The Pintch System Of lighting Passenger
Trains With Gas.

The Pintsch system of lighting by
mean of compressed gas is pronounced
by competent judges to be the best
known means of car illumination.
It is safe under any and all circum-
Stances. 1t is not affected by atmo-
spheric CHANGES. Burns more steadily
than any other light in use. Although
very brilliant it is soft and agreeable.
It emits no smoke, is cdorless and per-
fectly clean.
II is 80 effective and evenly distrib-
uted that travellers in any part Of the
car can read easily and comfortably.
s 1t is simple in operation, absolutely
reliable and constant quality.
Although this system has been in use
On some of the leading lines in the East
and in Europe for some time, the credit
Of first introducing it in the Northwest
belongs to ''The N ORTIZ W estern L1ne''
C. St. F., nj. Il .. Ry.
The vestibuied trains on this line,
leaving Minneapolis at $50 p, M, St.
Paul, 1880 p. M, daily, for Chicago and
Milwaukee, are lighted throughout
with this gas.
In addition to The superior arrange
ment aud comfort Of the sleeping cars
on the vestibu]ed limited, this brilliant
light adds to the appearance of the car,
and passengers haye expressed them
selves as delighted with this method of
lighting.
The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha Railway Company is now con-
structiug plant in Minneapolis for the
manufacture of Pintsch Gas in order to
supply the eEtiro passenger equipment.
No line keeps its equipment more
completely up to the latest standard
shan does THE North Western Line"
aud it has never failed to provide any
improvement likely to add to the COM
fort, safety OF pleasure of through travel.

20 MARY, QUEEN or MERCY
(FROM THE GERMAN OF LIMROCK. J

Written for The Irish Standard.
Long years ago there lived Knight
Renowned in battle; but ne'er was felt
His lances' point in cause OF hight.
Proud was he and vain: his lust
Unchecked: his hardened heart ne er melt
AT thought of God or hell. He must
Have wicked baen for, of his crimes
Un1nindful was he-but said betimes,
20 Mary. Queen Of Mercy
Time rolled by, and still be quaffod
The poison cups Of sin and shame
Even 70 the dregs. He only laughed
AT Conscience pricks; still, he appeared
Though unreformed. yet not the same.
:: He keenly felt. but meyer feared,
That Inward Worm: his enc reply
SUIT now there Com es with it a sigh
20 Mary, Queen Of Mercy"
Hisrevelliny YOUTH was gone at last;
But in his heart IVES left Remorse.
He sought to gteam from out the past
One ray Of hope; even With tears
Recalled to his past life; but worse
Than ever stood out his mis-spent years,
What might HAYS been! almos despairl
Now, more than ever, his fervsnt prayer,
20 Mary. Queen of Mercy"
Peace seemed &C. settle on his mind.
Light shone upon him from on high,
Within his soul he felt q kind
OF prompting to Repentance. He took
The piigrim-staf without sigh.
Aud at the cloister's door BE shook
The worlds dust from off his feet,
Exclaiming now that prayer SO sweet,
20 Mary, Queen of Mercy"
The world, its thoughts, its pains, its cares
He mortified his tlesh-but yet
He joined not with the others there,
At matin hymn, nor choral prayers.
His cell was now his home; whore,
OFT at night, he sadly, lonely,
Wept and prayed, but still said only,
20 Mary, Queen Of Mercy
And thus he lived, until the frost
And snow of time did bend his head
Unto the grave, He ne'er had crossed
The cloister's bounds, until his soul,
Freed from its Mortal prison, fed
To its Eternal nome; there whole
Choirs Of Angels met to herald.
His last words in the world,
20 Mary, Queen of Mercy
And now was sung the Requiem Mass,
The green grass DER his grave did grow;
But hold! Great God! all ye who pass
See, blooming On that little mound,
a lily white as dripping snow,
And on it's leaves were writ around
The very words. inlaid in gold.

Sportsman's Protective ASs0cia-
ton Meeting.

The SDortsman's Protective Association
net at TS7 Mission street last night with
President Charles Mellish in the chair.
After the approval of the minutes, John
Durkee reported that the committee ap-
pointed 1or that purpose had gone to Sacra-
mento to urge upon the Legislature the i'm
portance of enaetlng certain amendments
which had been prepared by the committee
Owing to an unfortunate circumstance but
one OF those amendments had become law.
That was making it lawful to catch salmon
in tidewater with rcd and at any season
OF the year.
Mr. Kennedy opposed the adoption of the
report until Mr.. Durkee should graciously
consent to explain the unfortunate cir
Cumstance" referred to, whereupon the lat
ter arose with some little display OF feeling.
He called attention to the fact that in the
report of their last meeting The CALL had
stated that he John Durkee) had charged
in open session that on going TO Sacramento
Assemhlyman Wentworth had not kept his
promise made TO the representatives OF tile
association. This statement in The CALL
had, in his opinion, antagcnized the MEM
bsrS Of the Fish and Game Committee to
such an extent that they had not beSlirred
themselves to push the amendments through
the legislature He denied that he had
cast any reflection upon MI Wentworth.
MI Kennedy then called lis attention 10
the tact that the minutes, as reau Oy Inc
Secre AIRY, agreed with the report as printed
in THE CALL, and demanded 10 know why
No objection had been made TO their ap-
provaI. Mr.. Durkee alleged that it had eS-
capped his attention, but as it made no par
tiCular difference 70 him, lie would make no
effort 10 have the record eXpunged.
After nearly an hours discussion, in
which it was charged that the committee
had not acted in accordance with its in
structi"ns, the report was received.
The Financial Secretary then read list
Of the members who were in arrears, and
on motion it was decided to give all thirty
days in which to pay the amounts due into
the treasury. 1t was agreed that all who
were still delinquent at the end OF that time
Should be dropped from the roll

ALMOST ENDED.
The Jurors in a Case Try to Lift
$4,000 in Gold.

The celebrated Ames-Treadwell case is
nearing conclusion. All the testimony is
in and. counsel will make their arguments
to-day. Several witnesses were called yes
terday by Ames' attorney and testified that
Calvin Somers, Mrs. Treadwell's brother,
who had given important testimony in the
case, bore a bad reputation. George t.
Knox, notary, was called in rebuttal and
testified that Somers' reputation is good.
The box in which Fisher Ames kept his
coin in the Safe Deposit vault was produced
in evidences by his counsel and $4,000 in
gold was produced to show that it could be
contained in the box. The money was
brought into court in three bags by George
b. Maxwell, Paying Teller of the First
National Bank, and exhibited to the court.
The court ordered this witness to stack
the money in the box aad he proceeded to
do so slowly and carefully. He built up
cylinder after cylinder of coins until the
box was full. and when il had been filed
there were several stacks outside. All but
$4,000 fitted in the box. Then Maxwell
poured the coin into the box and found that
$500 remained outside when it was full.
Attorney Dunno invited the jurors to lift
the box and it proved to be severe test of
their muscular power. The experiments
pleased Ames and his counsel. but were not
regarded with any great degree Of diSc0m-
| posure by Mrs. Treadwell.
Mr.. Ames was then called in rebuttal and
surprised Mrs. Treadwelfs counsel by
swearing that ne had two boxes in the Safe
Desosit vault. He said that he accom-
panied Mrs Treadwell to the vault ON the
22d Of October for the purpose of procuring
documents that were in her box. On that
occasion lie bought two boxes. He used
the boxes as repositories for documents,
| bills, policies of insurance and abstracts of
titles. aud one Of the boxes was much larger
than the other.
His attention was called by Attorney
Van Ness to lis deposition, taken before
the trial, i'm which he stated thai he rented
Box 11S7-the large box-seyeral days after
he rented the small box. He WAS asked
whether he could reconcile that testimony
with the statements made ON the witness
stand. His only explanation was that he
had not refreshed his memory on the sub
ject until lie had scrutinized the receipts
which were given him for the money paid
as rental.
Little additional testimony of importance
was adduced, and the taking of evidence
closed inst bnfOra the time fO,. a1 ion nmant

WENTWORTH'S BERTH.
He viii Not Be the County AttOr-
ney's Deputy.

The trials and disappointments of the
politician are divers and sore. When the
present administration took hold of the
ship of States helm, G. A. Wentworth
helped direct her course rs Assemblyman
from the Forty fourth District.
AS an AsSemblyman only draws n salary
Tor sixty days, MI Wentworth set himself
about in view of a possible Republican Wa
terloo, to feather a nice little nest in the city
government that he could settle into upon his
return from the seat of government. He
rustled for one of the deputyships in the
City and County Attorneys office, and sue
ceeded in getting the promise OF it. In
deed place was held for him to assume as
soon as be should return.
But the great pressure Of work. in that off
calls department created the necessity for
more assistance. To get that much needed
assistance it was necessary to have a new
Law enacted entirely Teeonstructing the
clerical composition OF that office. The bill
was proposed and passed, entworth
anXiouSly but innOcently esPOusIng 1t and
voting for II.
He has now returned to his constituency,
and On Monday presented himself i'll the
City and County Attorneys office TO again
put on the public harness. Before he had
taken his oath, however, and settled down
for two years siege, some fel!ow-Slaye In
the public tread-mill was mean enough TO in
form him that the Auditor would not sign his
salary demands.
WHY not?" inquired the anxious legis-
latur, an expression of alarm spreading ali
over his face. Il don't understand you.
Won't audit my salary demand? Come now
what are you giving us?'
well, Pm only telling you what he says,
replied the first speaker. He says that
under the Constitution you can't hold this
position"
The flush of eighty days at the State cap
ital went entirely out of the young legsla-
tors face. Turning to a case of law books,
near at hand, he reached neryCusly for a
! copy of the Constitution, and, opening as
directed to Section 10 Of Article ", read:
No Senator or member OF the Assembly shall.
during tie tenn Tor which he shall have been
elected. be appointed any civil office OF proft
under this Stale which shall nave been created,
or the emoluments OF which have been Increased,
during such term.
This WIS a cTusher. 1t fell like an ava
lanche on the rising exponent of pure poll
tics. He grabbed his hat ard made break
| for the Auditors Office. That dignltary was
courteous, but immOvable. Such a demand
would be Illegal and he certainly could not
| think If auditing it,
By this time the representative of the
! FoTty-fOuTth was beside himself with dts-
! peratiUn. He rushed to this and 10 that
legal authority, but nowhere got more than
| the cold consolation that the law was I'm
mistakably against him.
He gave 1t up. Retiring TO seqdestereG
| spot among the highlands of the Forty
| fourth he sat himself down TO reflect on the
uncertainties of the things of this life.
MIR. Wentworth will not form a part OF
| the County Attorneys clerical force.
