Will Pullman Follow Suit?

All the trains on the District railway
will soon be provided with electric read
ing lamps, to be worked upon the "pen-
ny-in-t -the-slot" principle. Preparations
are so far advanced that the wiring Of
the carriages is nearly completed. About
$500 lamps will be required. They are
very ingeniously constructed. A penny
dropped into the box will set small
clock in motion for half an hour, during
which time the current will be switched
on, and the lamp will throw its concen-
trated rays direct upon the book or news
paper of the passenger who pays for it
and nobody else. Should any mischiev-
Gus person tamper with the apparat us an
electric warning will be sounded in the
guards van. Each lamp will be Of 20
candle power, and there will be four in
each compartment. The current is de-
rived from battery, which will supply
four lamps. No date can be assigned for
the commencement of this special sys-
tenn of illumination, but it is probable
that it will be inaugurated some time
this month.-London Telegraph.

he succeeds IN collecting 1,000, 900 can
celed postage stamps.
The other day young Ullrich received
by express bag weighing 100 pounds,
filled with Cancelled postage stamps and
bits of paper torn from the envelopes.
They had been sent by Miss Alice Smith,
a clerk in the employ of Hibbard, Spen-
Ger, Bartlett & Co. Miss Smith had seen
an advertisement of the boys purpose in
a newspaper, and she wrote him TO in
quire as 10 the truth in the case. The
reply she received was satisfactory, and
she began collecting stamps. The large
bag received the other day by the boy
came from her. Miss Smith gets all the
envelopes from the heavy mail received
by the firm. Yesterday afternoon she
was tearing stamps off of envelopes, of
which she had a large number. While
doing this work she explained how she
had become interested in the boys case
and had resolved to help him.
'It's not so much work. and it will
benefit him." she said. SIT didn't take
very long to collect those that l sent
him, and may send some more. Chi.

HOW HE WAS CURED.
A Highly Dramatic Episode That Led q
Drunkard to Swear OF.

A Highly Dramatic Episode That Led q
Drunkard to Swear OF.
Not long ago prominent Main street
merchant was a confirmed drunkard.
He loved liquor so madly that he was a
misery TO himself and every one about
him, especially to his young and hand
some wife. One night recently he de-
cided to commit suicide. He told his
wife about it, and she was so miserable
that she said if he was to end his exist
ence she wanted to die too. The man
proceeded to drugstore in the western
part Of the city, near his residence, and
purchased 90 cents worth of chloral. He
returned home and divided the poison
equally, and while they were in the no
tion each swallowed the drug.
The young wife walked TO the bed like
a brave woman or coward, as you please,
and laid herself down to die. 1t was
different with the husband. As soon as
the poison had been taken he began to
regret the step. In few minutes he be.
came frantic and rushed off TO the drug
store where he had procured the chloral
and told the druggist the situation. He
was relieved, with some trouble, of the
poison, but they had hard time in say
ing the wife. She finally recovered, how.
ever, and they get along happily together
now, as the experience caused the man
to stop drinking. This is a true story
Only three persons in Louisville know
the details, and all were sworn to secre
cy the night it all happened.-Louisville

THE LONDON cAReY.
Dramatic Little Incidents Connected With
the Reception of His Exact Fare.


the Reception of His Exact Fare.
Every body who has lived in London
has witnessed the dramatic little Incl
dents connected with cabby's reception
Of his exact fare. His hirer, having
alighted, stands on the pavement and
feels for his purse. Cabby meanwhile
leans over the railing of his seat with
benignant and ingratiating smile. That
smile, it may be stated at once, is a
fraud. 1t is not a genuine beam Of good
nature, but is one of cabby's business
'props." 1t is a smile of much mean
ing, and cabby throws his whole soul
into it. 1t is trusting and confident. 1t
insinuates that cabby feels that he has
met in you a man In whom he recog-
nizes peculiarly generous nature. 1t
means that cabby has no anxiety. He
knows that you are going TO give him
something for himself.
But as matter of fact, if you watch
cabby closely, you will see the hollow
ness of its professions. Cabby's eyes are
very wide open, and he is scanning
great deal more carefully than his fare
the little pile of silver that gentleman is
turning over in his hand. Then he
stretches down his hand. broad and fat,
but trustingly, assured that he is about
to be treated as man should be. The
fat palm ascends again, but as his fare
turns to depart, the smile dies away.
For a moment. as if dazed, he gazes
blankly into his hand; then a look of
mingled contempt and Indignation passes
over his expressive face. He turns fierce
ly on his prey.
"Ere, wot's this?"
"Your fare" floats back to him.
"My farer' in tone of scathing scorn
Tiny farer'
Then rapidly and with businesslike
manner, as if the time for emotion were
| passed now:
"'Ere, old ard; wants another tan
ner."
BY this time his fare, if he knows any
thing at all about cabmen, is well under
way. Cabby, standing up, dashes the
offending shilling on the ground with a
gesture of ineffable loathing, as at some
unclean thing. No good. His fare is
disappearing, unconcerned, and cabby,
convinced that the game is up, but loath
to relinquish his Indignation, slowly un-
swathes himself from the folds of his
voluminous blanket, descends as slowly,
picks up the innocent shilling still more
slowly, mounts again, gathers up his
reins with one final blighting look be-
hind him and drives away, his face that
Of man who never till that moment
had sounded the hideous depths of sor-
did human nature.-London Sketch.

Stole the Girls Skirts.

The young ladies at Washburn college
have class in gymnastics and are re-

ing long skirt to conceal their cos.
tunes while going to and from the gym
nasium. Last week while they were go
ing through their exercises one of the
boys at the college removed their skirts
from the dressing room, and it was some
time before they could get back to their
rooms without running the gantlet of
the male students. The facts were re-
ported to the faculty, and upon investi-
cation the student was found who was
responsible for the caper, and it was de-
cided to expel him.-Topeka Dispatch.

last month sentenced in st. Loujs to 99
years imprisonment in the Missouri pen
itentiary at Jefferson City. He is other
wise known as Bart Mcclure and has
given much trouble to the police in all

allowed to grow rusty upon the statute
books and had been almost forgotten.

conviction, of not less than 10 wears nor
more than SO. Moore is 46 years old and

Laughed Herself to Death.

Bertha Pruett, aged 90 years, laughed
herself to death the other night. She
was entertaining a number of friends,
one of whom, young man, is noted as a
wit. One of his remarks threw Miss
Pruett into a violent fit of laughing,
which lasted some minutes, when it sud-
denly changed to cry of pain, and she
fell to the floor. Blood gushed from her
nose and mouth, and medical assistance
was summoned, but before anything
could be done to relieve the young girl
she was dead. The young man who
cracked the fatal joke is Frustrated with
grief.-Philadelphia Dispatch.

NAVAL STORES MEN MEET.
Their Action in Regard to Charges of
False Packed Rosin.

The article in yesterdays MORNING
News causcdssome little stir among the
naval stores men on the Bay, and yester-
day afternoon a meeting of the naval
stores trade was called at the board of
trade rooms to take some action.
Nothing but the final action of the
meeting was given out for publication.
Capt. D. G. Purse, president of the board
of trade, was unanimously chosen chair
man of the meeting, and Mr. G. Wallace
Howard, secretary. The meeting was
lengthy one, and after considerable dis
cussion a resolution offered by Mr.. John
r. Young was adopted, declaring that the
facts, as they exist in the trade, do not
Justify the charges made by number of
buyers,
Almost throughout the meeting the
buyers were opposed to the factors on one
point The buyers wanted to state In the
resolution that while such practices as
were referred to had existed, they were
not exaggerated. The action on Mr.
Young's resolution was finally unanimous.
While nothing was said for publication
about investigating the charges which
had been made, there is no doubt that
the matter will be taken up at once, and
where the evil exists it will be corrected.
Just what course will be taken, how
ever is not known. An effort will, no doubt
be made to have a thorough inspection
of all rosin made before it leaves the port,
so that in future there can be no doubt of
the quality of the product of which a car
go consists, and SO that all barrels which
are not up to the standard can be billed
back to those from whom they are
