THREE GIRL TRAMPS.
Without Means They Started Out to Bea
Their Way to California.

Without Means They Started Out to Beat
Their Way to California.
1t appears that a number of women
have taken to the road as tramps and
are travelling toward California. They
are said to be honest women who are in
search of employment. There are three
of them who are said to be headed for
Sacramento, having travelled together
from Portland. They were without
means, and starvation stared them in
the face if they remained in the Oregon
metropolis during the winter. 1t was a
decidedly bold thing for women to do,
but these three maidens determined TO
get to California in regulation tramp
fashion.
Accordingly they sailed forth and
climbed to the top Of the first freight
train they came TO, and seating them
selves on the edge Of a box car they al
lowed their feet to dangle along the side
and waited for the locomotive to roll
away. 1t is said that brakeman who
was running over the top of the train
was so paralyzed with astonishment
when he saw the petticoated tourists
that he almost fell overheard.
Where are you going, my pretty
maidss" he politely asked and gallantly
Lifted his hat.
The girls told him plainly that they
were going to California; that they had
no money to pay their fare, and that they
did not propose to be put off the train.
None of the train crew interfered with
the women. At various stations the girls
went about and begged food. At one

Christened In the Ferris Wheel.

One of the last occurrences on the Fer
ris wheel was the christening of two chill
dren of Mr.. G.. r. Rhodes of Chicago on
the last day of the fair. 1t was done
without the knowledge of the company,
which steadfastly protested against such
notoriety. The mother carried a chris
tening bowl wrapped in paper and her
2-year-old boy. Ayoung woman took up
bottle of water in a shopping bag and
bore the 3-month-old girl in her arms,
and the officiating reverend gentleman,
DR.. D. f. Fox of Chicago, for once dis
creetly concealed his Bible in his over
coat pocket. Thus they passed the un-
suspecting guard. The small boy was
christened Harold Wheeler Rhodes as the
car reached the top on her first trip. The
name of Ferris Rhodes was bestowed
upon the girl as the wheel reached the
turn on the second trip.-Chicago Letter.

A Fatal Scare.

Sunday, while a young man, aged II,
and his mother, named Peters, residing
10 miles east of Macon, were on their
way to church, they overlook Miss Mag
gle Pierce, aged 16, who was also going
to church. When Miss Pierce heard
them coming, she stepped to one side of
the road. AS Peters and his mother
passed she jumped out to scare them.
Young Peters drew his revolver and
fired at the young woman. The ball
took effect in her head on the side of her
nose. Her wound is considered fatal
The boy asserted that he fired before he
knew who Miss Pierce was. - Macon

An Egg For a Stamp.

A little child walked into the postof-

1t Hsped to the mail dispenser that it
wanted a stamp and would give the egg
in payment. This led to an investiga-
ton, and the child's mother, Mrs. c. E.
Edwards, was found to be in destitute
condition. She had no money and had
sent the child with the egg to the post
Office for a stamp, intending to notify
Mount Carmel friends of her want. The

& Funeral Tax In Paris.

Paris is threatened with a deficit in
her budget, and the municipal council
proposes to provide for it by an increas-
ed tax on funerals. Undertakers are
public officers in France, and fees are
fixed by law. The lowest price of grave
of two square meters is $40. An addi-
tional meter costs 5000. The council
proposes to make the minimum charge
500 for two meters.

October Strawberries, White Blackbirds
and Albinos In the Nutmeg State.
This has been the latest, warmest, most
blooming autumn for many years in this
state. There had been no severe frosts
until this week, and the orchards were
fragrant with unreasonable blossoms on
peach, pear, apple and plum trees, and
the fields bright with dandelions, violets
and other wild flowers. There were also
strawberry and raspberry blossoms, and
a farmer of a neighboring rural town
picked luscious ripe strawberries and
raspberries in his garden a day or two
ago. More wonderful still, Norwich
gardener, Charles H. Miner, got mess
of fine green corn in his garden on Oct.
81. 1t was the latest green corn proba-
bly, in the whole record of the Nutmeg
State. On the same day Engineer Henry
J. Adams of the Norwich and Worcester
railroad picked a bouquet of wild roses
and buds by the roadside in Greeneville,
in the outskirts of Norwich.
A great number of albinos have been
shot by hunters in this county this fall.
There were several pure white black
birds and crows, a white robin and two
albino red squirrels. A milk white robin,
with pink toes, raised family in nest
in shade tree in front Of the COngrega
tional church at the borough of Stoning
ton, on the seashore, and recently mi
grated to the south. No one molested
her or her nest. Her young were of the
color of ordinary robins. The strangest
albino freaks were killed recently by
hunters in the forests among the wild
hills about Middletown. They were per-
fectly white gray squirrels, with beauti-
full pink eyes and claws and great
flowing tails as beautiful as white
plumes.-Norwich Special.

WHY Gold l. Coming this Way.
HE STOOD UP FOR SILVER.
A Colorado Man Advocates the Argen-
tiferous Money.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Silver has had its
innings at the bankers congress, and prop
erly enough its champion has come from
the silver state Colorado. James II. Platt
is his name and he prefaced his remarks
nv saving be was not a banker. but a
manufacturer, a producer. and he said the
bankers would be benefited by taking into
their confidence the business men who pay
them the profits on their accumulated
wealth. Il am trying to earn a living by
making something" said Mr.. Platt. Il
employ labor l am a manufacturer and /
have had hard time of it on declining
market and a lessening currency since
1873 If YOU bankers from the east desire
any one to help you in damning the Sher-
man bill we will find you thousands of
them in the mines and work shops and on
the farms of Colorado"
He then repeated the ft-told argument
that a period of declining values was al
WAYS period of hard times, and that these
were due to restriction of the circulating
medium No business man bought today
ANYTHING he could do without, because he
thought he can buy it cheaper tomorrow
This caused general depression and the
ONLY remedy. in Mr.. Platt's opinion, was
the restoration to silver of the free mint
age rights enjoyed by it prior to 1873 for
sixteen years. The money of the people
the world over is silver. said The speaker.
Give the gold dollar and the silver dollar
an equal chance and the gold would be
driven out of the market.
Continuing he said: The great in
dustries in Colorado are paid in gold. Eng
land makes all her subsidiary coins in sill
yer. The crown piece. worth $3.50 of Amer

low prices in the United States and other

his pocket and say this is worth only -
cents nor viii you see any fool newspaper
keep standing at the head of its editorial
column the statement that 4-shilling
piece is worth only GO cents, as some of
the newspapers of the United States do"
Replying to the statement made in pa
per read that there cannot be legislated
into something a value that it does cot
possess intrinsically, Mr.. Platt illus
trated his argument Being from Color

Then state Attorneys May Chase 'the
Bubble Reputation
CHICAGO June 24-The Cattle Feeding
and Distillery company has filed its answer
70 the information in quo warranto pro
ceedings by Attorney General Moloney- 1t
opens by stating that the charges in the
information Of perversion and abuse OF its
charter are not true and AYERS that the ac-
ton is not in the interest of the people of
the state of Illinois. but III the interest of
Samuel Woolner, Jacob and Henry
Schwabacker and John II. Francis, who
are trying to get some plants in Peoria
now held by the trust out of its hands.
The answer states that before the filing of
the petition for leave to file information
against it, dispute arose between the
corporation and these four gentlemen,who
are stockholders in the corporation
The dispute is the one frequently eX-
planned of late with reference to the ground
rent of distilleries, and the answer alleges
that the attorneys are acting solely IN the
interest of Woolner and his associates in
whose employ they are and for his benefit
II alleges that ii is suit to settle private
rights between private parties and TO aid
them in getting possession of these diStil-
leries in Peoria which are situated on
pieces of real estate for which they have
been paid. The answer further states that
the corporation is legally incorporated and
acting within its franchise legally; that it
is not continuation of the Cattle Feeders
and Distillers' Trust company and did not
assume all of its contracts and obligations
That it is not its policy to dismantle and
keep plants idle, or that by means of the
rebates it brings dealers under its control
and dictation.
1t is also claimed that the trust acquired
its property in fair and open sale; that suf-
ficient competition exists to make a close
market and the price of whisky and other
products of the corporation was lower than
ten years before the corporation was
organized; that it produces only 30 per
cent. of the alcohol, highwines, etc, of the
United States, and that nearly all the COM
panies in this corporation are not now le-
gal entities, they are dissolved and
wound IN
