a CASE IN -roINT.-
Why Railways Became More Pnr.
tcuInr in Extension of Eavors.

Reference has been often made in
these columns to transportation
abuses, and how their frequency has
operated as an Incentive to greater re-
strictions until It appears the railways
are almost disposed to look upon all
men with suspicion.
Newspaper men, or more strictly
speaking. alleged newspaper men, are
not the only people who contribute to
this state of affairs. us is forcibly IL
luStrated by an occurrence in this
city yesterday.
A needy party representing him
self as an ex-rallroader desired to
go to Denver. and after landing in
this city, railway people took the case
In hand and raised some money in his
behalf. a visit was made to the gem
eral offices of the Fort Worth and
Denver. and the pltiful side OF the
case presented. With their character
istic liberality, the Denver people Is
sued an order on their city ticket Of
flee to sell the party and wife a ticket
each for the price of one. which
amounted to Just 1874.
Upon receiving the order for the
ticket, the needy Individual, who had
already been furnished with money to
pay for them, repaired TO the office of
scalper and attempted to sell the
order. The scalper declined to pur-
next showed up at the city ticket
office and the two tickets were issued
him upon the payment of 1874, Again
he made q visit to the scalper, and sue

IS. Had the scalper bought the order
in the first place. the needy one would
thus have been ahead of the game
Just s56.
City Ticket Agent Beard OF the
Denver learned of the devious ways of
the needy one, and after quite a search
found him. The explanation was made
that the wife was sick and could not
leave home, and the tickets were given
to two needy railway friends. But
Beard pressed the point until he freed
the needy one In his evasion OF one of
the cardinal principles 30 tenaciously
adhered to by the late q. Washington,
and he fessed up,
or course nothing was done In the
matter further than to rasp the rem
nant OF conscience that may have been
possessed by the needy one, as 1t was
too late to recall the tickets. But the
question naturally suggesting Itself is,
on whose head VIII the iniauity of the
case in point fan? Is there any reason
TO believe the Denver people will ex-
hibit much haste to grant similar
favor even to the most deserving OBJ
ject? On the contrary. liz 1t not more

OF course. such an occurrence seems
a trivial matter, and II 1t represented

worthy OF serious attention. But II is
only one among many. ana malses

we are handling at our present union
depot.

can get definite expression as 10
what extent the other lines will CO.
operate IN support OF tho now proposed
union passenger station that our
company will authorize me to COM
mencc the work.
Win your company agree to pay Its
proportion of reasonable fixed charge
ON the cost of the plant. md your

II will be noticed that the letter In

Has eac!. gentleman, as the repro
sentative Of the llnee interested. made
favorable reply? II there is any kind
of hitch IN the proceedings, where IL
II located? These are questions OF
much moment to Fort Worth. and
public interest demands that tho seat
OF anv existing trouble or impeachment
should be made known The assertion
has been made on the mart or several
OF the leading lines that they were
ready 10 stand their share OF the OK

Time Occupied by Dreams.

The time occupied by a dream is one
CT the marvels of sleep. in the work
entitled The Philosophy of Mystery"
we read of man who dreamed that he
had enlisted as a soldier; that he had
joined his regiment and travelled to a
foreign country; that he finally de-
serted on account of the harsh treat
ment he had received at the hands of
his superior officers; that he had been
apprehended and carried back to his
regiment; that upon arriving there he
was tried by court-martial, condemned
to be shot and was led out for execu-
ton. At this moment the guns of the
executioners exploded and the sound
owOke the dreamer. 1t was clear now
that loud noise in an adjoining room
had both produced the dream and awak-
ened the dreamer almost at the same
moment

At the general election of rS6S DR..

confirmation of DR.. Temples election
took place December 8, 1869. at the

when Bishop Trower. representative
of a portion of the clergy who were
opposed to DR.. Temple because he was

on both sides. and DIR. Temples election
was confirmed by the vicar-general. DR..

Suicide In Japan.

An essay on the prevalence of suicide
in Japan has been written by Mr.. Saito
kokufu. native statistician. The sta
tistics extend over ten years and show
that suicide has been on the increase
in Japan. both actually and in proper
ton to the total number of deaths. In
1855 and 1856 the number in proportion
TO the population reached its highest.
Mr.. Saito observes that during these
years there was great rise in the price
of the necessaries of life. In the case
OF japanese women the age at which
suicide is most frequent is about 20;
the corresponding period with men is
p. Comparatively few women commit
suicide after the twenty-fifth year, but
men are not safe until they are past 40.

SUICIDE OF a RATTLEsNAkE.


Little Doubt of the Fact That They XIII
Themselves by Their Own Bites.
The question as TO whether the rat
tlesnake's venom is poisonous to itself
has often been discussed, but if any
satisfactory conclusion has ever been
arrived at we are unaware of the fact,
says the st. Louis Republic. DR.. W. j.
Burnett, formerly a member of the
Boston Society of Natural History,
says that there are good reasons for be-
lieving that the action of the rattler's
virulent poison is the same upon all
living things, vegetable as well as
animal. Other eminent naturalists
combat this theory and declare that the
idea of an animal poison killing or in
juring a vegetable is really preposter-
Gus. Burnett says: 1T is even just as
fatal to the snake itself as TO other ami
mails" Then he relates the experience
of one, DR.. bearing. The doctor had a
specimen of the prolific RATHER which
he kept alive in a cage. One day he
irritdted the reptile so as to study the
effect of the anger thus provoked. The
snake struck wildly about a few times
and then buried it's fangs in its own
body. Almost instantly. the expert
menter says, The REPTILE rolled over and
died. If this story is true, and we have
no reason to doubt the story, we see in
it the remarkable and unique physio-
logiacl fact of a liaqid secreted from the
blood which proves deadly when in
trOduced into the very source from
which it was derived.

The practical value of Mr.. Barclays
invention having been demonstrated.
the wonder is that it was not thought
of before. In appearance this 'exer-
ciser," as the inventor calls it, re-
sembles a small, oval-shaped rubber
bulb. which just fits into the hand. 4
short rubber tube extends from one end
of the bulb to a rubber band which is
fastened about the wrist. This band
is double, and the outer band is pune
tured with numerous small holes which
allow the air within the bulb 70 escape
when the hand is closed.
When the hand is opened the air is
drawn into the bulb, and the exercise
consists in opening and closing the
fingers of the hand. the muscular action
required to force the air from the bulb
giving the necessary exercise.
On the same principle that person
who sits all day finds rest and relief in
a walk. so the exercise of one set of
muscles in the hand rests and brings re-
lief to another set which may be over
worked. and no i'll effects are felt
