GOING To A FIRE IN PARIs.-People
as rule do not rur to fires in Paris as
they do in American cities, for alas
there is police regulation which sets
forth that if there is no lireplug within
reasonable distance Of the burning
house the male passcrs-by may be
bounced upon and made to stand in a
row and pass buckets from the nearest
courtyard pump. | remember once
gazing with the almost unmixed delight
that fills the souls of the average spec
tator when something ridiculous befalls
some one whom you do not know, and
watching the police stopping their prey
and standing them in line to e1tinguish
a small fire very near our own house.
There came past tall, dignifed man,
evidently lawyer, who was rushing
along in q great hurry reading an i'm
losing document as he went. He did
not notice the crowd, so ran headlong
into the midst of it, and was promptly
seized by the police. He argued, he
raved, he showed his document, but his
circumstances were useless, for he was
suddenly lifted from his feet and car
ried like shipwrecked wheelbarrow
into the courtyard, and l beheld him
no more. He had opposed the French
police, so was promptly crushed into
submission by that judicial juggcrnaut.

THE MOST pressing need of Alexan-
dria now is an electric railroad to
Washington by the most direct and
shortest possible route, so that railway
connection can be had with that city
frequently and rapidly. Where there's
a will there's way If that way were
found, the finders would have bonan-
"a. Alexandria would double her popu-
lation in five years, all her property adj
vance in value, and the space between
Alexandra and the Long Bridge, along
the line of the road, soon be filled with
buildings, and, in fact, the two cities be
practically one, this one being the ship
ping part and the manufacturing dis
trict of the other. If Alexandrians do
not find the way of such road, and do
SO with little delay, they may rest as
sured that other people will, for its
profits are too patent to be unpossessed
much longer.

WHEN REPTILES RULED 4 WORLD
There was time sin the wide rcvolv-
ing shades of centuries past when our
globe was wholly in the possession OF
walking, swimming and Tying reptiles.
Being the dominant type, they divided,
naturally, into three great classes. In
the oceans they became gigantic pad
ding enaliosaurians /; on dry land, or
rather, wet land Qor the whole face of
the globe was doubtless a quagmire at
that time), they became monstrous,
erect dinosaurans, some of which had
legs fifteen feet or more in length !;
those which inhabited the regions of
the air were the terrible flying ptero-
dactyls. For vast, but unknown
length of time, these awful creatures
literally ruled the earth. Finally, after
they had "scen their day." they began
to grow less and less. One by one they
died out in the face of the younger and
more vigorous fauna, until at the pre-
sent time only few miniature alIiga-
tors and crocodiles, a few toy snakes
and skulking lizards and geckos re-
main as reminders of the enormous
reptilian types that once crowded land
and sea.

SUBMARINE Boat IN A GALE.-The
submarine boat of Prof. George c.
Baker arrived in Chicago on Thursday
last from Detroit, and is now anchored
in the outer harbor. The vessel. which
was towed from Detroit by d tug, pass
ed through the heavy gale of last Fri
day night when the C. w. Gilcher is
supposed to have foundered. The boat
weathered the storm by being lowered
about ten feet below the surface, and
was raised once every two hours to en-
able those on board to obtain supply
offresh air. No attempt was made to use
her own propelling apparatus, and she
was towed comfortably along by the
tug. She was five days overdue, and
Prof, Baker, who was awaiting her ar
rival, was nearly frantic with anxiety.
The boat, which was built in Detroit,
and originally intended for the torpedo
service, is forty feet long, nine feet
wide and fourteen deep, and will stand
water pressure at eighty to one hun
dred feet under the surface. Her dis
placement in seventy-Gve tons, and the
motive power is electricity.

RICHMOND AND DANvILLE BOND
HoLDERs.-The Richmond and Danvillc
underlying bondholders' committee met
in Baltimore yesterday and formulated
plan for the protection of all securi
ties guaranteed and indorsed by the
Richmond and Danville system. In
this plan, the committee says it pro
poses to act for all the divisional bond
holders of the system and will call fol
the pooling of the bonds of the several
divisions only when the committee
deems it necessary to carry out its gen.
eral purposes. 1t says that it is tc
the best interest Of the bondholders
that the integrity of the system should
be preserved, and if the Richmond and
Danville system be sold at all it should
be sold only as an entirety, but if Il ma
jority of the bondholders of any divi
sion should request a separate sale OF
such division, the committee will en-
deavor to formulate plan to that end
The committee undertakes to represent
in pending litigation the interests of all
bondholders whose bonds may be de-
posted with it and will endeavor to Sc
cure the payment Of interest. The
committee says that its work will be
confined solely to the protection Of the
interests of such bondholdcrs as may
deposit their bonds with it. The COM
mittec also urges that it is desirable
that all underlying bondholders. but es-
pecially the holders of the bonds on
which the road has defaulted, shall de-
post their securities with this commit
tee and join together for the mutual
protection of interests and the enforce
ment of just and legal claims. The
payment of 81 a bond will be required
at time of depositing.

A WoMAN's SUIcIDE.-Aw woman was
killed near Chattanooga, Tenn, on
Sunday by the incoming passenger
train on the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis railroad under circum-
stances which seem to indicate the
most dreadful form of suicide. As the
train came in at 80 mile rate the
woman walked upon the track, and
paying no attention to the warning of
the whistles, stood still until struck by
the pilot. The blow threw her over
the mile post, distance of 80 feet
Her neck, back, shoulder and several
minor injuries were inflicted. In her
hand she had q bunch of chrysanthe-
NUNS which she clasped in her death
grip. She was unknown, apparently
about fifty years of age and poorly
clad. The coroner's jury exonerated
the railroad men from blame.

Too LITTLE DEMAND FOR WHEAT
There is little room for doubt that there
exists larger amount of available
wheat in the United States and Canada

of our history. The stock Saturday
last, says Bradstreet's, was 81, 399,035
bushels, or 24,061,7 more bushels
than on November l, 1891. The alb
sence of an active foreign demand is to
some extent, it is presumed, the cause
of this glut and its consequent reduc-
ton of prices.

HIDING IN His Own HAIR.-Wil-

most remarkable freaks outside of the
museums. He has been in this coun-
try 81 years, but is unable and unwil-

with his wife and daughter on an iso-
lated farm that yields corn and pota-
toes enough for the trio. A visitor,
from curiosity, called on the old man
recently, and thus describes what lie

what proved to be Schmidt sat in
an arm chair in the centre of the one
roomed house. Only huge mound of
hair surmounting his shoulders was
visible-not human feature to be
seen. Schmidt propped his cane
against his chair, and with both hands
pulled this shock of hair open, showing
bis face, which was bleached and un-
canny-looking. like vegetables grown
under cover. Only for minute was
the old mans face to be seen, for he
dropped the curtain of hair back over
it. saving in GerSlan that he did not
like the light and could not endure it.
The great mass ofhair fell as thicllly
over his face in front as over the back
of his head. Schmidt has worn his
hair as a hiding-placc for his head and
face for is years, and steadfastly re-
fuses to have it cut His eyesight has
been practically destroyed by having
the light shut from it so long"

Mr.. Wise Gets Mad.

Mr.. John S. Wise, formerly of this
State but now of New York, last night
attempted to address a republican meet
ing in the Old Market Hall in Rich
mond. The gathering was largely COM
posed of negroes. Mr.. Wise had not
proceeded very far in his speech before
some enthusiastic young democrats on
the outskirts of the crowd commenced
cheering for Cleveland Later on the
speaker was jceringly asked why he
didn't remain in New York. He de-
clared that he intended to speak if he
had to remain on the platform all night.
The interruptions continued until MIR.
Wise lost his head and his temper. just Us
he did in this city some years ago, and
holly declared that free speech was de-
MED him in his native State. He then
left the hall for the telegraph office fol-
lowed by a big crowd of negroes. Mr..
Wise, acting like the naughty boy who
tells his mother on his tormentors, sent
a telegram to Carter, chairman OF the
republican national committee, giving
his version of what he termed the out
rageous conduct of democratic thugs
and ruflians," with the request that the
chairman would send the dispatch
broadcast to republican papers. Mr.
Wise read the message aloud when
some one in the crowd chal.
lenged the correctness of some Of
Mr.. Wise's statements in the dispatch
Mr.. Wise became enraged and threat
ened TO make the gentleman 'eat his
words Mr. Wise was surrounded by
big crowd and a pistol was drawn
but nothing more serious than war OF
words ensued. Those who inter upted
Mr.. Wise were chiefly youths, and it is
said some few negroes joined in. Mr.
Wise voted in Richmond to-day. IT
was questioned whether he had not lost
his citizenship by removal, but the
democrats did not challenge his right tc
cast his ballot.
