Yesterday a little knot of theatrical
people were rehearsing their varied ex-
periences in the ''shOw business" as they
sat socially in the box office of Whites
theatre, when Mr.. White carefully opened
a little tin box and took therefrOm pro-

a phantom Train.


A singular freak of a train at Montpelier
one night this week is reported. The
train leaves that station at 3:15 a. M,
and stands on the track for two hours or
so before that time, with no employees on
it. Waterman calls the engineer at 3
o'clock, and was just returning from that
errand, on the night in question, when. to
his surprise, he saw the train draw slowly
out of the station. Help was at once
summoned, and pursuit was begun with
teams. The runaway was found
standing just on curve
some five miles from Montpelier.
Why the train started is a mystery. When
found there was but thirty pounds of
steam on, and the lever was only one
notch ahead of the "centre." The only
person on board was a passenger, man
who sat reading in one OF the passenger
cars. He had no intimation that anything
was wrong until the train came TO
standstill, when he FASTENED forward TO
the cab and found it deserted, He then
sought the nearest farm house for a Ian
tern, and was just returning when the
pursuers came up. No person is known
10 have been near the train save the pas
senger. and he is known to have had moth
ing to do with the runaway.

Guessed He'd Go In Swimming.
Vat<rbary Anserican.


He is not the President of the Fat Mems
Association, but he is a member of that
honorable society, and he Is away up
among the heavy weights. too. He does
business on Main street, and can "sling
things" as fast as the next man. But
Saturday was an unlucky day tor him.
He went out on the sidewalk to empty
nod of ashes, and was just about to show
bis dexterity to the bystanders by throw
ing them clear across the street, when his
feet slipped and he sat down. People a
few blocks away who felt the jar were
uncertain about what had happened, but
thought that possibly the new bridge had
fallen, or that boiler had exploded in the
vicinity. He held on to the coal hod, how
ever. and it came down with its contents
on his head and shoulders, and, as he
turned his coat wrong side out and reached
down his back for a cinder, he remarked
that he never did care much about sliding
on the ice anyhow, and as the weather
was warm he guessed be would go in
swimming.

How They Choose a senator in Kentucky

A special from Frankfort to the Louis

The scenes in the headquarters during

There is a spirit of good nature and
knightly kind of courtesy that is truly re-

''The hOnah is reciprocated."

the visit will be repaid. There are no

About Rufus Hatch.

A correspondent of The Day. st.
Paul, publishes what it purports to
he an interview with a prominent
New Yorker, who is 4 personal ana
business friend of Rufus Hatch. The
interview relates principally to Ru-
fus Hatch, and says that he lost $780,
900 in the Northern Pacific drop
last summer, and that loss.
es in other schemes have completely
stranded him. The same New Yorker
says that Henry Willard saved two
million out of the wreck of his for.
tunes. Referring to the National
Park Improvement company, he says:
"The company comprises Rufus
Hatch of New York; John Douglass,
special United States treasury agent
of St. Paul; his son, Henry F. Doug
lass. post trader 1T Standing Rock.
Dakota, Sitting Bulls agency; State
Senator Gilfllan. of Minneapolis; Car.
roll T. Hobart, of Minneapolis, and
George Ely, Il friend of Hobart's. of
Lyme, Conn. Rufus Hatch put $780,
| 600 in the company, and the remain.
ing partners named, with the excep-
tion of young Douglas, invested 1000
apiece. Henry F. Douglas paid in
$l 900 at the outset and later on he
guaranteed debt of ST. .26O. at time
| when he believed the affairs and
finances OF the company to be in
flourishing condition. And when the
bottom fell out Of the scheme, he
came to the front and paid the amount
he had guaranteed, like a gentleman.
Last April Douglas and Hobart offered
Hatch. through me, $F85,OOO for his
Yellowstone interest. He regarded
this offer as an attempt to rob HIM cut
of $4l 900, and so he would not trade;
and there the matter rests. Rufus
Hatch has been a cats paw for a num-
ber of western men and speculatQrS,
nothing more. Northern Pacific rob-
bed him shamefulIy. and we'll he was

Bad Beef.

The st. Paul people are very much
exercised over the diseased meat qnes-
ton. They say that all the Montana
beef sold in st. Paul is diseased. The
theory of the health officers is that
cattle become sick on the long road
from Montana to Chicago and when
they reach st. Paul. to save them from
dying and becoming total loss, they
are dumped off. killed and the infam-
ed, fevered meat placed on the st.
Paul market. They say Montana
mutton sold there is in tnuch the same
condition for identical reasons. The
authorities will take active measures
to prevent the sale Of u:h meat.
