The FabIed Phrnix.

The ancient tradition concerning the
phmnix has introduced into almost all
languages the custom Of applying that
name TO whatever Is singular or uncom-
mon among Its kind. says o writer in Vide
Arake. Arabia Is said 10 have been the
home of this fabulous bird.
According to HerodOtus and other an
cient writers. the phmnix was bird OF
great beauty, and was about the size OF an
eagle.
A shining and most beautiful crest
adorned the head; the feathers on the
neck were a bright golden color. while
those on the body were rich purplei the
tail was white, intermixed with red, and
the eyes sparkled like diamonds.
Only one of these birds could live at q
time. but il lived 500 or 600 years. When
that period drew to an end II built for IT.
self funeral pile of wood and aromatic
spices; with its wings it famed the pile
into blaze. and therein consumed itself.
From its ashes worm was produced, out
of which another phoenix was formed,
having all the freshness of youth. The
first care OF the new ph@nix was TO SOL
emnize its parents obsequies
For that purpose 1t made ball in the
shape of an egg out OF myrrh, franklin
cense. and other fragrant things.
AZ Heliopolis, a city of Lower Egypt,
there was O magnificent temple, dedicated
10 the sun. Alter making the egg-shaped
ball as heavy as II could possibly carry the
phoenix then took the ball ON its shoul-
ders. and, flying to the temple at Heliopo-
lis. burnt il on the altar OF the sun.
The priests then inspected the register,
and found that exactly 500 years or ex-
actIy 600 years had elapsed since tho same
ceremony had last taken place. The
phnnix Is always represented as rising
from the midst OF the fiames.

Mnrrinnsa hY nnnns.

Getting married in England, to people
who are not able TO buy license, is very
embarrassing matter. SAYS the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. A license is expensive,
while marriage by banns costs only a
few shillings, so most prefer the banns.
You have TO be cried three times on
three separate Sundays. and If fellow
happens 10 make mistake and go 70
church on the Sunday when his banns are
cried he finds the proclamation Of his
matrimonial intentions TO be very eln-
barrassng, for Of course he Is unmerci-
fully grinned at by the rest of the audience.
Couples having their banns cried usually
stay away from the morning service or
prevail on the clergyman 20 proclaim the
banns at an afternoon or evening service
when few are present.
Very often, however, the parson refuses
to do this. arguing that as the banns are
designed to give publicity to the occasion,
the most public time of proclamation
should be chosen; so the afflicted man
and his unfortunate companion that is TO
be are forced to bear the gibes of their
acqualntanees for at least three weeks.

MISSIONARIES IN DANGER.

WASHINGTON. August l9.-The Secretary
of State to-day received a cablegram from
the United States Charge at CONSTANT:
nople informing him that the house or
DR.. Bartlett, an American missionary at
Bourdour, Province of Konia, Asia Minor.
has been burned, and that the lives OF the
missionaries there are in danger. He be-
lioves that if prompt action is not taken
the missionary cause and the lives of the
missionaries will be in serious danger IN
other places.
The building of DIR. Bartletts residence
was originally stopped by the local
authorities. On application being made
for permission TO complete the same IT
was refused unless Or. Bartlett would
furnish bond or guarantee TO neither
hold religious worship nor instruct chill
dren on the premises. The withholding
of the permit was claimed 10 be uuder
orders from Constantlnople. The Lega-
ton applied to the Sublime Porte for such
permission, claiming that the treaty rights
of Americans extended not ONLY TO the
purchase of land, klt to the enjoyment OF
the same. The permit was finally granted
by the Sultan, and IL appears that imnne-
dlately after the receipt OF this permit by
the local authorities the house was burned.
Secretary Foster promptly oabled the
Charge TO make urgent demand for
effective protection. Indemnity, punish
ment of the guilty parties. and repfimand
of the authorities If found remiss. The
United States cruisers Newark and Ben
nington. now on their way to Genoa, Will
DO ordered 10 the vicinity OF the outrage
to support this demand.

withal says the Cheyenne LeGqer.
Beng asked to tell the story. the young
lady said About five years ago my
brother, the only son our parents ever
had, when quite young man lett the old
home IN Wisconsin and came 10 Wyoming.
Of course my parents and / did all We
could to dissuade my brother from coming
West, but like all. or nearly all. BOYS at
his age, he was determined to come, and
that settled 10.
He came out to Cheyenne and began
with Lee Moore TO herd cattle near Ante

letters from him saying that he was well
satisfied and making plenty Of money.
Shortly after we got the last one we re-
ceived one from Washington, then 4 Ter
rltOry, as was Wyoming. This one con.
tanned the sad news that he had died In
that far-away Territory. We compared
the two letters. but could not understand
them.
Ever since we have been determined
TO trail the matter down and see ii foul
play was not at the bottom OF it all. My
father Is too Old TO make the sacrifice of a
trip 10 Wyoming and Washington, and, as
We had no other male representative IN

A VERY BAD WRECK.
A TRAIN RUNS AWAY AND THE EN-
CINE Is TURNED OVER.
The Engineer Thrown Into the River and
Seriously Hurt--Two Others Injured
Cars Smashed to Pieces.

There was a bad wreck about half-past
o'clock last night on the Allegheny con-
nection just where that track enters the
Danville block over the bridge crossing
the dock. Both the Allegheny connection
with the Orleans station and the Danvlile
connection with its West Point Division
utilize the narrow strip OF land between
the dock and tho river. but opposite the
foot of Twenty-seventh street and on tho
south sido of the dock the Allegheny
rains.switch to the Danville tracks.
An Allegheny freight tram of about forty
cars gong east got from under control OF
the crew while on the trestle and dashed
down the heavy grade at a rapid rate.
THE SWITCH WAS OPEN.
The switch leading into the Danville
block not being turned-it being the rule
that all Allegheny trains stop at that point
for signal TO 60 ahead--the locomotive
took a side track and crushed into another
locomotive and freight. The hreman OF the
runaway train. Mr.. T.. NJ. Sweetman.
jumped on the dock side before the COLI
sion and was badly hurt about the left leg.
The engineer, Mr.. Bernard Walton clurg.
however, TO his locomotive, which was
turned over on the river side and was
rocks in the river Ho was severely and
perhaps seriously hurt. Mr.. f. Whitlock,
the conductor, was painfully injured about
the leg, and all the rest of the crew were
badly shaken up. Seven or eight boX-cars
were deraied and some of them literally
reduced to kindling-Tood.
SURGEONS on THE GROUNDS.
DR.. Hugh Taylor, surgeon of the road,
and tho city ambulance were Immediately
'phoned for. aud were quickly Of the scene
OF the wreck. and the wounded engineer
and fireman were taken 70 their homes.
Conductor Whitlock. though suffering con-
sideFably. remained on the spot.
The decentralization ut the block was
struck by the locomotive of the runaway
train as il turned over and completely de-
molished. The operator. however, saw
t1at the accident was inevitable i'll time to
make his escape from the building.
THE DELAY TO TRAFFIC.
Traffic over the Allegheny connection
will be obstructed until some time to-day,
but the panyille road can use its old con-
nection.
To all appearances tho wrecked locomo-
tive will be fit only for junk, though last
night it was impossible to get a correct es-
timate of the loss IL was varlouslY esti-
mated by trainmen at from $4,000 to
$4,000

come Infamed with liquor, and under such
conditions, tho officials say, they would not
be surprised at anything that might hap
