a Paeg From Alm 2st a stranger.

The man about town who is always noddng
to people and making himself agreeable even
to comparative strangers had little expert
ence the other day which goes to prove that
pOlteness and cIvility sometimes pay in a
financial as well as social seLse saws the
New \ Ork tribune. He was standing IN the
railroad station in Baltimore, waiting for the
train to New York, when he noticed a man
who kept 2 ancing at him. Every time he
looked in the direction of the stranger he
noticed that his eyes were turned toward him
Stroliing over that way, he bowed to the
stranger.
Il beg your pardon, he said, but thought
you recognized me-"

SO his nodding was his passport.

Singing for His Life.

John AteI, a celebrated singer and mu.
stefan who lived in the reign OF Charles II,

would not perform unless he pleased, says
the Burlington Gazette. There is funny
story told Of how he was once made to sing
against his win.

DR.. Depew on Rate Cutting.
From Springfield lMass.) Republican dnd}.

era lncey DeDew brings backfrom h Is latest
western trip the information that rate cut
ting is as persistent "a ever and the one Oh
stacle to improl enent in the railway situa-
ton. This rate cutting, as he says. makes a
g2moIe OF business and fosters the large
shipper at the expense of the small one. AS
a breeder of monopoly. and creator of trusts
and destroyer of private enterprise and
thrift, the rate cutter is the most potent
agency in the United States" That IS about
the truth of the matter.

At Decatur, in the upper end of DeKalb
county this state, the Georgia railroad
buried negro its train had killed along
sice of its track uron it's rightof- way
A coroner's jury had passed UPON the
killing and turned the body over to the
company for interment. The burial was
made about a mile out of the village, and
in front of the residence of MIR. Meade
Mr.. Meade complained to the county
commissioners for relief, but these gen
tlemen expressed the opinion that the
railroad company had a right to use Its
right-of-way for cemetery if it chose /;
as much right as a man would have TO
inter body in his garden in the absence
of municipal law forbiddng such trans
action, hence they could afford him no
relief. Mr. Meade will try elsewhere to
see if he cannot have the embryo Gem
etery removed from before his door
Considered in another light, it would be
rather a peculiar advertisement for a
railroad to plant its victims alongside its
tracks, even though it saved a few dol
lars.

The earthquakes of the past few weeks,
and there have been several in various
parts of the world, seem to be of an unus-
ually severe and fatal character The
disturbances in Greece recently were al
most unprecedented in destruction of
both lives and property, and it appears,
from the meagre reports received, that
the quake in Venezuela ten days ago was
hardly less disastrous than the quakes on
the other side of the ocean. The people
of this country certainly have abundant
reason for profound gratitude that they
live in a section of the world seldom visi-
ted by severe earthquake shocks.

Mr.. Richard Croker being now out of
the Tammany leadership, the question of
his successor becomes one of interest. to
the county at large as well as to New
York, because Tammany, the greatest
political organization in the country ex-
cept the big parties themselves, exerts a
powerful influence upon national affairs
Among the stories worthy of attention in
that connection is one to the effect that
Tammany is making overtures to the in
dependent element of the democracy and
has offered the nomination for mayor of
New York to Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry. the
famous reformer; that Mr. Frederic II.
Coudert, the lawyer, was the ambassador
70 Mr.. Gerry, aud that in the event of his
acceptance, Mayor Gilroywill succeed Mr.
Croker as the Tammany leader. Mr.
Gerry's nomination by Tammany, it is
calculated, would draw the club men and
DC sop TO the mugwumps.

The last census showed the Baptist
to be one of the most vigorous of the
evangelical churches in this country.
Compared with the other denominations,
IL ranks among the first as to numbers of

although it is not as rich as some of the
older churches. AS measure of its in
fiuence and wide ramifcations, it may be
noted that the current convention at

the greatest religious UNCONVENTIONAL

from the four quarters of the globe.

the Hon. Patrick Walsh win be a candi-
date not only for the six months of the
unexpired term of Senator Colquitt, but
for the full term of six years following,
indicates that another corner, and a pretty
rugged corner at that, will be added to
the senatorial fight in the legislature. It
is quite solid fact that no candidate of
the lot is going to have a walk-over for
that seat. The man who gets it has got
to earn it. The earning, by the way, is
probably pretty well along already.
