MINNIE PALMER's PERIL.
She Declares That Her Husband Tried
to Murder Her.

to Murder Her.
Miss Minnie Palmer, tho actress, has left her
husband, John r Rogers, and a. soon as her
health permits she will begin proceedings for a
separation. Mr.. Rogers blames his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Joseph stearns, for the trouble. II
seems that he has been informed that her first
husband, Capt Palmer, is not dead, though
she has again married. On Saturday Mrs
Rogers told him that she was going to the
Aberdeen Hotel to visit her mother. Mr..
Rogers objected. According to his wife he
finally said: Minnie if you 20 there tonight,
much attention to this" says Minnie. las he
has several times threatened to kill me. Not
that ever thought he meant it, though"
when she returned that evening her husband
had his coat and waistcoat OF and was wait
ing for me. Beside him on the table was an
empty whisky decanter that had been full when
LETT. explained that we had been detained
at the horse show. l talked with him for a few
minutes and then retired. There was q light
that the glare was reflected from the glass into
my eyes. asked him to turn this down and
then tried to get to sleep. In a few moments
! heard him quietly stealing mp to the
bed He sat down beside me. and,
putting his right arm under my head, began
"As turned my head toward him I caught o
gleam OF long knife. My God, what are Won

for him. had, dropped the knife, and when /

locked il just in TIME"
Miss Palmer at once left the Gramercy and
went to her mother ut the Aberdeen Mr. Nc
Hale put Mr.. Rogers in bed and left him The
superintendent says that although Mr. Rogers
had evidently been drinking. he talked
clearly and seemed to know what he was
doing. Mr.. Rogers said that he had brought
the carving knife out to ask his wife 70 Kill
him II she persisted In associating with her
mother.
Mr.. Rogers appeared yesterday very much
amused over the charges his wife had preferred
against him, when he was informed of their
character At first he regarded the report that
she was seeking separation from him as in
credulous. but when assured that such was the
case he said:
Very we'll: I'll not oppose her. There is NOT
word OF truth In her statement that tried to
assault her. No one who knows me will believe
1t, and Minnie will not dare look in my eyes and
say such thing. Why, it's perfectly absurd. u
what are your plans for the future?" he
was asked.
well, If Minnie don't return to me by to-
morrow noon I'll close up our apartment and

12O Miles an Hour by Electricity.

1t is not out of place to cast a glance into
the future, in order to discern in what d.
rection electricians are working in the do
main of electric railways. One of their main
objective points is to attain higher speed
than is now reached with the fa stest express
train, and enough has already been demon
strated to show that this is by no means i'm
possible. There has been for some time in
operation at Laurel, Md, system of electric
railway, originally designed by David G..
Weems. When it was recently inspected by
the writer, with his watch in hand, he noted
a speed of the electric locomotive of nearly
one hundred and twenty miles an hour. The
electric car there employed is cigar shaped,
pointed at both ends. The electric motors
are constructed with a revolving armature
which is mounted directly on the axle, go
that no intermediate gearing whatever is en-
ployed. The curiously pointed ends of the
car, which might by some be considered fan
tastical, have their raison detre in the fact
that, at the high speed at which this car is
run, the resistance of the air is by far the
greatest retarding influence much greater, in
fact, than the resistance due to the axle and
rolling friction, which at lower speeds is pre-
dominant.

Mending his Nets.

| Many centuries ago an old man and his SONS
sat mending their fishing nets in boat upon
little island sea in Asia. Their boat was
anchored near the shore; other boats were
near them, their crews hauling in fish. TIE
old man, it is likely. was in hast to mend the
nets, and 60 on with the days work.
A man came down the beach. He called
to them, and babe them lay down their nets,
give up their fishing, and follow Him. When
they heard Him, something told them in their
hearts that this call meant that they should
forsake the life to which they had always
been used-fishing, eating, sleeping, sur
rounded by neighbors and friends, and that
they should begin different work for the
people who were strangers to them.
Here were their nets, their own boats, the
blue waters filled with fish, the peaceful hills
| along the coast, the calm little valleys be-
tween here were home, comfort and security.
Yonder was the Man on the shore, calling
TO them to follow HINT might be to hun.
ger, to pain, possibly to death.
But each man heard God speaking to his
soul in that voice.
The fishermen's sons arose and followed
Him who had called But their fathers sat
still and mended their nets.
These two young men, during the rest of
their lives, wandered homeless, they suffer-
ed persecution, privation and pain, and one
at last persisted as martyr to his faith. But
they helped to bring Truth into the world !;
they have lifted millions of souls out of bar
barism up to light and freedom and love-
OF their father we do not even known
that he mended his fishing-nets securely.
Possibly to the reader of this article has
come, or some day will come, the same voice,
saying Follow Me-"
You will know that it means, Do not any
longer give up you life to the work of fishing
or trading or earning money in any way
merely to buy necessaries and Injuries Fol-
low Me. Help your fellow men to come
nearer to God. DO it in your business in
your daily life. Bring truth and order and
love into the world. Be ready to sacrifice
yourself 1t may cost you comfort, it may
cost you friends, possibly life itseE Do it.

Reverdy johnson and Lord Br0ugham,

Reverdy johnson was one of the few men
that ever made Lord Brougham listen with
any degree of genuine interest. His lord
ships companions have complained that
whenever he was not talking he was think
ing of something to talk about.
1t was at dinner given by the great Mary
lander in London that he caught the elusive
attention of the self-absorbed earl They had
got down to canvass back ducks, brought
from the far away home of the host, and the
joy of the guests were exquisite.
Brougham vowed that not another dish in
the world should ever be thought of in the
same moment with canvass back ducks from
Chesapeake Bay. He ventured to say to
Johnsan that he doubted not that they were
now enjoying the fairest products of the
States.
ooh, now answered the proud American.
eve have something far superior to that
which have spread before you tonight"
His lordship was astonished, and inquired,
what might that be?"
chesapeake terrapin," answered Mr.. John
son.
He saw then that he had stirred the curl
osily Of his company, and so he proceeded to
crafty it under the rare inspiration of Lord
Brougham's attentiveness In graphic speech
be went down into the mud for the hiberna-
ting quadruped, washed its shell and then
boiled it.
He pictured with blood-curdling vividness
the way the tarrapin would respond to the
constantly increasing temperature of the
water by stretching forth its long, ugly head,
and searching, seemingly, for some means of
escape. Next the listening guests saw the
shell float off, and the scaidlng process begin
in deadly earnest.
Then the cook in the lively picture deity
removed the claws and the gall, which dis
posed of half the bulk in the pot The pre-
cous remainder next entered upon the stew
ing process in another vessel. At last the
terrapin, reduced to sweet strings and juicy
particles, was turned into great chafing-dis
and carried to the dining room, where the
waiting company saw it placed before the
hostess, in an old-time lace cap and wonder
fully embroidered apron.
The little lamp beneath the dish was then
lighted. In few moments the guardian
angel began the seasonings with sprinkle
of this, and dash of that and a generous
pour of some venerable Madeira.
About this time the English lips smacked,
and Lord Brougham, who had listened eager
ly, exclaimed "That is eloquence"
