So the Protected Passenger Got Through
All Right.

So the Protected Passenger Got Through
All Right.
The other morning conductor on the
Southern Pacific train found that one
of the passengers had bad ticket and
thus could not ride upon it, says the
New Orleans Picayune. Unfortunately
for the woman, she had no money, nor
had the mother, with whom she was
travelling. The conductor insisted upon
payment from one or the other, and
when he made his requests urgent, the
young lady retreated to the sleeper,
where she and her mother, covering up
under the quilts, said they would not
surrender.
"And am here to protect her." said
the mother in very defiant way,
thrusting her head out of the curtains.
But, madam, the company must have
some compensation for your daughters
travelling on its trains. She has no
ticket, and if you have the money you
won't pay it,"
well, that ticket was a good ticket,
and if you won't take it you will have
to do without"
"You can get off at the next station
and buy your daughter another ticket"
said the conductor.
mo, won't do that, either, 1 tell
you"
well, then, must have the money"
said the conductor, making toward the
couple. Instantly the curtains were
closed tight, and the young lady, all
bundled up under the covering in the
compartment, cried out that the con-
ductor must have an awful hard heart
to treat her so ungentlemanly.
81 will have you arrested for ungen-
tlemanly conduct" she cried out.
The conductor got off in quiet cor
ner and tried to solve the problem. He
called a council of the train people, and
for some time they discussed the best
means of attack, but none offered, for
the passenger was safe and secure in
bed, and guarded by the mother, who
had made up her mind not to surrender
the citadel. Finally at Morgan City the
pair got off, and the young lady carried
her point, not having paid her fare.

The Author OF q Hymn.

Mrs. Alexander, wife Of the bishop Of
Derry, is lying in a critical condition at
the palace, Londonderry. She is the
author of one hymn that has served
to make her famous. There is a
Green Hill Far Away" and it is said
that the popularity of this hymn, hay
ing the effect of bringing her husband
into notice, obtained for him his eleya-
ton to an Irish deanery. He was made
bishop in 1867.

II. L. James of Rockville, Conn, had
an experience recently that lie will not
soon forget. He was driving to Mans
field, when partridge that had been
shot by hunter flew into his covered
carriage, striking him full in the face.
It stunned him for the moment and his
face was slightly cut. The bird was
dead when found by Mr.. James after

TOPPER Columbus, giving a report Of his
discovery Of what he supposed to have
been only some islands off the coast Of
India. Stephen Plannck, a printer, Of
Rome, struck off few copies Of the
translation in 1893. Not all of these
are now to be found
In the Barlow sale Of Americana, at
the American Art Galleries, in 1889, a
copy Of the Plannck edition, identical
with the one that came on the Spree,
was sold to Brayton Ives for $4,000.
There is a dispute among the au-
thorities as to whether or no the edi-
tion Of the Columbian letter, Of which
the two little books are copies, is the
first printed reproduction. Mr.. Eames,
of the Lenox Library, says that no two
authorities agree as to the priority Of
date Of the publication of Columbus
report.
Harrisse stoutly maintains that this
Plannck edition is the third appear
ance of the letter, while R. H. Major,
of the British Museum, advances argu-
ments, said to be both logical and
weighty, to show that it is the first,
Ellis, in the HUH catalogue, claims
that Major has proven this impression
to be the first. John Russell Bartlett
also placed this particular edition first
in the John Carter Brown library.
But however much the antiquarians
may disagree among themselves, there
is no doubt as to the great value Of the
book, which is printed in clear type
on heavy paper The dimensions Of the
pages are 1-16 inches full by 3-16.
Some Of the leaves have a water mark,
the device being pair Of scales. II
printed in The World the letter would
occupy about a column and two-thirds.
The binding Of the $4,000 copy, which
was imported by Dodd, Mead & Co., the
Fifth avenue booksellers, is a full blue
crushed levant morocco, with a double
Of red levant. The binder is Thibaron-
Jolly, of Paris.
The first sentence of the "foreword,"
or preface, is as follows:
"Epistola Christofori Colon; cut etas
nostra multi debet; de Insules Indie
supra Gangem nuper invetis."
Translated the "forewOrd" entire
reads;

mediate Effect of the Stand Taken
by France.

PARIS, Nov. when the sultan re-
ceived an account Of the recent speech
delivered by M. Hanotaux, minister of
foreign affairs, in the chamber of de-
puties, Nov. 3, upon the Armenian
question, he sent his secretary to M.
jules CambOn, the French ambassador
to Turkey to inquire concerning the
matter. In his speech before the cham
Der, M. Hanotaux declared that the
excuses of the Ottoman government
had furnished legitimate motives for
complaint. He also stated that a CON
cert had been established among the
powers and that in October, 1895 an
understanding had been reached with
the Porte to the effect that the latter
should grant reforms which unhappiIy
had not been applied.
M. HanOtauX also announced that
owing to the anarchy which reigned in
the administrative spheres, if Turkish
troubles continued France would be
compelled to use language, the strength
and Significance Of which Turkey must
understand. The powers, NJ Hano-
tauX said, were convinced of the neceS-
sity of their solid union, put there must
be no isolated action and no inter
ference with the integrity of the Of
toman empire.
In conclusion, the minister of foreign
affairs announced that during the
cars visit, precise exchange of views
had occurred and that a united Europe
would be able to show the sultan that
he must give his subjects security and
peace.

For three years the police of the
Northwest had a description Of her, but
as she often assumed male attire and
passed under the name of Charlie Mil
Ter, she escaped detection. BY wearing
skirts she could gather valuable infor-
nation and thus aid her partner In
eluding the officers. It was not until
her arrest in Montana that the police
knew her sex. They knew they had
captured the notorious Charlie Miller,
but did not suspect that she was a
woman. While in jail she wrote to. her
partner The letter was intercepted,
and he was captured To save her he
disclosed her sex, took all the blame
ON himself and was sentenced to forty
years imprisonment. t<-
Two years ago she reformed, went to
Portland, Or, and joined the Salvation
Army. She marched with the Army,
sang psalms and told the people how
wicked she had been, saying that if
there was hope for her there was hope
for the majority of mankind who had
not sinned so deeply. A few weeks
ago she drifted back to Montana, and
being near the place of ther husbands
confinement, she grew Respondent and
ended her lift by taking dose of poi
son.
She was a strong, athletic woman, a
good rider, a crack shot with a pistol
or rife. Several murders were traced
to her, but no attempt was ever made
to legally connect her with them. 4
few years ago she was in a saloon
row in idaho and shot a man. He re
covered, and the people gave the in
cident but a passing notice.
At that time her sex was unknown
and she was bartender in a saloon
Three years ago she was involved in
another shooting affair with a gambler
Neither was wounded.
In Helena BERTHE Trip and her hus-
band committed the robberieS for
which she was arrested. He escaped,
but was located through a letter writ
ten to him by his wife, who was in Jail.
The letter was given to a trusty, who
gave ii to the jailer. The husband s
whereabouts being thus ascertained,
he was arrested He resisted arrest
and shot policeman, but was finally
captured and convicted
BERTHE Trip was never the same
woman after the arrest of her partner
in crime. She avoided the society OF
other men and grieved over the loss
of her mate until she ended her own
extraordinary career by taking poison.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE New York
Finaneier says this week: The state
ment Of the clearing house banks for
the week ending Nov z, covered but
1--WE business days, and Is chiefly valu-
able as a record of the furry immed-
lately preceding election. The state
npeht is supposed to include the bust
ness OF the week only up to Thursday,
and as holiday interviewed 1t is very
evident that the recovery which has
taken place since the election is not
shown in the totals. For instance if
is known that several millions in snecia
nave been re-deposited with banks and
the gold is now in the clearing house
vaults, although the statement shows
only slight expansion in specie.
II does not seem reasonable, either.
IN the face OF rapidly rising and
active stock market, such as marked
last week, to look for a shrinkage in
loans amounting to S4,070, 700, which the
statement shows. The rapid fall In call
money and the competition between
banks for commercial offerings since
IueSCay, IS another evidence that
pdhKs are not decreasing loans and it
Is sui little early to look for volun-
tary payments of obligations due banks.
The condition of the banks at the act
ual close Of business Saturday. was.
OF course, better than the statement
indicated, and beginning with next
week the expansion which set in after
Nov. will be fully reflected.
The boarded gold now pouring into
the banks and already in clearing
house vault balances toward the $40
OO0,0O0 mark, and there seems to be no
doubt that the banks will soon resume
the settlement Of balances in gold coin.
The banks, in fact, will probably show
large gains in gold before the treasury
reserve, since the specie will find it's
way into bank vaults, and thence into
the treasury.
Next weeks statement ought to make
very interesting showing in all items.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7.-Ofhcia1 re-
turns are now in from all but twelve
counties, and McKinley's net plurality
is raised to 64S. The official returns
from Greenup county are three less
than the un6ficial. but to the official
canvass of the Tenth and Eleventh
wards Of Louisville is the handsome
gain of the Ohio man due this after
noon. By the official count Mckinley
makes net gain of 112 votes. There
remains yet one ward. the Twelfth, to
be canVassed. 1t is expected that this
ward will also show up with a ma
terial Mckinley gain, as every ward
so far canVassed has had this result
Other official returns from the state
are not expected to affect the general
result, for the reports from the twelve
unofficially reported counties that have
been received are considered reliable
by both Republicans and Democrats
Thus, if any change at all is made II
will not be sufficient to overcome the
GAS lead of Mckinley, and his victory in
the state Is now practically conceded
even though it is by the narrowest
margin that ever characterized the
states vote in presidential year.
A complication has arisen that will
likely divide the electoral vote on the
basis of twelve for Mckinley and one
for Bryan. This is due to the fact
that a large number put the pencil
mark opposite the name of the first
electOr, instead of under the party de-
vice, thus causing the head Of each
ticket to run ahead of the ticket In
this way Smith, Bryan elector, gets
more than the hindmost Mckinley
elector. Bryan betting men say this
causes Mckinley men to lose, and
raises an interesting question.
Cincinnati, Nov. 7.-Specials to the
tnes-Star concerning the Kentucky
Ntfon say that at noon official re-
ports had been received from 1O5 coun-
ties. These, with the vote for the other
counties carefully calculated, give Nc
Kinley plurality of 452. The official
returns of the fourteen counties will
not materially affect the result.
