"What was it,"
"a woman was walking on the
New York Central tracks. She had
almost reached the platform, and
Just as the train came laundering
up behind her, her foot caught in
a frog. Escape seemed impossible.
The spectators stood rooted to the
spot"
"Wellw
"But with rare presence of mind
the woman tore off her false hair
and"
"Yes?"
"The train ran over the switch
and she was saved ~
"Sayw
"Well?"
"What a pity it was that woman
didn't wear a red flannel petticoaU."
"a red flannel petticoat?"
Eyes; the frog would have grabb-
ed for that and let her foot go, and
you would have been spared the

sERPENTINE ON HORSEBACK.
Feat of Paris Girl That Eclipses
That of Loie Fuller.

The serpentine dance continues
as popular as ever, and the great
varieties of figures introduced are
as numerous as they are amazing.
The Parisians are just now enjoy
ing an innovation in the way Of
serpentine dancing that has proved
an immense attraction. Mile Hell
enc Gerard is the originator Of this
feature, which consists Of dane
ing on horseback. Miss Gerard
is an extremely graceful and
pretty young woman, and is
said to give performance
of this dance on horseback which
puts the stage dancing of Loie Full
Ter in the shade. All Paris has
taken up Miss Gerard for the mo-
ment and the papers are loud in
the praise of her unique act. While
she dances as the horse gallops
around the arena the auditorium
is darkened and a strong electric
light is thrown on the performer
through various shades of colored
glass. The costume wore by the
rider is exquisite both in design
and color and the whole affair is
strikingly novel as we'll as very
graceful.

Chicago Building That Stopped
Clocks.

Chicago Record.
A Chicago corporation, recently
organized, established its head
quarters on the top floor of one of
the tallest buildings in that city.
The attorney had a room to him
self, the secretary was given an
other palatial apartment, the sup
erintendent reigned supreme in
another place, the president was,
of course, compelled to Guido all
the others in leather-cushioned
chairs, massive tables and eXpen-
sive brOnzeS.
The browning glory Of his pri-
vate office was big clock, with an
deliberately carved case. 1t was the
best clock in the entire stock Of a
local dealer, and it had a long,
shiny pendulum which was to
swing slowly and with regularity,
as became a clock owned by the
president of such a solid and relia-
BILE corporation.
On the first day the pendulum
stopped. The clock was sent back
to the dealer, whose experts took
it apart, oiled it, and set 1t to run
ming again. Once more it was taken
to the presidents office, and again
the clock experts directed it and the
swing of the pendulum. The pen
dulum couldn't work with any re-
gularity so long as the building
was nodding around in the chang
ing winds like cat tail before a
summer zephyr.
$50 the tall buildings do swing
back and forth?" he was asked.
"Certainly, but don't be afraid
| they'll not break"

a Marked Change OF Opinion Among DriV-
ers in the Past Ten Years.
The increasing popularity of the
PAGER is shown by the fact that out OF
thirty-nine newcomers To the list this
year fifteen are of the lateral-gaited
variety. This is a very great change
from the condition of things but few
years ago. Then the taste of the peo-
pie did not run 10 PAGERS, and it was
fashionab BILE 70 decry and discourage
them. Now most drivers want at least
one PAGER, and many of them prefer
PAGERS to trotterS. It is zaid that the
preference for trotters which SO large
" prevailed was due in a considera BILE
measure to the influence of Robert
Bonner, who never fancied them. This
may be true, but we believe the prefer
ence for the trotter Is one of much
more antiquity than this fact would,
taken by itself, indicate IL would
scarcely have been possible for any one
man in this country TO have formed the
national taste. We believe that the
more proba BILE cause OF this preference
was the fact that when the present sys-
TEN of harness racing was inaugurated
IN the east trotting horses were found
in greater abundance and were, there
fore. used in greater numbers on the
track.
The preference for one gait rather
than the other is largely matter OF
individual taste. IL used to be said
that the PAGERS would not stay in these

A petition was filed in the district court
yesterday which promises to be more than
lively.
The police commissioners through their
attorneys, y u. Houston and a. j. Iyatt,
have brought suit against Gurus A Le-
land, receiver of the State National bank,
to recover s.. 800 10. with interest from last
June, which they had on deposit. Ia their
petition they assert that during the year
1898 they had deposited the above sum and
that hearing Of TIE rumor that the bank
was Unsound they intended drawing the
money out, buE the bank officials gave
them good collaterals 10 the amount OF
about S, 500 as security If they would let
their deposit stand, which the commits
sioners agreed to do. They then deposited
the notes given by the officials in the bank,
and the police commissioners now ailege
that the bank people realized the money
on the paper given into their safe keeping
and used the money regardless OF any secu-
rity to them with the other funds of the
bank. 1t was Learned on good authority
last evening that the police commissioners
could Rot bring any suit a police commits
sloners, but that they would have TO sue
as II they were common citizens and not
as officials, as the law says that all funds
accruiDg from fines, &c. must be paid into
the CITY treasurer each evening, and con-
sequently they will probably have TO sue
Receiver Leland individually.
