willy nilIy. l hardly dare to soil this
page with the tale. but there was an
awful story that a boy, whom l will
call Charles Waters, unpinned his
black bow, and trod it in the mire Of
I he street.
But hasten to add that in that
Innocent community no one believed
this dread ii story. Indeed, it was
whispered rom one to another rather
as III index of what terrible stores
were atloat in the world than with
any feeling that it could possibly be
true.
cit is certainly a little queer that
ih after years one remembers such
tlitles as this, and forgets absolutely
The weightier matters OF the law; how
the angel Of vulgar fractions, and
compelled him to grant a blessing;
how in u word. one learned anything
of Importance.
But SO it is, and thus. as l have
said, l have no memory of any time
when I could not read as we'll as I
can now. Dear Miss Whitney must
have taught US we'll, or we. should
have remembered the process more

A Nice Place to Live.


Chicago, Dec. 2 .-The spirit of
"Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,"
was not universal in Chicago yesterday.
In the morgue lie the bodies Of two men
who have sought in another world the
peace they failed to find in this. In the
county hospital slowly gasping his life
away lies q man who ~endeavorcd to
enforce his argument with an ak and who
succumbed to a ball from the revolver
of his would-be victim. In another ward
of the same institution IS another man
bruised and battered so that Christmas
will be q vivid recollection for the rest
of his natural life, and behind the bars
of a prison cell is still another, a col
ored man, who, while seeking admission
to a church, confessed having commit
ted u murder in Paris, France, several
years ago. The church gave him up to
the authorities.
John r. Egan, an Englishman, was the
first of these enumerated. He went
broke on the races, anS with a bullet
he scattered his brains8 over his bed
room floor; and. r. W. Bsynson, a team
ster, celebrated Christina Eve by a
wholesale absorption of rEl liquor and
he ushered in the Christmas morning
by slashing his throat with a knife.
Anthony Lavelle was the third man.
He was splitting wood early this morn
ing and called Upon his stepson, Joseph
Ross, to get up and help. Ross made
no reply, and Lavelle invaded the bed
room with an ak. A fight followed and
Lavelle was fatally shot. Ross, who
claims to have acted in self-defense, was
6 arrested.
Stefan o. Albertine is the bruised
and battered man ut the county hospital.
Early this morning he saw two men in
the store of his employer and at once be-
gan to shoot, with the result of lodging
n bullet in the skull of Lieut.. Clarke,
Of the Pinkerton agency, and badly
frightening Waterman Dawson, of that
institution. When Albertine realized
that he was in the business of killing
Pinkerton men, he stopped firing. gave
up his pistol, and, as he says, was i'm
mediately hammered almost into inscn-
sibility by the men to whom he surren-
dered and by the police officers who
came in later. Both the police n the
Pinkcrtons say that Albertine was a
thief, and that he began shooting when
he was placed under arrest. They also
deny having beaten him, but he is in
the hospital for az of that. Alpini, the
employer of Alberfine, says that he is
not a thief and that he should nave killed
the Pinkerton men who forced their way
into q building where they had no right
to be. He also says that he will take
out warrants for he arrest of Lieut..
Clarke, whose injury is not serious, and
for Capt. Doley, of the Pinkertons.

THE WIND w
Blast. of Old Boreas.

Kansas City, Dec. 2G.-Kansas, Okla
homa and the Southwest generally are
experiencing a genuine Christmas biz
card to-day, which threatens not only
to block railroad travel, but also to do
great damage to stock on the ranges
south of Kansas and the Strip if it con-
tinucs for many hours. Last night a
drizzling rain began early in the even
ing, which continued almost to daylight,
when it gave way to a driving snow
storm, the wind having meantime
shifted around to the northeast and the
temperature growing many degrees cold
er. The snow kept up all day, and be-
fore night it had developed into a resu-
lar blizzard, coming straight from the
frozen region of the Northwest. Several
inches of snow fell and drifted badly.
Scattering reports from Kansas and the
Southwest generally show that the rail-
roads are in, trouble from the drifted
snow and the cuts on the prairie. and
that, as a rule, trains are many hours
late throughout this territory. One train
on the Kansas Central and one on the
Missouri Pacific are reported abandoned
and hardly any attempt is being made to
run trains on the roads west from Kan
sas City.

A Grave Young Gunner's Mate.

A Grave young mate.
A few weeks ago, while the United
States cruiser Philadelphia was en-
gagged in asham battle near Baltimore,
n cartridge exploded prematurely on
deck, severely injuring the officer in
charge, while nothing but the heroism
of a young %eunner's mate saved the
vessel and all on board from destruc-
ton. Down the iron chute leading to
the room where powder and cartridges
are kept fell pieces OF burning anvas
A single spark in contact with a grain
of powder might have touched off the
whole magazine and blown up the
ship. Everybody in the magazine
ran for the deck with the exception Of
this gunner's mate, a young man OF
twenty-five. With his feet and bare
hands he extinguisled the fire. and
when men arrived wi h water all dan
ger was over.
This young mans name is Harry
Ellers, and his home is Newark, New
Jersey. He had previously attracted
the notice of his superiors for his in
telligence and bravery, but for this
act the Secretary of the Navy has
promoted him from gunner's mate, at
a salary of Sl3 a month, to the rank
of gunner, with q salary of 1900 a
year, decorated him with a gold med
al, and complimented him for his
bravery. There are only thirty eight
gunners in the United States navy,
and the rank is usually earned only
after years of service. Young EIlers
entered the navy at the age OF four
teen, and completed his apprentice
ship only a year Ago..
