 From Otto Rollwage we learn of the narrow escape from death which was v0uchsafed Judge Grant Green, jr., at Fair Oaks on Wednesday morning of last week. In attempting to board moving train, Judge Green missed the hand hold and was thrown to the ground between the platform and the rail. He had presence of mind to he low, and when the train had passed, was unhurt save few slight bruises and a big scare. Trainmen witnessed the accident, the train was stopped, ho was taken aboard, and received the congratulations of all present,

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

The history of the St. Louis Exposi-
 tion which opens Sept, 5th, and closes Oct, 20, 1894, is without rival in the
 history of annual State Propositions.
 Its success for the past ten years, and
 particularly last year, notwithstanding
 other attractionS-nOtably the Colum-
 bian Exposition, which Exposition was
 greater and grander than any ever
 held in the caritols of Europe-the St.
 Louis Exposition was filled with ex-
 hibits. and made mOney-nearly $25.-
 900; making the history of the St. Louis
 Exposition unrivalled, and its future
 sure for years to come.
 The season of 1894 is already assured.
 The exhibit made by the State of Mis-
 souri at the Columbian Exposition was
 brought intact to the St. Louis Exposi-
 tiOn for exhibition; and is now being
 put in place. The exhibit consists of
 all the Missouri exhibits, and will i'm
 press every Mlssonrian, as well as every
 citizen of the United States, with the
 resources of the State of Missouri. The
 Horticultural, Agricultural, Mineral and Forestry exhibits. with that of the System of Popular Education through out the State, and our own Public
 Schools of St. Louis, will be shown to the best advantage. In the Forestry exhibit will also be seen collection of woods from the State of Amazon. Brazil kindly donated to the St. Louis Exposition by the Brazilian Commis- sioDer The Art Department will be filled with the very best pictures; and all other departments will be replete with fine exhibits of every description and variety.
 Sousa's Grand Concert Band will give four concerts daily. Other at fractions will be added in the way of vocal and instrumental artists of ap- proved merit and reputation.
 Reduced passenger rates, as low as any in the past. have been made by all railroads centering in St. Louis.
 In one word, the St. Louis ExpOsi- tion for 1894 will excel many of it's pre- vious Ex positions. The Worlds Fair
 has past into history as one of the greatest Fairs ever held, and the man. agement of the St. Louls Exposition in announcing the opening of the Eleventh
 St. Louis Exposition do so with the confidence merited by it's success in the past ten years. in giving the people of St. Louis and the surrounding country an unsurpassed Annual Exposition.

T. MeriWether Marks Humorous
 Sketches.

A short branch railroad, running out into western Texas, had only been completed a short time, and daily trains ran from the frontier town to the city. One morning cowboy, we'll known to the conductor, and in fact everybody in those parts, entered the train bound for the city. This cowboy was full of fun, and on this particular morning he could help letting some of it run over. The conductor came up to him, smiled and said:
 Ticket 1"
 This is my ticket" said the cowboy presenting his pistol.
 All right, sir, aii right. Perfectly satisfactory" said the conductor, and he passed on,
 That evening on the return trip, the conductor noticed the cowboy, but took up the tickets from all but him, then he walked up to the cowboy, presented his own pistol and demanded: "Tick- etl"
 "Oh that's different way of putting the question:" and the cowboy dellver- ed the tickets for both trips.
 *.*
 X rough-looking cowboy sat behind a lady with several children in d West Texas train. The conductor approached and demanded tickets and the lady presented them. The conductor exam ined the tickets amp then asked the lady: Where is the ticket for that little girl ?"
 ''She is under age,n said the lady.
 Madam, you are certainly mistaken, the child is old enough to require ticket"
 4'She is my child, I ought to know her age and don't expect to pay"
 Madam, I'expect' you to pay, as I expect the child is over age."
 The cowboy drew forth his "authOr- ity." held it towards the conductor and said, conductor, expect the child is under age"
 The conductor compromised the mat ter ny quickly passing into the next coach.
 During frontier times in Texas, a genus named Billie Trixter, whose name we'll suits his character, was held up by highwayman and made to sur reuder $500 ingold which he was talk ing to the bank. Billie gave up the money i'll pleasant manner, but in- formed the rObber that the money belonged to another man and it would be difficult matter to convince that person that he was robbed.
 II will write you receipt, if that will suit you," said the robber with grin.
 No" said Billie, ''that would do no good but tell you what do. shoot a lot of holes in my coat and can tell him had right smart of scuff1e with you"
 All right, here goes"
 He shot two holes m his coat and three in his hat and Billie then said
 Now put one more through my coat''
 But haven't got arv nuther load" said the robber
 You bet your sweet life l have," said Billie, pulling his own pistol and holding it on the robber. Now you please fork over that kale seed, will you. All right pard. Gcod-by, I'll see vou later" And he rode off leaving the chagrinned robteI to his sad medi- tationS.

AN ANCIENT CHILD.
Being Supported by the Poor District at
Elwyn Home.

Elwyn Home.
The Elwyn Home, situated in Ches-
ter county, Is an institution where
feeble minded children are given a
course of training fitting their peculiar
condition. The Scranton poor district,
since its incorporation, has bsen in the
habit of sending from time to time
feeble minded children to this institu-
ton and paying large sum for their
maintenance and care. At present
eight are being cared for there at the
expense of this district.
Recently, several applications have
been made to the poor board to take
care Of feeble minded children, one
case having come up at the last meet
ing of the board. This brought the
Elwyn Home to the attention of the
board and a committee, consisting OF
John Gibbons and Daniel Williams
and Superintendent Beemer, was ap-
pointed to consider and report on the
matter
This committee has discovered that
one af the children whom Scranton is
supporting at Elwyn is "a years of age,
and two others are nearly out Of their
teens. The committee considers this a
waste Of money. as these "children"
have received all the benefit that can
be derived from the treatment at Ell
wyn, which is only for children, and
consequently they will recommend
that the district refuse to support them
any longer unless their friends are sat
isfied to place them in the Hillside
Home. The committee will go tc
Elwyn next week to take the older pa.
tients away and make room for the
feeble minded children who have OF
late years become charge on the dis
irict.
