A Rich Mans Kind Act.

An incident in y Fourth avenue car con
tanned just grain of beauty. All the seats
were occupied, when an old, poorly dressed
woman entered at Forty second street The
first one to offer his seat was well built,
clean cut gentleman considerably under the
middle age, his face smooth shaven and firm
his eyes clear and alert, his whole bearing
engaging and graceful. The poor old womat
was one of those loquacious creatures who
often talk away in an innocent manner to
strangers, and SO, after thanking the man
who had given her a seat, she told him of her
intended trip to New Jersey to see her mar
ried daughter. She wanted to go to the
Christopher street ferry, she said, and didn't
know, for the life of her, how to do it. Her
new acquaintance listened politely to all she
said, and assured her that he would see that
she was transferred to the blue car at Eigh-
teenth street, which runs to the ferry.
The gentleman's bearing toward the simple
old woman was gaining the admiration OF
every one in the car, he was so patient and
good natured with her. At Eighteenth street
he stopped the car. Just then the desired other
car shot across. Rushing to the front plat
form, the obliging gentleman called loudly
to the driver of the cross town car. Then he
helped the old woman from one car to the
other, ran back, and smiled good hnmoredly
over all the trouble he had been put to.
The writer recognized this good Samaritan
He was Cornelius Vanderbilt. He had chosen
to do some unusual conductors work on one
of his own lines of cars.-New York SIln.

Gan the natives were insane with ex-
element, and they ran wildly up and down
the edge of the foe, jabbing sharp lance
into the whale at every opportunity. As
they worried him the water became dyed
deeply with blood
cat every rising of the whale it seemed
as if Mung-gy was drowned. The capse
was thrashed about mercilessly by the
whales tail until only fragments were left
for Mung-gy to cling to.
AT last, completely exhausted and wor-
ried almost to death by frequent landings,
the whale lay, buoyed up on top of the
water by the pokes, and with few more
thrusts he rolled overhead.
Mung-gy, now completely chilled through,
and nearly drowned, was rescued. Work
was soon begun on the whale, and by night,
with all the natives working together. he
was cut in and the blubber and meat
dragged ashore by the dogs, where it was
slowed away in caches, as the next win
ter's supply of food.
II had become so intensely interested in
this struggle that l had forgotten my own
crew. and did not know that they, too, had
caught whale. But it was a tame affair
compared to the other, for the men sailed in
a whaleboat out to the whale, put two
bombs into him and rolled him over dead

Now that the millions of acres of this
magnificent country are to be opened to
settlement, thousands of anxious home
seekers are pressing towards the Prom
ised Land" Twelve O'Clock, noon, of
April 22d, 1889, is the time named in the
Presidents proclamation when they can
cross the line into Oklahoma. All who
intend going should inform themselves
fully before starting, as to the easiest,
quickest and best way to reach the coun-
try in time to secure their homesteads and
to be on the ground ready for business at
the earliest possible moment. Examine
the official maps and make no mistake as
to your route The Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe r. R. is absolutely the only rail
road built and operated into and through
Oklahoma Two daily trains in each direc-
ton through the country. The L. >. Land
Office for the eastern land district of Okla
homa is located at Guthrie, directly on the
line of the Santa Fe. The L. S. Land
Office for the western district is located at
kingfisher Stage Station, thirty miles west
of Guthrie and off the line of any railroad.
kingfisher Stage Station is, therefore,
most easily reached via the Santa Fe to
miles less stage ride and twelve hours
shorter time than via any other route to
Kingisher. The Santa Fe Route connects
with the important lines from all
parts of the country, and reaches
Oklahoma direct from Chicago. Kan

The fearful increase in mortality result
ing from the bites of rabid animals IS
alarming, and the fact that there have
been fatal results from the bites of ami
mails which had exhibited no signs of
rabies, adds to the alarm. The case in
Walton county, Georgia, is an instance
The poison was communicated by the bite
of an ordinary house cat, which had never
seemed to be mad. The reporter heard
Yesterday of remarkable case of a lady
who was poisoned by fondling and kissing
a poodle dog The dog had distemper, and
died OF it, and the lady's blood was pol
soned TO degree that her body was broken
out in great ulcers and sores from head TO
foot. From beautiful, healthy woman
she soon wasted to mere skeleton, suffer-

"A prominent railroader informs
The News that within short time the
Northern Pacific Will put 81 ,000, coo
into Old Superior property, not for
Improvement, but partly as specula-
ton and partly TO provide the road
with facilities when Duluth and " est
Superior VIII be crowded fer more
room than they are now. " Duluth,
saidha, can just now handle al of the
roads business easily, but | expect to
see a time before many years when II
viii be found convenient to handle
some of the enormous traffic at Old
Superior.
We find the above extract in the
Duluth News of recent date. The
News evidently feels worried over the
matter, and would have its readers
imagine that the Northern Pacific peo
PIE happened to have just a million OF
dollars which they had no earthly use
for, 50 they concluded to bury it in SUI
perior clay. Yes, Mr.. News, the
Northern Pacific people are going to
invest 81 900, 900 III ''Old Superior" but
not SO much as a speculation as. for
the improvement Of the large holdings
they already have here in the way Of
real estate. Among the improve
mentS TO be made Will be the improve
ment of their roadbed along the bay
front and putting on short line train;
putting III large and substantial
terminal facilities iii the way of tracks
and dOGkeS; building Il good and neat
passenger depot at the foot of Becker
avenue, and with various other items
of improvement thoroughly fit them
selves to do their business here now
and not wait until Duluth room gets
more crowded.
Another thing the Northern Pacific
people might do with great advantage
to themselves and the rest of man
kind, is to revive the Stickney scheme,
build Il double track low grade road
from the mouth Of the Nemadji to st.
Paul, straighten the crooks in the \ e
madji; dredge out the center for a
couple of miles back, and thus make
an immense amount Of the best dock
room at the head of the lake, and then
put on . line Of lake steamers to run
in connection with their trains.
This would give the n. T. road the
best feeder 1t has or the line between
Tacoma and Chicago
These are some OF the things the
Northern Pacific people have in view,
and the 81 ,000,000 now spoken of is but
a FIRST in5talment of what they expect
to put into Old Superior, or perhaps it
would be better to say this is the sec
ond installment, as the 1900 city lots
worth at least 81 ,000,000, which they
pat into the Consolidated Land Com
pany in June for the purpose of send
4 ing "Old Superior" to the front,
should be properly considered as Their
! first installment for carrying out their
/ plans. Oh, yes, Mr.. News, the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company is al
right and 50 is-"OlI Superior.
