Senator Evarts Crushed.

Mr.. Evarts relates with much

with the dignified and important
clerk of the State Department. On
his way to call on Secretary Blaine
the other day he wished to make
some inquiry, and as he was pass

a young man whom he thought he
had seen in the Department, saying
to him: II beg your pardon, sir,
but are you not a clerk in the State
Department." The young person
thus addressed stopped short, gazed
at the great statesman, who was
once at the head of the Department
and whose fame is as broad as the

which disgust was mixed with
wounded pride, replied: ''No, sir, 1

Railroad Speed.

A dispatch from Philadelphia
says that recently a locomotive wss
speeded on a straight and level
piece of track on the Reading road.
and that a stretch of eight miles was
covered at an average speed of 80
seconds mile. This is at a rate of
80 miles an hour. That great sDeed
having been attained the American
railroad engineer will be unhappy
until he shall have attained the feat
Of running 1OG miles an hour. When
that speed has been reached there
will be a demand on the inventive
genius of the country for means of
carrying an atmosphere along with
the train just as the earth carries
it's atmosphere. A gale that travels
80 miles an hour can hardly be
withstood-and going 100 miles an
hour it will be necessary Tor all on
board the train to be sealed up in
side the ;cars; otherwise they will
be lifted off their feet by contact
with the atmosphere.

Why Dr.. HaWkes Declined

North Carolina probably never
produced an abler preacher than
DR.. Frances L. Hawkes., who, 9
quarter of century ago, was pas.
tor Of Grace Episcopal Church, New
York. Short, thick set, swarthy,
black-eyed and black-haired, he was
q striking parsonage. He was not
only a great pulpit orator, but con-
sidered the best reader in the New
York Episcopacy. His rather luz
urious family deferred him from
accepting Bishopric, which would
have been otherwise rendered. One
day q delegation from a Buffalo
church waited upon and invited him
to accept a pastorate in that city.
swell, gentleman, other things
being satisfactory, the question of
acceptance narrows down to a busi-
ness matter" said DR.. Hawkes..
"What salary do you offer?"
''Dr. Hawkes." said the spokes-
man, I'VE recognize that you have
a high reputation, and are willing
to be liberal. Our recent pastor has
received $500, but on account of
your standing we have decided to
offer you $500.
'My good man." cried the Doc
tor, gasping: 'do you know what
salary l am receiving here?"
mo, SIR"
II get $4,000 and this parson-
age, and as l have an expensive
family, l do not see my way clear
to accept your Offer"
The spokesman looked rather
sheepish, but made another essay.
IF we had known that fact, sir,
we would undoubtedly have looked
elsewhere; but you should remem-
Der that the work of the Lord must
be done, and as for providing for
your family you know the story Of
the ravens"

clergyman, quizzically, ! have made
the Bible my study ever since l was

ven incident perfectly, but nowhere

THE LOVERS COAT.

A tale of disaster to a young bus
mess mans pride and spring over
coat was told at the Midland the
other night by a friend of the vic.
tim. This young man is the per.
soni6cation Of modesty, or bashful'
ness, bat he has by diligent and
heroic efforts managed to lead q
young lady of Troost avenue to
the understanding that she is to be
his. Twice q week or more he has
gone to her home to impress upon
her the existence and Importance
of the contract. Sunday evening
the young man went to the home
of the young woman to have reit-
Grafton of the whole matter, and
the session was not completed until
1O:3O P. NJ. by pas watch. AS
young ladies will sometimes do,
this one followed the receding form
of the senior partner of the STEADY
company" organization to the front
door, and after a series of dilatory
motions an adjournment was agreed
upon. He stood on the threshold
to fasten his gloves, and she swung
the front door shut.
AS the spring lock snapped the
door nipped the skirt of his coat
and held it against his greatest
strength. He was prisoner, and
she who was to be his had aoated
up the stairway unmindful that he
who was to be hers was impaled by
his coat tail ON the veranda. This
bashful young man had no inclina-
ton to ring the bell, for pa would
answer it and he and the old gen
tlemau were not on particularly
sociable terms. He knew the only
recourse. and he slid from the coat
and left it tanning in the wind like
a scarecrow in a cornfield. Then
came the family's favorite young
dog and had few rounds with the
garment. When the maid servant
answered the milkman's bell Mon
day morning she beheld a wreck
that caused her to arouse the fam.
lily with the information that .
tragedy had been enacted at the
front door. PAS immediate exam
ination and diagnosis partially ex-
planned matters, and cost the young
man. besides the loss of his coat.
serious backset in that family.
All would have been well enough,
aside from tae coat, had not the
young man forgotten to unload
pocket half full of useless baseball
pool tickets, which lay spread out
on the floor, and which he should
have torn up in disgust, as baseball
enthusiasts do. instead Of harbor-
ing them to bring ruin to his cause.

The Retort CourtoouA

A New York society paper says
A certain fair young beauty Of
Washington, 80 the story runs, a
few days ago went to a reception
given by the foreign minister, whose
residence is not far from Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and who of late has
won quite a reputation as Don
Juan. This particular belle, who,
by the way, is the daughter of one
of the capitals oldest families,
vowed to her frierds that she was
not afraid of any man, especially
of the diplomat in question. After
performing the usual duties Of a
host, the minister persuaded the
young lady to accompany him to
the veranda, where a mutual ad-
miration society was organised. !.
The count observing that all his
remarks were we'll parried, went on
new tack in this way:
"Oh, vat a beautiful diamond you
haf in your corsage bouquet"
The retort was:
"Oh, yes, count, you know it's
the star in the milky way"
The minister Of one of Europe'a
great powers stared blankly for a
minute, and almost inaudibly sug-
gested that it was growing chilly
in the open air, and that perhaps
the eueats would make remarks
upon their absence.

A Sea Of Fire.

A sea of phosphorescent fire, ex-
tending as far as the eye could
reach, was passed 1876 miles east by
north of Cape Henlopen by the Al
Ian line steamer Manitoban from
Glasgow. Capt. Dunlop, master of
the Manitoban, said:
Early on Tuesday night the
heavens suddenly became overcast
and intensely dark, and / left the
bridge temporarily, leaving Second
Officer johnson in charge. l had
hardly reached the chart room when
the cry of fire was announced on
the starboard bow, and I rushed on
the bridge and found the sea to be
like a mass of flame, presenting a
scene of sublime grandeur.
Whenever a sea broke over the
bow of the vessel the drops of fire
spread over the rigging and decks
like the flying embers of genuine
conflagration, where sparks were
driven by a strong wind. Every
where on the decks were found tiny
sparkling phosphorescent beads,
which did not disappear until tho
next morning. For two hours the
ship was steaming through this sea
If fire, causing considerable alarm
to many of the superstitious sailors
and passengers. In the distance
the sea appeared to be breaking on
a strand, but dip of the log with
out finding bottom indicated that
shoal water was not near at hand"

A Night Of Agony.

Some years ago | was in Indian
apolis, Ind, on business and mad.
there the acquaintance of q very
pleasant and intelligent gentleman
who was a member of the senate OF
Indiana-Mr. John Coburn. HI
had not reached middle life. With
a fresh, ruddy complexion and
healthy look and vigorous step and
bearing Of early manhood, he had
an abundance of white hair on his
head that indicated a man of a;
least four-score years. I could not
understand how so youthful a man
in personal appearance should have
such remarkably white hair. Curl
osity led me, after very agreeable
and social acquaintance of several
days, to ask: ''Why is it, Mr.. Co.
burn, that as young a man as you
are should have 80 white q head o!
hair?"
He answered at once: "Oh, Mr..
Briggs, there is a terrible story con.
nected with my white hair" And
he told it to me as follows: IA few
years ago I was in the cattle busi-
ness, shipping them by carloads
to the East. One night I had a
train of several carloads and had
stopped on a side-track to let a pas
senger train pass and in getting on
to car in the dark my foot slipped
and for some miles l was supported
by one foot from falling on the
track, where must have been i'm
mediately crushed to death. My
strength was exhausted. thought
I must die. / could not hold on
any longer. The train was stopped.
/ was discovered and rescued alive.
My hair, when l attempted to get
on the car, was as black as night.
When I was rescued it was as white
as snow."-Buffalo Eagle.

ARE We 1ApPine THE EARTH?
Queer Ideas About What L Going On
Inside the Earth.

| One writer asks whether it is SAT
to bore the earth too much? III
assumes the earth to be a holloy
sphere filled with a gorgeous sub
stance called by us natural gas, ant
be thinks that tapping these reser
voirs will cause disastrous explo
sions, resulting from the Lighted
gas coming in contact with tha
which is escaping. Earthquakes,
he says, are probably caused by
vacums created by the outflowine
gas. He compares the earth to q
balloon foated and kept distended
by the gas in the interior, which, il
exhausted, would cauee the crust
to collapse, affect the motion of the
earth in its orbit, cause it to lose
its place among the heavenly bod.
les, and fall in pieces.
Another writer thinks that boring
should be prohibited by stringent
laws. He thinks there is possibility
of an explosion, though from an
other cause. Should such disaster
occur, "the country along the gas
belt from Toledo through Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky will be ripped
up to the depth of twelve or fifteen
hundred feet, and topped over like
a pancake, leaving a chasm through
which the waters of Lake Erie will
come bowling down. filling the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys and
blotting them out forever p
Still another theorist has investl-
gated the gas wells with telephones
and delicate thermometers, and he
announces startling discoveries. He
distinguished sounds like the boil
ing of rocks, and estimated that
mile and half or so beneath Find
lay the temperature of the earth is
$500 degrees. This scientist says an
immense cavity exists under Find
lay, and that here the gas is stored;
that . mile below the body of the
cavity is a mass of roaring, seeth-
ing fame which is gradually eating
into the rocky floor of a cavern and
thinning it. Eventually the flames
will reach the gas, . terrific explo-
sion will ensue, and Findlay and
its neighborhood will be blown sky

4 HORSES BROKEN nEART.
An Instance Where . Horse's Death
Was Directly Traced to Grief

The emotional life Of the horse i
remarkable. There are instances OF
record where the death of the horse
has been traced directly to grief
One instance is called to mind which
occurred more than 20 years ago
says the Western Sportsman. A
circus had been performing in the
little town of Unionville, Pa. when
one of the trained horses sprained
one of his legs so that he could not
travel. He was taken to the hotel
and put in a box stall. The leg
was bandaged and he was made as
comfortable as possible. He ate
his food and was apparently con-
tented until about midnight, when
the circus began moving out of
town. Then he became restless and
tramped and whined. AS the cara
van moved past the hotel he seemed
to realize that he was being deserted,
and his anxiety and distress became
pitiful. He would stand with his
ears pricked in an attitude of in
tense listening, and then as his ears
caught the sound of the retiring
wagons he would rush, as best he
could with his injured leg, from one
side of the stall to the other, push
ing the door with his nose and
making every effort to escape. The
who was a stranger to
him, tried to soothe him, but to no
purpose. He would not be COM
forted. Long after all sounds of
the circus had ceased his agitation
continued. The sweat poured from
him in streams and he quivered in
every part of his body. Finally
the stableman went to the house,
woke up the proprietor and told
him he believed the horse would
die if some of the circus horses
were not brought back to keep him
At about daylight the
proprietor mounted q horse and
rode after the circus. He overlook
it ten or twelve miles away and the
groom who had charge of the in-
] jured horse returned with him.
When they reached the stable the
horse was dead. The stableman
said that he remained for nearly an
hour perfectly still and with every
sense apparently strained to the
utmost tension and then, without
a sign, fell and died with
scarcely q struggle.
