An Honest Chr Conductor.

a prominent citizen of Union Hill
boarded a street car in Hoboken and
handed Conductor Spencer a coin. Spen-
Ger felt the milled edges, and, thinking
it was fifty cent piece, he put it III his
pocket without examining it and re-
turned forty-fve cents change, which
the other man quickly put in his pocket
a few minutes later the conductor was
making change inside the car and dis
covered that the supposed fifty cent piece
was $40 gold piece. He put it back in
his pocket and asked the Union Hill man
the denomination of the coin he had
given him. ut was a quarter" the
Union Hill man said.
q gave you twenty cents more than
you are entitled to-" Spencer remarked,
quietly.
The Union Hill man laughed, but did
not offer to return the change.
I'm satisfied if you are, " said Spencer.
Nothing more was said until the car
reached the top of the hill at Weehawken
and the man had shown no sign of re-
turning the twenty cents. Then Spencer
said:
If you keep my change I'll keep what
you gave me and call it square.
The Union Hill man put his hand in
his pocket and exclaimed: by Jove! l
gave you $40 gold piece"
You did, " replied Spencer, "and you
intended to swindle me out of twenty
cents. Here's your $40, but you don't
deserve to get it back"
The prominent citizen pocketed the
money and got off the car at the next
corner.-New \ ork Sun.

Ephesians, where Paul says that Christ
is our peace, ''who hath made both

ken down the middle wall of partition"
1t was natural that the discovery of
this interesting stone could not be kept
secret, and accordingly Ganneau made it
known in a letter to The Athen8um, and
wrote monograph on the meaning and
historical value of the inscription. But
when an attempt was made to secure the
stone for the Louvre, at Paris, the pos
SCISSOR of the school house where it was
found, under the impression, which is
very prevalent in the east, that every
archaeological object is worth an i'm
mense sum of money, demanded $1,000
When the Turkish go, ernor Of Jerusalem
heard of the discove. of the stone he
had it dug up and brought to his palace,
when he himself offered it for sale at
$4,000.
But there was no buyer. Suddenly
the stone disappeared and no trace of it
could be found anywhere. When, thIr.
teen years after this, Dr. Mordtmann. of
Constantinople, a we'll known Semitic
scholar, was one day examining the
treasures in the Turkish museum, Tshi-
Mil Kiosk, in ConstantinOple, he discov-
cred the lost stone, and published his
discovery in the journal of the German
"Palestini society" Q884). The original
stone is still kept in this museum, which
is under the direction of the Turkish ar
ch@ologist, Hamdi Bey, who became
known several years ago by his extern
sive excavations Of sarcophagi at Siden.

tanned is in every particular a faithful
fac-simile of the original.-Philadelphia

PnnIfrY YHrd Notes.

The hen house, more especially where
wooden floors are in use, is not gener-
ally appreciated. Any kind of clean
loan or clay soil will answer. Occa-
sionally a portion of this fresh earth
may be thrown around the floors or
scattered under the roosts. A compost
heap may shortly be begun. Mix the
droppiugs from the roosts where the
fouls pass the night with some of this.
Rake it away one or twice in a fortnight,
and next spring you viii have a rich
mass of manure for your vegetable gar
den, or top dressing for the grass or
lawn around the house that cannot be
excelled for its quality. 1t will cost you
nothing but a little easy labor once a
week. The earth will help TO keep your
house atmosphere pure, says Poultry
Yard, from which the foregoing is taken.

FIG. 2-PIG TROUGHs.

When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed fat
tening hogs.
1t required y pounds, or one-fourth
bushel, of ground oats to produce one
pound of pork, when fed with equal parts
by weight of corn meal.
One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
Corn fed pigs gained A. pounds per
week, and ate about 81 pounds of corn
per 100 pounds of live weight.
Indian corn is the most economical
pork producing material during the win
ter months in regions who're extensively
grown.

Daring Attempt to Fire Freight Cars
In the Grand Trunk Yard.

Yesterday forenoon man named Ander-
son met PRESS reporter on the street and
said that If he wanted good item he could
give 1t to him.. He said that earlier in the
morning he had been down at Fish Point
looking after some boats, and that on his re-
turn be made short cut up through the
Grand Trunk yard, walking between the
freight trains. He said that In one train he
noticed several cars loaded with narrow
flooring boards. tied together in bundles
with jute twine. Several of these ties were
burned off and the wood above them scorch-
ed. At first, Mr.. Anderson said he thought
the ties had been set ON fire by sparks from
the locomotive, but there were so many
burned places, ard they were in such out of
the way places, inaccessible for sparks that
he concluded that they were set on fire by
someone who wished to start connagration
in the railroad yard The dampness of the
wood prevented the fire from taking hold of
1t.
The PRESS reporter at once went down
into the railroad yard to investigate for him
self. The train in question stood on a side
track the second to the left of the main line,
and consisted of fourteen cars loaded with
timbers. spruce mensons, scantling and
flooring boards, with two box cars loaded
with shocks and a coal car loaded with edg-
ings. The car on which the most burns had
occurred, was that which contained the
noorlng boards. On one side. the right, a
serious blaze had occurred. One string had
been below another and the bottom one be-
ing set Off caught the one above it and char
red the boards considerably on the edges,
although the dampness of the boards pre-
vented spread. On the other side Of the
car five separate attempts had been made to
IRE 1t, although in each case the wetness of
the lumber prevented anything more than
the burning of the jute tie and the scorchiDg
Of the boards above.
On the next car but one, however. a fat,
loaded with spruce dimensions, more de-
termined attempt had been made. Quite
collection of jute ties. and a handful of oily
waste, had been tucked away in recess and
touched off, communicating to the dimen-
sions above, charring the edges badly.
These like the other boards were wet, so the
fire did not spread. The reporter searched
around the other cars near by loaded with
shocks, edgings and paper. but could find no
more signs of the fire bug. One more sign
was found however, for in passing between
two ears several half-burned matches were
found on the ground, showing conclusvely
that something beside locomotive sparks set
the fires.
1t is fortunate for the Grand Trunk, and
perhaps the rest Of the city, that the lumber
on the cars was wet, otherwise there might
have been another confagration added to
the list In this city.

DROWNED IN THE sLuIcE.
Coleman o'DonneII's Boat capsI7.es
in Back Bay.

Yesterday afternoon Coleman O'Dennell,
a laborer, about 40 years of age, emp) Dyed by
Patrick Feeney, took his wife out 1or sail
In Back Bay. The boat was one he pur-
chased from a Swede some time ago, and
was rather an old affair. After sailing about
some time, O'Donnell induced a friend OF
his, Patrick Flaherty, to join him and bring
Mrs. Flaherty along with him. The four
then spent quite little TIME on the water,
and about $50 p. no. though: they would pass
through the slulceway in the Marginal Way
on their return to land.
The boat went into the sluiceway and was
caught by the current, partially turning 1t so
that 1t ran on to the way and capsized.
Mr.. Charles Pettis and several others hap
pened to be on shore at the time. and they
threw ropes to the party. Flaherty, Mrs.
Flaherty and Mrs. 0'Donnell were all res
cued, but O'Donnell didn't seem to have
presence of mind to catch rope and was
swept away by the current Parties dragged
for him and hunted the flats for the body,
and about $50 p. M, when the tide was out,
Jerry Donahue recovered 1t ON the flats and
carried 1t to the late residence of the de-
ceased, at No. SO hammond street. The cor
oner and Mr.. Rich were notified.
Mr., O'Donnell leaves widow and two
children.

WiLLISToN CHURCH.
MRS. Quinton Speaks for the indian
Association.

At the Williston church last evening
service was held in the interests of the
Maize branch of the National Woman's In
dian Association. Mrs. j. J. Frye. president
of the Maine branch, had charge of the SER
vice. which she opened by reading appro-
pirate selections of scripture and offering
prayer. The speaker of the evening, Mrs
Amelia s. Quinton of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the National Association, was then
introduced. Mrs. Quinton said:
1t is written in scripture that the crooked
ways shall be made straight and the rough
places smooth. And we who have the af-
1alrs OF the Indians in our hands realize the
truth OF 1t. The crooked ways are made
straight, or at least good beginning has
Deen made. No longer, she said, are the
agents chosen because of political fitness !:
out men who have genuine desire to ele-
vate the sayages are taking. the posts and
t me. influence is a power for good that is
leit. NO longer are shameless deception and
downright fraud in the furnishing of sup
plies allowed, but board consisting of such
men as the late General Clinton b. Fisk. and
PRESIDENT Smiley of Gates College has it In
charge, and the work is honestly done. No
longer are the Indians kept confined in their
reservations in the capacity of prisoners,
put land is decided to them in severalty and
tney are assuming the rights and privileges
OF citizenship. But, said Mrs. Quinton,
while much has been done, much yet re.
mains to do. A beginning has been made.
but the rough places are not ali smoothed
yet.
She then went on to speak at consider
able length of the extreme difficulty of Sc,
curing legislation for the benefit of the In
dams, and of the insufficiency of the means
at hand for carrying out the work begun.
She spoke of the need of Industrial schools
and training, and of the eagerness of the In
dians to profit by them, instancing several
promising young men and women who had
had exceptional advantages themselves and
who had returned to their tribes to carry on
the work of uplifting the remainder. Mrs.
Qulnt0n spoke OF the need of the Indians in
spiritual way. She said that as they were
means were furnished them, so they were
quick to seize upon the lessons of the Master
II they could but hear of them. She dwelt
upon the spiritual poverty of many of the
tribes, telling of the nearly total abandon
ment of the efforts of the Catholic fathers to
christianize them, and the want of some
successors. She said that the Woman's Ma
tional Association had this object in view
and had already done much work, having es-
tablished q missions. The plan of this es-
tabliShment pursued in each case, was to
purchase ten or dozen acres from the
tribes, build chapel and a cottage, and
then to give it up to some of the religious de.
nominations which will agree to support it.
In closing Mrs. Quinton made an appeal to
the Maine Association to raise money to
found such a mission, suggesting the
Shawnee tribe as most promising field.
Mrs. Frye also in closing the services made
an appeal for money to found a mission
among the Shawnees.

Friday noon the schooner Georgia Willard,
Capt. Mallock, left Portland for Jeffrey's
Banks on fishing excursion. Saturday
morning, when off the Banks getting ready
for fishing and jogging along under light
breeze, fishing schooner going the same
way, approached her and suddenly the man
at the strangers wheel, apparently became
excited, put the helm hard-a-port and
crashed into the Willard on the port quarter
box and three planks, filling the cabin with
water. The stranger kept on her course,
whereupon Capt. Mallock chased the
stranger In his disabled vessel and ascer-
tanned it was the Urania S., of Vinalhavep.
Then he brought his vessel to Portland.
