CONDUCTOR ALMOST TAINTED.

His Excitement

Forgot to Ring Up Three Fares in
His Excitement.
A conductor on a Broadway cable
car came near dropping dead on the
rear platform of his car last night. He
reeled and staggered and just had
strength to clutch the cord and ring up
a fare A couple, evidently father and
daughter, got on the car in the fal
downtown regions. They Chartered
in French to each other until the car
neared Thirty-fourth street. Then, in
polite tones, with scarcely a suspicion
of foreign accent, the presumable
father said:
..WilI you please stop the car at
Thirty-fourth street,"
The conductor gazed suspiciously at
the auestiener and hesitated for mo-
mont through force Of habit, but fl
nally decided to use his authority and
oblige the passengers. The car stop
ped, and as the two occupants got OF
each said: "Thank you"
The conductor gasped for breath and
staggered as if he had fit. He forgot
TO start the car before the passengers
were off, and was so completely over.
come that he failed to register the next
three fares.-New York Evening Sun.

LONDON, July 6.--Li Hung Chang,
tho bismarck of China will go to
the United States in September, to pre-
sent in person to the president letter
from the emperor of China. He is now
in Berlin, but will leave there in few
days for Paris, coming to London the
latter part of the month. He had ex-
pected to go to Washington the latter
part of August, but has postponed the
date of his departure from Europe I'M
til President Cleveland's return to
Washington from Buzzard's Bay. Some
concern is expressed at the American
embassy as to the plans that Ameri-
cans will adopt to entertain the dis
tinguished Monaghan, especially as
congress makes no provision for such
purposes. 1t is presumed that the
state governors and private citizens
will assist. Ii Hung Changes route
across the continent will probably take
him through Chicago, city he is par
ticularly anxious to see. His reception
at Berlin has surpassed, from a spec
tacular point Of view, all ceremonies
of like character. 1t remains to be
seen whether France and England will
beat Germany at this game.

CURIOUS FACTS

The Egyptians used pencils Of coll

1t is well known among oculist ex-

woodland has been increased by the

Many undertakers are now using
cheap collins pressed out of paper pulp.
When polished and stained such collins
look almost as we'll as those Of wood.
They last longer in the ground than
collins of wood or metal, and they can
be Theoretically sealed better than
heavy metal ones.
The up to-date cities now use street
sprinklers with wheel tires six inches

1t is claimed that paper pulp water
pipes have been tried in London with
success Besides being durable and
inexpensive, they are free from the
usual corroding influences affecting
metal pipes, and, moreover, are free
from the electrolytic effects of the

railway systems.
An English professor recommends
to persons suffering from dyspepsia,
