w6itewashed tho Goals.

According to a London paper, the ef-
forts Of the railroad employees charged
with a recent transportation of the Prin-
cess of Wales and her daughters ON
short trip went to laughable lengths to
insure a spick and span appearance for
their train. The Goals in the tender were
whitewashed, the top layer only, and
the fireman drew his supply from trap
door at the bottom, preserving the snowy
appearance uubroken. 1t is of course too
late to suggest that this was not high
art. II would have been in better taste
to have polished each piece separately,
after carefully washing of all superfiu-
Gus dust A high degree Of natural per-
fection is preferable always to any We
neer. But coal stokers probably do not
read Ruskin, so their transgressim OF
the canons of taste was quite pardon
able.

The hoyish delight of the Prussian
generals at reaching Paris is shown in
the story Of a carouse held at Ferrieres,
near Meaux, told in a letter Of General
Verdy du Vernois, which was written ID
1870:
yesterday was such a fatiguing day,
but lively and agreeable. At 4 King
William gave a grand banquet. his
majesty knew that we had to dine at .
with the head of the staff and congratu-
lated us on our grandiose appetite AT .
sharp got away from the royal dinner
to be punctual to the minute at the
other one. Given the circumstances, 1t
was a feast for Lucullus. Bismarck,
Room and their suites had already como.
We staid at table from 8 till 10. Moltke
then set up whist tables. As the punch
was delicious, we all staid till l in
the morning. Bismarck told a lot OF
funny stories, and none funnier than his
account Of Jules Fayre's interview and
the interminable speeches Of that French
envoy. One might fancy oneself, Bis
marck said, at a public meeting when
he talked.
"They read us some verses that he
was sending to Germany. In conse-
quence of his dropping line, the eff
feet was to the last degree comic. We
all went off into roars Of laughter-one
of us lay fiat on the table, another skip
ped round it, and Moltke showed his
sense Of comicality by stepping bits Of
bread in his full wineglass and throw
ing them in our faces. This dinner took
place in small chateau belonging to an
aristocratic old French lady. She did
the honors Of her house in a courtly, old
fashioned style, but she spoke no other
language but French. The dinner went
off so we'll that our host felt he must
thank the old lady. Unfortunately he
knew no French. His enthusiasm was
aroused by the moonlight that poured
down on a terrace where we took coffee.
He went to the marquise, and mastering
what words Of French be knew took her
tenderly by the hand, and pointing to the
waning moon said, Foyer, madame,
quel joh demi monde. F"

RACE BY DEER, PANTHER AND ENGINE
An Episode of Railroad Travel In a Flor
ida Swamp.


An Episode of Railroad Travel In a Flor
ida Swamp.
C. @. Taylor, engineer Of the Pablo
railroad, has pulled a throttle for 80
years, and during that time has had
many novel experiences, but Sunday he
had one that has no parallel in his life's
history.
1t was during the run from Pablo TO
Jacksonville. About eight miles this
side of Pablo is Cedar swamp, tangled
morass in which bear, wildcats deer,
and even panthers have often been kill
ed. When about half way through the
swamp, an immense buck, wild eyed
and lathered with sweat, made a clean
leap Of 20 feet on to the track, within
60 feet of the engine An instant later
there was crash Of the underbrush, and
out Of it came an immense panther,
running so fast that he seemed to be
level with the ground. He was so eager
to catch the game ahead Of him that he
had no eye for the train.
Passengers in the five coaches did not
know Of the exciting race going on ahead
Of the cowcatcher, but they did notice
that there was a series Of quick and sue
cessive jerks, and that the train was
spinning along through the swamp at
whizzing pace. 1t was at this time that
Engineer Taylor resolved to take hand
in the race himself. He pulled the throt-
tie wide open.
The deer was 100 yards ahead, and
the panther was 30 yards behind the
deer. The deer was barely holding his
own. Something seemed to be the mat
ter with him, for he didn't run as he
should. The deer kept the track for half
a mile. Before he left the track, how
ever, the engine crawled close upon the
panther. He heard the rumbling of the
wheels and the trembling Of the track,
and he quickly got out of the way, hid
ing himself in the underbrush by Sc
ries of successive and graceful leaps
The deer did not quit the track until
a quarter Of mile further on. He took
to the open pine woods on the opposite
side to that which the panther had leap
ed, and the last seen Of him he was still
running like chain lightning.
Conductor Rogero went ahead to see
what was up when the train was run
ming so fast, but only got there in time
to see the deer scudding through the
woods. He told a few Of the passengers,
but none Of them was fortunate enough
to catch a glimpse Of the buck.
Mr.. Rogero says that deer have fire.
quently jumped on the track on tho
Pablo run, and before this have had
race with the train, but this is the first
time he ever heard Of panther getting
mixed up in any Of the Incidents

A Wedding Spoiled.

"The New England character is still
exhaustless in its interesting phases,

mering in the Green mountain region.
"In the little village where l have been

ried three times, his last wife being

the fiftieth anniversary of his first mar

that day a golden wedding. Naturally

What Antireninn May Do.

Professor Fraser of Edinburgh has at
tackled the problem Of finding an anti
dote for snake bite, and there is every
reason to hope that his labors will not
be for naught Starting with the COM
monty accepted theory, which he finds
to be true, that snake is itself immune
to snake poison, he argues that this i'm
munity must be due to the absorption in
the blood Of the poisonous matter. He
next procured some venom, chiefly
cobra poison, and ascertained by direct
experiment the minimum lethal dose to
a small animal The dose was gradual
~ increased without any Inconvenience
to the animal Indeed it grew fat under
the treatment until it could receive by
simultaneous injection enough poison to
kill 80 creatures its size.
The next step showed that the blood
serum from animals thus treated was
able, in varying conditions Of admins
tration, perfectly to prevent lethal doses
of the venom Of the most poisonous SER
penis from producing death in nonpro-
tected animals. The new remedy is
named antivenine, and its discovery
may be regarded as one Of the most i'm
portant of the century. - Chambers

Sad Lot of Mortuary Poet In Prussia.

A private in the Pomeranian chas-
seurs, imperial German army, recently
lost his captain, Franz Abicht, by death.
He always bad had the deepest rever-
ence for the captain, and he voiced his
feelings two weeks ago in apoem which
he sent to the Ulmer Zeitung. The
poem was published. AS soon as a copy
came to the notice of the commander Of
the battalion he called the private to
him and told him that the poem, by its
excessive praise of Abicht, implied disre-
spect Of the other superior officers, who
outranked the late captain, and there
fore was subversive Of discipline. The
private was sent to the guardhOuse for
his sins, and all copies Of the Ulmer
Zeitung which had been bought by
members of the battalion were seized
and destroyed.

Twas English, but Failed Here.

Following the example Of some Eng
lish golfers, the Cambridge Golf club
some time ago purchased a flock Of sheep
in the west and put the animals on its
golf grounds in Watertown, where they
were to keep the grass short. In various
manners the flock was gradually being
reduced, and one afternoon when the
shepherd left the flock for little while
it was stolen and driven through Water
town. A patrolman frightened the thief,
and some of the sheep was returned to
the grounds Recently the Massachu-
sets Society For the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals discovered that the
sheep were suffering so with foot rot
that they could hardly walk, and re-
ported it to the board Of health. A
member Of the board Of health and the
chief Of police visited the grounds and
ordered all the sheep slaughtered. -Bos-

THE OF THE

sages to the halls of Congress at Wash
ington.
These incidents are merely given here
as an illustration that the railroad re-
porter is a busy man and can not be both
cred by friends with requests for passes all
day.
When a strike is ION the tapis'' the
railroad mans influence is required on
the side of labor as well as capital. Then
it takes very cool head to prevent disa-
greeable entanglements. He must do jus
tice to both interests and protect the pub
lie. During the last strike Mr.. Pullman
became dissatisfied with the railroad re-
porter's views on the difficulties with
which he was coping, and as result the
latter is now obliged to pay for sleeping
and eating accommodations while en-
route.
But the newspaper man knew his bust
ness if it did not please Mr.. Pullman.
As the railroad man works only twenty
hours out of twenty-four he has no time for
social functions, and after he has dictated
his messages and replies, he pays daily
visit to every railroad office in town to as
certain if anything has happened that was
omitted at headquarters.

facts to the newspaper men they will be
better enabled to apprehend the thief.
This is not true, for the publication of the
story of the burglary will aid in the re-
covery of the stolen property if it has been
sold, and it will also let the public know
of frequent burglaries committed so tina
they can better guard against their repeti
ton in their own households.
The ordinary police news coming under
the observation of the common patrolman
is given by them to the police man. IL
they only capture drunk they will always
tell the facts, for they believe that the fire.
quent publication of their names is proof
OF their efficiency.
whenever a murder is committed in
the city the Chief of Police is Immediate
~ notified, and if in the country the
oherl1f Office is apprised of the facts
through them the police reporter gets a
few pointers, and Immediately starts after
the particulars. If suicide occurs the
coroner is made acquainted with this
facts, either by telephone or telegraph,
and by frequent visits to the Coroner'e
office, the police man learns when DR..
Campbell has case on hand If he
thinks there is story in the case, he
''whoops it up" and if he believes there
is not, he waits for the evidence adj
duced at the inquest, which is nearly al
ways held on the day OF death.
The police man also covers the Police
Court, where he hears reported in evidence
the story of the crime, as told to him at
the time of the criminals capture. All
warrants of arrest are issued by the Police
Judge, but he never tells of the issuance
of warrant in advance of the arrest of
the culprit Still, often times, by this
vigilance the police man learns of the fact
that complaint has been sworn to charg-
ing someone with some offense as he
writes up the story. This greatly aids the
officers, for many people who are wanted,
and cannot be found by the detectives,
read of their cases in the papers and sur
render.
There is very little friendship existing
in Los Angeles between the officers and
the police men, for the bluecoats in most
cases are inexperienced men. In San Fran
cisco different state of affairs exists, and
as result the police detail upon daily
paper in the metropolis carries with it
more pleasant associations than in this
city.
