A Modern Beau Brummeii.

In the three rooms Of an apartment in
the district called, by gigantic euphuism,
Tenderloin, lives a Beau Brummell in
ruins. His white hair and thin mustache
are dyed by a cheap chemical process; the
soles of his shoes are uudone; his clothes
are threadbare. He puts in cup of milk
drops OF oil from old sardiue boxes to OBJ
tain the sensation of an almond milk SOUP
He eats raw sausage in the dark that he
may imagine that it is duck liver patty.
He borrows money, which the lenders
know he will never repay, for his rent.
But he is not miserable, for he wears in
his scarf of satin, once white. a ten carat
diamond, which he bought forty years ago
in London. He has suffered from cold and
hunger, he has slept in abandoned lots and
alleys, and he has never pawned, he will
never sell, his diamond, which everybody
takes for the glass stopper Of a cologne
bottle. he says that as long as he wears
it the glory Of his past life will be to him
a reality.-New York Timca

THIRTEEN KILLED.
Another Deadly Disaster on a
Swiss Railroad.
AGAIN AN EXCURSION TRAIN.

Dashed Into by the Paris Express
and One Car Completely Wrecked.
In Addition to the Killed, Eight
cen Received Severe Injuries-The
Accident Due to Negligence.
BERNE, Aug. 19.-The people of Switz-
erlsnd have hardly recovered from the
railroad scare caused by the terrible ac-
cident at Moenchenstein in June last, by
which over 100 persons on an excursion
train lost their lives and about 800 were
injured, when they were startled by
another wholesale loss of life by reason
of a railroad accident.
This last disaster occurred on the
Jura-Sinplon railroad lines, near the
village of Zollikofen, not far from this
city.
A special train carrying large num-
Der of excursienists from the country
districts to this city was on its way
here, the passengers intending to take
part in the centenary fetes which are
now in progress here and elsewhere
throughout Switzerland.
Due TO Negligence.
This excursion train was stopped at
Zellikofen i'll order to enable it to
be shunted into siding 80 as to
let the Paris express pass. By some
gross negligence, apparently, upon the
part of the railroad officials, the Paris
train, loaded with foreign travellers, was
not warned to look out for the excursion
train while passing Zollikofen, and the
result was that the express dashed into
the special train.
Luckily the engineer of the express
had caught sight of the excursion train
in time to put down the brakes, and SO
the damage done and the loss of life
were not so great as it might have been.
AS it was, the engine of the express
cut into and almost entirely demolished
the guards van at the rear of the excur-
sion train, which was empty, and then
crashed into the rearmost of the passen-
ger cars, completely wrecking it.
Thirteen Killed, Eighteen Injured.
Thirteen people were killed and
eighteen persons seriously injured. In
fered more or less severe wounds or
bruises.
The bodies of the dead were carried
to the waiting room Of the railroad sta
ton at 2ollikofen and were there laid in
rows while awaiting Identification. The
interior of the station, rs a result, pre-
sented most sickening spectacle, for
many Of the dead were SO terribly mutt
lated as to be practically beyond recog-
milton. The wounded were attended to
by the relief corps sent to the scene
from this city. Those of the wounded
who were in state to be removed
have been taken to the hospitals
in this city; others are being nursed
near the spot where their injuries were

claims he went into old man Reese's
house for drink, when the old man
pulled a gun on him and he shot Reese
in self defense. There is no doubt, how
ever, that Burners intention was to rob
the house, and when Reese surprised
him with his gun Bruner shot and killed
the old man.

CURIOUS RIVALRY
Franco Also Claims the Coat Worn
by the Saviour.

by the Saviour.
LONDON, Aug. 18. - The rivalry he
tween France and Germany is reaching
curious lengths. This was illustrated
in the exhibition of the Holy Coat OF
Argenteuil. No sooner did it become
known, a few weeks ago, that the &C.
clesiastical authorities of 1re6es. in
Rhenish Prussia, were about to exhibit
garment claimed to have been worn by
the Saviour than the French were alive
to deprive the Germans, as far as pos
nble, of the honor and profit. It ar
poars that Argenteuil, within easy &C
cesssby rail from Paris, also possesses q
coat claimed to have belonged to Christ.
Arrangements were promptly made
for the exhibition of the relic. Sunday
was chosen as the opening day, several
days ahead of the first public view at
Treves. Great throngs of people went
from Paris and other localities to see
the holy vestment. The exhibition was
in every way successful, and is said to
have caused proportionate chagrin at
Treves, which will lose multitude of
French Catholic visitors. The prepara.
tions for the public exhibitions at Treves
are going on hurriedly, and will be
completed within the appointed time

Twenty millions for Parks and Bouievards.


Chicago's system OF public recreation
grounds consists of six spacious parks
strung upon thirty mile chain of park
ways, called boulevards, which, except fol
two short gaps, completely enoircles the
city. These parks and driveways are in
general well advanced toward completion,
and as their construction has progressed
they have satisfactorily fulfilled the pur
poses for which they were created. jack
son, the largest of the parks, which has
been chosen as the site Of the Worlds fair,
is as yet mainly unimproved, but is des
tined to be one day the foremost recreation
ground of Chicago.
The parks proper, with several small
urban grounds under the control of the
West Side park commission, comprise
1,s4l 45-100 acres of ground, and fifty-nine
miles of bouleyards have been built or laid
out in connection with them In the
twenty-five years since the beginning Of
park construction in Chicago over SEQ, ,O00,-
900 have been expended upon the purchase,
building and maintenance OF these parks
and boulevards.-Harper's Weekly.
