JAMES l.. SULLIVAN came a well
known character among railroad men, and
here is his own account of the results:
"Dey caught me a-beatin me way at Ian
caster an got pinched, but de next morn
in | slid de court and skipped out to Har-
risburg, where | slept for night under de
edge of a sidewalk. De nex' mornin / goes
up to Pittsburg, all de time beatin me
way, where / hung up for two weeks.
Pretty soon gets dead tired of that place
an makes long jump over to Coleport
where de felars begin tellin big stories
about Chicago So | thought I'd rush de
snorter over dere."
He got there in September, 1890, but it
was soon too cold to suit him. He disap-
peared again and was next heard of in a
cowboys camp in Texas. He Yves well
treated, but grew restless, disappeared and
was next located among the Chinese in
San Francisco. Then the fever for travel
again overcame him, and he shipped on
the Pacific steamer Manhattan as a stow
away. When found he was set at work
"a-cleanin of de brasses." The ship re-
mained only few days in Sydney and
Melbourne, after which she returned,
bringing Jimmy with her.
He then started to Kansas, avowedly to
join Jesse James gang, but failing in that
beat his way 60 England by hiding on the
Teutonic. He enjoyed himself greatly
turned to Al erica on vessel which landed
him at Halifax. Thence to Chicago beat
ing the railroads. was easy for him.

might have put stop to it at once,

Avoid Such Ornaments.

@. V. Boys. Of the Royal College of
Science, London, speaks of the danger
attending the combination of gun
cotton and camphOr when made into
buttons. He says: l have received
a letter from the West of England
describing "a most extraordinary adj
venture Of lady who was standing
near a bright but not blazing fire. +"
She found herself suddenly enveloped
in smoke, and a gentleman who
rescued her and crushed the ignited
portion Of her dress had his hand
badly burned. The fire was found to
have originated from a spot where a
large fancy button had been, but
which had now disappeared, while a
similar button on the dress was
scorched. The following rough and
which was inclosed in the letter are
sufficient to show the danger of this
style Of ornament:
A gas flame was directed against
one side of an iron ring, the head of
common wax match containing
phosphorus was placed on the ring
about two inches from the fame, and
a piece Of the button was similarly
placed at an equal distance on the
other side. A second piece Of the
button was also placed on the ring,
but at twice the distance from the
flame. A small piece of paper was
laid lightly over each. After five
minutes the first piece of the button
ignited and burned with a bright
flame; after twelve minutes the
second piece did the same; while,
after seventeen minutes, the match
head was still unchanged. On test
ing it with a light it Immediately
burst into fame. Another piece OF
the button was pinned to the surface
Of an old buster which was hung
from a chair in front of ordinary
bright fire, but outside the fender
and at a distance at which the skirts
of a dress might any day be found.
In two or three minutes there was a
cloud of smoke and hole was burned
in the duSter.

CHAPTER ".
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

Sunday afternoon is the time when all
the prentice youth of London, male and
female, are walking out together. If it
is summer they are in the park, that Of
Battersea, Finchley, Hampstead, Vic
toria, West Ham, or Southwark, proudly
arm-in-arm. If it is the winter they are
on their way -Out to tea" This after
noon should have been numbered with
those Of the sweet spring season, be-
cause it was nearly the end Of April,
but a cold northeast wind and occasional
driving showers forbade the thought of
spring. On the north side Of the Pail
Mall a girl walked up and down the
pavement.
She had called at certain house,
and, being turned away, continued as if
waiting for some one, and resolved to
see that person, to walk up and down
before the house. She began about
three In the afternoon; at four, at five,
at six, she was still walking there. No
body noticed her-not even the hall
porters of the Carlton and the Reform
Clubs opposite. The evening was so
cold that people hurried along the street
without looking at each other. Besides,
Pail Mall is not crowded Sunday thor
oughfare. Therefore no one noticed the
girl. She was fair, Hght-haired girl;
her features were regular and delicate;
her eyes were blue, her figure rather
had stopped to look at her instead of
hurrying along as If lashed with whip
/ by this abominable wind, he would have
remarked first-generally, that here was
an extremely pretty girl, and secondly,
| that here was girl in trouble. Indeed,
if anxiety were ever depicted upon any
/ face, it was upon this girls face; an
/ anxiety which showed itself in a trem-
bling of the lips, in quick, short signs
as she walked, in eager glanoee along
| the street as if she were asking when
when would he come?
It was at seven o clock, Just as the sun
was setting and the lessening light like
a messenger proclaimed the fact nom
| its hidden lord, that he did come. He
hurried into Pail Mall from St James
street. and walked rapidly along, look
ing down: young man.
I accept" he had replied shortly.
Marx that this man, who seemed 30 the
girl so noble and so brave, had become
suddenly at the touch of his father
hand the merest cur and coward Of a
man; he had promised a thing which
wanted, to carry it through, the falsest,
the coolest, the cruelest Of hearts. Fear
Of poverty and dread of his fathers
anger were the ruling forces which
transformed lover, manly, true and
tender, into a cur. The thing makes
one tremble. Under what influences.

Harry. Why can't you look me in the

The BLOODY Riots OF 1877 Recalled by the
Homestead Struggle.


Homestead Struggle.
The labor troubles in Homestead.
Pa, recall the terrible events which
occurred in Pittsburgh. few miles
distant. in the latter part Of July,
1877, where several persons were
killed, many wounded and nearly So
600. 900 worth or property was de-
stroyed. Before actual rioting had
occurred 625 officers and men OF the
National Guard were sent from Phil
adelphia to Pittsburgh. On Satur-
day afternoon the soldiers were or
dered to clear the railroad tracks of
the strikers and to start the first
train east to break the blockade that
had existed for several days. An as
sault by the mob was the result Of
the soldiers attempt at railroading
and one of the militiamen had his
skull fractured This incensed the
soldiers and they opened fire without
orders Ten persons were killed and
thirty men wounded by the first dis
charge. In less than an hour thou
sands Of working men from the roll
ing mills and mines had assembled
and registered VOW to exterminate
the entire Philadelphia command.
The military had then entrenched
themselves in one of the round houses
and round this the mob surged. Fail
ing to dlslOdge the military by small
arms or cannon they resolved to burn
them out. In consequence OF the
blockade which had existed for two
days, the SidingS in the outer depot
yards, as well as those existing east
ward some three or four miles, were
crowded with freight cars filed with
grain, produce and merchandise of all
kinds. besides which a number of oil,
coke and coal cars were piled up in
the mass. These were fired and when
the Fire department arrived on the
scene they were prevented from fight
ing the confagration. The condi-
tion of the militia at the round house
became unbearable, and after sue
cessful sortie they made their escape
from the heat-cracking building.
Their escape soon became known and
1, 600 armed men started IN pursuit.
The soldiers left four dead upon their
route while large number were
wounded. They ultimately reached
the County House at Claremont where
they entrenched themselves. In the
meantime the city was in the state Of
anarchy. Thousands who had not
joined in the pursuit of the fleeing
troops gathered about the burning
buildings and trains, and assisted in
spreading the flames wherever the
torch had not been applied. Dur
ing Saturday night and Sunday the
rioters burned the Pennsylvania Rail
road depot, storehouses, round-houses.
locomotives and cars, while men, wo-
men and children carried off what
plumber they could. The Union De-
pot, Pittsburgh, Cincinpati and ST.
Louis freight depot of the Adams Ex-
press Company, large grain elevator
and other valuable property were
burned. In the Pennsylvania Rail
road round houses 125 frst-class loco
motives were destroyed. The loss in
property was estimated at nearly So,
| 600. 900. On Sunday afternoon the
better class of citizens organized to
prevent further destruction, and that
night the worst was over.

said Harry, but with an apprehensive
glance at his masterful father.
Il don't care what you have given her.
You've got to get rid of her."
Il must keep my word. The son got
up and stood before his father with dog
ged face.
When two obstinate faces gaze upon
each other, one or the other has got to
give in; everybody knows that.

But there was a weakening in his face
as his fathers look became more OBJ
stinate.

going at my time to give in to anybody.

what I like with. Now, sir, here is my

estate, a peerage, the foundation of

He took out his watch, one of those
great gold things which you can buy for
a hundred and twenty pounds or there

stood before him, the Obstinacy gone
clean out of his face, pale and trem-

Deaf Mutes in Paris.

In the National institution careful
attention is given to physical culture.
Gymnastic exercises, long walks, fire.
quent baths and swimming are held
in great esteem, but not trapez eXer-
cises, pole climbing and other violent
and dangerous forms. The difficulty
of giving commands necessarily draws
the limits for the students at this
kind of gymnastics. In the exer-
cises which they do take, they acquire
the idea of rythm, of sentiment, and
of harmony, and they learn attention,
order, and obedience, which are so
useful to the progress of their educa-
ton The institution itself is large
and cOmmodious, well supplied with
all the numerous necessary appli-
ances and with fine library. There
are at present more than geo scholars
in attendance and the number tends
constantly to increase. The cost per
year for those in the institution is
$3.50. For day scholars it is consider
ably less than half that amount.
The following incident is related
by the Chatauquan as showing to
what measure OF achievement tie
instruction of deaf-mutes may be
carried forward: At the Toll-cau of
conscripts the presiding officer saw
approaching him after a certain name
had been reached large, well-formed
young man, who said:
81 believe it is useless for me to
submit to an inspection, Mr. Presi-
dent, I can never pass for soldier :"
"For what reason On what
grounds do you claim exemption"
81 am a deaf-mute."
'sHowl You deaf mute? You
have answered to your. name, and are
now carrying on a conversation with
me Tt is impossible"
sit is only the movement Of your
lips as you speak that read, Mr..
President. l am entirely deaf"
And the truth of his statement
was soon established.
