why a Fur CoIlared Dude Was Made to
Ride Two stations Beyond His own
II is very funny to see selfish man IN
the present keep-your-seat era OF eily
travel laboring to establish a system OF
ethics. or what my friend Jinks calls ETH
ouette. which viii satisfy an uneasy con-
science.
soon after 6 o'clock the other evening a
crowded Third avenue car train went
northwgrd. and, as is always the case,
there were more men than women sitting
and more women than men standing,
Among the latter were three Grand
street shop girls-loud mouthed, slangy
and pretty. They made no secret OF what
they Thought of the men who would not
rise and give them their seats. 1t was not
complimentary.
AZ Twenty-third street q remarkable
specimen OF humanity-one Of your smooth

/ arose. and with an elaborate smile offered
his seat to one OF the girls. a nimble
footed man near BY slipped into it. Every
| body laughed but the girls and the dude.
/ The latter turned a look upon the en-
/ croacher which was calculated to crush
| him to earth 50 that he would not rise
/ again, and as he passed the maidens said
/ with deprecating air:
..That fellow is an awful cad-an awful
cad"
"He's got a face" said one of the shop
girls. and all three collected about the cul-
| prit and proceeded to pass high favored
remarks about him, which he listened to
! with apparent amusement.
Stung with indignation, young man
! sitting next to him got up and gave one OF
the girls his seat.
Another man who had not thought Of
! giving up his own seat turned around and
said
'sYou ought to be ashamed of YOURSELF
You had no right to that seat. A man can
do with his seat what he chooses"
isThat's what did, - said the culprit un-
blushingly 81 sat in it."
'.You ought to be ashRmed'--
''Oh, give us a rest" cried another pas
senger. "Get up and give the lady your
own seat if you are so troubled about it."
indignant passenger subsidies.
BY this time Mr.. Dude, feeling that he
had made rather a neat exhibition OF him
self, got near TO the door, when a strong
hand was laid on his collar. He turned
and saw a very angry workingnan looking
into his eyes.
''See here, said the latter in tone which
made the fur lined fraud quail, I've a
good mind to black your eye for you"
"Wa-wa-what is the matters" gasped the
fellow.
sThe idea of your trying to do the purity

And amid the plaudits OF the entire car

the evening spoken of a shower was
coming up, she says to her brother, who
was playing with her baby on the floor,
"I'll run up and close the window at
the head of the stairs" and suting
action to words did so. At the instant
ofreaching the window she was knocked
down by the tightening to the floor
below near by the brother and child.
He was stunned and dazed for an
instant but rousing extinguished the
flames (for her clothes were on fire)
then called friends and physician to
see what could be done. But death
was found to have been instantaneous
Not a tremor or sign of life was appar-
ent. The current came in at the
window making its first mark on the
back of her head, melting the hair pins,
burning OFF the hair, and burning the

Another SWindle.

a question that is now agitating the
minds of number of people in the
west part of the county and the vicinity
of Alma is whether they have been
swindled or not. 1t seems that during
the latter part of July and the fore
part of August an oily tongued gentle
man called on them and represented
that he was taking subscription for
Peterson's Magazine and the Saturday
Night and as an extra inducement he
offered the two for the surprisingly
low amount of Sl.50 per year. That he
was successful goes without saying but
as the weeks rolled by and no papers
came few of the more skeptical wrote
the companies and received the encour-
aging reply that an agent by that name
was unknown to them. The following
is one of the receipts given.
No. 7s6. Aug l, 1891.
Received of Mrs. Mary Fisher, One

where he went to is not known but he
evidently lined his pockets well.

mensurate with the stagnation in business and
were confined to the smallest fractions. Chi

Senator Cameron's Silver specul.tions.

senator Cameron's Silver SpeculataOns.
Considerable comment was heard at the
Capitol this afternoon bearing upon the con-
nection of Senator Cameron with the prevalent
silver speculations, as disclosed in the course of
the investigation today, but the announcement
had been largely discounted and accordingly
created no great stir. limitations Of the Sem
ator's silver speculations in connection with
the pending legislatio n had been freely made
for some days past.
The chief point of interest. as referred to in
the conversations among the politicians gen.
orally, was as to the delay in the examination Of
Mr.. Vest until today. which appears to many to
have been effected purposely in order to hold
back the disclosures about Mr.. Cameron as
ISOLATION with the silver pool until after he had
been reelected ut Harrisburg.
1t is asserted by many that il tOday's testi-
mony regarding the Senator had been made
public day or two ago it would have been
very likely to have defeated his reelection,
owing to the pressure Of adverse public senti-
ment on the subject of silver speculation among
members Of Congress.
