A Railroader's Ear.

Springfield mon.
A fine ear for music is no rarity, yet
peculiarities are occasionally noticed
hat attract attention. 1t is said that
expert musical conductors can tell which
one of thirty or forty instruments should
come in at given points in orchestral
work, Or in minute technicalities who is
wrong. Ability to name keynote is
also sometimes noticed: that is, some
people on hearing chord upon a piano
or organ can tell, without even seeing
the instrument or player, what key has
Jbeen struck or what is the signature of
"a chord or concerted piece. This is
quite rare, but more peculiar faculty
is sometimes exhibited. Some time ago
two people were walking near a railroad
crossing in the evening. The man had
at one time been switchman on the
railroad. His companion said as train
was heard approaching;
'Is that the Chicago eXpress?"
"NO," he answered, "that's wildcat,
with engine 1885,"
sHOw do you knOw?'
81 know by the sound of her bell"
His companion was skeptical, so he
said:
Now. you stand here till that train
comes in sight and see if | am not right"
Anu, SuiC OiOuSus a miuutc ldttI d
light engine. No. 236, passed under the
electric light at the crossing, tOlling her
bell meanwhile.
81 learned to do that when 1 was
switching nights" the man explained.
/, 81 had thirty trains to let into the train
house between Z p. m. and morning.
There were nine tracks for them to go in
on, and l learned to know which was
switch-with a smile-by the tone of
their BELLS"
Such a faculty is rare one, and can
not be acquired where it does not exist.

RATHER CHESTNUTTY.

Che Mysterious Disappearance of
Boot and Shoe Stock.
Long before daylight yesterday morn
ing procession of loaded wagons came
out of the alley running between the
store of f. l.. Chestnut and r. S. Good
fellow, and were hurriedly driven to the
Omaha freight depot at the corner of
Fourth avenue north and River street.
where the boxes with which the wagons
were filled were loaded on board
freight cars. On investigation
it was found that the store
No. 245 Nlcollet evenue, which the day
before had been occupied by f. l..
Chestnut, dealer in boots and shoes,
was empty, and that persons who hap
pened to be in that vicinity about mid
night reported that the store was sud-
denly lighted up about that time, and
that incessant pounding, as of driving
of nails, was kept up for couple of
hours, when the procession of wagons
suddenly appeared at the back door
and We're rapidly loaded and driven off
1t is reported that the goods were re-
moved by Reynolds Bros, of Utica, n.
Y, who were one of Chesnut's princl-
pal creditors. and who are said to have
obtained bill of sale of the entire
stock from him last Tuesday and took
this method of anticipating other cred
itors. Mr.. Chestnut left the city last
week, presumably for the East, and the
amount of his liabilities could not be
learned yesterday. Several judgments
were entered up at the district court
during the past week, and attachments
would undoubtedly have followed to.

BALr1moRE,s SCANDAL.
Mrs. Sidney s. Swami Sues for Di.
vOrce from Her Husband.

Mrs. Sidney s. Swami Sues for Di-
vorce from Her Husband.
New York Times
Mrs. Sidney Smith Swami, the
wealthiest lady in Maryland with the
exception of Miss Garrett, has filed a
bill in the circuit court of Baltimore
praying for an absolute divorce from her
husband, Donald Swami, on the ground
Of unfaithfulness. The social promi-
nence of the parties has made this new
scandal the talk of Newport and Balti-
more social circles. Mr.. Swami answers
his wife's plea, making no opposition,
but putting the plaintiff to proof as to
the essential charge of the bill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swami were married
eight years ago. She at that time being
eighteen years of age and he twenty
two. They have one child. Mrs. Swami
is a daughter of the late William F.
Turner, of Wheatland, four miles from
CharleStOwn, w. Va, and a grand
daughter of Edward Patterson, of Balti-
more. Mrs. Swann's grandmother was
daughter of Gen. Samuel Smith, who
was United States senator from Mary
land for thirty-three years. Mr.. Swami
is son of the late John Swami, of
Hunting Ridge, Md. His grandmother
49, cACcSA VI w iliiQhl anu
John S. Donnell. At the time of his
marriage Mr.. Swami was clerk in
bank. Mrs. Swami inherited S2O0,000,-
GOO from her grandfather and other re-
lations, and the newly welded couple
lived elegantly in this city. Mrs. Swami
was favorite in Baltimore society.
MIR. and Mrs. Swami were in the habit
of spending their summer at Newport,
where they occupied cottage during
the season and entertained largely, Mrs.
Swami being here, as in Baltimore, a
social favOrite.
The proceedings for divorce were
begun very quietly, and the greatest eff
fort was made to keep the facts from
becoming public. Since the filing of
the bill Mrs. Swami has gone to New
port in company with her aunt, Miss
Louisa Patterson. Four months ago the
couple went to Paris. While there the
gay young husband is reported to have
spent $4,000 in single week. About
month ago he returned, his wife re-
fusing to live with him any longer. The
same steamer brought letter from his
wife to his father in which she wrote:
81 send you home your son." The wife
returned in another steamer and began
divorce proceedings.

FOURTH ANNIVERSARY.
The Birthday of the West Hotel
Approximately Celebrated.

Saturday. July 81, was the fourth an
niversary of the opening to the public
of the West hotel, and the management
celebrated the event as in years gone by
by giving grand special dinner to a
large number of invited guests. The
handsome big dining hall was tastefully
decorated, and instead of having large
tables there were a hundred or so small
ones, suitable for families. The hall was
filled all the time from 80 to o'clock.
and a corps of trained walters did the
serving i'll pleasing way. The dinner
itself was an most excellent one and
embraced all the delicaeies of the sea-
son. During the repast Danz's orches-
ira, stationed in an ante-room, dis
coursed sweet music and rendered the
repast all the more enjoyable. A feat
ure of the dinner was the presence of
very large number of ladies, nearly
every gentleman bringing one or more.
The menu cards were works of art and
were generally preserved as souvenirs
of the occasion.

VAGARIES OF FASHION.

The novelties in scarfpins this season
generally take the form of some insect,
beetle, fly, or bug, and the natu-
ralness of the imitation Is often decep-
tive. The most successful, however, is
a clever imitation of the common house
fly. The pin may be stuck in the necktie
or shirt front, or even the cOllar,and the
number of people who will attempt to
brush it away is somewhat astonishing.
Ed A. Stevens has been having whole
lot of fun during the past week at the
expense of others with one of these fly
pins, and has been able to keep himself
literally supplied with cigars as re-
suit.
Flannel neglige shirts have been worn
by all grades of society this year from
the man of fashion to roustabouts.
They are comfortable and cool, while
their bright variegated colOrs render
them attractive. Last year they were
worn almost exclusively by the tennis
players and bicyclistS. Now everybody
wears them. Even the ladies, too, and
the appearance of fair creature clad
in a shirt that came from gents fur
nishing store is not much of curiosity.

THE POLITICAL POT.

The city central committee of the
United Labor party held conference
yesterday and decided to put a city
ticket in the field. This is in line with
the policy of the recent state convention
at Window hall. Nominations were
not made then, but a confer
ence, which is in reality an
adjourned meeting has been called to be
held at st. Paul Tuesday of next week,
with the following apportionment of
delegates: One from each farmers al
lance or farmer organization: one from
each labor organization outside of Ram
sey and Hennepin counties; the editor of
each independent newspaper in the
state; thirty delegates from Ramsey
county; thirty from Hennepin county.
~
The weather has been very warm
during the past week, and anything
which carries with it even the semblance
of GOODNESS is agreeable. Hence the
announcement that State Commander
Eye, of the G. A. r., has followed, or is
to follow the example of Department
Commander Rea and issue an order IN
the form of warning to members
the G. A. II. to be careful that Whatever
political action they may take shall be
the order, is decidedly refreshing. The
spectacle of the state commander, who
is a candidate for prominent county
office, issuing such an order that others
shall not do what he is doing, or what Is
at least being done in his interest, is
enough to dazzle the most braZen OF
politicians.
Loren Fletcher, who has been absent
from the city for the past two weeks,
returned home Saturday from Pierre,
Oak. He will probably start out on an
extended tour through the Fourth con-
gressonal district some time this week
to undo the work of Sam Snider's
financial agent, who is said to have
worked all the granger counties i'll the
district during Uncle Loren's absence.

An article in the Journal of Thurs
day. which stated that the Knights OF
Labor are solid for McGill for governor,
has raised quite a commotion among
members of the order. In the first
place the order is not political one,
and in the next place Gov. McGili has
done nothing to win the friendship OF
the order. The appointment OF state
labor statistician and an assistant, in ac-
cordance with the law, can hardly be
urged as reason why the Knights of
Labor, as a body, should be aching for
An opportunity to vote for him.

ON ITS DIGNITY.
The Military Wrath of Company
A Is Aroused.

1t is exceedingly probable that the
days of Company A, NJ. n. e.. are num-
bered, and that in short time the
company will cease to exist. The men,
bers are mad clear through, and will
hold meeting at Armory hall this even
ing to consider a resolution asking that
the company be mustered out. There
is not much opposition to the
resolution expressed, and in all
likelihood it will pass. The
trouble arose at the encampment
at Lake City some days ago, and Col.
Bend is the man said to be to blame.
At the encampment handsome medal
was offered to the best drilled company,
and it is said Company A was fairly en-
titled to the medal, but Col. Bend
awarded it to another company, saying
that it had more men present than Com
pany A, which was disgrace to the ma
tional guard. The boys feel very sore
over the matter and have announced
their intention of getting out as soon as
possible.
