Don't Shoot.

The tiremen are much worried
because people will take time to fire
pistols and guns when a fire breaks
out, instead of turning in an alarm.
Last night the big two story house
was about consumed before they
got there. The fire had been burn.
ing sometime before any alarm was
turned in. Policemen try their

have hitherto failed. Do not take
time to get You gun, bat seek the

One of the members OF the regiment
told story of .'lIonest Captain Wood. :"
The incident occurred in very cold
weather, and at an important crisis
AT nighttime" said the narrator.
when we pickets' arrived at the out
posts Captain Wood said, 1t is too severe
for the men to face this storm all night.
There was a small house close by. and
the captain directed that we should build
fire in it and shelter ourselves as best
we might.
I'VE did so. and weary with march
ing and lulled by the warmth we all fell
fast asleep. When the officer of the
grand rounds came our way he found a
regular Sleepy Hollow.

the morning we were summoned 10 head
quarters. Naturally we were terribly
frightened, for sleeping on picket is
serious offense,

charge. Had we been guilty Of sleeping
on our posts? We had, 1t would have

gineers locating the line of the North
Pacific. He soon showed unusual ca
pacity, rose rapidly through all the
grades and was made general manager
of the Elmira, Cortland and Northern
road in New York. In 1885 he secured
the same position in the Reading system.
Soon after he was made vice president,
and ON June 27, 1890, on the retirement
Of President Corbin, became president.
In little while the country was star
tied by the announcement that the COM
pany had combined all the anthracite
coal interests and all the roads by which
the coal reached the cities; that this gi-
gantic corporation, combine" or ''trust'
therefore controlled some $500, ,000, 900 in
capital and 10000 employees, and that
the price of coal was to go mp according
ly. The legal battle which followed is
fresh in the public memory. The New
England and other railway combines
thwarted the Reading combine, and soon
it transpired that the latter's property
was in wretched condition. 1t fell
with great ruin, and the highest esti-
mate now places its value away below
s200, ,000,0 900. Monarchies of note have
fallen and caused less suffering.
Chief Justice Edward NJ. Paxson had
a salary of $500 year, and his term
would have continued till 1895. His res
ignat4on to accept the receivership shows,
therefore, how important this matter is
to his state and city. He was born Sept.
8, 1924, in Bucks county, Pa, was adj
mitted to the bar there in 1850 and lo-
Gated in Philadelphia soon after. In 1874
he was elected to the supreme bench of
the state for the full term of 81 years,
and in 1889 became chief justice by sen
iority for the 7-year term.

About the middle of the last century,
through the genius of Franklin, light
ming became identified with common or
frictional electricity, but the language
referring to this great natural force con-
timed to be the same as when men were
ignorant of its nature. They spoke, as
we still speak, of a thunderstorm, and
of thunder and lightning, and thus, as
in other cases, mistook, as we continue
to do, at least in our mode of speech, the
effect for the cause. Ii is commonly
said that the thunder turns to sourness
the milk and the beer; that there is
thunder in the air, and the singeing of a
tree by lightning twas due to the thun-
der last night, as its owner informed
me few weeks ago. Even Scott, in
The Heart of Midlothian" speaks of

peaks of Arran.'
Our gratitude is due to those gifted
men who have been able TO divest
natural phenomena of the ignorance
and superstition that formerly encum-
bered them, and so to bring them under

The story of the Reading railroad is

greatest of all railroad combinations

Mcleod, the most phenomenally sue
cessful OF railway operators. All at once
there was change more startling than
any Kaleidoscope can produce, and now
the combined railways are in the hands
of receivers, and there has been a fall
in the stock and a convulsion in Wall
street which in less healthful state of
the market might have produced panic.
Ex-senator Thomas G. Platt Of New
