Christ'S Coat.

From the Sc. Louis Republic.
Those who have been trying to
keep up with the times by reading
the press dispatches concerning the
holy coat recently put on exhibi.
ton at Treves, the old town in
Rhenish Prussia, have failed, oi
course, in finding the information
that would naturally be most in.
teresting, viz: How and where
the sacred garment has been KEEP,
during the past nineteen centuries,
The purpose of this note is TO en-
tighten the Republics readers or
this important point.
The coat is said to have beer
spun by the Virgin Mary hersel
from the wool of lamb and woveI
into gray coat by st. Helena or
the Mount of Olives. 1t came in
to the hands of a Jew soon aftel
the crucifixion, who threw it intt
the sea because the blood-stains
would not wash out. A whale
swallowed it. The whale wal
caught by fisherman and the gray
coat found in its belly. It was mex
sold to Orendel, son of EygeI, /,
Christian King of Treves, for 81
pieces of silver. Orendel deposited
it in a stone coffin. Being discov
cred it became a sacred relic ant
has since been kept at the Cathe
dral of Treves.

three subjects-preferences 70,

Regarding the type-founders
trust, Mr.. White thought 'if tn.
English syndicate succeeds in buy:
ing up all the type foundries
which is not probable, country edi
tors will have to charge more fol
advertising to meet the increased
expense of publishing their pa
pers."
In speaking of setting type BY

Hall. subscriptions" was the
subject. Bob White Of the Mexico
LEDGER read paper telling the
editors how he got people to sub.
scribe to his paper and pay their
bills. Editor White is one of the
best known and richest editors in
the Association, and everybody
listened with attention as he told
how he made his money. He be-
lieved in getting subscriptions
everywhere, and in every self-re-
specting way. The subscription
business should be pushed. The
editor should make himself per-
sonally known to his readers.
"You go to one of my subscrib-
ers and ask him what paper he
takes" said Mr.. White, "and he
will not say, Il take the Mexico
LEDGER but Il take Bob Whites
paper That's the reason why I
keep it plain Bob," added Mr..
White, shut I don't consult my
wife about it," with a backward
glance toward the ladies of the
party.
Editor M. A. Tanning said the
paper must be very personal, not
Extensively so, but pleasantly.
Every subscriber should see his
name in the paper now and then.
He don't believe in canvassers.
"A good way to canvass" broke
in Editor White, ''is to 60 out in
the country and preach sermons,
and then ask the people to SUBJ
scribe to your paper"

THE st. Louis Chronicle says
the trotting races at st. Louis are
not as well patronized as they de-
serve to be. The reason they are
not better patronized is, they are
held at the wrong season. If st.
Louis wants large crowds at her
trotting meeting, let 1t be held
during fair week, in the afternoons
and an extra charge made on &C.
count of the races. Mexico has
her races each afternoon during
the fair and everybody knows how
they are attended. When it comes
to trotting meetings, st. Louis il

A $4,000 Fire.
TWO FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE
ON THE WABASH AND FOUR
CARS OF OIL ARE
IGNfTED.
Engineer John Cass and Fireman ME.
on Fea Save Their Lives BY Jump
ing From Their
Locomotive.

A collision of two freight trains
on the Wabash Railroad, near Pol
locks mill, Friday evening at 7:S0
o'clock, resulted in . t15, 600 FIRE,
and was a narrow escape for
Engineer Oass and Fireman Fea
on locomotive No. 306. The wreck
occurred in this way: A regular
freight train was bound West, the
rear cars loaded with lubricating
and other oils, telegraph poles, etc.,
and was followed BY an extra train,
engine No 3O6. Just before the front
tram reached the depot il broke
in two and the rear portion ran
down the grade, and train No. 306
bulged right into caboose No. Is,
the engineer and fireman scarcely
having time to jump, much les
stop their train. The cars loaded
with oil were ignited immedistsly
and the destructive flames began
its consumption.
The fire alarm was sounded and
the fire company was not long in
getting to the wreck, but had the
advantage of only the use Of one
hydrant to fight the flames with.
The fire was 30 hot, caused by the
thousands Of gallons OF oil, that
no one could get anywhere near il
and four cars were consumed, all
that had not been drawn out Of
reach. Engine No. 306 was dam
aged to the amount of . e1, 600,
probably, when it jammed in the
caboose and played havoc with Il.
The main track of the Wabash
was burned and drawn out of shape
for some distance, and after the Ere
company had the flames out,
which was nearly 10 o'clock, about
one hundred wrecking hands were
there ready to commence clearing
the way and building . new track.
Trains were blockaded on either
side of the wreck and it was one
o'clock before the first train was
able to pass.
It looked as If every citizen Of
Mexico was present to see the fire,
and the angry flames shooting
hundreds OF feet in the air, with an
explosion at intervals, presented .
fine spectacle to the eye.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A PRETTY WEDDING.
A Prominent Indianan Marries an Au.

eeption to tho Couple.

At noon Thursday at Fern Glen,
the beautiful country home of Mr..
John G. Wiliey, IL miles north OF
Mexico, Mr.. CAment A. Greenleaf,
a prominent yohng business man OF
Indianapolis, Ind, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Wilaey's daughter,
Miss Elizabeth Berthe. The we'd

present about $50 or 200 guests to
bid the happy couple god-speed on
their journey through life. A sump-
tuous feast was spread-just such
an one as Mrs. Whitley knows so we'll
how to prepare. The ceremony was
pronounced by Rev. A. A. Wallace,
of this city. The LEDGER congratu-
lates the lucky groom on securing
for life partner such an amiable
lady as Miss Lizzie, but at the same
time deplores the fact that this
worthy young couple cannot remain
in our midst.
Mr.. Wilfey's son, VIM. F., a wor-
thy young gentleman, was married
Sept. 9th at Indianapolis, to Miss
Espey, charming young lady Of
that city. Mr.. Whitley and bride ar
rived here on an early train next
morning and were rendered a recep-
ton after the marriage of Mr.. Green
leaf and Miss Whitley. Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. F. Whitley will reside in their
beautiful cottage, about half mile
south of the groom's father. The
LEDGER extends congratulations and
best wishes to both young couple,
and hopes happiness and prosperity
may always attend them.
Mr.. Greenleaf and bride left that
afternoon for their home in Indian
apolis. A number of guests were
present from Indiana and St. Louis.
Mrs. Jno. G. Whitley will please
accept the thanks OF the LEDGER for
a large box of delicacies prepared by
her own hands.

PREPARING FOR THE PAGEANT.
The Priests Of Pallas and the Kan.
sas City Autumnal Festival,
October 9TH.

Special Correspondence to the Ledger.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 10.-
The arrangements for the annual
Priests OF Pallas pageant. which
will take place this year October Z,
are fast nearing completion. The
parade this year will be one of the
grandest in the history of the as.
sociation. Many thousands OF dol.
lars are being spent on the floats,
which are of unexampled grandeur.
The posters announcing the parade
have been prepared and are of su-
perior lithographic workmanship.
They represent the Goddess in her
sea chariot drawn by three fiery
horses. Dolphins and monster
sea serpents play about the eqaip-
age ss it dashes through the waves.
A half dozen white gulls are in the
air above the sea. Sea nymphs
play about the chariot in the
water.
The programmes, too, have left
the lithographer. They are alto
gether beautiful. The design is
the semblance of the purse.shaped
fish nets. Pallas does not bring
them across the ocean with her
this year. They are being made
right here in America and they
will outdo any of the former Paris
ian productions. The net-like
programmes are to be double, and
opening disclose the list of dances
and the names of committeeman.
They close with a rosy shell which
serves as lid and outwardly are
nets in which richly coIored crea-
lures of the sea struggle. There are
fish OF divers shape and hue,
spiny backed, google eyed and
grotesque, strange wriggling sea
monsters, varicolored wisps of
floating sea weeds and iridescent
mollusks.
The work is unsurpassable in
coloring; the watery green of the
sea, the brown ropes of the in
closing ret, the purple and gold
crimson of the swimming fish are
most artistically blended.
A silver hook and cham hold
closed each programme and each is
fitted with the regulation satin
wound pencil. Many Missouri
and Kansas people will be favored
with these souvenirs with the in.
vitations that are soon to be is
sued.
Every arrangement is being made
this year for the entertainment of
guests at the fall festivities. Hotels
are extending their accommoda-
tions and ample room WILDE made
on thoroughfares for people who
wish to witness the grand pageant.
Extra street Car accommodations
are also being provided for guests
of the city. Special rates are be.
ing made on all railroads and the
hotels promise to reduce their
prices for the occasion.
