
crowded. In one box sat Mr. Stevens
divorced wife, Lotta Church, who is an
Italian and reputedly jealous. In an
other box was Miss Wilton's afianced
husband. By my side was man whom
I took, from his conversation with his
companion, to be an attache of the
theatre. Expectation had been raised
to great height-to the level of the
fourth tier of the gallery, in fact, for
when the boys up there saw Ste
vens, as the sentimental hero, embrace
Miss Wilton, they yelled their recogni-
ton of the situation as they had seen it
in the pictures. Stevens went behind
the actress, threw his arms around her,
drew her up close, and, by placing one
hand under her chin, turned her face
into kissing distance. We had all read
how an actress had quilted the company
in the West because she thought this
kiss was an improper stage realism.
Miss Wilton's actual sweetheart, in the
box withdrew partially behind tho
drapery, possibly to hide his emotion,
and leveled his opera-glass. The
divorced Mrs. Stevens leaned slightly
forward and opened her eyes wide. As
for me, took out my watch, resolved
to time the kiss accurately and eoolly.
But all of us were doomed to disap-
pointment. just as the lips of the actor
were settling down upon those of the
actress she suddenly turned her mouth
aside and the kiss struck her cheek
with a quite passionate effect. The
theatre attache close by me muttered
something that had the tone and man.
ner of deep cursing; and then he said:
"She agreed to do it, but you can't de-
pend upon woman" But there were
! two persons who were not displeased,
because she bolted the kiss, and it was
not difficult to pick them OUT Clara

A Woman's View Of Two Men.

Mary Clemmer Ames says that when
the total abstinence women called on
Garfield, to ask him whether he intend
ed to exclude wine from the white
house, his manner was cold and ungra-
cious, as though he felt their presence
to be an intrusion and their plea an i'm
pertinence .'If a Christian temper
ance man could so use US, what could
we expect of man of the world" (and
here she meant Arthur), "who every
on his tablep We expected to be snub-
bed, and went with fear and trem-
bling" But they were as much sur
prised at the interview with Arthur as
they had been at that with Garfield.
The former said, in the kindest tones:
"Ladies, you know that do not pre-
tend to be a temperance man In the
sense that you understand the word. l
drink wine, and give it to my friends,
but no less feel the honor done me in
the visit of SO many good and earnest
women devoted to the cause of temper
ance." He also shed q tear or two
when pathetic speech was being made
to him. and when somebody remarked
that they ought not to consume any
more of his valuable time, he replied
cordially: ''My time is not SO precious
that l do not wish to speak personally
to you ALL" So he was introduced to
the whole delegation of two hundred,
and "had each one been a queen he
could not have addressed her with more
marked Difference of tone" He gave
each woman flower, too, and IS she
went out "she felt happy, however 1t
might be with the temperance CAUSE"

How Educated Indians Pan Out.

Some religious journal says that in
order to make Indians good they must
be educated. This has often been tried
and it has invariably proved a failure.
Educate the Indian and you make him
a thief, whisky hummer and bad
man generally. The educated In
dian can frequently be seen in Califor-
MIA and Nevada. They make a very
poor white man. An ordinary Indian
will work little, and if he does not his
squaw will; but the educated Indian is
too smart. The only way to make a
virtuous red man is to kill him and
bury him beneath the never blooming
sagebrush. There are several inteili-
gent Indians living about Reno, and
their intelligence is chiefly directed to
obtaining whisky. There is one who
can read and write very well, and he is
nearly always drunk. When you edu-
cate an Indian you merely open his
eyes to the fact that it is an easy matter
to get whisky.-Reno (Ncv.) Eceni'sg.

Our Common Dangers.

The advance of civilization has done
much to prolong the average duration
of human life. Better food, better
houses, a greater regard for the laws of
health and greater security against vio-
lence of any sort have made life more
comfortable and reduced the danger of
an early death. But there is such q
thing as going too far. Many new in
ventions and improvements are posi-
lively dangerous to human life. Our
streets have become unsafe for foot pas
sengers and vehicles. The air above
carrying electric currents of deadly pow
er If they should break and fall in the
street, as might easily happen at FIRE,
by load Of Toe or other causes, it might
be instant death for man to touch
them. If a stream from FIRE. engine
should play against two broken ends of
the wire the electricity would follow the
stream of water and kill the fircmen.
Again, the wires are SO numerous in
many localities that it would be almost
impossible to raise ladders for the res
cue of people cut OFF by the flames.
This is the danger overhead. There are
other dangers underfoot. A few feet
underground are pipes charged along
their whole length with steam at a
pressure which only boiler is fitted to
withstand. The result is that these
pipes burst and create havoc by An ir-
ruption of the street. This has already
happened several times. Again, the
gas pipes leak, SO that the ground be-
Games saturated with gas. This col
lects in the manholes of the steam COM
panies and explodes with terrific vio-
lence when spark reaches it. This
happened twice last week. More COM
mon dangers are the difficulty of CROSS
ing streets through jam Of vehicles,
the slipperyness Of coal hole covers and
the explosion of boilers under sidewalks.
We are getting civilized out of existence.

Friotional Elactricitv.

We looked into the press-room of one
OF Boston large printing abishments
this week. says . correspondent OF the
Paper Trade World. The foreman was
furious, and the proprietor sorrowful.
Frictional electricity in the printed
sheets Of paper as they left the presses
was the immediate cause of their trouble.
It Is an interesting and not uncommon
phenomenon, and is not easily explained
nor easily controlled. 1t has puzzled
Professors Bell and Wadman and the
best electricians we have about here.
The packing upon the press cylinder
seems to act as an inductor, and the
paper leaves the press thoroughly cleo
trifed. We watched press running off
LOO per hour. Suddenly the printed
sheet clung about the cylinder as though
pasted upon it, and had to be torn off in
strips. Again, we lifted few freshly
printed leaves, and they rippled and
cracked like the stitches in an old coat.
Then we saw lot of cardboard being
printed. The sheets stuck together as
solid as brick, and could not be sepa-
rated until the electricity had partly
passed off. A piece of printers brass
rule placed in this pile of cardboard,
with an end projecting, threw off sparks
when approached within an inch by an
other piece of rule. Two sheets sucked
together when held fourteen inches
apart Wet rags placed around the de-
livery table and held into a bucket of
water charged the water with electricity
in forty minutes SO that a positive shock
was felt upon hand being immersed in
the pail. Electrical currents were felt
in the hands and arms upon handling
pile Of paper eight minutes after being
printed. These are only few of many
curious experiences. The bother to the
printer is considerable one. It entails
Inconvenience and serious loss. Val
uab1e work is frequently spoiled by the
electricity packing the leaves SO closely
as to offset the fresh ink. Then the
presses have to be slow speeded, with
frequent stoppages. Nothing SO demor
alizes the press-room as this mystery of
frictional electricity when under full
hesdway. The theories for controlling
It don't seem to work, when applied,
worth a cent.

Hairs to a Enrtnna.

Cox was sentenced to months i'm
prisonment at Rutland, VT, for selling
alcoholic beverages, but had the alter
native of paying fine instead at any
time within twenty-four hours. He re-
fused to pay for his liberty until he
found that, as prisoner he must part
with his beard, which reached to his
waist, and had been twenty-five years
growing. The warden said it was then
too late, and ordered the barber to do
his duty. Cox was held fast and his
face roughly shaved, without using any
lather or first clipping off the whiskers
with the scissors. He caught cold and
nearly died, as consequence of this
treatment. He sued for damages, and
two trials have resulted in verdicts OF
heavy amounts against the warden; but
each time there was an informality,
and third jury will hear the case.
