STUFFED THE TICKET ssLLeR.
How a Young Man Got PasteboaPd
STAN ped at q Railway Office.

How Young Man Got Pasteboard
Stamped at Railway Ofice.
Railroad managers make fine pre-
tense Of opposing tho ticket brokers.
In some States they have been instru.
mental In having laws enacted intend
cd to squclch the scalpcrs by making
their business illegal. AS a matter Of
fact, the ticket broker is one Of the
best aids in securing business passenger
agents have. and ordinarily they Will
do little better for scalpcr than for
a person who wishes ticket for his
own use. Once In n while, when excur-
sion tickets are being sold ut particu-
larry low rate. the railroads do not
wish the brokers to have the tickets at
all. Then they surround the handling
of the pastcboards with what they con-
slider safeguards sufficient to prevent
the brokers' getting slice of the pie.
But the brokers never miss good
thing. and the regular travellers make 1t
easy for the efforts Of the railroads to
be frustrated.
A pittsburg woman took Advantage
of one OF the cheap excursions to Mag.
ara Falls recently to pay a visit to rcln-
tives In Buffalo. The return portions
Of the ticket were made good only when
stamped by the agent or certain road
ut the Falls. The visitor did not wish
TO limit her stay In Buffalo to the time
for which the ticket was good. So a
few days before It expired she had 1t
taken to n ticket broker. who gave her
one Of later date In exchange for 1t.
a few days before she was ready to
come home her grandmother. an limo
cent old lady. went TO the Falls to have
the ticket stamped.
please stamp this ticket" she said
to the clerk.
where did you get this ticket. mad.
nm!' demanded the clerk in his grufi
est tones.
"wby. we got It from Mr.. Blank In
Buffalo," was the naive reply.
Sorry. madam. but that ticket II no
good" declared tho clerk. "Alr. Blank
has no right to sell these tickets
"Oh. but you must stamp It," pro.
tested the old lady. ITS for my grand.
daughter. and she must have 1t to 60 to
Pittsburg."
But the clerk did not care anything
for the old ladys granddaughter, and
he said 80.
She returned to Buffalo in great trepi.
dalton. and was met with merry
laugh by her sons-in.law. "Glvc me the
Ticket" said one. "rll get It stamped"
where did you get this tlckcti' ask
ed the man at the Falls In the same
gruR manner he had used toward the
old lady.
Cant you rcad?" was the interroga.
tive reply. "Glve me the ticket and I'll
read 1t to you, II you arc not able to do
So"
"Wcll. when did you get ~"
TITS dated. See for yourself"
"It's your place to tell me-" said the
clerk.
"Now. see here. II you aren't going
to stamp the ticket give 1t back to me.
and will see II there Is not means Of
making you perform your duty" and
the ticket holder made q blum ut being
indignant.
The blum worked. ana the ticket was
stamped without more ado. All Of
which shows the value Of knowing how.

Fourteen llespatrine brides.

At u0unslow yesterday there was
. remarkable scene when the Fourth
Hussars left by the 0:i5 train for South.
amptOn en- route for India. A detach.
ment Of 400 men In full marching or.
der. and under the command OF Col.
Ramsey. proceeded from Hounslow
barracks to the station. where they
were awaited by an immense crowd
Of friends, chiefly females. Among
the latter Were fourteen brides Of only
weeks experience Of married life,
and these were In a most distressed
condition. the poor women crowdlng to-
gether and cllnging with the fondest
affection to their husbands. The sol.
dlers quickly cntraincd, and after the
last goOd-bys had been spoken tho
train steamed out of the station, leav-
Ing the dIsc0ns0iats brides weeping
Historically Ia heap on the platform.
The fourteen privates were married
during the previous week without che
consent OF the colonel. and their wives
were. therefore. not entitled to accom-

Empty Revolvers.
SIsTERsvILLE, w. VA, Sept IA =
About II o'clock Saturday evening a
very sensational shooting affray took
place in which prominent physician
came near losing his life. The shoot
ing took place at the residence of Ross
Dulin on Catherine street
Mr.. Dulin's version of the story is as
follows. 81 got tip from friend and
went directly home. Cutting the
screen out of the kitchen window
crawled in and went into the sitting
my wife lying on the lounge. Sellers
jumped up, drew his gun and fred two
shots. then fred six shots, one took
effect in his arm and another in his alb
ious. The Doctor endeavored to get
out the front door but finding it locked
fed through the kitchen door taking
screen and all with him. l chased him
about half block loading my revolver
as ran. / fred my last shot about
half way up Main street. Going back
to the house found his hat, coat and
vest there"
Mrs. Dulin left the city on the early
train Sunday morning for the south
and her story is quite the reverse OF
her husbands. She said that Mr..
Dulin came running into the room
where the Doctor and she were play
ing cards, exclaiming Now l have
caught you" and opened fire with the
result above mentioned.
This affair has been kept as quiet as
possible owing to the standing of the
parties and is very deplorable affair

ADoubtful Platform.
(Bow;ing Green Courier.)

The boast that is made Of John G.
Carlisle being within himself Dem,
ocratic platform, is to the mind of the
people very confusing. The Democ-
racy do not know whether he stands
with Wall street, where Mr.. Cleveland
planted him when he entered the Cab
met, or whether he stands where he
did in Congress in 1878 when ne was
representing the Democracy of Ken
lucky. But that is for the reader to
Judge.
Here is what Mr.. Carlisle said in
1878 before he attempted his colossal
stride in 1895:
II shall not enter into an examina-
ton of the causes which have combin-
ed to depreciate the relative value of
silver, and to appreciate the value of
gold since 1878, but am one of those
who believe that they are transient
and temporary in their nature, and
that when they have passed away or
have been removed by the separate or
united actions of the nations most
deeply interested in the subject, the
old ratio of actual and relative value
will be re-established on a frmer
foundation than ever. ! know that
the worlds stock of precious metals
is none too large, and see no reason
to apprehend that it will ever become
so. Mankind will be fortunate, in
deed, If the annual production of
gold and silver coin shall keep pace
with the annual increase of popula-
ton, commerce and industry. Ac-

cording to my view of the subject, the
conspiracy which seems to have been
formed here and in Europe to destroy
by legislation, and otherwise, from
three-sevenths to one-half the metallic
money of the world is the most gil
gantic crime of this or any other age.
The contamination of such scheme
would ultimately entail more misery
upon the human race than all the
war, pestilence and famine that ever
occurred in the history of the world.
The absolute instantaneous destruc-
ton of half the movable property in
the world including horses, ships, rail
roads and all others appliances for
carrying on commerce, while it would
be felt more sensibly at the moment,
would not produce anything like the
prolonged distress and disorganiza-
tion of society that must inevitably
result from the permanent annihila-
ton of one-half the metallic money
of the world"

Gov. Boies, of Iowa, is candidate
for President and the Kentucky Dem
ocracv has some very high authority
for taking the position that he is a
better man for President than Mr..
Carlisle. In 1892 Kentucky cost Is
votes for Cleveland, 6 for Carlisle and
2 for Boies, in the Chicago Conven-
ton, and Henry Watterson and John
S. Rhea were the two Boies men. The
chances are that John Rhea will vote
the same way this year, but alas
Marse Henri has gone to Yurrup and
can't stand by the man he preferred
to Carlisle.
