later. Before his death he told the Jail
er his name was Edward Dunbar and
that he was the author Of the beautiful
hymn, "There's Light in the Window
for Me-"
The history Of this man was as inter-
esiing as romantic. He lived when a
small boy in New Bedford, Mass, and
worked In the factory. AS the lads
works kept him till after dark his moth

came back his mother died, but she
never failed TO have light placed in
the window every night for her wander

The boy had grown 10 manhood before
he returned, but the story OF his mo-
theirs love so moved him that he re-
formed and became a preacher, writing
as the result OF his own experience the
song that soon made him famous.
In the course OF great revival led
by him In New Bedford he married a
young lady by whom he had several
children. He made a great reputation as
pulpit orator, but one Sunday morn
ing he skipped leaving his family be-
hind.
After going to Kansas he went to Min
neapolis and led big revival during
which he married one OF his converts.
Soon after his arrest was caused by one
OF his friends and he was imprisoned for
bigamy In 1867. Judge Lochrem, the
present commissioner Of pension, defend

attorneys secured Mrs. Dunbar's divorce
and married her himself.
Early in his ministerial career Dunbar
led reyivals in Kansas and he will be
well remembered by old residents Of
Kenncbuck, where he used to lead souls
to Christ in the old Washington hall.

RAILROADS

The community throughout which
the INDEx has pretty general circu-
lation and gets liberal support, has
proposition OF getting railroad confron-
ting them. Each farm that is brought
within more convenient radius OF
Better and more extensive market will
appreciate considerably In value. The
products Of the orchards which ordinary
wagon transportation almost prechdes
completely from shipment, can be con
vcniently and profitably carried TO mar
ket without deterioration, by being
shaken up and injured in appearance
and character. Delicate fruits such
as Strawberries and properly ripe peaches
will not bear slow aud rough transpor-
taiion over any considerable distance by
wagons. Hence transportation by rail
is a necessity for sections adapted 70 the
production Of delicate and perishable
products.
The complaint that II will not pay to
raise hay and grain because their is no
local market to consume them, shall
cease 10 have SO much foundation

impulse that railroads are an agency

But sometimes after communities have
secured railroad facilities and unaccus-
toned changes are introduced. people
sometimes easily forget how keenly they

when they find that individuals have

proud to, have Scr a constituency. ar,

Near Fayetteville, N. c., four per-
sons standing in yard near house
heard whlzZing sound and saw ba!l OF
fire descending toward them. An instant
later it exploded with stunning report,
and all four were knocked down and were
insensible for several minutes. One
was partially paralyzed. Near them was
an OK, which was killed instantly.
An English visitor In Washington
was asked, at the Country Club, the 9th.

the American people impressed him
most forcibly. Without the slightest
hesitation he replied: "Their love OF

you were all democrats and republicans
and had q contempt for titles and that
sort of thing; but I'll be blessed If I've
seen dozen men In Washington with

Danger of Blood Poisoning.

A medical paper commits itself to
the statement that many lives are lost
each year in consequence Of the lack
of o little common sense respecting
simple cuts or wounds on the hands or
other parts. Several cases have been
recorded Of inquests relating to per-
sons who have died from blood poison
ing arising from small cuts on the
hands. The history in all Of these
cases varies but little, and is practi-
cally the same. A man, for example,
while working at this trade, or even
while carrying out the simple detail
of cutting piece Of bread, receives a
small cut on the hand. The injury is
so trivial that anything is considered
good enough with which to stop the
bleeding, and this end having been
attained no more is thought of it. The
small wound is left to take care Of
itself, and is exposed to all sorts of
flthiness and sources Of infection. BY
good luck, nothing may happen; but
the public will do well to bear in mind
that from the most trivial injury to
the skin acute septicaemia may super
vene, and may rapidly be followed by
fatal termination. BY thorough at.
tention to cleanliness the untoward
consequences of wound liable to be-
come infected can be effectually pre-
vented. On the other hand, when the
septicaemic attack has declared itself,
as rule little can be done by the sur
geon to stem the virulence with which
it develops. It should, therefore, be
borne in mind that so long as wounds,
however small, remain unhealed, the
risk Of contracting blood poisoning
will always be present.-Ne'o York
Dispatch.

Sam Jones on Politics.

"The Third Party or party of the Third
Party, or whatever you cali it, may get
to Heaven, but they'll never get to
Washington. It's not on the way.
Washington is the wickedest place on
earth. It is the home Of the devil. The
average Democrat and Republican poll
ticians are little better than rascals,
but the Third Party man is fool.
You can reform a rascal, but did you
ever undertake to monkey with fool?
"They want to borrow money from the
Government at per cent, when the Gov
ernment is now borrowing at 5. We
hear great deal of fools talking about
the rich getting richer and the poor
poorer under the present laws. There
never was greater lie and I'll prove it."
He cited the cases of Vanderbilt, Stew
art, Gould, Carnegie and others all Of
whom had started from humble begin
nings.
"Theres nothing the matter with the
law. It's the man that's at fault. There's
lawyer on that side of the House who
makes $40. 1000 year. Here's little pet
tifogger whose family is starving. The
law is not to Elame. It's the man him
self. Here's physician making 10000
year. There's little doctor in the cor
ner that can't mako his salt. The law is
not to blame. I preach nearly every day
to 5000 people and here's little preach
er sitting behind me who can't average
200. The trouble is not in the law, broth
or, it's in your noggin."
1.-THE difference Is organic. If all the
wealth of the United States were divided
out to-day each man would get about
81, ,160 and in less than six months some
fellows would be riding in palace cars and
the others would be walking crossties
and bowling for another divvy."-Velas'

That Incubator Baby.

New YORK, May 26.-Having lain dor
mant in her wire cradle in the Robinson
baby incubator exactly three months,
the baby heiress of Edward Clarence
Haight has now been removed, placed in
swaddling clothes and turned over to the
manipulations of her trained nurse.
Little Miss Haight, it will be remember
ed, was prematurely born on Feb. "a.
She arrived three months earlier than
was expected, and her mother, nee Flor
ence Hedden Granger, died In giving her
birth, after DR.. Carleton and his assistants
had exhausted their scientific resources
to save the mothers life.
DIR. Carleton determined to try to save
the infant, and sent hurried note to the
w. +. Ford Surgical Instrument COM
pany. Mr.. Ford telegraphed to William
6. Robinson, tinsmith, the inventor and
maker of baby incubators. Robinson
hurriedly drove up to the Haight man
sion with his apparatus, and the fragile,
feeble and almost inanimate infant was
placed inside.
There she has remained for three
months, having been taken out but twice
or thrice daily for moment while her
toilet was hastily made The young lady
was fed upon medicated milk. Yearning
eyes watched her day and night. AS she
grew older and stronger she stretched her
little limbs, shrugged her wee shoulders
and yawned-wondering, no doubt, what
all the fuss was about.
Under ordinary circumstances she
should have been born May "a, instead OF
three months ago, but she commenced
her natural life with three months
novel experience. Soon she will be
christened. She looks very comfortable
in her new clothes.

From Cabin to Castle.

A recent news item in tho New York
Herald affords striking illustration OF
the possibilities CT life in this wonderful
country.
Thirty years ago Thomas Nevins, poor
farmers boy on the estate Of Lord killeen
in County Meath, ireland, came over to
this country to seek his fortune. He set
tied at Orange, N. j., became contractor
for street building and railway work, and
in the course of time he accumulated
many millions of dollars.
A few months ago Nevins got the idea
into his head that it would be fine thing
to purchase the historic castle under the
shadow of whose feudal towers he had
labored in his days of poverty. He found
thet the present Lord killeen was in
need of money and finally succeeded in
persuading him to sell his residence for
100000.
And so the ancient stronghold is now
the property of man who would not
have been admitted within its gates thir-
ty years ago. The castle is rich in bis
tory. It was built in the eleventh CEN
tury, and sheltered the cowardly King
John before his barons bulldozed him into
signing the great charter.
The story shows what man can do in
this country. Many foreigner, like
Nevins, comes here poor aud unknown,
and before he dies makes fame and for
tune. But do you ever hear of q penni,,
less American laborer going to Ireland
or to England and then coming back with
money enough to purchase one Of the
Vanderbilt or Astor palaces? There is
no such case on record. The golden
prizes for brains, pluck and industry
must be sought for in this land Of prom.
Use, where every man has fair field and
a fighting chance.-AHantG Constitution.

man was shot and killed in the city last
night by negro woman. She claims it
was entirely accidental. but there are
some who doubt this statement. 1t took
place at the woman's house, and the
facts are about as follows go far as devel-
oped:
The woman has been the mistress of
the man for some time. 1t is said that
they QUAR- lied on the street in the after
noon, and those who live in the neigh.
borhood say that there was quarreling at
the house last night just before the shoot
ing took place. The man was outside
the door when shot and the woman
claims that she knew nothing of his being
out there. She says she had only taken
up the gun to move it and it went of &C
cideptslly and the load went through
the door panel and killed the man in
stantly, shooting him through the throat.
After time the door was opened and
to the surprise of those in the house, as
they claim, they found the dead body on
the piazza. The woman who ad mits hav-

A Southern Experiment.

A Memphis paper calls attention to a
successful farming experiment near Syc-
amore, Ala.
It seems that two brothers are operat-
Ing on ive-thousand-acre tract of land.
They employ eighty-four whites and not
a single negro. They raise all the food
crops necessary for the people and the
stock in their little community, and all
the meat they Iced, but cotton is their
principal crop. But they do not ship
their cotton to northern markets to be
worked up in eastern mills. A mill on
the plantation manufactures the cotton
into yarns and another mill grinds the
seed into oil. The yarn mill cost Sll3,-
900 and pays handsome profit.
The success of this experiment should
convince northern farmers who are seek
ing southern homes that they can come
down here and get along prosperously
with white labor alone, if they prefer it..
This, however, is not the main lesson
taught by the Sycamore enterprise. The
two brothers who are running this large
plantation have made it plain that it is
possible to establish small farming COM
munities in the South that will be self
supporting and practically independent.
The experiment suggests new possibili'
ties for southern agriculture.-Attanta
