Will you allow me, through the col

the same pity that the individual of
whom shall speak manifested when
he expressed sympathetic fear as re-

stances, as they have often done before,

THE CAR FAMINE.

The state railroad commissioners
should give very careful attention to the
complaints being made that farmers
cannot get cars from the railroads in
which to ship their grain to the best
market, but that the roads discriminate
in favor Of the elevator men, who are
thus enabled in a degree to coerce tile
farmers into selling their grain at what
ever price the elevator owners desire to
pay. s"es'.
The complaint is not 4 new one. 1t
has been made before, and investigation
has proven it we'll founded. Railroads
are not operated for love or glory.
Their managers arc as anxious

prietors Of any other business.

AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER
Who Has Amused Williams Col
lege Students and Visitors for

Who Has Amused Williams Col
lege Students and Visitors for
Decades.
One of the most eccentric and widely
known characters in Western Massa-
chusetts is "Bill'' Pratt, a resident of
Williamstown, who is looked upon as a
sort of college fixture by the students.
The Boston Journals Williamstown
correspondent has this to say of him:
"Biil'' has amused college student and
summer visitor alike for MANY wears.
He is old. how old 10 one knows, but
certainly In the neighborhoOd of eighty
years, as he was bound out when boy
on the farm of the late Judge Bulkley's
father. He has made living by saw
ing wood, beginning this work as far
back as when wood stoves were in use
in the college buildings, and con-
tinuing it to the present day. In his
younger days he saved enough TO pur-
chase little place on the Cold Spring
road, but, being bothered by bad bows.
some af the citizens interested them
selves in his behalf and purchased a
small lot within the village, Just north
of the Mansion house, and erected
small building upon it. Here ''Bill'
and his wife Susan lived happily until
his wife's death last fall. Since then
'.BilP' has failed rapidly, and but for
the watchful care of the neighbOrS
would have died. Recently he called
two citizens into his hOyel and from an
old bureau brought to light two stock
ingS we'll filled with coin. La one was
found just $50, mostly i'm silver dollars,
showing that though "Bill" could not
count, he knew the value of the coins.
In the second nearly $50 was found. It.
was "Bill'S" custom whenever he
received paper currency TO go to
the bank and exchange it for coin.
''Bilf' cannot read word, vet he
has a most tenacious memory. His ha-
rangues, jumbling together all the theo-
logical, metaphysical and scientific
terms he has heard in this college town,
are models worthy the imitation of a
sophOmoric orator. Many a coin has
''Bill" received for his famous speeches.
"Bill" always recognizes the old gradu-
ateS Oh their return, and always claims
fellowship, remarking: II used to be
in your class" OF late years 'sBill" has
developed remarkable musical taste,
beginning with piece of broken gas
pipe, from which he evolved some most
remarkable noises. From this he ad-
vanced to the harmonica. with tin can

are fearful that this remarkable life is
nearing its close. About month ago
he narrowly escaped serious accident
from blow on the head with his Ak.
which caught i'll cfotheSline when he
was chopping. However. his vitality is
great. and he may live to greet his out
of-town friends another summer.

could have hit the panther only by fir

injudicious, at least.
AS may easily be supposed. the ami
NAL did not spend much time In inyesti-
eating the nature of the wadded hat
cover, and before my friend could take
aim without jeopardizing my own life
the beast pOuneed on my left elbow,
taking piece out, and buried its long,
sharp fangs in the joint till they met.
At the same time was hurled to the
earth with such force that knew not
how got there nor what became of my

with the panther on top of me, and L
could feel my elbow joint wabbling in
and out as the brute ground its jaws,
with movement imperceptible to the
bystanderS, but which felt to me as
though L was being violently shaken all
over.
Now listened anxiously for the re-
port OF StanfOrd'S shot, which | knew

ever before attended the efforts of mere
man born of woman. With his diseov-
cries cid ideas which had held the
human understanding in bondage
passed away. The bold Genoese adj
venturer was the JOHN the Baptist
of the sciences which SO brilliantly il
Illuminate the world to-day. He eStab-
llshed the fact that the earth was a
spherical body, and in an age, too,
when it was considered blasphemous
to hint at such theory. When CoLUM-
Bus lifted the veil of darkness which
hung between the old and new worlds
a flood of strange light poured III upon
both. Knowledge on all subjects fol-
lowed like sunburSt in the morning OF
a new day. Practically, it makes no
difference who first landed on Amer
can shores. CoLUMBUS alone is en-
titled to the honor of the grand results
OF Ameriea'S discovery. Nor is it of
much practical difference who wrote
the Shakespearean plays. 1t was the
wayward bard of Avon who published
them to the world, and he will forever
stand acknowledged as the high-priest
and interpreter of the sorrows and joys
of human nature in its loftieSt and in its
iowlicSt moods.

THE BRITISH TREATY,

1t seems that Great Britain wants us
to negotiate new treaty with her, con-
tanning several new and striking feat
ures, two of its features being of espe-
cial intereSt-the extradition from Can
ada of defaulterS from this country and
vice versa, and the eXtraditiOn from the
country of persons who have engaged
i'll political schemes in which dynamite
as an argument is favored.
To the first provision no exception can
be taken. For long time the impossi-
bility of apprehending those who, false
to financial trusts, have sought refuge
on either side of the line has been a.
source of annoyance, both to this coun-
try and Canada. But there cannot be
the same unanimity of sentiment re-
garding the second provision, relating to
the eXtradition of dynamiters, so called
Of course the American people have no
sympathy with assassins, whether their
favOrite instrument be dynamite or
gunpowder, but neither have they any
sympathy with governmental persecu-
ton which seeks to cloak its real OBJ
ject under the assumed cover of arrest

Mantle, or in any other way, is clearly
proven, and the culprit has taken refuge
OH our shores, there would be bat little
protest should law have been formu-
lated under which he could be given up !;
but, except in a specific instance like
this, the remarks made regarding the
Russian treaty for the eytradition of
political offenders would be equally ap-
plicable, as v0icing the sentiments of
all lovers of liberty toward the English
treaty. There is no reason why this
country should aid others in their
schemes of oppression and despotism.

Sensations of Man When Big
Cat Was Shifting About His Ju-


gular.
How it feels to find ones self in the
avs of panther is that kind of knowl-
edge which most persons are we'll con
tent to acquire at second hand. Proba-
bly, all men would not have the same
sensations, but this is the account which
Col, Barras gives of such an experience,
says the Youths Companion. He was
a born sportsman, and, of course, could
enjoy many things which to ordinary
persons would seem anything but pleas
ant:
''The panther came for me with light
ming bounds. l could see nothing, ow-
ing to its tremendous speed, but shad-
owy-looking form with two large, bright
round eyes fixed upon me with an un-
meaning stare, as it literally flew to-
ward me.
Such was the vision of a moment !.
My presence OF mind did not tdesert me.
L raised my gun and fired with all the
care l could at such short notice. But
missed, and the panther landed, light
as feather, with its arms around my
shoulders.
Thus we stood for few seconds, and
l distinctly felt the animal shifting for
my throat. Mechanically I turned my
head so as to keep the thick, wadded
curtain of my heImet-cover i'm front of

,NAsHISGToN, Feb, S.-Acting Consul
Hornstedt, of Moscow, has made a re-
port to the department of state in re-
gard to all important invention recently
patented by Russian subject, and now
being successfully worked in Russia.
Hessays: '..The Invention consists of

from the ore. The whole secret of the
process is the construction of the fur

1t will be difficult for our iron masters
to believe that under the new process
iron ore, after submitting it to the Or
dinary smelling process, is taken direct
from the furnace to the rolling mill and
turned into sheet-iron; yet.such is the
case, there being, to my certain knowl-
edge, three furnaces in this country
now in full operation and working with
great success. There can be but little
doubt that this new invention will Gre

facture of charcoal iron. Whether the
process can be used with equal advan-

positively assert, as the furnaces L refer
