employees to ensure most enjoyable trip.
Excellent dining service is maintained and
buffet library cars are attached to the train,
where current periodicals may be perused
while smoking cigar with all the pleasure
of ones own "den" at home. Electric
lights placed in every berth enables the
traveller to spend his wakeful hours, after
retiring, over his favorite novel or other
reading matter Private compartment cars
are run between Chicago, St. Paul and Min
neapolis. In fact, everything that goes tc
ensure comfort and security 5 provided

POPULAR EXCURSIONS.

To the worlds Fair VIA the Pennsylvauis
Railroad.
So great is the popularity of the halfrate
excursions to the Worlds Fair that the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company has decided to in
crease the number of trips. In pursuance oI
this plan popular excursions will be run Au'
gust 10Th, 10Th, 22d, 28th, September 9th and
18th. These excursions will be run underline
same conditions as those which have preceded
them, and will afford everyone an opportun-
ity Of attending the Worlds Greatest Fair at
an inconsiderable cost.
A decided improvement in the train sched
ule, which accelerates it so as to deliver the
passengers in Chicago at an early hour the
following afternoon, places the special train
almost on an equality in the matter of speed
with the best express trains.
The special trains are composed Ofthe stand
ard coaches for which the Pennsylvania
Railroad is famous Only one night is passed
on the road, and the arrival in Chicago is so
timed as to give abundant opportunity for
engaging quarters before nightfail.
The special train viii leave New York 300

next afternoon. The excursion rate, good
only on the special train and valid for return
within ten days, is $1,000 from New York,
S1s 25 from Philadelphia, and proportionately
low from other stations.
Many expressions of satisfaction have come
from those who took advantage of the earlier
excursions Of this series.

To Change the Road.

The Lakeside Electric Railway Company is
taking steps to change the course of the high
way at the east end of Centre street, and it is
quite likely that the court will be asked t.
appoint viewers for the purpose early next
week. The object is to make new road St
that teams will not be obliged to cross the
electric tracks in the vicinity of the Indian
Ridge breaker. The change will be generally
satisfactory, as the new road will have much
easier grade than the one now in use.

A LION BARRED HIS PATH.
Many Hours of Anxious Waiting, but
Deliverance Came at

Written for THE MORNING CALL

Pals del Orc" is the name Of an aban-
doned mine in Pima County, Arizona.
Where it got this name is one of the mys-
teries of that mysterious land. because 1t is
not a gold mine. but a very poor copper one.
However, that has nothing to do with the
story. The mine is abandoned and has been
for years, and you couldn't hire one Of the
Indians from the neghborhood to go down
the shaft for any amount of money, or
whisky even. because they say the mine is
haunted by the ghost of its last owner.
That the mine is haunted is a generally
accepted fact, as much SO as the mines
name. The last owner was killed by an In
liam workman who smashed his skull with
a hammer. Not content with killing the
man the murderer put the body on top of
can of powder. and placing a long fuse
through the opening lighted 1t and made his
own escape through shaft Another work
man saw the whole affair and ran out an
other way. calling to all his companions who
could hear to follow him No living person
was hurt, but the body of the dead man was
blown to fragments.
From that day to this no ndian has been
drawn into the mine. A few who have
passed there at night say they saw the
ghost OF the dead man beck ouing to them.
He was not as he appeared in life, but in
bleeding fragments, as he would be If lie
were put together after the explosion, 1t
was a most horrible sight, and they also
said they could hear the sound of the ex-
ploSion every few minutes In time the
Mexcans got TO believe the story and now
the mine Is known as ''Ihe haunted niue"
as well as Pals del Oro."

week from to-day and the penned-up
anglers who have been anxiously longing
for cold bath In a mountain stream will
be seen wading through every brook and
rivulet that is known to contain trout
II is generally thought that on account of
the constant downpour the streams will not
be in condition for fishing until the latter
part Of April.
Although many anglers contend that the
late rains are blessing to the city sports
man, who observes the edict and keeps his
lines dry until the law says. "GO forth, my
good and faithful Waltonian, and try your
luck, as the time has come when lawful
strings on festive mountain beauties will
no longer keep your reel from singing that
fayorite tune which to the angler is music
sweeP-still there are others who think
differently and from experience state that
late rains in March wash the young fishes
TO the ocean, thereby injuring the good
sport which should be had in MAY by de-
pleting the streams Oh their fnny inha bit
ants.
Whatever truth may be attached to the
latter statement there can be no disputing
the fact that for two seasons past the fish
ing in April has been exceedingly poor in
all of the coast streams.
As regards the washing of young fishes
to the ocean By heavy freshetS all expert
enced anglers are aware that during the
time when streams and rivers are running
bank high the small fishes work up into the
little brooks which feed the large streams
and there they remain until the winter
rains cease. when they gradually descend to
the deep pools.
The fishes caught in the streams Of this
coast which have access to the ocean are
all OF the same variety.
They are migratory In their habits and
belong to the salmon family.
There Is NJ doubt but when they attain a
certain age they leave the fresh water for
the ocean; consequently the sta atement M ade
by some anglers that late rains injure in
stead OF improve the fishing in coast streams
at the opening OF the seasons smacks con-
siderable of the truth.
Inc country boy with pole and string will
not nave much of an advantage over the
metropolitan angler this year, and as mat
ter oil course many fishes that would have
created stir in rustic pan before April /.
had the weather been fine, will now find a
resting place in the baskets of those who
observed the law.

pushed his board out until it reached half
way across the shaft aud stood on the en- d
of it TO keep it from falling. He then
bundled his straw around stone and after
lighting 1t threw 1t across to the straw pile
behind the lion.
The straw was dry and blazed brightly
and the lions fury changed to fear. 1t
paced along the edge OF the shaft for few
moments and then made leap for the end
OF the board about six feet away. II
reached the board safely and for moment
clung on 10 the end. Just then Allen
stepped off, and board and lion both went
to the bottom just as the candle went out
Allen could hear the dull thud Of the heavy
body and knew that his enemy was dead.
BE was in bad fix still because he could
not get out. The tunnel he had got into
ended few feet further on, and it was i'm
possible for him to jump across the ten
feet. There was nothing to do but wait,
which he did for nearly three days, when
his friends came and found him. They
thought of looking into the mine, because
they saw his horse nearly starved standing
tied to the cactus.
Allen was all right In a day or so, and
came to the conclusion that the lion must
have got on scent and traced him into the
mine. but 1t Is still a mystery why i did
not eat the horse that was hitched outside
