some on Him +"

Archie Boyd, at the Grand Opera
house, in "rhe Country Squire"
recalls to mind good joke on that
popular actor.
Last season Mr.. Boyd and his
company were making a jump
from Salt Lake City to Grand
junction, Colorado. The company
had to leave after the performance
at night, and, having had two or
three days hard travel, were feel
ing none too good. The train had
just started and Mr.. Boyd was
awaiting the porter to make
up his berth, when in came
long, lank country man, who
seated himself very comfortably
beside the comedian, remarking:
"Purty cold night, eh" "Rather,"
was the short response. Do what
he could, say what he would the
country man was not successful in
working up conversation.
The porter came along and Mr..
Boyd requested him to max g up
his section. The country man, who
held the upper berth, objected, and
said: "Say Mister, what do you
think | am; a hayseed, to go to
bed with the chickens?" Thorough
Iy Disguised, Mr.. Boyd retired to
the smokers compartment and
tried to compose himself with a
cigar. Soon after his verdant friend
followed, but Mr.. Boyd managed to
lose him and made a run for his
berth, which in the meantime had
been made up.
The greenhorn had worried our
friend to such am extent that after
he had retired, he could not sleep.
A spirit of revenge came over him
and he laid in his bed trying to
think Of some way to play even.
Along came the jay, discovering
his berth made up, muttered queer
things about people "who wanted
to 60 to bed at sunset" Once
in bed and snoring, as only your
true rustic can, a dark scheme
presented itself to Boyd. His
action was quick. Leaning over
the edge Of the berth, he grabbed
the enemy's shoes, opened the car
car window softly, and threw them
out, remarking, "Now Pm even,"
and went to sleep.
Morning came and Mr.. Boyd was
awakened as they neared Grand
Junction. Hastily dressing him
self he looked for his shoes, and
along came his friend OF the night
before. "Hello mister you be one
of those fellows who 60 to bed early
and get up late, ar'nt you?" Boyd
was thunderstruck. The fellow
had his shoes on. Who's shoes had
he thrown out of the window?
Boyd walked 70 the hotel in pair
of slippers.

PRESERVED IN BRANDY,
And the Corpse Brought to New
York

York.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 90
The body Of Joachim Infante, a
wealthy wholesale cigar dealer and
manufacturer of this city and a
member Of an old and highly re-
speeted Castilian family, arrived on
the steamship California last night.
Mr.. Infante died suddenly from
apoplexy when the vessel was four
days out from Gibraltar. Last
spring his son committed suicide
while laboring under a temporary
fit OF insanity. This so preyed on
the old mans mind that he decided
on taking trip to Europe with his
family, and he was on his way
home when death overlook him.
The captain Of the ship desired to
bury him at sea, but the wife and
daughter OF the dead man pleaded
so hard that he finally decided to
bring the body to this port. The
ships carpenter made a coffin and
lined it with tin. Then twenty
cases of brandy were poured in and
the coffin sealed with cement. The
remains were in a good state Of
preservation when the coffin was
opened at the undertaker's last
night

lie Saves the Lives of Nearly Fifty Men
In a ColIiery.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 17-At the
Stevens col1iery in West Pittston Sat
urday night the engineer, Thomas
Lloyd, discovered that the engine house
was On fire. He made an effort to ex-
tinguish the flames with a few buck
cts of water, but was unsuccessful.
There were forty-six men in the mine,
to whom he telephoned an alarm. The
man at the bottom of the shaft told
the men to throw down their tools and
get on the cage as quickly as possible.
BY this time the flames had surround
ed the engineer. At last he got the
signal, and brought up the cage with
lightning speed. Eighteen men were
aboard. The carriage was then re-
turned to the mine for the second load
On this trip ten men were brought UP.
The side of the building then collapsed
and the burning timber fell all around
the engineer, who still remained at
his post. At last the remaining men
got on the cage and in a few minutes
all were brought to the surface safely.
The engineer tainted from the excite
ment and exhaustion, but was quickly
rescued by the members of the local
fire department. He was badly burned
about the face and hands, but will re-
cover.

New York, Dec. 17.-Samuel G. See
ly, the National Shoe and Leather
Bank embezzler, was visited in Jail
yesterday by his wife. Seely bore
himself well while his wife was pres
ent, but the moment she was outside
he broke down and wept. Lawyer
Angel refused to state what course he
intended to take in regard to Seely's
pleading. He said: II cannot tell you
whether Seely will plead guilty until
he is brought UP before Judge Bene-
dict in the United States Court
thiI' / could get Seely off under the
present indictment, but if I did Of
course another would be framed which
would leave no hope of escape" This
would seem to indicate that Seely will
plead guilty when arraigned in court.
Seely was brought into court at
noon and pleaded guilty to the charge
of making false entries in the banks
books and abstracting it's funds. He
was remanded until Friday for SEN
