GOING ABOUT INcocNITo.
How the French President Made q Girl
Faint.

The example of the Caliph Haroun al
Raschid, who used to go nightly in dis
guise among his people in order to see
how the laws were being enforced, is
not often followed by modern European
sovereigns, says the Youths Companion.
Photography has made the features of
monarchs SO familiar to the people that
a disguise is practically impossible, and
moreover, assassins lurk at every cor
ner.
Nevertheless, there are heads Of state,
even in Europe, who go about unat-
tended. The Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria, who is probably as little in
danger of assassination as any potentate
in Europe, is one of these.
Another is Monsieur Casimir-P Perier,
president of the French republic, who
has not since his election, given up his
practice of walking alone on the boule-
wards in the midst of his Parisians.
During the recent summer, just be-
fore the presidents departure for his
chateau in the country at Pont Sur
Seine, plain-looking man, with par
eel wrapped in newspaper, came into
a toy-shop on one of the boulevards
and began to undo his package.
"Mademoiselle, he said to a young
woman at the counter, 81 have here
little photographic doll which has been
slightly crushed in. Can it be re-
pafredp"
The girl looked at it.
Certainly, sir, she said.
"And can it be sent to me in the coun-
tryP"
Eyes, sir. What is the address?"
Monsieur Casimir-P Pont Sur
Seine, Aube."
The girl at the counter who had not
dreamed that she was dealing with the
president of the republic was SO much
overcome that she tainted on the spot.
The proprietors and others came rush
ing up and the unfortunate president
for the moment wished that he were a
little more obscure.
The king of Italy sometimes makes
similar excursions in Rome. On one of
these he was heavily run into by an in
toxicated man, who, however, immedi-
ately recognized the king and fell upon
his knees, half-sobered and stammering
excuses.
The king, instead of having the
drunkard arrested, did what he could
for him, thinking possibly to turn him
from his evil habits.

With a ProViso.

A certain Judge, who is blessed with
a tremendous head of hair, which is
generally in a state of wild disorder,
was questioning youthful witness to
make sure that he comprehended the
character and importance of the oath
he was about to take.
"Boy," he said, with his severest and
most magisterial manner, "do you feel
sure that you could identify me after
six months? Now be careful. Think
before you speak"
well, your honor" replied the boy,
after prolonged survey of the judges
portly figure and rugged features. Il
amt sure but 1 think l could if you
wasn't to comb your hair. "-PhtladeI-

Blackstone VS.. the Justice.

A certain justice of the peace, having
arrived, previous to trial, at conclu-
sion upon a question of law highly
satisfactory to himself, refused to enter
tain an argument by the opposing
counsel.
"If your honor pleases," the counsel
replied, should like to cite few
authorities upon the point"
Here he was sharply interrupted by
the justice, who stated:
"The court knows the law and is
thoroughly advised in the premises, and
has given its opinion and that settles 1t. 4"
at was not" continued counsel,
with an idea of convincing your honor
that you are wrong, but l should like
to show you what fool Blackstone

Mrs. Jones-Wasn't that a powerful

Deacon Jones-Oh, Smith is a good

never was a hardened sinner in the

Mou1dn,t Use False Keys.

The notion that alcohol may do good
because, for moment, it seems to do
good was well answered by physi-
clans response to man who was some
what too much given to the pleasures
of the table. This man had said to the
doctor:
"What do you think of the influence
of alcohol on the digestion, doctor?
'I think that its influence is bad,
said the physician.
"But a little whisky taken just be-
fore meal is the only key that will
open my appetite, doctor"
81 don't believe in opening things
with false keys, sir!" answered the 9th
er.
This response was particularly ap-
plicable, for falsely simulated appe-
tite is sure prelude to gestion.-

90 terribly injured.
phe train which ran into the express is the
regular morning accommodation train. In
approaching the bridge the Hackeusack eX-
press slowed up, for what reason is I'M
known, but it is thought the engineer could
not see the signals because Of the dense fog.
The accommodation train following did
not halt at the bridge, The engineer saw the
express when 200 feet from it, Although he
reversed his engine he could not prevent the
collision. The ponderous engine crashed
into the rear car throwing it from the
track and pushing it along the west bound
track for quite distance. This car and
one ahead of it were completely wrecked
Both cars were full of passengers, who were
crushed to death or terribly mangled as
they set in their seats. The engineer and
fireman of the accommodation train are dead
and among others who have died is William
Ferguson of Summit. one of the oldest en-
ployes of the Western Union Telegraph
company i'll this city. who died while being
taken to st. Marv's hospital Hobollcu. Fer
guson's son, Frederic and daughter are
among the injured. In all, l ! persons were
killed and 80 injured The passengers were
mostly people employed in New York and
residing in towns on the line OF the road.

of the soil may retire when they are at home
they do not always keep up the practice
when they get away from the farm. Some

THE SAUNTERER
Hears Some Talk About the Sidewalks and
Finds Proof of an old Adagc.

From Saturdays Daily Free Press.l
The Saunterer has heard during the week
considerable comment on the action of the
city fathers in requesting the superintendent
of streets, city constable and police to strict
ly enforce the ordinance relating to the re-
moval of snow and ice from sidewalks This
comment is more in the line of inquiry than
of criticism. The ordinance referred TO
seems to be u little blind. 1t directs that
the occupant, owner or agent of land or
buildings bordering on the highway shall
cause the snow to be removed within four
hours if in the daytime, and before noon the
next day if the snow ceases to fall during
the night pJOridcd the city snow plow shall
have passed in front of such land or build
ings and shall have failed to make a proper
path in the Judgment of the superintendent
of streets. 1t seems, therefore, to be left
with the superintendent of streets to
decide whether or not property owners
and tenants shall clear the snow
to the tagging, concrete or ground The
aldermen evidently intended that the walks
should be cleaned down to their summer
condition and no one wishes more than does
~ Sauntcrer that it might he done. He
does not expect, however, that it will be.
He noticed on Tuesday. the day after the
aldermen took action in the matter a gang
of men, presumably in the employ of the
city. cleaning the snow on the corners of the
sidewalks on the business streets it being the
evident Intention to let the property owners
or tenants take care of the frontage. And
yet as late as yesterday the snow which fell
last week had not been removed from the
sidewalk in front of several stores on Church
street. For the general good the Samtercr
hopes that residents. at least in the centre of
the city where travel is the heaviest. will
second the commendable efforts of the alder
men toward better walking by cleaning the
snow from their own sidewalks. Those
who from lack of time, inclination on encr-
gy do not care to undertake the task. III
most instances a slight one, can give the
work TO some of the unemployed poor i'll the

than the income. In 1893 the rates were
largely increased but not enough to over

that there is need of education in connection
