Through the Tunnel.

A railway mail clerk, who has car to
himself, left it for moment to run for
ward and speak to the engineer as the
train stopped for water at station in
the Allegheny noun tains, just west of
the great tunnel. When the boiler was
filled and the train started he sprang for
his car.
The entrance to the car was on the
side, and solitary handle offered itself
to the grasp Of the passenger AS the
clerk seized this hurriedly and pulled
himself up he discovered to his horror
that the door had Jared shut, and could
not be opened from the outside.
At that moment the train shot into the
tunnel. The man shrieked for help, but
the noise of the train drowned his cries.
and with both hands grasping the ham
die, his feet on the iron step and his
body glued to the side of the car lest he
should be dashed against the Jagged
wall, he was carried into the darkness.
AS the tunnel is mile long and the
atmosphere almost sitting, the hapless
mans predicament can be better imag-
ined than described. When the train
came cut into daylight again the en-
gineer looked back, as usual, to see if
the train was following, and discovered
the mail clerk in his perilous position.
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible, and the engineer and conductor
fastened to the mans rescue. He was
all but demented, and on being assisted
to the ground fell unconscious.
For six months afterward he was un-
der physicians care, and when he had
recovered from the shock he said:
"The tunnel seemed at least ten miles
long, and my head, thought, was hol-
low, with the smoke rushing in at my
mouth and nostrils and pouring out
again through my ears. Whenever l
think of it my brain reels and l feel my
self crouching, just as Icrouched against
the outside of that car, while being drag
ged through that horrible darkness -

A Good Fee.

Ministers in New England villages are
not usually the recipients Of liberal sala-
ries, and the number Of marriages in a
year is seldom large enough to make the
fees much Of an addition to the slender
sum. The fees themselves are apt to be
slight, and sometimes are omitted alto
gether, although the clergyman is usual
ly presented with some little ''remem-
brance" of the happy occasion.
One clergyman has good many, anus
ing stories to tell of his wedding ex-
periences," but he once received we'd
ding fee which has never been duph-
Gated, and which, he says, lasted ten
times as long as any other which was
ever given him.
He performed the ceremony which
united the daughter of the Widow Rob
bins, the thriftiest housewife of his par
ish, to poor but estimable young man,
whom the widow had selected for her
son-in-law, and with whom her daughter
had dutifully fallen in love.
The wedding was merry one, and as
the officiating clergyman" was putting
on his coat in the hall, ready to start for
home, the Widow Robbins bustled out
to him and said: II sent Harry over
with your fee about half an hour ago
Mr.. Lathrop. told him people wouldn't
miss the groom for few minutes, and
sure enough they didn't. He said he
gave it to your wife, and hope you'll
like it; you always have!"
Mr.. Lathrop murmured his thanks
and hurried home to be greeted by his
wife, whom a severe cold had kept in
the house, in voice shaking with sup
pressed laughter.
Where is my fee?" demanded the
clergyman. II hear it has been put in
your keeping"
''It's on the dining room table," fal-
tered his wife.
He strobe out to the dining room, and
there on the table were ranged four
rows of glass jars, three in each row;
they were well filed, and labeled re-
spectively, 'currant jelly" "chili sauce, ="
"sweet pickles" and last but not least,
raspberry JAM
Eve had good laugh, of course
says Mr.. Lathrop, ''but we also had
some of that fee the very next day, and
we never enjoyed one better. Youth s

Blaine DiscredIts the Hasty Action At

WASHINGTON, April 13.--Secretary
Blaine was shown the Rome and London
cable dispatches by a representative Of
the United Press reporting revulsion
of feeling Ia Ilaly in favor of aggressive
measures toward the United States and
determination on the part of the
Italian government to order Minister
Porter to leave Italy and to recall the
remnant of the Italian legation now at
Washington. The secretary read the
dispatches carefully and simply re-
marked:
Not word relating to all these re-
ports has reached the department. No
credit is given to the rumors. They
seem to be sensational
Beyond this Secretary Blaine would
have nothing to say about the Italian
imbroplio.
Marquis 1mperiali, the italian charge
d'affairs, could not be found either at
legation headquarters or at home.

Farmerss Alliance Propose to Gridiron
the State with Lines.
KAKSaA- ISS194 April 13..-Since the
Farmers Alliance has taken hold of
affairs IN Kansas many surprising things
have been done but the mcst unique
and daring plan which has been evolved
by that body is a reported scheme to
build a.trunk railroad line across the
state.
1t il ssil that this proposition will be
made gtiie issue OF the next political fight
In kaaaaAs by the Alliance. The plan is
for the state government to construct a
trunk inc about 250 or 800 miles in
length. md for the counties to build a
network Of branches that will touch
every p4nt in the state. 1t is said that
the rIglt OF way privileges would be
-donatest8in every instance.
Frank McGrath, president of the Kan
sas Alliance, was in the city. and when
asked ahout the plan he was very reti-
cent, but admitted that such scheme
was under consideration by the Alliance.

w hsHINGToS, April Ts. IT. There is
some doubt as to the time when the
Sisseton and Wahpeton lands ceded by
the late agreement will be opened for
settlement.
The lands cannot be opened until all
the allotments are made and adjusted
Under the law as passed it is necessary
to make new allotments to all the In.
dians to whom allotments were pre-
viously made who We're not given 100
acres of land. This work is in charge
of Special Agent Morris and will begin
as soon as his bond is received and ap-
proved.
A list of all the Indians on the reser-
vation and parties to the agreement un-
der which the department is acting has
been prepared for Special Agent Elrods,
SO that Immediately his bond is ap-
proved he can disburse the money ap-
propriated fer these Indians, amounting
to over So, 5000
1t is expected that several months will
elapse before the lands can be opened
for settlement, as the Indian bureau
may hold that it is necessary to have all
the patents issued to the Indians before
white settlers can go upon the lands.

The Ex-Premier Complicating Matters

The Ex-Premier Complicating Matters
fer Rudini.
LONDON, April 13 A Rome dispatch
says that everybody is on the qui vive
for the next act in the Italian American
drama. Crispi has openly stated that
the Rudini caoinet dare not make a
serious demand for redress upon the
United States and that the Italian peo-
pie have been held mp to ridicula by the
vacillation of the ministry. The carica-
ture whicll is said to have given per-
sonal offense to King Humbert is one in
which a monkey figures with crown
on its head, and features bearing re-
semblance to those of the king. The
clerical, or Vatican faction. are alleged
to have circulated widely wood cuts of
these carricatures, as showing Ameri-
can hatred and contempt for the "qnir-
inai. Altogether, whatever the out
come of the difficulty, the feeling toward
America in high Italian circles is very
bitter. Among the lower orders the
complication is having q contrary effect.
The people seem to anticipate that the
gates of the American paradise are
about to shut on Italians and there is a
rush to get in before they close. The
ports are thronged with intending emf
grants, and families. from patriarch to
the babe, can be seen trudging along
the highways that lead to the points Of
departure. The authorities are making
efforts to discourage emigration, but
without effect. Nothing short of bay
onets can stay the torrent. Most of the
emigrants are said to be hard working
and worthy peasants, but very ingnor-
ant and dirty. The increase of taxes
has also tended TO promote emigration.
A Rome letter says that, contrary to the
general impression, the Italian army is
IN much more efficient condition than
the navy. the discipline being very
severe. and the troops are perfect, SO
far as drill is concerned. The mixture
OF the troops has, however. a tendency
TO lower the standard, the Italians Of
the South being, as rule. very distinct.
and inferior to those OF the North who
have so far won most or Italy's snc-
cesses.
