only Conductors Goodness Prevented N
Panic In II Street Car.
a big, broad shouldcred, handsome
man boarded IL Russell avenue car at
Wisconsin street and took u scat near
tho front door. Ho was perhaps 40 or
DO years of age, we'll dressed, and of
imposing appearance, but there wcro q
wild, startled look about his face and
an uueaslncss III his manner indicating
that something was wrong Tho car
had gone only Il short distance when he
began TIC pull ncrvously@away from the
corner, casting frightened chances over
his shoulder as Though no saw some
thing beside him.
Suddenly ho jumped up and rushed
to the door of the car, throwing his arms
wildly, as though beating off an assail-
ant, and falling over tho other passen-
gers i'll his haste to get out.
Shoot him Shoot himl" no shout
ed to the conductor.
Shoot him quick, or I'll have to pull
his head Oft can't stand this any
longer. He's after me! Shoot HIM
say, or I'll pull his head off"
The quick witted conductor, taking
in the situation at glance. pulled
him out on the back platform and slam
med tho door behind him. There.
he said, he can't get you now I'll
keep him in the car"
But the assurance did not satisfy tho
unfortunate man. He covered behind
the conductor and peered over his shout
der to watch his imaginary pursuer.
There ho comes! Throw him out!'
he shouted again. elinging to tho con-
ductor i'll abject terror.
You stay here, and Ill throw him
out the front door,, said the conductor,
to pacify him.
will you throw him over tho dash
board"
Yes"
And will the mules trample on
himG"
Yes"
And will the car run over him?"
Yes"
That's right-that will servo him
right-throw him over tho dashboard"
and he laughed i'll great glco over tho
project of getting rid of his adversary.
The conductor went into tho car and
PiStSHN''t ~ t'tlNc SOlllcDOQN out or the
far corner and push him out of the
front door. The mailman OH the rear
platform shouted his appreciation and
jumped upand down with Joy There
he goes, he screamed, push him
oyer-don't let him get away-push
him over-shoYo him under the cart
serves him right-hc can't get mo
now.'
Tho ladies in the car were thoroughly
frightened, and but for the GOODNESS of
the conductor there might have been Il
stampede.
He assured them that he would keep
tho man outside and get rid of him as
soon as possible, which quicted them
The lunatic made no further demon
stration beyond nervously watching the
inside of the car as though he feared
his foe would appear again, and when
the car reached Greenfield avenue he
said in a perfectly natural way: Here
is where live. I'll get off here" He
proved to DO south side gentleman
whose family is caring for him. He had
made his escape some hours before, and

Another story of Professor Jowott.
a student who had passed his greats
with some distinction had, as was his
wont, been taken up by the master and
asked to partake of his hospitality.
Tetc-a-tete, the master inquired: Well,
Mr.. what do you think of meta
physicist" oh" was the consequent
tial reply, my two years study has
convinced me that metaphysics are
humbug." Indeed, calmly observed
tho professor, then you are a very
lucky man, Mr.. -, for there arc some
who have studied metaphysics until
their SEVENTEEN or eightieth year and
have not made that discovery. Pail

The desire of the Hawaiian islands TO be
annexed to this country will bring about a
fresh discussion Of the policy of further
territorial extension Of the United States.
For fifteen years the United States has
admitted sugar practically free from
Hawaii. The Mckinley tariff of 1880
practically piseed sugar on the free list
and deprived these islands of their former
advantage In trade. and naturally made
them more anxious than formerly to place
themselves under the flag Of the United
States.
The chief desire for annexation, how
ever. il found In the fact that their late
monarchicai government OF Hawaii was
very weak. Its population was decreasing.
and its mercantile. property holding. civil
ICED classes believed that the best policy for
the islands would be To place them under
the protection Of great poweF with whom
they have always maintained friendly
relations.

annexation would naturally be entitled TO
great weight. The United States would
