 Railroad Train.

J onn J. MacGeorge went Insane on
 Railroad Train.
 STAMFORD, Feb. 19. John J. Mac George, the insane young man who was taken from New York train here last evening, was taken back to New York this afternoon by friend. MacGeorge, who is about twenty years of age, believes that President-elect Cleveland needs his services and he was locking for the president when arrested.
 When he boarded the train at N CIV York his talk and peculiar actions aroused the suspicion of the conductor and he tele- graphed to the authorities here to have an officer at the station when the train ar rived. When the train reached Stamford the young man was asked if he wanted to see Cleveland, and was induced to enter a hack.
 He was then driven to the police station and locked up. He bscame quite rational shortly after, and said that he was a mem Der of the Seventh regiment in New York and that his family resided on Fifty seventh street. They were communicated with and took the young man back to day. His insanity is thought to have been caused by excessive cigarette smoking.

KEEPING DOWN HIS CONCE1T

KEEPING DOWN HIS CONCEIT.
a Philosopher Who Finds 1t Necessary
to Go Away From Home.
There is a man in Detroit whose finan-
cial position is such that he can live in
comfort without doing other work than
clipping his coupons. He is a reflective
man, unknown outside the city of his
residence, and every once in a while,
without any apparent object, he leaves
home and stays away for a month or two.
The other day he returned from one of
these trips, and to a reporter for the Free
Press contided his reasons for going on
these periodical journeys. Said he:

of money look up to you. 1t is a growing
city, and money is needed to help it
along. As It's growth increases the value
of everybody else's property, of course
everybody has an ak to grind and is ready
to bend the knee to the man who can set
the grindstone in motion. He may be
close as the bark on a tree, but he has the
