DANGER ON THE ELEVATOR.
fe"Pie Who Should Be Careful How
They Use the Rapid Lifts,

nv AEA ACF
They Use the Rapid Lifts.
The general use Of rapid travelling ele-
Vators is having an effect upon the peo-
pie who use them that is causing a good
deal OF speculation as TO whether it is
safe for d person having a weak heart to
ride up and down On them h%abitually.
Some persons believe that the rapid mo-
ton n sudden stops are liable to pro-
duce heart disease. Doctors are not posi-
tive on the subject, but their opinions
seem to lend color to the theory that a
person with a weak heart should not
ride frequently on such elevators.
This is certainly a very interesting
question:" said DR.. Thomas J. Mays,
who makes diseases Of the heart a
specially. Il have heard people com
planning of a sinking feeling in these
rapid transit elevators, but whether the
movement of the elevator has any effect
on the heart or not | am not prepared to
say. When a persons heart is diseased
in any way the slightest change of en-
virOnment will affect it, of course. The
movement of the elevator causes a
change of environment, but it may or
may not cause an ~aggravation of the
heart trouble. Doubtless it quickens
the movement of the heart, but without
investigation of the subject it would
seem to me that the movement of a
rapid transit elevator would only affect
those persons whose hearts are affected.
However, | am not prepared to give an
opinion without study of the question:"
DR.. Frank Woodbury., another physi-
clan who gives heart troubles special
attention, also said he had not studied
the question, but he was rather inclined
to think the movement of a rapid transit
elevator would affect a person.; :'but,'
said he, Il think it would have more
effect on the nerves than on the heart. l
came down in Il of those elevators
this morning with a lady, and she COM
planned of a sinking feeling, as if she
was going to faint. Not having given
the matter any serious consideration, T
am not prepared to give an opinion, but
| should think nervous people would
very probably be affected by the sudden
and swift upward or downward motion
Of an elevator"
DR.. John B. Shoemaker was another
~ l. NCS4AACU ~ CAp4CSo OH
opinion. II have heard the matter dis
cussed," said he, but l have not given
it personal attention. The motion of a
rapid elevator undoubtedly has a tenn
porary effect on some people, but whether
it affects the heart permanently or not
cannot say"
Another physician said that many
persons nerves and hearts are affected
by the excessive use of tobacco, and the
rapid motion of the elevator will always
affect them. The heart is always af-
fected by the constant use of tobacco,
and its movement easily quickened by
excitement Of any kind. This is espe-
cially the case with persons Of a nervous
temperament, and those persons always
have sinking feeling when a rapid transit
elevator suddenly starts or e stops.
Whether these rapid transit elevators
have a permanent effect upon the heart
or nerves, he would not venture an
opinion.-Philadelphia Record.

Yellow Flowers Bring Ill Luck.

Actors have a queer superstition about
yellow flowers, and will not wear them.
While at DR.. Todd's booth at the fair
grounds Miss Marie Greenwood saw
some yellow flowers, and after admiring
them asked for them. Mr.. Guibertson,
her leading man, was present and begged
her not to take them, saying they would
surely bring her i'll luck. A laugh was
INDUCED in at his expense and she took
the yellow flowers. In an hour the opera
house was in ashes, and Miss Green
woods i'll luck mad cost her 81, 800. The
flowers got in their work.-Owensboro

Senator Stanford Wanted to Expel 200.

Stories are already beginning to come
from Leland Stanford, Jr., university,
at Palo Alto. Last week about 200 stu
dents let off the brakes of a flat car
which was standing near the university,
and many of them got aboard and start
ed down grade toward the station. In a
short time the car was spinning along at
a lively rate, and the lads did not stop it
until it had reached Palo Alto. The ca"
was missing the following morning, and
a special engine had to be sent from San
Jose to haul it back.
Senator Stanford was wrathy when he
heard Of the incident, and proposed tC
expel the ringleaders. It was discovered
that there were fully 900 boys engaged
in the affair, and the senator gave orders
that they should all be required to leave.
The order would probably have been n
forced but for Mrs. Stanford. She in
terceded for the youngsters, and excused
them by saying that it was only a boyish
prank. She finally succeeded in inducing
Stanford to change his resolution Cor.

\ Sea Island Nine Feet Across.

Captain John Richards, of the British
ship Cambrian Monarch, reports having
passed within half a mile of a pinnacle
rock, showing about seven feet above the
water, in latitude 90 dogs. 2 secs. north,
longitude 1877 dogs. SO secs. west. No
soundings were taken and no discolored
water was seen except close to the rock.
The sea was smooth, and from the top
sail yard the rock appeared to be about
nine feet in diameter at the waters edge,
but much larger under the water. Cap
tain Richards says he is sure that it was
not a floating object. Philadelphia

Won by a Cuff Button.

"DO you see that peculiar looking stud
that man is wearing on his shirt 'front.'
said a hotel clerk the other day, point
ing to a gentleman standing near by,
and on whose expansive bosom was
fastened a gold button with a bird in
black enamel upon it.
THAT man is a st. Louis drummer,
and he has been wearing that stud for
twenty years to my knowledge" added
the clerk. 1T vas twenty years ago
that he married a relative of Patrick
Egan, of Nebraska. Previous to that
time a certain young business man Of
Chicago was also counting her, and
among the presents he once gave her was
a pair of cuff buttons, of which that stud
was one. The rival saw these buttons
one day on the young lady's cuffs, and
in Jest p~urlOined one Of them and placed
it in his shirt front. When leaving the
house afterward he encountered the
Chicago sutton, who spied the jewel. An
explanation was demanded Of the young
lady and an angry scene followed, and
the Chicago man left in a huff.
When the st. Louis drummer called
the HeAt tlHIe Ic pIOpOSeu anu Was dC-
cepted. After their marriage his wife
told him that had the Chicago lover pro-
posed first, which he undoubtedly would
have lone but for the cuff button episode,
she would have accepted him. Ever
since that time the happy husband has
been wearing that button, and money
could not buy it of him."-San Francisco

Training II Dog to Dig for TruffieS,

II I" AoS u" D
1t has been found that dogs could be
trained to hunt t~ruf1es, and so great is
the demand in France for the truffle that
many of the canine species are now, IN
certain districts, possessed of this esri-
mable talent. The training through
which they pass in order TO acquire a
scent is a decidedly agreeable one. To
begin with. finely cut or sliced truffles
are mixed daily with their food, until at
length they develop a liking for the
flavor.
Afterward their owners conceal in
some portion of Il field where truf1es are
supposed to exist a little tin dish of flet
aux ~truffes, covering the same with a
few handfuls of earth. The dog is then
brought ont and urged to hunt for the
dish. goaded by an empty stomach.
When he at length finds it ne is caressed
by his master, and thus in the space Of
a few weeks lie will readily learn to
hunt for the vegetable itself.-Washing-

A BOY AND FIVE BEARS.
The Former Meets the Latter and Xii
Four of Them

The Former Meets the Latter and Kills
Four of Them.
\ story of an encounter between five
bears and boy, in which the latter COMES
out victorious, reached this city yesterday.
The hero of the adventure is said to be Bert
Monroe. son Of Henry Monroe Of the valley,
says the Helena journal. The boy is about
10 or 20 years old and is an enthusiastic
hunter and dead shot Last fall he killed
the largest bear that had ever been killed
IN that section, and he refused SIS for the
hide. Although this latest adventure, in
which he is said TO have figured SO promi-
nentiy, sounds considerably like a bear
story. his friends in this city are inclined to
think he would not hesitate to tackle one
bear or dozen if lie came across them
together.
Young Monroe started out for ST. Peters
Mission lie" days ag5 on hunting ex-
petition. He was after bear and he found
more than he had bargained for. His jour
ney took him up toward the head of Milk
River, and, while not expecting il, he came
face to face with a bear, which emerged
from what afterward proved TO be "a bears
den or lair. lie had no sooner killed the
bear with his trusty Iitle than another one
appeared. He killed this one IN the same way,
and the third appeared. lie killed this one
also and before lie had time to realize that
he was getting about all the bear lie cared
for III one day bear number four appeared.
This fellow was also killed, and there was
only one cartridge left in his magazine. He
needed this cartridge, too. for fifth bear,
ana larger than any OF the other four, came
out of his den and made Tor him. He fired
his last shot, and though il probably hit
bruin, il did not do the business, for he came
straight at him. Monroe did not have time
to get another cartridge in his gun before
the Infatuated beast was on him. The aui-
NAL made slap at him, which sent the use
less gun flying out OF his graSp, and he had
just time to draw his hunting-knife and give
bruin an ugly cut in the throat.
III doing This he received severe squeeze
from the monster and fearful bite on the
shoulder. Then he lost consciousness. 1t
mus: have been only a few moments, how
ever, for when he came to again his horse
was between him and the bear. J he latter
was evidently hurt. for he was making a
feeble attack upon the horse and was bleed
ing profusely from the wound in the throat
When the horse turned tail to his adversary
and began to kick tie bear made off to the
brush, leaving trail of blood behind. Mon
roe found that he was hurt in his back and
side, which had been terribly torn in his brief
struggle With difficulty lie mounted his
horse, which was quite unhurt, and rode two
miles to point where men were at work on
railroad grade Of the Great Northern
From there he mas taken TO the PIegan
Agency, where he now is. A party when
went out the next day found the four bears
which had been killed, and trail of blood
leading as far as a stream, made by the fifth
bear. The gun was also found where il had

William Baker Accused of Having
Stolen Them.

William Baker, the late friend of Bertha
Stanley, the Confidence Queen, has betrayed
the faith that tie latter reposed in him, ac-
cording to her statement to the police last
night. She said that on her recent trip to
Seattle she left Baker as the custodian of
about $500 worth of diamonds, consisting of
rings, Scarf-pins and other valuable set
tings. When she came back he refused to
return them to her. Finally she discovered
where they were hidden aud took them to
herself. Friendly relations were again es-
taDlished. Meanwhile, Baker was watch
ing his chances to get the jewels back. His
opportunity came last night. so Bertha
says, and he disappeared simultaneously
with the diamonds.
The police informed her that she would
have to get out warrant for Bakers arrest
to-day If she wanted her sparkling pebbles.
