A Smart Dog.

A young Wissahickon man owned a
dog of mOngrel breed. which had added
to it's one great undesirable quality Of
low birth the more offensive one of mango
says the Philadelphia Record. The young
man determined to sever his relations
with the animal, and with that end in
view he secured a large washtub and put
staples in the inside of 1t, with ropes at
tached to them to securely hold the dog
and keep its head under water. He
caught the dog just as IL came in after
long tramp in the dusty roads. The
doomed animal was preparing to slake
its thirst at the hydrant when its master
grabbed it and tied it down in the tuD
Then he turned the water on and let il
run until the dogs head was totally sub
merged. He couldn't bear to see the poor
brute suffer, so he went away for a quar-
ter of an hour. He came back expecting
to find the dog dead. Strange to say
however, the dog was very much alive
There was no water in the tub. Neither
was there any leak i'm il. The dog had
simply quenched his thirst

block for new suit, says the Chicago

he said: That's all. L. b.

"Oh, no." was the answer

ried away. AS the man was one of the
sensitive kind himself, he understood and
said no more.

A gentleman who was in Florida tells
the Washington Post of the character of
the Cuban revolutionists who assemble in
that state and shout Cuba libre'' and
many other things of a similar sort. One
night there were about 500 of them path
cred in a public square with Transparent
cies and torches, and other insignia Of rev
olution, including shouts and speeches.

cy. borne high above the head of swarthy
patriots. Another read, Down with Span

were to be seen ON every hand.
III scatter that crowd in about three
minutes" said a man at the hotel near
where the demonstration was taking place.
He went around the corner and fired FIVE
shots from his revolver over the heads OF
the patriots, and the echoes had scarce
died away when there was not one man in
sight. The man who bore the largest and
most bloody banner had dropped it on the
field. and was found hidden under the bed
of the very man who had fired the shots.

Landscape ON Her Back.

in a doctor to see his wife, who was suf-
fering from bronchitis, says the Boston
Transcript. After he had examined the
patient, the doctor recommended the hus-
band to take small brush, dip 1t in tine
ture of iodine and lightly paint the lady's
back with it. The artist took up his brush.

instead of simply applying the iodine he
sketched out a landscape. and gradually
peopled 1t with figures and put in all the
details complete. The patient, finding the
operation rather lengthy one, asked her
husband If he had finished. And the lat

work, replied: Another dab or two and

The Motor of the Future.

The question, is a revolution in railroad
ing at hand? is being quite generally asked
IN railroad circles. There is no doubt that
railroad men are taking a profound inter-
est in the experiments that are being made
with the electric motor on railroads. Last
week several trials of the electric motor
were made on the Nantasket branch of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
way. They were very successful. On Thurs
day speed of fifty miles
an hour was attained, and
on Friday a speed of eighty miles an
hour was reached. 1t is asserted that if it
had not been for hot box ninety miles an
hour would have been reached.
The electric locomotive will supersede
the steam locomotive on the Nantasket
branch, and in a short time it may be the
Haven and Hartford railway system. The
question of the cost OF operating that To-
connective is now being considered by the
officials of the system, and if it is shown
to be very much cheaper it will be adopted
1t cannot yet be predicted, of course, that
steam roads are doomed, but it really looks
as if they would be gradually replaced by
electric roads. The possibilities of the
electric motor are not yet known. I'm
provements are being made in them all
the time, and it is reasonable to suppose
that there will be a steady Improvement
in them for years to come. The cost of
changing the steam roads to electric roads
would 9e immense. but that they would
be changed there is no doubt if it should
appear that electric roads can be operated
at less cost

During the days of the trade dollar"
every worSingman was compelled. on ev-
cry pay ptlSs to keep his eyes wide open and
his wits about him to see that there were
no s5-cent dollars in his pay envelope. That
was because there were two kinds of
money in the country, and everybody who
had it desired to Shove" the cheap money
on somebody else as quickly as possible.
And a great many dishonest persons tried
to "shove" them as 1OO-cents dollars, and
succeeded very often when the other party
was not suspecting fraud.

Joe" Marley of Maine, lately Mr.
Blaine's friend and now Tom" Reed S,
was in London at the time of the running
of the last derby, and picked Lord Rose
bery's horse to win. He struck it right
and is said to have taken down pot of
money. Mr.. Manley's success at the Eng
lish betting ring is said to have increased
even his own confidence in himself as the
picker of the winner in the great American
political derby. However, there must be
great deal of difference. comparatively,
in the lines of Lord Rosebery's horse and
those of Tom" Reed.

A Severe Criticism.

Rev. a. NJ Williams, pastor of the Wes-
ley Monumental Church, in the course of
his sermon Sunday ION the Value of HUI
man Life" is reported to have said:
I'm ten months of 1894 there were 7747
honlcldes In the United States
what horror would come
over this whole country If cyclone
should take away the whole population of
Americas or an earthquake should engulf
Athens. Yet the malice and malignancy
of man has taken out OF existence a popu-
lation as large as either of these cities in
one year. My observation as to the pun
ishment of murder In the niger spheres of
life is that If 1 were shot down on my
way home my assassin, if a prominent
white man, would never receive the ulti-
mate punishment for his crime"
What a severe criticism upon this com
munity! And yet who will say it is un-
just? Is it not almost impossible to secure
the conviction of white man of promi-
nence of murder in this community? And
not in this community alone, but in very
many other communities in this country.
The delays in bringing the accused to trial
and the disposition of juries to excuse the
persons accused, all combine to defeat the
end of justice. What is needed is a health
Ter public sentiment in respect to punish
ment for the crime of murder. People
must be taught to have greater regard
for human life. When this is done trials
of persons accused of murder will be more
prompt and juries will come nearer doing
their duty

Citations of wholesale infanticide In that
city. Within two weeks the bodies of six
teen murdered infants have been found,
and during the past eight months lO2 bod
les have been found, all in the same dis
by strangulation with a cord. In one
case an infant had large rosebud forced

who commit the murders are professionals
at the work, and that they can be hired to
kill child for fee ranging from two
shillings to seven shillings.

1t is an old dodge of a trickster to ac-
cuse an opponent of the very schemes
mat he is silly resorting to. That is the
thlng the leading silverites are doing.
EVERY silver organ and orator begins
every utterance on the silver question
with denunciatory EXPLANATIONS directed
against the money power" ''shylocks, -
goldbugs, wall street." Lombard
street" and so forth.
The truth is they are following the
money power as no set of political
schemers ever did II must be acknowl-
edged that Jones, Stewart, Wolcott and
Sibley are the big four of the silver move
ment, and each of them are multi-mil-
honaires. The first three are large silver
mine owners, and the last is willing to
part with a portion of his great wealth
IN order to be elected President. He
Knows there is no opening for him in

War on Trust.
From the Springfield Republican Qnd)

War on the American Tobacco Com
pany, one of the most oppressive and ar
rogant of the trusts, has been begun by the
New England Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
tion. 1t relates only to the matter cigar
cites, but 1t shows the existence of a spirit
of hostility to the trust business AMONGST
the distributing trades, which is not likely
to prove helpful to the power of these
monopolies. The American Tobacco Com
pany has been enforcing its rule of holding
pack rebates from certain members of
the Grocers' Association who had dared
TO sell the products of other tobacco manu-
iaeturers, and now the whole association
mas undertaken to patronize a rival to-
Dacco company, in the effort to unhorse
inc overbearing and exacting monopoly.
