JOHN JACOB ASToR AS ENGINEER.
He Gives an Exhibition Of Skill and Fast
Running.
John Jacob Astor the other day dem
onstrated to a party composed of the Oil
GERS. directors and several of the largest
stockholders of the Illinois Central rail
road that he can run a locomotive engine
with ease.
He took possession of the engineer S
side of the cab at Fulton, Ky, after
breakfast. and did not yield the throttle
to the engineer until. six hours later. he
had brought the train to a standstill at
Horse Branch, 175 miles nearer Louis
vile.
In that distance Mr.. Astor frequently
attained a speed of sixty miles an hour.
and on one stretch between Mayfield and
Paducah of sixty-fve miles an hour. He
made FIVE stops for railroad crossings
and three other stops for water. He
showed a familiarity with the running
card which surprised the engineer more
than it did President Stuyvesant Fish
and the other members of the party.
In addition to the $4,000 of bonds
left in trust for him conditionally upon his
remaining sober for FIVE years, George
Croker, second son of the deceased mil
lionaire. has just come into possession

SPINNING WHEEL.

Duclos, the cynical philosopher of the
Eighteenth century, was on one occasion
supping with two or three great ladies,
and he advanced the proposition that the
women who lead bad lives are the ones
who take offence at a racy story or a
licentious expression; that good women,
secure in their own virtue, are amused
by and smile at them. From this he
went on to relate one story after anoth-
err, until finally one of the ladies ex-
claimed: "Oh,. stop! stop! Duclos; you
are taking us to be altogether too virtu-

NAMED a bachelor rather than make

cluded to make a choice regardless OF

A new sleeping car is being intro
duced which is reasonably certain to
fill a "long-felt want" BY a simple
mechanical device the berths are low
cred below the floor of the car, which,
when done, transforms the same into
a roomy parlor car. When the berths
are raised the chairs are placed in the
holes left vacant by the berths. Large
windows run almost to the roof, thus
giving equal ventilation to each berth.
There is also three or four inches more
space between the berths than there is
in the Pullman or the Wagner. The
car is a very handsome affair, and is
making a tour of the country for the
inspection Of railroad officials.

There are degrees and kinds of poverty,
just as there are differences OF opinion
among those who compute and measure
poverty and riches by different standards.
Some men deem themselves poor because
they are less rich than others. again there
are comparatively poor people who are

kind Of poverty for which no amount Of
wealth can compensate, namely, q poverty

Topeka, Kas., March 21.-A ase

from Pratt county, where Mrs. Robert
Grist is dying in great agony because
Of a snake bite 80 years ago when a lit
tie girl in Indiana. A monster rattle
snake thrust its fangs into the little

saved her life. The wound healed and
the patient experienced no trouble un-
til a week ago, when the seal where
the snake had bit her became inflamed.
Physicians we're summoned for consul
tation. First the limb and then the
entire body yielded to the effects Of the

from surrounding towns met and aban-
doned all hope for the woman, and
death is now hourly expected. They
say 1t is the only case OF the kind ever
reported in medical science.

A Bride for the Asking.

In the church of Santa Maria An
nunziata, at Naples, girls assemble
once a year for the purpose Of being
chosen in marriage. On the day OF
Our Lady, before its alter kneels a ST.
lent row Of 80 girls dressed in black,
and with folded hands. They are
orphans Of the neighboring founding
asylum, and once a year those who
have reached the age of IS have a
chance OF being chosen in marriage by
any honest man whose character is
good.
At the door leading to the sacristy,
says the Richmond Star, stands e gray
haired priest. the head of the found
ling institution. By and by a young
man approaches him and hands him a
packet OF papers. These the priest
reads carefully, and, being satisfied,
leads the candidate to ward the row Of
girls. The man walks slowly along
the row-at last he stops; his choice
is made, and he stretches out his hand.
The girl rises, puts out her hand into
that Of the stranger by way Of consent,
and together they disappear into the
sacristy. The ice having been broken
others follow, and this goes on until
the suitors are exhausted, or all the
girls have been chosen.
