Welded TO A CORPSE.
An Extraordinary Marriage Ceremony Per
formed In Maine.

AUGUSTA, (Me.), April 3.-Samuel b,
Robbins was born In the little village Of Ap-
pleton 81 years ago. He served in the civil
war and received wounds which entitled
him TO pension. Last July he began to
fail rapidly, and month az, 1t was evident
that he could live only short time. II he
died his pension money would be lost, for
his wife was dead and he had no children.
In this emergency It was decided that bride
must be obtained for the dying soldier. In
Rocklsnd was found q woman who was will
ing 10 become wife and widow in quick
succession, and on February 20 the banns
were published. The law requires five
days notice before marriage. On March 2
Robbins fell into q comatose condition and
did not recover his senses before he died, on
March 4.
1t Is said that when Squire Pease, the
Pension Agent, learned how near dissolu-
ton Robbins was, be sent post-haste to
kockland for the bride; but It 10 alleged
that the woman did not arrive until mid
night, nine hours after Robbins death. The
story goes that the woman was burriedly
taken TO the chamber where Robbins lay
dead and the horrible nockery Of marriage
ceremony between the living woman aud the
corpse was gone through. Some say that
Pesse's son took the clammy hand of the
dead man and placed 1t in that Of the wo-
man, while others say that q young man
named Fuller performed this repugnant
Office. At the funeral she was introduced as
Robbins wife, and II Is understood she
claims his pension money. The cause has
caused so much scandal that legal investi-
CATION will be held.

Give Women a Chance.
50. Louis Post-Dispdtch.

1T. Louis PoStDBpdtch
We are apparently In the midst Of an cpl
demic Of embezzlement. Defaulters, forgers
and swindlers Of oil kinds abound, and dis
honesty among trusted employees is begin
ming to shake our confidence In human
nature.
There Is partial remedy which is worth
trying. This Is to employ no men as clerks,
and TO let women handle the cash.
Young women have not the temptations OF
young men. They do not smoke and drink
and haunt billiard rooms. They do not
spend money on hack rides and frail com.
panions. They do not know how to bet
they have no chance TO gamble.
Women who are so fortunate As to be given
. chance to earn their living, are regular in
their habits. They are honest, sober, indus
trious, accurate, decent and safe.
A great many women are already employed
in all departments Of business, and In all
capacities. We doubt whether there Is a
case on record of one of them turning out a
thief.
The more generally women are employed
In positions Of trust and confidence, the fewer
will be the cases Of embezzlement.

AN ENCINEER,s DREAM.
Going Through Railroad Accident In Less

Chicago Herald.

An old locomotive engineer sat In the
smoking car talking with the brakeman and
some other railroad men. One Of them
asked him II be had ever fallen asleep on
his engine, and he replied: g.
ayes; thousands Of times, might say.
Perhaps not that many, but very often.
When am doing extra hours I fall asleep
for second or two and then start ~ wide

fear that has 90 disciplined my mind that I

Jiny. Talking about how long 1t takes .
man TO dream, now want TO tell you some
thing: I was running No. 4 into Chicago
one morning, when had been on duty IS
hours and had not had any sleep for 20.
Just rs we passed the little station at Utica,
between Ottawa and La Sslls-you know
No. 4 does not stop there-I dropped asleep.
Then had dream-s great long one, about
m accident. A train order was mixed up In
II, and, Is was not quite clear, remember
how studied over the words, II seemed to
me for 10 or 10 minutes. Then ] dreamed
there was collision; we struck and II threw
me up 10 the air 30 or 40 feet clear Of the
engine. mind how felt up there, and
was wondering where would land, and If
any Of the passengers were killed. 1t was
not q wy pleasant sensation, either, you
can imagine. Then II seemed came down,
and, strange enough, landed right on my
seat, with my left hand on the throttle. At
that very instant awoke, and 1t seemed 90
real that for second could hardly realize
there had not been any collision and had
not been up In the air. We'll, that dream
was fall Of details and good deal Of time

and its ending, but when looked out Of my
window, I'll be cussed II there wasn't the

Money to Come.

The Helena Herald is authority for
the statement that nearly a million of
dollars is tied up in vouchers and
checks of contractors who have been
working for the Northern Pacific from
Livingston to Missoula, and that
within very short time this money
will be paid over, greatly loosening the
financial stringency that has embar-
rassed business circles in this country
during the past month or two. Itsays
that $l35. 900 of this amount has al
ready reached Helena, and that the
balance will come steadily as fast as
the vouchers can be examined by the
Northern Pacific officials.

William Curtis, editor of Harper's
Weekly, has never come to light. but
certain it is that the worlds greatest
cartoonist finds no place for his
sketches in the paper his genius has
made famous. His contract with the
Harpers is for $4,000 year for life,
and he gets $1,000 each quarter with
unfaltsring regularity. [ unde rstand
that he sends his sketches to Harpers
promptly every Monday afternoon, land
they are as promptly put into dark
pigeon hole. The Harpers will not
use them nor will they give up the
contract, end hence Artist Mast is in a
queer position. He is now acting as
secretary to the Mann Boudoir Car
company, with an Office on Courtlandt

say he is unhappy and aging very fast.
Funny. isn't it, that man with
