Jim Bowie ouieted Them.

There were three Bowie brothers
James. Stephen and Rein. They were
all lighting men," as dangerous indi-
viduals We're denominated in those times,
but were not hullies. They never com
menced difficulty, and in the ordinary
intercourse with their neighbors were
quiet and courteous, but always ready
to defend the weaker side. An old Meth
odist minister, who died years ago, one
Of the pioneers of Christianity in the
early days Of the southwest. also told me
a story illustrating this characteristic.
II was holding a meeting ut Church
Hill. Miss, in 1880, said the venerable
preacher "when a lot of roughs. flat
boatmcn and others disturbed the con
gregation to such a degree that thought
there would be serious trouble SO, just
before the evening service was to begin,
| called together several gentlemen to
know what should be done if the trouble
was renewed. Among those present was
q small man whom had not met before
and about whom there was nothing re-
markable except his low, soft voice and
peculiar ringed gray eyes. i don't think
there will be any more trouble, parson,

She Slated Him.

There was rather a sensational attempt
at burglary the other night at Minneapo-
lis, MINI. Mr.. jackson, foreman in the
blacksmith shop at the Industrial works,
recently fell heir to a very large fortune
from the old country. The other day
some inquisitve stranger, to whom MFR.
jackson gave little attention, asked him
if the expected legacy had yet arrived.
He was dismissed with a brief answer,
and the matter would probably have been
forgotten were it not for the startling
events which followed
That very night, some time after 10
o'clock, Mrs. Jackson was awakened by
a noise at one of the windows in the bed
room in which she and her husband were
sleeping. This frightened her, but fright
was increased to terror at the sight of a
man stealthily creeping over the window
sill into the room.
The plucky little woman never delayed
proceedings by stopping to scream or
shake her husband, but. springing to
the floor, grasped a convenient bed slat,
swung it with the grace and force Of a
professional baseball player, made hit
the first time, and with a resounding
whack sent the stunned intruder back
through the window. Her temerity was
followed by a natural reaction, and il
was noon before she recovered her nerves
sufficiently to tell what had occurred.
The open window and blood on the bed
slat suggested that there had been serious
trouble, which was fully explained when
Mrs. Jackson was able to tell her story.

On Sunday, August 95, the B. & O. R
r. will run an excursion to Bay Ridge,
Md, the well known and popular resort
of the Chesapeake bay. A special train
will leave Delaware avenue depot at Z 10
a. m, Market street depot at 40 a. m,
this latter train connecting with special

which will make it the cheapest excur-
sion considering the attractions, which
has left Wilmington this season. The
route is b. & o. r. r. to Canton. thence
by the palatial steamer "Columbia" to
Bay Ridge and return. Aside from the
delightful ride on the beautiful Chesa
peake bay, the Bay Ridge Company has
provided for this occasion a grand and
unique entertainment, consisting of fire
works representing the lombard
mint Of Fort Sumter during the
civil war. Tais display viii repre-
sent vividly the great war ships man

than the price Of the ticket. The thous-
ands who have visited Bay Ridge this
season bear witness to the fact that no
resort possesses so many attractions,
among which are boating salt water
bathing, fishing, grabbing, electric rail
way, gravity railway etc. Also music by
the United States Naval Academy Band.

Johnstown food sufferers. The Chicago
committee ascertained that the funds
were improperly expended and withdrew,
the Wilmington committee determined

on its own Judgment. Meantime the
scandal Of politics has been introduced
and several Republican politicians have
been accused Of influencing the distribu
tion Of the funds to assist their canvasses

have labored under the delu-
sion that bookkeeping was a
