People VINO rake oren.e Ea.ilr.

In this world there are q certain class
Of individuals who roam about with a
chip on their shoulders, daring others to
knock it off jus. for the luxury of in.
dulging in a first class quarrel. To the
gentle hammered, sweet dispositioned
ones this seems a very questionable sort
of enjoyment, yet to some wordy war
or a full fedged feud constitutes the
chief excitement of their lives.
These people always have a quarrel on
hand. If it isn't a family affair, then
outsiders must suffer. They are quick
to take offense, both in public and
private, and have no scruples about ex-
pressing themselves on paper when they
haven'ta chance to do so verbally. 1t is
this penchant for writing letters that
helps TO keep them continually in hot
water, as the black and white characters
are decided evidence against them even
after their anger has had time to cool.
Now, if there were any sense in this
sort Of conduct, there would be some ex-
cuse for it, but there isn't, and, more
over, it makes you doubly unhappy to be
always on the outs with some one. You
may pretend not to care, but you do just
the same, and though pride and temper
keep your spirits up for time in your
secret heart you wish you had not been
quite 50 ready to quarrel.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

General vallejo and Fremont.

When the destiny Of the province of
California hung in the balance, and Eng
land and Russia, as well as the United
States, eagerly held out hands for the
prize, General Vallejo unhesitatingly
gave his adherence to the stars and
stripes. Fremont doubted and impris-
oned him, but soon set him free.
One day during that imprisonment a
young American officer, doubtless a spy
sent by Fremont, rode up to the family
residence in SonOma, and Offering to
Mrs. Vallejo an English and an Ameri-
can flag asked in Spanish, "Senora,
which of these do you preferg'
The lady looked at him a moment as
if to read his purpose; then clasping the
American flag TO her bosom she kissed
its folds and said: This is the flag my
husband has taught me to love. 1t is
the one he wishes to see wave over his
beloved California"
The officer smiled and bowling grace
fully to all present took his departure.
A lady who stood watching the cour-
teous American as he rode away turned
to Mrs. Vallejo and said, mo es Oso'

Bad Manners In the Use of Words.

The laws of common courtesy hold in
the use of words as well as dishes. As
unconsciously as you turn the handle Of
the pitcher in passing it should you turn
the handle of your sentence and present
your thought right side up. You would
not toss the book you are asked for across
the floor and leave your brother to pick
it up. Why toss your answer in similar
hit or miss rudeness?
It is not rudeness of manner to which
l refer, but the rudeness of not making
your sentence at least neat. The most
admirable and affectionate of persons
will fill your ears with a thousand need
less words that do but conceal their
meaning, or make some noncommittal
reply which forces you to repeat your
question.
A very large part of the misunder-
standings in life, with all the sin and
sorrow resultant. is traceable to this
same carelessness, this stupidity, these
inexcusably bad manners, in the use of
words.-Charlotte p. Stetson in Kate
Fields Washington.

BALTIMORE'S ELEVATED RAILWAY.

It Has Been Completed and Now Cars Are
Being Run over the Steel Rails Every
Hour.
Baltimore's elevated road, says the
Baltimore News, is at last an accomp
lished fact Work has been pushed on
the Lake Roland Elevated Railway and
on Friday last the trial trip began The
track had been laid and tested between
Roland Park aud the corner of Twentieth
street and Oak avenue.
thorough trial was deemed advisable
before even the preliminary train service
was inaugurated. so at least two days Of
trial trips was decided upon. All day
Friday and Saturday cars went to and
fro over the Il" with perfect success
No accident of any kind occurred to dis
count the practicability of the plan.
To morrow an hourly service will be
begun. Trains will leave the Baltimore
terminus on the hour, and in returning
will leave Lake Roland on the half hour
IL is the intention of the company to
gradually increase the service by aug
menting the number of trains, adding a
train every two or three days up to May
l.
By this time it is confidently expected
that the tracks will be completed over
the entire structure, and will be laid
from the foot of the incline on North
street to the corner of Charles and Lex
ington street. The regular service, as it
will be maintained throughout the sum
mer, will then be inaugurated.
The structure is an evidence of the
advance in railroad engineering, having
none of the peculisrities that caused So
much dissatisfaction in the case of the
New York L, and whatever discomfort
may at first have been felt by the prop
erty owners along the line is entirely
overcome in the benefits which will now
plainly be derived from the road
The cars are operated by the Thomson
Houston system, which system has been
found to stand harder work and more
severe weather than any other. 1t has
served the West End road of Boston
through five severe New England win
ters, which test is conclusive enough Il
guarantee it successful workings il
Maryland
The seating capacity of the cars il
about the same as that of the Traction
cars The tracks are standard gauge
and steel rails are used throughout
Stations are built all along the line, a
every other block in the city, but a.
greater distances apart as the rOaG
reaches out into the country.

Connecticut Poet.

There is a movement in Connecticut to
erect a monument to the memory Of the
poet. James Gates Percival. He was
peculiar man and had all of the poets
idiosyncrasies. On one occasion he was
invited TO meet a number of gentlemen
in New Haven, who were in their turn
notified that they were to have the pleas
ure of meeting the poet. He was to be,
in fact, the honored guest Of the even
ing. They were all on hand, but Per-
cival did not put in an appearance. Al
lowance was made for his utter indiffer-
ence to the passing Of time, and up to
midnight he was expected.
AT last, as morning drew near, deem
ing it certain that the poet had forgot
ten the invitation, the guests went home
and the host put up the bars and went
to bed. At about o'clock in the morn
ing he heard some one at his front door,
went down. asked the object of the call
and found that it was Percival. The as
tonished host let the poet in, and the lat
ter blandly said that he had inferred
from what had been said that there were
to be others present. The host told him
that the others had all gone home. The
poet expressed regret and settled him
self down for a good smoke and talk,
which kept up, to his hosts embarrass-
ment, till the sun rose.-Boston Tran
script.

UNTIL DEATH DO US PART.
The Almost Tragioal story of wife's
Devotion.

The Almost IrAElchi story OF a mlleb
Devotion.
A sad story Of a devoted wife's at
tempted suicide because of the death Of
her husband, to whom she was much
attached was brought to the notice of
the police on Friday night.
Seven short months ago Otto Dessing
was married He was a thrifty young
fresco painter, who had lately come from
Germany, with steady employment and
promising future before him. The match
was one of the greatest devotion on both
sides, and fonder couple never started
on the way of married life.
Three months ago young Dessing con
tracted a severe cold which was lightly
regarded until the symptoms Of rapid
consumption developed. His wifes at
tention TO him during this time was
most unremitting, but no IN. dical skill
could thwart the ravages of the dread
disease Within the past six weeks
Dessing grew very weak, and was con
fined almost continuously to his bed
During her husbands illness his wife
was very despondent He saw her grief
and, conscious of his approaching end,
he tried to prepare her for the ordeal
Whenever such conversations passed
between them the young wife woulo
shed bitter tears, and al ways said
"when You die | shall die too
On Thursday Mr. Dessing sank into
cOmatose condition, but rallied during
the night His friends we're well aware
of his condition, but the young wife,
always Over-sanguine, was crazed
with grief when his death oc
Cured about o'clock on Friday
evening
When the sick man breathed his last
the dsconsolate widow was seized with a
paroxysm of grief, which was pitiful TO
behold She refused to leave the bed
of her dead husband. but lay with her
head on the pillow fondling the ice cold
cheeks of the dead.
About o'clock on Friday night Mrs
Dessing became suddenly very quiet,
and seemed to bear up better under hei
bereavement, but the friends about her
noticed her unnatural look and forced
composure, and hastily summoned a
physician. DR.. w. Gambal of No. l2e
Lee street, arrived in a few moments ano
administered an emetic
Mrs Dessing had drunk the content:
of an ounce phial Of chlorofoTm. After
a few moments she was relieved of the
drug and fell asleep. Yesterday she wa.
reported as still sleeping quietly anC
apparently much improved
