The trains on one OF the railroads
leading into Atlanta are notoriously
slow, and they are on that account
much frequented by tramps, who can
readily catch on as they pull out Of
stations. Not long ago, as passen-
ger train stopped at water tank, a
tramp. dusty and tired-looking,
slipped Off truck and approached
the conductor.
'Ain'tyou the conductor?" he asked.
"What were you doing under that
carp" was all the information he re-
ceived.
"Ridin' you didn't s'pose 1 was
walkin', did you?"
"Well, what do you want? I'm the
conductor"
"For the Lords sake, mister, can't
you put more steam on, or put a
brakemen out behind to push her, or
do something to get along faster! l
want to get to Atlanta before the eX-
position is over"
"Come off," growled the conductor.
II you don't like it why don't you
walk?"
Because the president Of this road
Is friend OF mine," and the tramp
drew himself up in dignifled way,

The conductor gave him a seat in
the smoking car after that, and he
went to sleep and forgot that there

trast to the city paper, so far as type and
general appearance goes.
The type is invariably. larger and the
displays of advertisements and headings
to news articles commonly coarser. The
ink is not always spread evenly over the
page. Nevertheless the business man
opens the paper to the page devoted to
village news and reads every line there
After that he not infrcquently reads the

TIE LAW AS TO LABELS,
Sweeping Decision Against Trades
Un,pns Handed Down at Piusburg.


Un,pns Handed Down ai Pittsburg.
LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 1S.--A sweeping
decision against trades unions was
handed down by Judge Williams, and
cJncurrcd in by the other Supreme
Court Judges, in case just decided
at Piitsburg.
Cgarmakcr's International Union
No. l2G OF Ephrata, /" ncaster county,
by bill in equity restrained Cigar
Manufacturer John II. Brcndle from
using Cigarmakers' international
Union label on his goods. The County
Court sustained tho masters report
In behalf OF this Injunction. Brcndle
Is a union manufacturer who had in
Cured the III will OF local officials and
refused to use their labels. He issued
similar labels or trade marks of his
own, and appealed to the Supreme
Court from the Injunction.
Judge Williams reverses the lower
courts decision on the ground that
the Cigarmaker's union, formed for
the mental, moral and physical well
fare OF its members" is n personal
and social organization, not a COM
mercial one, and under the law OF
Congress, therefore, cannot own u
trade mark.

NETTING THE TIGER.
The Ceremony Attending the Capture
the Animal in India.

The Ceremony Attending the Capture OF
the Animal in India.
Among the Hill tribes of the Wynaad
there is novel method of netting and
destroying tiger, which has somewhat
of the character of religious festival,
and which is attended with much excite
ment and some danger. Quite recently
there was, reports Madras paper, such
an exhibition at place called Kunti-
chadi not far from the borders of the
lockwood estate, at which, the paper
in question informs us, several Euro
pean ladies and gentlemen were present.
1t was determined by the Chettiar and
the inhabitants of the neighborhood to
get rid of an immense tiger that had al
ready destroyed several head of cattle,
and a carcass was traced into the midst
of a neighboring piece Of jungle on the
slope of hill. about mile and half
from the hamlet. Along the lower sides
of this Jungle line was cleared, and
nets, made of coir rope, were set up on
posts, some eight feet apart, while above
an entrance was left for the tiger
At night the villagers and their friends
mounted trees and other points of van
tage. and waited, armed with spears
some eighteen and twelve feet in length,
for the advent of the tiger. He did not
disappoint them, but appeared during
the night, and entered the inclosure of
nets through the opening left for him.
After invoking Divine assistance, and
encouraged by one who was believed to
be under inspiration, the watchers de-
seconded from their posts, and with yells
and shouts drove their royal victim into
the middle of the Enclosure, when they
closed the entrance with more posts and
rope netting. The men remained round
the jungle all night, lighting fires to
prevent any attempt at escape; and
at noon the following day, after
more cermony and much feasting,
the whole country turned out in
holiday attire to witness the work of
destruction. The tiger, which was a
fine brute, measuring about ten feet,
was theu reused up to bestir himself,
by sundry insults from stones and
sticks, and it made several furious
rushes at its tormentors, only to be
foiled by the net. 1t was a magnifi-
cent sight to see it spring forward with
mighty roar, and dash itself against
the net. After several charges, how
ever. it got dishearJoned and retired to
the middle of the inclosure, from which
nothing would induce it move. The
circle of rope-net was then drawn closer
round it until the tiger could be reached
with the spear. 1t made one more
mighty charge, after demolishing sever
al spear-handles, and was pierced below
the neck and fell dead. The beast was
skinned, and the skin retained by the
head Of the hamlet as a trophy of the
event-St James Gazette

survived His own Execution.

A man who has attended his own
execution and still survives torelate the
details is surely worthy of a short para
graph. The man in question, although
at present serving in the humble ca
pacity of a waiter in one of the Paris
cafes. was, twenty-one years ago, one
of the historic characters 81 the world.
His name is Colonel Marteras, and in
1869 he was ON the point of being pro-
claimed President of Uruguay, when he
was arrested. charged with treason, and
sentenced TO be shot.
on Monday, June so. of that year, he
was taken by platoon of soldiers out
of the capital to a cleared spot i'm the
heart of forest and bound to chair.
At the word "Fire." a nervous shock
caused Marteras to fall to the ground.
He did not hear the volley, but a laborer
working near 10y did. The workman
vent to ascertain the cause; saw the
soldiers marching away and Marteras
badly wounded, but not dead by any
means, lying on the ground. The la
borer took the would-be President
home and cured his wounds, and he and
Marteras both now often tell of the
supposed execution of the French pre-
tender. st. Louis Republic.
