minutes. All of them arrived
safely.
Here's the way the Norfolk &
Western Railroad treats it's pas
sengers: A couple of weeks ago
a passenger train on the N. & w.
pulled intoShenandoah Junction.
Neither conductor or brakeman,
we understand, made his appear
ance to assist passengers off and
on. The train started off before
half its work was done. A gen
tleman from Shepherdstown as
sisting his aged mother from the
train had to jump with her from
the steps while it was moving.
A woman who had been wait
ing at the Junction for that train
for six hours was not given time
to get on and had to wait six
hours longer. Two ladies who
were passengers on the train, in,
tending to get off at the juno
ton, were unable to do so, al
though promptly on the plat
form. The train moved off so
quickly and so fast they could
not leave it. They were carried
a mile beyond the station, when
the conductor stopped the train
and told them to get off. Pro-
testing against being put out in
the pouring rain, the conductor
laughed at them insultingly and
told them that was what they
would have to do. The ladies
had to get back to the station as
best they could, through rain
and mud, and were thoroughly
exhausted blythe rough treatment
they received. Shepherdstown

Arkansas.

The Little Rock Gazette has got every
body mixed up by bringing forward a
new pronunciation of the name Arkan-
sas. No one but Englishmen or Bosto-
mans pronounce the word as it is spelled.
1t was understood that tie legislature of
the state some years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
comes The Gazette, however, with a
poem entitled MY Happy Little Home
In Arkansas" in which the final syllable
of Arkansas is made to rhyme first with
''fiow" and then with "below." This
indicates that the native pronunciation
of the name is not Arkansaw but Arkan-
SOW, and we are at sea again. The Ar
kansawyers or the Arkansowers should
settle this matter once for all. 1t is be-
coming puzzling and annoying. Per
haps Mr.. Opie Read, the Arkansaw
Traveller, could put an end to the dis
pute.-Chicago Herald.

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
q boy, he was very desirous Of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him. however, and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong TO mothers in
general. found that if the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale. the
keynote and how TO find it, and the time
Of the notes.
This was only ''book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon species of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as he
expressed it, ''soon began almost to sing
with u.s."
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that bore no meaning they finally
learned TO sing airs they did not know
out of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had found
out the way.-Youth's Companion.

CATS CAUSE DIVORCE.
An Accumulation of Felines Separate a
Couple Married Forty Years.

An Accumulation of Felines Separate a
Couple Married Forty Years.
Cats and clairvoyance are the reasons
given by Simon Fritz of 46 Goffe street,
: New Haven, for separating from his
wife The couple were married in Iowa
about 40 years ago. Ten years ago Mrs.
Fritz developed mania for CATS She
gathered in and cared for every stray fe-
line she could find. Mr.. Fritz tried to
escape from them by moving to this city,
but she brought crate of cats with the
furniture.
Mr.. Fritz is woodworker. He set up
a repairing shop on Winter street, and
they lived in the building until the con-
stantly increasingpumber of cats around
the house caused the neighbors to COM
plain, and they moved to Goffe street.
Mr.. Fitz also has some inventions he is
trying to perfect, but the nightly uproar
by the cats seldom allowed him to get a
nights rest, and he was unable to work
effectively.
Then Mrs. Fritz became a trance me-
dunn. and, her husband says, neglected
her household work to delve into the
mysteries of the past, present and future.
She attracted attention by asserting that
Anna Orr, then missing from Bridge
port, was dead in well. The girls body
has since been found in we'll in Fair
field.
Mr. Fritz could stand the fortune tell
ing, but he couldn't stand the cats, and
he finally declared that his wifes pets
must all go. Mrs. Fritz demurred, but
her husband was firm. The cats went,
and so did the woman. Now Mr.. Fritz
declares he will apply for DIVORCE

euduenIy lost his speech anu nearing.
and after being treated by local physi-
clans it was decided that he would be
permanently deaf and dumb. although
no functional trouble could be discov-
cred and the organs were apparently
perfect. Within few weeks, however,
( his speech and hearing returned as sud-
denly as they had been lost.
Two weeks ago he again became deaf
ind dumb. A closer examination than
previously made showed no abnormal
condition of the organs. Every, test
known to the profession was made, but
not the slightest defect could be discov-
cred. However, nothing could induce
the lad to speak, and all noises, however
sudden and unexpected, failed to attract
his attention. A pistol fired close to his
head did not startle him, and he appear
ed unconscious of everything around
him unless il fell undeS his sight. When
his attention was apparently engrosaed
by the pictures hanging from the walls,
one of the physicians suddenly jumped
to his side and shouted his name in stem
torian tones, but he gave no evidence Of
hearing, and when objects were pointed
out and questions asked he made no re-
sponse.
A thorough examination was made for
organic trouble, after which the physi-
clans were forced to the conclusion that
it was case of complete suspension Of
the faculties of the mind, so far as sound
and speech were concerned. TheN be-
heve that the lad can both hear and
speak, but that sound fails to make any
impression ON his mind; that a pistol
shot, voice or any other sound is con-
veyed to his mind the same as in other
persons, but that the mind has tempo
rarily lost the power to distinguish be-
tween sounds, and therefore no impress
sion is made upon it. Loss of voice,
they further say, is but an incident to the
loss of power of identity of sound. In
all other respects the child is perfectly
well. No treatment has been attempted.
The physicians are inclined to believe
that speech and hearing may return, like
they did one year ago, as suddenly as
they were lost.-Indianapolis Cor. Gin
