certain feeling among some, who were
not used to the costume, as they rolled
up to stone front houses in luxurious
coaches-a nervousness at the scantiness
of their coat tails, their vast white shirt
fronts, their ministerial ties. But the
scheme panned out well in results, and
the ingenious editor, who had pressed
into the service t1any novice in social
customs, spread page after page of very
choice news before his readers.
There is nothing that a newspaper
man can stop at in order to get informa~
tion. When Com modore Vanderbilt lay
on his death bed the city dailies kept re
lays of reporters III a room convenient to
the house, and every moment of the day
and night for many days each paper had
its eye on the events passing within the
stricken home. 1t is needless to say that
the intere5t Of the general public was
just as great as that Of the newspaper
men, and the first greeting of the morn
ing and one repeated all day was, what
is the news about Vanderbilt
This was merely waiting for the ex-
peoted, and was a case of sheer patience.
1t is the man or woman who refuses to
be interviewed, and places all manner of
guards against the newspaper man, that
gives the trouble. The noted burglar
and murderer, Edward Rulofr, after the
discovery Of his identity, which proved
him an old and hardened villain, sui
lenly refused to talk to anybody except
the sheriff. Ruloff was in jail at Bing-
hamton, under trial for numbering a
clerk who had attempted to defend his
employers premises from burglary. He
had New York history, and was anx-
ious to keep it hidden, 30 he told the
sheriff that he would refuse to see all
newspaper men. The first real interview
was obtained by native of the town,
who was a New York newspaper man,
and whom the sheriff introduced under
the pretense of investigating Ruloff's
pathological system. The burglar-mur-
derer was modern Eugene Aram, and
had hobby in philology. The key of
all languages, according to his system,
was l., NJ and Il. The moment these
were mentioned he would talk and un-
ravel his scheme, and incidentally, in
recalling the wonderful triumphs, as he
called them, of discovery and collation.,
he told enough about himself, at least
about his past, to furnish all the clews
needed for his complete identity, and
also disclosed his habits and personal
characteristics-points on which he was
reserved TO the Doint of holiness

What FIoored Him.

A good theme for an article is thrift
and its great value in the practical world.
cannot find better text that this wise
utterance of the facetious Mr.. Wilkins
Micawber to his young friend David
Copperfield: my other piece of advice,
Copperfield," said Mr.. Micawber, "you
know. Annual income twenty pounds,
annual expenditure nineteen, nineteen
six; result, happiness. Annual income
twenty pounds, annual expenditure
twenty pounds, ought and six pence;
result, misery. The blossom is blighted,
the leaf withered, the god of day goes
down upon the dreary scene and-and,
in short, you are forever hoored, as
am" Mr.. Micawber had felt the power
of money and the extreme foolishness
of lavishly throwing away time and op-
portunities and he posed as counselor
before young Copperfield. Detroit Free

But she has malice toward her kind
A cruel tongue and jealous mind.
Void Of pity, and fun OF greed,
She judges the world by her narrow creed.
brewer Of quarrels, a breeder of hate,
Yet she holds the key to 'society's" gate
The other woman, with heart OF fame,
Went mad for a love that marred her name
And out Of the grave of her murdered faith
She rose like a soul that has passed thro' death
Her aim is noble, her pity so broad
1t covers the world like the mercy of God
A healer of discord, soother of woes,
Peace follows her footsteps wherever she goes
The worthier life of the two, no doubt;
And society" locks her out.

Flavoring Eggs.

1t is not generally known that eggs
can be easily favored to suit the taste.
Theyat once absorb any fragrance or
odor with which they are placed in con-
tact, and by storing the eggs in basket
lined with roses or violets they will short
ly be found to have acquired the flavor
Of the flowers; and by packing them in
barrels of straw they soon acquire the
favor of the straw, as is well known

FORTY MILES IN OPERATION.
Statistics of Street Railways in Cities of
Over $4,000 People-seattie Mile
age Doubling.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on
the subject of rapid transit in cities, giving
some interesting facts as TO the mileage in all
cities of over $1,000 people. Seattle is not n
eiHded among the number, as that has not the
population named according TO the census, but
the statistics for this city have been procured
by the PosT-lNTELLIGENcER.a and are added to
the table.
In explanation of the tables given the bulle-
tin states that length of line" means length of
rosdbed, or of street occupied, and ''length of
double track means that portion of the road
laid with two tracks. The statistics were, in
some cases, collected from outside sources,
where the companies failed to report. Where
cities situated close together have common
street railway system they are treated as one
city. This is the case wi h Pittsburg and Ale
gheny Newark aud Elizabeth, also with Boston,
Lynn and Cambridge.

length OF street railways in ffty-six prinaipal

victory. His savage threat to knock Judge

was fulfilled with completeness that is as

THE Conclusion.

The result is that Ronald can muster eight
men in the Second ward and five in the Third as
being certainly MS He may pick up thirteen
more in the other wards, giving him twenty-six
out oil the seventy-Six delegates In the face of
this shabby support he can make no great con-
test IN the convention unless there be an uuex-
peeted desertion among the Collins men. But
the defeat is not Tor Ronald, who has merely
been the dummy for Judge Rochester. The
latter is routed horse loot and dragoon.

Characteristic Lot-Jumping Scene at Okla
homa City, Ok.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, May 1O.-Con-
siderable excitement was occasioned
here over an attempt at lot jumping.
In the morning about ten o'clock a
wagon loaded with lumber was stopped
in front of a vacant lot on Robinson
street, between Grand avenue and Main
street, and simultaneously trio of col
ored individuals appeared, armed with
carpenters tools, quietly un1oaded the
wagon and began to construct the
foundation of small house. AS if by
magic dozen men appeared upon the
scene and without word began tearing
up the foundation and carrying the
boards and scantlings to pond near by,
where they were dumped.
Within two minutes the dozen men
were joined by others, who had been in
formed of the attempt at jump ng, until
the streets were filed with excited
men, vieing with each other to secure a
board that they might help in the de-
struction of the proposed edifice. The
lot in question is held under a city GER
tificate by S. c. Woodruff. The would
be jumper was J. d. Willy, colored,
formerly a Topeka, Kan, barber.
Willy and his two aids disappeared and
the crowd dispersed as quietly as they
came, but with the understanding that
watch would be kept on Willy, this
being his second attempt at lot jump

They tell good story of man who has
q fondness for fast horses. A year or two
ago he had one that was said to be "fyer,"
and marvellous stories were told of what she
had done, and was capable of doing. But
an intimate friend noticed that the owner
of the wonderful horse never staked any
money on her.
"Why don't you back her for good,
round sum, if she can do what you claim
she can 2" he asked. ''That would prove
that you had confidence in her, but as it
it is-n
"See here, my FRIEND" said the other,
with a twinkle in his eye, "don't you know
me well enough to know that I'm too modest
to bet on my own nag, especially when feel
sure that she can't come out ahead 2"
When a man knows he can accomplish
what he undertakes, he doesn't feel too mod
est to say so. When DR.. Pierce put his
"Favorite Prescription" before the public
as certain remedy for female weakness, ~
with satisfaction guaranteed or money re,
funded on every bottle of it, it proved
that he had entire confidence in the prep
aration. He felt sure of its merits, and
