A Grateful Dog.

Captain Burton. the Oriental trav-
eler, is British consul at Trieste, the
Austrian seaport He and Mrs. Bur-
ton are in the habit ofspending two or
three days each week at rustic inn
in the mountains above Trieste. Willie
there, an interesting incident occurred
which showed the gratitude of a dog.
The landlord of this inn had dog
of nonde>cript breed, but with great
deal of ccnee and grateful ntarC, ai.u
be attached himsrlf very warmly to lie
English lady and gentleman. whom
he must hasc recognized as friends Of
his race.
The landlord, who was probably
aware that too much meat is not good
for dogs, US { to be in the habit Of
him up on Sundays, lest he
should 60 from table to table and be
overled 10y the visitors.
Mrs. Burton tried to mitigate this
hardship by saving her own scraps
and taking them to the dog, that he
might not think himself forsaken
and he quite understood her kind mo-
tive.
Now it haI pened one week that
Captain Burton was taken i'll at this
mountain inn, and was obliged to re-
main there three whole days in bed.
His four footed friend knew and i'll
terpreted it after his own fashion, and
the method of this doggish reasoning
was this: | used to be shut up tina, [
might not have any meat, and Captain
Burton is now being treated just the
same
So when his master threw him some
meat. he did not eat it, though he took
it in his teeth and growled ferocious
ly if any one offered to come near him
By-and- by, when he saw the way
clear, he took the food in his mouth
and trotted off to his friends bedroom
door, where be sat very patiently till
some one opened it to come out.
This was the dogs opportunity, and
he rushed in, jumped on the bed, laid
the meat down within reach of his
mouth, lick, d his hand, and trotted
away again.
His meaning could hardly have been
clearer if he had been able to talk;
and you will not be surprised to hear
that his friends adopted him as one
Of their own circle, and having so good
master and mistress is now one of the
happiest dog in the world.

A Race With a WhirlWind.

A remarkable and thrilling incident
of Tuesdays storm was related to the
rel orter by Il person who was travel
,ng Oh "a train of the Chester and Le-
noir Narrow Guage Railroad at the
time the incident occurred. The train
had passes Lowerysville and was speed
ing in the direction Of Lincolntcr,
when all on board were startled by
roaring sound that could be distinctly
heard above the noise Of the train, and
on glancing back they saw an immense
whirlwind tearing along the railroad
track, following directly behind the
train at rapid rate. The engineer
was among the first to see it, and re-
allizing what the consequence would
be should the whirlwind overtake the
train he pulled the throttle wide open
and an exciting race begun. The
whirlwind was not more than 500 yds.
behind the train, and the anxious pas
sengers soon became aware Of the fact
that it was gradually gaining upon
them. There were several ladies in
the car and they cried and carried on
at terrible rate, while the men dane
ed about the car in their excitement,
vainly yelling at the engineer to put
on more steam. The race was kept up
in this way for two miles, when the
train turned curve in the road. AS
the whirlwind struck the curve it left
the railroad track, speeding its way
straight on through the fields. At the
time it left the track it was not more
than 800 yards behind the train. 1t
was a thrilling race and all the pas
sengers blessed that curve from the
bottom of their hearts.-Charl0tte Ob-
serrer.

A Bohemian observer, Mr.. Robert
Haen<el, of Reichenberg, has succeed
ed in accurately photographing flash
of lightning. His pictures of which
he has taken several, show the light
of the flash under the form of long,
continuous sparks, traversing the at
mosphere. With the spark the land
scape also is well produced and means
is given for estimating the length of
the luminous train, which in one in
stance is calculated to be 1,700 metres,
or more than one mile. Wheatstone
demonstrated by direct experiments of
great ingenuity that single flashes of
lightning do not last more than a
millionth part of a second. We may

O'Clock the guards on duty at Riverside
penitentiary discovered flames issuing from
hat portion occupied by Warden Wright as
a residence. The sounding of the alarm
quickly brought. the fire department, but
meantime the flames had gained consider
able Roadway, and before they could be sub
dued the building was damaged to the extent
of $4,000. The news that the penitentiary was
burning spread rapidly and created intense
excitement. Rumors circulated that several
prisoners were hurt and others had escaped,
but these reports proved unfounded, in fact
prisoners were not aware of the fire until the
flames were extin guished, as the warden's
residence is separate building, connected
with the prison by bridge. The fire was
caused by defective flue.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "a In the circuit
court of the United States, for the eastern
district of Pennsylvania, Judges McNinna
and Butler on the bench, argument was
heard to-day on the motion for the injunc-
ton against the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany by the Baltimore q Ohio Railroad com
pany. to prevent the former from carrying
into effect a notice terminating the traffic
relation between the two companies, so far
as relates to the transportation of passenger
and express cars of the Baltimore d Ohio
over the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company between Pennsylvania and New
York. The Pennsylvania railroad in its ar
gument held that it could not be presumed
that foreign corporation which had received
no authority from the state to do any bust
ness whatever with its leader could
run its ears and collect its tolls
over the highways of the state.
The language of the legislature
is that the Pennsylvania railroad shall trans
port the ears of connecting lines. The Bal
tlmore d. Ohio railroad was not a connecting
line. 1t had no track nearer than Baltimore
to the lines Of the Pennsylvania railroad at
Philadelphia. 1t had been clearly shown by
the affidayits of President Roberts that extra
ordinary facilities had been offered the Bal
timore 81 Ohio Railroad company over the
Pennsylvania railroad lines, and the former
had had use Of the terminal facilities of the
latter, which had not been accorded any
other company, and this had been done in
the hope it would not construct a competing
line parallel to the lines owned and con
trolled by the Pennsylvania railroad. As
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company,
however, were now building such competing
line, it was thought due to the shareholders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company to
Withdraw these exceptional facilities from
the Baltimore d Ohio. 1t could not be sup
posed that the court would declare that a
foreign corporation had the right to use the
facilities of a road TO build up its business,
which it would turn over to its own lines as
soon as they were completed. The court
took the papers and reserved decision.

1T the Temple.

The event was first celebrated with ap-
propriate services at the Hebrew
synagogue on Tenth street, the Rev. Rabbi
Weschler officiating. The services com
menced at 73O O'Clock and were partici-
pated in by quite a large congregation.
After Divine PRAYER and the reading Of the
Tooth psalm and other Scriptural selections,
a selection was sang by the choir, the music
being especially beautiful. One selection,
son, God, Our Father" by duo was notably
fine, being rendered by soprano and alto
voices.
Rabbi Wechsler then spoke of the eminent
life Of Sir Moses Montefore.
The day, he said, was not one designated
in the religious calendar; it was not COM
memorlted for lis illustrious events, and yet
the event celebrated was one that exacted the
homage Of all people, from the farthest east
10 the vest; it was not celebrated alone by
Israel, but all who honored the best instincts
and deeds oEhumanity paid homage to the
centenary celebration Of one Of the noblest
Of mankind. This eminent and truly
good man was born October "a, 1884
be was descended from an illustrious ances-
try, but in the progressive spirit Of the age
he was eminently English; he early identified
himself with the order of Judaism, being one
of the most distinguished members Of the
order in London. He was early recognized
as public leader, as shown by his great work
III London. He married in 1912, and his
wife had indeed been more precious than
pearls, and he has had the cooperation
Of good and true woman
throughout his philanthropic career.
They meditated together now they might ac-
compish the most good for mankind. Seven
times he had journ eyed to Palestine; he had
looked upon Jerus lem and had shed bitter
tears at its vanished glory; he had meditated
on the ruins of Zion and had implored God
to be merciful To his children. His ear had
always been open to the cry of anguish and
the wants Of the oppressed; in discording
scots and nationalities he had come up to
the full measure of mans usefulness Only
recently he had purchased large tracts of land
in Jerusalem on which he had established
colonies Of cO-rcligiOnists. His humane
neart and hand had also gone out to relieve
the prosecuted Jews Of Russia, and he had
been mainly instrumental in relieving the
sGleriEgs of his co-religionists in that I'M
happy land. Whenever appealed to he had
had always been ready and foremost to as
sist. IN closing the speaker deducted the
benign influences that cmanated from such
q noble life, life that had been
dedicated 10 the relief and
elevation of his fellowman. Each
person he said might make his life i'm
mortal by following in his humble sphere this
great example. The world paid willing
homage 60 such man, and all should en-
dcayor alike TO perpetuate his name and SER
vices. The speaker advocated the establish
ment OF Z society TO be named after the
great phiianthropist, and he announced that
he would organize society with tie help Of
the congregation, having in view this OBJ
ject.
