A Woman with Five Pockets.

A young man came up town to his
home and dinner the other afternoon in
n Broadway car. and just about Tenth
street, where the big shops begin, the
overloaded team halted TO take in one
more passenger She was tall, slim,
pretty girl. dressed in brown gown, and
the Young man noticed her Mt once
first. because her face was exceedingly
charming. and second, because she
carried nothing in her hands. Not even
the tiniest purse or the --LATEST card case,
he swcars
On careful cross examination he could
not tell how her gown was made or what
shape ~ hat she wore. But this much he
does know, that after she got on she
actually did push her way well up in the
car. In exact obedience to the conduct
or's humble suggestion, and she also lift
Ell up one Of the empty hands, gloved in
q heavy three buttoned, stitched red dog
skin. and held 50 firmly to the strap that
she did not lose her footing when the car
turned curve
Yet more remarkable, when the long
suffering conductor came collecting, she
calmly thrust her free hand into the folds
of her frock and into an invisible pocket,
set just about where such convenient re-
ceptacles are put in mans trousers.
This was on the front Of the right hand
hip. Apparently not feeling the right
change there. she brought down the other
hand and while the young man gained
with amazement. she ran it into another
deep invisible pocket on the left hip. He
swears he recognized the rattle of keys
and knife, and when the hand reap
peared II was full Of small change. The
conductor satisfied, she resumed her
strap and looked calmly over the young
mans head till another woman got in
who recognized the young lady, and much
chattering followed till the second wom-
an wanted TO know the time.
Then he almost lost his balance watch

The estate of the late Mrs. Wilson C..
Swami, Of 1879 Walnut street, will
amount. it is said, to s, DOC, 600, and for
this vast wealth there appear to be no
heirs. The magnificent property at 1919
Walnut street, with its inestimable
wealth of paintings, sculpture, carvings
and curios, will be sold at an early date.
The house was planned by DR.. Swami and
built in 1857. In past years it was the
scene Of many princely entertainments,
and although Mrs. Swami was afflicted
with form of nervous prostration which
confined her to her apartments and pre-
vented her attendance to social duties, it
was her wish that these entertainments
should be continued. Probably no es-

Manuscript of Home. sweet home"
Tn" death of Mrs. Asa jackson in Ati-
ems, Ga, has brought up once again the
much talked Of mystery of the where
ahouts of the original of John Howard
Payne'a Home, Sweet Home
Mrs. jackson was a near relative of
Miss Mary Hardin, who WAS much al
mir.'d by John Howard Payne. For Il
long time Miss Hardin had the only
known copy Of the famous song in the
handwriting Of its author. When she
WAS dying several years ago III Athens it
WIS rImore1 that in one Of her eccentric
moods she had willed the copy to be
buried with her, but when asked on her
deathbed if this were true she told Mrs.
jackson that she had not done SO, but
had left the manuscript, as well as all
her other earthly goods, as a bequest to
/ her.
After Miss Hariin's death the manu-
script was searched for by Mrs. jackson,
but was not found. Only few days ago
reporter called on Mrs jackson and
asked if nothing had ever come of the
search.
Nothing yet was the reply. "but
hope to find it before l die. Mary kept
the copy concealed all the time while
she lived. John Howard Payne sent it
10 her when he was consul to Algiers,
and between the lines We're written lit
/ tie love messages. They were sweet
hearts once. these two. Mary was offered
( tempting sums for the manuscript in her
lifetime by publishers, but would never
part with it.
Several lawyers have lately been to
me to get my permission for them to
ferret out the whereabouts of the manu-
script. but | have refused to let them
take the case. feel certain that it will
come to light before die"
1t is generally believed that the manu-
script will some time be found Some
think that the copy, which was known to
be the only one extant written by Payne
himself, was stolen from the house by a
servant.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

1t is perhaps not generally known that
Montreal has the cheapest telephone
service on the continent today. But SC
it is, and the increase in the number OF
persons now having telephones in Their
residences and Offices has been exceed
ingly large since the rates were lowered
to twenty-five dollars in both residence.

pany. The Federal Telephone company
has at present almost $500 city sub
scribers, their prices being thirty-fvt
dollars for offices and twenty-five dollar,
for private residences, while the Bell, in
the city alone, have about 5000. The
latter company are increasing their sub
scribers at about the average rate of ovel
hundred month, while the Fedora
company's list Of patrons is also steadily
on the increase. Think of it, twenty

with credit to himself and to the bank for
many years. Lately Mr.. Laird went to Niagara

Laird has been with the past of George

Tor forty years acted as cashier for the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank and dcyoting
his whole time and attention to the institu-
ton, its growth is materially owing TO his

INDIANAPOLIS. August 25.-Further discios-
ures are made as to the diminution of the sup
ply Of natural gas in the Indiana field. The
present supply for the city of indianapolis is
obtained from an almost completely new set of
wells, and il is necessary to continually open
new ones. Experience has proved, according
to the published figures. that the average life
Of a well where drawn upon constantly is about
three years. and of some the time is shorter.
In the beginning the supply was obtained a.
point in the field twenty miles distant from
indianapolis. Now it is necessary to bring the
gas assistance OF nearly forty miles, and the wells
are now within few miles Of the heart of the
field.
The purpose in disclosing these facts is to en-
force economy in the use of the fuel and to Sc
cure the inauguration Of the meter system in
stead Of permitting consumers to burn all the
gas they want for fixed yearly charge. There
Is great waste in the manufactures.
