Just an Incident of New York.

A hand-organ was responsible the other
day for an accident, a display of cool
ness and courage, al exchange of cour-
tesies and, what always delights Ameri-
cans. because it excites them, thrilling
scene. A horseback rider, coming down
Riverside drive at a sharp trot, turned
into w. Seventy-second-st. Down West
End-ave. rolled a handsome victoria, in
which were & man and a woman. In
Seventy-second-st., east of West End
ave-, stood a son of Italy, grinding out
his tunes from a Cabient organ on
wheels. The victoria came around into
SeYenty-second-St. just in time to be
slightly in advance Of the horseman. His
steed was a spirited one, and only the
firm hand on the reins kept il in check
The rider had just come abreast of the
victoria when his steed, alarmed by the
organ. gave a sudden plunge to the left
and crashed into the victoria. To those
who saw the leap and heard the noise
1t seemed as if the horse had gone clear
through the carriage, and then they saw
that the steed was riderless and plung-
ing, while the woman in the carriage
was screaming loudly.
In the next instant there arose from
between the victoria and the frenzied
steed the horseman, clingipg to his
horses bride. He had been hurt when

The Real old Maid.

The real old maid is like any other
woman, writes Junius Henri Browne in
an interesting study Of the question, Are
Old Maids Unattractive?" in the June
Home Journal. She has faults neces-
sarily, though not those commonly con-
ceived of. She is often plump. pretty,
amiable, interesting. intellectual, cult
tured. warm-hearted, benevolent, and has
ardent friends Of both sexes. These con-
stantly wonder why she has not married,
for they feel that she must have had
many opportunities. Some of them may
know why she may have made them
her confidantes. She usually has a SEN
timental, romantic, frequently a sad and
pathetic past. of which she does not
speak. unless in the sacredness of init
macy. She is not dissatisfied, querulous
nor envious. On the contrary, she is
for the most part. singularly content,
patfent and serene

A Lion and Lamb.

1.-THE hardest thing to train a wild
beast to do Is TO perform with a weak,
defenseless ANIMAL" remarked A. L.
Hutchins, an old circus and menagerie
hand, who has deserted the arena and
ring for mercantile pursuits. IT remem-
Der once several years ago an effort be-
ing made to persuade a very docile lion
to lie down with a lamb. The idea was
certainly a good one, but II took several
lambs and also several weeks before the
lion, which was willing 10 jump through
a burning hoop. sham death on being
shot. etc, could be persuaded to allow a
lamb to enter his den with impunity.
Twice he killed a lamb in the presence
of his trainer, and the second time he
nearly killed the trainer, who rather
recklessly tried 10 get away the carcass.
Finally the lion would tolerate a lamb
in its den just es long as the keeper
stood over II with an iron bar But the
effort was so evidently forced. and the
performances was so utterly lacking in
smoothness and interest. that II was
abandoned after two or three attempts"

PEANUTS CONTROLLED BY A TRUST.
Competition Has Resulted i'm Com
bine, Which Raised Prices.

The latest thing in trusts is the peanut
trust. Peanuts are small things 10 be con-
trolled by a trust, but in Virginia and
North Carolina the peanut crop is by no
means a small thing. The Virginia pea
nut is the article usually handled by the
corner fruit stores and the push-cart
vendors. That a trust has been formed
to regulate the price of the peanut will
be sad news to the small boy, the col
ored brother and the occupants of the
bleachers at the base Dall games. whose
favorite provender is the peanut The
trust is called the Virginia peanut asso-
citation and il is composed of the twelve
largest handlers Of the product in that
state. The ordinary consumer Of the
peanut has little idea of the extended
and expensive process required TO put
the peanut in marketable condition after
il has been dug from the ground. The
peanut must be cleaned and polished be-
fore IL is ready to put on the market
and large plants are maintained for this
purpose with expensive machinery. The
peanut crop is practically controlled by
the cleaners and warehousemen. who
make advances to the farmers and han
die the crop pretty much as the cot
ton crop is handled by the
factors. A wholesale dealer told a
writer for the Savannah News that the
competition between the large houses in
the business had been very sharp, with
the result that they had made no money.
To put an end 20 this they have entered
into a combine and selected one broker TO
handle all their product. Prices will be
regulated by the ASSOCIATION. AS a re-
suit Of the combine prices have already
been put up half cent a pound. The
dealer said that there were no fears that
the trust would attempt to place any
eXtortiOnate prices upon the product.
There are many reasons why this is not
likely to be the case, the chief one bein g
that other states would Immediately
pour their product on the market in COM
petition with the Virginia product.
The peanut is largely grown in North
Carolina, Georgia and Florida as a stock
food, and its growth is on the increase.
The North Carolina peanut is much
smaller and more compact than the Vir-
ginia peanut, and as an edible it is fully
equal, if not superior, to the Virginia
product. 1t is not "A favorite with the re-
tail dealers for this reason: The Virginia
peanut is much larger. with a rough she'll
and the beans fit closely inside the she'll.
The result is that il is a much bulkier
product than its North Carolina congener.
a bushel of the latter weighing fully 50
per cent. more than one Of the former.
The retail dealer can afford to give a
full quart of the larger peanuts for 5
cents. which he could not afford to do
with the smaller article because Of the
weight being so much greater in proper
ton to bulk. The larger nuts, too. are
more attractive TO the eye of the pur-
chaser

SALVATION ARMY GIRLS WIN.
Testimony Of a Pretty Cadet Con-
victs a Young Drug Clerk.
He Was Accused Of Making Dis
turbance in the Barracks.

John Hollander, youth or about
eighteen, who says he Is clerk In
drug store, was fined $40 in Yorkville
Court this morning, the convictlng testi-
mony having been given by pretty
Salvation Army lass named Eliza Tre-
witt, whose big blue eyes expressed more
Indignation than a half hours speech
could have done, as she looked Hollander
in the face and exclaimed: 81 heard
you laugh right out In meeting
The complainant In the case was Stan
Captain Annie Keith. who has charge or
the barracks at Broadway and Forty
seventh street, where young ladies' are
trained to do missionary work all over
the world. The Army has two upper
floors in the building, and that the
young ladies' are In earnest, Is evident
from the fact that II one were ordered
to go to Africa, she would pack her grip
and be ready to start within an hour.
To be ready for this work they are
trained in speaking and. therefore, the
public Is invited each evening. to hear
the young ladies' make trial addresses.
The Staff Captain and the Captain, TOO,
who Is Miss Annie Mayo, claim, how
ever. that a band OF boys and young
men annoy them. and that Hollander
pleaded with him to keep quiet and stay
away, but even the remonstrances of
Cadet Trevitt, who has the reputation OF
being the prettiest Salvation Army lass
in New York, seem to have had no effect.
for last night, 1t Is alleged, the young
drug clerk and half dozen companions
came into the room with four young
girls, and amused themselves by pasting
on the backs of the soldiers pieces of
paper on which were printed such leg
ends as Keep OFF the Grass" " Lost
800 Reward for the Return" and Dump
No Rubbish"
The young ladies' then determined to
consult William II. Munday. who ad-
vised the Stan Captain to have the
leader arrested This was done and then
Miss Keith astonished those present by
announcing from the platform that she
believed the boys came there to annoy
them because Of religious jealousy on
the part of other creeds.
In court this morning, however, she
said she didn't want Hollander pun
ished very much, but just enough to
warn others to behave themselves.

festivities and the constant noise and
confusion OF the house.
But one evening she discovered among
the crowd a newcomer-blond and hand
some like herself, and like herself, sad,
timid and embarrassed. At once a Sc
cret sympathy attracted her towards
young Mario. 1t seemed u her that she
might be able to comfort him with her
words. for surely he cherished deep
sorrow in his heart. since his fine face
never frightened with lively color, and
his eyes often glistened as II with re-
strained tears,
He welcomed sympathy so eagerly
that II appeared as II he sought her. as
II he came solely for her sake. And
they soon talked freely together After
their first meeting. which was full OF en-
barrassment to both OF them, they
passed all the reception evenings Of
the splendid Countess together. Amelia
always awaited him with indescribable
emotion, and when she saw him appear
ing In the doorway, difiident and shy,
all her life was concentrated In her
heart, that beat. beat as II 1t would burst
Its bonds. Then with studied careless
ness he wandered through the rooms
until he succeeded in placing himself at
her side. whence he did not stir until the
.ast guests were about to leave.
Mario had told the story OF his life
his poor life OF discomfort and isolation.
He, too, was an orphan. brought up by
strangers who had speculated upon his
talent. BY force OF study and effort he
had at last made for himself a position
that had enabled him to demand his
liberty In exchange for monthly pay
ment. Never. poor soul. had he tasted
the sweetness OF mutual love.

twenty-five ounces to the weight Of the
garment.
A pair of British lions, couchant, orna-
ment, the collar corners and the shoul-
der strips make a field for the seals OF
the realm, and each is jewel Of skill.
The cap Is made for rather a small
