AN INQUISITIvE TIGER.
Had whole Express Car Him
self, with None to Dispute Him.

A Bengal tiger and lion, bought
for the "Zoo" in Central Park, New
York City were shipped on an ex-
press train Monday at Columbus,
Ohio. The animals were confined
in large wooden boxes, fortified by
iron bars, apparently of great
strength. Between Columbus and
Delaware, O., Express Messenger
G. K. Poore heard a growl behind
him. He turned from the work up
on which he was engaged at the
moment and saw two "glaring, burn.
ing, bright" eyes watching him from
the top of the tigers cage. Mr..
Poore did not make sny investiga-
tion. He knew what had happened
and he went out of the car like q
shot and banged the door behind
him. From that time until the train
reached Cleveland, the royal beast
disported himself in the express car
as royalty might. Feeling hungry
he broke open case of condensed
milk and breakfasted. After tha.
during much of the time he sat up
on the top OF the case and amused
himself and terrified the trainmen by
looking out of the car window. No
one ventured near him. At Cleve-
land the tiger was driven into his
case, a board was nailed over the
hole through which he had got out,
and he was reshipped to New York.

STEELToN, Pa, April 25, 1898.

STEELToN, Pa, April rs, 1898.
Like thunder clap from clear
sky, the startling intelligence was
hearlded about town on Friday
April %, that the Steelton Steel
Company and an affiliated Corpora
ton, the Maryland Steel Company
at Sparrows Point, Nd, had passed
into the hands of receivers, appoint
ed by Judge Pennypacker. Had
the heavens opened molten lead
passed from its realms greater ex-
citement could not have prevailed.
Sudden as it was, it was as quickly
calmed when the statement of May
Bent, President of the Company be-
came known to the superintendents,
their assistants and men in charge,
who quickly communicated their in
telligent and reliable information to
the men in charge. The men were
told that their would be no changes
in the work before them, and that
everything would be carried on as
actively as in the past years.
Large orders are awaiting the works
and steady, hard pull on the part
of the laborers will be the estima-
ton of the workers bringing tho
Company out of its present stringent
position, so far as finances are con-
cerned. 1t is remarkable that not
whimper of distrust was heard and
that the town that the Steel works
built and established, will CLEAN
with tie prosperity in the future
that has characterized it in the past
is unquestioned. Every laboring
man knows and feels he has a mis-
sion to perform, and that loyalty to
Steelton contributes to it the largest
part of the prosperity. Next to
this feeling is the protection to them.
selves, which can best be obtained
by earnest individual effort. InI
fact the embarrassment of the
management of the Company, had
no more evil influence, than the
failure of cheap green grocery
would have created.
Pay day will come and be met the
same as usual. Perfect confidence
rules and no crisis like what is pre-.
dicted in the outside world will be
entertained for moment in the
minds OF those who have been in
terested in the most practi-
cal way. No excitement pre-
walls in Steelton, everything is quiet
and the army of workmen are not
disturbed in the least. Over $780,
600 was paid out to the men on
Saturday. Every one of the 4.5o0
employees on the pay roll received
every dollar due him. There will be
no stoppage of the works. Every
thing will go on as usual. A slight
run was made on the bank by a few
weak kneed depositors, who laid
awake all night at their homes for
fear some one would rob them.
They had better left it in the bank.

w. c. IA. DEPARTMENT
The National Drink Peril.
CONDUCTED BY MEMBERS OF THE w. c. T.
SOCIETY OF LAPoRTE. PA.


The October number of the
Quarterly Revieac, of the United
Brethren in Christ, contains an able
article upon "Our National Perils,"
by Bishop Hott, of California, in
which he enumerates the drink evil
as conspicuous among these peris.
He declares that the drunkenness of
ourpeople has done much to debauch
our national life that it blasts every
thing it touches: just as it dis
graces the individual character and
life, just as it shames and wrecks
the home, so it despoils and wrecks
the State. The article arraigns the
distiller and and saloonist as closing
their eyes to the wreck of humanity
wrought by their business. 'sThis
business" it aflirms, "builds up an
immense capital from the poor
without giving in return a morsel of
real good to the millions of its
patrons. This money controls
legislation, defies law, insults God,
and promotes the murder of man
kind.' The writer comments with
force upon the corrupting influence
of the saloon and the drink traffic
upon State and National politics
and concludes with an appeal to the
Church of Christ, to the preacher of
the Gospel, and to the Sabbath and
secular school teacher, as "agents in
the hands of God for preserving our
nation from the perils which threat
en- its overthrow" He gives a
timely admonition that history re-
peats itself, that the wickedness of
nations becomes their weakness
and that righteousness exalteth a
nation, but sin is reproach to
any people,"

Members of the Gang Are Known and Are
not All Railroad rs.
OMAHA, Feb. 15.-The Bee says: The fact
that an organized yang of car thieves was
operating on their line is news to Union
Pacific officers. 1t will he remembered that
about six months ago the company arrested
a gang ''wo; king in the vicinity Of Grand
Island and secured several convictions.
The stealing then ceased. n for a few
months freight in transit was not disturbed.
Within the past six or eight weeks, how
ever, operations were again resumed and
thousands of dollars worth of property has
been stolen.
The greatest losses are reported in trans
continental freight and freight going over
the mountain routes to the far west. The
laxity of conductors in looking for broken
seals on freight car doors has been p~articu-
larly noticeable in the west.
The dispatch was shown a Union Pacific
official and he said: I'm the main the facts
are correct. Canada vent to Chicago for
the purpose of getting hold of some of the
men implicated. However. no Wholesale
arrest of conductors is to be made. Posi-
bly, investigation may implicate three or
four, but the remainder of the gang will be
ployes of the road. We have been missing
goods for some time past. but I cannot give
ANYTHING like the value of the stolen prop
erty. The coup was not intended to occur
until Friday next, but l presume that as the
papers have got hold of it it may as we'll be
given publicity now. Outsiders are doing
the great share OF the stealing and a vigor-
Gus prosecution will follow. l think we
know them all"
