MISS PuLLMAN,s ENGAGEMENT.

One American Heiress Who EIudes the
Shares OF Foreign Fortune Hunters.
There will be dismay in the camps of
the European fortune hunters when the

suitors, foreign or domestic, for her

A cABLE CAR COMEDY.
THO Passengers Became Frantic With An
ger, but Their Anger Was II Timed.

Tho Passengers Became Frantic with An
ger, but Their Anger Was H Timed.
1t was at Broadway and Thirty-third
street that very young and very pretty
girl, her face flushed with anger, boarded
cable car. Behind her there followed a
gilded youth, wearing a top hat and q
long coat, with flower in the buttonhole.
The pretty girl sat down in the left hand
seat nearest the front door of the car, and
the gilded youth sat down directly oppo-
site her and regarded her with pleasant
smile, whereat the pretty girls face be-
came deeper and angrier red. This did
not seem to feaZe the youth particle,
and he continued to regard her with a fas-
cinating grin that attracted the attention
OF several of the other passengers on the
Car.
When the conductor made his rounds,
tho young lady fumbled in her purse for
her fare, and the young man produced q
dime, remarking, 1.-TWO, please The
conductor, who had not observed the con-
ditions under which the pair had entered,
rang up two fares, whereupon the pretty
girl put up her purse and stared at the
floor, her eyes filling with indignant tears.
The young man continued to gaze at her
attentively with the same amused smile
that he had worn since he entered the car,
and several of the passengers, who had
been watching him, instinctively clinched
their fists and awaited an opportunity to
take the pretty girls part.
The girls glance continued to be fas-
tened upon the floor, and she bit her lips,
while the gilded youth kept his eyes upon
her. The car had reached Fortieth street,
however, before any one came to her res
cue. Then white haired old gentleman
signaled to the conductor, who had become
cognizant of the state of affairs and was
regarding the young man with some dis
pleasure.
Conductor, said the old gentleman as
that officer came to the front of the car,
lust put that young ruffian off. I have
daughters myself he added to the rest of
the passengers, who looked their approval,
land L won't see young lady insulted in
this manner
"If the conductor doesn't put him of, .
observed another gentleman, ''I'u do it
myself
The conductor rang the bell for the car
to stop and addressed the offending youth:
Come, now, get off the car, - he said.
"What for?'' asked the young man,
ccasing to smile.
Fer mashin," relied the conductor.
'Get move on, quick!''
'Or I'll give you some valuable assist
ance with my boot" observed the passen-
ger who had spoken before.
If one Of you lays hand on me, re-
sponded the gi1ded youth, I'm break his
wooden head. That girl is my sister, and
she's mad because 1 wouldn't take her to
the matinee this afternoon, that's ALL
land wish you'd all attend to your
own affairs!' exclaimed the pretty girl as
she burst into tears. And then the con-
dEctor rang the bell, and the car started.

SKATING NOW THE THING.
The Bicycle Has Rival-New Kinks Of
Artificial Ice.

The Bicycle Has a Riva1-New Kinks cs
Artificial Ice.
The all conquering bicycle has rival.
Every woman with a little muscle and
time to spare is learning to skate. She
has just found out that next after wheel
ing ice skating is about the most anus
ing, exhilarating, not to say becoming,
sport in which one can indulge. The

Quate small brother as assistant on the
nearest rough surfaced pond. London
and Paris were among the first cities
with accommodation for rink skating,
and now one by one the big American
towns are adopting the plan, but on
vastly improved scale, and she who is
ambitious for icy accomplishments pays
80 cents entrance fee and gets lesson
of half an hour.
The American Kinks are built long
and oval in shape, with steps leading
down from a promenade gallery to the
rink pit, round which runs circle of
leather seats, and where the temporal
ture stands between 40 and so degrees.
Up in the promenade the heat rises to a
point near 20, and an old waxed floor
could not show more exquisite surface
than does the skating arena. It's boards
are crossed by hundreds of small pipes
connected at the back of the building
with huge refrigerating machine that
pours freezing air through every tube.
When an ice surface is to be laid, the
great brine tank sends forth salt and
water to cover pipes and floor for a few
inches, and in less time almost than ma
ture herself could do it the rink pit is a
solid, shining frozen sheet. So carefully
is the process carried out that not rut
or lump mars the perfect spread, and
yet the surface is sufficiently soft to give
the skate blade plenty of grip. With
such opportunities one could almost of

~ that portion of it adjacent to Chica-
go, is the best place to live in after all.
She has been literally educated and has
travelled much, both in this country and
abroad. She is not as devoted to society
as was her sister Harriet, who married
Mr.. Carolan of San Francisco about four
years ago. Miss Pullman has large
amount of executive business ability
and in her disposition is said to greatly
resemble her father, who has already
endowed her with a handsome fortune
in stocks and bonds.
Mr.. Lowden, the fortunate man, is
hustling young lawyer who spends more
of his time in developing his growing
practice than he es in leading the GER
man. He was DO in Sunrise City,
Mimi, about "a years ago. At the age
of 20 he entered the Iowa State univer-
sity and taught school during vacations
to help pay his tuition. He graduated
with honor and struggled along until
he had fitted himself as a lawyer and
was admitted to the bar. He has made
a speciality of corporation law and has
been singularly successful during his six
years of practice in Chicago. The we'd
ding is to occur next June.

THE silver question is before the coun-
try. Let congress settle that and there
will be no trouble in passing a suitable
tariff measure. If silver is restored,
even the present tariff law will afford
sufficient revenue. More business
is what the country needs; the necessary
increase in revenue will follow.

THE National Bank of Troy N. Y. closed
its doors last Saturday because of a run on
the bank which began several days previ-
Gus. A prominent citizen fell dead near

an actual run. The bank has capital OF

have refused to listen to any proposition

them to manage their property if they made
any concessions. The courts say they are
powerless unless the sheriff brings the Of

owners explaiz. that the sheriff holds the

Armenians were killed at Egin, and those
