TIE ATPRMPTED TRAIN RoBHERx
AT HUNTINGTON.

The annals of railroading, even ifthe
wilds Of the West, present no more ldar-
ing attempt at train robbery than that
which occurred on the Chesapeake and
Ohio at Huntington few minutes after
midnight yesterday morning. And tits
certain that brace Of desperadoes were
never more disagreeably surprised than
those who tried to "hold up that train
with their big, ugly-looking revolvers.
TWAS not the stereotyped story OF
frightened passengers meekly handing
over their valuables. 1t was quite
different affair. The first man whose
money was demanded, instead of hand
ing it over. Immediately grappled with
the would-be robber. The cowardly
ruffian fired point blank in his face,
killing him.
Captain SAM MATHEsoN, who, like
wise, is not at all like the stereotyped
"held up" passenger, also took hand,
mauling the desperate with his nst ana
following it up by taking his guns from
him.
Though the robbers managed to es-
cape by stopping the train and jumping
off in the darkness, Captain MATHEsoN
deserves the highest praise for his
bravery and pluck. Were there a few
such passengers as MATHEsoN and
TECK on all "held up" trains, robbers
would soon become shier and consider
ably scarcer.
1t is probable the would-be robbers
will soon be caught, probably have been
by this time, and it is practically cer-
tain that the murderer OF Mr.. TEcK
will promptly swing for his crime.

THE New York Herald compares
WAsH1NeroN's Farewell Address with
HARRIsoN's last message as follows:
In Washington's farewell country Is rec
oguized as higher than party and the In
terests Of the people as superior to party
considerations. In Harrison's address
party IS put shove country and party con-
siderations above the common welfare.
President Washington spoke as the chief
magistrate OF the American people, as a
brOad-minded statesman and loyal
patriot; President Harrison wrote as the
president of the Republican party and a
disappointed politician. He advised his
party to sulk and let the Democrats go
ahead and bring predicted disaster upon
the country. In doing that he showed
himself a nsrrOw-minded partisan instead
Of a large-minded statesman and patriot.
Mr.. HARRISON has nerve to hint at
''bringing disaster" on the country in
view OF the state Of the treasury as
HARRISON steps out compared to what
it was when he stepped in.

a Pelican Stnrv

A California paper relates the follow
ing tishstory: Sunday there was a great
crowd OF fishermen on the wharf haul
ing in yellowtails and mackerel. During
the height of the sport an immense peli.
can. measuring fully six feet from tin to
to tip of wings, flew down SO low over
the wharf that one of the boys seized
him by the wing. In the other hand the
boy held string of eight mackerel, and
it was the work of but moment for; the
pelican to grab the fish and gobble up
the lot at one gulp. Others then seized
the bird, but the fish were safe so far as
the pelican was concerned, and he. was
finally allowed to depart. This is not a
fish story, but a pelican story. and en-
tirely truthful"

The Alligator Played ,Possum.

An alligator that played 'possum came
near doing damage to some young men
near Millen Monday. Van Tyler, of
this place, together with Messrs. Apple
white and DeLoach, Of Millen, had been
out to the river hunting. They had killed
a gator about seven feet long, and
putting him in the wagon were bringing
him to the town. Van, who was sitting
near the middle of the wagon, began to
triumph over his fallen enemy by con-
temptuously kicking him in the side.
Then thing happened that was done so
quick the boys can't explain it, There
was rush, snap, yell, and Van went
out the wagon head foremost, and leav-
ing as souvenir part of his pants
hanging on the gators teeth.
The other boys woke up to the i'm
portance of hasty action, but DeLoach
took little too much time in getting
ready for an old fashioned head fore
most dive into sand bed, hence he
struck the ground minus a shoe heel,
which his. 'gatorship gratefully swal-
lowed and slyly 'wunk' his eye as if he
enjoyed a lively time himself. The
boys rallied from their stampede, and
advancing with guns put an end to
their foe.-Waynesboro (Ga.) True Citi-

Bound to BE Canr,,t

What is to be done when fish which
ought not to be caught, and which one
does not wish to catch, perversely insists
upon being captured whether or no, and
actually forces itself into ones posses
sion? That was the question that stared
Mr.. }. U. Gregory, of Quebec, full in the
face when he was fishing for trout at
Tadousac one fine day of the past season.
The trout were lawful game, but salmon,
in the same waters, forbidden fruit. 1t
was then with a sigh of sincere and un.
feigned relief that the angler saw, a
hooked salmon after bit of magnificent
play break away with the hook and
parted leader. --e
But satisfaction was changed to dis
may when the leaping fish came with
one grand vault after another directly
for the boat, and at last lay stunned and
helpless in the canoe. Mr.. Gregory
promptly solved the problem by regain
ing his fly and assisting the fish back
into its element, there, like the patriotic
orator, to sink or swim, live or die. sur.
vive or perish. Forest and Stream.

it's often as low as fifty cents and never
over dollar pound. Then, on baking

soldiers to spread the butter on thick

Gifts Of very Poor c,,,a,.,.

The children in the free kindergarten
IN West Fifty-fourth street received an
object lesson in charity on Thanksgiving
day. Most of these children are of poor
parentage, some of them even destitute.
A day or two before Thanksgiving day
their teachers talked to them in a kindly
way about the real purpose and spirit of
the day. They had nurtured the idea
that 1t was feast day, and that they
ought to have a nice dinner in the
school The teachers told them that
they could best manifest their thankful
ness for the blessings they enjoyed by
contributing some little gift to make
others, poorer than themselves, happy.
There was no urging that the children
should give, but merely the suggestion.
On Thanksgiving day an autumn festi-
val was held at the free kindergarten,
and one of its most interesting and beau
t1ful features was the Offering of gifts
for the poor by these poor children.
They marched in procession around a
large table and deposited their little
tokens.
One very small boy brought big red
apple, another small paper of candy,
still another much worn picture book,
and fourth laid set of jackstones on
the table. But it was the Offering Of a
poorly clad and pale faced little girl that
touched the hearts of the observers most
keenly. She modestly placed upon the
table single sprig of geranium, which
had doubtless been plucked from a care
fully nurtured home plant. There were
other more pretentions and valuable
gifts, and all were gathered up and dis
tributed among the poor patients in the
various city hospitals.-New York
Times.

wsla Run OF a. empty ca...

There was Il lively commotion at the
Telegraph Hill end of Kearny street. and
that no one was injured was almost a
miracle. Near Vallejo street, on Kearny
is a wine saloon. The proprietor left =
huge empty wine cask on the outer edge
of the sidewalk That part of Kearnv
street is on Telegraph Hill, the steepest
block in the city
man fell against the cask and
started it rolling. A second later it was
making great. bounds through the air
and covering twenty feet of street at
single flight People seeing the danger
shouted to those down the street to get
out of the way. Broadway was cleared
at a single bound, and the cask narrowly
missed crushing a laundry wagon into
splinters. On it went at a Palo Alto
speed, scattering people right and left.
A Union street cable car was stopped in
time to prevent collision The running
cask evidently meant mischief, and. an
parently to prove the superiority of wine
over water, it headed for Dr.. Cogswelrs
fountain on Kearny street and Mont
gomery avenue.
A bundle that frightened pedestrian
dropped turned the cask aside so that it
barely missed the cold water resort.
However, 1T took its revenge by smash
ing small fruit stand all to pieces, scat
tering the fruit in every direction. The
lower deck of a bootblack's stand was
carried away, and a cigar stand got a
blow that ratified down the boxes on the
shelves.
At last the cask was stopped near
jackson street by colliding with hitch
ing post. The bootblack immediately
claimed the cask for the damage to his
stand. The owner of the cask stood at
the top of the hill and wisely, decided
that it was better to stay where he was
than to venture among those whose
places had been wrecked.-San Francis

The democratic leaders at Washington
are manifesting Il desire to prevent the
the silver question becoming a direct
issue in the next presidential campaign.
Representative Springer of Illinois,
Senator Carlisle OF Kentucky, Senator
Palmer of Illinois and Representative
O'Neil of Massachusetts are in favor of
RELOCATING the question to an interna-
tional congress which they propose to
hold in Chicago in 1868. The object of
the congress would be to formulate. sub
ject to the approval of the countries
represented, Il uniform monetary sys-
tenn and fix the relations which gold and
silver should bear to each other. 1t
cannot be denied that an international
agreement would be the best settlement
of the silver question but it g one thing
to call u convention and quite another
to get 1t to agree to anything that would
be satisfactory to the free silver men.
This effort to shelve the silver question
will be disappointing to the advocates
of free silver who are entitled to expect
something more definite from the dem
ocracy, after al the denounciations they
have heaped on the party whom they
charge with having demonetized silver
in 1873. 1t is even now apparent that
the scheme will meet with better oppo
sition by some of the most prominent
democrats. Bland is said to oppose it
and delay in silver legislation and Rep.
resentative Corlbertson of Texas. has no
hesitation in saying that the proposition
is betrayal of the interests OF the peo-
pie to the money power of Wall street.
Senator Chelton of Texas thinks tina.
the only, manly way for the democrats
to deal with the silver question is to
pass an unlimited coinage law and put
it to the test of experience. On the
other hand Senator Sherman voices the
sentiments OF many republicans when
he says; 'The only way to settle the
silver question is to settle it. We have to
face it and any bills proposing to releeate
it to an international congress is a sub
terfuge designed to keep 1T out of the
coming campaign. Pass a free coinage |
bill and send it to the president and if
ne vetoes it let him take the RESPONSE
oiiity," This would unquestionably be
NE maniier course to adopt but it won't

One of the curiosities of the Anderson
hotel Is the cricket that chirps in the
elevator. During the flood last winter
the little fellow was washed out of his
home, but he turned up after several
days in another part of the house. Then
he slowly moved his house from point to
point-until he reached his old home in
the elevator. He has been there now
for several months, and evidently was
glad to get back, as his song has been
sharper and merrier ever since. The
little fellow is well fed, but nobody in
the house has seen him. His music is
the only thing that reveals his presence.
