ADDRESS By GEN. 90. HOWARD.
Delivered at Dwight Place Church Last
Evening-An Audience of Nearly 1000
Persons Present.

An immense audience, numbering
nearly one thousand people, was pres
ent at Dwight Place church last even
ing to hear the brave and famous Cen
eraI o. o. Howard of the United States
army speak General Howard has
spoken in the city before and is we'll
known here as forcible speaker. He
last evening made an eloquent appeal
for all his hearers to lead thoroughly
Christian lives. He interspersed his
address with several anecdotes and in
cidents illustrative of his remarks. The
address was most interesting.

or anv other article of food were placed IN
the oven and the electric current turned
into the wires the turkey would cook from
the center outward. In other words, the
cooking would commence within the body
of the turkey and proceed gradually out

only explanation given is that the oven IS

An Electric Locomotive.


The Baldwin Westinghouse electric To-
comotive, just com pleted, is the first one
of the kind in the world, and, besides the
fact that it is expected to make seventy
five miles an hour, it has other claims to
attention.
Not the least Of these, says the New
York World, is the revolution that it will
doubtless create in the lives OF locomotive
engineers, and they belong to one of the
most important classes Of citizens in this
country. Shielded behind the glass win.
dows that frame them in, with no smoke,
SCOT, CRIME or grease, there is no reason
why the engineers OF the future should
not dress exactly as the president of the
road does, unless q uniform be deemed
desirable.
The new locomotive is thirty EIGHT feet
long by nine feet wide. 1t is mounted on
eight wheels, forty-two inches in diameter.
The wheels are of wrought iron, spoke
centered, with heavy steel tires. The ma
chine without the motor weighs thirty
tons. The electric equipment will add
thirty tons.
A compartment eight feet square is all
that will be required to operate the mech
anism, and the remaining space may be
utilized in any way tnat is desired.
The electric equipment consists of four
250-horsepower moters geared so as. to
regulate the speed. In appearance these
motors are like those used on trolley-cars,
but they are much larger. One man will
run them. He will be called the driver.
He will view the track from a window di-
rectlv in front and above a powerful

Crooked RaiIroadine.

An engineer who formerly ran on the
Decorah division, known among the rail-
road bows as the .speayinep on account of
its many curves, tells of a remarkable oc-
currence that happened near Brainard,
where the railroad is said to be as
crooked as anything to be found in
the State. A freight train was being fol-
lowed close by the passenger, both being off
time on account of washout. A head
light was placed on the rear of the caboose
as warning to the passenger train which
followed. Suddenly the train came to a
halt. The engine was reversed, and the
engineer and fireman were seen to Jump.
The train was on a part of the road that
was SO crooked that the engine had turned
around, and seeing the headlight on the
rear end OF the caboose, they thought they
were going to have head-end collision

A Ticket Holder.

that will be very convenient for commut-

along the guide-rod D; and on releasing
the wire A the spring in it will return the

whole is incased in neat morocco cover
ing the popping in and out of the ticket is,
to say the least, very mysterious. Mr.

chance of finding a fortune. M.
Jean Renaud now says the lucifer
match is due to Charles Sauria. fellow
student of NJ. Grevy at the Lycees of
Poligny and Dole. Sauria vainly tried to
obtain 1500f to work his invention, which
he communicated to NJ. Nicolet, the pro-
fessor of chemistry and natural phil
osophy at the Dole Lycee. Renaud often
saw Nicolet use at his class lectures phos-
phorous and sulphur to strike lights. He
gave Sauria credit for the invention. In
1881 Nicolet was sent on a. scientific mis-
sion to Germany. He was instructed to
see to what account chemistry had been
turned in arts and manufacture. There his
tour embraced the industrial cities of Aus
tria and Hungary. What, asks NJ. Renaud,
is more probable than that he should have
spoken there of Sauria lucifer match? 1t
may be that the three Austrians, Sauria
and Sir Isaac Holden thought out the mat

A short time ago Rogers Prat was sent to

following the ''artist" received the ira

written in the following immutable terms:

veritable "Jim the penman."

Many stories of skill in initiative pen
manship are told, but the following, re-
lated by an English authority is probably
the most wonderful authentic case ever
recorded.
In 1860 Robert Stewart. famous master
of penmanship, executed a five pound Bank
Of England note with such marvellous ac-
curacy and reality that he was wayiaid in
the streets one night and robbed of the
note by ruffian who had seen it in his
possession q few hours previously. Stew
art, indignant at the treatment to which
he had been subjected, gave chase to the
thief, and with the assistance of the police
succeeded in recovering the sham note.
AT the subsequent Police Court proceed
suspicion as to the genulneness of the note
which was. handed round to the various
persons engaged in the case.
A few weeks later Stewart, who was
personal friend of the cashier of the local
(Newcastle- -Tyne) bank, took the note
to him one morning ana asked that it
might be cashed. In return 1or it he re-
ceived five sovereigns and left the bank.
An hour or two afterward he paid a Sec
ond visit to his friend the cashier, and,
taking him on one side, confessed that the
note was forgery and refunded him the
money. The cashier, whose surprise was
great, refused to believe the note was a
counterfeit, and was not convinced until
Stewart had executed another one in his
presence.-New York Mail and Express.

being formed for use as desk. The mer-

Louise Michel's Tame Rats.

Mile. Louise Michel called attention,
after long period of imprisonment, to the
sociable and other qualities of rats. She
taught her three cats to live amicably
with troops of rats that visited her at regu-
lar hours twice day. The cats began by
attacking the rats and killing one and
breaking the leg of another. Mile. Michel
tended the injured rat and thus won the
confidence of its fellows. One of their
virtues was respect for the aged, another
was family feeling, another compassion
for unfortunate brethren. The governor
OF the prison used to send the broken
bread from his table for the prisoners
foor-footed visitors, and often came him
self to witness the visits. A NJ. Armand
