A Full Ride or 10 Fare.

An important case affecting the rights
Of passengers onsstreet railways has just

of the counsel for the defendants in the
case of Harry Sloan against the Balti-

of the plaintiff was just one. Mr..

He rendered his fare to the conductor,
the money was received, and the fare
rung up. The car proceeded but short
distance when something happened in
the cable, and the car stopped. Mr.. Sloan
waited for some time, The car didn't
start, and he asked the conductor to re-
turn him his fare This the conductor
refused to do, saying that as it had been
rung up it would be impossible for him
to do so without losing it himself. Final

Tine Life Of the Ichneumon FlY.

A writer gives an interesting account Of
the curious habits of the ichneumon fly of
Ceylon, the natural enemy of the spider.
This insect is green in color and in form
resembles wasp with a marvelously thin
waist. 1t makes its nest of well worked
clay, and then goes out on hunting expe-
dition. It's victims are invariably spiders
of various kinds, but all are subject to the
same mode of treatment. A scientific
sting injects some poison which effectually
paralyzes the luckless spider, who is then
carried off to the nest and there fastened
with a dab of moist clay.
Another and another victim is brought to
this chamber of horrors. Then the preset
ent mother ichneumon fly proceeds to de-
posit her eggs, one in the body of each spi-
der, which can just move it's legs in a vague,
aimless manner, but can offer no resistance.
This done, the fly returns to her work as q
mason. She prepares more clay and builds
up the entrance to this CHASTITY cell. Then
she commences new cell, which she fur
risb a@in like manner and closes. Then she
ADDS yet another cell, and so proceeds until
her store of eggs are all provided for, and,
her task in life being accomplished, she
dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch at lei
sure.
In due time these horrid little maggots
come to life and find themselves Graded in
a larder of fresh meat. Each poor spider is
still alive, and his juices afford nutriment
for the ichneumon grub, till it is ready 10
pass into its chrysalis stage, thence to
emerge as winged fly, fully prepared to
carry out the traditions of its ancestors
with regard to spiders and to fulfill the
purpose for which they have been created,
according to ichneumon belief.-Leisure

Success and happiness in life is to
accept our lot and be content with
what we have; and not be contins
ually reaching out for what we cam
not get. The happiest men and
women on earth are those who think
they have the lest husbands and
wives. Their little vine covered
cottage nesting among the hills
where the birds end flowers live,
are better than the PALACES; and
their treckled faced bare footed boys
sitting on the banks of the creek
fishing for mud cat are greater than
princes, and their girls-bare footed
mountain beauties that they are
are sweeter and grander and nobler
than princesses.

HEN And HER CHICKS
A Pretty Story Told the Children BY
DR.. Brown.
MANY PROFESS CONVERSION
The Meetings Continue With Una
bated Interest-The Auditorium
Is Packed by Large Audi
ences Every Day.

| An audience of children, among
whom were many of older growth. as
sembled yesterday afternoon at the Au-
| ditorium to hear DIR. Brown speak upon
one of his favorite subjects. THE Hen
and Her Chickensp The little folks
were inclined to be restless until DR..
| Brown began to tell them stories about
the hen and her habits, and then they
speedily became interested, for there
was much in the discourse which was
not only entertaining. but also instruct
I've.
The speaker called attention to the
wisdom of the old hen, how carefully
she makes her nest when given free
she arranges the eggs when about to
set, with the big end uppermost. Then
he told why the fowl does this. that
the chick may get the benefit of the
air I'm the cavity at the big end OF the
egg. and of the water which Is In the
smaller end Of It, When the chick is
Matched she keeps them from getting
food for "a hours after they are out OF
the shell and eats IL all herself rather
than letting the chicks feed before they
are able to digest the food.
An old hen talks to her chickens; she
begins before they are out Of the shell,
and she has various languages for
them. Her first clucks are to teach
them that she is, that she exists. just
as God has said to the world, II am.
That was His first message. Then she
tells her young of the enemy; she has
cry of warning which those fiuffy
balls of down understand, and they
will scoot and hide under shelter the
moment they hear 1T. The chicks do
not ask, Where is it?" What is the
danger?' Let US see It," but they obey.
Why cannot we then trust the warn
ings of God with an unquestioning
faith?
She has another voice which calls the
chicks to her for food. for rest and for
shelter, and as this dumb parent cares
for her young, Christ says He will care
for those who love Him. The text and
words of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem
were applied very effectively and ap-
propriately, to those who decline to ac-
cept of the gospels. "Oh, Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, thou that killest the proph-
cts and stonest them which are sent
unto thee. how often would / have
gathered thy children together, even as
a hen gathereth her chickens under her
wings, and We would not"
The subject of the evenings sermon
was Blind Bartimus," and was list
ened to by a congregation of 600 per-
sons. Up to the present time 175 cards
have been handed in by people who in
this way make known their desire to
lead Christian lives henceforward. The
meetings will be continued two weeks
longer in Anaconda.

Protestants Murdered for Preaching
Thousands of Men ana Women Killed.
London, Dec. 15.-The Daily News
has a dispatch from Constantinople
dated Dec. IL which says: News Is
daily received here Of thousands of Ar
menians who are offered the choice be-
tween Islam and death. At Marash,
an Armenian who was an ordained An
gelican clergyman refused the choice
and was killed by slow torture. At
Kharpoot two Protestants preached
and were murdered for the same cause.
At Achem. 81 persons died as martyrs
for their religion. At Ozoon. large
number of Armenians were captured
and led to a neighboring Turkish viii
lage where they were ordered to change
their faith. Fifty of them leaped into
the Euphrates and were drowned, the
Turks shooting them while they were
in the water. This day the British vice
consul at Van describes the condition
of the Armenians as being too appall-
ing for words. Thousands of women
and girls are wandering through the
snow-piled streets without shelter or
food, and in bare feet. An eyewitness
to the barbarities of the massacre at
Kaisarich on Nov. so says that men
and women were literally hacked to
pieces to the number of several hund-
red. Some of the Turks say q thousand
were killed.

The coursing match in the valley
was not entirely satisfactory to the
hunters, but they had two very pretty
chases. Several of those who were ex-
pected to enter their hounds oversight,
or for some other reason did not ap-
pear. John Williams was on deck
with the Conley dogs Spring and Ring,
and Hugh DAILY was there with Jim.
Alderman Lappen was not there, but
some friends had his dog Swift. The
hunters disappointed in the sweepstake
race arranged a match for $40 a side
between Spring and Jim.
A jack was started and the dogs were
slipped. Spring scored a turn and then
Jim chased the rabbit out OF sight but
under the rules Spring was awarded
the match. Ring and Swift were then
matched for similar sum and the race
resulted as before. Only a part of the
chase could be seen and Ring had the
best Of that, winning the money.
The other dogs, II is said, showed the
more speed. but the williams kennel
were better trained and won the points.
