A novel fad has recently taken pos
session of the Yale juniors, and is caus-
ing much amusement about the college.
Every afternoon and evening the mem
bers OF the three upper classes gather
round t,.e.. ssspective portions Of the
new fence in front of Durfee and as
new man strolls up to join group Of
classmates he is suddenly bounced upon.
his vest is unbuttoned, and in spite of
his struggles the tab ON the bottom Of
his shirt bosom is cut off. This trophy
is then tackled up Ga an elm, where are
some fifty or more similar ones. The
custom is peculiarly Junior one, and
the members of the other classes lool, on
and cheer while the struggle is in pro-
gress. As many of the tabs so taken
have the owners initials embroidered
upon them they are easily recognized as
they hang upon the elm, and among
them can be seen the tabs once belonging

Salt on the Nuts.

Nuts are indigestible things at best;
but if we eat them. little salt taken
dry ON the tongue after will prevent
any i'll effects. Nothing we eat needs
more thorough mastication than nuts
before being fit forth human stomach.
If swallowed in too coarse condition
they are apt to make short stop in
some of the narrower passages of the
digestive organs with fatal results. =

The Democratic party IS much nearer
to the Alliance in its sympathleS and
tendencies. Both advocate tariff re-
form and low taxes. Both are against
monopolies and trusts. The thing
which will be likely to keep them apart
is the now famous ''Sub-Treasury
scheme" which would make pawn
shop Of the United States Treasury
This Alliance article Of faith" is some
thing the Democratic party never can
and VIII indorse. 1t is one of the wild
schemes which always arise to mar re-
form movements, and it seems to be
very dear to the Alliance heart. 1t re-
mains to he seen whether the Alliance
members in the Fifty-second Congress
will make the adoption OF this project
the price Of their support. Had they
held the balance of power, they would
doubtlessly have done SO, but as 1t is:
the Democracy, with its monster ma
jority, IS independent of them, were
they three times their present number.
Still the Alliance IS likely to figure for
some years to come il the politics Of
the country, and it is not unlikely that
its adherents may control the United
States Senate at not very distant day.
Under such circumstances it will un
questionably make itself felt in the
political arena, and for some time it
promises to be quantity not to be
despised or ignored.-New York Her

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
An Engine Passes Through Il Crowded
Car Without Fatal Results.

CINCINNATI, Nov. "A miraculous
escape from death by the occupants of
the Jacksonville. Fla, sleeping car on
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad hap
pened at Junction City at $3.50 O'Clock.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
crosses the Southern at this point, and
when train No. S Of the Southern road
had reached the station on schedule
time and stopped at the usual place,
Middlesboro. directly across the track Of
the Louisville and Nashville, on the
latter road a heavy freight was coming
from the West. Itshould have stopped
two hundred feet from the crossing
until the track was clear. but for some
reason the freight did not stop. 1t is
said that the breaks would not work.
At any rate the train came rushing on
and struck the sleeper IN the centre, the
engine ploughing through, breaking the
car to pieces and throwing the occupants
right and left on either side of the
track. The engine left the track and
crashed into the baggage room OF the
Louisville and Nashville depot. Fortu-
hately the wrecked car did not take fire
and no one was killed outright. The
injured are: Herbert F. Tousley, Bell

Mrs. S. w. Wheeler, Milwaukee,

this city on the delayed train and were
taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital.
A sad feature of Austin's misfortune is
that he had gone to Jacksonville, Fla,
to take home the body Of his mother,
who had recently died and her body was
in the baggage car al the time of the
accident. Austin was in great pain
during his journey to this city, and as
he moaned, he thought he was dying,

COUNTERFEIT MONEY!.
Look Well to Your Pocket Change--iou
May Get Some Of 1t.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 1.-THE start
ling announcement has reached this
city from the chief of the United States
secret service, that this city was
thought to be flooded with counterfeit
81 silver certificates, so perfect IN mark
that it was almost impossible for an
expert to detect the difference between
them and real one The letter was
received by Capt. Baurer, who is 1t the
head OF the department in this district.
Acting in accordance with the letter,
Capt. Bauer began at once to work on
the case, and in two hours he bad
found two of the bills, both Of which
had been accepted as legal currency.
One of the certificates had been recelv-
ed by an official at the poStotfice, while
the other was accepted by a prominent
merchant.
The imitation is so complete that
nothing short of the most careful scru-
tiny on the part OF an expert can de-
tect tn, difference. The discovery IS
very important, for since two OF the
bills were found SO soon after the
search was begun, it is probable that
the city is already flooded with the
worthless money. The very fact OF one
having passed through the hands of a
postohice official without detection, IS
sufficient evidence of the cleverness Of
the work, and Capt. Bauer pronounces
the counterfeit far superior to any
work that was ever done by Miles Ogle,
the king Of Counterfelters." He
warns every one to observe the great
est precaution in receiving and paying
out 50 silver certificates.
In the letter received by Capt. Bauer,
the following is said OF the counter
felt money "The bill has a small,
round, pink seal, and the signatures,
wv. S. Rosecrans, register OF the treas
urv, G. n. Jordan, treasurer. upon the
face. No closer imitation Of the genu-
inc bill has been distributed in this
country for years. 1t has no silk thread.
but they have been so pressed as TO pre-
sent the appearance of having one
when held to the light. In the word
register the Il is not dotted; neither
is there a period after treasurer. as
there is in the original. SO dangerous
is its character ,hat the utmost care
must he taken in receiving 81 silver
certificates"
The counterfeit bills have been float
ing in eastern cities for several weeks,
but not until recently was 1t known
that they were in circulation here.
Capt. Bauer is exerting every effort on
the case, and he has specially detailed
several of his men to work on it. 1t IS
probable that large number of bills
will be found here, and many persons
may find that they have sustained a
loss by receiving them.

DELIGHTED WITH THE RESUL
This is the H::r President Poi Feels
Over the Election.

KANSAS, Nov. S.-Col. L. L. Polk
president OF the Farmers National
Alliance, is enthused 1T the grand re.
suit, and, in speaking Of the matter
says:
1T is what might be termed IL politi-
cal volcano eruption, sit not: he said
with an expressive smile. "There are
two principal reasons, which | think
! will emboGy the primary root OF this
great reyulsion Of feeling The first is
the fact that the people of kansas are
awakening to TIE importance and ab.
solute necessity Of q pronounced posi-
tion on the part Of the people Of the
north against sectionalism. But it was
left to John J. Ingalls,, in 4 speech In
the senate characterized by political
malice and sectional party hate. to
touch the match to the magazine, the
explosion OF which has eliminated in
the election just held Several pTomi-
nent Republicans wrote me at the time
severely conGcmning Ingalls's course.
They had been his lifelong friends,
both in a personal and political sense,
but they would never countenance
politica! denagoguery as demonstrated
in that speech.
"a meeting was finally held in March,
at Topeka. at which resolution was
passed. repudiating any msn who would
support ingalls, in hi. course. The
resolution was heartily indors&d by
thousands, and led 10 the organization
of the late movement.
Sectional agitation has serve! the
purposes CT political demagogues in
the north in holding the Republican
party together. When they saw the
necessity of abandoning the nloody
shirt racket. the $1,000 majority stam-
peded and swept the state. speak
from personal knowledge OF the status
OF opinion in that section, having con-
versed with thousands this fall, and 1t
vas made clear to me that Il determined
effort vas going to be made to throw
sectionalism int oblivion. / trust
that the patriotic men Of the south will
meet these right-mindei people half
way. and cooperate heartily With them
in establishing those amlcable and
mutually beneficial relations which
cannot but make our glorious country
stronger than it has ever been before:
Tie second reason liesi the wotully
depressed financial condition o. the
farmers Of that state. They believe
that the chief cause of all this depres-
sion is the discriminating legislation
of tie past twenty-five years, ANA they
are going to work at the source of
trouble-the national legislature.

day 10000 sober, Industrious. hard
