UnrecOnciled to defeat, the govern

in proclamation seemingly addressed
to the Deity. A statute directs him
to set aside the last Thursday in No
vember as day of giving thanks, and
though he chews the bitter cGd of dis
appointment and chagrin, he complies
with the form if not the spirit of the
law. 1.-The people of Arkansas" he
says, care infinitely indebted to their
Maker for the blessings of good health
and for measure of social and mate
rial prosperity that it has not been

When Mr.. Sage heard of it, he was

had no right to kill the horse, and then
it struck him that it might be we'll to
ascertain if the mares leg was really
broken. So he hired a veterinary sur

The surgeon found, it is said, that the
leg was not broken; that the skin had
been rubbed off merely, and that, with
a little attention, the animal would
have been all right in few days.

Millionaire Russell Sage Exhumes Horse
and Sues For 800.
When Russell Sage hears Of a man
bringing suit against one of his rail-
roads, his indignation knows no bounds,
and he rails against those persons who,
he says, "are always waiting for a
chance to mulot a corporation. When
he is DESTROYS of providing rapid transit
for the city, he wants the oity to indem.
nifty him and his associates against
suits for damages. That is Russell Sage
preaching.
When Russell Sage finds that any Pc
cuniary damage has been inflicted on
him by corporation, he loses no time
in suing for PREPARATION. That Is Russell
Sage in practice. Ergo, Unole Sage
doesn't practice what he breaches.
Mr.. Sage is about to sue for the large
sum Of 500.
1t is all about horse, and the Erie
Railroad company is the defendant.
Mr.. Sage, in order to secure proof to
Justify him in beginning his action,
was forced to exhume the body of the
horse.
Mr.. Sage owns a small farm up the
state, near BIauveltville, which is on
the Piermont branch of the Erie road.
There he kept, among other animals,
four horses The morning of Oct 26
they wandered from the Sage farmyard
and went on rampage down the rail
road track. A freight train was slowly
putting along, and the horses had no diff
loulty in keeping well to the front
When they reached the West Shore
bridge, the mare Nellie, Mr.. Sage says,
in scurrying across the bridge, got her
leg wedged in between the ties and fell
The trainmen, as tenderly as possibl@
lifted her from the track. They say, in
their report to the company, that the
mares leg was broken, and that as it
was impossible to save her they shot
her and thus put her out of misery.
They notified the legal department of
the road, as is usual in such cases, and
also placed value on the animal.

Seeing by Wire.
n Cassell's Family Magazine

From Cassells Family Magazine
Will 1t ever be possible to enable the per-
sons who speak with each other by tele-
phone to see one another at the same time
as Tin a glass, darkly," perhaps. but still
face to face?" Will it ever be feasible for
a man in London to see opera in La Scala,
or the Falls Of Niagara, or the Feast of
Lanterns, in Canton, without stirring from
home? 1t is a captivating idea, and, al
though we cannot pronounce with certain
ty, there Is a good deal to be said in favor
Of the possibility of its realization.
To begin with, it is known that light is
merely a form Of energy, or. as the late
Prof. Tyndall would call 1t, a mode of
motion" 1t Is, in fact. a wave-like motion
in the exquisite medium that We call the
luminiferous ether, which is understood to
permeate all bodies. The waves resemble
those set up in water when stone is drop
ped into it; that is to say. they are trans
verse rays. the particles of water rising
and falling alternately across the line on
which the waves travel. In this respect
light differs from sound, in which the par
ticles Of air conveying the sound vibrate to
and fro along the course of propagation of
the sound. Now 1t has been found Of late
years that waves similar to those of light
in all but size can be set up in the luminif-
erous ether by oscillatory discharges of
electricity, and there is growing evidence
to show that some well-known effects of
electricity are the result Of wave motions
in the ether Of the same kind as those of
light.
If, therefore, We could find a means of
Transforming the waves of light into CORE
spending electric waves and transmit these
to distance by wire. or even without
wires, then retraEsform them back again
into light. the problem would be solved.
The progress CT electrical research appears
to tend in that direction.

A HORSE DIES FROM GRIEF.
He Was Separated From His Mate
and Died fn "a Short Time.

and Died In a short Time.
From the Kentucky Stock Farm.
The emotional life Of horse is remark
able There are instances on record where
the death of the horse has been traced
directly to grief. One instance is called to
mind, which occurred more than twenty
years ago. A circus had been performing
in the little town of Unionville Pa, when
one of the trained horses sprained one of
his legs so that he could not travel. He
was taker to the hotel and put in a box
stall. The les was bandagei and he was
made as comfortable as possible.
He ate his food, and was apparently con-
tented until about midnight, when the cir
Gus began moving out of town. Then he
became restless and tramped and whined.
AS the caravan moved past the hotel he
seemed to realize that he was being de-
serted, and his anxiety and distress be-
came ptiful. He would stand with his
ears pricked in an attitude of intense list
ening, and then as his caught the
sounds of the retiring wagons he would
rush, as best he could with his injured leg,
from one side Of the stall to the other,
pushing at the door with his nose and max
ing every effort to escape. The stablenan.
who was a stranger to him, tried to sootne
him, but to no purpose. He would rot be
comforted.
Long after all sounds of the circus had
poured from him IN streams and he Quiv-
cred in every part Of the body. Finally
the stableman went to the house, woke up
the proprietor and told him he believed the
horse would die II some of the circus horses
were not brought back to keep him COM
pany. At about daylight the proprietor
mounted horse and rode after the circus
He overlook II ten twelve miles away,
and the groom VINO had had charge of the
injured horse, returned with him. When
thew reached the stable the horse was dead.
The stableman said that he remained for
nearly an hour perfectly still and with
every sense apparently strained to the ut
most tension, and then, without making a
sign, fell and died with scarcely a strug-
gle. The veterinarian who was called re-
marked after the circumstances were told
him that unquestionably the horse died
from grief. II 1T is possible for all the
mental faculties Of the horse to become
abandoned to grief to such an extent as to
cause death, how much more does he ap-
peal to the sympathy and regard of man.

high-handed or arbitrary procedure. then
the feeling was ripe for the rebellion, which
had been latent.
Among the presidential candidates there
was but little change. The leading candi-
dates seemed to have reached their full
strength and to have come to a standstill.
The efforts of the Bland leaders to win over
southern delegations had not proved as sIc-
cessful as was hoped, as Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Georgia were standing out against
the movement.
The Boies men were in some confusion
over the split in the Iowa delegation, which
was manifested on the first call of states

by the failure of the Bland men to win solid
southern support. The feeling still pre-
vailed that it was any ones race, and that

The Dead Soldier Was a Woman.

A story comes from Butler county, Kan,
which is as romantic as 1t is strange and
peculiar. While a terrific storm was rag
ing Otto Schaffer, hermit farmer who
had lived there many years. took shelter in
his cabin and was offering up a PRAYER for
protection when a bolt of lightning de-
molished the house and killed him. Neigh
bors found the body on the floor and sum.
moned the coroner, who prepared the body
for burial. and in doing so made a discoy-
cry that has been the talk Of the county.
He says Schaffer was a woman. The de-
ceased was an ex-soldier, and participated
in many battles Of the war. Despite this
discovery the Grand Army veterans turn
ed out and gave Schaffer a soldiers burial.
An incident happened in the burial serv-
ices which the old comrades believe was
a warning sent from God. As one of the
comrades fired last salute over the empty
grave into which the coffin was being low
cred it was found that the gun was loaded
with ball as well as powder. and the shot
killed a dove which was flying over. The
dove fluttered and fell on the coffin dead
