SCBDUING A TERROR,

From the Punxsutawney Spirit
'I'm the best man on this train SHOUTED
an Intoxicated woodsman as he staggered
to the smoking car at little way station
on the Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburg
last Wednesday.
"Tm the best man on this train." he
repo ated and smacked his fists nercely.
As he repeated the assertion with addi-
tional emphasis dude who was smoking
cigarette sneaked into another car, and
the other passengers wore a troubled look.
But a man on a back seat. who lives In
Bradford walked up to the would-be ter
ror and said calmly:
stranger, you say you are the best man
on the train. II that is the case what is
the use In making such fus about 1t?
think you are the worst man on the train
Pcertainly the worst behaved. When i see
fellow acting like you are doing ] set
him down as cowardly bully. and a
miserable sneaking cur. Now st down."
The terror had evidently received a seri-
Gus setback, but he didn't like to appear TO
be too easily subdued. So he said:
"Think you are a better man than am.
do you?"
"I should hope so," said the other.
"You are a liar!' exclaimed the terror,
and made pass at him.
That Is where he made the mistake The
gentleman from Bradford let go with his
right and sent the fellow sprawling against
the iron portion Of a seat, cutting his head
so that it required five stitches to sew UP
the cash. After he had recovered some
what and began to realize what had hap
pened he said:
81 didn't think the dashed thing was
| loaded"

midas STRANGE People
Described by Rev. L. X. Jaaaey at
Cedar Avenue Church.
WORK WOMEN ACCOMPLISHED
They Are Better Able TO Pave the Way for
tho True Religion Than Are Men.
Largo Number of Converts
That Have Bcen Made.

Rev. L. II. Janney occupied the pulpit
at the Cedar Venue Methodist Episco-
pal church last evenlng. He Is an
American. recently returned from In
dia, In which country he labored eleven
years az n missionary among the heath
ems.
His discourse was chiefly a recount
ing of the manners and customs of the
natives and the peculiar fascination ex-
ercised over them by the Brahmin
priests. They do not avow what might
be termed religion: 1t is rather a
superstition In the performance of the
eXacting requirements. of which they
are exceedingly Jealous.
A Hindoo he said. guages his habits
actions. in fact the general terror OF his
life according to certain Superstitious
traditions. He believes that he cannot
eat. sleep. think. feel. see. know. or eX-
ercise any of his capabilities. outside of
Il certain defined groove. which is regu-
lated by the sway maintained over the
populaCe by Braminism.
Rev. Mr. Janrey paid grand tribute
to the missionary work being done 10y
women; they. he said. appear to be bet
ter able To unlock the error from the
hearts of the heather and pave the
way for true religion. He prayed tina,
more of them would take up the life.
For the past two years the number of
converted souls in India that have en-.
tered the fold of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, averages $4,000 per annum
He hoped to see this number Increase in
future years. The speaker was most elo.
quent. his whole heart and soul being
put into his sermon. The church was
crowded to hear him.

frozen he was clearly entitled to booze
for medical purposes. A delegate was
sent over to the Bay Furnace and got
the whiskey. which was given to Red
blanket, who then entered into the de-
bate which followed. This was as to
his status.
Was He Legally Dead7
Certain constitutional lawyers held
that he was legally dead, and the settle
ment was entitled to the Joy and eclat
of his funeral. They favored beating
him upon the head until he became a
corpse de facto as well as de jure.
Others maintained that his case was
one of suspended animation only. The
cold came upon him so suddenly that
there had been no LESSONS or failures
of the tissues such as would accompany
an ordinary freezing. and his faculties
had simply CONCEALED and had been held
in allegiance. Therefore he had not been
dead. but simply stood in the position OF
one who for any reason or cause had
taken an uncommonly long slumber.
Redblanket's case was going against
him, and he might have got the worst
of 1t had he not offered to devote the
proceeds of his bale of skins to the pur-
chase of tobacco and such Illicit essence
OF Jamaica ginger as might be bought
OF venturesome Marquette druggists
for the general consumption of the
camp. This offer was accepted in lieu
of his life.
THE dogs. which had been piled up.
We're then brought In. and being exposed
to the heat also revived. But one was
lost. This had fallen off the sledge,
having been insccurely loaded. and dis
arranged some OF his interior mech
anism. Coffee told the story with every
indication of truthfulness, and beside
made profcrt of his dog in evidence.
the animal was a grandson of one of
Redblankets sledge-dogs," concluded
Mr.. Trude.

AN EXPENSIVE HABIT.
From the San Francisco Post.

From the San Francisco Post.
II am going to learn to ride the wheel.
Won't that be lovely?" she exclaimed
joyously, as they stood at the front gate.
Let me see, how do you get on?' and
she took hold of the handle bars on his
wheel.
"This is mans wheel, and you couldn't
ride it without boomers" he explained.
"Oh, that reminds me. The funniest
thing happened to-day" and she prodded
the gate post with her hat pin as she re-
lated the experience. 81 went into store
on Kearney street to get me bicycle
suit. Let me see some bloomers, please,
| asked the clerk. He smiled and inquired,
with or without?' With or without
what" asked. why, with or without a
skirt Wasn't that cute?"
She was assured that 1t was and then
the young man concluded 1t was time to
go.
Guess I'll have to pump up that hind
tire" he remarked as he observed that 1t
had about collapsed.
He adjusted the pump and worked away,
but the air whistled out through a hum
dred little punctures. 1t suddenly dawned
on the young lady that the habit Of jab-
bing her hat pin into everything in sight
had cost her young man new tire.

Unlike the police of New York and

of curiosity. and several of those who

yesterday. prompted by the present
Sabbath observance agitation, made 4
mental note OF the condition Of affairs
In their respective precincts.
Their reports, as brought out in a
casual conversation at the station house
last evening. tended to show that the
saloonkeepers were variously affected
by the Knowledge that spoilers were
going about. looking for violation OF
the Sunday laws.
At one of the most prominent hostel
cries in the city the day was as dry as
II was at Hotel Jermyn. Guests were
not even permitted 20 enter the bar
would anything that had to come from
the bar be served in the rooms. This
caused much complaint among the
guests, especially the permanent board
ers; but the landlord was inexorable,
ana as consequence many a long
drawn out thirst was the result.
No Inducements Offered.
At the majority of the other first
class hotels the same or almost as
stringent rules obtained. Some served
customers In unoccupied bedrooms and
some In the dining rooms, which were
kept open for the purpose. but at no
place OF any pretensions were any in
ducements offered to the trade

Some of the saloonkeepers seemed to

tators had been legally sat upon by an
alderman that all fear from that quar-.

WORK OF THE UMPIRE.

They waited at the city gate,
Nor spake they any word.
The multitude ga2ed anxiously,
And scarcely breathed or stirred.
Bethought they not of heat or sun,
Though strongly beat it down,
But waited there with anxious hearts
The people of the town.
Assembled were the burghers proud,
And with them ladies fair,
And by the side of these the poor,
For every one was there.
The high, the low, the young. the old,
Who came In rags or state.
Together in that fateful hour
They waited at the gate.
And suddenly a mighty shout
From a hundred thrcais arose,
Aad thrice a hundred throats the cry
Take up. and on It goes.
Swelling mighty chorus then.
The clamor fills the way,
As all the multitude exclaims:
"They come. They come! 'Tis they!
Afar upon thp highway now
A figure is deserted,
Al0ne!' All eyes are SVrulneu. AlOIlt
With no one by his slde."
And near he comes until they SEQ
He walks with faltering feet
And dropping head, nor rise his eyes
The multitude to greet.
"What BODIES it?" cry the burghers,
Thus cry the ladies fair,
Likewise the poor and all OF those
Who are assembled there.
flushed again their voices all,
with faces blanched they wait,
And hang upon the lips of him
Who stands within the gate.
Thrice tries the man word to say,
And tries he yet again.
Three times his quiverlng lips do part,
Three times they part In vain.
At last he speaks. and speaking low,
He tells the city's shame;
Those near him only heard him gasp:
1.-THE umpire stole the game"
In Edinburgh on Flodden's day
All hearts were filled with woe
At thought Of battle bravely fought
And lost, and yet trow
That grief was not to be compared
To what to Leesvlle came.
When from the Liver Eaters
The umpire stole the game.
