Police Sergeant Brooks, who nour-
ished the Department of Information at
infancy and brought it up to be neces-
sity at the New York Police Headquar-
ters, has compiled a statistical table.
which is interesting as tending to show
how erratic are the habits Of some Of
Gotham's people. 1t is to this depart
ment that all mysterious disappearances
are reported The method adopted to
discover persons lost is to telegraph a
description to all police precints, exam
inc the records at the morgue and hos
pitals and inform the press. From Ser
geant Brooks table it is learned that
about 600 persons are reported as miss
ing each year. Of these 100 are between
the ages of fourteen and twenty, 200 be-
tween twenty and thirty, 100 between
thirty and forty, 100 between forty and
fifty and 100 fifty and over. About sew
enty-fve per cent. are males and belong
to the poorer classes An average Of
ninety per cent is accounted for. The
causes of disappearance are domestic
difficulties, home restraints, lack of
work, debauches, mental alteration and
occasionally defaults and embezzle-
ments.

This is great country and in nothing
greater than the diversity and emarkable
originality of the names bestowed on
some of the towns. Sometimes these are
embarrassing, but the San Francisco
Chr0niele shows how unpleasant sugges-
tions may be avoided: sSome day when
the people begin to study the nomenela-
ture of this country they will be puzzled
considerably to tell where some of the
names came from. Quite likely they will
go clear away back centuries before '49
and prove that America must have been
known to the ancient Assyrians. There
will be lots Of fun for the future archaoI-
ogists. There is a station on one of the
railroads, and town with church,
saloon and the usual camp followers OF
civilization, which bears the euphonious
name of Eltop:a. The ancient Greeks
may, perhaps, be held responsible for it
in the future, but the plain fact is that
congregation and minister wandered out
to that place and found it all too incor-
venient to address their religious reports
from place bearing the name given to
it by the miners of s.Hell to Pay,n so
they changed it into Eltopia."

THE WORLD FROM THE SIDE
WALK.

Did you ever stand in the crowded street,
In the glare of the city lamp,
And list to the tread of the million feet
In their quantity musical tramp?
AS the surging crowd go to and fro
'Tis pleasant sight, ween,
To mark the figures that come and go
In the ever-changing scene.
Here the publican walks with the sinner
proud,
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks in the motley crowd
With Lazarus, cheek by jowl;
And the daughter of toll, with her fresh
young heart
Aspure as her spotless fame,
Keeps step with the woman who makes her
mart
In the haunts Of sin and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst Of the city's ills,
As freshly pure as the daisied grass
That grows on her native hills;
And the beggar, too, with his hungry eye,
And his lean, wan face and crutch.
Gives blessing the same to the passer-by
AS he gives him little or much.
When time has beaten the worlds tattoo,
And in dusky armor dight
is treadlng with echoless footsteps through
The gloom Of the silent night,
How many of these shall be daintily fed
And shall sink to slunbsr sweet,
While many will go to sleepless bed
And never crumb to eat!
An, mel when the hours go joyful by,
How little we stop to heed
Our brothers and sisters despairing cry
In their wee and their bitter needt
Yet such world as the angels sought
This world of ours we'd call.
If the brotherly love that the father taught
Wac felt by each for all.
Yet few short years and this motley
throng
VIII all have passed away,
And the rich and the poor and the old and the
young
van be undistinguished clay;
And lips that laugh and lips that mourn
Shall IN silence alike be sealed,
And some win lie under stately stone,
And some in the potter's field.
put the sun will be shining just as bright,
And SO will the silver moon,
And just such crowd win be here at
night,
And Just such a crowd at noon;
ana men will be wicked and women win
sin,
AS ever since Adams fall,
WIN the same old world to labor in,
And the same God over all

Why the Irish Like Green.

old Irish language The sun, in Irish, il
called by word pronounced ike cur

Irish fondness for that color arose from.

their word for the sun. In the same way,
when we talk about greenhouses, we
think they are called 50 because The
plants are kept green in them during

Sad Fate Of a YOUNG LADY.

In Aspen, Col, a party Of young ladies
climbed to the top of the fire bell tower,
sixty feet high, to obtain good view Of
the city. Eppa Stewart stepped to the
edge Of the tower, and was leaning
against a corner post, looking over the
country, when the janitor, not knowing
of the presence Of the ladies, seized the
bell rope to call a meeting Of the fire
company. The sudden clang Of the
great bell startled Miss Stewart, and she
plunged from the dizzy height to the
pavement. She was carried into neigh
boring house, when it was discovered
that both legs were SO badly crushed
that the feet had been driven to within q
few inches Of the knee. The bones Of
her left arm were broken into splinters.
and five ribs on the right side were
broken and torn loose from the spine
She was alive when picked up, but her
death occurred soon after.

Farm lands in England continue to de-
crease in value so much in extent as to
cause serious alarm over there. The
loans made on mortgages by large
moneyed institutions are above the value
of the estates, SO that they cannot be
converted into cash, and the credit Of
some of the institutions is in consequence
gradually though steadily being i'm
paired. Even the best property of that
kind is affected by the financial depres-
sim. A very desirable estate near Castle
Howard was lately offered at auction, and
1000 was the best bid, although, seven
years ago, it sold for e12, 500. A singu-
lar fact, that, Notwithstanding the
troubles in Ireland and the depreciation
of agricultural interests there, land in
certain of its districts is in more demand
than in the English counties. Some of
the local newspapers, indeed, declare
that the primary cause of all the agrarian
disturbances of Ireland is due to the
oveIbidding for land. But there are so
many and SO contradictory opinions con-
corning the present adversities in Great
Britain that it is impossible to tell to
what they are attributable.

A HEROIC DEFENSE.

NINE INDIANS KEPT AT BAY BY MAN
AND WOMAN.
Ii the heroes and heroines of the last
fifteen years Of Indian warfare in the
West had their names and deeds em-
blazoned on the pages of current history
the world could furnish no more glorious
record Of heroism Here and there :
name is known and record Of thrilling
experience is given, but the great major
ity will live on unknown to the world at
large, Or sleep their last sleep in graves
unmarked and unhonored.
One forenoon of a May morning a
stockman named George Webber was
riding along the south bank of the Loun
Fork, in Western Nebraska, in search
OF stray stock, when he was 6rei mon
rom grove by Indians who had
broken away from one of the apen-
cies in the west. Half a dozen
shots were fred in yolley, and Web
Der was hit in the calf of the right
leg, in the right SIDE, and raked across
the shoulder, and his horse was also
wounded. AS soon as the shots were
'lred nine mounted Indians dashed out
and Webber put his horse at the top of
Its speed and headed for the ranch of
Charles Moss, about four miles up. the
river and on the same side. For the first
mile Webber had no hope, as the Indians
were clsse enough to use their revolyers
and arrows, and his horse was a common
animal A score or more of bullets were
fred at him, and fully twenty arrows
tipped past him, but the wound his ami
NAL received, aided by the continued
shouting Of the red skins, made him pull
out like born race horse. He soon began
to widen the distance, and when he dashed
up to the ranch Webber was fully half
mile ahead. His shouts as he nearea
the place gave the alarm, but to his dis
may he dashed up to be informed by
SIrs. Moss that she was the only one
about the place, her husband and his man
living gone away an hour before.
The cabin stood on rise Of ground
about twenty rods from the stream, and
could be approached from any side. The
Indians halted at long range t. see who
was about the place, and this gave
Webber time to make explanations and
20 little planning. He knew his pur-
suers were bad" Indians, who had
skulked off the reservation, and realized
that if he could keep them off for an
hour or two reinforcements would come
to him or the enemy would withdraw for
fear Of their identity being discovered.
'sWhat arms have you gotq" he asked,
after explaining the situation.
A Colts revolver
II have Winchester rifle. We must
hold 'em off until aid comes Help me.
off.
The woman assisted him to alight,
and he gave his horse slap and sent the
animal galloping off up the trail. Some
Of the Indians pursued, but without avail.
The first white man whom the horse en-
countered would understand that some
thing was wrong, and that his assistance
was asked for down the trail.

After his assistants had arranged sew

from which issued the howls Of several
imprisoned dogs, DR.. E. o. spitzka vas

He read paper based on his expert
ments in incubation for rabies. He said
that hydrophobia was as yet but imper-
fectly understood. He doubted if any
such disease existed in man. Among
dogs most cases ofso-called rabies were
Of very doubtful character. The New
ark pound keeper died from fear and
starvation, and not from hydrophobia
-Four Of the Newark dogs victims were
sent to Pasteur and returned to show
themselves in dime museums. Two
Others who were not sent to Paris have
never shown any symptoms Of hydropho-
bia, and two dogs which the same dog
bit did not die.
Dogs do not go mad-insane-a hu-
man beings do; but Dr. Spi.zka called it
epileptic delirium, epidemic meningitis,
or some other malady Of the brain due to
readily discoverable causes. He sus-
pected that the dog that bit Miss Moro
SIM was not mad.
He believed that Pasteur had never
had case Of genuine rabies. He had
himself produced in dogs all the symp-
toms described by Pasteur as peculiar to
hydrophobia, and some Of those dogs
still live, and were produced last night.
One dog he inoculated with soft soap
that is he introduced soft soap into its
brain, and all the symptoms of hydro
phobia were produced, and the dog died
as mad as possible. In another, the
spinal marrow Of calf, the meat of
which had furnished the Doctors family
dinner, had served to kill dog with
apparent hydrophobia. while other dogs,
into whose brain he had injected the ac-
tual poison Of alleged hydrophobia cases
had recovered.
He produced four dogs which he had
trepanned. Into the brain Of two Of
them he had introduced the brain Of a
calf; in another case an emulsion Of

enough last night, thought sligtly wob-

even permitted to run at large in the

A dispute arose in an Indian camp
near Stockton Hall, Arizona, recently,
and before it ended buck named Pizzur
with his Winchester rife shot and killed
Ah Quinthe and his squaw, daughter
of Chief Leve-Leve, mortally wounded
another buck and another daughter Of
the chief, and slightly wounded two
other Indians. Then the murderer fled,
pursued by mounted braves. Head Chief
Surrum arrived at the camp soon after,
and his first order was to kill all the rel
atives of the murderer. The sQuaws and
pappooses hurried to the miners camp
near by, and begged hiding places in
their cabins, and this aroused the miners,
who told the chief that he could not
carry out his bloody plan, and that he
must countermand his order. He re-
luctantly complied, but issued fresh
orders to bring Pizzur in at any cost.
In the mean time the avengers were
riding fast after the fleeing murderer,
and followed his trail into the Wallarai
Valley until darkness put an end to the
pursuit. Early next morning they took
up the trail, and, after riding twelve
miles, they came upon the dead bodies
Of the murderer and his horse. It was
apparent that after riding his horse until
he gave out the Indian killed him, and
then, putting the muzzle Of his Win
chester to his right eye, pulled the trig-
ger and cheated his pursuers Of their
anticipated vengeance.

man, after drinking, should turn up

not make it stand on by reason there is
too much, must drink again for his pen
