The following dispatch to the Chicago
Heraid from Dayid Clarke's former home
throws q little more light on the dark deed
at Sand wich:
CANAJoHARIA, N. Y, July News
has Just been received from the postmaster
AZ Sandwich, H., of the double suicide of
David Clarke and Loretta Maxwell, form
erly residents of this county. Up TO two
years ago David Clarke was the landlord
of hotel He owned the hotel and was
regarded rs COOL citizen. Ii soon became
known that Clarke was untrue 10 his wife
and was paving attention TO Miss Maxwell,
of the town of Canal oharle This resulted
in many quarrel with his wife. Finally
a separation occurred, and lastly an elope-
ment of Clarke with the fair Loretta
Where they went was mystery until to-
day, when news came of their suicide,
which occurred July 8, by hanging them
selves from a BEEN In the barn on a small
farm purchased by Clarke near Sandwich,
H. They left nothing by which they
could be identified. Their goods and pa
pers were overhauled, and finally poster
was fouI announcing "hop" at Charles
ton Four Corners, David Clarke, proprie-
tor, bearing the Canajoharie Courier i'm
print. 1t is said they had their farm clear,
and $3.50 remains in a bank at Canal oharie
to Clark's credit. Ills widow will claim
the estate. II is stated that Clarke and
Miss Maxwell were married about two
years ago"
While working for Gage II is said that
someone limited to Clark that he was q
bigamist, and this, no doubt, Is the Ak.
explanation of the act, The guilty couple
not only committed suicide, but also added
murder to the crime, as Miss Maxwell
would very soon have become mother.

Five Cent Human Nature.
Detroit Free Press.


 You can cram 8 good deal of human nature into 8 street car about six o'clock in the evening. There was { heap of 1t in 8 Grand River avenue eal an evening or two since, when half 6 dozen people saw 8 man take twen- ty-dollar gold piece from his vest pocket, fondle it for 8 moment, and then drop it into his left hand panti pocket. In about three minutes he felt in his vest pocket for that money and it was gone. Then he felt in the other pocket and suddenly rose up.
 "Lost anything?" queried a passen- ger.
 q don't know-let's see-yes, ] havep
 He felt in several other pockets drew forth bunch of keys, lump oi rosin, pocket knife, some troches and half dollar and then exclaimed
 "rve had my pocket picked of twenty dollars!"
 Five passengers betrayed excite ment. Six others were only casually interested. Four were skeptical, and seven winked at each other and whis- pered that it was dead fake.
 Close it in the car?" asked a second passenger.
 "Of course I did! I had it less'n five minutes agow
 "And your pocket has been picked?" "Sure enough! Is there an officer on this carr"
 "Do you mean to say you suspect me2" demanded the man on the right. Or mel" demanded the one on the left.
 "But it's gone!" shouted the loser. "Some one has certainly robbed me. " Five passengers whispered "Rats !" softly to themselves, and four others gazed serenely at the ceiling.
 "Conductor, stop the carp shouted the loser as he seized the cord and rang up five fares on the register.
 "What is it !" demanded the con- ductor as he came in.
 "Some one has robbed mev
 "Feel in your left hand pants pocket, you numb skull?" shouted an old man on the opposite seat.
 His advice was complied with, and 10 the lost was found.
 "Twenty-five cents, sir!" said the conductor.
 "What for?"
 "Those five fares l"
 It was paid, and the victim offered to lick anybody in the car before he got off. Then he got of, shook his fist at the conductor, and darkness set tied down upon the city and sent the sparrows to their nests under the caves.

FACE TO FACE.

If my face could only promise that its color
 would remain, If my heart were only certain it would hide
 the moments pain, would meet you, and would greet you in the
 old familiar tone, And naught should ever show you the wrong
 that you have done. If my trembling hand were steady, if my
 smiles had not all fled, If my eyes spoke not so plainly of the tears
 they often shed, would meet you and would greet you at the
 old trysting- place, And perchance you'd deem me happy, if you
 met me face to face. If the melody of sprlng-tide awoke no wild
 refrain, If the autumn's golden burthen awoke no liy-
 ing pain, I would meet thee, and would greet thee, as
 years ago we met, Before our hearts were shipwrecked, on the
 ocean of regret. If my woman's soul was stronger, if my heart
 was not so true, should long have ceased remembering the
 love had for you, But dare not meet or greet thee, m the cid
 familiar way, Until we meet in Heaven, when tears have
 passed away. -Once-d- Week

Landing a Big Salmon.
Scribner's Magazine

Before the fly has fairly lit, great flash of silver darts from the waves close by the boat. He has hooked himself with rush, and the line goes whirring madly from the reel as he races down the pool. Keep the point of the rod low; he must have his own way now. Up with the anchor quickly, and send the canoe after him, bowman and sternman paddling with swift strokes. He has reached the deepest water he stops to think what has happened to him; we have passed around and below him and now with the current to help us we can begin to reel in. Lift the point of the rod, with strong, steady pull. Put the force of both arms into it. The tough wood will stand the strain. The fish must be moved he must come to the boat if he is ever to be landed. He gives little and yields slowly to the pressure. Then suddenly he gives too much, and runs straight toward us. Reel in now as swiftly as possible, or else he will get slack on the line and escape. Now he stops, shakes his head from side to side, and darts away again across the pool, leaping high out of water. Drop the point of the rod quickly, for if he falls on the leader he will surely break it. Another leap, and another! Truly he is "a merry one," as Sir Humphrey Davy says, and it will go hard with us to hold him. But those great leaps have ex- hausted his strength, and now he fol- lows the line more easily. The men push the boat back to the shallow side of the pool until it touches lightly on the shore. The fish comes slowly in, fighting little and making a few short runs; he is tired and turns slightly on his side; but even yet he is heavy weight on the line, and it seems wonder that SO slight thing as the leader can guide and draw him. Now he is close to the boat. The bow man steps out on 8 rock with his gaff. Steadily now and slowly, lift the rod, bending it backward. A quick, sure stroke of the steell great splash and the salmon is lifted high and dry upon the shore.-From ".Salmon An- gling On Me Restigouche."

Santa Fe Vestibule Trains.

The vestibule train is 8 new factor in western railroad transportation. It is claimed for these trains that on &C., count of their being connected by steel hoods all danger of telescoping in case of accident is removed, the train being practically one long car. It is certain that the oscillation of the cars is greatly reduced, and it is also certain that the vestibule trains afford the greatest comfort yet known to travel CTS. The adoption of this style of train by the Chicago, Santa Fe & Cal ifornia railway between Kansas City and Chicago, is a strong bid for the passenger traffic between the west and Chicago. This new road is in many particulars ahead of any of it's older competitors, and will undoubtedly be the popular road to Chicago.

The Typesetter.
Fort Worth Gazette.

The typesetting machine has come to stay, and good many fear that the days of the typo are numbered. It is not so. The typo was here first, and will remain until the final blast upon the bugle horn of Gabriel resounds over hill and dale-until the heavens are rolled up like scroll of spring poetry. The typesetting machine may do much. It may let the types drop out of their boxes or puddle around in molten metal, but there are things which it cannot do. It cannot put on "sub" and attend Q base ball game :; it cannot use lower registered notes, and yell out, "Who's got take B IS :? Whats your last word? It cannot borrow sorts or fake thin spaces, or jeff, turning up three mollies at will ; it cannot reach out for a "fl" while keeping one eye in search ofa fat take ; it cannot hug the fat rack like a brother and borrow fine cut; it cannot cuss the telegraph editor or believe that the proof reader is lineal de- scendant of old Mephisto it cannot vote solidly against the paper it works for or punctuate matter correctly for literary geniuses it cannot grubstake dismantled fellow, nor fit foot-sore pilgrim for the night it cannot grow brain weary or paint the office blue when it catches 8 galley toward morn- ing it cannot leave it's lunch basket where the editor can hold a midnight orgie over it, or eliminate the ortho- graphic bone-spavin from sentence, giving it elasticity; it cannot immor- talize man by ignoring what he did write and setting what he should have written; it cannot sing church music evenings while throwing in type, or believe its dupes draw themselves up when being measured it cannot, when the ghost walks on Monday and the lunch man is paid, go forth hitting the ground in high places, to carmi- nate the burg, or talk shop on the cor ner. It cannot do this or that or these or any of them. Science may put fingers on type-setting machine, but it cannot furnish 1t with brains or heart. The typo is here, and has his knitting with him.
