Auditor Coke, of the Western Un-

nounced visit yesterday afternoon to
the telegraph Office here and paid
manager Henderson a deserved COM
pliment on the accuracy and thorough
ness of all his accounts. He was sur
prised at the amount of business
transacted by the Astoria Office, and
said he would take measures looking
to the sending here of an additional
operator, an improvement fully justi-
fed by the large amount of daily bus
iness, which is steadily increasing.

ONLY A PARROT.
An Incident Which Amused the Pas
sengers Of Pullman Car.

From the Boston Globe
left Boston for Montreal in the midst Of o
pouring rain, and, as the train rolled out of
Boston and Lowell station I surveyed the pas
sengers around me. Two priests occupied the
section behind and an old-fashioned couple
that directly in front, while on both sides fur
Their along were numerous travellers evidently
bound for the mountain region. None were
very interesting, andso began thinking of my
journey. Just at this point voice near me e1-

looked up in surprise. A modest young
lady bound for Woodstock sat opposite, and
she too was wondering at the utterance. The
reverend fathers behind looked gravely
shocked and the couple on the seat in front,
despite their evident approach to three score
and ten, were anxious and annoyed. The
venerable old lady looked silly well as mad.
1t cannot be that she forgot herself and used
such an expression, 1 thought, and Just at that
minute the talk again began. Such a vocahu-
larry OF profanity never heard. 1t was de-
hvered like the charge from a gatling gun and
evidently came from the floor or underneath a
seat The Pullman car conductor walked in
from the buffet with an important air and
looked sharply around for tne villainous
speaker. He found him. In o cage at the old
lady's feet. imprisoned by wrapping of heavy
brown paper, was large parrot, which the con-
ductor said at once must be removed.
The old lady argued that bird swearing
didn't count, but the conductor grabbed the
cage and carried it into the baggage car.

Christian Science and Pain,

From the New York Herald
''Why don't the Christian scientists take up
dentistry" I inquired, as I writhed in the
torture chair Of skilled knight Of the tooth
drill few days ago. ut would be q good
thing for them to abolish pain such as 1 am
suffering and monkey with a nerve without dis
turbing the patient"
The dentist laughed. ''Toothache and the
processes of dentistry are hard nuts for the

MICROBES IN A TRUNK.
They Infect Two Families After Thirty
Years-A Moral.

From the Journal Of Surgery.
Thirty-fve years ago an opulent family lived
in one Of our most beautiful suburbs. Two
lovely children graced the happy household
But scarlet fever closed their eyes in death.
The grief-stricken mother gathered up little
slips, slippers and toys, with two golden tresses
and reverently laid them away in a trunk as
sad but priceless mementoes of her lost
darlings. War came with its tragic vicissitudes
and death time and again threw its shadow
over the hearthstone. Finally the place
passed into strangers hands. Last year two
families took it as a summer residence. The
children, six in number, with childish curiosity,
began to explore the secret recesses of the grand
old house. In q closet was found the forgotten
trunk. A touch dissolved the time-corroded
clasp, and one by one the sacred relics were re-
moved, until q faded newspaper was found
which told the pathetic story. Half-spelling
out the meaning, they took it to their mother,
who chided their curiosity and tenderly re-
placed the treasures. Five days after this &C.
currence two of the children were seized with
scarlet fever, and forty-elght hours later the
other four were attacked. Two cases were
grave, the others mild. All recovered. Was
the disease contracted from the trunk? think
SO, because there was no other ascertainable
source of infection.
Moral: Silks, wooden and hair, being good
fomites, should not be put away in alright
trunks mementoes of friends dying with in
fictitious diseases, because they may become, at
some remote period, the starting point of a
wide -spreading and disastrous epidemic,
calamity which was averted in this instance
only by complete isolation.

Mr.. Murat Halstead published in his paper q
reply to published statement that John A.
Logan, IT,, of Youngstown, Ohio, had refused
to send to the Murat Hslstead club of Cincin-

that his father, If living, would not want his
portrait hung in the rooms Of an organization
named after a man who had slandered, viliied
and traduced him. Mr.. Halstead says after re-
ferring to Gen. Logan: "It il regretable that
his son demands attention to the error that
clouded the close of his senatorial career, but
a generous people would more than once for
give for his fathers sake the impetuous
indiscretion Of the son of the great general of
the western volunteers. have only to say Of
myself that the young man mistakes me-"

Chicago yesterday endorsed her sons action in
refusing to forward his fathers picture to the
Murat Halstead club of Cincinnati. Il am
glad" she said. my son has done what he did
1t means no disrespect to Ohio people to whom

their regard for his father and his memory, he
has every reason to be and is grateful"
