She Dreamed Of Charley.

In one corner of a crowded city street
car sat a young lady of more than ordi-
nary good looks. Her fellOw-passengers
had plenty of opportunity to gaze at her
without embarrassing her, for before
the car was over the bridge she had
dropped sound asleep.
The conductor evidently know her,
for he made no attempt to wake her
when he came to her after collecting the
rest of the fares. She did indeed look
very pretty, her head resting slightly
against the window frame, her lips Just
parted and her face composed peace
fully.
There was q hall smile on her face, rs
if her dreams were pleasant. She had
probably been standing behind dry
goods counter all day long.
The men, and the women, too, were
careful not to touch even the hem of the
sleeping girls dress as they passed out
one by one.
Finally only the sleeper and a gentle
man who was reading paper were left
in the car. Just then the conductor en-
tered the car and remarked to the gen
tleman: 81 shall have to wake her, she
gets off here"
The conductor laid his hand on the
sleeping girls shoulder and gave herthe
least possible bit of q shake, while with
the other hand he rang the bell for the
driver to stop the car.
The girl rose at once, but though she
did this, and opened her eyes also, she
was evidently still in dreamland. Her
lips moved and she sail almost III a
whisper:
"fhere, it's 10 oc lock didn't You hear
the clock strike Let me go, [ say
please let me go, Charley and then
She suddenly stopped, put her hands to
her face and without n word more ran
out of tho car, wide awake and blushing

SIX MEN To OUR ONE.
English Government Railroads Ex-
travaSant in Their Forces.

G. L. Cole, Assistant General Freight
Agent of the Pennsylvania Company, re-
! turned from an extended tour in Europe,
where he and his family spent the last
two months.
"The English railroads are the best, ;"
he said. In the matter of speed they
compare favorably with our own. The
trains are run with remarkable precis-
ion. OF course, to a stranger, the rail
road people have an odd way of taking
care Of baggage: There are no checks
given for it. If, for instance, l take
not receive n check, but there is merely
a tag put on it, and [ run the risk of
some one else claiming it when it reach
es its destination. However, during
my travels [ did not hear of any being
lost. The roadbeds and improvements
at the depots are far ahead of those in
our country. The tracks are all solid,
and the depots at even the small towns
are built with a view to the future.
Then, where there are tracks for incom-
ing and outgoing trains, there are un-
derground passages for the passengers
to go through to avoid accidents. How
ever, as regards the building of depots
and other improvements, the same at
tention is being given on our Penn
sylvania Railroad system, especially
now
81 especially noticed that on the
Government roads there are six en-
ployees to one on the roads in this coun-
try. We are ahead of the English as
regards the handling of freight. Their
cars are smaller, with a capacity of from
10000 to 5000 pounds, and property is
carried on flat cars that we always put
under cover in box cars. Then we
hurry forward freight to its destination
much faster than is done on the English !
.oads.

He Poisoned His Wife.

Louis Hill, a negro fugitive from
Justice in Union County, Miss, was
arrested by the Sheriff OF Union County,
who came upon him Accidentally. Five
years ago Hill resolved to get rid of his
wife in order to wed another woman
who had enslaved him, and consulted q
vCodoo priestess, who told him to ex
tract the poison from a moccasin snake
i'll the dark of the moon, and administer
it to the woman in the seventh hour of
the seventh day following. He sue
ceeded i'll capturing a n~Occasin, but the
reptile was so vicious that he was afraid
to extract its poison bag. He ther fore
cut off its head and boiled the head in q
pot of coffee, of which his wife drank at
breakfast. She was Immediately taken
violently i'll, and for week fingered
between life and death, but finally re-
covered. The snakes head was found
among the coffee grounds which Hill
had thrown on the ground beside his
cabin, and he was arrested and indicted
for attempt at murder.
Hills cell companion in the jail at
New-Albany, Miss, was George Town
send, notorious horse thief. A few
days after the negro joined him Town
send obtained from the iailer a pocket
knife and piece of hard wood for the
ostensible purpose of making a trinket
for a present to the iailer's little daugh-
ter Out of this wood he fashioned a
key, and one dark night he fitted this
key in the lock of the cell door and sue
ceeded in partially turning the bolt.
Then he and the negro threw their
weight against the door, forced it open
and escaped. Hill came to the neigh
borhood of Memphis, where he has been
ever since. Townsend was recaptured
and is now serving a long time in the
Mississippi penitentiary.

CaIifornia's Highest Colony.

Life at the Lick Observatory, over
four thousand feet above the ocean level,
on lofty summit, with other mountain
crests only for neighbors, is an interest
ing study. Here is probably the high
est colony in California. The astron-
omers and necessary employees of the
observatory form q little world of their
own and few of them care often to go
outside of it. The stage that comes
once a day brings news from the world
outside and visitors curious to see the
wonders of the mountain. A contract
with n San Jose eXpressman secures
all needed freight once month, some
times oftener. A butcher with supplies
mes up the twenty eight miles of tor
tuous mountain road once a week.
Cows and chickens are adjuncts to the
commissary department. Quail, rabbits
and deer are plentiful in surrounding
canyons and some of the sportsmen
astronomers occasionally bring them
down. The summer air is soft and so
rarified as to exhilarate and make great
exertion seem slight. All the astrono-
mers came from cities, yet none com
plain or sigh for attractions beyond

Very Novel Advertising.

A. Glover, the window trimmer at the
Excelsior, has fitted up the large show
win low in q novel manner. In the cen
tire of the window he has erected small
frame house of rather an odd and ancient
design. At either end of the queer lit
tie house & real old-fashioned rail fence
incloses a small forest. This strange
looking building and its surroundings
are said to be fac simi!e representations
of the first schOolhouse ever built III
Cleveland. In 1917, when our great
city was only a villa of $50 inhabi-
tants, % of its citizens contributed to-
ward the building CT schoolhouse, the
amount altogether being $198. 70. This
little building stood on the east side of
the lot now occupied by the Kennard III
a grove of oaks. The idea of e hiblting
the old time mode of teaching school,
with o teacher and some 20 scholars, is
certainly unique, and will draw the at
tention of a great many people who pass
nlong Superior street. The little school
opens to-day at 8 o'clock, and the boys
aud girls will Use the big show window

been engaged by the trustees to manage

a large canvas painting showing a
country road with rail fence. This

AUNT CRANDALL RESIGNS.
Lived in w atch Hill Lighthouse for
Twenty Years.

The little old storm beaten Watch
| Hill lighthouse is about to lose its keep
! er, Mrs. Sally A. Crandall. She has re-
signed her office. Aunt Sally Crandall
has dwelt in the lighthouse during the
past twenty years, since her husband,
Capt. Jared Crandall, took charge of the
light. The Captain died ten years ago,
and since his death his widow, with her
little family, has been the proprietress
of the hollow white-painted shaft. For
ten years she has climbed the skeleton
iron staircase each evening as the dusk
crept over the booming ocean, and in
that time not mariner, picking his way
over the deep, ever looked in vain for
Sally Crandalls light
The lighthouse is on green hillock
on Negatree point, begirt with finty
wall of boulders, against which the
ocean ceaselessiy drives its thunderous
billows. A reat white painted pale en-
closes the hill, an acre of land, on which
Mrs. Crandall's COW crops the short
grass in summer, and q dozen geese and
forty fowls strut and cackIe to the ac-
compartment of the ringing shore. Mrs.
Crandall has had q good time all alone.
Her circular home is as neat within as
wax, her children are bright-eyed and well
dressed; and in the summer months the
fashionable world that plumes itself in
the great summer hotels and cottages
not sixty rods away, never tires of stroll
ing now and then to Widow Crandalls
abode; and most of the visitors leave

they have seen the cloth-swathed Ian.

We're off, ''might set fire to the light

Mrs. Crandall has been the most pop
ular light keeper on the coast, and so
great was the apprehension, when the
Democratic Administration came in, lest
she might be removed, that every one
along shore, from New London to New
port put his name to a paper that asked
Mr.. Cleveland to see to it that Mrs Gran
dali was kept at Watch Hill to trim t e
light. The paper was sent to Washing
ton, and the powers said that Mrs.
Crandall must not go. But the light
house keeper has become tired of her
lonely vigil, so far from other human
ing sea waves She will return to her
old home in Westerly.
In the past twenty years Mrs. Gran

A Scene in Java.

"Fxperiences. The front block is the
reception hall, fronted by veranda-
The veranda is faced with marble. and
disposed IN it are numerous small tables,
chairs, and lounges. Passing from the
veranda through the reception hall you
will find the dining room extended back
into the square. 1t is simply rooted,
and flowers in pots and pendant creepers
fill the open sides. The bedrooms out
in the courtyard, formed by the remain
ing three sides of the square, have each
veranda furnished with a table and a
lounging chair, making, as it were, n
parlor for the occupant of the bedroom

at every cottage door sat the occupants,
the gentlemen lying back in their chairs,

native dress, adopted by the European
ladies for comfort and convenience in
the climate, d worn by them as Sleep

"That," she replied, Indicating with
n wave of her needle the object which
had excited my curiosity; don't tell
that you never noticed it before! That's
curious, for it's queer enough to look
at. Most folks pick it out at once. It's
where Miss Denny's telescope is
can observatory l never thought
of that. The house is so very small"
$50 it is. 1t always was a small
house. They had great times getting
the roof fixed to hold it, and bricking
up the siies to make it strong. But
nothing else would satisfy Miss Denny,
so they managed it at last. L guess the
whole thing would come down together
if they tried to move it away now"
''But who was this Miss Denny and
what did she want of telescOpe2 Was
she so very fond of astronomy D."
asked, seating myself on the steps be
side her.
you're one for stories, I guess OBJ
served my landlady shrewdly. "This
isn't much of story to tell about,
though it always makes me feel a little
bad to think about Marianne Denny.
She was one of the Kennybunkport
Dennys. 1 never knew what made them
come here in the first place, but here
they were as far back as I remember.
There was an old mother who was fee
bic, and sister who was always sort of
ailing and complaining, and Marianne.
That was all, except Sarah Denny, and
she died young. Marianne taught the
district school when / was mite of n
child, so you can see there was a good
deal of difference between us, as much
as seventeen or eighteen years I guess ;
but we was always friends somehow,
from the first"
"Was she so attractive then 2"
''Well, I can't say for everybody. I
always pitied her and liked her some
how. She was little and thin and timid
like. She had big eyes which seemed
always to be looking far off and not see
ing things that was close to her dis
tinctly.
"Well, I grew up and got married
about as early as 1 could, as girls go, but
Marianne stayed an old maid. l don't
believe she minded much. Sometimes
I've thought there might have been
something when she was young, before
1 knew her, to set her against it ; any
how, she never seemed to care for any
of the young men Her mother and
sister kept on getting more and more
helpless and she kept on teaching. l
suppose they didn't have much to live
on except what Marianne earned. All
the spare time she could get she spent
in studying. L never saw such one
for books as she was, always reading
about plants and bugs and stones, and
going about trying to find and make out
about them. But what she cared about
most of all was stars.
''It is curious how people grow to feel
about such things" went on Mrs. Merry
weather, composedly. 81 never saw the
day yet when a good spring cleaning or
q new recipe for cake didn't interest me
more than any amount of stars. Poor
Marianne used to talk to me about plan
cts and satellites and milky ways till it
was enough to give one a headache to
listen to her. 1 never could see that
they did anybody mite of good: they
are so far off and we don't really know
anything about them; they Just wink
down at us and seem unsystematic some
how. IL was in n worry or a trouble,
/ should never think of staring round
