A TUCSON ELOPEMENT.
Precipitated by Jealous Woman Who
 Made Bloody Promises.

Tucson Star: There was lately an elopement from Tucson. The central figure in the outgoing was Carrie Cleveland, otherwise Carrie Godfrey, still otherwise Carrie something else, a saloon singer whose name, face and voice are familiar in all the principal towns on the coast. She came here from Phoenix a month ago. Soon af- ter her arrival a gambler was smitten but he was encountered by Mexican woman.
 Wild scenes succeeded the discovery of his new formed attachment for the saloon singer and the Mexican woman made b,ood-curdling promises ito make important anatomical discoveries among the vital organs of the saloon singer. Neither the saloon siner nor the gambler believed the jealous wo- man was holding this conversation through her hat, so they went away, presumably to San Francisco. Miss Cleveland, or Miss Godfrey furnishes striking example or the speed which one can attain when travelling down hill when one once gets the right kind of start. A few years ago she was a famous member of the Conrad Opera company and was later connected with its reorganization, the Calhoun Opera cOmDany

Trapping a Robber.

A curious story is told by the Vienna correspondent of the London News. A young man, the representative of large firm, who carried large sum of money with him, recently spent the night at hotel at Presburg. As usual, he remained some time smoking in bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell to the floor. He bent over to extin- guish it, when he saw hand projected from under the bed to put the cigar out. It made him very uncomfortable. He lay awhile and then saying, aloud: 'How very cold; shall get my fur coat" he jumped out of bed, flew to the door and called for help. The would be robber was caught. He confessed he knew the occupant of the room had money, which he hoped to get while he slept. He had been fireman former ly, and could not resist the impulse to extinguish the burning cigar.

SENSES OF THE BLIND.
The Singular Acuteness of One Who Is
 SightIess.

Throughout my whole life, says a blind person in the Argosy, my blind ness has had this remarkable feature in it: l always have before my eyes bril- liant light, so that the whole air around me seems, as it were, incandescent. I appear to be walking in light. In this light 1 can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which I see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in certain way bright ness.
 As I grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen- sations. can always tell when others are looking at me, and can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.
 l can also discern character accurate ly in the touch of the hand. I have certain instincts for which I have no exact name, which sometimes make me foresee future events. My senses of touch and smell are excessively del icate.

Wrong Idea About Experience Of Sales
 men Always on the Go.
 People who do not travel are Ill the habit of speaking of the lives of travel ing men as full of pleasurable excite ment. The travelling men say that it is almost unbearably monotonous, says the Atlanta Constitution.
 q travel the entire south, from Wash ington to Texas" said 8 travelling man to me the other day, and am con stantly on tine rail, and the monotony of it is making me grow old before my time. I have pretty large territory, but would you believe it if told you that I can wake up at any hour of the night, no matter where I am, pull back the curtain of the sleeper, and tell what place the train IS approaching? l know the country so well. The dreary monotony robs it of novelty or interest. that I believe know every forest, ev- cry cotton patch and every crossroad on the entire circuit. The only compensa- tion that travelling man has in a social way is in the fact that he meets people in every city that he visits and wher- ever he goes he finds friends. But he is off and away before he has time to enjoy their society. No, it's big mis- take; the travelling mans life is fright fully lonely and monotonous."

OVER TWO CENTURIES.
A New England Grist Mil Has Been
in Operation.
Pn.fo,, nj


Those who are interested in antiquarian
lore, who delight to delve in the early his
tory OF our New England towns and their
industries, may find an interesting field in
Watertown. On the banks Of the Charles.
i'll that town, is an ancient grist mill
which has stood there and given forth the
sound from its whirling wheels longer than
any man living can remember. There are
old men in the town who fail TO recall the
day when grst mill did not stand upon
this spot, and who even assert that, with
one single exception only, here was first
| employed in America the force of water as
n moving power for machinery. This eN-
| ception noted is also a grist mill, which
| stands in Milton, Oh the bank of the
Nepouset.
The Old grist mill in WATERFOWL was cs-
| Ia blished, so says tradition, near the close
| OF the seventeenth century. 1t was at first
| a town MILL erected at public expense, Tor
| the accomm odation OF the farmers who had
] corn to he ground. 1t l S long since the old
mill ceased to be owned or co rolled by
| the people OF the town, but it WIS only
| within very recent yea RS that the idea OF
| its public ownership faded from the minds
| OF the citizens. There are employees of the
| mill today who will remember visits Ut
