which pulled into the Dublin street yard
about $50, and was to leave two cars of
coal on a siding. He climbed over to cut
off these cus, some fifty yards east of
Scovilrs ditch, and in some manner
slipped and fell under the wheels. The
first wheel of the truck passed over his
right thigh and he was then caught in the
brake-shoe and dragged along ON the rail,

were heard by Tom Hayes, fellow brake
man, who took him out from under the
truck. He was dead.
The body was taken to the freight house

The abdomen had been torn open and the
left leg cut off. The face was also terribly
mangled.

Artificial noses are now made of alu-
minimum, and they are SO perfectly shaped,
colored and adjusted as to defy detec-
ton. The aluminium is first covered
with some light cloth-muslin generally
and is then painted, and the color
of the skin is so closely adhered to that
it is impossible to tell which is the false
nose and which the true until you pull
it. The materials formerly used for this
purpose were vulcanite, wax, celluloid,
wood and porcelain, but for many rea-
sons aluminium is the superior of them
all, it being lighter as we'll as stronger.
Aluminium ears have become quite as
fashionable rs aluminium noses.
There are more of these false noses and
ears on the street than one would sup
pose until one deliberately looks into the
subject. Scores of people wear these de-
ceptive noses and ears, and so artistically
are they made that it is impossible to
tell the false with the naked eye. have
said that the best way to tell real nose
from the false member is to give it a
jerk. Yet must admit that if one were
to go about jerking the noses of friends
or strangers just to detect the false noses
life might he made decidedly unpleasant
for that one.-Chicago Tribune.

ing as to the girls condition. This morn
ing word was received from that city that

Rochester to accept position as type

week until October % when they ceased

time on Saturday night. Louie Paff gave
chase to him across Center bridge. When
about half way across the thief threw the
coat in the river, then finding Paff close
onto him and the bright buttons of an Of

over the rail and went down the twenty
odd feet into the river. The splash was
heard, but not a sign of coat or man could

The man may have escaped, but there are
many here who think that his body will

The revival of light kid gloves for
wear with walking dress is rather a blow
to the thrifty minded. Those who have
a limited dress allowance have delighted
in the convenient black kid or brown
suede, which could be worn quite a
number of times without showing signs
of being weatherbeaten in any way.
But light gray, pale lemon and the new
horrific green are soiled in an hour when
worn with sealskin, dark cloth or serge.
Fortunately four or six button length
does very well at present, but there are
some indications that in the season
sleeves will be short and gloves long. If
