The moment the train was stopped
the brute rose and threatened to shoot
anybody who should attempt to lay
hands upon him. The little minister
went boldly up to him, tapped him
lightly on the shoulder, and told him
to leave the train. The bully's reply
was Q vicious but ill-directed blow,
which the little antagonist parted
with SKILL for he was an expert boxer.
Then the little man closed in an instant
upon the big man, gave him blow after
blow in quick succession, forced him TO
retreat to the platform, and finally
flung him to the ground, where he lay
begging for mercy.
The conductor allowed him to return
to the car under pledge of remaining
quiet for the remainder Of the journey.

II was an excitable man who said

to put his tongue under restraint.
"What business is it of yours?" was
the angry reply.
"You are reviling the name of the
Creator" said the minister, with inflex-

That makes 1t an affair of mine"
The bully replied with volley of
oaths which drove the ladies back to

The minister appealed to the con-

AN OCULIST'S RUSE.
His Clover Mode of Exposing q Frandp-
lent Claim.


Here is an interesting account Of a
very clever bit of detective work by an
oculist, says Leonard's Illustrated Med
ical journal. 1t appears that in large
factory, in which were employed sew
eral hundred persons, one of the work
men, in welding his hammer, care
lessly allowed it to slip from his hand.
1t flew half way across the room and
struck fellow workingman in the left
eye. The man averred that his sight
was blinded by the blow, although
careful examination failed to reveal
any injury, there being not scratch
visible. lie brought suit in the
courts for compensation for the loss of
half of his eyesight, and refused all
offers of compromise.
Under the law, according to the Shelf
field England Telegraph, the owner
of the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting from an accident of
this kind, and although he believed
that the man was shamming and that
the whole case was an attempt at
swindling, he had about made up his
mind that he would be compelled to
pay the claim The day Of the trial ar
rived, and in open court an eminent
oculist, retained for the defense, eX-
amined the alleged injured member and
gave it as his opinion that it was as
good as the right eye Upon the plain
tiff's loud protest of his inability to see
with the left eye, the oculist proved
him periurer and satisfied the court
and jury Of the falsity of his claim.
And how do you suppose he did it?
Why, simply by knowing that the col
ors green and red combined make black
He procured black card on which
few words were written with green ink
Then the plaintiff was ordered to put
on pair of spectacles with two diiIer-
ent glasses, the one for the right eye
being red and the one for the left eye
consisting of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed him and he was or
dered to read the writing on it. This
he did without hesitation, and the

less of Danger.

~
Between the drowsy sleep of the
nocturnal animals and the hyper-sen-
sitive sleep OF those which spend their
lives In constant fear of their enemies,
a place must be found for the form OF
slumber enjoyed by the large carnivora
and that of domestic animals; the
former have no enemies to fear except
man, and the latter, protected by man,
enjoy to the full the blessing of natural
rest.
Tigers are frequently found fast
asleep In the daytime. Native hunters
have been known to track them after
skill" to the place in which they were
lying fast asleep and gorged with food,
and to shoot them as they lie. When
taking his midday repose in districts
where 1t is little disturbed, the tiger
does not always retire to place of Sc
curity, like the bear, or even the leop-
ard, which usually sleeps on the branch
of tree. 1t Just lies down in some
convenient spot, either shady or warm,
according to the weather, and there
sleeps. almost regardless of danger.
They have been found lying in dry
mullahs, under trees, and even in the
grass of the hillsides, unobserved, I'M
til their disturber came within a few
yards of them.
Gen. Douglas Hamilton, when shoot
ing in the Dandilly forest, came upon
tigress and two cubs lying fast asleep
on their backs, with their paws stick
ing up in the air, under clump of
bamboos. When he was within few
yards Of the group, one raised its head,
and, without moving its body, quietly
looked at him along tho line of its
body between its paws. Tigers kept

VENEZUELA MOURNS.
Her Deep Sorrow for the Death of
Walter Q. Gresham.

WASHINGTON, June II. - VeneZu-
elias tribute to the memory of the late
Secretary Gresham has come to the
state department through Minister An
drada, in the shape of a note addressed
to him by Senor Jose Pulido, Venezu-
elan minister for foreign affairs. The
message has a peculiar significance
in view of the fact that the late sec
retary had hoped to make his policy
in the Venezuelan boundary dispute
the crowning glory of his administra-
ton. The letter is as follows:
Ministry of Foreign Relations of
the United States of Venezuela, De-
partment of Foreign Public Law, Car
acas, May 20, 1895-Sir: Yesterday at
late hour l received your telegram an
nouncing the death of his eXcellency
Mr.. Gresham. This calamity must sem
sibly affect all who in the last two
years have followed with amy degree
of interest the course of the foreign
policy of the United States, in which
that distinguished statesman was dis
playing the great gifts of his intel
lect. Venezuela is necessarily one of
the countries of America in which this
event has caused the greatest sorrow,
inaSmuch as that noble gentleman
had displayed cm various occasions,
and in an eloquent manner, the cor
dial feelings by which he was actuated
towards the republic. Please convey
the expression of these sincere senti-
ments to the department of state, in
order that it may be communicated to
his eXcellency President Cleveland.
The national flag has this day been Or
dered to be kept at half mast for three
days on all public buildings. This Off
cial demonstration is made in memory
of the efforts made by Mr.. Gresham to
secure just and amicable settlement
of the VeneZuelan-British dispute"

ARNOLD NOT ALARMED.

Up to a late hour tonight Debs had
not returned Marshal Arnold sent
out all the available deputies of his
office in a search for the missing pris-
oner, but not a trace of him was
found AT II O'Clock Marshal Arnold
announced that he would give up look
ing for his man until tomorrow. He
said:
''While the absence of Debs does not
alarm me, I confess that I am consid-
erably chagrined over it. Had he sent
me word that he could not finish his
business during the afternoon l would
have unhesitatingly given him his
freedom a day longer. He may have
met with an accident, or gone out with
some friends, and, being ashamed to
come back after train time, is keeping
himself quiet. I would not be sur
prised to hear of him going out to
Woodstock during the night or early
in the morning"
The marshal does not believe that
Debs may have run away. He said
further: HE has all to lose and moth
ing to gain by such move. He would
be a fugitive from justice, and would
not dare to return to the United States.
He feels that in going to Jail he
strengthens himself among. his sympa-
thizers, and he would no more think
of running away than of flying. His
bondsmen are no longer liable for his
return as he surrendered himself to
me at noon, and that act relieved him
of his bond"
Debs' bond was in the sum of $1,000,
with William Skakel and William Fitz-
gerald as bondsmen. In addition he
is under bonds to the district court on
criminal charges in the sum of 10000,
with the same bondsnen. Deputy Mar
shals Logan and Curran returned from
Woodstock late tonight and reported
that Debs had not reached there on
the late trains. One of the special dep
uties in search of Debs learned at a
late hour that he was last seen at $3.50
o'clock in company with P. V. Nor

FARIBAULT, Mimi, June IL
Just east of this city, on the hign
bluff which rises abruptly Beyond
Straight river, is st. Mary's hall, the
school for girls conducted by the
Protestant Episcopal church. 1t would
be difficult to imagine more beauti-
full spot than the one selected for this
school The great natural beauty or
the place has been supplemented by
art, and the broad walks, Towering
shrubs and neatly kept lawns make
the place an ideal one for the train
ing Of the girls and young ladies sent
here for the duties and responsible
ties of life. 1t was twenty-nine years
ago, one year after the one which
saw the beginning of Shattuck, that
this school for girls was established.
1t was founded by Bishop Whipple,
and has been during the years of its
existence under his direct care. The
design of the founder was to create
not alone an institution which should
be noted for it's scholarship, but a
pleasant, cultivated Christian home
for those who Should pursue their
!studies within it's walls. That both OF
these objects have been attained will
be attested by hundreds VINO have
gone forth from the school during the
years of its existence.
The building is. of pleasing archi-
tectural design, constructed of gray
stone. 1t is carefully designed to
fulfill both the objects mentioned, that
of school and home. There is
series of reception rooms and parlors
beautifully furnished. Then there is
the library, which contains about 5000
volumes of carefully selected literature
and all the leading magazines and pa
pers of this and foreign lands. Ad-
joining this is the museum, containing
much that is curious and useful The
Indian exhibit, collected by Bishop
Whipple during his many years of
labor among the native tribes of this
land, is said to be the finest collection
in the state. There is
