A IEVEl HEAD.
The AAvaataes a Presence u u1ad n
IN Enoegsaey.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad the militia were ordered
10 be in readiness in case Of . riot but they
we're not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops
we're not to be called upon except in case Of
IN emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
put. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had e1-
perience, and he did not propose to lose his
head; tho only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy sheriff had lost his bead and
an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
hlong the road, but the OWL authorities
were able 70 oope with It withoutcalling on
the militia.
The test Of aman's real ability comes when
an emergency arises witch makes'a . hasty
call ON his good judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence OF mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures, is to
BE- relied on and will be put to the front
Men with level heads have the staying
Qualities which do not falter IN the face Of
danger. Otis A. Cole, Of Kinsman, O.,
June 10, 1890, writes: ''In the fall Of 1883
/ was feeling very III consulted doctor
and he said had Bright's disease Of the
kidneys and that he would not stand in my
thoes for the state Of Ohio" But he did
not lose courage or give up; he says: 81
saw the testimonial Of Mr.. John Coleman,
100 Gregory St., New Haven, Conn, and
wrote to him. In due time received an
answer, stating that the testimonial that
he gave was genuine and not overdrawn in
hny particular. took good many bottles
Of Warmers Safe Cure; have not taken any
for one year"
Gov. Hill II accounted . very successful
man he is cool and calculating and belongs
TO the class that do not lose their heads
when emergencies arise.
TIE new law regulating the work Of
minors in Russian factories Is not 30
stringent ss the old Law was. According
to the latter children below the age Of
twelve years were not allowed to work
et sll, but the now law allows children
pf ten and twelve years to be employed
ia factories. Children between the
bges Of twelve and fifteen years were
allowed to work only eight hours
daily and then only four hours at
time. The new law allows them to be
employed SIX hours st . time and in
some instances even six hours in tho
blight. or even on Sundays and holidays.
Women and girls between the ages Of
fifteen and seventeen years were not
allowed to work between 9 o'clock in
the evening and 5 o'clock in the morn
ing; now they may be employed at
pightwork. Thus the new law is more
favorable for the employers and less
protective for the minors and factory
women.
THE men Who charged at Balaklsvs.
and those Of later time who held
Fort Sumter for seventy hours, with
put food. almost without sleep, in che
face of . terrible storm of shot and
shell, were heroes, and the pages Of
history blazon their deeds. while poets
hnd orators never tire Of celebrating
them. What shall We say, however, Of
the quieter heroism that lays down life
with as much readiness and does duty
with as pure faith, and lacks the in
spring excitement of material sur
roundings, hoping, too, for no celebrity
and no renown? Is this not worthy Of
attention? A small news paragraph,
published recently, tells Of the death
Of Frank E. Smith, baggageman upon
p Kentucky railroad. Smith was in An
pccident. and wss terribly scalded, but
he walked . mile and half to the near
est station to warn an approaching
train, thus saving others from the fate
which he had met.
THE original Brazenose knocker has
been restored to its rightful building.
When the Oxford scholars migrated to
Stamford, in 1884, because Of feud in
che university, they took the knocker
with them, and since then it has been
on the house where they settled. The
other day the house was bought by
Brazenose College, and the historic
tnocker was taken off and homo. II
was nodded some time in the twelfth
