an AWiul Leap from Hallway Train.
One moro unfortunate human being,
"rashly importunate," came to a miser-
able and dreadful end on the Virginia
Central and Ohio Railroad by leaplng
head foremost cut OF the window OF
the car in which he was seated, while
the train was going at the rate OF 80
miles an hour over a vladuct or stone
bridge across a preclpltous mountain
gorge, at the foot OF which rushes
torrent of turbld water. The mans
body was dashed violently into the mid
die OF the current. which swept him
rapidly out OF sight, so that, when
those who witnessed the occurrence had
stopped the train, no yestlge OF him
was TO be seen.

that new alloy which it describes is a
remarkable substitute for gold. It Is
composed OF o. parts of copper to OF
anthony. The copper is melted and
the anthony is then added After the
TWO metals have been perfectly fused
together, little magnesium and car
Donate of lime is added to increase the
density of the material. The product
can be drawn out, wrought and
soldered just like gold, which it almost
exactly resembles when polished. 1t
preserves its color, 1t is said, even
when exposed to the action of am
moniacal salts or nitrous vapors. The
cost of making it is about twenty-five
cents pound avoirdupois.

speaking of the customs that prevail
among the Indians, the Kansas CITY
Times has the following interesting
item regarding their racing practices:
There is no such thing as q third
party or stakeholder with the Indians.
The party making the proposition and
oHcrlng the wager on 4 race is always
by custom the stakeholder, unless an
Indian makes proposition to n white
man; then it always follows that the
white man holds the wager. WHY this
Is the oldest Indian cannot explain. 1t
IS custom that has long been estab-
aished, and, strange to say, there is not
q case on record where wager has not
been promptly paid over. In their horse
races there is never such thing as a
saddle or blanket; tho horse is usually
ridden with just bride, and the In
dian boy is usually stripped of all cloth
ing except his 'rccchclout. 1t is not
an unusual thing to sec son of one Of
tho contestants riding his adversary's
horse.
. Dishonesty in horse racing is TN I'M
Known factor among the Indians Big
baI, one OF the wealthieSt Squaw men
among tho Sioux, tried the plan of i'm
porting a thoroughbred colt, and in
order to disguise him branded him with
q half dozen or more brands, and when
the Cheyenne Indians came out for their
ANIMAL meeting he expected to make
killing, but to his surprise he lost in
tbs neighborhood of some fifty head of
horses and several Thousand dollars in
money, for the Cheycnncs' horse turned
gut to be q perfect craclierjack, and
Since the white mans horse has proven
such q failure in the country the Mt
tempt has never been repeated. The
usual length of n race with the Indians
ID one-third to three-fourths of a mile,
unless it is what they term n big race,
which commences at day breals and lasts
until darkness, and the record from
daylight to darkness is one hundred
and sixty-seven miles.

The Joy of tho Morning.

1. Let us rejoice at this season, with
JOY unspeakable, that Jesus, the risen
Saviour, continues to be Lord over
death and the grave. May every soul
that is nearing the bound of life; every
soul that is troubled and distressed be-
cause OF bcreavements; every doubling

like the baskets on pack mule. But
as rule the horses are left for the men
and boys to ride, and the papooses
are either carried by the girls or packed
away on "travoisc,". which is the only
wagon the Indians have, and You will
think 1t very poor kind of a wagon
when You hear how it is made.
The larger "travoiscs" are made of
two cottonwood branches and the
smaller ones of stout willow sticks.

1t is strange sight to see camp

Civilization Retrogading.

The extortionate rates Of railroads
in California have compelled the peo-
pie of that state to 60 back to the old
system of freighting with teams. Hear
what a California exchange says and
ask yourself if it is not time for gov
eminent ownership of railroads:
"Seropion Bros, commission mer-
chants of Fresno, Cal, and c. A. Camp
bell, who has hauled freight for nearly
twenty years on the western slopes of
the Sierras, have hit upon a plan by
which they hope to be independent of
the Southern Pacific railroad and its
enormous freight charges. Campbell
left Fresno on Thursday with ten mule
teams and two wagons loaded with
about ten tons of dried figs bound for
San Francisco, a distance of 2l2 miles.
lie expects to reach here by Nov. "a,
and a return load is waiting for him.
Campbell is confident that he will
make a fair profit out of his venture,
while the Scorpion Bros. say they will
save IL cents per 100 pounds on car
load lots, and IS cents per 100 ON less
than carload. Shippers throughout
the San Joaquin valley are watching
the experiment with intense interest
and If it proves a success hundreds Of
wagons and men and thousands o.
mules and horses will be employed il
the freighting business once more"

The Daily News viii tomorrow say: 1T
II little to the credit of diplomacy that
the Venezuelan question has been so long
unsettled. The most serious aspect of
the question is not so much in Venezuela
as in the United States There are many
signs that public opinion IN the latter coun-
try may be greatly disturbed by the Brit
ish demand for reparatiOn, complicated
by the boundary claim. The dispute viii
need to be managed with the greatest tact
and good temper by both sides. both BY the
respective governments and the press
The paper also refers to the Trinidad af-
fair and continues. I'm each case we have
to consider public sentiment In the United
States and set an example of modera-
uon and self-control without which it
will be difficult to bring these irritating
disputes to a happy issue"
The Chronicle will Tomorrow publish
an interview with Ambassador Bayard,
In which the American representative SAYS
he knows nothing OF Great Britain's action
in the Venezuelan matter beyond what he
has read in the newspapers. His last mis-
ly spirit and with all good intention on
the part of the United States, the re-
sumption of those negotiations on the
frontier questions that were so abruptly
matter before Lord Salisbury who listen
ed to. his arguments with the best spirit.
The United states, Mr.. Bayard declares,
are only desirous of bringing about a
peaceful reopening Of the boundary ques-
ton between Venezuela and Guiana With
regard to the delay of Lord Salisbury in
answering his best attempt at recOncilia-
tion, Mr.; Bayard says that the prime min
lster had been aboard spending a holiday
Since his return he has doubtless been
very busy at the foreign office. Mr. Bay
ard is, however, momentarily expecting an
answer The many disputes that have
arisen between the United States and Ven
ezuela, Mr.. Bayard says, have always
been amicably arranged by boards of con-
Citation, and he does not see why the
same plan should not be adopted by Great
Britain and Venezuela.
Paris, Oct 2.-The Figaro, alluding to
the Venezuelan debate. expresses the
opinion that the system of issuing ultima
tums, which Is now becoming a habit
with Great Britain, may be greatly pref
judicial to peace.
