An Evil Spirit Possessed Him.


We venture the assertion that NJ. II. de
Young has more than once wished during
the past week that the man who invented
the nickel-in-the-slot machine had never
been born. We cannot imagine the sort of
evil spirit that possessed Mr.. de Young and
made him strike blow at the little news
boys, many Of whom are orphans, while
others are the main support of a widowed
mother We should rather thought the lit
tie nrchins' cry of "Ere's yer morniG'
Chronicle" would have been sweet music to
De Young's ears. There are plenty OF men
in California to-day holding positions Of
honor who we're once those same little
"dITty-faced" newsboys peddling the San
Francisco Chronicle Mr. de Young might
better have spurned the honor of ever be-

Stopped the Miracles.

The tomb of Saint Etienne de Muret.
canonized in 1888, in the Abbey OF
GrandmOnd, was SO great an offender
on account of the number of miracles
that the religious were completely worn
out by the rush of votaries. The prior
devised, however, very simple but eff
fective remedy for this grievance. Be-
taking himself to the tomb, he spake as
follows: Servant of God, you preached
to US the delights of solitude and yet
you assemble in our retreat as many
people as if it were a market or fair.
We are sufficiently persuaded Of your
sanctity not to be curious about your
miracles. If, then, you will not leave
off working them, we protest and declare
on high, in virtue of the obedience we
have promised you, that we will IN
earth your bones and throw them into
the river" AS might be expected, the
threat was sufficient, and Saint Etienne
de Muret did no more miracles.-All the

A Big Ferry on Lake Michigan.

A marine experiment of great impor.
lance to Milwaukee is announced. The
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Mich.
igan railroad is about to build large
ferry steamer to test the feasibility OF
carrying trains of cars across Lake Mich
igan from Kewaunee to Frankfort. The
new steamer will cost quarter of q
million of dollars, and will be large
enough to carry forty freight cars, and
she is to be fast enough to make the
runs across the lake between the points
named in about five hours. The distance
is sixty miles.
The ferrying of cars in this manner
will result in a great saving, as
it costs from six to twelve dol
lars a car to make the transfer
of freight from the cars to the steam
ers, and besides, the loss through break
age incident to such transfers will be
prevented. 1t is thought the experiment
will prove successful, as freight trains
have been thus transferred for years be-
tween Cape Charles City and Newport
News, distance of forty miles, across
the mouth of Chesapeake bay, where the
water is sometimes very turbulent

An Imperial Chemist.

Prince Lucien Bonaparte has be-
queathed to England his precious collec-
ton of mineral and chemical products.
This collection contains specimens of the
very greatest value on account of their
rarity, among these being pieces of gold
and platinum which are absolutely
pure.
But the gems of the collections are
two specimens of those exceedingly rare
metals-irridium and germanium. The
former, which is worth three times the
price of platinum, is as large as horse
chestnut. AS to the piece of germanium,
although smaller in size, its enormous
value will be understood when one re-
fleets that it is worth sixty times its
weight in gold.
The whole collection was prepared in
the princes laboratory, he making the
most difficult experiments with his own
hands, for he was one of the most dis
tinguished chemists of the day. 1t is
interesting to note that his chief and al
most his only assistant in his chemical
researches was his wife, the princess

A Paris Telephone Company.


In Paris the idea Of entertainments 5y
telephone has been SO far developed that
company has been formed to provide a
theater telephone service. instruments
are placed in clubs, hotels, cafes and
restaurants, and various performances
are constantly on tap. By dropping a
half franc into slot the vicarious thea
ter goer obtains communication with
his favorite playhouse for five minutes,
and if he times his connection properly
he can hear the song which has become
the hit of the season at very small
charge. A private service of similar
nature is also contemplated, and before
long it will be quite natural for host to
give theater party in his own drawing
room.
There is always peculiar fascination
for the general public in listening by
means of the telephone to entertain
ments which are given at distance.
One of the most attractive features Of
electrical exhibitions is always the tele-
phone section, where a number of tele-
phones provide entertainments ION tap"
from theaters and concert halls. This
was particularly noticeable at the Paris
electrical exhibition held some years
ago, and at the Lenox lyceum in New
York. The telephone section was crowd
ed all the evening with delighted listen

The Struggle for Bread in Vienna.

The distribution of bread to the poor
of Vienna took place Tuesday between
II o'clock and noon, in order to make
sure that only the unemployed received
aims. Though $500 large loaves, which
had cost 1900 forms, or e1O0, were
given out, several hundred starving peo-
pie had to go away empty handed. The
scenes witnessed were perhaps the worst
that have occurred as yet. 1t was pitt
able in the extreme to see wretch
edly clad women, with babies in arms,
and children, fighting as for their lives
for loaf of bread, into which, hot as it
was from the bakery, they cut like hun
cry wolves.
Similar scenes were witnessed at the
distribution of bread to men. About
twenty people tainted in the crush, and
those who saw the bitter disappointment
of the many who, after waiting for
hours, finally received nothing, will
never forget the spectacle of human
misery and want. Four thousand two
hundred loaves were given away yester-
day, when the crush was so enormous
that number of poor women, with ba-
bies in their arms, and several old men
tainted away and required medical at

Music, Welsh and BASQUE.

Having two American friends stop
ping with us, we brought nice Welsh
girl from Dolgelly one evening to sing
to them the national songs. Miss Madge
Roberts, sweet, pretty young lady and
excellent singer, went over an immense
repertory of Welsh music, and Miss S.,
who is a very scientific musician, made
many remarks on the peculiarities OF
the Welsh scale, etc. Suddenly she ex,
claimed: Il cannot think what music
it is that know that these Welsh tunes
SO much resemble. Stay, it is Basque"
and she proceeded to hum three or four
typical Basque songs. Miss Roberts
and all Of us instantly recognized the
similarity Of these with the Welsh, es-
pecially the oldest Welsh, songs which
she had been singing.
Miss S. was very much surprised when
told her that Professor Boyd Dawkins
believed in the original identity of the
Basque and pre-Celtic Welsh, a theory
of which she was quite ignorant, SO that
her testimony to the similarity of the
national music was entirely spontaneous
| am not musical, and my opinion is
of no value, but there does appear to me
to be in the old Welsh music, as in a
great deal of the Welsh character, a dis.
tinctly non-Aryan spritelike character
irreducible to the order so dear to the
Saxon soul. The music goes on for a
few bars with even, exaggerated EN-
phasis on time as in a soldiers march
then suddenly, as if tired of it, bounds
off among the bushes, hop, skip and
jump and never comes back!-Londor

A Useful Patrol Wagon,

A useful patrol wagon has been de.
vised for electric railroaders. 1t is con.
structed very much like police wagon,
but has square tower rising out of ii
which is mounted by a ladder. The
tower is raised or lowered by means of a
crank and pulley, and when elevated to
its full extent it is fifteen feet high. The
consequence is that the ineman can
drive under the wire to be repaired and
be Immediately placed by the raising of
the tower on level with his work. The
patrol wagon is a great improvement on
the old method of repairing, without its
risks.-Exchange.

THE LAST DECADE.

When murky clouds that pail a summer day
DO, ere its close, dissolve and drift away,
w nat Joyous smiles break DER the sunlit plain,
how stirs the dormant pulse of life again!
And in the afterglow of fading light
There breathes promise of morrow bright;
80 at this century's eventide-whose years
Vain hopes have wrought TO merge in darken-
ing fears
Doth man rejoice; for from a rifted west
Assuring rays beam cross his weary quest,
Dull, leaden skies now change to glsddening
hues;
The waiting heart its cherished song renews;
That song divine!-not less its power than
when
Twas first heard-"Peace on earth, good will
TO men,"

Two Strange Fish.

Two strange fish were taken in trawl
off the coast of Maine recently. One,
the lamphis, is the only specimen of the
kind ever taken in eastern waters.
In shape it was like very large sun
fish, and its weight was about 300
pounds. Its back was of beautiful
sky blue, the sides were snowy white,
and the fins scarlet.
The other fish, the ecolar of the Ca
nary islands, is common in warm lati-
tudes, but has never before been taken
so far north as in this case.
Both were taken at a depth Of 1000

Trouble in the Brooklyn

BICYCLE RECORDS CUT DOWN.
Johnson Beats ~Zimmerman's Time
After the Wayne
Runners.

The Hudson County Jockey Club has
had the Board of Control beaten
from the start. Now those who
SO willingly obeyed the command
OF the autocrats are dissat listed.
The declaration of the numerous owners
given in THE NEws that they would run
their horses at the North Bergen track
has been followed by more serious COM
plieations for the Board Of Control. The
Brooklyn Jockey Club may secede and a
lively war is in progress among its prin-
cipal stockholders.
When the Board of Control rule against
The winter race tracks was made public
last year, Mr.. Richard Hyde, Mr.. Michael
Dryer and other stockholders 10 the
Brooklyn Jockey Club were opposed to
the new rule and did not care to involve
the club In any fight against the poorer
class OF horsemen, or to do anything that
would hut the popularity of the jockey
club at Gravesend. Mr.. Philip Dwyer.

and a member of the Board OF Control,

opposition.
There has been no Disgusting the fact,
however, that Mr.. Michael Dwyer has
chafed under the rule and on more than
one occasion, particularly at Monmouth
Park he expressed himself in rather a
forcible way about the Board of Control.
Mr.. Dwyer thought. too, that il his horse
Lougstreet had had the advantage OF a
few good races at North Bergen auring
the preliminary season In the spring, he
would have won the Brooklyn handicap
with the great son of Longfellow. The
small attendance at the GraTesend meet
ing and the general criticism of the press,
have determined Mr.. Michael Dwyer, and
it is said, Mr.. Hyde to take the Brooklyn
Jockey Club out of the Board of Control.
Mr.. Philip Dwyer, who Is set in his
ideas, does not concede the necessity for
any change, n so it is said that some
race track stock in the Brooklyn Jockey
Club will change hands after the present
meeting is over, unless Mr.. Philip Dryer
changes his mind about the boycott on
winter racing. 1t is said that Mr..
Michael DwYer is willing TO buy or sell
stock. He will purchase his brothers. IT,
