Down the long halls when we were Young
We'd never scurried off 10 bed

Ga2ed softly with mesIneric light;
When mother bent above our bed

a THIEF

Saindo. one of the ~cleverest OF the
Paris detectives. was one dav making
his round OF the Quarter du Temple,
when he found himself in q group list
ening to q man selling silver watches
for five francs each. Saindo bought
one, and. having assured himself that
ii was genuine, came to the not un-
natural conclusion that these watche
could not have been come by honestly.
The vender was, however, a giant,
and Saindo is by no means blessed with
large proportions. He furthermore
argued that there we're confederatss
among the group. In a minute or two
he had formed a plan. He asked the
man TO take a glass of wine. saying
that he meant to purchase another
watch. The offer was accepted, and a
second watch was rendered, which
Saindo pretended TO examine. he,
however, suddenly took TO his heels,
watch in hand. Thercupon the vender
pursued, crying:
stop thief"
When Saindo got him Us far as the
police station he turned around
clutched the other toy the throat. and,
to the great establishment OF every one
led his captive inside

A woman of Carrolton, KY, thought
that she would be able to stop leak in
the bottom Of an iron pot by driving a
piece Of lead into it. So she got one of
her husbands pistol cartridges out of a
drawer and began the driving process
with hammer. Now, the good lady
didn't understand the philosophy of a
cartridge and never dreamed that it
would explode from the conclusion of a
hammer, seeing no powder about the
thing. But there Is no knowledge as
that which comes from experience, al
though the price paid in that way is
sometimes very high. This cartridge
exploded, and the flesh of the thumb
and finger with which she held 1t was
considerably torn. And that old pot
still leaks as it did before. louisville

Hurd of New York, without sojourn
in Alexandria and voyage Of four or
five weeks up the Nile. The river itself,
1 must say, did at first sadly disappoint
me. We Americans are apt to be rather
exaoting in the matter Of rivers, nat
urally enough, considering the beauty
and grandeur of our own. When l saw
the strong stream In the hot sunshine,
looking like floating mud rather than
water, hated to believe 1t the Nile Of

sun went down and the moon gilded,
not silvered, the stream, then ii became

DOWN A MOUNTAIN SIDE.


AsHEvILLE, N. c., Oct. l0.-The south
bound freight on the Asheville and Spar
tanburg railroad ran away down a heavy
grade ON Saluda mountain yesterday. Tho
crew remained on the flying train, which
ran to the bottom of the grade, four miles,
and then left the track, the engine and
twelve cars piling up in deep cut.
The first train from the wreck came in
last night, bringing the body Of Neal Ewing,
an Asheyille stonecutter, who was stealing
ride south. 1t Is now believed that three
of the trains crew were killed, although
the bodies of Engineer Broom and Brake
man Allen have not yet been found. Firo-
man York = body was found, but the wreck
ing crew have not been able to reach 1t.
Conductor Patton had u leg crushed and
his skull slightly fractured. The leg was
amputated and there are chances for his
recovery. John Miller, colored, a brake
man, jumped and was slightly hurt. Others
of the crew stood to their post to the last.
Daniel Owens, stockman, was in the
caboose, but escaped unhurt. He had q
car load Of cattle on the train, and every
one was killed. Flagman Painter escaped
without scratch, though he was on top
of the car when the wreck occurred. 1t is
reported that two boys, friends of Ewing,
were beating a ride with him and were
killed, but this cannot be verified. The
grade where the train ran away is four
miles long, and averages fifteen feet to the
mile. Tho runaway began half mile

EXTENSIVE PENSION FRAUDS.


DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. l0.-Special Exam
liner E. f. Waite, of the pension bureau, in
obedience to the order Of Judge Shiras, in
the federal court has filed the documents
captured in the famous tin box in Pension
Agent George H. Van Luen S private office
at Little Springs, Ia. These documents are
mostly In the form of correspondence, in
eliminating upon its face, between Van
Luen and certain boards of medical exam
liners, with whom be had relations. Nearly
all of the numerous indictments found
against the pension attorney are based
upon these letters.
Some of the documents show that afti-
davits as to physical disability We're bought
from physicians at an average rate of about
fifty cents a line. Ono letter makes an
offer to a physician at Lincoln, Neb., to
pay $5 for an affidavit covering diseases OF
of the stomach, deafness and heart disease.
The doctor sent the affidavit, but demanded
$40 for it. This physician, whose name is
not revealed, has since testified that he has
made a large number of affidavits, and
that his price ranged from s. to $40.
Affidavits were made to cover nearly all
the diseases known, and in order to get
the applicants before examining boards
with whom he was friendly printed forms
were used for af1idavlts, and the claimants
were asked to copy these in their own hand
writing Many did so, not realizing whae
they were doing. The filing of the papers
is a surprise to the defense, which did mob
want them made public, its idea being
simply to get access to them.

Dear Madam: Your letter came to me

question has awakened sentiment and
an interest in the Delaware Union for Pub
lie Good.
For long time | have despondngly

cheer TO my heart, for such cooperation
as your society can afford the W. C. I. U.

The prison system of Delaware is a blot

LONDON, Oct. 10.-Tho correspondent of
The Standard at st. Petersburg telegruphs
that he has learned from an eye witness
that Professor Zacharin, while in attend
ance upon the car, said to him: "Your
majesty's malady is incurable. With care
and attention your valuable life may be
prolonged for some months, but it is use
less to conceal the fact that no remedies
will avail beyond certain period" The
marriage of the czarowtz to Princess
Alix of Hesse Is probably remote, the tra-
dition being that no Russian emperor
should marry until year after his corona
