Joins the Ballet.


New York World: The often repeated
remark that a woman will when she
will and won't when she won't, has a
curious illustration in the ballet of the
production now running in Niblo's in
New York city. Among the many
comedy young ladies that Bolossy Kiralfy
has somehow brought together in this
spectacle is a fresh young woman of
fair features and mould, modest manner
and melting black eyes, who has been a
dancing divinity only since the begin
ming OF the ''Mathias Sandorf" re-
hearsals, and thereby hangs the tale.
She belongs to Il proud family, whose
genealogical tree has fourished on the
eastern shore of Maryland amid circum-
stances of honor and wealth almost from
the days of Lord Baltimore. She was
tenderly reared at home, and when she
went to a convent that nestles costly in
the Blue Ridge mountains, not far away
from Emmittsburg, Nd, showed the
spirit of her stock by winning the class
medal two collegiate years. Naturally
| pendent, she was anxious to do some
thing outside of the ordinary ken of
women and by some i~nscrutable process
| of fate became deeply enamored of the
stage. OF course the family was shocked
by this preference, and sought by mild
persuasion and travel to YEA her from
the notion.
1t was no use, however. The longer
the ordeal the keener her desire and
tirmer her resolve. At last an appor-
tunity came by which she was able TO

any rupture of family ties. Her

was left in the care of a maiden aunt,
and it was through her that the pretty
young southerner was able to CRAFTY
her wish, even though in a most hum
BILE manner. The aunt was a neighbor
of Bolossy Kiralfy in Yonkers, and to
Mrs. Kiralfy she told her story. Self
possession and grace she wished to culti-
vate, and the practical trials OF the
stage in the exacting features OF a big
spectacle would be just the thing to in
sure these qualities. Never mind the
fact of inexperience and tender rearing
She could and would manage herself SC
that there would be no upsetting force
in any hardships of the ballet. The
aunt favored the suit, as she thought
the harder the road to begin with the
surer the cure and disgust, for the fu,

much of possible matrimonial chances

giving ground for the suspicion that
they cultivate any other faculty than
the power to apostrophize the moon
light and to long for IL lover. They do
not care to remember that it is no whit
better to wlther under the Influence of
ignorance or sentiment, to cultivate u
fondness for ''gush," than to dry up the

minor Importance at the moment, and

A Very Fast Run.

The tr~ain-sheets show that on August
II engine $40, on the Chicago, st. Louis
and Pittsburg Panhandle %routel, Mike
Greenan, engineer, made what is
claimed to be the fastest run-haullng
the Pennsylvania special, No. 2O-ever
made on the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg. The train, which consisted
of four cars, was hauled from %Indianap-
oils to Bradford, 1O5 miles, in l2l min"
utes, after making an allowance for
making two stops at railroad stations,
one of four minutes, stopping at five
railroad crossings, and slowing down
running through Greenfield, knights
town and New Paris. The train, which
left Indianapolis thirty-seven minutes
late. ran into Columbus about five min
utes late. The actual time, including
stops, was, therefore, two hours, thir-
teen minutes, giving a speed of 47.4
miles per hour, while the average speed
whilst in motion, was tifty-two miles per
hour. The schedule time is two hours,
forty-five minutes, with two informed
late station stops. This gives aspeed of
49, miles per hour, including stops.
This train, the Pennsylvania special, a
through train from st. Louis to New
York, is scheduled to run from Indian
apolis to Columbus, 1SS miles, in five
hours, making stops at six intermediate
stations. This gives a speed of 1916
miles per hour, including stoppages.

Third Glass PASSENGERS.

"The ascendancy of the third-class
passenger" says the Pail Mall Gazette,
~''every year becomes more marked.
According to the statement of the chair
man Of the Great Northern railway:
In the June half of 1887 the percent
ages Of their passenger traffic, as to
numbers, were as follows: First-class.
81 per cent; second-class, 81 per cent
and third-class, 81 per cent, whereas for
the half year under review the percent
ages had been respectively 3, 81 and
91t per cent. In 1887 the receipts from
the first-class were IA per cent, and now
they were IL per cent; the second-class
gave them I! per cent in 1887, and now
only I per cent; and from the third
class they derived 7Sl per cent of their
receipts in 1883, as against 79t per cent
last half-year. The average of the fares
during the half-year had been IS 4d in
the first-class, lid in the second and Sd
in the third This tendency is likely
to increase. When railways carry all
classes at the same speed and the third
class carriage is clean and comfortable,
the purchase Of a tirst-class ticket is
seldom anything but Il wanton luxury

the doctor should be recognized as authority
himself as his writings upon this subject show
him to be a hard student and deep thinker. His
THEORIES upon the Nerve Current and The
Causes of Pain are far in the advance of
authorities upon these subjects, and his success
in the treatment of this class of diseases shows
how well founded are his theories. To restore

feebled by worry, depression or anxiety, to
make life a pleasure and Not a Daily suffering,

And wondered if he'd do the same

And the headlight cast a long, thin stream
Through the dismal night of black,
When suddenly there came the scream

And a woman's sorrows, Joys ana woes
Were taken like Il pill.

Bad for the

A young railroad man of Atlanta (Ga.)
has come to the front with an invention
in the way of a ticket that will bring
him fame and an enviable bank account.
1t is simply this: The purchaser of an
ironclad ticket is not to be required to
write his name or make any formal
declaration as to his intention in regard
to the ticket. Nothing of the kind.
The agent who sells the low-rate round
trip points his camera at you while he
gives you your change. 1t records the
image of the purchaser in an instant.
The agent pulls out the slide, rubs his
chemical sponge over the sonsitized
paper and-there you are. In the upper
lefthand corner he pastes that picture,
puts it under a stamp that embosses the
edges, and unless you can find some
body that looks enough like you to risk
the chances of a return on your image
the ticket will carry the original pur-
chaser and nobody else.

Philadelphia Record: An interesting
story of how the Tidewater Pipe Line
Company in getting its pipes across the
main line of the railroad in Chester
County is told by a resident of West
Chester. AT the time the war was be-
ing waged by the railroad people
against the oil men to prevent the COM
pletion ofthe pipe line, Col. Porter and
u friend drove out in the country
very quietly II day to take a look at
the crops, and, if possible, find some
way OF getting under or over the rail
road company's tracks, for this they had
to do. After passing through Downing
town, following the liue of the railroad.
they saw a large culvert running under
the tracks. There was no stream of
water running through the culvert and
no apparent reason for such a break in
the embanliment, and Col. Porter made
n few inquiries. He soon learned that
the owner of the farm when the railroad
was built had stipulated that the COM
pany should forever maintain u culvert
to allow cattle to pass from one part of
the farm to another without the danger
of crossing the tracks. 1t did not take
Col Porter long to strike up IA bargain
with the owner of the farm for its pur-
chase. The place is marked by a big
streak Of whitewash, showing where the
pipe is buried.
