Gave Her Life to Save Her Dog.
FFron, tho St Tou;s Ranphfic

On Thursday, week ago, as the lightning
express passed through the suburban town
of Oak Park, near Chicago, Mollie O'Brien,
young girl in the employ of Mrs. R. d.
Salter, attempted to cross the track. She
was accompanied by Scotch collie, who
was a great pet in the family. The young
girl reached the opposite side in safety and
turned to see where the dog had gone. See-
ing that the dog was in imminent danger of
being run over she started to save him. The
crowd ON the opposite platform screamed for
her to 60 back, but she needed not her own
danger, and as she reached the steps slipped
and fell just as the great iron monster
rushed past. The train did not crush her,
but the driver on tho wheels of the engine
broke her neck instantly.
People rushed to her assistance, but it was
too late. Placing her on the platform, kind
hands and curiosity seekers crowded around
her, but the great noble dog she had tried to
save kept all away from her. Placing him
self by her side, he licked her poor bruised
hands and in every way tried to awaken her.
No one dared touch her, and not until an
old friend of the family came would he leave
her for a moment. Miss O'Brien was twen-
ty-three years old, was born and raised in
st. Louis,

A NOTABLE ADDRESS.
The colored national convention at Wash-
ington did its work in an orderly and aensi-
BILE way. The address issued by it is we'll
worth attention. The convention asked for
the granting Of additional powers to the
federal courts; for the passage of bill
granting national aid to education; for the
amendment of the interstate commerce act
go as to prevent color discrimination on rail-
roads; for the federal control of federal cleo
tions; and for the reimbursement Of deposits
ors who suffered by the failure Of the Freed
mems bank. In the address is the follow
ing: 80
Under the constitution and laws of the
land We are entitled to the rights and priv
ilsges enjoyed by any other class of citizens,
are subjected to taxation without Representa-
= We are compelled. TO- obey laws that we
have no voice In making. We are obliged
in many localities to submit to verdicts of
juries and decisions Of courts In the creation
and composition of which We are not allowed
to participate. We therefore believe that II
is our duty, as it certainly is our privilege,
to inform the country through the medium
of national convention Of any grievances,
having full faith in the fairness and justice
of the American people.
If it ID true that all our friends are In one
party and our enemies In another, which we
do not assert, that is misfortune for which
We are not responsible, and the existence of
which we sincerely regret.
This is reasonable complaint, made in
dignified and reasonable way. It would not
have been done better in many white con-
ventions.

A Story OF SsoneWall Jackson.
From the Atlanta Constitutional


An old soldier at the capitol yesterday told
this story of Stonswall jackson:
It was during his valley campaign, and q
battle was expected within a day or two,
though Jackson's plans were 80 carefully
guarded that not even his adjutant could
guess them intslligently. This self-reliance
was characteristic of jackson, and his aversion
to telling his plans was well known among
his officers and men. In fact 1t was his poll
oy to surprise his own men no less than to
surprise the enemy.
Gen. jackson was one of group of officers,
and another of the group was Georgia colo
mel who is still living. Conversation Was
dragging. jackson was thoughtful and had
little to say, and the effect was dsmpening.
Finally, just to revive the conversation, the
Georgia colonel asked abruptly:
"Gensral, will we have fight tomorrow
Everybody knew In an instant that the
blunder was irrsparable, and nobody realized
this more than the colonel.
Jackson turned quickly and stared full In
the speakers face. Then he slowly surveyed
the colonel from head to foot, and back again.
The silence was painful.
Colonel" said the general slowly, but not
in an unkind tone, escan you keep q secreta'
eyes, general" was the warm, If embar-
Yes, cir"
"Are you quite certain. colonela'
81 am quite certain, general"
"Well, colonel" in the same quite. even
tone, 80 can !, SIR"
The colonel's face flushed crimson, and
there was deathly silence for half minute
or more.
"Now. colonel" said Jackson, with some
feeling, s'that rudeness of mine hurt me al
much az it did you, but I trust that it ha
taught you valuable lesson. If we do hav'
fight tomorrow, colonel, your regiment shall
have a chance"

RDITOKlAL NOTES.

Several bills looking to the suppression of
fore congress, but there is little probability
that congress will be able to do anything in
the way of effsctual suppression. It's au-
thority in that direction is very limited. It
is the states that must undertake the work
of suppression, each within Its own limits.
The proposition to give each member of
congress a clerk Is being discussed. It is
simply in effect to give the poor men or the
the same advantages that the wealthy men,
bers have. The latter hire clerks and pay
for them out of their own pockets. The
former cannot afford to do this. Both need
clerks equally.
The expenditures of Paris actresses for
their dresses have reached such an extrava-
CANT figure that at least one we'll known ac-
tress has refused to continue her engagement
because she could not afford to buy the
dresses needed for new play that was about
to be produced. Her salary was $4,000 per
year, and her dresses alone had cost her
5000 during the last year, although there
had been but three plays.
It now appears that the pardon of Saw
tell, the Massachusetts murderer, was
worked up" the sympathy elected and the
signatures obtained by paid agent. It is
easy to get signatures to petition for or
against almost anything. A respectable
Texas man drew up petition asking that he
be hanged, and it was signed by many who
did not notice what they were signing.
The performers in an A1giers theater, which
closed it's doors while the influenza ragged,
sued their manager because he deducted the
time thus lost from their salaries, claiming
that they were willing to play right on. The
manager claimed that the influenza was an
act Of providence and that, however able the
actors may have been % play, the public was
incapacitated from attending and tho closing
Of the theater was thus necessary through nc
fault Of his. The court sustained this view
Of the matter.

[From the Pittsburg Dispatch.1
While out hunting, Colonel Standifer and
Billy Muller, of Dennison, Texas, came
across large dead tree, the stump of which
was full to overfowing, so to speak, with
mice. The colonel and his companion pulled
off strips of the decayed outer growth of the
tree, and every time strip was pulled off
myriads of mice ran for their lives. Colonel
Standifer killed three hundred and eighty-six
of the mice and Muller four hundred and
eighteen. The next day the tree was visited
with two black. and-tan terriers. the bark
was removed and the number of mice killed
is estimated at over thousand.
