Ways Of Getting Hnrt.

An agent of an accident insurance
company was met the other day when a
reporter said to him, referring to the in
sured: GLOW do they get hurt ?" He
said:
ssNot in the ways you would expect.
For instance we have had here i'll the
last month lawyer who was shot i'll the
face, a commercial traveller who was hurt
playing base ball, a plumber who was
hurt by the bursting of a bottle OF
aerated water, a chemist who fell down
an embankment, a grocer who was bit
ten by dog, a cloth merchant who was
stune by bees, another merchant who
fell off some rocks, an auctioneer who
was bitten by horse, a coal merchant
who fell while dancing, and a restau-
rateur who dislocated his wrist while
getting out of a bath.
Gas exceptions, we have had within
that time a farmer who was gored by a
bull, wine merchant who was injured
while breaking the neck of bottle, and
a surgeon who cut himself while dress
ing a wound"

The Origin of Dixie.
Here is n New-ssriGiR @Of- the Song IN.
Hixie's Land.

On a Saturday night in 1859, when
Dan Emmett was a member of Bryants
Minstrels, New York, Dan Bryant came
to him and said: "Dan, can't you get us
up walk around?' I want something
new and lively for Monday night" Dan
went to work, and by Sunday afternoon
he had the words commencing 81 wish
I was, in Dixie" This expression was
not Southern, but appeared among the
circus people of the North. In early
fall when nipping frosts would overtake
the tented wanderers, the boys would
think of the warmth of the South, and
the common expression would be, "Well,
| wish 1 was in Dixie" This gave the
catch-line, and the rest of the song was
original. On Monday morning it was
rehearsed and highly commended, and
at night crowded house caught up the
refrain and half of them went home
singing Dixie. The song became the
rage, and W. W. Newcomb's, Buckley S
Minstrels and others gave Dan S. each
for the privilege of using it. Mr.. Wer-
lean wrote to Emmett to secure the
copyright; but, without waiting for
a reply, published it with words by a
Mr.. Peters. Pond, of New York, secured
it from Emmett for 5000; but Werlean
sold thousands of copies without giving
him a nickel. Not only was Emmett
robbed of the profits of his song, but the
authorship of it was disputed. Will S.
Hayes claimed it as his own. Pond
brought the matter before music pub
fishers convention, and settled the au-
thorship; but Dan reaped no benefit
from this tardy justice.

A BROKEN HEART.
Miss Maud Crowley's Death Charged to
the Fickleness of Young Allan Arthur,

A Washington correspondent of the
New York World writes:
The news of the death at Lockport,
n. Y, of the daughter of ex-Con-
gresham Dick Crowley has shocked
society people here, where she has
been such a favorite. Nearly year
ago she was engaged to Allan Arthur,
the Presidents son. He broke the en-
gagement without any apparent reason.
The young lady never recovered from
the modification attendant upon that
occasion. During the last year she has
rapidly declined, consumption set in and
as early as last fall the physicians could
give no hope. Miss Crowley was tall,
stylish blonde, who was much admired
during her stay in Washington. When
her father was in Congress the family
lived at the Arlington Hotel. There
were number of young ladies at the
hotel at the time, including the Misses
Ranney, daughters of Congressman
Ranrey, of Boston; Miss Dwight,
daughter of Congressman Dwight; Miss
Camden, daughter of Senator Camden,
and Miss Annie Farwell, daughter of the
millionaire Congressman from Chicago.
These young ladies formed a society
among themselves, and were objects of
a great deal of social attention. The
wealthy Senator Fair gave famous din
ner in their honor, upon which he Law
lshed great sums in the way of display.
The Crowleys were then very intimate
at the White House, and were as intimate
with the President as if they were mem
bers of his own family. They were con-
stantly being entertained by him, and
were his most frequent companions at
dinner. The young ladies of the Airing
ton Hotel were also frequently enter
tanned at the White House. The result
of this intimacy was to bring Allan
Arthur and Miss Crowley very much to-
gether. Young Arthur frequently got
up theater parties to which all the
young ladies would be invited. Parties
were constantly being made up for ex
cursions in various directions. After a
time Allan Arthur singled out Miss
Crowley as the especial object of his at
tentions, and they became engaged.
Miss Crowley then occupied the post of
honor among her young lady friends, as
she had captured the Presidents son.
No one foresaw any obstacle to the
match, as President Arthur and Mr..
Crowley had long been friends upon the
most intimate footing. Suddenly the
engagement was broken off without
word of warning.

The Notable Sam Ward.

The late Sam Ward made and lost
money in various ways, and saw one
fortune after another swept away. A
familiar story told about him is that in
one of his poor spells he was running a
ferry IN California. He made bet that
he could learn to speak the Indian dia-
lect of that region in three weeks. He
shut himself up with an Indian for that
length of time, and by plying the savage
with whisky kept him laxative and good
natured. He won the bet, and said
afterward "It was Just question of
memory and fexibility of tongue"
His astonishing memory enabled him
TO retain every story that he heard. As
to many other stories never heard before,
those were due to his own inventive
genius.
He paid suit to and won Emily Astor,
the daughter of William B. AstOr, the
richest man in New York city. They
We're married on Jan. 26, 1898. She died
three years after their marriage, ieaving
one child, Margaret Astor Ward, who
subsequently married Congressman John
Winthrop Chanler. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Chanler are dead, but a large family
survives them, and these are the sole
descendants of Sam Ward.
MIR. Ward did not long remain a
widower A young lady from New
Orleans, Medora Grymes, daughter of
John Randolph CIR mes. came to New
York and created a sensation 10y her OK
traordinary beauty ana accomplishments.
She was engaged to Frenchman, but
Sam Ward cut out the Frenchman and
was married to her i'll September, 1913.
They had two children, who died young.
Their married life was not happy and
they separated.

A Cave Hunter.

The editor of the Greenfield, Iowa,
,-ReUie1O says:
Everybody out our way has a cave
on his premises. When they see a black
cloud coming the whole family bundle
into the cave, and then In an hour or so
the old man looks to see If the house is
still standing. You have no idea of the
terrible nature of these cyclones. The
first thing YOU notice is a dense black
cloud with ragged edges then the base
of the c,oUd turns a enish-yellOw,
and Won hear an indescnbable roar,
which grows louder until you can hear
nothing else. and the storm is upon you.
Most Of tire houses are constructed of
wood, mary If them with substa utial
cellars. It's funny to see the mothers
gathering mp their children and hurry
ing them into the cellar or cave, but this
precsution has saved many a liGe. I've
hunted cave more than once when [
saw black cloud and heard the storm
coming. ard YOU don't stand on cere-

A Wonderful Business.

No other insurance company in the
world has ever undertaken so vast task
as the work of the Prudential Company.
of London, which holds policies on
about one-sixth of the whole population
of the United Kingdom. The manage
ment of this great company is peculiar
one; but it is the industrial branch of
this phenomenal company's operations
which possesses features most sugges-
tive. The report shows that this single
Office has about 100000 policies in
force, at a premium averaging about
four cents week. These premiums are
called for aud collected every week at
the homes Orshops of the policy-holders,
involving the enormous number of 81.
415,41 calls during the year. As show
ing from another point of view the inc-
mense detail of this peculiar system of
insurance, 1t was stated at the recent
annual meeting, that during the year
1888, as many as 5, 700 of the company's
policy-holders removed every week from
one place or town to another, thus MAX
ing 300, 900 removals in the year, which
required transfers from one agent to an
otho or new minute of changed locality
on the company's books. Then, too
1900 policy-hOlders emigrated to other
countries, the policies still being collect
able i'll England. The claims paid in
1888 amounted to 81, SCI, 666, or about
$87, 500 a week.

The Run on Russell Sage,

The most extraordinary feature of this
period of the panic, says the N. Y,
World, has been the great run on Mr..
Russell Sage, a run by the way which
very few banks could have witbstood
as successfully. Mr.. Sage had for some
time past been issuing an enormous
quantity of ''puts, at prices which he
supposed would amply protect him
against loss, not foreseeing the terrible
depreciation in prices which was TO come
about, and he has paid out some s6 600 :
900 for stocks which have been delivered
to him on those puts, " and has used mn
five check-books. His losses will not
probably amount to as much as this sum
as he will still possess the securities for
which he has paid and if he holds them
which it is said be is quite able to do
their value may appreciate to the amount
which they cost him. At the same
time, at present prices his losses have
been tremendous and no other man save
perhaps Mr.. Gould or Mr.. Vanderbilt
could have stood such drain of ready
cash.

THE JAPANESE IN NEW YORK.
Only Small Colony of Them Adopt Our
Customs Re, IDLY.


Customs re IDLY.
Unlike the Chinese, the japanese
living in New York, says the Sun. have
completely adopted American manners
and customs. They readily learn the
English language, and it can he said of
them that III this country they are
strictly law-abiding persons. In this
city they are nearly al! merchants or
traders In raw silks, tea and lacquer
ware. Many of them came here to
attend our schools and colleges and to
learn trades, and several have official
situations. The number of Japanese in
New York city is fifty. five. The only
female is the wife of the japanese
Consul. In Sixth avenue, near Twenty
first street, is their club house.
The japanese living in the city are,
with few exceptions, the sons of welI-to-
do merchants in Japan. The Japanese
Consul has a list of the names and
addresses of the japanese in the United
States resident or sojourning, and he
knows all about them. The list shows
that more young japanese give them
selves to study of. the profession of the
law than to other branches of study.
They generally come to this country
we'll instructed and informed, and make
very rapid progress in everything they
undertake. They readily comprehend
and are easily taught. On questioning
japanese in regard to learning Ian
guages he said that it was a great deal
easier for an American or European to
learn the japanese language than for the
japanese to learn English, or any
European language.
In n Y. city there are two silk man.
ufacturing establishments, branches of
the Doslin and the Yamato Companies,
and four firms which deal in porcelain
Lackenware, playthings, and other
similar articles, which they import. The
most important article from Japan is,
without doubt, raw silk. Raw silk is
three quarters of the entire Japanese ex-
portation. The silk manufacturing in
dustry has within the last few years re-
ceived. great attention by the japanese
government A few years ago they had
only the most primitive machinery, but
now the best machinery is used. The
expectation of raw silk amounts to u 900
bales yearly. Each bale weighs about
100 pounds.

KraszeMSki,S Sentence.

A petition for the pardon of the Polish
poet, Joseph Ignace Kraszewski, who
was sentenced at Leipsic to three and a
half years imprisonment, is being crcu-
lated in Germany, and is receiving a
large number of signatures. It repre-'
SCENTS that Herr Kraszewski, being sew.
enty-two years old and in feeble health,
could not probably survive the rigors of
so long animprisonment in n fortress.
and that, therefore, he is practically SEN
fenced to death, which is manifestlv I'M
just and barbarous. 1t also submits
that by the sequestration of Herr Kras-
zewski's property the punishment de-
sends to his children and heirs, who
are not charged with any violation of
law.
1t is believed that the movement for
Herr Kraszewski's pardon will probably
be successful if the Polish newspapers
will stop their anti-German rawlings. At

peratlve. one Cracow paper goinq so far
