was some increased speculative buying

prospects have inspired more confidence in railroad
property, especially the Granger and Southern and

RObbing the ShipWrecked.
HOW THE PASSENGERS OF THE kMsTERDIM WE'RE

TREATED ON SABLE ISLAND
The improper treatment by Canadian govern
ment officials OF the unfortunate persons cast on
Sable Island last week by the wreck of the steamer
Amsterdam, bound for New York, is described by
some Of the passengers to be OF the most out
rageous character. Only three men OF the island
oicials took any trouble to cheer the sh1pwrecked
people, and the others on one occasion so far
as the utterance OF threats When the government
steamer Newfeld arrived with relief she was hailed
with cheers. SO great was the Joy OF the unhappy
that it is five hours time nom the lighthouse to
the febOat station, and there is not single extra
soul on the island for service In OF emergency
30 that should even one OF the regular become
sick or disabled it would be impossible to
launch the nfeboat. There was great scarcity OF
1000, and on going to the ship to get provisions the
passengers and the islanders robbed the cabin pas
sengers OF their valuabes with impunity.

e have seen the time when l could
make $50 day putting up lightning
rods. Drive up to house and talk
with a man about rodding his barn, at
so much foot, and he would figure that
it would cost, say, $40, and he would
sign an order. Before the ink was cold
l would have seven or eight men, with
ladders, all over that barn. They would
go over it like cats on back fence, put
points on every corner and conductors
down every side. The farmer and his
family would look on in amazement, and
be so pleased at the improved look of
the old barn that they would not kick
at the number of points. Then We
would 60 off without collecting
the bill, and in about week
our collector would come along
with bill for 1887 Al, and the
farmers note all signed, and demand
the pay. The farmer might faint away,
but he had to pay it. Oh, of course, if
he seemed hurt, we would throw off
the odd cents, just to show Christian
spirit. But the condemned newspapers
have kept talking about highway rob-
berry under the disguise of lightning
rod peddlers until it is as much as a
mans life is worth to go through the
country on lightningr rod wagon.
Actually, they chased me out of Dodge
county two years ago with dogs. At
least thought they were after me, but
| found out after got out of the county
alive that it was pack of hounds be-
longing to Van Brunt, of Horizon. after

fidence, that when heard those hounds
and saw the men on horseback no streak
of creased lightning ever made better
time than l did with that lightning-rod

A member of manufacturing firm
That employs 500 men told the
senate committee yesterday that
khe knowledge he possessed he got by
reading the newspapers. and not from
books, and that by reading the papers
he kept himself informed on the liter
lature and current events of the day.
Thousands of other prominent business
men would make the same acknowledge
ment il questioned on the subject. The
tendency of all literature is toward
expansion, so the most industrious
lreader of books can scarcely in life
time become we'll informed newspapers,
on the contrary, condense nearly every
thing into as few words rs possible.
Wore a student TO attempt to give the
political, social, religious and literary
history of the world for day he might
do it in far more elegant style than the
newspapers, but his story would occupy
the readers time for at least week.
The newspaper is the true American

Or standeth injured. All the friends deep

A friend. Thy faithful hands swift blow
Beats back the world-its questioning doubt.

No dread attack can put my trust to rout;
The past is all as if it had not been.
