practically the same conditions pre-
vailed in Iowa. In the southeastern part
OF the state the storm was even heavier
than that of Friday. Bridges were
washed away, wheat fields were drowned
put, and the public roads rendered vast
Huagmires. Fortunately no loss Of life
occurred SO far as known.
In other states the storm seems Ia
have been general hut not SO disastrous.
Telegraphic communication is again
interrupted in many districts, and no
dounf as detailed reports are received
the list of damages will become greater.

PULLMAN ELECTRIC CAR.

~ feel as though was going down
the harbor."
This was the remark made by one
of the party which went out on the
Pullman double-deck electric car.
says the Boston Globe, when it was
moved from the Bartlett-street repair
shop to the North. avenue stables in
Cambridge. Since the trip of few
nights ago, when the car met with so
many mishaps, many changes have
been made, and this trip was success
full in every particular.
Despite the heavy rain which fell,
nearly all the party rode on the up
per deck. The sensation was much
like that of riding on the deck of
steamer. The run to Cambridge was
made via Shawmut avenue, fremont,
Court, Green, Chambers, Main and
Harvard streets and North avenues
to the stables.
The car is model of excellence in
its finish and reminds one of stand
ard Pullman car. 1t will seat rs
persons, 81 downstairs, 16 in each
end and 2 on the platform, and Al
on the upper deck. The motor man
is stationed on the upper deck and is
shut in a small house, surrounded by
glass, so that his vision is not i'm
paired in any direction. 1t is
mounted on two eight wheeled trucks
of the Pullman standard pattern, and
equipped with two 25.horse power
blasting motors. The brake is
"friction brake" and the slightest
turn of the handle is enough to stop
the car within quarter of its length.
The lower part of the Car is light
ed by fifteen incandescent lamps,
and the upper deck by ten. 1t is
heated by electricity. 1t is upholst-
cred and carpetcd like standard
Pullman car. The entrances are in
the center of this car from either
side. Here the conductor stands
and signals the motor man by an
electric bell. Push-buttons in the
interior of the Car are for passengers
to use in signaling 10 the conductor.
The car will be run between North
avenue and Bowdoin square, and will
start at once unless something I'M
fOreseen occurs.

SOMEWHAT SARCASTIC.
EDITOR BuLLETIN:-

EDITOR BULLETIN -
In recent issue of the Advertiser
an amateur dramatic performance at
the private residence of one of our
citizens was made public in the
columns of that daily as the CHS
trionic efforts of number of tenta-
tive actors.'
1t certainly seems rather unneces-
sary to throw a dictionary at the
heads of a few ladies and gentlemen
who for the private amusement of
their friends get up an occasional
farce or comedy, and it certainly is
new departure in the daily papers
here to disparage such well meant
efforts by a reference evidently in
tended to be sarcastic.
For theatrical performances Homo,
lulu is almost entirely dependent on
amateur talent, and while the writer
had not the good fortune to be one
of the audience on last Thursday
evening, he has no hesitation in say
ing that from what he has heard in
regard thereto, and has seen Homo
lulu amateurs put before the public
for instance "Pinafore," "Patience, )"
and the "Mikado," in the musical
line, "Everybody's Friend" "Scrap
of Paper" and like comedies, it
would be far better to suggest a
public performance from the COM
pany playing Williams popular farce
last week than to try and discourage
them by doubtful compliments or
thinly yelled innuendoes.

A Hard Man To Catch.

The most remarkable counterfeiter
atpresent living, so Washington
Starreporter was informed, has been
keeping the United States secret SER
Vice in such q condition Of exasper-
alton for a long time past that no
trouble or expense would be consider
ed excessive for the accomplishment
of his capture. And this, although
he produces on an average not more
than two bogus notes in year. The
remarkable thing about these imita-
tions are that they are executed en-
tirely with pen. Once in six months,
almost as regularly as clockwork,
one Of them turnsNp at the treasury
here, to the disgust ofthe government
detectives, whose utmost efforts can
not discover so much as clew to fol-
low. The strongest point about the
matteris that the work of producing

Confronted by a Memory.

Apropos ofthe movement to furnish
books to prisoners in Auburn jail, q
Norwegian lady residing in Auburn
told in her picturesque way an ep-
isode which occurred in Charleston,
s. c. Years ago a mother took her
5-year-old boy into prison when she
went to see his father, committed for
some trifling offence. The little fell
low stepped into the adjacent cell,
having over it the number SO. To
tease him the warden shut the door,
but quickly opened it Mt the little fel-
lows screams. His mother soothed
him, saying: "Nobody shan't ever
shut my little boy in dark cell. !"
Years passed. The boys father and
mother died. His uncle helped him
and gave him money to get to New
York. He fell in with bad company,
squandered his money, and in sheer
desperation attempted to commit
burglary in his uncle's house.
That relative was 30 enraged he

cell, to his horror he saw "6S," and
knew that it was the selfsame cell
that had inspired his boyish terror.
Then his mothers words came back.
Nobody shan't ever shut my little
boy in dark CELL" and he wept as
he had not since her death. for he had
loved that mother The warden's
wife found him in melted condition.
He told her his story, and she gave
him the utmost sympathy and kind
ness during his long term, shortened
by his good behavior. As he left the
cell and took a last look at those ter
rible numbers "6S" he determined he
would make n man of whom his
mother should be proud. By his
trade, learned in prison; he pursued

his taste for literature, also formed

hours. Ten years afterward he called
on the warden's wife, and she could
hardly believe thatit was he who had
