A Story About Mccullough.

Washington Cor. of Cleveland Leader
When he was here several years ago
he told funny little incident which had
occurred during his acting at Richmond
just before he came here. The story has
been published, but it is forgotten now.
The Lady of Lyons was the play, and
among the players was maiden anna
teur who had the stage on the brain, and
had it bad. She tore passion to tatters,
and threw a fire and fervor into her love
scenes which both amused and excited
the audience. At times she fell from
the sublime to the ridiculous, and where
Claude Melnotte, in the shape of Nc
Cullough, was describing his place on
the Lake of Como, repeating those ten
derest words of Bulwer, the maiden's
bosom was seen to heave, her eyes to fill
with fire, and when he closed with the
tender sentence. ''Prithec, love. dust
ike the picture:' she threw herself into
McCullough's arms, crying out in tones
of superlative affection, "Oh-h-h-h-h!
Claude" lingering sweetness long
drawn out. She then collapsed like
balloon, and hung, as Mccullough said,
like porous plaster to his form.
At this moment disguised newsboy
in the gallery, in the same tones in which
she uttered her last exclamation, howIed
out, ''Oh-h-h, s-l-u-s-h," clapped.
The house came down. The audience
reared, howled, and howled again. Nc
Cullough burst into ha, ha, and nearly
dropped the love sick maiden. The girl,
however, showed no sign of laughter.
She carried out her part, but the next
moment with q caressing gesture thrust
ing her fingers into McCullough's hair at
the side away from the audience, and
pulling a bunch nearly out by the roots,
Kissed in his ear: ''Iow dare you laugh,
sir, at that vulgar remark"
The pain in his head brought the tears
tc his eyes, and Mccullough resumed his
part in the scene of love.

erican scientists.

The Savannah News of recent date,
says: No better evidence of the
wonderful growth of Florida can be
found than that furnished by the
railway postal records. In 1870 the
service from Savannah south de-
manded one clerk, a space in the car
of IL feet, and one trip day, and
the business allowed the clerk ample
time to talk to his friends at the way
stations and to take life easy along
the line. Now postal cars so feet in
length are run twice daily, and are
filled to the very CEILING with mail
matter, requiring four clerks in each
car to work necessarily in order to
properly distribute the immense
amount of letters, papers and other
matter, and even with the present
force it is often impossible to work
the entire mail before the end of the
run is reached. Mail is delivered to
and received from way stations by
means of "catchers," avoiding the
necessity of stopping trains and al
lowing the smaller offices to enjoy
the benefit of the fast mail service.
The mail alone is enormus. There
is probably no state in the Union so
well advertised as Florida. This
people are well supplied with every
variety of trade literature

One OF WOman's Ways.

Did you ever notice how woman
crosses a railroad track? She APP
proaches with great caution, skirts in
hand, and looks anxiously up and
down to see if any trains are approach
ing. She is quite deliberate and
thorough in this look. If there is no
train in sight she usually goes so slow
that one coming along before she has
satisfied herself. Then she falls back
from the track about twenty feet, and
waits five minutes until the train
comes up and whizzes by. Nor does
she step Immediately upon the track.
She is not so reckless. Well does she
know that the train that has just pass
ed is likely to stop suddenly and run
backward. She waits until the dan
ger is over, and then, if no other trains
are in sight, ventures to start. Sud-
denly, behind a freight car, she espies
switch engine standing still. With
a stifled shrek she suddenly retraces
her steps. By this time she is nerv-
Gus. Her eyes roll ON side to side
and her hand trembl,s so violently as
to shake the mud off the skirts of her
dress. No woman crosses railroad
track without getting nervous. She
wouldn't be happy il she did. But
she summons up enough courage to
make another effort. Bending her.
self in the shape of Il letter G she
makes a dive. She S, sly passes one
track, and then anoth and third
and she breathes little easier and
ventures to curb her ace and turn
her head. There on d second track
which she has passed an engine is
pushing some freight cars toward the
crossing. She forgets she has crossed
that track, and again retraces hel
steps. She is now thoroughly excited
and doesn't know which way she il
going. She cant tell whether she hal
crossed the tracks or not. She stands
bewildered. At this juncture y tai

and CALAMITY escorts her across tn,

remarking that "the foin lady has go

Gone night the whistle gave two or
three screams l thought the fire

We felt something tugging at it, bu
we were too strong for it. Suddenly
the throttle was wrenched from ou
hands and pulled out to the utmost
limit. Away bounded the train down
the grade into Altoona, the whistle
shrieking like demon. Before w
could get away from the ghost tn
train had attained great speed, ant
we ran half way through the city be
fore we could slow up. A switchmal
saw us coming and switched us on

Bread for all the people cost in that
