Nerve Makes Fortunes.
T From the New York Herald.

from the New York Herald.
John Cauley, hackman, averted a
disaster to his equipage, himself and
his fare Friday morning, no doubt say
ing the lives exposed and laid the
foundation of his fortunes under cir
cumstances peculiar to life in the great
metropolis. He lives in Brooklyn,
owns his own hack and drives over
every morning to stand at the City
Hall.
Just before six o'clock Edward Has
kins, cattle and horse ranchman Of
Sydney, Neb., took Cauley's hack to
90 to the northeast portion of town.
When Eighteenth street and Fourth
avenue we reached the hack was going
at a rapid pace. Suddenly gong re-
sounded behind the hack and Cauley
turned to see a chemical engine turn
ing into the avenue from Seventeenth
street with the horses at a gallop. The
hack was on the left side of the street
under headway not to be checked
within a dozen yards. A furniture
truck and wagon coming down filed
the other half of the street. 1t was
the thought of an instant to Cauley
that he must cut around the corner to
the right and leave the chemical free to
it's tornado like course up the avenue.
Another engine now appeared with Its
horses on dead run.
Destruction seemed inevitable. Cau-
ley was already thrown back upon the
roof of his vehicle with all his weight
and strength upon the lines, but the
rolling hack was pushing upon the
heels of his horses, and its impetus
was assured to carry it into the middle
of the cross street. There doom awaited
it in the shape of a great, brass, fire
breathing engine. 1t was moment
of fate, and Cauley was equal to 1t.
With the same dextrous stress that be
intended to apply in rounding the cor
ner he turned his plunging horses into
the gutter, over the high curb with a
frigntful leap and surge of the springs,
across the walk and headlong through
the foldidg doors of a dry goods store.
There, quivering with their full length
within the store, the horses were
halted. The engines, narrowly passing
each other, swept on with cheer for
the hack.
At the Hoffman House later on Mr..
Haskins said: "I was scared, but
when I saw my driver backing the
horses out of the store without hair
turned and apologizing to the ex-
cited store people for his intrusion, l
was struck with admiration. I was
white, and when I saw that not a
cents damage had been done, and the
driver was saying, coolly It's all right,
sir; no harm doneD made up my
mind that a man of his nerve with
horses was a man for me. Anyhow, l
owed him something. I've bought his
hack and given it to his brother, and
I'm going to take him down into No
Mans Land to superintend a herd OF
1.400 head of horses"

REIGN OF THE RED,

The Popular Color of Next Season Settled
Upon by Ultra Fashlonables.
1t is always a matter of interest, es-
pecially to ladies of extensive ward
robes, to know at the beginning of the
season what is likely to be the popular
color, for there is seldom or never sea-
son that there is not some color that
takes precedence of all others in fem
mime attire. Last summer 1t was gray
and the summer before it was blue.
This summer it is to be red. The most
glowing color will make of the most
fashionable girl of the coming summer
being so radiant that it will hardly be
safe in any rural peregrinaton for her
to encounter any thing wearing horns.
But there are reds and reds. All re-
member the cardinal summer, but this
time the red Of reds is to be pigeons
blood"
A very stylish arrangement for bru-
nettes will be this red in light silk,
elaborately trimmed with black laco.
1t will also be worn by light blondes,
just by itself or with a becoming trim
ming, as. for instance, very narrow gilt
braid. Marrow gilt braid, by the way.
will be one of the most fashionable and
extensively used trimmings of the sea-
son. Such u gown, of course, involves
q complete costume, and there will be
red hats and even rcd shoes to match.
Some of the most stylish people, who
are not altogether sure about the com
plete investiture in red, have already
compromised by getting red silk waists
or shirts to wear with different skirts
and made pretty much the same as the
blouses OF last season, with the eXcep-
ton that the shoulders are not quite so
high nor are the sleeves SO larg", The

IN A CALICO FROCk.
A Georgia Patriarch Who VIII Not Wear
Male Attire.

Male Attire.
"You ought to have been in East
Macon yesterday" remarked Engineer
Flanders to an Atlanta Constitution
man.
"Why so?''
There was the biggest sensation of
the season in that interesting suburb for
u few hours"
"Well, go on and tell the story"
81, among others, was standing on the
, sidewalk near old man Henry Jones'
store, and saw queer-looking object
coming down the street. 1t was man
somewhat above the ordinary height,
with long, snow-white beard and q
pair of white mustaches that nearly
completed the covering of his face. lie
wore a womans old-fashioned fly bon
net, which Topped over his face and
concealed his head, giving him the ap-
pearance of one of those pictures of pa-
triarchs that you SEQ in Sunday-school
books"
"Why did he wear it?'
'Ilold on! That is not all. He had
on n calico frocl1 that reached to his
ankles cut in tho old-fashioned body
and-skirt style, which made him look
still more like patriarch. The strings
of his apron hung down behind, like
those of country-woman in her every
day dress of twenty years ago"
"Was he drunk?"
"Why, no, not by any means, and
from the way he looked and acted |
don't suppose he was ever drunk in his
life. AS. he came striding down the
streets the legs of his heavy boots ex-
posed at every stride, he was about the
greenest specimen Of humanity ever
struck. There was n mob at his heels
and every body stared hard as he passed,
and it looked as il circus was passing
down the street in grand parade and all
East Macon had turned out to see the
elephants"
'Who was hep"
His name is Roberts, and he was
born and still lives in Jones County.
For some reason that do not know he
has worn female attire all his life, or at
least since he was ten years old, rs / was
informed lie has papers issued by the
State authorities granting him permis-
sion to wear woman's clothes, and for
that reason tho local authorities never
Interfere with him. He had been of
somewhere and was returning to his
home when he passed through East Ma
con.
That is curious story, but it is a
true one. ! do not know why he
chooses to wear skirts in preference to
trousers, but he does, and that's why no
created such sensation as he walked
the streets. He is quite old, and they
say he is u man of good intolligenc.
In any thing except his queer cosshme
he looks like any other old farmer, but
that frock and bonnet raised rumpus
