On Tuesday as drove of bullocks
numbering about 140 were being driven
from the Canadian shed to the Wood
side lairage at Birkenhead, singular
accident happened. On the river side
of the Alfred dock there is narrow un-

by the Mersey docks and harbor board

will allow two bullocks to pass over
abreast, but yesterday the beasts became
jammed and one Of them leaped into

Women In Medicine.

At the beginning of 1898 the number
of women who had entered their names
in the British medical register amounted
to 1853, of whom nine have died since
registration. About so are in practice in
India and other parts of the east, chiefly
as medical missionaries; some of the
younger women-perhaps 20-are still
engaged in study at various schools and
hospitals, chiefly ON the continent, and
the remainder are in practice in various
parts of Great Britain, more than half
of these having settled III London. The
number of posts thrown open TO medical
women increases every day, and the de-
mand for their services in various direc-
tions is still considerably in excess of the
upply.-Medical Magazine.

The Electric Fan Waltzed.

A diminutive electric fan in the Office
of the department of public works was
located ON a window sill. where its noise
disturbed the clerks, and they placed it
upon metal heater. The instant the
current was turned on the electricity
performed clog dance and waltzed the
fan all over the heater. All the time the
blue fluid flashed out in two foot lengths
and the burning and whirring of the
swift revolving wheel nearly caused a

THEY rrAn ANARCHISTS.

New Yorkers Who Hire Watcbmen to Pro-
tcct Their Lives and Millions.
There are now four times as many
watchmen and detectives along Fifth
avenue in the vicinity of the residences
of the money kings as there were a few
months ago and before the anarchistic
element became noisy. So said one of
the watchmen found guarding the new
million dollar palace of Cornelius Van

palaces along Fifth avenue have not
been taking any chances in letting an
archists place bombs under their front
stoops. He estimated that at least 500
new watchmen have secured employment
since the anarchists began their recent
noisy meetings ON the east side. 1t was
his fond hope that the reds would con-
tinue their harangue, as it gave employ
ment to good many "daycent fellers
who needed job powerfully bad"
"Since this recent anarchist talk and
racket on the east side we have done a
land office business" said the manager
of detective bureau. "We have sup
piled over 100 men to wealthy but timid

HE was so nervous about anarchists
that he used to get up in the middle of
the night and saunter out himself to see
whether the men were all on post or
not. Yes, he belongs to one of the fam
lilies of the largest millionaires in New
York, but am not at liberty to divulge
his name. merely mention him to
show you how nervous our millionaires
get when there is talk of mob violence
or a bomb plot.
II have no doubt but that they have
some very good reasons for anticipating
trouble at the present time from the an
archistic element in the city. There is
generally some crank willing to be made
a martyr of for any cause. I have no
hesitancy in saying that I believe some
one of these anarchists who have been
made so much of in the newspapers will

Why the Fair Maiden should Have Ac.

He was a minister of the Gospel in a
small town, and it is not necessary to
say hat the remuneration was not of
tropical luxuriance.
He was a bachelor, however, and he
received slippers and other articles of
bric-a-brac during the year from adj
miring members of his congregation in
sufficient quantities to enable him to
h~ypothecate them for enough to be of
some assistance.
That he had not married was due
largely to the fact that most of the
young women of his acquaintance had
to eat and wear clothes and live under
a roof of some kind. and they did not
see how he could make such provisions
for their comfort.
True, he had tried once or twice,
probably three times, but the passion
was not overpowering and his con
dition was such, to his own knowledge,
that nothing less than the overpower-
ing could make him persevere in his eff
forts TO win the object of his choice.

himself, and by day and by night his
thoughts followed this girl.
