Extraordinary Precautions Taken to Insure
Her Safety.

George Lasham. an old engineer upon the
London " Southwestern Railroad. known
''thc Queens driver" has always taken
charge of the engine when Queen Victoria
has been travelling for the last forty years.
still Kept uron. the rolls at full pay. and
holds himself In readiness to handle the
throttle whcneyer her majesty travels. She
never allows him 10 run faster thnn forty
miles an hour. and often during the night
the speed is kept down to twenty miles.
The Prince OF Wales, on the contrary, when
he Is running special can never go fast
enough. While the Queens train is in
motion the track Is cleared for nifty miles
ahead. all traffic is suspended and all sta
tons are closed for several moments before
her train is due. A full force OF track walk
ers Is sent out the morning of the day
and the entire route is patroled for hours
in advance of her coming. The switches
are inspected by division superintendent,
who usually run over the line half an hour
or an hour In advance of her. and there liz
always pilot locomotive mile or two
ahead of her train. Even the coal that Is
used on the locomotive is carefully In
spected. for fear some nihilist might intro
ducc an explosive.
There are four ears. carriages. upon
the royal train. The first is for the lug

Finally committee of three leading
citizens was appointed with full power
to act, so as to preserve the peace
and dignity of the village. and save
from further attacks the character of
those Interested" They brought forth
the following:
1--WE. the undersigned, do all agree
to the conditions imposed and that
we will faithfully carry them out. John
r. Richards and f. Y. Hedley will
speak to one another when they meet
on the street and will conduct them
selves toward one another as good cit
iZens should. Helen Alice Brown will
abstain from holding any conversation
with F. Y. Hedley."
Mayor Richards and Capt. Hedley
signed this, but Miss Brown laughed at
it, and said she would speak to whom
she pleased.
For several years Capt. Hedley was
organist of the Bunker Hill Congre-
gational church. He was occupying
this position when Miss Brown became
the soprano. Both interested in the
world of melody, they grew to be ia
terested in one another, and a warm
attachment was the result. That this
existed is admitted by the prisoner,
by relatives and friends, and by those
who were intimate with the mayor and
by the father and mother of the young
woman. The latter say it was akin to
the relationship of father and child.
that the editor was as interested in
their daughters welfare as he was in
that of his own children.
1t was about year ago that gossips
of the village first began to hint that
wealthy Mr.. Richards was in love with
the young woman, who had just ac-
cepted the position of stenographer in
his office. The next story the gossips
had to relate was to the effect that Mr..
Richards was jealous of Mr.. Hedley.
This talk grew until 1t was on every
body's tongues. Finally a story was
circulated that was traced directly to
the wealthy bachelor. He was charg-
ed with its origin, and acknowledged
he was the author.
The next day-this was in November
of last year-he made a public state
ment that reflected greatly upon the
editor of the Gazette, and also upon
his cousin. Miss Brown. The matter
thus brought to crisis. the trustees of
the Congregational church ordered an
investigation. 1t did not go as far as
a church trial, for Mr.. Hedley resigned
his position as organist and Miss
Brown left the choir. The editor Joined
the Methodist church a month later.
and is still member. This is where
ha no
comes. The members of the church to
which Mr.. Hedley formerly belonged
believed the charges made by Mr..

Colora of CrimInaln' EYea.

One of the most curious results of the
investigations made. by doctors in the
Russian Jail is the statement that each
group of criminals has its own peculiar
color of eye. A legal journal at Odessa
states that 1t has been found that
thieves and murderers usually possess
chestnut brown" eyes. Robbers-that
is to say, thieves in large and violent
line of business-have slate colored
eyes, and the same Is stated of Grim
inals convicted of swindling. The
vagabond classes have eyes of azure
blue tint. The color most observed
among minor criminals and those con-
victed of slight offenses is Chestnut
brown green"

Attention of the reader Is called to
the announcement of Notre Dame uni
versity in another column of this paper.
This noted institution of learning en-
tiers upon its fifty-fourth year with the
next session, commencing Sept Z, 1897.
Parents and guardians contemplating
sending their boys and young men
away from home to school would do
well to write for particulars to the Uni
versity of Notre Dame. Indiana, before
making arrangements for their educa-
tion elsewhere. Nowhere in this broad
land are there to be found better facil-
tiles for cultivating the mind and heart
than are offered at Notre Dame Uni

down in the main street of Bunker Hill.
The cause, though innocent, was Helen
Alice Brown. Both men were besides,
strong partisans and aimed at local
republican leadership. In this Rich
ards was successful and Hedley used
the paper he conducted to retaliate.
The Misses Lizzie and Clara Kenyon,
also second cousins of Richards, were
his housekeepers. They were madly
jealous of the attentions paid to Miss
Brown by their cousin, and helped to
increase the bitterness of the quarrel.
Every inhabitant of Bunker Hill fin
ally became arrayed on one side or
the other and every other question, So
clal or political, was subordinated to
the feud. AT last public meeting was
called to arrange compromise or a
truce. 1t was held May A in public
hall. A number of hot speeches were
made and riot was narrowly averted.
