The POlicenan's Lot.

The Kansos City Tunes says: A horri- ble accident was averted here with some very amusing features. An elegantly dressed and very attractive young lady who wanted to get on the cable car at the Junction took her position between the two tracks to wait for the car. She did not observe that cars were approach ing from both directions, and between the two she would have been crushed to death if 1t had not been for the daring of Officer Blair, on duty at the Junction. The officer did not see the young lady take the position there, but the engineers of both trains began terrible changing of their bells. as it was too late to stop before reaching her.
 Officer Blair saw the predicament, and there was only one chance for a rescue and he took it. He made rush for the lady, grabbed her firmly about the waist, lifted her in his arms and car ried her to the sidewalk as the car drew up to the crossing. It was close call, and the crowd cheered Justify. But the young lady, all unaware of the danger, but angry at what she considered an outrageous indignity, turned upon her rescuer with blazing eyes and rosy, burning cheeks, and eXcIalmed:
 "How dare you lay your hands upon me, you miserable ruffian!" and then she began to shed tears.
 Officer Blair was for moment non- plussed; then he explained that she would have been crushed to pulp if he had not taken her away, and amid his blushes said that the only way he could do so was to pick her up and carry her.
 She thanked him, but only partially forgave him as she entered the car.

S41,OOO IN CASH STOLEN.
Brown Paper Instead Received at
 the U. S. Treasury.

WASHINGTON, May GA discovery was made at the Treasury Department yesterday which, 1t is thought, points to dedication committed at the American Exchange National Bank of New York.
 The express company, in making it's usual deliveries of national bank notes forwarded for redemption, submitted package from the bank named. It bore the usnal label and seals, and purported to contain S41 ,00O. In handling 1t, however, one of the Treasury eX- perts found that 1t was not altogether right, and 1t was temporarily laid aside. Packages containing notes for redemption are usually made up in the most compact manner, but this particular one, while of the right size for the amount it purported to contain, did not seem to be closely packed, and yielded readily to hand pressure.
 It was subsequently opened in the presence of officers of the express company, and found to contain nothing but brown paper. An eS- animation of the sealed label also disclosed that it had been neatly cut from its original place and pasted on the bogus package. The Treasurer refused to receive the package, and notified the bank accordingly.
 The impression at the department is that the bank put up the money for transmission to sthe department, but delayed forwarding it., Sand that while in its custody the package was abstracted and another put in its place bearing all the marks and appearances of the original package.

THE FARMERS' TRUST.
A Big Plan to Control the Distribu-
 tiOn ofPrOductS.

The State Farmers Convention for the or ganizaton of farmers trust, held at Topeka, Kan, was we'll attended, delegates being pres ent from nearly all the Central and Western States. Ex-Gov. Butler, of Nebraska, was Chairman. Col. Walter N. Allen, of Kansas, the originator of the movement, explained at length his plan to form a farmers trust, which shall regulate and control the shipment and distribution of all farm products. Ten central agencies are to be established at Chicago, Cincinnati Kansas City, Indian apolis, Omaha, St. Louis, Cedar Rapids, St. Paul, Milwaukee and Louisville to do all the selling for members of the association The territory tributary to these commercial. points is to be divided into eight principal disl tricts and subdivided into sub-district associa- tions by counties. The principal of each cen- tral agency together with general superin- tendent of the association, is to constitute Executive Board, with power to regulate and control shipments of products on the markets, and to do all other things that shall in their judgment appear to be for the best interest of the association. Agents will be appointed to organize the farmers, stock growers and feed- CTS into district and sub-district organizations, requiring pledges and obligations to obey the orders of the executive board with respect to sale and shipment of produce.
 Addresses were made by Judge Moulton of Missouri, s. T. K. Frame of Illinois, and others.

A California Ostrich Farm.

Dr. A. J. Sketchley, the ostrich breed CT and ostrich feather raiser, has been for some time in Telhama County look ing about for a suitable locality where he may continue to conduct his peculiar stock farm. He had definitely deter mined to locate somewhere within radius of ten miles of Red Bluff, but just where he had not decided until yes- terday, when he bought from Beers Guyro 1000, acres seven miles north of the town and three miles from the Sac- ramento River. The price paid was $50, 1000. He will begin the erection of buildings at once, and the birds will be taken to their new homes with in three weeks. He sold out his noted establishment at Anaheim two years ago, and removed to about sixty miles east of Los Angeles. Here he had just fixed himself and his long-legged friends comfortably, when along came the "boom," and soon the ostrich range became an alluring town site. He promptly accepted the "boom" price offered for his ostrich pasture, and then when he looked about for another To- cality he found high prices still the order. He decided to look further, and few months ago he became satisfied that the upper end of the State offered every advantage for his purpose. A temperate climate, pure air and water, and no possibility of snow, were the things he sought for. He has told the Tehama people that, so far as he can judge, that section of the country, in excellence of climate and atmospheric influences, is much better suited to make ostrich life happy than where he has been located. He want ed @ large. range for his lusty birds, and places of 2,000 acres were the smallest he would look at. The ostrich likes plenty of room, and settlers near are usually willing to give the birds all they desire in this respect. The property offered him ranged in price from $5 to $3O an acre. He has already arranged with the Southern Pacific for several stock cars in which to transport his feathery flock. He is still as enthusias- tic as ever regarding the ostrich-feather industry in which he was the pioneer in this State. He has been successful in hatching and raising many birds, and will fit up his new farm with all neces- sary arrangements for young birds. The place selected is the best that Dr. Sketohley has found in the State, having a climate like that of the Transvaal in South Africa, where he was for ten years engaged ill ostrich farming.

A Neat Bit of Evasion.

Not bad example of an ambiguous answer is reported to the "Listener" by Northern tourist as coming from the pilot of a steamboat on the Georgia coast. The tourist, who is Yankee and was Union soldier, was engaged in an easy conversation with the pilot in Q moment of the latter's relaxation, and the pilot told him certain war remini- scences of an interesting character, without, however, directly intimating that he had any personal part in thcm So the Yankee asked, point blank:

 The pilot gave him a glance which seemed to say, You are too inqui si tive," and then answered.:

THEY SHOT EACH OTHER. A Post master and an Editor Die Pis
 tol in Hand

A despatch from New Orleans recites that the ugly feeling created in Mississippi by the Hamilton Gambrell shooting year ago result ed in double tragedy, in which Gen. Wilt Adams, prominent citizen of that State, and John H. Martin, editor of the Neac Mississip- pidn, were killed. The trouble originated in politics and Prohibition Gambrell, who was editor of the Prohibition organ, abused Ham, llton. They met, exchanged shots, and Gam brell was killed and Hamilton was wounded. The trial of Hamilton, which has been going on for some months past and has just ended in his acquittal has divided the State into two hostile factions. The Martin Brothers, who edited the Neao Mississippian, have assaied Hamilton and his friends, prominent among whom was General Wirt Adams.
 The Ne,o MisSiSsippian contained this as- sault on Gen. Adams:
 ''People who do not receive the Nt1o Missis since we exposed the obliquity of Gen. Wirt Certificate Adams, the Post Office is endeavor- ing to wreak its spite against this paper in every possible way. This paper has to be in the Post Office about & half hour or an hour sooner than the Republican paper here, or it is made to lie over for another mail. It is strange how mad some men will get when the plain truth is told about them in print, and yet this paper is feeling remarkable we'll"
 The two men met at Amite and President streets about 2:35 o'clock in the afternoon, when Adams cursed Martin. The latter re- piled by drawing revolver. He fired and slipped behind trce Adams also drew and fired, but 8 few seconds after. Martin con- tinued firing from behind tree, while Adams walked around it to get better shot at him. Altogether six shots were fired by Martin and three by Adams, when almost simultaneously they fell dead, without word. went through his heart. Martin was shot through the breast, leg and hat. Both used Colt revolvers of 44-calibre.
 Gen. Wirt Adams was 60 years of age. He held office under the republic of Texas in 1889, and served in the Texas army in the war with the Cherokees.
 MT. Martin was only 30 years old, brilliant editor, but of the aggressive and impulsive sort, and he had been engaged in a number of serious difficulties growing out of the Hamilton case.

THE REWARD OF TRUTH.
Campaigns of an old Soldier-He

[From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.]
 A few evenings ago Market Square chronic rounder applied for lodging ticket to Sergeant Martin, at the Central Police Station. While the sergeant was interrogating the man, another man called on the same errand. The latter, however, had been soldier of the late war, a member of the Fifth Corps, the corps to which Sergeant Martin himself had belonged, and his wants were soon supplied. This action was observed by the first rounder, and last evening, re- lying on the sergeant having forgotten him, he again called.
 Sergeant" said he, "can l get a ticket for lodging2 It's pretty hard for an old soldier to ask charity, but I've been very unfortunate of late."
 s'Are you an old soldier ?" asked Ser geant Martin.
 ''Indeed I am-belonged to the Fifth Corps."
 ''So9 What division2''
 "The fourth"
 "The fourth2 Why, man, there's only three divisions in a corps"
 "That's so; I'd forgotten. I was in the third"
 "What State were you from?"
 "New York"
 "Then you couldn't have been in the third division, for that was composed of the Pennsylvania Reserves.
 ''So it was-so it was, come to think of it, unused the tramp. "Beats all how feller forgets."
 ''What was the color of your corps badge?"
 "Green."
 "Greenl Look here, old man, you're lying to me; you never were in the army at all. The colors were red for the First Corps, white for the Second, and blue for the Third. Greenl You might as well own up that you're liar, fraud, and bum."
 "Thats fact, pardner. But when I was in here the other night seen you give an old vet ticket and stake him to a lunch, an thought maybe I could work the same thing. Now give me 0 ticket for my honesty"
 "There you are."

You never heard of hodcarrier going to millionaire and complaining that he is tired because he has been carrying bricks all day. He would get no sym pathy if he did. But see how differently a man in humble position treats a man of position when he complains. One of our best and most hard-working Judges went up to the bar of the club the other day to get a drink. He felt affable. "Give me Q long drink, John, I nan very tired. have so many things to carry in my head in court that it tires me out.

THE FATAL DEGREE.
The Methods of the Irish National
 League Deprecated.
The following is the text of the Papal de-

The following is the text of the Papal de- cree:
 con several occasions the Apostolic See has gi, en the people of Ireland, whom it has always regarded with special benevolence, suitable admonitions and advice, when circumstances required, as to how they might defend their rights without injury to justice or pub peace. Our Holy Father Leo XIII, fearing lest in the species of warfare which has been introduced among the Irish in the contests between land lords and tenants, and which is commonly called the plan of campaign and in the kind of social interdict called 'boycottlng,' arising from the same contests, true sense of justice and charity might be perverted, ordered the Supreme Congregation of the 1nquisition to subject the matter to a serious and careful ex- animation. Hence, the following was pro- posed to their Eminences, the Cardinals of that congregation:
 els it permissible in disputes between land lords and their tenants in Ireland to use means ting?'
 s'After long and mature delboration their Eminences unanimously answered in the nega- tive, and their decision was confirmed by the Holy Father on Wednesday, the 18th of the present month
 s'The justice of this decision will be readily seen by any one who applies his mind to con- sider that a rent agreed on by mutual consent cannot without violation of a contract be dl- unfinished at the mere will of tho tenant, espec- ially when there are tribunals appointed for settling such controversies and reducing un- just rents within the bounds of equity, after taking into account the causes which diminish the value of the land. Neither can it be con- sidored permissible that rents be extorted from tenants and deposited ill the hands of unknown persons to the detriment of landown- CTS.
 ''Finally, it is contrary to justice and charity to per- ecute by a social interdict those who are satisfied to pay the rents they agreed to pay, or those who, in the exercise of their rights, take vacant farms.
 "It will, therefore, be Your Lordship's duty prudently, but efrectually, to advise and exhort the clergy and laity not to transgress the bounds of Christian charity and justice while they arc striving for a remedy for their dis. tressed condition.

Gar Heatinr in Massachusetts,

The Railroad Commissioners have settled the car heating problem for Massachuset s. in special report, based upon investigations during the past winter by Prof. Gaetano LaD- Za, they say:
 'sThough the difficulties have not all been surmounted, though there is trouble from the leakage of steam and the freezing of traps and the imperfect action of reducing valves in the engine, the report made by Professor Lanza confirms the Board in the opin- ion that the system of heating by steam from the locomotive is not only practicable and conducive to the comfort and safety of passengers. but it is a desirable measure of economy; that it should be adopt ed as the standard throughout this State, and that the use of the separate heaters in or under cars should only be permitted in exceptional cases
 They deem it proper, however, to give the railroads until the fall of next year to con- plete the equipments of their cars with steam heating appliances. They will then have the coming winter and spring in which to accom- plish the work.

Shorter Hours in England.

In the House of Commons Sir John Lubbock moved the second reading of the bill closing shops at p. m on five days of the week and at 10 p. m. on Saturday. If they regulated should they not regulate the hours for the sale of other goods? What was the use of night schools and free libraries with the present ex- cessive hours of labor? The physical, moral and religious interests of the people were sap- ped by long hours.
 MT. Bradlaugh denounced the bill as abso- lutely immoral in principle and absurd in de- tail. He upheld shorter hours of labor for everyone, but if Parliament shonld set itself to dictate the hours of labor for every industry ill the country they would have legislation of a most terrific character, legislation that would crush personal energy and enterprise, ruin trade, and pervert and weaken individual character.
 The bill was rejected by vote of 273 to 95. None of the Ministers spoke on the meas

Resolutions were read embodying this wish, and were unani- mously adopted by the meeting. committee was appointed by the Chairman to draw up petition to present to the Yale corporation as the faculty cannot take final action in this matter. It is question whether Yale shall accept S125, GOO and lose "the fence," or not accept and keep ''the fence" As both grad uates and undergraduates are overwhelmingly in favor of letting ''the fence" remain, the chances are very much in its favor.
