Cincinnati has the champion absent minded
man. A gentleman living in the suburbs
went in a store on Walnut street to make a
few purchases. The only light in the store
was candle standing on the counter near
the money drawer. After making his pur-
chases he handed the proprietor a bill, and
after returning him the change the propri-
etor walked to the rear of the store to arrange
something, when suddenly he was left in the
dark he started toward the counter, and,
cropping around it, found not the candle, but
the change. 1t struck him then that prob
ably the man, in a fit of absent mindedness,
had taken the candle instead of his change
He started out after him, and, catching up
with him, saw that he had the bundle in one
hand and the candle in the other. After
apologizing for the mistake the stranger took
the change and gave back the candle.-Chi-

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES KICK.
They Refuse to Sign the Insurance Plan of
the Baltimore & Ohio.

CHICAGO, April 13.--Several hundred en-
ployes of the Baltimore--& Ohio railroad, in
Guiding engineers, shop men, switchmen
and brakemen, conductors and section
hands on the Chicago division were called
into the company's Office to-day and asked
by the OmcIais TO sign papers giving the
company the right to reserve certain per
cent. of wages to defray the costs Of in
surfing the employees against loss by sick
ness, accident etc, while in the ser vice.
There has been much dissatisfaction
with the workings of the scheme for some
time past, the men claiming they received
practically no benefit, and that the arrange
ment was very one-sided affair, resulting
chiefly in substantial addition to the COM
pany's eXchequer. This feeling manifested
itself today in a unanimous refusal to
sign the company's papers. All those re
fusing to sign were given to understand
that unless the papers were signed by
Monday they would be discharged A
mass meeting was held tonight at South
Chicago to protest against the company's
action.
There were 200 employees present at the
meeting, representing all branches affected.
Speeches were made embodying the charges
referred to- above and in addition COM
planning that the insurance was illegal, the
company having now no charter for insur-
ance purposes. 1t was decided that should
any wages be retained by the company on
pay day, April %, the employees should
strike instanter.

LONDON, April 13.-Captain Bond of the
steamer City of Chester which sighted the
abandoned steamer Danmark, believes the
passengers and crew are rescued. He
bases his belief on the fact that the Dan
marks boats are gone. A chain cable was
seen hanging over the bow of the Dan
mark: This leads Captain Bond to believe
she had been in tow of another vessel.
The number of persons on board the
steamer Danmark was 66S passengers and
ffty-four officers and crew.

A MODERN ROMANCE.

The Heroine of a Thrilling Love Tale
Rescued from the Lunatic Asylum.
The Lady Adela Fitz-Albany de Palisser at
the age of IL was weary of the hollow mock
cry of fashionable life and stated with its
empty pageantry. She scorned to revel in
the wealth which others had garnered and
longed for the independence of a self earned
crust.
In the dead of night she stole noiselessly
away from her fathers castle, and ere morn
ing broke, with the only hundred pound note
she had about her, she purchased the scanty
attire and the stock in trade of a homeless
wandering flower girl.
For the first time in my weary life, she
cried, ''shall taste the sweet fruits of labor"
But the Lady Adela forgot two things.
The blood that flowed in her veins was of the
deepest azure and nature had indelibly i'm
printed upon her lily arm the strawberry
mark of a ducal coronet.

has pricked her finger with rose thorn, and

Anxiously Green Brown looked and saw
that his Sophia spoke the truth-nay, more,
he noted on the fair white arm strawberry
mark, the sign of ducal parentage.
Leave this to me, dearest" he said, in a
commanding voice
VOLUME III.
Ten years passed by. Green Brown was
still bachelor, yet he wept not, neither did
he sigh; but, putting on his Sunday coat, he
sought in distant London suburb the pri-
vate lunatic asylum where ne had placed the
Lady Adela.

emotion, ''brush those straws from out your
hair and follow me to the hymeneal altar"
''This is too much" she sobbed. ut is for

Green, am thine forever"
They were married; Green Brown having

birthday, and in the fullness of time the joy

and taking the coronet from his aristocratic

Brown took the titles, the palaces and the

predicted was to become his within thirty days.
Shortly after wards tho band disappeared from the

a valuable gold watch and chain, ring, seal and
other jewelry, disappeared with them. Thurs

jewelry, but Mr.. Hosteter failed to recover seven
