A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
A Conductor Falls Under an Elec-
trio Car and Is Not Hurt.

trio Car and Is Not Hurt.
On last Monday night, about 9
o'clock, conductor of the San An
tonic Street Railway company,
whose name could not be learned,
nor could the reporter ascertain
the number of his car, had mar
velous escape from being crushed
beneath the wheels of moving
electric ear. He is said to be prob
ably the biggest man on the line,
and is apparently a German.
His car was coming from San
Pedro Springs, and the accident
occurred just west of Navarro
street, where the Alamo Electric
line crosses. He was in the
act of collecting fares, when
the trolley pole became de-
tached from the wire. He made
an effort to replace the pole by
grabbing for the rope, in which he
missed his aim and fell to the
ground. At the time, car was
coming from Alamo plaza and GO
ing towards SOledad street, and he
fell under the latter car, having
been between the two cars.
AS rule, all cars slacken their
speed on street crossings, and stop
at railroad crossings. This is what
fortunately saved him from being
mashed to a pulp. There were a
thousand chances to one in which
he might have been killed, but the
one chance was in his favor that
time.
He is not hurt and is out again
discharging his duties.

He Is Well Treated.
 In Islington, a district of London they have a committee of guardians Of the poor who are more than humane. They add so much to the many attrac' tions of workhouse life that the fortune of pauper who is lucky enough tc gain admittance will need celebratory verses. In fact, says the Washington Evening News, they are fast making of the institution a club, the only qualification for admittance being a lack of those things which the estab' lishment affords of its bounty.
 All of the old women who do not take snuff are allowed some other luxury, and any man who does not smoke is provided, if desired, with any newspaper or periodical he may choose at cost not exceeding three pence week. But censorship is to be maintained. Every newspaper of questionable principles or lacking a severe moral tone will be excluded. All sporting intelligence is to be 'blacked out" after the manner of the St. Petersburg authorities, the object being to prevent the betting of tobaco, butter and other such articles on the result of the ascot or the derby.
 Any man who is troubled over the possibility of becoming needy in his old age will now know where to apply. The ''Islington Club" however, is very crowded, and there is long waiting list.

Origin of a Famous Hymn,

It is we'll known that the hymn Hold the Fort" was inspired by the story of the signals exchanged by Gems. Sherman and Corse when the latter was besieged at Allatoona, Ca, but few know how the idea was brought to MT. Moody's mind. The Boston Globe says that once when Gen. and Mrs. Corse lived in Chicago Mir. Moody called. While there he took up book that told the story of that famous conflict in which Corse had been so badly wounded, and, see ing the message from Gen. sherman, Hold the fort! for am comingr' ex- claimed, enthusiastically: What a magnificent motto that would be for a marching song for the army of Christi" And the day after the famous hymn was written, beginning with Hold the fort, for I am coming, Jesus sig nals still" hymn that has been sung in almost every hamlet on the con- tinent and whose strains across the ocean have become familiar to the ears of men who never heard of Gen. Corse or the beleaguercd men at Allatoona.

The Gossoon, a cut ter owned by the Adams boys, won all the races in her class in 1890, and in a previous year these same yachtmen misspelled word for the sake of gain ing the lucky combination, and called a boat the Babboon.

There is a historic spot on w. J. Aock's place near Waycross. According Dtradition, there lived family named olds on that place during period of aFly settlements of that part of the aate. There were but few settlers in 1at section then. The Indians were 'lnerOus, and more than once the 0nahawks were used against the hhes, says the Savannah News.

The Discovery Made by Philadelphia Man Who Tried to Make Beer.

The Discovery Made by a Philadelphia
 Man Who Tried to Make Beer.
 Anybody can make beer" said John Logan, a shrewd Philadelphian. All you have to do is to get barrel and put the stuff in and let it work" So he got an empty barrel and recipe for making beer. He threw in whole lot of hops, three bucketfuls of yeast, five pounds of sugar half a bushel of finely ground barley and corn meal. Then he filled up the barrel with boil ing water, closed the bunghole tight and left the beer to work. 1t worked, says the Brewers Review. Logan and his wife and children were sitting at supper, cat was purring near the kitchen stove, a dog was snoring in the corner. Suddenly the house shook, there was 2 rumbling of thunder, a crashing of glass, the bowling of a dog and the wailing of eat; rain of some sort, then all was still. The family rushed to the kitchen. There lay pieces of slaves and barrel heads scat tered all over the place, from the cell ing and the walls there was dripping and oozing slimy liquid, and the frag- ments of crockery and glassware were strewn over the floor. Under the table lay a dead dog; the cat had disap- peared. Next door to Logan's house was china store. The show cases were broken and the chinaware smashed. The owner of the store de- manded one hundred dollars to cover his loss. Two days before the experiment Logan refused an offer of one hundred dollars for the dog.

PAINTING OF GLADSTONE

 brary at Hawarden.


 Mcclure Hamilton, who has been so successful in catching the grand old man on canvas, has just completed a new portrait of him especially for ex. bbtion at the worlds fair. It repre- ,ents the premier seated in his library. absorbed in book. Mir. Gladstone is not worshiper of books for the sake of their outer adornments. He even occasionally sells extremely rare and costly editions for which he has no special use. In all money matters. indeed, he is thrifty, orderly Scots nan. He has never been rich, though his affairs have greatly improved since the time when, in his first premiership. he had to sell his very valuable collec- tion of china. His library is not what ean be called select or really first rate collection. It comprises an undue proporIIOu or theological literature, of which he is large and not Overdis- eliminating buyer. It is doubtful, in- deed, whether there is any larger public book buyer in England. All the book sellers send him their catalogues. es- pecially those of rare and curious books. There are many of these lists with brief order in Mr. Gladstone's own handwriting on the fly leaf, with bis check opposite twenty or thirty 7oumes which he desires to buy. These usually range round classical works archaeology, special periods of English history, and, above all, works rconciling the Biblical record with silence. of late Mir. Gladstone has built an octagonal iron house in Ha- warden village, mile and half from he castle, for the storage of his socially valuable books and a collec- l0n of private papers which traverse lgool many state secrets of the great ar, of the century. The importance t these is great, and the chances are nat before Mir. Gladstone dies they rll all be grouped and indexed in his -7-.-ht, little grabbed, but perfectly 5a.a handwriting.

 Besides this great system the following canals with underlying territory must be consdered The Highland canal 20 miles, 900 acres the Mesa canal 10 miles, 2o GOO acres the Utah. 10 miles, acres the Tempe 15 miles, 3OOOO
 The entire region about Mesa derives its life from these systems which are also contributoy in the highest de- gree to the agricultural prosperity of the country around Tempe
 There is rapidly spreading belief that that part of the valley in which these two ourshng located is the garden spot of Arizona and developments justify the growing belief.
 Its not improper in this connection describe briefly the grounds upon which this belief is based and the natural reasons why it is so
 The country about Mesa will probably within the next ten years enjoy the widely circulated distinction of being the most productive fru-growng region in the United States as it now known to be the chief fruit belt of the valley
 It differs sufficiently in altitude from the rest of the valley to insure semropcal fruits against danger from frost always imminent in the favored regions of Cali fornia.
 The altitude is S1 6 feet higher than Tempe and 172 feet above Phenx rendering somewhat cooler than either place in summer and slightly warmer in winter.
