The B,.ck Death in Eneland.

In England the black death made
its first appearance in Dorsetshire,
and quickly spreading over the west
it reached London by way of Oxford,
leaving death and desolation behind
it everywhere. It was as fatal in the
country as in the town. Whole vii
lagos were depopulated and small
towns almost wiped out of existence.
The dead lay unburied as they had
died, for priests had been swept
away with their flocks, and in many
parishes there was no one left to Gel
citrate mass, while every trade ard
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the horror of the times.
bands of marauders roamed about
unmolested, robbing alike the dead
and the living, and dogs, deprived Of
their masters by death, came to-
gether in packs, made ferocious by
hunger, and secured the country like
SO many bands of wolves. All the
Year Round.

She was an odd looking little old
woman in a skinny and faded black
alpaca dress and q big, old fashioned
black straw bonnet with some limp
black feathers and faded ribbon on
it. But her small and deeply wrin-

her blue eyes were as bright and

her on the train and the burden Of it
all was that she was going back

saved by \ Burro.

%
Bob Montgomery, with Mr.. Sher-
wood and Mr.. Metcalf, left with six
burros ON a prospecting trip in the
foothills around Death valley. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but
they agree the famous valley is well
named. In making the trip from
Furnace Creek to Cottonwood q hot
wind came up, In which it was next
to impossible for them to get breath.
The animals began to give out, and
they were compelled to abandon
their packs and start on a hunt for
water. What little they had left
they mixed with vinegar and oat-
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture 80
hot that it would actually burn them
when they wet their swollen tongues
with it.
None.had ever been on the ground
before, and it was only due to the in
telligence of Montgomery's pet jack,
Sullivan, that they were saved from
suffering, if not death. Dragging
along up the valley, they were pass
ing the mouth of canyon, when
suddenly old Sullivan gave a tre-
mendous bray. Metcalf said, That's
water. boys!" and started up the
canyon. Sure enough, he gave a
yell of joy. Water was found. L.

A way 10 Handle Many Lines.

A friend of mine has three desks in
his Office and handles three branches
of a good business, his clerks, stem
ographer, etc, being in an adjoining
room. He never allows any work to
be placed before him during the day
that does not pertain to the particu-
lar branch on which he is at the time
engaged The desk at which he sits
indicates that, He devotes SO much
time to each desk enough to keep
the work clear. If you should hap
pen to visit him ON business he viii
Immediately shift seat to the desk at
which this particular business is
transacted
BY this method he can transact the
business of two clerks. Real estate
and insurance combined, OF some
thing else that way, impel men to
maintain a strict division in their
minds, and this artifce greatly aids
the habit of concentration of thought
on the matter in hand. New York

How to Sec Under water.

A lens for seeing under water is
described as producing an effect
which is both astonishing and de
iightful. It gives distinct vision to
objects from twenty to thirty feet
below the surface, and which are
usually out Of ordinary eye range.
The eyes loss of extended vision
when under water is owing to the
fact that an entirely different focus
is required. The spectacles which
can adjust this focus are made by
putting two watch crystals back to
back, or with the concavities out
ward. Try it and be surprised = s

4 Wandering Apparftions An IN white
visit the Scene At sIidnight.
One day in the winter Of 1873
the dreadful word reached the city
and spread over it like wildfre that
a Monon passenger had jumped the
rails Just north Of town and left In
Its track death and destruction
The story Of the awful, ghastly
procession, with its blanched faces,
as it came slowly into town on that
memorable afternoon, iswen remem-
bered and can never be forgotten.
THE sight of those wrecked cars,
smoking ruins, crippled people and
dead bodies on the hillside is fresh
hn the memory of all.
Since that fatal day quiet melan-
4.choly seems to have lowered over
the unfortunate spot. Even horses
and COWS shun it. Birds turn their
flight as they approach it. Only the
morbidly curious have ventured near
it.
One night leading physician Of
this city, who was present few mo
ments after the awful catastrophe
and was an eyewitness to the terrible.
heartrending scene, was called from
his warm bed to see Eick man who
resides not far from where the
wreck occurred. He told of his mid
night trip, which, if it did not turn
his raven locks white, gave him a
scare that he win never recover
from. He says that just as he ap-
preached the foot of the short hill
where the wreck occurred he heard
the distant rumbling Of an approach
ing train.
Checking his horse he waited, and
in moment the north bound Monon
passenger dashed by ON It's way to
Chicago. Before the bright lights of
the many windows had disappeared
and the distant ru1nbling Of the
wheels had died away, while the
long line of heavy, black smoke stiIl
lowered over the hin, a sight met his
gaze that almost paralyzed him with
fear.
With the greatest difficulty he held
his horse, wild with fright and
plunging and snorting to break away.
Before him, on the hillside, where
the fatal coaches had rolled down, he
saw two figures clothed in white
They would rise from the ground,
walk about and hold up their white
arms in suppiication.
II never continued the doctor,
believed in ghosts But there were
two right before my eyes. / didn't
feel that was exactly scared, but /
was possessed with o sensation that
is indescribable. 1t was an awful
moment. / can yet see those white
robed visions walking about on that
hillside. Ionly remained a moment,
but it seemed to me was there an
age My horse fairly flew up the
hill over the track and homeward
bound Idon't believe l could get
him near that spot again, even in
daylight. If you doubt what ] say
just go out there tonight at 80 and
I'll venture to say that you will wit
ness the same sight that l did"
Since the horrible wreck no less
than three accidents have occurred

in the Census Bureau. While there he had,
by order of Chief Engineer Gully, destroyed
hundreds of thousands of official envelopes
already addressed. He had also burned 900
or 600 feet of lumber, for which the bureau
had paid from S. so to Sc hundred. He
did not know whether or not Superintendent
Porter was cognizant of these matters, but
thought that he should have been. Super
intendent Porter had appointed to place
persons who were generally known about
the city as bad characters.
Miss Clara d. Boswell, "an old maid" as
she described herself, and a former employe
in the Census Bureau, testified that she had
been employed in punching the enumera-
tion slips The employees were told that
speed was needed, and not accuracy, and
they were driven like animals, many of
them tainting under the stress. The work
was consequently inaccurate, for the clerks,
being forced to make large records, would
not stop to correct the errors. Because of

The Tennessee Delegates Care Less for
Office Than They Do for tho Secretary.
CHICAGO, June 3.-[Specia. 8. 1-Several of
Tennessee's delegates at Minneapolis ar
rived at the Grand Pacific early this morn
ing. They were shouting for Blaine. The
six Harrison instructed delegates, they
said, had broked loose and gone over to
Blaine, with but two exceptions. In the
party, this morning, were H. B. Lindsay,
United States District Attorney from the
second district and alternate at large from
the State; Delegate J. F. Tarwater and
Delegate j. w. Connor All these are
Blaine men.
Lindsay, the oficeholder, was the most
enthusiastic of the lot. He said the ad-
ministration could have his place any time,
but he intended, he declared, to work for
j. G. Blaine. B. F. Mccarthy, who is also
an oficeholder. being superintendent of
letter carriers at Nashville, and who ac-
companied the party, declared that he was
for Blaine. Had the State convention
known that Blaine would have accepted"
said Mccarthy, "the delegates would have
been tied hand and foot with instructions
for him. By the time all the delegates get
to Chicago they will be for the Maine
man."

They Claim That Harrison Il ConstartIy
Gaining New Recruits.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 3-R. R. Shiel, of
indianapolis, delegate from the Indian
apolis district and one of the Harrison
leaders, had considerable to say tonight
about the situation from his point Of view.
He said:
We are now satisfied that we have major
ity of the National Committee and can con-
troll the temporary organization II we should
wish to do SO, which we do not. There are
number of delegates who have heretofore
been reported as against Harrison who have
come into our headquarters ana said they
wanted to help us. Attention has been paid
more to these, and we had not heretofore
paid any attention as to how the committee
stood. We drd not consider that cut much
figure with the main question. We are here
to nominate a candidate for the Presidency,
and have nothing to say as to the selection
OF Chairman or even Vice President. We
are getting not only the doubtful delegates,
or those so considered, but have had a num-
Der that were elected as delegates and sup
posed to be against Harrison come into our
headquarters and say they wanted to join
the Harrison forces.
