New York Angiomaniacs.

Prom the New York Star.
The present stage Of Anglomania in New
York is not particularly attractive. The men
have the surliness of the English without the
solidity or good nature. 1t is too much on the
surface. Englishmen are curt and reserved in
public because they are afraid of the presump-
ton of class or grade lower than the one they
chance to be born in. They are always on
guard in public. From the keeper of a public
house to a prince of the blood there is always
the same stern and unrelenting endeavor to
keep the man below from climbing up Hence
the heavily fortified ar1nor of snobbery and
austerity.
This manner the New York Anglomaniac has
succeeded in copying. but the cardinal mistake
he makes Is not knowing when to throw it all
of. That Is where there is such a difference
between the English snob and the New York
lmltatOr. No matter how austere an English
man may be in public. the instant that one Is
alone with him and he is fully satisfied that
you have right to be in his house, he is gen.
ial. frank and hospitable. Not 50 the Anglo
maniac. He Is a cad first, foremost and for
ever.

ordinary experiments with the general In one
MIR. Cumberland asked the general to think of
the number Of days, weeks, months or years he
would give NJ. Carnot Gen. Boulanger thought,
and after little while Mr. Cumberland said il
was six months, which was the exact time the
general had in his mind
The most remarkable experiment followed.
1t was the one in which the thought-reader
asked the general to imagine he was once more
on active service, and at the head of an army
which he wished to move to a certain place OF,
the continent. For this purpose q map of Eu-
rope was placed upon the table. Mr.. Cumber-
land withdrew for some minutes into an adjoin-
ing room, while the general studied the map,
and chose his route. When summoned back the
thought reader was 5lindfolded and then.
taking the general by the hand, he very slowly
traced with a pencil on the map most accurately
the route thought of by the general. 1t began
at Paris, and ended at Stuttgart. surrounding

Caught Between Two Trains.

THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF DARING
wHEELMAN AT PAssAIC CITY.
From the Newark Advertiser.
De Witt Roumain, prominent member of
the Wheelmens club of Passaic city, n j., had
miraculous escape from horrible death the
other day. He wheeled down Passaic avenue,
and on reaching the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad crossing he suddenly
turned and went spinning down the hard beaten
path between the tracks. He had proceeded
but short distance when shrill whistle at
tracted his attention to a locomotive which
had just rounded a curve ahead and was run
ming rapidly toward him. Roumain was about
to dlsmount when he heard sharp whistle be-
hind. CHANGING backward he saw another
engine close upon him. To dismount and cross
to either side was impossible. The wheelman
threw himself backward off his machine, laid
down on the ground, and graspng the handles
held the bicycly perpendicuiarly above him.
The trains Numbered by without doing dam
age to himself or his wheel. Roumain lives to
tell the story, but doesn't want to take such
chances again.

WORDS OF PRAISE AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE
NEW CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY PREFECT.
The American college in Rome gave grand
dinner Tuesday evening in honor Of the leaders
of the American pilgrims. Many prelates were
present Bishop Keane, the president Of the
new Catholic university at Washington, spoke
in English, Latin and French. His remarks
were much applauded. The pope's vicar, Car
dnal Parocchi, delivered a powerful Latin
Grafton on behalf Of the pope. He expressed
the pope's admiration for American institutions.
and spoke Of the deep interest taken by his
holiness in the birth Of the Washington uni
versity, which he regarded as one Of the chief
glories of his pontifcate.
Cardinal Schiafino eulogized the Washington
university as the browning work of Christian
education-a work that was destined to display
America to the world as living exemplifca-
ton Of perfect accord between the highest
learning and science and the Catholic faith.
Mgr. Jacobini traced Americas wonderful
progress, and contrasted the strong and vieeor-
Gus life OF Americas institutions and people
and of the Catholic church in America with the
sadly painful situation Of the people and church
in the old world
Rector Racquet, Of the Quebec university,
rendered his congratulations on the birth of a
sister university and wished it prosperity
Cardinal Mazella wrote, as an American citizen
OF Georgetown college and a Jesuit regretting
his inability to be present.

Little Katie Reimer, Of Scio, now carries the
mail from Atwood to Selden three times each
week. The distance is about forty miles, and
the trip is made in a blackboard drawn by one

with oxen, with mules, with all kinds of teams
are many, but we venture that Miss Katie is
the only girl carrying mail in the state.
