4 Man of violent Temper.

Sir David Baird, man of VIGOROUSLY
violent temper, was one of the prisoners
taken by Hyder Ali. The Oriental des-
pot chained his prisoners two by two and
flung them into the subterranean dun
geons of the fortress. The news of this
cruel incarceration, when it reached
England, sent a thrill of horror through
the land: but the sole comment on it
made by Baird's stole mother was: God
help the puir chiel that's chained wi DOR

A FAMILY OF "sHAKERs."

How Worldly Possessions Are Managed
Worship of the Believers"
The Warrensville Shakers make yearly
reports to the elders at Union Village,
Ohio, and are visited yearly by them.
Each family is in charge of an elder
Elder Miner being the head of the Cen
ter family and Elder Watson Andrews at
the head of the North family. The bust
ness of the Warrensville society is in the
hands of trustees All property belongs
to the society as a body, being conse-
Grated to God. and its worldly owner
ship extends as far as the present society
at Mount Lebanon. When a person joins
the society an inventory of his posses
sions is taken. and if he concludes TO
withdraw all Is returned. Ii he chooses
to do so, he can conSecrate the property
and put it into the hands of the church.
Properly speaking, each family settle
ment consists of one large dwelling
house, where all the members have sep
arate rooms, with such other buildings
as their occupations may make neces-
sary Industry is compulsory. Meal
times, bed time, milking time and the
time to rise is signaled on a bell on the
roof of the dwelling-house. If any per
son wishes to be excused from whatever
work he is given to do, he must gain the
consent of the elder.
There are seventeen societies in the
country, as follows: Mount Lebanon,
Watervliet, and Sonyea, in New York;
West Pittsfield, Aver, and Shirley, in
Massachusetts,; Shaker Station, in Con-
necticut; Shaker Village, and Enfield, in
New Hampshire; Alfred and West
Gloucester. in Maine; Pleasant Hill and
South Union, in Kentucky; and Water
vliet, Whitewater, Union Village and
North Union, in Ohio.
The worship of the Believers, it is pur-
ported, was supernaturally revealed to
Mother Ann Lee. 1t is principally
marching and singing, as is hereafter
described. A Westinghouse is built at
every settlement. The women occupy
one half and the men the other half
The elder has charge of the services, and
speaks to the people. The members give
their Testimony" when so inclined. Lit
tie is done in the way of oral prayer.
The Shakers believe that every breath
should be a prayer"-that prayer is a
feeling impossible to express in words.
Before and after each meal they kneel at
ing the dancing is conducted by the men
and women first arising and standing in
two separate rows. They march back
ward and forward, singing earnestly,
and when sufficiently warmed up, arms,
heads, and bodies keep time with the
beating of the footsteps. Visitors were
| often attracted to the Westinghouse by
those peculiar exercises, and the levity
that they nearly always displayed re-
suited in the doors being closed to all
outsiders who appeared to be actuated
| by curiosity. The origin of the name
shakers" is apparent. The fact that ii
was first used, and is yet in any but re-
spectful way, did not prevent the serene
Believers from recognizing it, or even
from giving it the dignity of actual
adoption.-Cor. Cleveland Leader.

The SWANS Sweet Death song.

The notion that the swan sings sweetly
at the time of his death probably orig
mated in the swan being identified with
Orpheus. We read that after his
death, Orpheus, the musician. became
swan. Thus was it the bird Of Apollo,
called the bird of music of the Greeks. "

Street Railway Accident.

An accident occurred which may re-
suit seriously occurred on the East Com
MERGE street line Yesterday afternoon
about 3 o'clock three year old child
of Mrs. W. II. Steele. wife of LaSalle
county fockmaster, was playing upon
the street car track near the Farmers
Drug Store. Mr.. Blair, the druggist,
saw the child and called TO it to run
away, fearing it would be hurt. He was
called into his drug store hurriedly and
after he was again at leisure he saw that
an accident had occurred to the child,
which was brought to his drug store, and
DR.. G. G. Watts was summoned. That
gentleman pronounced the child as SER
iously hurt. That it had been run over
and its collar bone broken and left lung
badly hurt. Some witnesses state that
1t is not known if the child fell off the
car or was playing on the track and was
run over, but Earl, the car driver, set
ties this point by saying he was inside
the car at the time counting fares on his
book and did not notice the child until
after the accident.

Notwithstanding the difficulties Mr..

thorough knowledge of what his many
customers need, Mr.. Wolfson has laid in
an assortment of all the different styles

prices; these varying from the lowest up

Matters about the International and
Great Northern Railway yards are quiet
and dull. No news could be gathered
except that meetings have been held by
the local assembly of the Knights OF La
Dor, in which the situation was dis
cussed but their conclusions. If any
have been arrived at, are unknown.
Freight is being received and trains go
out north and south to carry all offered,
which is very little, as no guarantees
against delays are given. The trains
leaving here get to Taylor all right, but
beyond that point the progress Is uncer-
tain.
The express companies are the bene-
ficiaries OF this strike, as all freight that
has to be put through on time and can
possibly stand the rates, is being shipped
by express. In the freight office in this
city three clerks out of eight are laid off
for want of employment, and five
freight handlers. The yard is empty of
cars, and all business is transacted that
is offered under the conditions named.
Passengers from the north report every
thing quiet. Just beyond the San Mar
cos bridge an effigy was seen hanging to
a telegraph pole supposed to represent
Mr.. ii. NJ. HOXie, and which has been
there for several days.

He got of the train at Dryden and in
handling his saddle bags his pistol
dropped out, exploded and the ball en-

and passed entirely through him. He
was taken care of and medical aid given
him until the down train passed when
he was placed aboard and arrived in this
city yesterday. He was Immediately
taken to the Santa Rosa hospital aud
medical aid summoned. 1t is thought
the wound is very dangerous. He is
brother of Cole Lyons, OF Pleasanton,
and is said to be an excellent young man,
with hosts OF warm friends.
