Rev. j. H. Hartman, in order to make
q point clear, occasionally tells a story.
He was addressing the Baptist ministers
meeting upon the advisability of estab-
fishing German Baptist churches, and
was explaining that people are always
glad to hear their own language in a land
where their language is not generally
used. He said he had felt that way him
self some years g when travelling in
Europe. Wherever he went he heard
foreign languages that he could not un-
derstand and he longed to heal English
once more. One day when sitting in a
grand cathedral he put his handsome
new hal or a chair near by and was ad-
miring the beautiful features of the
cathedral when a very large woman
walked to the chair and sat down on the
hat.
why, my friend, you might have
known that you could not get in that
hat" exclaimed the reverend gentleman.
my dear sir, l beg your pardon" was
the reply.
81 had not heard my native language
for so long," continued Mr.. Hartman,
THAT l was delighted to find some one
who could use it. SO l forgave the
stranger Immediately Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

The ElIsIer Engagement.

Tie G~ouerness, the domestic comedy
drama in which Efhe Ellsler will make her
temperance at the opera house Satur-
day night is described as being an ex-
ceptionally good play, in fact one of the
few successful ones of the season now SO
nearly ended, and Miss Ellsler's perfor-
nance of the heroine has called forth
more complimentary notices than any
thing she has appeared in for some time.
The New York Times speaks of her as
follows:
There has hardly ever been a divided
opinion as to Efie Ellsler's ability AS an
artist. She has spent a hard, earnest,
though profitable novitiate in her PROBES
sion, and few women of the stage are
so well equipped, both mentally and in
stage training for the position she occu-
pies to-day. Ever since her 18th year
she has been a practical studen: of the
art, and her career embraces a long series
of stage successes. She was trained in
the school that made the famous actresses
whose ranks are growing thinner year by
year, and her early begi1niug under such
auspices has placed her, while yet a young
woman. where few of the latter day ac-
tresses can reach her.

All Indications, says the Laramie Senti-
mel, point to a revival and better times 10
the cattle business. Prices are already
on the advance and as the range is pretty
well md of the old cows. the beeves to be
marketed will be Young COWS and steers.
The demand for American cattle in
Europe still continues and all the regular
space on cattle carrying steamships sail
ing from Boston, are under contract until
the end of next September. Although
the loss in some parts OF Wyoming dur
ing the past winter has been heavy. this
year will undoubtedly be more profitable
than the one Just past. Cattlemen generally
are feeling pretty good over the outlook
and in two or three years cattle ranches
will be in demand as much as they were
several years ago.

A Pretty Good story OF the Glorious
Days of 1867.

None of the old timers have any recol-
lection of the following occurrence re,
lated in the New York SIN, but agree
thai it is a pretty good story anyway:
Anyone who knew Cheyenne when il
was the terminus OF the Union Pacific
railroad will admit that it was a hard
town. There was more cutting and shoot
ing there In a given time than any West.
ern own could boast of, and no doubt
most of the blood.letting was a good
thing for the community.
In the palmy days of the town I had a
business there, and next to me was a
Jew clothier. He zane on fresh from
New York knowing nothing of Western
ways, and he hadn't got his goods in be-
fore he was half scared to death. But
for the fact hat the boys would have
bursted in his shanty he would have kept
the door locked half the time. The
toughs soon caught on to the fact that he
was a coward and one after another went
in and bulldozed him and had great fun
at his expense. | privately advised him
to get a GUT and wing some of them. but
he raised his hands in holy horror and
exclaimed:
"Gest heafensl but | nefer handle
nothings but clothingl l gif ten tousand
dollar to be oudt of disl"
His cowardice was pitiful to behold,
but a climax was coming. One after
o o a tough called Apache Joe entered
the store, having three more toughs with
him, and began the usual routine. The
Jew begged and entreated and actually
cried, and in his disgust at such conduct
Apache Joe kicked him. That kick
acted like magic. The Jew sprang for
ward, grabbed the revolver which Joe
had temporarily deposited on the counter
and | heard six shots fired as fast as |
could count. Running in, l found
Apache Joe and one of his chums
kicking their last, while the other
two were badly wounded. 1t took
three OF us to hold the jew from further
violence. The worm had turned and be-
come a tiger. After he was acquitted by
the coroner's jury, of which | was one, he
bought a brace OF revolvers, began to
practice shooting, and in two weeks was
known for fifty miles around as The
Dangerous jew" The most exaggerated
stories of his proves were afloat, and in
side of a month he had to build on, hire
two clerks, and get a new stock. 1t was
the making OF him socially; financially
and all other ways, and | know that his
action assisted very materially to help the
law abiders get the upper hand and drive
the lawless gangs further on.

A BAD CASE OF RAPS
Mysterious Sounds at the E.Magny
Residence.
A SpirituaIist Puts Her Hoodoo on
the Hotel Man.
Committees Investigate, but With
out Result.

The residence Of Earnest Magny, at
Pebrican and Twentieth, has developed
into a haunted house. 1t is a double
dwelling and raps are heard in the noe
cupied portion after midnight and when
the lamps are turned low. Mr.. MaRny
is duly myst;ied and those who believe in
spooks are confident that the noises are
q Supernatural manifestation. The
sounds were heard a week ago or more
and have kept up quite regularly since.
Voluntary committees have formed at the
Normandie several evenings and visited
the house. listening to the raps and in
vestigsted without result.
Mr.. Magney is not a %spirituslIst, but
after careful study thought that he might
have incurred the displeasure of a lady
medium who has been at his hotel seven
or eight days, and that she had placed a
hoodoo on him. He attended one of her
seances and was a %scoffer. She has fallen
in with his theory aud gays the raps
will continue until Elrnost becomes SON
verted to her science.
The noises are heard right along, and
no explanation of their occurrence can be
given. They have been ascribed to the
wind, but are not noticeable during.d lylight
gales. Nice have been charged with crea-
ting the disturbance, but they must be
be mighty intelligent little creatures to

The nearest approach to the fast trains
of English lines is shown in France,
where the Northern Railway company
has a certain number of trains running
at an average speed of 36 miles an hour.
The Eastern railway has a few at "a 1-2
miles an hour, and the Orleans railway
has twelve trains between Paris and Bor-
deaux at 50 1-2 miles an hour. The so
called express trains of the other French
companies are run at an average speed
of less than 32 miles an hour, and the
express trains of Belgium at precisely
the same average speed, while those OF
Holland very slightly exceed it. On the
railways of North Germany there are
some forty trains which attain a speed
OF between 81 and IS miles an hour, but
h remainder, ever those which claim
the title express" do not exceed an
average speed of 81 miles an hour, while

An FL Dorado Springs (Mo.) CORE,
spondent tells of a singular attachment!
between Il Berkshire pig and a kitten.
Both animals fed from the same trough,
and appeared to take delight in helping
each other. During the winter, when the
Kittens feet got cold, kitty would hunt
up piggy, now and then giving a loud
meow, upon hearing which the porker
would answer with a friendly grunt.
Pussy, in finding its friend, would take
the nearest route for the hogs back, gem
orally climbing up its long snout.
During cold nights kitty slept on the
pigs back, and in the morning would be
found in the same convenient place rid
ing to the barn, about a furlong distant,
where puss caught mice. 1t was, indeed,
an amusing sight to see piggy wading
through deep snow with the cat toes
turned in) on its back, evidently as COM

A Simple Dog Story.

An exchange tells of the peculiar ap
petite OF a dog owned by Butte CITY
merchant, whose latest exploit was to
swallow diamond stud, lunch on a roll
of greenbacks, and, by way of dessert.
thoughtfully masticated pair of British
half hose. Evidently this is no ornery
purp, still for marked epicurean eccen-
tricities it cannot compare with SAT-
fron-hued bird dog we once owned. This
thoroughbred animal developed delicate
tastes quite early in life.
On one occasion while we were absent
from the house he plundered cage con-
tanning pet canary bird, killed the
Auttering inmate, plucked the feathers
and then laid the bare little body in a
frying pan over a gas stove, where it
was left until the skin turned beauti-
full brown. We came back just as The
intelligent canine was adding the proper
proportions of pepper and salt to the
cooked morsel, when he bolted the meal
hastily for fear of interruption and then
scooted through the open door.
After remaining away for two days he
returned with fine young pullet in his
mouth. stolen from a neighboring hem
merry, and this he placed at our feet,
wagging his tail and winking his eyes
significantly, as much as to say, ''This is
to square the roast canary bird" Il
really was very tender chicken.-Sam

The Dangers of RaiIroadinp.

'sThere is no branch of railroading
that is safe, is saying among men who
make their living on the iron rails, and
q mans long service and skillful knowl-
edge do not throw absolute safeguards
about him. Poor Martin Ryan, who
had the science of railroading down to
the finest notch, was killed by his own
train after eighteen years of service.
Hubert Graham, a yard man of Rich
mond, who worked for the Pennsylvania
company twenty-five years, was struck
by pony engine few days ago. Sam
uel Morgan's body was brought here
last night. Morgan was an engineer on
the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indian
apolis for thirty years. Advancing age
incapacitated him from running an en-
gine, and he was given charge of wa
ter station at Marshfeld, near Scots
burg. Night before last he was run
down by freight train and killed.

read men die violent deaths if they con-
tinue in the business? said conductor
