Another real good man goes wrong

Another real good man goes wrong,
and, preferring death to exposure,
pulls the trigger that sends him to a
suicides grave. George ]. Marsh was
known as a kind, generous, Christian
man in Gloucester, Mass, where for
years he had been treasurer of saw
ings bank and was entrusted with not
only the savings of his fellow-men, but
with the estate of widows and Or
ptans as well. Satan, with whom he
foolishly allowed himself to council,
told him he could get rich quick by
the use of other peoples money. If it
had worked that way this paragraph
would never have been written. Be-
ware of evil companions.

PITCHER JOHNSON WANTED.
II Brooklyn Can't Draft Him They
Would Like to TradC.

4 deal is on to trade Pitcher
Tommy" Johnson. of the Scranton
club. to Brooklyn. FOR Harper and q
money consideration. The proposition
comes from Brooklyn, but the Scran-
ton management has not come to any
conclusion in the matter.
a press despatch dated Washington,
D. c.. to the effect that johnson had
been drafted by the Phillies cannot be
verified here. The Scranton manage
ment has received no notice to that
effect.
That johnson will be drafte is be-
lieved by many. That he was not pur-
chased before the drafting season be-
gan is surprising. as he is certainly
more capable than many of the Ma
tional league twirlers. He likes Scran-
ton. though. is in business here and
wants to stay here, and it is not at
all certain that he will consent to go
away. He has the privilege of remain
ing if he wants to.
The Philadelphia management has
closely watched Johnson's work and
made inquiries concerning him. but had
advanced no draft or offer for him.

KILLED A TRAIN ROBBER.
Piucky United States Marshal FOiIs a
HOld.lTp Attempt in New Mexico.

Albuquerque, n. C., Oct. Am at
tempt to rob the east-bound passenger
train No. on the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad was made early last evening
by a gang of outlaws at Rio Puerco,
water tank station thirty miles from
this city. The train hau come to stop
and Engineer Ross had stepped down
from the caboose to adjust an engine
pin that was out OF gear when three
masked men appeared with drawn re-
volvers. They compelled Ross to un-
couple the engine and express car from
the train. Then they made for the ex-
press messenger and commanded him
to open the door of his car.
Deputy United States Marshal Loom
is. who happened to be on the car, heard
the commotion, and rushing forward
from the rear end of the train, drew
his revolver and tired several shots at
the robbers. The fire was returned and
for several minutes the fusilade of bull
let's was hot One of the outlaws stag
gered toward the bridge about 100
yards, and then dropped dead with
bullet through his brain. The other
two robbers became frightened and ran
away. The train men had many mar
row escapes, one brakeman having a
lantern shot from his hands.
The passengers were terroriZed dur
ing the fight, many of them seeking
safety under the seats. The dead out
law was recognized as Cole Young. a
noted desperate and leader of the gang
The men are believed to be members
of the band of robbers who have been
operating in the southern part of New
Mevico for some time.
The train left the scene of the at
tempted hold-up Immediately and ar
rived in this city at midnight last night
when the particulars of the affair were
told by Conductor Heady. He said De-
putty Marshal Loomis remained at Rio
Puerco, expecting the robbers to return
for the body of their dead companion.
posse of officers have gone from the
Atlantic Pacific junction to search for

SHE BlDED HER TIME.
He Told her All About u NOadertui
Greek aud GOt a Pointer In Return.


From the Livingston Post.
Perhaps the most popular man con
nected with the Park Transportation
company II Captain f. &. Culver, OF
Gardner. In addition to the duties OF
Justice Of the Peace. he makes daily
trips to the Park train and personally
interviews every man, boy, woman
and child who travels on 1t. He Is
walking encyclopedia of Park informa-
tion. He knows the height OF every
peak. the altidude Of every important
location, and can give you Professor
Haydens theory of the Parks geologi-
cal formation. Besides all this he Is
q prince of good fellows and has a fund
of humOr which sometimes carries him
away when touching up descriptions
and legends of the Park.
Some time ago the captain had an
experience which was too good to
keep. and he gave 1t away to a. friend
in town. He was going from the Springs
to Cinnabar. and there were three
very bright young ladies on the coach
One Of them asked IL it were customary
to have so many mosquitoes in so
high an altitude. The captain assured
her shat it was not usual; that they
Were increasing year by year; that no
mosquitoes We're ever known in the
Park until. about eight years ago, a
New Jersey schoOlma'am had carelessly
inclOsed some in her trunk and let them
out at Mammoth Hot Springs, when,
like rabbits in Australia, they became
an increasing pest.
All agreed that it was remarkable,
but one girl seemed to carry a smile
of incredullty. AS the conversation
continued, Mr.. Culver was asked what
he considered the most remarkable
thing i'm the Park. He said that II
beauty and grandeur We're to be left
out of the count. he thought the most
remarkable thing" was Alum Creek, a
little stream putting into the river be-
tween the falls and the lake. Originally
he said. the distance between the no.
tells at the lake and the falls was twen-
ty-siX miles, but when they commenced
ITO sprinkle the road between the two
places with water taken from Alum
Greek. som years ago, they soon found
the distance between the hotels short
ened by about eight miles. AS the ho-
tells were then only about eighteen
miles apart and the road still shrink
ing, the superintendent ordered them
to use no more water from Alum
creek. And then the captain told an
other little legend about the creek that
was quite well authenticated. Last year
he said, Chicago party went through
the park on a. camping tour. and a
young lady with them came into the
park wearing No. shoes. After camp
ing on Alum creek two days and bath
ing her feet she went home wearing
pair of No . CATERS.
At this point the girl with the incred-
ulous smile said to him.
Don't you think 1t would be good
plan to battle your head in that creek
a time OF two?'

DEATH OF WILLIAM MORRIS.
Well. English Poet Passes
Away..llis Life Work.

London, oct. 4.--William Morris, the
celebrated English poet. died at Ii
o'clock yesterday forenoon.
William Morris. poet. Socialist. and
artist, was born at Walthamstow, near
London. in 1894. His parents We're well
to do, and he was educated at Marl-
borough and at Exeter college. Oxford.
He was an excellent classical scholar,
but student who worked rather too
much after his own ideas to rank high
with the examiners. AT Oxford he met
Sir Edward Burne Jones, who was at
that time on the point of taking or
ders, and later, with Rosetti came
under the influence Of John Ruskin.
Morris. however, did not succeed as Il
painter. Nor did he continue his pro-
fession after having studied architcc-
ture.
In lSJS he published Il small volume
called "rhe Defence of Guenevere,
and this was later republished in 1873
In 1869 he started with several part
ners in London an establishment for
the production of artistic household
decorations. wall paper. stained glass,
and other decorative objects. He was
highly successful rs 4 designer, and
wrote poetry in his leisure hours. In
1867 he published '''lhe Life and Death
Of Jason" and three years later his
best known work. "Tnc Earthly Para
disc" appeared. 1t was published in
separate numbers during the two years
from 1865 to 1870. 1t is told in twenty
four romantic tales by travellers start
ing for an earthly Paradise. In 1873
Love is Enough" appeared, and his
subsequent works have been Il transla
tion of THE Aeneids or Virgil done in
to English verse; "The Story of Sig
url the VOlSunp" and yariouS trans.
lations from the Icelandic as well as
"The Glittering Plain" News from No
where" and various lectures on art and
socialism, of which he had been for
long time an earnest advocate. He was
q member of the Socialistic League in
London. and. although he had gained
many friends in England. his political
views prevented any prospect of his
ever getting the laureateship.

NOVEL PLAN TO TEACH HISTORY.

a history of the locality within radius

In delivering the invitation Colonel
Griffith reminded Major Mckinley that
he had earned his first commission as
lieutenant at the battle of Antietam, hav-

for bravery. and that there would be a
peculiar propriety in visiting the place
where his promotion began.
Major Mckinley said he was highly

and that If he had not made a resolution
to allow nothing to take him from home
he certainly would accept it. From now
until the election. he said, there viii be
continual demands upon his time and
