Winding Stairs.

There is fine chance for some architect
to do good work in starting a crusade
against winding stairs While there are
places In old houses where nothing else
seems to answer, this is very poor argu-
ment in favor Of building new houses in
this way. Every stairway should 90 up
with straight steps and square, roomy
landings. In planning the house this
should be allowed for. A few inches more
OF space given to the hall and stairs will
make 1t easy to arrange them in this way
and might save life or limb. There
have been falls, accidents, sprains, injuries
and rights on account Of winding stair
ways, and it seems the extreme of folly To
leave opportunities for such disasters when
"a little care and forethought will do away
with the danger.
Almost all stairways, especially those
in country and farm houses, are so steep as
to invite mishaps. Only those accustomed
to them can 90 up and down them with
any feeling of safety. York Ledger.

A SICK MAN IN The WOODS.
Plight of Henry welch When Stricken
With Rheumatism In a Maine Camp.

/
With rheumatism In a Maine Camp.
Daniel Haywood of Oxford county. Me-,
tells in Shooting ana Fishing how a sick
man Jared In the woods when all alone.
Henry WEIGH had made an appointment
with Ed Grant, one of the Maine guides
who was at the sportsmen's exposition to
meet him at Beaver Pond camp. 1t was in
tn tall of the year, and on the divide be-
tween Cupsuptic pond and Beaver pond,
over which WEIGH had to CO. was 80 inches
of snow. Haywood, the day afterward,
crossed the mans trail in the snow and
noticed that his lame leg had bothered
him in raising his foot above the snow,
but, knowing that White Cap camp, on
top OF the divide, was good one, he
thought nothing of 1t, as beyond that it
was down grade and easy going, while the
snow was Of less depth.
As 1t happened, Grant was delayed for
three weeks by heavy snowfall, and
WEIGH was attacked with rheumatism SO
that his right arm was useless In the
Beaver Pond camp was only little fire
wood and the man could not cut any.
Neither could he make his way back again.
He took what wood there was, built a good
fire and make several loaves of bread and
baked a lot of beans, laying in q supply
for the long time when he would have no
wood for fire. He managed to break up a
pile of spruce bark, peeled for camp roof
ing, with his ono hand and so had a lit
tie artificial warmth for a considerable
time, which, with tho camp blankets, kept
life going fairly comfortably till three
days before Grant came, when the fire
stuff gave ont.
Welch did not know whether Grant
would come or not, nor could he tell
whether help would arrive in time to save
his life During the three flreless days and
nights he lay ON his camp bunk, wrapped
up in blankets feeding on cold, butterless
bread and frozen beans His feelings when
at last Grant pushed open the door may
be imagined. a good hot fire lots to eat
and jOvial companonship put WEIGH on
his feet, and in few days he was able to
foot it TO the settlements on tho trail that
Grant had broken in the snow.
Curiously enough this is the only in
stance that Haywood remembers in which
sickness used a man up in the woods nor
do men often get into serious difficulty
when alone.

| ne tarln protection prlnClple IS Tor the ralS-
ing Of the price Of human toll 1t is to give
our producers ample compensation for their
labor. The gold standard of the country
everywhere that it is in force is for the pur-
pose Of reducing values.
"Gentlemen OF the convention, | am going
to make this simple objection, as the protec-
tive system is, | think, endangered by the pro-
posed platform, and will simply call your at
tention to it and leave the matter to your
judgment as to whether this platform should
be adopted or whether it shall be rejected.
Under existing conditions we undoubtedly
have the gold standard. | do not deny that.
What YOU have sought for twenty years is to
change it into bm'etalic system. | have be-

mighty created these twin metals of coin, He
intended that the world should use them for
the purpose for which they were created.
And when lie blessed this land of ours with
more gold and more silver than any other
country in the world he meant that we should
use them for the purpose for which they were
intended, to wit, as money for the people.
We to-day reverse the traditions OF our
country and declare that we will use only the
one of these two metals. If the American

Two Cases of Importance to Be CO

Two Cases of Importance to BE Con-
John R. Gillian, a colored messenger III
the bureau of statistics, was arrested last
night by Officer Barker of the secret SER
vice on suspicion that he had robbed the
desk Of j. D. O'Connell, a clerk, of $50.
When the case was first reported COM
plant was made to the police, and Detec-
t.ves Boyd and Helan wanted to arrest Gill
lam, but refrained from doing so because
the secret service officers wanted to make
an investigation. Last night when Gillian
was arrested he promptly admitted his
guilt. and told where he had put away $50
OF the money at the house of a friend on K
street. The balance of the money, he said,
he spent in the Division" This morning
when the case was called in court on a
charge of grand larceny, the colored mes
sGnger pleaded guilty.
Judge Miller heard the evidence of the
prosecuting witness, who said that his Of
flee was entered during the night and his
desk opened and robbed.

When DR.. A. F. A. King entered the class

College, he met with reception that will
go down in college history as the most
unique and at the same time most en-
thusiastic ever accorded a professor. 1t
was all on account of baby boy that DR..
King had been receiving the congratula-
tions of his immediate friends all day.. He
had no idea the news had reached the col
lege until DR.. Ford Thompson gave him a
quiet tip to look out for the boys upstairs
Suspended from the electric incandescent
lights, Immediately over the platform, one
at each end, were two dolls, one dressed
to represent boy and the other girl
DR.. Kings family. When the favorite pro-
fessor entered the class room the students
were humming the strains of Baby, Baby,
Dance My Darling Baby from Wang"
Then followed a din of rattles and cheers
that could be heard on 14th street. The
doctor was overwhelmed at the reception
and made feHcitous speech. After the
lecture he cut the babies down and took
a rattle home with him to his new baby
boy.

Looked at a Policeman.

Henry Sheer. a Georgetown property
owner, was In the Police Court this morn
ing because he looked at Policeman Pierce
last night. The policeman told the court
that complaint had been made about a
party of men congregating on the sidewalk
OF posite the p street car stable. Last night
when he went there he found Mr.. Sheer
standing on the bank. He lives in the bot
tom not far from where he was standing
II asked him who he was looking at"
said the policeman; land he'toid me 1t was
none of my business. Last night he was
d1 essed in rough clothes"
That axes no difference said the
court. "a roan's clothes have nothing to do
with him when he's charged with violating
a law"
The Judge said there was no reason for
the arrest, and dismissed the charge.
I'm Germany" remarked Mr.. Gordon,
who appeared as counsel foreMr. Sheer.
Its considered an insult to look at po-
liceman, but it Is hardly so In this coun-
try"
