Dubbed a Visionary,

The probability that vehicles driven
by steam would be the future means of
transportation on land was very well
foreseen 20 years before the last century
closed by Oliver Evans of Philadelphia,
the inventor of thethigh pressure steam
engine. AS early as 1856 he petS Sioned
the legislature of Pennsylvania for the
exclusive right to use his inventions for
road wagons to be propelled by steam.
The word locomotive had not then come
into use. This privilege was denied, but
the Maryland legislature granted the
right for IA years. There appeared at
one time good prospects of Evans obtain
ing the necessary financial support TO
apply his steam engine to the propulsion
of boats and road wagons, bit some
cautious capitalist of that day deter
mined to have B. H. Latrobe, am accom-
plished architect and engineer, report
upon the schemes that Evans was advo-
eating. Latrobe reported strongly
against the steam engine, saying that
the inventor was a visionary. This re-
port ruined Evans career and deprived
America Of the benefits of the steam en-
gine in transportation for two genera
tions longer.
By curious irony of fate the son of
this same Latrobe performed important
engineering services in building the Bal
timore and Ohio, the first railroad in
this country where steam engine was
used successfully.-Locomotive Engi-
neering.

Don't Judge by Appearances.

A one legged street beggar who, rain
or shine, sits every day with outstretched
hand on the steps of warehouse in a
down town cross street is quite philos-
opher In his way. He says that, so far
as his experience goes, little can be
judged regarding the benevolence of men
or women by their appearance. Some
times, he says, he will see man ap-
preaching who seems to be the personi-
ication of charity allied with opulence.
The beggar stretches forth his hand with
confidence, but withdraws it with disap-
pointment. Then there hurries by Me-
phistophelian looking creature, seedy
perhaps, with cynical smile on his face,
who drops quarter into the beseeching
palm. Among women, the beggar asserts,
the best dressed are seldom the most
charitable. There are exceptions to the
rule, Of course, but the prevalent theory
that street beggar can ''size up" Pc
destrian by his appearance is erroneous.

clan Who Didn't Come Back?
''Hants? Why of course believe in
them," said Yves Hearn to group OF
congenial Bohemians crowded around
the lunch counter about midnight
'There's liant now," and he pointed
TO big black cat which stealthily made
its way in the door and under table, out
of the shadow of which his eyes glowed
ted and green. THAT cats a hant and
mascot all in one.
Zone stormy night about four years
ago he came in here, and he's never been
away since. There used to be an old
musician who visited Us every night
steady for years. He used to come in
hollow eyed and haggard He never said
q word, bit laid down his money, got
his bracer-Old Tom gin-always the
same, and went ON his way. The time
the cat came in the night man noticed
that the old musician hadn't appeared. 1t
was stormy night, too, just about this
time The wind howled and moaned,
and the lightning flashed in red ribbons,
while the thunder cracked like the guns
Of battle and reverberated in boom
that made all the dishes in the house
rattle 1t was bad night, too dismal
by far for people to be out in. Every
body was sitting around the stove talk
ing. Just as the clock was striking 12,
Mr.. Frazee expressed wonder that the
old man, meaning the musician, hadn't
come in. At that moment the big black
cat came in and took his place by the
stove and never uttered a meow, and he's
|. never been away since, and, more than
that, he never sleeps. If that cat should
60 to sleep, l believe the house would
fall down. Once in awhile he gets lit
tie bit sick, and then everything goes
wrong.
''But the strange part of the story is
that the old musician never came back.
Two days later he was pulled out Of the
river dead. He must have jumped in the
same night that cat came. 1 believe the
spirit Of that old man is in that cat.
What makes me believe so is that as
soon as band passes that door playing
that cat makes for the river as fast as he
can tear. He goes away the moment any
music is heard, and he doesn't tarTy
when he starts. What he goes to the
river for don't know. Perhaps it was
music that drove the old man crazy.
I've heard some music that would drive
anybody so. FLORIDA Times Union.

Poor Hankinson, who had come to
make an evening call, paused at the
doorway Of the parlor. Young Fergu-
son was there ahead of him.
Il can hardly hope for any inter
change of ideas this evening, Miss Ia
jones, he said, with ghastly attempt
to be facetious, on the basis of unre-
stricted reciprocity. You seem to be

CIRCULATING ART.
Why Should Pictured Not Be Passed
Around Just Like Books Are?

Why Should Pictured Not Be Passed
Around Just Like Books Are?
The other day l heard an excellent no.
ton propounded with regard to works of
art. 1t was the establishment of a cir
culating picture gallery, which should
occupy the same relation with regard to
paintings as Nude does in respect of
books. Of course the subscription
would be higher, as the number of sub
scribers would be limited. But the
pictures would be changed every month,
so that a man need never be bored hr
the eternal sameness Of the walls.
A story is told of man who dined op
posite to fine work by Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds for so many years that 1t at last
had to be moved, for it irritated him to
such an extent that he threatened to hurl
decanter of port wine at it. The new
society would effectually obviate any
such annoyance. All the works would
be for sale, so any subscriber taking a
fancy to particular picture might OBJ
tain the price from the secretary and on
payment thereof could become its pos
SCISSOR.
The advantage of this system, especial
ly in the present depressed state of the
fine art market, is obvious, and it would
also be benefit to the buyers, because
they would discover after the trial OF
month whether they really liked pic
ture or not.
The terms of the subscription would
of course be in proportion to the style OF
pictures supplied. Of course II you e1-
pected to have works by Sir Joshua
Reynolds, George Romney and Sir John
Everett Millais the payment would be
very much more costly than if you only
required series of prints. But the sub
scriptions should be so regulated that 1t
would bring the circulating picture gal
lery within the reach Of au.-London

PIANOS
What We Do

Some families want piano but keep
putting it off till they can pay the whole
price cash down.
The result is that meanwhile they go
without, or else waste money in renting,
and then, perhaps, when the money is
ready it is too late to enjoy or profit by
the use of an instrument.
A small payment to begin with, and a
little more than bare rent monthly will
buy an Ivers & Pond Piano in the same
time it would take to save W the money,
and the investment is all the time safer
than a savings bank, for the customer
has the piano all the time.

ny NIC
The society comedy Till" which
MAS presented at the Metropolitan last
evening as complimentary benefit TO
Miss Marie Harding, was very well at
tended, considering the extreme cold
weather, and can be looked upon as
quite compliment TO that talented
young actress. Admirers showered her
with flowers in the third act and her
character presentation fully warranted
the honor. She carried the title role.
and as the innocent and honest, though
self-willed daughter. gave a sweet
representation of girlhOod'S happy days,
and at the same time proved the
utter fallacy of a mother attempt
ing to dispose of her heart without
considering the wishes of the owner of
that susceptible piece of anatomy. The
principal male character was in the
hands Of Manager Bollmann, ana he
gave a good rendition of an honorable
instructor in a wealthy family. Felix
Seifert did the best piece of acting
since he has been with the Bollmann's,
and Mrs. Helene Collmer was up to her
usually high standard. The other parts
were well carried by Rehfeld, Neumann
and Little Ella COllmer. The Boil
MAINS certainly warrant a much larger
patronage than they are receiving at the
hands of the German population of St.
Paul, and it is hoped that in the future

SPIDER AND FLY"
Enjoyable Spectacular and Comic
Performance

''Spider and Fly" opened its weeks
engagement at the Grand opera house
last night to a crowded house. This Is
very amusing variety performance. 1t
is set with magnificent scenery, and is
replete with comical situations, songs,
dances, marches, aud has legs galore 1t
is intensely spectacular and varied. OF
course, the plot is matter of little or
no consideration. No one who enjoys
an evening of mirth- provoking nonsense
should fail TO see the show during the
week. Just where the Spider and
Fly" feature comes is not distinctly
apparent. unless 1t be through the
tangle of legs.
Dan Packard as Pickles does some ex-
cellent low comedy work, and j. A.
Herman as Emery also contributes much
to the fun-making.
Charles w. Ravel. as Sancho, and
Harry Rose. as Pedro, are good clowns
of the circus order. Kittie Marcellus,
as Oceana, displayed a superior high
soprano voice, ascending to the highest
noter with clear and sweet effect.
George Putnam and the La Porte sis
tiers in their songs, dances and general
performance were much of show in
themselves.
Hilda Thomas. in the latter part of
the second act, gave a rare exhibition
of comic singing and acting. She was
| called back several times, and finally
declined to respond TO further storming
calls from the audience. AS Razzle
Dazzle she was also good.
| The entire comp any is admirably
adopted to the character of the play
| ''Spider and Fly" will undoubtedly ell
| JOY great patronage throughout the
week.

in on US and took a seat mod
estly in the background. Some
right funny experiences were

my name l never knew where he went
to, but he disappeared all at once"
Then MIR. Munger told a story of how
he once made trip to Europe. On his
return, he happened to land in st. Paul
on the Fourth OF July. He accosted an
acquaintance, and said he had just come
over from Europe. With his peculiar
dry humor. he remarked on the build
ings being gaily decorated with bunting
and flags: IL did not expect to
be so highly hOnOred by my fellow citi-

to catch the humor underlying the re-
mark, and replied: why, that isn't on
your account; it's Fourth OF July, don't
you know The man really thought l
was i'll earnest" laughed Mr.. Munger.
Then he told another story OF black

to have another horse come up from be-

Gold.

VALPARA $50. Ind, Jan. 7.-CharieS
Henderson, of Welltown. o., is making
arrangements to sail Feb. Is from
Philadelphia to the South seas to secure
a hidden treasure which he buried on
an island near the South American
coast. He wrote to friend here to join
the expedition. Before the war Hen
derson was a Subofficer on a slave YES
sci making regular trips to Africa. One
day the vessel was attacked by a United
States man-of-war, and in, their efforts
to escape struck rock, and the crew,
had to take to their boats. The captain
tod Henderson that he had $4,000 in,
I gold aboard, and it he would assist him,
! in secreting it from the crew he would
give him half. They reached the island
and buried the gold i'll cave. The
captain and four of the crew died of
smallpox two weeks later, and while
trying TO leave the island the boat cap
sized, drowning all but Henderson and
one companion, who were picked up by
a passing vessel and carried to New Or
