low q Persisten. Camera Man Got q
Picture Of the Wreck.

Il was in a wreck near Rossyille.
Ind, said ex-Justice Schwab TO a Gin
cinnali TinleS-Sttr man. 1--WE were
on the way to Chicago. and were rude
ly awakened just before daylight by a
grand crash. We found our coach
hanging over a chasm formed by a
break in the bridge over Middlefork
river. The engine, tender and bag

we're down in the river. The ends of
our coach rested on either side of the
ragged gap in the bridge. A wreck
ing crew got there at daylight, pulled
Us out OF our predicament, and started
TO clear. Then there was fun.
a photographer got there with the
first rays of the morning sun, and pre-
pared to take pictures for some illus
trated journal. He cot his instrument
set up, focused and all ready. and
was about to let 'er 90, when the fore
man Of the %wrecking crew deliberately
held a shovel before the lens and
spoiled the exposure. The photogra-
pher, an old hand, fully acquainted
with the policy Of the railroad compa-
MES to prevent the photographing of
wrecks, if possible, tried it again. He
got back a trile on higher ground, but
when all was ready again he found a
line Of men holding rubber coats on
poles, obscuring the view Of the wreck.
His third attempt met with a move
ment Of the ~railroaders to smash his
cameta, and he hastily retreated with
it to q neighboring fence.
"All this time a middle-aged, deter
mined-looking farmer leaned over his
fence, within fifty yards of the broken
bridge, an interested spectator of the
proceedings. To him the photogra-
pher went and asked the privilege Of
taking the picture from his land, prom
Using a copy to him of the picture
made. That was agreeable TO the
farmer, and the camera was soon in
position again, but again the rubber
coats went up and stopped the bust
ness. Then the farmer determined to
have a picture if it cost a farm. Send
ing his man to the barn, he directed
him TO hitch mp a wagon, and, after
fastening a high step ladder into it, he
drove down to the fence corner, took
the photographer aboard, and in a few
minutes the latter had secured several
good exposures of the entire wreck.
The coats could not be raised high
enough that time, but the whole
wreckiug crew made for the wagon,
determined to wreck that camera
But the farmer, with a few words.
gathered 4 dozen or so of stout farm
hands about him, and, armed with
clubs, they got aboard the wagon, sur
rounded the photographer and cam
era. and, standing or the wrecking
crew, drove oil the field safe and in
triumph"

WHAT A HoRRDo NAN SAYS.
Masculine "Dont's" Demanding Feminine
Attention.

Don't hate other women so. Think
Of the way you look at one another on
the street. Don't keep all your polite
ness for us.
Don't keep smoothing the wrinkles
out of your waist. A few wrinkles
will keep YOU from looking %hideously
smooth, like a fashion plate,
Don't have your skirt badly fastened
at the back so that your underskirt
becomes visible, You can't see this
and no woman seems to tell you.
Don't get off a car with your back
to the horses. Men get a great deal
of fun out Of yourpersistency in doing
this. But you are not bound to amuse
them.
Don't stand at the door of a street
car and worry some man near at hand
into giving you a seat when there are
empty seats at the head of the car.
You all do this.
Don't leave your handkerchief and
pocketbook in your lap when you are
riding in a stI Get car. Some man will
pick them up for you as you are pass
ing out, but they will get muddy.

New Jersey remove for the present from
active politics the man who has been for
years the most conspicuous figure in the
public affairs OF that State. He built up
for the Democracy a State organization OF
uncommon practical efficiency; and for q
long time his power WAS almost autocratic.
In many important respects he served we'll
the party and the people: and the number
OF political enemies he made Is not the least
impressive reminder OF his personal force
and fearlessness.

That Hundred Million Gold Fable.

The authorities at Washington have at
last discovered. what The SUN has been
telling them all along, that no act has ever
boon passed by Congress creating a fund
for tho redemption OF tho legal tenders In
gold. and that the fixing Of 500. oOO. 900 as a
limit OF that fund Is nothing moro than n
Treasury usage. Consequently, no bonds
con lawfully be sold to replenish that fund.
and none. we are confident. will he sold for
the purpose by the present Secretary OF
the Treasury.
1t is to be hoped that the bankers. brok-
ers. bank presidents. newspaper writer's.
Representatives. Senators. and all others
who have been working themselves into a
frenzy over the supposed peril OF the
Treasury from a reduction OF its gold below
500. 900. 900. and the terrible results which
were going to follow that reduction. will
now cease their frantic cries and come back
to common sense. Senator SHERMAN.
especially. owes it to himself and to his
constituents to stop repeating tho asser-
ton made by him in the United States Sem
ate last week. that an act Of Congress had
beer passed establishing q redemption
fund, and fixing its maximum at $lOO. 00O.-
600. When asked to give n reference to this
imaginary act. he lodged Inc refused to
answer. Now hat the truth OF the matter
is seen, he stands convicted Of having made
o deliberate misstatement.

no secret that during his last term OF Office
CANovAs secretly favored n movement

Tho Man that Brushes for Our Flag.

Tho passage here quoted Is from m edl-

citizen OF Irish extraction:

Blushing for the American flag! Who is
1t tina bushes for the American flag?
The best citizens" according to Mr.. E.
l.. GoDKIN OF the Ercning Post. But who
are the blushing best citizens? What are
their names? Where do they live To
what by-ways or blind alleys or obscure
and solitary places do they repair to hide
their burning cheeks. when the emotion OF
shame for tho American flag and all that it
represents overcomes them?
They certainly do not blush in public. Mr..
+. L. GoDKIN alone excepted. 1t might be
n dangerous thing for any American. ma
tive or adopted. to exhibit In public the
scarlet evidence that he Is ashamed OF his
flag and his nationality. In communities
where honest Indignation sometimes gets
the better OF respect for law and order. such
bushes would be n ticket for a ride on q
rail: perhaps even for a coat OF tor and
turkey feathers.
So far as we have observed, our best citi-
zens are prouder Of their flag than Of any
thing else on earth. Most OF them are
ready to stand by it, right or wrong. Many
OF them are willing to follow 1t to death.
II need be. II the sight OF this striped and
starry old banner ever brings the color to
their cheeks. it is the flush OF Joy and
pride. not the GoDKIN blush OF shame and
modification.
Shame on this person for his Wholesale
and stupidity mendacious libel OF our best
citizens! Our best citizens are the best
Americans. He is not worthy to hold not
urallzation papers in their company. He
should 80 and live under some other Gov
eminent. where he will not constantly ex-
perience n sense of disgust and humiliation
on account OF the flag that now flies over
him and protects him. along with about
sixty-flve millions Of better citizens.

The fact that people lost on n desert or in a
forest invariably walk in q circle. is due to
slight inequality In the length OF the logs.
Careful measurements OF q series Of skeletons
have shown that only ten per cent. had the
lower limbs equal In length. 35 per cent: had
the right limb longer than the left. while In 30
per cent. tho left leg was. the longer. The re-
suit OF one limb being longer than the other
will naturally be that a person will uncon-
s%ciously take a longer step. with the longer
limb, and consequently will trend to the right
or to the left. according NJ the left or right
is tho longer, unless the tendency to deviation
is corrected by the eva.
The left leg being more frequently TIE

frequently to the right than to the left, and

ment OF tho arms. it is found that In seventy
two pcr rent. thu right arm is longer than the

From a. 81. Lpuis Globe Democ,a..

FORT WORTH. March lat the recent Immi-
grafton Convention at Wichita Falls. Mr.. Alex
andeE introduced a resolution advising that
tho Panhandle practically. secede. from the
Lone Star State and set up for itself.
This morning n Globe Democrat representa-
tive met the Hon. A. /. Carter and asked him
what he thought OF the proposition. The eN-
Senator declared at once that no was opposed
TO any division Whatever. In his ~oninion there
was no grounds for such a step as tho resolu-
ton contemplated. His understanding was
that the Panhandle people based their nropo-
sition principally upon the assumed TACT they
were not being considered IN tho location
OF the new courts which are now under
contemplation: that their rights were in dan
ger. and, in order to secure what they believed
WAS Justice to that portion OF tho state they
proposed to cut loose from the Commonwealth
aud organize q State by themselves. In tho
first place. Mr.. Carter said. there was no pros
perous country In the world where the courts
were able to keep abreast of the litigation. and
it was a notorious TACT that the chief reason
for the enormous number OF cases In the Texas
courts was the fact that so many lawyers ac-
handl. reople were comparatively strangers.
They came to Texas and took advantage OF
the chenp lands to provide homes for them
solves. and were now endeayoring to croato a
state Of feeling which might develop into
serious consequences to the people Of Texas.
