JOHN l.. v A LIFE.

Her Life.

BOSTON, Mass, April 81 John L.

a oma from fire in Dover street to.
night. A kettle of fat upset and caught
fire in the kitchen of No. 81 Dover
street, Margaret DoDnelly, the cook,

her clothing caught fire.
Sullivan was in one of the upper
rooms of the house, and, hearing the.
woman'sscreams, heran to the kitchen.
He started in to extinguished the
flames on the burning servant with his
hands.
When the clothing had been either
torn or burned from her body he real
lied that his hands were badly burned.
He accomplished his task, however, and
probably saved the woman's life.
The police we're notified and the wO,
nan was taken to the city hospital,
where she lies in a precariOus condition.
Sullivan asked the police not to men
ton the incident, as he did not care to-
have it get into the newspapers.

HONESTLY MONEY MENA AT WORK
Systematic Effort to Capture the Cook
County Delegates.

Chicago, April pa Systematic
effort will be made by the Honest
Money League" recently organized in
this State, to capture the Cook county
delegates to the State delegation, which
is to define the position of the State
Democracy in the monetary question.
At a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the league, held at the Palmer
House yesterday, it was the general
sentiment a contest with that object in
view should be made at the primaries
to select delegates, which is to be held
May Sd. 1t is likely that at the meet
ing of the committee next Wednesday
it will be decided to place ''honest
money" delegates in the field in every
ward. An elaborate plan of education
will form an important part of the
campaign against the free coinage
movement. Mass meetings will be held
throughout the city, and the State will
be flooded with honest money litera-
ture within the next ten days. The
declaration i'm favor of honest money,
which is being circulated in the city
among Democrats. has already re-
ceived a large number of signatures.

Cattle in Texas.

ST. LOUIS, April ga special from
San Antonio, Texas, says that meagre
particulars have reached there Of a
terrible haiI-storm that swept through
adjoining counties last evening. A
courier arrived this morning from the
town of Lyttle, twelve miles south of

damage to buildings will amount to
not less than $3.50, 600. The storm came
from the northwest, and the hailstones
came down by the million for twenty
minutes, covering the ground to the
depth of two feet. The hailstones were
as large as hens eggs, ard the Interna-
tiOnal and Great Northern Railroad
vas blOckaded with them. Section
hands had to clear the track before
trains could be run over that part of
the line.
The hailstones came down with such
terrible force that they made sleeves
out of frame houses. Large numbers
of live stock were killed. The storm
did great damage to property at Cas-
torville, Lacrosse, Eagle Lake, and
Benton City, but no particulars have
vet been received from those places.
There was no loss of life, go far as re-
ported, although many persons were

the old bird would discover 1t. So next
morning bright and early we were off over
the prairie and put the bird where he
found it, and as 4 meadow lark was piping
near he went back merrily to school.
| was staving in a little village in the re-

had young fellow studying with me who
was much interested in ornlthology, and
when the nesting season began he tried
to collect woodpeckers' and other birds
eggs. The children of the village school
found him at his work and were so horri-
fed at what they considered his cruelty
that in future he had to pursue his tactics
far from their observation. This was an
unusual trait to me in school children, re-
Numbering how in England the village
boys delight in "sacking" nests and de-
stroying both eggs and young birds.
Backwoodsmen and frontiersmen are
proverbially kind to animals, much more
so generally than city folk. A water ouzel
had built her nest under the piles of dam

"Hands'' to watch the little bird fitting to

to listen to his CHEEKY song, and watch his
antics in the water. One day bird col

of him.
There were no guards this time to keep
boy out of the fair grounds, and presently
Frank found himself walking around the
central court without exactly knowing
how he got there.
1t was very cold and pretty soon our poor
little chap made the startling discovery
that he had come all the way out to the
fair in white nightgown! Hefelt so much
ashamed and so very frightened and cold
that he shivered and cried a good deal be-
fore he could think of anything else to do.
There was not a soul in sight, and all

big moon was shining overhead, and Frank
could see everything just as we'll as if it

that the people who lived over there must
know very well how it feels to be cold, and
he thought that, perhaps they might be
kind enough to help him in his trouble.
So he hurried along, and going to one of
the funny little white houses he knocked
quite bravely on the door. Somebody
stirred inside, and presently a woman
opened the door and began to say things
Frank couldn't understand. He fell on his
knees and began to talk TO her, with many
tears: "Oh, please, please, Mrs. Esquf-
mau," he said. II am very, very cold.
Will you please to give me shawl or
something to cover me up and make
