Tragi-Comic Court Incidents.

The German Gerichtszeitung reports
tragicomic incident which recently happened
at one of the criminal courts of a large town
In the Fatherland. During the trial of a culprit
young and handsome woman YVES observed
among the spectators that crowded the court
room, sobbing and crying in a most piteous
manner. When the court passed judgment
she fell fatnt1ng and was only with difflCulty
aroused by the compassionate women accom-
panying her Now the condemned prisoner
was led out from behind the bars, and, with a
heartrending scream, his young affianced, for
such she was, rushed through the crowd, en-
braced her lover, and. in a transport of
despair, exclaimed; They shall never sepa-
rate me from you, my dear Hans" BE com
posed, Lizzie; it is only for yeaf' Il can
not endure it. But you must Yon cannot
follow me-" well, Hans, then leave me at
least your diamond pin and cuff-bottons that
den and was hurried off by tho
policemen, while Lizzie ''admiringly
bent her snow-white neck over the glittering
jewels, her eyes suffused with tears" as the
faithful court reporter POLITICALLY put it. How
ever comical this, story may appear. it re-
minds one Of q highly dramatic incident in
the history OF England. The Duke of Argyle
who in 1885, had joined the party of the Duke
of Monmouth against James II shared the
fate of the pretender on the seaffold. While
Monmouth cowardly begged for his life, Ar
gyle showed the most perfect composure.
Getting ready to leave his dungeon, he re-
ceived message from his wife bidding him
not to forget to send her his golden cuff but
tons. DiSmayed at the heartleSsness of the
woman, he retained his composure and merely
asked the bearer whether this was time for
thinking of such matters. When he had as
cended the scaffold one of his friends inquired
of him whether he had no message for the
duchess. ITO be sure he answered smiling:
Il almost forgot; bring her these cuff but
tons" After taking them of and handing
them to his friend he serenely laid his head
on the block.

kicked Into a Fortune.

Any man without Tom Powers luck would
have been kicked into kingdom come instead
OF the richest digeings in the territories, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. He was freight
ing from Lake Valley to the mining camps in
the Black Range, and was lucky il he could
keep at work. He was about as clumsy as
they make men, and never made a trip with
out being kicked, bitten or trodden on by his
team.
One mule in the string, Old Sam. was a reg
ular devil; the brute knew that Tom was
AFRAID OF him and never missed a chance to
bite or kick at him. One day in the latter
part Of September, 1887, Tom started from
Lake Valley with heavy load, bound to John
Burkes camp. The distance was eighty
miles and part of the way the road was hardly
more than trail along the side of this noun
talns. Half dozen good teamsters had re
fused the contract, but Tom took it because
the price ofered was more than double what
ne could obtain on any other route. Bets
were freely made that the outfit would go over
the grade, but Tom succeeded in getting over
sixty miles Of the road without a single hitch.
Then he was at the Hogback narrow ridge
along which the road ran, and on each side
was deep canon. At no place is the road
more than a couple of feet wider than
wagon, and the grade is very heavy. Half
way across something started Old Sam, and
he began to kick.
Tom whipped and swore but Sam only made
his heels fly faster, and at last managed to
get outside the traces, and then, as il salts
ned with the fun he had had, the brute lay
down right in the middle of the road and de-
ned Tom every effort to get him up.
A couple of MeXican's happened along and
at Tom invitation they took hand, One OF
them gathered a lot of dry grass and piled it
close to the mules hindquarters and set it on
hre 1t took sam about two seconds to change
ms position and land his heels on Toms stom-
ach which sent him over the edge of the road
and down the bank He dropped 25 or 30 feet
down the side of the mountain
Where did he land? Why on the ledge of
the Monday. of course. He had sense enough
to keep his discovery a secret, and wrote to
MS brother in Denver to gather up all the
cash he could and get down to New Mexico
as soon as possible The first thing we knew
IN Lake Valley gang of men were at work
developing the mine. All the rock taken out
IS sent to Cerillos to be worked, and the deeper
they go the richer the ledge is.
1t paid handsomely from the start, and the
boys are now getting out about $40 900 month
clear OF expenses. The first thing Tom did
was to purchase old Sam, and the old mule is
now living life Of ease with big pasture to
Craze in and good stable to sleep in at night,

Good Advice for Bows.

The will of Rufus Hatch, who was a
well-known Wall street operator, was ad-
mitted to probate in New York city
Wednesday, A part of it is attracting a
good deal of attention That part is as
follows: 81 do not wish my boys to go to
college, but to receive a commercial edu-
cation. Should any of them, however,
wish to become lawyer doctor or clergy
man, then he may go to college; but l
much prefer that my sons should learn a
mechanical trade, so that they viii always
be sure of an honest livelihood. | most
strongly warn my children not to use to-
bacco in any shape or form; nor to touch,
taste or use wine or liquor in any way. /
earnestly desire that my children shall
not gamble in any way for money, as their
father has had experience sufficient to
serve for all his posterity."
Mr.. Hatch was one of the conspicuous
figures in financial circles in New York
He made and lost fortunes in Wall street,
and therefore knew all about the
pleasure of making money and the pain
of losing it. He did not want his sons to
become SPECTATORS or to devote their
lives to piling up riches. Three things he
warned them particularly against,
namely, strong drink, tobacco and stock
gambling. His own experience taught
him that happiness is not to be found in
Wall street.
Ambitious boys in town and country
will read with some amazement that
Rufus Hatch preferred that his
sons should learn mechanical
trade rather than enter one
of the professions or choose a business
career. A mechanical trade does not
hold out glitlering prizes nor is it the
means by which wealth or position is ob-
tanned, but it affords a certain livelihood
and promises more contentment and con
sequently, happiness, than can be found
in a professional or business career.
Boys who are anxious TO leave the farm
or who look with contemps upon trade
might read and ponder the foregoing par
agraph from Mr. Hatchs viii with profit.
Those who accumulate great fortunes or
acquire great fame are not the ones who
are the happiest. They crafty their am
bition at the expense OF their peace of
mind, and in the end are forced to the
conclusion chat they have worried and
fretted all their years to accumulate
money that others will enjoy or waste,
or to make "a name that will be quickly
forgotten

There is an electric street railway in
Washington, d. c., which is operated
without an overhead wire, The power
is obtained from a wire beneath the road
bed, thus removing the greatest objection
to the present best known system for OPP
Grating street cars. 1t is claimed that
the system is absolutely free from all
danger to the public, and that the cost of
maintenance is as cheap as any other
motor power. The Rock Creek Railway
Company of Washington is operated by
this new system, and its officers give it a
very strong Endorsement One of the
drawbacks to the overhead system is it's
danger and the Disagreement of the
streets. The underground wire, how
ever, was given very fair trial in Bos-
ton some years since and proved a fail
ure. Possibly the discoveries in cleo
tricity and the improvement in electric
machinery may have been such since as
to have overcome the difficulties en-
countered in the carly days of electric
railways
