She Tool. the oirnrett..


When a belt line car was coming down
Virginia street yesterday afternoon, a sol
4 emn looking young man was the sole occu-
/ pant Of the rear seat. Just as the Seventy
\ fourth armory was reached two beautiful
/ young women sigualed the car and walked
out into the roadway. One was a tall blond
with brilliant blue eyes and golden hair,
and the other brunette Of magnificent fig
ure. Both wore fluffy white dresses, and
both were exceedingly fair to look upon.
Every seat in front Of the one which the sol
emn young man occupied in solitary state
was crowded.
well, Lii" said the blond, 81 guess
we've got to get in here"
''That's the smokers seat, replied Lii
sThere isn't any other" contended the
blond.
4 don't like to get in where men smoke"
said the brunette, pouting.
Hurry up, ladies, if you want this CARP
broke in the conductor, and the two women
climbed aboard.
The solemn young man looked them over
with.a great show of interest. He had just
lighted a cigarette but out Of Difference to
his seatmates he threw it away.
The blond giggled Seems kind Of
queer to be riding in the smokers seat,
don't itm she asked.
II don't think it's queer" replied the
brunette.
Il mean it seems as if we ought to be
smoking"
The solemn young man looked up Then
be dove down into his coat pocket, fshed
out new package Of cigarettes; broke the
stamp and handed it politely to the blond
She shrunk back as If frightened. Not so
with the brunette. She reached over, took
the cigarettes, put them ia her handbag,
smiled a smile that was so bright It shamed
the sunlight and said; "Oh, thank you'll

A Question For 1nformntion.

A clergyman in Scotland desired his hear.
ers never to call one another liars, but
when any one said the thing that was not
true they ought to whistle, One Sunday
he preached a sermon ON the miracle Of the
loaves and fishes, and being at loss how
to explain it he said the loaves were not
like those nowadays; they were as big as
some of the hills in Scotland He had
scarcely pronounced the words when he
heard loud whistle.
"Wha is that" says he, ''ca's me a liar2n

The Crowd Eel. Hurt.

One day when the expectation Of gold
was at rs height and the papers Of the land
We're filed each day with the recorded
Hight Of eagles abroad, y a large two horse
truck drew up before the subtreasurv in
! Wall street.
backing up to the curb, number Of ordi-
nary laborers began carelessly to unload "A
quantity Of reddish brown metal slabs with
which the vehicle was burdened. Iamedi-
ately crowd gathered and watched the
progress Of the metal from the truck up the
alleyway which separates the subtreasury
from the United States assay Office.
See those ingots Of goldfH remarked a
down town merchant to a friend in passing
"Ihe bullion must be coming our way,n
said the other and the two men paused
with the crowd to watch the laborers at
their work. Others joined the throng, and
many were the comments regarding the in
tegrity Of humble workmen and the pros
pective value Of the load. It was consider
able, aud one statistician estimated that
there was at least sl,000,000 worth Of metal
openly displayed on the street
In no other country" said he could
such thing be done. In England and the
countries Of continental Europe. a regiment
Of soldiers would be ordered out to protecf
SO great value
The crowd listened to him spelIbound
and invariably thanked God that they were
born in a free country and where there was
no show Of authority-all except a police
man, who, walking up to the throng which
by that time must havenumbered 100, said,
Come, now, move along Don't block
the way. Did you never see men working
before2"
The crowd moved away slowly. Those
who passed by the front Of the truck no
ticed the words painted on the dashboard.
Furnace Supplies All eloquence had
been wasted. The metal was not gold, but
a substance for new lining in the furnace

..Denf na an Adder. ;.

The expression, deaf as an adder" is
from the Psalms Of David, where it appears
In the following form
Their poison is like the poison of SER
pents. They are like the deaf adder that
stoppeth her ear, which willnot hearken to
the voice Of eharmers, charming ever so
wisely"
Bruce Wakeman, Stirling and other East
Indian travellers tell us that there is
widely prevailing supposition in the east to
the effect that both the viper and the asp
stop their ears, when the charmer is utter
ing his incantations or playing his music
by turning one eur to the ground and twist
ing the point of the tail into the other.-St.

ALTON, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-One Of the most
frightful accidents that ever occurred in or
near this city happened at o'clock yester-
day morning at Alton Junction, four miles
from here on the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Columbus and st. Louis railroad.
The Southwestern limited train from st.
Louis was 10 minutes late and came in to
Wann, the station at the Junction, at tho
rate of 40 miles an hour and ran into an
open switch, crashing into train of freight
cars containing number of oil tanks.
Two of the oil tanks were split open and
the oil caught fire, spreading to the other
tank, box and fiat cars, and the entire
train burned, The passenger engineer, W.
b. Ross, remained on his engine to put on
his air brake and was killed. He lived at
Nation, Ill. Fireman Whiteman escaped
by jumping. The engine and the combina-
ton baggage car and smoker, were dam
aged and eight oil tanks, eight box cars and
six fiat cars were rapidly destroyed by the
fire. Loss will probably reach 500, 900.

TERRIFIC WORK OF TWO DYNAMlT {
BOMBS IN ROME.
Attempt to Wreck a Hotel and tho Pro-

Total Loss No Fatalities,

ROME, Jan. 22.-Dynamite bombs OK
ploded almost simultaneously to-day before
Hotel De Angleterre and In the garden Of
the proprietor's house in the Via San
Claudio.
The hotel was partly wrecked. Beams
were sprung from the walls and the floors
of several rooms sagged two or three feet
before tho occupants could run out. Every
window and every piece OF crockery was
smashed. The front wall was cracked in
three places to the second floor and at
the door a large hole was torn out.
Nobody was injured although the hotel had
moro than 100 dodgers. The people ran in
to the street without waiting to take money
or jewery. The explosion attracted a
large crowd. At first the front wall was
expected to fall, but the commissary an
nounccd that there was no immediate dan
ger and the dodgers returned to pack their
trunks.
All the dodgers afterwards left for other
hetels. The proprietor said that the hotel
and contents were almost total loss. Not
a whole piece of furniture WAS left in the
building. Walls of houses near the hotel
were cracked aud all the windows were
broken.
The propretor's house in the Via San
Claudio was less damaged. All windows
were smashed for 100 yards on every side.
Besides the breakage of glassware, crockery
and furniture, little harm was done. No
body was Injured.
After the explosion the report went
abroad that the anarchists were again ut
work. Tho proprietor Of the Hotel DAN
glstterre, however, is convinced that both
explosions were caused by a man whom he
discharged recently from his service.
