The Colorado train robbers did not
secure axeryirich booty, but they pro-
duced wild western drama that should
delight the hearts OF those who yearn
for more realism. If the blood hounds
come up with them there will be some
more realism of very high order.

NASHVILLE, May 49, A special from
Birmingham, Ala, says: 81. f. Burgess
shot and fatally wounded Sam G. At

miles South of Alfalfa, yesterday after

Eat,s of the Footligl,ts.

Tho fads of actresses and actors form
Il curious study. Nearly every person
on the stage any length of time betrays
!; leaning to some particular thing out
side of her or his profession, a conspicu-
GUS weakness. The lovely Sadie Mar
tinot, whose imported dresses excite the
woman world, has weakness for her
pretty self. She uses paper with an
etching of herself in one corner. George
Cayyan has Il collection of thirty scrap
books. Emma Carson and Marie Jan
sen like cats. Rose Coghlan spends q
great deal of timo on couple of big
dogs given her by Lester Wallack. Her
bert Kelcey, who divides time with Bob
billiard as stage beauty, never wears
an overcoat.
Lille Alliston has rare bric-a-brac
picked up in the Orient. Minnie Palmer
goes in for etchings. Stuart Robson is
said to love old books. Francis Wilson
is crazy on the subject of Napoleon. He
has big bronze bust of the emperor,
given him by some Columbia college
students whom he coached in amateur
theatricals. Wilton Lackaye has a
unique collection of fencing foils. Lang
try has many fine photographs with au-
tographs. Mollio Thompson is proud of
her four banjos. Harry Edwardes goes
in for bugs. He is an authority on en-
tomology. Mines Levick is in love with

New York's lux Industry.

New York is entitled to consideration
as the leading city of the Union in the
manufacture of ink. Fifteen years ago
English ink controlled the market. Since
then the American article has been
gradually pushing the British product
out of the market by its superiority and
excellence. There is Il great difference
between the wholesale and retail price
of the fluid. A little bottle of ink con-
tanning two ounces, for which a person
pays five cents, costs at the factory one
cent. The bottles are really more valu-
able than tho ink they contain.
The best black ink is made from the
gall nut and iron. The gall nut is found
in Arabia, and is about the size of a
hickory nut and grows on a small, scrub
by oak. A large majority of the col
ored inks are made from the extracts of
coal tar. The most expensive colored
ink used for ruling is car1nine, made
from the cochineal bug. The cochineal
bug is raised with lnuch care in Mexico.
The dye from this bug is worth SIS i.
pound. Since cochineal dye is becom-
ing scarce ink makers are compelled to
use an inferior rcd color from coal tar.
The ten different colored inks are all
made from the extract of coal tar White
ink is made for writing on black paper,
but the demand for it is not very great.

The Bowie Knife.

Much has been said and written re-
garding the origin of the bowie knife.
The fact is that Rein P. Bowie, not
James, conceived the idea of the knife.
The invention was the result of an acci-
dent. Col. Rein P. Bowie was a planter
in Opelousas, La. While hunting wild
cattle be attacked a young steer, which
in throwing up its head struck his hunt
ing knife i'll such way as to knock it
through his hand, making an ugly cut
between the thumb and the forefnger.
On returning from the hunt he repaired
to the blacksmith shop on his plantation,
determined to have Il knife which would
be protection against such accidents
Picking up all old file he ordered the
blacksmith to make knife of it having
a cross piece bctwixt hilt and blade, so
that it would be impossible to be entire
ly driven through a mans hand. In
this way did the bowie knife originate,
and it was never intended for other than
a hunting knife; but James Bowie i'm
proved the original weapon, and brought
his own knife SO prominently into notice
by the use he made of it in personal en-
counters that the improved weapon be-
came known lis the bowie knife.-New
York Ledger.

An Indian Legend.

When the Great Spirit created the
world he first made three men, all of the
same color. Then he led them to a pool
of water and bade them jump in and
bathe. Ono of them, obeying ut once,
leaped in in advance of his fellows, and
came out clean and white.
The other hesitated, but ono soon fol-
lowed the first. When he went in the
water had become somewhat stained
and he came out copper coloscd.
Then the third man went in. BY that
time the water of the pocl had become
black. and he was consequently black
when he had bathcd.
Thus it happens that there are white
men, red men and black men in the
world
Then the Great Spirit laid down three
packages before the three men, which
contained their future fate. Out of pity
for the black man he permitted him to
have his first choice of the parcels.
The black man. without hesitation,
took the largest of the parcels; the rcd
man, whose turn was next, took the
next largest parcel, and the whito man
got the remaining one, which was very
small.
Then the men opened their packages.
That of the black man was found to
contain shovcls and other implements of
labor; the red mans contained bows and
arrows, and the white mans small par
Gel consisted of pens, ink and tools for
fine, light work.
From that time on each man made
use of the tools he had chosen.-Cor

Wealthy Women Eeeears.

Several weeks ago two plainly dressed
middle aged women appeared on the
streets here as mendicants. Both had
accordions, from which they pumped
the most doleful specimens Of harmony
imaginable, and to the accompaniment
they sang in high, cracked voices. With
characteristic American careless gem
erosity, the crowds contributed nickels
and pennies by scores and the women
reaped a liberal harvest.
Among the hundreds who saw the
women here was u lady who recognized
them. 81 have seen them in New York,
i'll Portland, Orc, and in Salt Lake
City," she said, "They go to Salt Lake
City every year to look after valuable
property they have there. The truth is,
am told, they are wealthy. They
saved several thousand dollars from
their street earnings and invested the
sum in real estate in Salt Lake City.
Then the boom came on there and in q
few months the women were rich. Now
they have valuable investments i'll vaii-
GUS cities, and their business judgement
seems excellent. The great bulk of
their wealth is in Utah, however, and
their property there is growing more
valuable every day.
"The women like their old profession
of harping to the public, and stick to it
as industriously as ever. They make a
surprisingly large income from it and
save great deal every Year, which goes
to swell their investments. The posi-
bility of these women following men
dicancy as profession, and prospelins
at it, is a astriking comment on the un.
thinking, unquestioning generosity OF
the American people," = Indianapolis

Doesn't Give Leases Now.

"The giving of leases to all sorts of
tenants is not so prevalent rs it used to
be-" a real estate agent said. "Experi-
ence has shown that u tenant whose
financial responsibility is limited to a
moderate income cannot be held to the
provisions of lease, and that most ten
ants take advantage Of this fact. The
law of this state favors the married
debtor who has no property but his
household effects and is dependent on an
income for his living. In fact, the own
ers of houses and flats rarely sue tenants
who break their leases nowadays, and
rarely recover anything when they do.
81 sued man recently who had occu-
pied one of my fats and had given it up
a year before the lease expired. He did
not even defend the suit. When I had
him summoned IN supplementary pro.
ceedings he testified that his income nc
more than paid his living expenses, and
that his household effects belonged to
his wife. Hc was released, and now
can whistle to recover my judgment
AS q rule tenants want leases, but We
don't give them if we can avoid doing
SO with ordinary apartments. We havs
come to tho conclusion that only the
owners are bound by the provisions o
the leases, while the tenants do as thej
please about observing them" New

A Story of Schiller.

a curious incident is handed down
from the boyish life of Schiller One
day, in Il tremendous thunderstorm, the
family gathered together in ill disguised
terror. But Fritz was missing, and the
father, alarmed for his safety, sought
him i'll vain in all the rooms of the house.
He went outdoors to search for the
truant, and to his surprise found him
perched on branch of u solitary tree,
eagerly watching the heavens and the
flashes which lighted up the gloom. He
was wholly Indifferent to the rain. which
had wet him to the skin, and to the dam
ger he incurred. To the sharp reproof
of the father the boy replied with IL
glowing face:

A Liuc Throwing Gun.

Another addition to the list of recently
invented life saving devices is the shoul-
der line throwing gun, invented by Capt.
Darcy Irving, of the English royal navy.
The invention consists of a shoulder gun,
having the cop or coil of line, suspended
in Il case, carried under the breech of the
gun. A rod is inserted in the barrel, the
fore end of the rod being connected with
the end of the line, which is in the center
of the cop. The line is IA yards long,
and the charge of powder used is two
drams Upon the gun being fred at a
high elevation the rod is projected up
w;trdand forward, carrying the line trail
ing after it. The object is, of course, to
land the line over the ship or other object,
the rod dropping behind it. By this
means Il rope can be made fast to the tail
end Of the line by the succoring party, and
be hauled on board by those in distress.

now today she does good service as mail
carrier between st. Thomas and Santa

An IriSl, Legend.

Among the legends of Ireland is this
beautiful and suggestive myth - the
islands of life and death. In certain
lake in Munster there were two islands.
Into the first death could never enter,
but age and sickness and the WEAKNESS
of life and the paroxysms of fearfulsuffer-
ing all were there known, and they did
their work till the inhabitants. tired Of
their immortality, learned to look upon
tho opposite island as upon IL haven of
rcposc. They launched their barlss upon
the gloomy waters; they touched its
shore and they We're at rest. This legend
represents with pathetic fidelity the sad
Erin of today, looking over to Atlanti;
across the sea-America, the haven of
repose, the shores of rest. OF the four
and one-half millions of Irish people now
left in Ireland it is safe to say so per
