A Woman Rides a Brake Beam.

On the arrival of a Burlington
freight train at Huntly, Mont, recent
ly, the trainmen discovered a young
and handsome woman and a boy riding
upon one Of the brake beams in ap-
proved tramp fashion. The woman
gave her name as Mrs. Peterson, and
said her husband, barber. had de-
serted her and baby several months
ago at Billings. Besides herself and
baby, she had mother and a little
brother to support. A few days ago
she spent her last money to purchase
tickets for her mother and baby to
Sheridan, wy, where they have
friends, and one night she took the lit
tie brother climbed on the brake beam
of an outgoing freight, and had been
riding nearly all night when discov-

GENFVA'S GREAT FOUNTAIN.
1t Is Three Hundred Feet In Height
The Largest In the World.

1t Is Three Hundred Feet In Height
The Largest In the World.
The fountain that the municipality Of
Geneva has recently established at the
entrance of the port of that city is GER
tainly the largest fountain that exists
upon the surface Of the globe, since it
is no less than 800 feet in height, says
the Philadelphia Press. 1t may be seen
from great distance in clear weather,
detaching itself like a great white sail
Tapping through the effects of the wind.
The city of Geneva possesses a most
complete distribution of water under
pressure, the motive power for which
is obtained from an artificial fall estab-
lished upon the Rhone at the point of
the lake. The water for domestic pur-
poses and for the running of certain
motors is raised to the height of 215
feet above the level of the lake. For
the distribution of motive force 1t is
raised to height of AGO feet. The res
ervoir is an open-air one and is stu
ated upon the top of Bessingers, at a
distance of three miles from the turbine
building. A very ingenious regulator,
invented by Mr.. Turrettini, assures the
uniformity of the piping.
The length of the first pipe line is
about forty miles, and that ofthesecond,
about sixty. 1t is to this latter that
the fountain conduit is connected The
latter is set in play only on Sundays.
It is sometimes set in operation also in
week days in the evening. Instead Of
a single jet of great height several are
then utilized that do not rise so high.
Powerful electric-light projectors,
placed in structure near by, brightly
illuminate them with their rays of var
led colors. which transform them into
a luminous fountain of the most beau
tiful aspect.

CHARGE OF THE BATTALION.

A Pen-Pictu,e of One OF the Most I'm
posing Efforts OF Great Battle.
The battalion has been on its feet
since daybreak; there was a scanty
breakfast, and while the men ate it
in the distance are sounds Of the COM
ing battle. The files on the march are
closed up, every sense is alive, dust
everywhere, then smoke, the galloping
of horses. hoarse shouts, orders and
counter-orders; the battle grows apace
men here and there go down, but the
eight companies are there; the captains
march close by the men; sometimes,
through the smoke, they catch a
glimpse of the colonel leading on in
'front.' each man knows his right-hand
man; no one looks behind him; some
where quite close is Tom or Dick or
Harry, the good men they have chosen
as the best, and as long as they go OF
the rest will follow. So the din in
creases, the earth is Keeling under foot,
shells burst beside them with a horrid
shrek and fling out quick death, can
anything alive come out of this hideous
turmoil? Still they press on; captain
picks up the rifle of a man who has
fallen and speaks CHEEKY word-all
can't be lost when an old friend can
make a joke; another instant, and a
cool voice they've heard before rings
out an order-it is easy to obey what
they've learned to obey for years-a
clash of bayonets as they fix them in
smart time together. a pause, gasp
for breath-"Charge" and the long thin
line cleaves through the smoke and
din and is out upon the other side and
in the sunshine once again, cheering it's
lungs away; the battle and dear life
are won.

TELEpHONiNG ON THE CONGO.
Drums with Which the Natives Are Able
to- Communicate.


to Communicates.
Capt. Five, Belgian explorer, says
that the people Of the Congo have a
curious and interesting method of tele-
phoning. For long time he refused
to believe that the natives really had
the power to communicate with others
at distance, though articles had been
sent to him in answer to such commun-
ications. At length, one day, journey
ing on the river by pirogue, and being
termined, instead of stopping, to press
on to the village. Then one Of his peo-
pie offered to telephone to the village
that the party would reach the place to-
ward evening and would like to have
supper prepared on arrival.
A native with a drum then began to
beat it after peculiar fashion, and
presently announced that he had heard
a reply. He then rolled the drum for
some time and TRANQUILITY returned to
his paddle. Capt. Five waited with
much interest to see whether his ap-
proach would be expected, and was aston
ished as he neared Basoko toward even
ing to recognize on the bank one Of his
fellow-explorers. Lieut.. Verellen. A
fire was burning ashore and supper was
being made ready. Capt. Five, after
greeting the lieutenant, inquired
eagerly how he had learned of the ap-
proach of the expedition. The lieuten-
ant replied that the news had been
brought some hours before by negro,
who said that white man was ap-
preaching by the way of the river and
would need supper.
The drum used by the natives for this
purpose is a small but noisy affair of
wood. 1t is constantly employed in
communicating short distances, in
order to save time and trouble. In this
instance there had evidently been re-
lays of drummers along the whole fifty
miles from the point where the original
signal was given to near Basoko. The
natives are able, with their drums, to
signal messages of considerable length.
This particular instance is recorded in
La Flandre, Belgian publication.

The Great Strain on q Mans Nerves Suffi-
Client In Itself to Wreck Him In = short
Time. The Experience of Well Known
Motorman.
From the Cincinnati. Ohio, Enquirer.
The life of q motorman is not bed of
roses. He is subjected to many hardships,
especially in the winter when he is exposed
TO the cold and snow. Even in the summer
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
seif-possession is necessary IN good motor
man, for the lives and limbs Of his passen-
gers are at stake. One of the best known
electric motormen in this city is william
Frazer, who Is at present running a car on
the Cumminsville electric line. He is not
only well known to his fellow employees but
), To the people who travel on his car. Mr.
Frazer is young man about twenty six
years of age and resides with his wife and
child at l44 Belts Street, Cincinnati, o.
About a year ago Mr.. Frazer was taken
with serious stomach troubles. He bought
several kinds of medicine which were rec
commended to him. but none of them seemed
to give him even temporary benefit. An
enthusiastic admirer of that famous remedy
known as DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People told him to try them. Frazer was
almost discouraged, but took the advice.
To a reporter of the Enquirer he said:

attack OF Indigestion. My stomach hurt me
nearly all the time and could not digest
my food. The pain was almost unbearable
and l found nothing that would give me
relief. Il confess that when l bought the
first box of Pink Pills hadn't much conf
dence in their efficacy because had tried
SO many things without success that / was
almost discouraged. Before l had taken
one box | was decidedly better. Two boxes

der shall Ise some of them. Is is pleas
ure for me, / assure you, to testify to the
excellent qualities of these Pink Pills. They
not only tone the stomach, but regulate the
bowels and act as a mild cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal expert
ence and anyone who doubts that he re.
ceived the benefits stated can easily verify
the assertion by calling on Mr.. Frazer or
seeing him some time while he is on his car.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all OF the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness TO the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are sold in boxes at so cents

4 Magnificent nIinstrel show.

Indications point to a big house to see Richards 6 Pringles Famous Georgia Minstrels at the Opera house, Tuesday Oct. 8.
 The Tacoma (Wash.) Union, in speaking of the company says:
 Richards & Pringle's colored minstrels, the Famous Georgias, ]" as they come to be commonly known during the years they have delighted the theater-going populaee of Amer ica in every part of the United States, have swung around the cir cle once more, and once more tarried in their never-eeasing journeying just long enough to fill the Tacoma theater as but few attractions have ever been able to do when returning so often to a city.
 The Georgias have been in Tacoma from one to twice a season almost since they were first organized, and have always been welcomed by aan overaowing house. Last night was no noexception to their past record, and the performance, always of the highest order, was even better than ever before
 Billy Kersands, undoubtedly the greatest colored minstrel the world has ever known, was funnier than ever, and kept the big audience con vulsed when he opened his scayernous mouth.
 Every song, act or sketch was rapturously received, and merited the applause that rang out when ever there was a cessation in the performance long enough to admit of it, and at numerous times the performers were obliged to wait for an ovation to cease before they could proceed.
 After witnessing such a perform ance as that last night one easily understands how Manager Richards has succeeded in keeping his big company of celver people together longer than any minstrel company that has travelled the American con- tinent has done.
