r.l, rhat ne HAD been Cheated.

A young clam farmer from Canarsie,
accompanied by his 25O pound wife,
created much amusement on bridge
train coming to Brooklyn Sunday little
before midnight. The cars were as well
filed as is usual at that hour. The
rustics drew attention TO themselves by
the loud tones Of their conversation.
'Now, baby" the man was saying, ''you
know amt lit s;ingy and wouldn't
care for the money at all, but | don't
want any catfish of toll grabber to do
the dead swindle on me--Sunday nights.

"oh, never mind, Reuben." said
"baby" consolingly.
"Well, now, baby, you can see for
yourself. There's eighty-four cents out
Of dollar. Do you see that That
shark has kept back ten cents on me. 1t
ain't the money care for, baby. Here,
do you want itF'
"No; | dol't want it. wish you
would keep quiet"
"Well, if you don't want it, here goes"
scattering the change on the floor.
"Baby'' maintained stolid silence,
gazing ruefully at the coin on the floor.
Finally Reuben realized that he had
been guilty of criminal waste, and he
said: "Well, if you don't want it, I'll
take it," and no began clumsily to pick
the money out of the spaces in the mat
ting. At this point general laugh
arose from the other passengers. When
the Brooklyn station was reached the
farmer was still mourning his missing
dime, and when | left his ponderous
wife was struggling to prevent him from
taking the next train to New York to
get hunk with "that pirate" at the toll
box.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Ears.

If your ears burn, people say some one
is talking about you. This is very old,
for Pliny says, when our ears do glow
and ringle, some do talk of us in our alb
sence."
Shakespeare, in "Much Ado About
Nothing" makes Beatrice say to Ursula
and Hero, who had been talking of her,
"What fire is in mine ears?"
Sir Thomas Browne ascribes this con
ceit to the superstition of guardian an
gels, who touch the right ear if the talk
is favorable, and the left if otherwise
This is done to cheer or warn.

Railway Clerks with Long Days.

The hours on duty Of a booking clerk
are usually ten day; but they are at
very irregular times. This is on account
of trains starting to run as early as O.
m. and continuing till midnight. There
must be always some one to book the
passengers; and as there are nineteen
hours to cover, and in many cases only
two clerks, they have to work as best
they can that beth may have time for
their meals.-Chambers' Journal.

New YORK, NAV I6.-A private letter
received today from the City of Mexico,
written MAY 10 by a business man who
has ample facilities for getting correct in
formation, says there is much reason to
believe that the Mexican authorities are
quietly giving aid to the Chilian insurg-
ents, The Esmeral1a has been able to
get all the coal she wanted, and private
advices from Mazatlan report that
the war materials brought from San
Francisco were transferred early this
morning to ships belonging to the Chilian
insurgents. The same letter mentions
rumors of a secret treaty between Mexico
and San Salvador against Guatemala.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 26.-Didro Del
HO0dr has published a letter from Aca.
pulco which says that the Chiliau insurgent
steamer Esmeralda. entering that port,
saluted the Mexican flag and the Mexi-
can government in return saluted the Is
meralda's flag, thus making it an open
question whether this was a recognition
by Mexico of the Chiliau insurgents. The
captain of the Esmeralda, in an interview
at Acapulco, a lew laws ago. said 1t was
not his intention to take coal by force OF
he would have done so before. He also
said he was not in a hurry to leave port,
but was waiting further instructions.

GALENA. Kan, MAY 26.-Several
weeks ago Mrs. Blanche Mickey, from
Colorado, came here to visit her mother.
She was accompanied by two children
aged G years and 2 months, respectively.
She had not been here long when Viii
liam Alvord, also of Colorado, appeared
on the scene. He and Mrs. Mickey were
evidently on very intimate terms. Sun.
day afternoon Alvord went walking in the
woods with Mrs. Mickey and her two
children.
The Oldest child returned home at 4
o'clock. Mrs. Mickey and the Youngest
child were never again seen alive. A
searching party today discovered the
bodies of the mother and child hanging to
a tree in the woods where they had been
walking Sunday.
Alvord was arrested Sunday night on
suspicion of murder. When he heard
the news of the finding of the bodies to-
day he attempted suicide by hanging hut
was cut down in time to save his life.

New YORK, May 2G.-For the past
year there has lived n small, squalid
low-ceilinG room at 43 Hamilton street a
widow named Margaret Mullancy, who
was the admiration of the Fourth ward
and the peculiar pride OF the numerous
population of 43, She was about SIS
years old and had been of am.
pie size for years, hut about a year and a
half ago she began to grow fat at a rate
that astOnished the neighborhood. She
soon weighed more than 500 pounds, and
ceased to move except when it was alb
solutely necessary. She was only five
feet six inohes tall, and her arms, which
, 1891-05-27

we're OF enormous size. rested on cush-
ions OF fat about her ribs at an angle of
40 degrees. She was quite poor. Her
room had a bit of torn and worn oilcloth
on the floor. The furniture was Il few old
chairs, none of them large enough to hold
her comfortably. She spent most of her
time on a faded carpet-covered lounge,
which served her as a bed also. How she
could stay in 1t is rather a mystery, as it
is but a little over one foot six inches
wide and has a back. The carpet-eov-
erlng Is torn in many places. and the
solled material that makes up the interior
of It hangs out.
Two months ago she was taken with
erysiDeias. but, as tie disease grew worse,
she grew %tatter, until her weight was $50
pounds. She seldom moved on the
lounge, because her legs were no longer
able to sustain her. Once or twice she
tried to get up and fell on the floor where
she lay until the neighbOrs came in and
picked her up. 1t was certain from the
first that she would die. and her cousin
came to live with her and waited for her
death. On Saturday she died on the old
lounge which only held part of her body.
and as she died she nearly rolled to the
floor. 80
Undertaken c. F. McUollum, of $50
Mulberry street, came to arrange for the
funeral. He found that be had no box
large enough to take the body so that 1t
could be kept in ice. 1t was yembalmcd
and a simple coffin was used to bury it in.
An ordinary coffin for a grown person is
IRON sixteen to eighteen inches wide.
THIS coffin was thirty seven inches wide.
There was trouble about the grave also.
An ordinary person is content with a cut
in the earth twenty-iOur inches WIDE. but
they had TO buy a plot of ground forty
eight inches wide for Margaret-the
width of two graves.
The funeral was held this afternoon at
, O'Clock. When they came to get the
coffin cut they found that it was so wide
that it would barely 20 through the door
way. As 1t was so heavy the bearers
could not get hold of it to carry it. a
packing case truck was got in the
nelghborhood and fourteen men lifted the
body to 1t. IL was hauled as far as the
front door. Then it was found that the
truck could not be got through aud down
the steps safely. So sixteen men took
hold OF the coffin, aud turning it side
ways got it through and took it to the
large undertaker's wagon, for Mr.. Nc
Collum hunted in vain for a hearse wide
enough to hold the coffin. At the Cal
vary cemetery sixteen men, two to each
of the six handles and two at each end,
lifted the body out and lowered it into the
two graves. Five carriages followed the
wagon, IN one of them was Mrs.
Mullaney's only living child.

National Bank Examiner Drew testified
as to what he knew regarding the affairs

that OF George Hume Of the firm of Rob

January to September last. was a heavy
operator in stocks through his firm
In that time they purchased for him be-
tween $500.OOO and 5000, 900 worth of
stock of various companies. 1t was pur-
chased outright by Bardsley, never on
margins. During December Bardsley
closed all his holdings in these stocks.
Hume was unable. without the books, to
give the amount lost or gained by the
Bardsley Transactions. but as far as he re-
membered 1t was small either way.
Hume's firm borrowed 5000, 900 from
Bardsley during the financial ~strinCency

Concerning women's wages she says:
"a fair rate can be maintained only
when they belong to the same labor

criminal to sell their labor for less than
it is worth. This lesson may be a long

If you will ask any ticket agent or hotel
clerk for a folder containing a map of the
Great Wabash route and will examine
that map, you will see that this line offers
inducements u~nequaled. For instance,
you will see that the Wabash can take
you from either Kansas City or Council
