The Way Two Ladies Managed . Delicate
Baltimore Sun.
The manner in which the pension CT
fee at Chicago was recently transferred
from the control of Miss Ada Sweet to
her successor, Mrs. Marian A. Mulligan,
presents a commendable exhibition Of
official courtesy. Miss Sweet was at her
desk at 9 o'clock in the morning, when
her successor arrived. She arose and
greeted Mrs. Mulligan with great cor
diality. After the exchange of courtesies
Miss Sweet rendered Mrs. Mulligan her
chair, and in q formal manner SURE ii.
cred to her the pension agency. Mrs.
Mulligan in very graceful language
thanked Miss Sweet for the information
in regard to the duties of the Office
which she had already given to her, and
her promise of any future assistance in
her power. Mrs. Mulligan wished Miss
Sweet as great success in her new veu-
ture as she had achieved in the admin
tration of the pension office. The twp
ladies grasped hands. Miss Sweet bads
Mrs. Mulligan good morning. The trans
fer of the pension agency had occurred
before any of the clerks were aware of
the fact. Mrs. Mulligan found in the
sub-treasury $3.50, 900 subject to her check
as pension agent.

Last Saturday night two gentlemen a.
rived post-haste at the residence of Rev.

services were urgently requested to tie
knot on the place Of Mr.. Stokley, q few

years.
Atchison Globe: The proprietor of he
kotel at Willis, man named Sanford,
was found dead this morning at I o'clock,
in barrel used to catch rain water from
the roof. As he threatened to commit
suicide, it is supposed that he deliberate

Independence Star: Since Judge
Brewers decision that the title of the
NJ. z. & T. railroad to q lot of contested
lands in Allen county was not good,
hundreds of filings have been attempt
ed to be made at the land Office here for
those and other railroad lands along
that road affected by that decision. Ow-
ing, however, to the fact that an appeal
has been taken, and the case is to 60 up
to the supreme court for final adjudica-
ton, the settlers will have to wait, per-
haps, three or four years longer before
they will be in a position to secure
patents to their lands. Indeed, we un-
derstand it will require an act of con-
gress to open the lands to settlement
after the case is concluded in the courts.
Winfield Courier: Charley Bell, the
twelve-year-old son of VIM. Bell, living
near this city, hitched up the team and
with three other boys went to Silver
creek after barrel of water. They
drove into the creek, filled the barrel
and started back. As they came up the
bank and out of the timber, one of the
horses scared, made a sudden spring,
throwing Charley Bell out at the back
of the wagon, which had no tailgait,
against stump. The water barrel fol-
lowed with great force, the edges strik-
ing him on the left side IF the head, just
above the temple. The skull was crush
ed in horribly. He was picked up total
ly unconscious and died in half an hour.
Before he died, his brains oozed from
bis mouth and nose and several pieces
of skull were taken out of his mouth. 1t
was a terrible death, and set the family
wild with grief.

ALL HASH TO HIM,
Boston Record.

Boston Record.
The daughter of Boston merchant
of great wealth. wide mercantile connec-
tons and boundless hospitality was late
ly married. The western agent of the
merchant happened to be in town, and,
as the proud fater was inviting about ev-
erybody to his daughters wedding, he
invited the westerner too.
The westerner came. He was uneasy
and shifted about from place to place in
the house as if he were hunting for spots
that fitted him better than those he had
been in. He put his hands nonchalantly
on things and took them off again sud-
denly, as if he found them hot, and
grinned Familiarity at people he had
never seen before, and then suddenly
drew his features back with q CHASTITY
solemnity. 1t seemed to be an occasion
of great and overwhelming novelty to
him.

ago Willie johnson purchased several

They were constantly together; wher-

shared their food together. When the
cat caught q rat she brought it to the
rooster, and the rooster never tired of

however, for him to find such food as the

The kitten and the rooster roost together

A Pretty Girls Plea.

"Oh, officer, let him 20. For Gods
sake, release him. He is my brother.
I'll take care of him; won't Jim? You'll
60 with me? There now, officer, be said
he would. Let him go, won't you,
please?"
The officer paid no attention to the
words of the pretty girl, and when she
saw that her appeals were fruitless she
flung herself on the prisoners arm and
permitted herself to be dragged along
Fifth avenue. She was accompanied by
a lady friend. Both were fashionably
dressed and wore rich jewelry. They
were two very estimable young ladies
who reside on Penn avenue, and the
prisoner in charge of Officer Maloney
was James Cleary, who was arrested for
disorderly conduct.
The sight CT two we'll dressed ladies
and man, who the passers-by believed
were in charge of the policemen, attract
ed an immense crowd, and when the
Central station was reached nearly five
hundred people had assembled.
The prisoner refused to give his name,
and resisted vigorously when officer Ma
loney attempted to lead him to his cell.
He was finally compelled to use force,
and the prisoners sister gave vent to a
piercing scream.
Don't hurt him. He'll go with YOU"
she cried.
The officer stopped, but Cleary woul
not move from the spot. A turnkey as
sisted Maloney in taking the man to u
cell as gently as possible, but Miss Cleary
thought that they would beat him. She
shrieked, cried, waved her arms fran.
tically, and threw hereelf against the
iron door leading to the cell room with

There, now, they're going to beat

before. wont some of you men help

Everybody expressed sympathy and
pity for the girl, and several men pressed
forward and peered through the iron
bars. They saw that Maloney and the
turnkey were reasoning with Cleary In.

lady so, but she continued her rawlings
and leaned her head on her arms and
wept Historically.
The complainant against Cleary was

GerOnimO's Gallantry.

An idea of the daring and re:ource of
been corrupted by the vices of civiliza-
ton may be gained from the recent ex-
plot of Geronimo, the Apache chieftsin.
This Indian broke away from Fort
Apache several months ago, taking with
him band of warriors. Passing por-
ton of their time in Old Mexico, the saw
ages have made frequent raids on this
side of the border, killing and plumber
ing, but always escaping the troops.
1t was discovered that Indians had en-
tered the reservation at Fort Apache
during the night and taken two squaws
away. At first it was not known that
the women were of any importance to
anybody, but when it was discovered
that they were Geronimo's wives an in
vestigation was made and the conclusion
was reluctantly forced upon the whites,
that the chief had actually entered the
reservation and made off with the wo-
men. To do this he had to evade the
military Gordon along the Mexican Dor
der, traverse his old trails in New Mexi-
co, dodge the troops posted all along the
Mogollon mountains especially to watch
him, and from those Businesses descend
under cover of the darkness to the fort
and pass by the quarters of the COM
mander to the place where his wives
were. In coming and going the willy
savage committed many depredations,
and when last heard from was in Old
Mexico awaiting another opportunity to
croes the line. In view of this adventure
on the part of the gallant Geronimo it is
not at all surprising that the perturbed
settlers of the far West, who do not feel
secure in the possession of their top hair
e-om ons days end to another, should
pathetically inquire, as they frequently
do: "Where are the troops?"

GETTING EVEN WITH LORILLARD.

Recent publications descriptive of
Pierre Lorillard's sixteen hundred acre
farm here, writes Jobstown, N. j., cor
respondent to the New York Sun, recall
q story of the millionaire's experience
with q land owner several years ago.
When Lorillard was buying the farms
which he confined into his present one
there remained in the midst of them
q sixty acre tract of white oak timber,
owned by the proprietor of 6 country
tavern in the neighborhood, which his
agent could not secure. Finally Loril-
lard himself came down to open nego-
tiations. He failed to find the tavern
keeper at home on Saturday, but the
next day the latter, having concluded to
sell his sixty acres, went up to the farm
to see LOrillard's agent and arrange the
terms. He drove unconcerndly past q
sign:
mo admittance on Sunday" on the
big gates. Lorillard, who did not know
him, saw him driving up to his house,
and, striding to meet him, called out
"What gate did you come in a.?"
The driver pointed to the one behind
him.
"Well, you go right back out Of that
same gate! Can't you read sign when
you see it?"
The man turned without q word and
drove of, deaf to the calls of the agent,
who had come up just after LorllIard
had ordered the man off.
Next morning Mr.. Lorillard drove over
to the tavern to explain his mistake and
buy the land.
As he came in the land ord met him.
"What door did you come in at?" he
exclaimed, and when the millionaire
pointed to the one he added: "Well,
now, You can go right back out of the
same door just as quick e. you know
howw
The millionaire went.
The Jerseyman, however, did not al
low his little piece of revenue to obscure
his eye for the main chance, for . short
time afterward he consented to let
Lorirard have the timber lot for two OF
three times what it was worth.

Value Of Courtesy.

London Standard.
Good manners never desert q man in
whom they are conspicuous; for they are
not like good clothes, which can be put
on or off at pleasure, but are rather to be
compared to q good conscience, which is
the outcome of all that man has been
in the past. Voltaire states that Louis
XIV. never passed even . chambermaid
without touching his hat, and always
stood uncovered in the presence of q
lady. This Difference wassimply because
"he, as q gentleman, habitually recog.
nized the right of every woman to re-
spect and courtesy" Good manners are
largely dependent upon sympathy and Q
sensitive regard for the feelings of 9TH
ers. They teach the poesessor the happy
art Of setting everybody with whom he
comes in contact at ease, and they arm
him with social tact which prevents
him from making any man conscious of
his own inferiority. No amount of effu-
sive talk can make amends for the alb
sence of genuine sympathetic interest,
and ordinary shrewdnees IL enough to
detect the social hypocrisy which seeks
