RATHER EMBARRASSING.
A Fashionable Lady Mistaken for
Salvation E,nsS,

A certain very stylish young lady, who
drives a good deal, got into a horse-car in
the exclusive suburb where she lives the
other day, wearing her new coachman's
jacket of rather gay red cloth, trimmed
effectively with brass buttons
She was going to make morning call on
friend only few streets away. and as
she wished to show tile young lady her new
requirements, she wore her gay Jacket and
rather striking hat which goes with it.
Scarcely had she seated herself in the car
when an eager-voiced old woman sitting
near said socially:
"You belong to the Salvation army, don't
you?"
The swell young lady was little startled.
but she said ''naow" and turned little
away from her neighbor.
''But you must" persisted the old lady.
''Them's Salvation army Clothes"
Fortunately, by this time the car was at
her friends corner, and, stopping it. the
prosecuted wearer of spring fashions hur-
ried out and into the house and into her
friends arms, where, after a '.good CIV, j,
she rose to a sense of the essentially funny
nature of the Standardization Record.

''Here is something novel in the way of

wife.
The former was desrous of securing the
postmastership at the town in which he re-

He also highly recommended his wife as
a capable, energetic assistant. who would

William Rowe Threatened His
Wife and T'hen Took Poison.
In the little one-story white cottage, sit
ted upon green HILL at No. 200 Arch
street, William Rowe, locomotive engin-
eer about 81 years of age, married and the
father of two small children, became insane
yesterday, and with revolver and knife
began to threaten the lives of his wife and
children. A tragedy was averted by Rowe
changing his mind and taking a dose of
strychnine. Mrs. Rowe, frenzied with grief
and fear, ran over to Davenpurt's s
rug store, corner of Williams and
Mississippi, and told the clerk that
her husband had taken poison: The clerk
gave her twenty grains of sulphate Of zinc
as an antidote. and then telephoned to Drs.
j. II. Murphy. Baker, Richardson and
johnson. Drs. Murphy and johnson soon
arrived with stomach pumps and saved
Rowe's life. The patrol wagon was called,
and Officer Phil Gibbons took Rowe to the
police station, where DR.. Ancker prescribed
medicine to relieve him of fearful pain in
his head. of which he complained. Rowe
acted wild. He did not seem to be de-
spondent. but laughed at everything,
whether serious or amusing, and was some
what violent The officers took him to the
county jail.
Rowe has been married thirteen years
He is good engineer and has run on the
Manitoba, Northern Pacific and Chicago &
Northwestern railroads. Officers Collins
and Jones both fired for him. About last
March he acted mysteriously on his engine
and became apparently insane. He had to
leave the employ of the Northwestern.
Since then he has had no employment His
wife says that the want of employment has
made him fretful and morbid, and that for
the last five years he has frequently threat
ened to take the lives of his wife and
children. though when he is sane he is a
kind husband. His father is the real estate
man, John Rowe. who ownes considerable
property on Seventh street, near Minnesota,
and lives on Westminster street.
An old engineer states that railroad en-
gineers are liable to such fits of insanity,
caused by the continuous strain of mental
worry, apprehension of danger and over
