But In Doing So He Came Near Sliding on
the Niagara Ice Mountain.
Two we'll known travelling passenger
agents had an exciting time here the
other day. John E. Burke of the Louis
Vile and Nashville and William Kelly,
Jr., of the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST..
Paul were in the city on business. In
company with Local Passenger Agent
B. B. Dennison of the New York Cen
trail they visited the ice bridge. The
party climbed the ice mountain, and
while on the brink Burke's hat was
blown off and began to roll down the
ice On the side of the mountain toward
the American falls.
Burke, without thinking of his dan
ger, dropped down on his stomach to
lean over and secure the hat. He be-
gan to slip down the side of the ice
mountain toward the whirling water
and certain death. He shouted, 'Help
mel"
+, And Kelly, leaning over, caught his
foot. The ice was slippery, and Kelly
lost his footing, and he, too. began to
slip.
Dennison, who is a big, powerful
man, grabbed Kelly's legs, and thus the
three men formed loop over the top
of the mountain. Burke shouted, "For
Gods sake, boys, don't let goi" DEN
nison managed to get Kelly over to his
side of the mountain, and then they
pulled Burke up. He brought his hat
with him. m.-Niagara Falls Cor. New

PROTECTED BY HIS DOGS.

How = Famous nIOonshiner SO Long Evaded
Capture by Revenue Onhcers.
The most noted mountaineer in West
Virginia aud perhaps in Kentucky and
North Carolina, Jim Day, has at last
been captured. The government Off
GERS have been trying to arrest Day for
over 10 years, but failed on every occa-
sion. Day, who is a tall, muscular,
shrewd looking fellow, has been rum
ming illicit stills for over is years. Dur
Ing this time he had sometimes as many
as dozen stills running at one time.
The stills were located in the depths
Of the primitive forests or in caves in
the mountain sides long distance from
roadways and trails. The stills are al
ways located near some prominent
height or at a point from which a guard
or spy, constantly on the alert, could
overlook all approaches and advise his
companions Of the vicinity of suspi-
cious looking strangers. Time and again
revenue officers have attempted to way
lay and ambush Day. They found roads
and trails over which it was known he
would be forced to travel, and they
then placed squads in ambush, but al
though Day had been seen CT traced
along the road he always slipped through
their fingers without a scratch.
At last the secret of his success in
evading the officers became known.
Day had q number of thoroughbred dogs
which he had trained to scent out rev.
enue officers or strangers and to notify
him of their presence long before they
could come in sight. When travelling
over the routes or trails leading to and
from any of his stills, two of Days
dogs always trotted along in front sew
eral hundred yards, taking opposite
sides Of the road. Two would fall back
In the rear, and one would advance like
scout on each side.
In case Of an ambuscade the dogs in
front would scent the presence of the
deputy marshals before they got within
hundred yards Of them. They would
return quickly to their master and in
form him by their actions Of the pres
ence of the enemy. Day would then
take to the woods to the right or left,
with dog in advance, and pass around
an ambuscade without being seen. In
case pursuers should come up behind,
Days dogs, which had been trailing
along, would quickly hear or scent them
and then would hurry forward to their
master, who, knowing by their actions
how close the enemy was, could easily
evade them.-St. Louis Republic.

Professor Horsley's discovery.

Not only the medical world, but the
laity also, have been highly interested
by the evidence adduced by Professor
Horsley in alecture the other day, prov
ing that prehistoric man in the stone
age frequently performed the dangerous
and delicate operation of trepanning.
He had found so skulls in collections of
these relics on which the operation had
undoubtedly been performed. In one
case it had been done by drilling series
of small holes probably with bone i'm
plement and then breaking small parti-
sions and so releasing piece of bone.
Another operation seems to have been
performed with a flint saw. A third
method was scraping. This discovery
is the most important proof yet discov-
cred Of the high intelligence Of the un-
recorded races. London News.

Voice Restored by Sudden Grief.

The shock of her husbands sudden
death few nights ago caused Mrs.
George S. Roberts to regain her voice,
which she lost from bronchial trouble
over nine years ago. Mr.. Roberts died
of heart disease after an illness of but
a few moments. The wife cried aloud
in her sorrow, and to her surprise and
that of her daughter her voice sounded
clear and strong. Since her attack she
had not spoken above a whisper. The
voice she suddenly regained seems des-
tined to remain, for she is now convers-
ing freely and clearly with her friends.

During the worlds fair the marine
exhibit was one of the principal attrac-
tions, and the same result was looked
for here. AS a natural consequence
there was considerable rivalry to obtain
the same concession at the midwinter
fair. The award was finally made by
the executive committee to a man who,
upon investigation, proved to be the
gardener for Alex Badlam, who, as secre-
tary Of the local exposition, had taken
advantage of his position to secure the
concession for himself, using his gardener
as dummy bidder.
1t is needless to say that the marine
exhibit at the fair grounds is in keeping
with all OF Badlam'e undertakings, the
inhabitants OF the sea on exhibition be-
ing of the commonest kind. The
