French POliteness.

Suppose French politeness is a myth,
it is one to be cultivated the world over.
Even the humblest peasant in the small
est province is endowed with an all con-
quering courtesy that is brought into
play in the most commonplace matters.
If our men could only be taught some of
it, how much more easily would run the
wheels of life's machinery! Business is
business, of course The rush and worry
of money getting dwarf the real nature,
yet at the same time stocks would actno
more irregularly, bills would be no less
ready to be paid, panics would occur no
more frequently if the arbitrator of
great affairs would but remember to
bring into their business life little more
of the softening influence or refined
courtesies that are the flowers in a mead
ow of rank weeds.-New York World.

Three Millions For Endowment Orders.

There is over So, DOC, 600 lying in the
commemorative treasury in the state
house at Boston awaiting distribution
among the certificate holders of the de-
funct endowment orders. In order to
facilitate a settlement the supreme ju-
dicial court proposes to take an active
stand in the matter, and to that end E.
G. Bumpus has been appointed by the
court a special master to examine into
the situation Of the several endowment
order corporations, to confer with the re-
ceivers and to report to the court a plan
for an immediate dividend to tie claim
ants, with the draft of a decree ordering
such a dividend. Judge Bumpus has
taken such a course of inquiry as will
probably result in a practical solution of
the endowment cases, the court evident
ly having come to the conclusion that
the only way to settle them up is to take
a common sense view of the matter and
arrange a settlement which will not al

of the assets.-Boston Letter.

A strange railway accident, which
might have had terrible consequences, is
reported to have happened at the Bologna

logna and the four intermediate stations,
and fortunately the line was clear, and
the engine was shunted onto a side line
where there were only six empty car
riages, and into these it dashed at full
speed. The stoker had during the whole
time continued to heap coal on the fire.
The engine and carriages were of course
telescoped, and the stoker was so badly
hurt that he died soon afterward.-St.

Insect Life In Kansas.

The hot, sitting air brings fresh ter.
rors in the form of winged insects and
things that creep. Bugs as big as clothes
pins pounce upon the wayfarer and claw
and scratch until hurled from the neck
and stamped under foot. Then there is
a green bug which comes out Of the
night like a rife shot and sinks Ill its
feet into ones flesh. This beast is now
in season. Grasshoppers as long as the
little finger of a grown man crawl lei
surely up the screen of your window,
stopping from time to time to take OBJ
%servations and finally tumbling back
into the street to find temporary lodg-
ment in the whiskers of the native, who
is almost certain to be in range.-Kan-
sas Cor. Chicago Herald.

Liehtning's Strange Selection.

Probably n of the most remarkable
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one of the east
ern counties lately. A mar was shear
ing a sheep. Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for a minute or two. He had
been standing there but a very short
time when a sharp crack Of thunder was
preceded by a binding flash of lightning.
The shearer was startled almost out Of
his senses by seeing the pony and its
rider suddenly collapse in a heap, but in
a second the man was up, quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it as it had
served the pony. The sheep was stone
dead! This, it may be as well to state,
is a perfectly true story.-London Tit

A Jolly Old Mayor.

Don Jose Galendo, mayor Of the city
of Alba, is in a parlous plight indeed.
News from Madrid proclaims that his
worship has been taking unreasonable
liberties with the public treasures and
has in fact been proved guilty of 217
distinct forgeries, robberies and so forth.
The penalty for each separate crime is ID
years imprisonment, and as sentences do
not run concurrently by Spanish law
poor Don Jose must go to prison for 3,O3e
years. This would amount to life SEN
fences for three or four Methuselahs.-

The Best Language For TeIephoning.

The French language, it appears, is
better adapted to the purpose of the tele-
phone than the English. 1t is stated that
the large number of sibilant or hiss syl-
tables in English renders it. a less easy
and accurate means of communication.
Some English words are especially diff
cult of transmission by telephone. The
word "soldier" is cited as one of these.
Proper names frequently occur in the
midst of an otherwise perfectly audible
and intelligent conversation which the
a cannot possibly catch. These must
be spelled out, involving delay.-Elec-

Corsets and Christianity.

Whether women should or should not
veal c~orsets, they wear them all the
same, and the harm done by voluntary
tight lacing Is baialced by the recent
noble deed of DIR. Warner, corset manu-
facturer, of Bridgeport, Conn. Next to
articles of luxury, the last things OF earth
to be purchased in these hard times are
corsets. A pair of corsets may justly be
said to have great staying qualities.
Panics may come and panics may 60,
but well made corsets will 60 on forever.
Naturally, therefore, DR.. Warner feels
the financial stringency keenly, and not
only is he obliged to reduce time to three
days in the week, but is forced to clay
off" many ONE employees.
Does he leave them to choose between
starvation and the street? No. DR..
Warner actually does unto those unfor-
tunate women-as innocent of the pres
emit wicked panic as the rest of their sex
precisely al he would be done by. He
has read his New Testament Alright and
applies to this century Christianity as
taught by its founder 1900 years ago.
DR.. Warner offers his ex-employees free
board during the continuance of trade
stagnation. They have helped him make
the money which he returns in the hour
of need.

A Humble Dress Reformer.

At Muncie last night Freight Conduct
or Leige Love of the Big Four found a
frail looking girl on top of a box car of his
train dressed in boys clothes. The girl
said she was from Steubenville, O., and
had taken to the life of a PERENNIAL tramp
in order to see the world. She excused
the garb she wore by declaring that she
was in favor Of dress reform for women.
The venturesome miss refused to give her
name and acted very independent.-In-

The recent cutdown in wages among

with the yearly report, which showed q

HOW WILL THEY GET IN?
Tho ovor-the-R River Street Railway
Company Knocking for
lDN.TTlgCE INTO THIS CITY,
They are after Either the Steel or
Suspension bridges, Having AL
ready Secured the uew Back River
Hrldge-ProIeot for new Pier ut
the Island End OF tho Suspension.

The action taken by the Wheeling
chamber OF commerce at its meeting
Monday evening, in passing resolutions
iayoring u movement to have the Bel
laire, Bridgeport & Maritime Ferry street
railway company enter the city over
tho new back river bridge seems to
meet with the approval of the business
community, and the opinion prevails
thatif the road can secure an entrance
into Wheeling it will be OF great benefit
10 the merchants OF tho city, The COM
mittee appointed by President Quarter,
composed OF Messrs, Thomas O'Brien,
II. i. Dohrens and r. W. Hazlett, will
probably meet to-day, and a conference
will then DO hold between them and the
officials OF the oVer-the-river road,
which is now in process Of construction.
1t learned that the new road has
already by its actions shown desire TO
enter Wheeling, having within the lust
few days closed u contract with the
back river steel bridge people, by
which they are to have the exclusive
use OF the bridge for street railway use,
in consideration OF the payment to the
bridge company Of five per cent OF the
cost of the new bridge, which is OK.
pected 10 DO completed ready for trat'
lie next fall. The street railway COM
pany. proposes, it is said to run its
tracks down Wabash strict, on the
Island, from the bridge to Virginia
street, the thoroughfare which rms to
the end Of the suspension bridge; this
would lead to the suppostion that they
intend making an effort to enter the
city over that bridge, but by continuing
down Wabash street, square further
down, they could 90 over Ohio street to
the steel bridge. 1t may be that they
will try for thesQspension bridge route,
and in the event of failure there, will
endeavor To secure joint right OF way
over the steel bridge, which is now oc-
cuped by the tracks OF the Wheeling
Railway Company. 1t is said the fran
chise Of tho latter company over the
bridge is exclusive; in that event the
new road could not come over that way.
1t looks as though it will be lmpossi-
bic for the new road to come over from
the Island on the steel bridge, and their,
only recourse is the suspension, which,
in its present condition, is not safe for
electric ear traffic; but it ia said,
among the improvements contemplated
by the Wheeling & Belmont Bridge
Company is pier near the Island end
OF the suspension, and other devices to
strengthen tho structure II is possible
it might then DO used for cars.
