A Conscientious Conductor.

"How did become superintendent
answered the railroad official. "Why,
it was this way: l was conductor of the
morning passenger express, and one day
as we were coming aown.hy the junction
we struck misplaced switch and ran in
to freight train that was standing on
the siding. As we we're running about
thlrty-fve miles an hour, of course it
piled things up good deal. Our en-
gine was smashed all to pieces, the
smoker telescoped the baggage car.
and the forward passenger coach ran up
on the heap and rolled over. 1 was
standing on the platform at the time the
thing happened, and luckily was slung off
about thirty feet beside the track. When
| picked myself up everything was con-
fusion, the air was filled with clouds of
escaping steam, and about fifty passen-
gers were somewhere in the wreck. OF
course it was what you might call an
emergency but there's no s,ich word
as that in the company's dictionary. 1
had my orders, and knew what to do.
The roof of the smoking car lay near me,
and | heard man crying out from un-
derneath it. After about ten minutes
work l got the stuff all cleared away,
and reached him. He was very weak
and groaning. 'Oh, heayensr he said,
this timber presses on me so, can't
move. Both my legs are broken below
the knee Think you'll be here till the
next train?' l asked. ooh, yes,' he
moaned. Then you'll need stop-over
check. sir, l said, and 1 made out a
pasteboard and gave it to him. Young
man, he said, I observe that you have
neglected to fill in the day of the month,
but, under the circumstances, your omis.
sion is excusable. I am director of the
company, and, if ! survive, your atten-
ton to duty shall be rewarded. The
old gentleman pulled through, and is
now vice president. That's how I'm
superintendent" hecontinued musing
ly, as ne fingered his lantern watch
charm, 81 believe in the old saying
that the company has rights which the
public Is bound to respect, and rules
which they must conform to-"

A MEXICAN scHE ,s 5 E. E,

The governor and people of Coahuila,
Mexico, have offered to place s15O,OOO
in the hands OF the Baptists if they will
establish five churches at given points
in that country and furnish $4,000 for
running expenses. Why the Baptists
were selected in preference to any other
denomination is not apparent at first
glance; but when you come to think
that Coahuia is almost entirely destitute
OF water, and that the Baptist doctrine
cannot be propagated without plenty of
that fluid, the method of the proceeding
begins to be visible. If the Baptists es-
tablish five churches down there they
will be obliged to provide system of
irrigation in connection Herewith, and
that will advance the value of land to
ten times the amount of the proposed
donation, The Mexican mind is a lit.
tie slow, but it seems to be catching
on" gradually.

DAKOTA STATISTICS

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway has issued detailed tabular
statement showing the population and
crop statistics for 1883, for the counties
in Dakota on the lines of or adjacent to
the road. The thirty counties enumer-
ated have total population of 191, 800,
compared with l3O, ,72o in 1882. The
total wheat acreage was 449, 700 bush
els, being 81 bushels to the acre; the
yield of pats. was 2l0,65O bushels, at 55
per acre; Of rye, 22,51O bushels, at 80
per acre; of barley. $4,000 bushels, at
IS per acre; of fax, 1O2, ,24O bushels, at
l5 per acre. These figures are guaran-
teed by the company to be correct. The
statement shows remarkable increase
In population which is permanent. The
crop statistics indicate that men have
settled down there to stay.

A GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION

The new prospectus of the exhibition
to be held in New Orleans next year,
and the preparations that are under way,
show commendable determination on
the part of the managers to make the
enterprise what it's name imports, q
worlds industrial exposition = (. .It is
to be opened in December, 1884, and
continued until May, 1885. The plan is
comprehensive both as to exhibits and
exhibitors, embracing all agricultural,
mineral and industrial products, and in
viting competition from all parts of the
world. The exposition buildings are to
cover an area greater than that used in
Philadelphia in 1876. The enterprise
has received the official stamp of the
national government, and already num-
ber OF southern states have taken favor
able action with reference to it. The
people of the south are beginning to
show lively interest in it, and, alto
gether 1t promises to be the greatest ex-
position held in this country since the
Centennial. Let the north unite with
the south in making this national en-.
terprise and national success, and
thereby give a lew impetus to southern
industrial activity, the fruits of which
will be shared by the nation at large.

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.

Prince Bismarck seems determined to
stop Germans from emigrating to the
United States, if it is possible to do it.
He is as anxious to keep the young men
from leaving the fatherland as he is that
American pork shall be kept out of the
Emperor Williams doninions. He has
recently had bill introduced into the
German reichstag which prohibits the
emigration to foreign countries of per.
Sons whose obligations to their country,
families, creditors and employees are un-
fulfilled. Thus, the claims Of the coun.
try for young men to supply the army
will embrace cne class those who have
aged parents depending on them for
support will find it impossible to leave,
and others will be prevented in other
ways. a more arbitrary law could not
be conceived of; but then, the Iron Man
of Germany knows no will but his own.

WHAT THEY COST, AND WHY.

The new 2-cent postage stamps cost
the government Just 8 1-5 cents a thou
sand. They cost the contractors more
than that, but the profit comes in on
stamps manufactured for the countries
on this continent south of us, who al.
ways patronize the concern which sup
plies our government. They have to pay
from five to ten times as much as we do,
but they never grumble, and in order to
capture their trade the engraving COM
panies are willing to furnish the United
States at less than the cost of manufac-
turing.i This eexplains why it is that
outside companies are given contracts
for supplying postage stamps in face OF
the fact that the government has print
ing and engraving establishment OF its
own

Acting in Earnest.


Talma, also, was SO realistic an actor
that, in order to work up his grand
bursts OF passion, he would seize upon
any unfortunate super whom he came
upon behind the scenes, and shake him
until he himself had become breathless
and the man frightened beyond all con-
troll at his assumed violence. Neverthe.
less, the peculiarities of both Macready
and Talma were only inaccordance with
that precedent furnished in ancient his
tory, though with less disastrous results,
According to Plutarch, Esop, the Ro-
man actor, so interested himself in the
characters he undertook that one day,
when he played Atreus, he, in that
scene where it falls to his lot to consider
how he might best destroy the tyrant
Thyestes, worked himself up into such
apitch of ungovernable rage that he
struck one of the minor performers with
his scepter and laid him dead at his
feet

A BAD EGG.
History of Mrs. Samuel J. Hudson, Alias
Frank Dubois, the Female
Husband.

CHICAGO, November 6.-Charles N.
Derthick and his mother, the stepbrother
and stepmother of Mrs. S. ). Hudson,
who, as Frank Dubois, has been Great
ing such stir in Wisconsin, are resl-
dents of Hyde Park. Discovering their
relationship with that now noted person,
q reporter interviewed mother and son
Yesterday. Their information on the
subject was as follows: The woman who
is now figuring as Frank Dubois and Mrs.
Samuel j, Hudson was by birth Cordella
Derthick. She came into the care OF
her stepmother about eighteen years
ago at the age OF 16, being consequently
about "a years of age at this time. Her
stepmother lived at that time at Ell
bridge, small y llsge near Paris, III.
She lived with her three years and then
went away "to work." as she said. Sey-
eral months afterward they heard of her
in service at n clearinghouse about
twenty miles away. They sent after her,
and she told the messenger that she was
sick and wanted to come home. A few
days afterward they went to bring hei
home, but she had departedto parts un-
known, subsequently turning up il Bel.
videre, III. In 1871 she married Samuel
J. Hudson at Belvidere, by whom she
had two children. She and her
husband seldom staid long in one place,
living at different times in Illinois, Iowa,
and Wisconsin. While they 1sere living
in Belvidere, in 1880, Mrs. Hudson ran
away with one William Rowell while her
husband was in Rockport. Hudson hunt
ed her up on his return and found her
with Rowell at Freepott, III, Rowell
"skipped out, and the Httdsons in
1882 went to Iowa. Last March Hud
son appeared in Belvidere with their two
children, and stated that his wife would
join them in few days. Time passed
by and she did not appear. Rumors
that she was dead were current and gem
orally believed by her relatives. Now
she turns up as Frank Dubois, a husband
and, as the wife states, the father
of an unborn child. Mrs. Frank Du.
bois Samuel j. Hudson is pretty, with q
shapely, fnely-developed figure and
small hands and feet. When costumed
as q woman she had handsome, dnyk,
curly hair. When voting she acted
more like boy than q girl, and her
stepmother says she "never could keep
track of her." "Oh, by the way" said
the reporter, as he put his hand on the
door-knob, "l suppose there is no doubt
that Frank Dubois is woman, is there2'
"None whatever" was the slepmother's
reply,

Unequal Justice,
tFrom the London TRUTH


Last week a jewelers. assistant at Eal-
ing was accused of stealing two watches
belonging to customers of his master.
One watch was found upon him as well
as the duplicate OF the other, which he
had pawned. He pleaded guilty, but.
receiving a good character, was only
fined e5, the money, of course, being
paid, be "Ieaving the court with his
friends. !" Before the same bench of
magistrates was brought hungry tramp,
who had gone into field and stolen a
handful of onions, the value of which
was probably about Id. He was award
ed months imprisonment with hard
labor. I noticed case last week in
which tramp, accused of doing neither
more nor less than givinga girl couple
OF kisses, was sentenced to two months
hard labor. At the Thames police court
on Thursday, man was convicted of
giving girl two kisses and three kicks.
as well as of having violently assaulted
the constable, who interfered with his
attentions. He was sentenced to two
weeks hard labor. To make kiss plus
a kick less otfense than kiss alone
seems to be taking the notion that q
woman likes to be beaten rather too lit.

SOLD THE CADAvER.
The Husband of the Fat Woman Sell
Her Body to Physician.

BALTIMORE, Nd, November T.
David Moses, the husband of the Bowely
fat bride who died here about ten DAYS
ago, has sold her body to DR.. Alexander
Hill, of this city. The body will be dis
inferred in few days. Immediately
after the funeral ceremonies at Mt.
Olivet Cemetery the weeping MIR.
Moses, who seemed overcome with
grief, went to Or. Hills office.
He told the doctor who he was,
and added: "I want to sell my wife's
body. 1t may be stolen, anyhow" The
doctor told him he would give him 800.
Moses snapped at the offer, and the
bargain was at once concluded. DR..
Hill wants the body for dissection and
more especially for the skeleton. which
he will have articulated and placed in
his office. Moses, who went to New
York Immediately after the funeral,
will be here in few days and
be present at the disinterment OF
his bride of month, who in death
as we'll as in life is source OF profit 10
him. When taken up the body will be
removed to private apartment in one
of the medical colleges, where it will be
dissected. Great surprise IS expressed
by DR.. Hill at the transaction being
n ade public. Several more efforts have
been made to steal the body, and the
fact that other parties may be able toget
at it will hasten the disinterment.

GentIemen's STYLES.

Gents pantaloons are nc longer tight,
but the same can not be said of some of
the wearers.
Black is still worn at funerals, Nom
orial services, swell parties and on other
solemn occasions.
If you can't afford to buy a Newman
ket overcoat buy a coachman's coat and
remove the front buttons.
Standing collars are less suggestive of
lynching parties than formerly, being
cut lower and worn larger.
Outside of Chicago it is now regarded
as lmpoiite to beg cigars and tobacco
when you have plenty in your pockets.
10 calculate, Here's to you!" every
time you take o sip of lemonade with a
friend is no longer considered de rigu-
eur.
Very stiff Derby hats are still in vogue
and will probably continue so until hod
carriers learn to climb ladders without
dropping bricks.
lmpecunious swells will be glad
know that wedding vests are now Gu
higher IN the neck, so that if the unpaid
washerwoman rebels at the last moment
dickey can be worn.
Rubber coats are now very popular
Tor street car wear on rainy days, They
turn the drippings from your clothes to
those OF your nelghbor, and in a very
crowded Car will be rubbed nice and dry
by the other passengers before the jour
ney is ended.

Rented Dress Suits

From the Pittsburg Commercial GazetteJ
Who hire dress coats ?" q CONNER
cial Gazette reporter asked a clothier
yesterday. 1t has been but one wear
that dress suits could be rented in Pitts
burg. To be sure, the customers have
had spike tails in stock for many years,
but they were battered and beer stained
from frequent use at masquerade balls
and not able to stand very close in
spection. Last winter one of the cloth
ing houses OF the city added "To Let
Department to its establishment, and
it was to the superintendent of this cor
ner of the store that the question was
addressed.
" Who hires them ?" repeating the
question, "most everybody, l guess.
When we started this thing the people
laughed at us. They had read of it be-
ing done in the east, but didn't believe
that it would work here Well, we
waited and our reward came. A dress
suit costs $75 if it is we'll made, and can
easily cost sl25, if there are any fancy
touches to it. Many men have no use
for such rig except may be once year,
and while it is true that when they want
it it's like pistol in Texas, wanted
mighty bad; an investment of S75 that
only comes into use once year is too
much for the majority. That's where
we come Ill, and before the winter sea.
son last year had fairly opened the
young men found it out. This fall there
has not been n wedding or full dress re.
ception in the city that our coats have
not attended. Lawyers, doctors, bank.
ers, business men, clerks, sales
men, everybody but preachers hire them
from us, and the demand is increasing.
We charge S2.50 for the first night, and
make reduction if they are kept ou,
longer than that. It's money for us and
money for the man who hires the spike.
tail, so l guess that's the reason every.
body comes to us"
