Dignity Upset.


Too much dignity, like too much
pride, is oftimes doomed TO fall, and
instead Of being commended, becomes
the butt of ridicule. F'oote, the En-
glish comic actor, once made a wager
that he would upset the dignity of a
certain head waiter at the principal
hotel in Bath, who had the name OF
being the most digni6ed man in Brit
ain. His experiment and its success
are noted below;
Foote went to the hotel with three
friends-an engineer who had lost an
eye, a cavalry officer who had lost an
arm, and an old sea captain who had
lost a leg. The quartette esconced
themselves in the four corners of the
room and bawled for the waiter, who
came in With more than ordinary as
sumption of dignity as 9 tacit protest
against their unceremonlous treat
mept of him.
"Waiteri" cried the one-eyed engi~
neer, ''come and take off my eye
glass;" adding, as the waiter swelled
with indignation, land while you're
about it. just take out my eye"
"Your eye, sir9' echoed the startled
dignitary.
Yes, my eye; don't you understand
English9 Look sharpl"
Eye-glass and glass>eye came away
together, and the waiter recoDnoltered
them doubtfully as they lay ia the
palm OF his hand, Ike a man cycling
a watch that has suddenly stopped.
Just then the loEg.armed dragoon
shouted in his turn: "Wait3r, take off
my glove; and, now that l think of it,
take off my armH'
Glove and hand gave way at the
first effort and the waiter, appalled, to
see his customers all tumbling to
pieces like a saosalc puzzle, was turn
lag hastily away, when the one-leg
ged sailor roared:
waiter, pull off nay starboard
boot, and you may as well pull of
my leg, tool"
The poor water shudderingly COM
piled, mentally repeating every prayer
he could think OF. Instantly the pre-.
viously leosened straps Of the cork
leg gave way and down went the man
of dignity on hit august back, with
the artificial limb q~uivering in his
clutches.
1t was enough. Forgetting every
thing in his agonized longing to es-
cape from this chamber of horrors,
the ill-starred water, casting a terrid.
ed glance at the fragments which
strewed the carpet, sprang toward the
doors
But before he could reach 1t, Foote
himself-the length and hexibility oil
| whose neck might have aroused the
| envy of an ostrlch-called out:
"Waiter, come and take off my hat,
and while you're at 1t. take off my
headl'
Human nature could bear no more.
The martyred waiter gave one vel
and made bat asingle bound from the
top of the stairs to the bottom, upset
ting not only his dignity, but himself,
so thoroughly that 10 the day of his
death he was never quite his own self
again

The idea that the messengers must go

laughed at by department officials.

A Singular Case.
Maxwell, the Trunk Murderer
Asserts His Name is
Brooks.
Contradictory Statements.

ST. LOUIS, No, Aug. 1S.-A letter,
is published here to-day, dated Sunny
Bank, Hyde, Cheshire, Eng, July IS,
ana signed Samuel N. Brooks, which
speaks of his son, FL. ii. Brooks, hav-
ing left home last January on a bust
ness trip to Ireland, and that no word
had been received from him since. IL
had been learaed, however, that he
had the curate of the adjoining par
ish foI a companion, and thar they
had INDUCED IN various eXtravagances
and that Brooks name had got mixed
up with the ''St. Louis trunk tragedy, y
and also got mixed up with Dr.. Max
well. The letter shows great distress
on the part of the writer, and makes
an argent appeal for information in
regard to the person concerned In the
murder. A part of this letter was
shown TO Maxwell, and he recognized
the signature as that of his father, and
desired the possessor of the letter to
write to MS father and tell him that
he (MaxwelD was innocent of the
murder of Preller, and that he had a
perfectly good defense. In the course
of a conversation Maxwell-or, as he
is now pretty definitely identified,
Brooks-said that Preller was troubled
with insomnia, and that he had pre-
scribed chloroform for him on several
occasions and with benefit, Preller,
however, had heart disease, he said,
and intimated that he had either taken
or had administered to him, on this
occasion an overdose with fatal re-
suits. This viii be Brooks defense
when ne comes to trial.
CARD.
Maxwell publishes a card this after
noon, denying IN toto that he has
given any reporter any outline or
idea of his defence as published here
this morning and referred to in q pri-
vate dispatch. lie furthermore denies
having acknowledged that his name is
Brooks, and says no matter what is
published he will not talk about his
case or give any one any idea what
his defense will be. The letter previ
ously referred to signed Samuel N.
Brooks is genuine. however. 1t was
received here by John D. Vincet a
high officer in the Masonic order.
Mr.. wheel has replied to it and is
daily expecting another letter from
the same person. Maxwell was placed
in the sheriff's custody today and put
in jail.

SURGEON GENERAL HAMILTON, of
the Marine Hospital, says there is as
yet nothing to alarm the people OF
the United States II the reports
coming BY cable of the spread Of
cholera, He is OF the opinion that
the danger to this country is mainly
from cholera in England or in Cuba.
THE transportation OF cattle from
Wyoming to England arouses the En-
glish trade observers to behold new
foes in competition. Recently one
hundred cattle were shipped ty way
of the great lakes from Wyoming,
having first been driven to the latter
point from Oregon. The British Trade
journal states that the dead-meat trade
has proved a failure TO all iutents aud
purposes. Not only does the meat
lose in quality, but the weight shrinks
by more than 8 per cent. The live
cattle trade, however, it regards as a
far more serious matter. The WON.
ing territory also sends from its bor-
ders nearly enough meat to satisfy the
requirements of London, and now
that the northern system Of railways
is finished, transit is comparatively an
easy thing. Three year old bullocks,
Weighing 1000 pounds each, can be
bought at railroad points in Montana
and Dakota for $3.50 per head.
Transportation from Wyoming to
London adds 500 so to this figure, and
at these rates ''it will be found that IN
this trade of supplying London with
cattle from the great prairtes Of the
northwest there is an enormous and
profitable field for enterprise This
low figure is arrived at by direct
shipments, with the intervention OF
brokers, while cattle which are taken
from Bucks to Smithfeld pass through
half a dozen hands before they reach
a retailer.

A BRAKEMAN AvERTs A COLLISION. :
Several years ago was running fast eS

hind time, and if there's anything IN the
world 1 hate, it's to finish run behind
schedule. These grade crossings of one
horse roads are nuisances to the trunk Ines
and we had habit of failing to stop, merely
Stacking up for 'em. At one crossing had
never seen a train at that time OF night,
and 80 rounded the curve out OF the eus
at full tilt. was astonished to see that
freight train was standing right over the
crossing, evidently intending to put 1e"
cars on our switch. I gave the danger
whistle and tried to stop my tram, Dut
had seven heavy sleepers on, and we just
slid down that grade spite of everything
could do. Quicker than / can tell you, the
brakeman on that freight train uncoupie9

his engineer to go ahead, which ne dio
sharply. but barely in time to let US through.
In fact, the pilot of my engine took the
buffer off the rear car. Through that little
hole we slipped, and lives and property
we're saved. Now, that brakeman was only
a common railroader, yet he saw that sltua-
ton at q glance. There wasn't time to run
his whole train off the crossing, nor even
half of it-barely time to pull up one car
length by prompt, quick work. he KEPT
bis wits about him as, venture to say, not
one man in thousand would have done,
and saved nv reputation, if not my life.
He is now a division superintendent on one
of the best roads in this country.-Ch'cago
