Skipping Rope Danger.

The announcement Of the death OF
q little girl in New York from exces-
sive exercise with the skipping rope
calls the attention Of parents 10 a
real danger. This exercise in moder-
alton Is healthful TO the child and en-
couraging to the shoemaker, but eI-
ceedingly dangerous when it comes
TO trials Of endurance or when little
girls exhaust themselves in an effort
to achieve a record and make a great
number OF jumps. Deaths from this
cause have occurred before, and in
many cases where the result is not
fatal the health Of the child may be
greatly impaired. 1t would be well,
therefore, for parents at this season
OF the year TO exercise some watch
fulness in this regard. Baltimore

THE PIckERCL's EYE.


William Lillibridge was fishing in
Penn, the other day for silver clubs.
He had caught but one after an
hours fishing, and was on the point
of pulling up and going home when
he felt smart jerk on his line, which
began to move rapidly of in the
water. He found that he had hooked
big fish, and after lively struggle
the hook : hold was broken and the
prize escaped. On examining his
hook Lillibridge was surprised to see
a fish's eye impaled on it. The eye
was a big one, and from the way the
hook was fastened In IL the fisherman
saw that the hook must have caught
the fish accidentally in the eye, and
that the fish had not bitten mt the
bait. In the struggle the eye was
torn from its socket.
Having heard that n fish's eye was
IA killing bait for perch and pickerel,
Lillibridge concluded to give this
strangely acquired eye trial. He
dropped his hook into the river and
played IL about for moment, when
he got strike that was sufficient
endorsement OF the taking qualities
OF fish : eye for bait He had an ex-
citing fight with the fish for few
seconds, but his tackle was not in
tended for fish OF that size and
strength, and his line parted II foot
or two above the hook. He lost his
fish, but went home and got
stronger tackle, thinking that il fish
of that size were biting he would
try little further to get some.
1t happened that his wife, evident
ly wanting to be sure OF having fish
for dinner, had during his absence
purchased mess OF suckers from
some boys who had been net fishing.
Lillbridge took the eyes out OF two
or three OF the suckers and returned
To the river. He made IA cast with
one of the sucker eyes, and the bait
had scarcely touched the water before
1t was seized by fish that gave the
angler another good fight, This one
was landed. 1t was four-pound
pickerel. When Lillibridge went to
remove the hook from its jaw he dis
covered piece OF fish-line sticking
from the pickcrels mouth. He recog-
nized IL as the piece that had been
broken from his fish line only few
minutes before. This was surprising,
but when the fisherman discovered
that the pickerel had but one eye,
the missing one having but recently
been removed from the socket, his
amazement was great.
There could be no doubt that the
missing eye was the one that his chub
hook had caught and torn from the
pickerel less than n quarter OF an
hour before. The pickerel had evil
IDENTIFY considered the removal OF his
eye from It's natural place IA OF small
consequence compared to its attrac-
tivencss as an epicurean deltcacy,
and had proceeded to recover IL and
tickle his palate with II the instant
IL reappeared In the water. The fish
erman's hook interrupted the pro-
cess, and, II the line had been strong
enough, the pickerel would have fall
len victim TO his intention OF dining
on his own eye. But his appetite and
nerve were so little disturbed by the
tearing OF the eye from It's socket, and
the subsequent placing OF 1t and
two-inch hook in his throat, that
when the suckers eye appeared he
did not hesitate to try his chances
with that, and was lost New York

GRAY MAKES HIS REPORT.

Senator Gray, chairman Of the special
erations of the sugar trust, submitted to
the senate the second batch of testimon Y
taken before that committee concerning
the examination of all the democratic
members OF the finance committee, in
Guiding Senators Voorhees,, Vest, Jones,
Harris, Mcpherson, Mills, and Secretary
Carlisle and Representative Warner.
Senator Mills entered a general denial
of the reported secret interview of Sec
rotary Carlisle on the sugar question, and
Of the alleged Sunday conference of the
finance committee. He said he had never
met any members of the sugar trust.
Secretary Carlisle's statement does not
materially differ from the official sta te-
ment given the day he was before the
committee. Senator McPherson's testi-
nony was explanatory of took purchases
and the method of conducting them, and
denied that he had specuiated in sugar
stock expecting TO profit by its fluctua-
tions due TO legislation. Like the news
paper men who had gone before, Repre-
sentative Miller refused TO mention the
names of the persons VINO told him that
the sugar trust would beat the bill, or
with whom he had the conversation
charging the sugar trust with contribut-
ing 10000 to the democratic campaign
fund in New York. Senator Vest denied
that he had changed front on sugar be-
cause of party obligations TO the trust.

COLUMBIA VERY BADLY DAMAGED.


The dent in the bottom of the Column
bia is ninety feet long, four feet wide and
varies in depth up TO more than one foot.
1t extends along the midship compart-
ments on the starboard side of the keel
and the outer plates have been fractured
by the buckling strain in at least two
places, making slight leaks which will
necesstate new plates or patches. This
information comes from a preliminary
examination from the interior which has
just been made under great difficulties,
as the DANA ged portion of the ship is be-
meath the boilers and the cement fl ling
renders il impossible TO calculate the full
extent. In this superficial investigation
at least fifty-six rivets were found torn
apart by the tremendous wrench the - ~
sustained. Enough has been learned,
however, TO convince the authorities
here that the vessel struck no floating
debris, mud or sandbar, but banged into
a submerged rock. There is no longer
any doubt that the vessel was badly
managed, whether she failed to respond
promptly to her helm at bends Of the
channel or whether her steam steering
gear was defective as claimed. A court
martial will probably be ordered TO de-
termine whether or not the ship was run
at reckless speed down a narrow wind
ing channel having a maximum depth
scarcely two feet more than the draogit
of vessel

The sugar schedule will be the central
point around which the proceedings in
the senate will revolve this week.
Among other lines Of policy which have
been discussed among the opponents OF
the bill is that of allowing the schedule
TO be accepted as amer ed by the COM
mttee on finance without taking any
vote In committee of the whole, the OBJ
ject being that the opponents of the bill
shall not be forced TO show their hands
at this time, and especially that they
may refrain from exhibiting their sup
posed strength among democratic and
populist senators.

The debate in the house on resurrect-
ing state banks gathers energy as it pro-
ceeds. 1t had been the purpose to get a
vote this week, but the demand for time
TO speak has been so great that the de-
bate is expected to run through the next
ten days. The state bank leaders have
reached the conclusion since the debate
began that they will command about lao
votes for one OF the various plans Of re-
peal. They say that with a full attend
ance this vote may fall short of carrying
the repeal, but that IL will carry, In an
average attendance. These l40 votes
represent rapid growth of state banks
strength since the last congress, when
the bill Of Representative Richardson
CTenn) for the unconditional repeal Of
this tax secured only 81 votes, with lYS
against. and 127 not voting. This vote Of
two years ago is now being recalled, as it
puts on record many members OF the
present house II shows that OF the pres
ent members 80 are committed for repeal
and Sc against.

How He Found Out.

He was anxious to discover her age
and she also had some curiosity to know
how many milestones he had passed
along the journey of life.
As rule, up to a certain period, q
man is willing to tell the number of his
years.
As a rule, a woman never is.
At least that's what the cynics say.
In any event, this particular woman
had not told this overparticular man
how old or how young she was and she
didn't intend to if she could attain her
object otherwise.
And the man was like unto the wo-
man.
Yet they contemplated entering the
perennial partnership.
In order TO humor her pretty, youth
full whim he pretended advanced age
and treated her most paternally.
Nor did she resent this, yet she hoped
inwardly that he was not so old as he
pretended to be.
One evening, when matters were APP
preaching crisis, he said to her very
softly:
"Ah, my dear, how very young you
are. Why, am twenty-five years older
than you are"
He had pressed the button.
"Gracious!" she exclaimed i'm amaze
ment, "you are not that old, are you?"
She had done the rest.
Then they both confessed and they
lived happily ever after.-Detroa Free

STOPPED THE TRAIN.
Sheriff of Hancock County In Trou
BILE Cited to Appear Before
Judge Barr.

LOUISVILLE, Sept, ll.-Judge Helm,
attorney for the l.. st. l.. and T. railroad,
filed a petition this morning asking that
Sheriff G. G. Baker, OF Hancock county,
be brought into court and be made to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt. 1t is alleged that
the sheriff seized one OF the cars of the
railroad while the train was passing
through Hawesville yesterday, and at
tempted to hold it to secure a judgment
rendered against the railroad in the
Hancock circuit court. The conductor
in charge of the train refused to recog-
niz, the sheriff's authority, and the
latter then tried to make the railroad
man a special bailif to take care of the
car. AS the railroad is in the hands OF a
receiver, appointed by the federal court,
the application for contempt proceedings
was filed there. Judge Barr ruled that
Sheriff Baker should answer in this city
