DEMAND BILLS OF LADING.

When unknown agents" represent
ing unknown houses" try to place an
unknown make of piano in your house,
under the plea of saving storage, ask
them to show you the bill of lading.
Demand it; insist on its being produc-
ed, should you have any idea of buying
and you'll find in all probability, that
the instrument is a wanderer, and many
months, if not years, since it left the
factory. The price usually asked for
these boxes is $35O.O0 Offer one-half
or less and your offer will be readily
accepted. We have evidence of this
fact to show anybody, now in our
ware-rooms.
Before closing any trade with such
parties, call on us and you'll save mon
ey as well as get an honest made in
strument, with an unquestionable guar
anty. THOS. GOGGAN & BROS.

Human Vices In n Dog.

The most dissipated dog in Philadel-
phia is owned by Harry McCafferty, of
1912 Garnet street. In addition to being
addicted to the beer habit, the animal is
an inveterate cigarette smoker and is
passionately fond of chewing tobacco.
1t first contracted the habit by eating
the discarded stumps Of cigars and Gig
arettes. 1t is curious sight to witness
the dog perched upon a chair with a
cigarette in it's mouth and a pair of
spectacles on its nose. The dog will
chew any kind of tobacco and seems to
prefer it to food, but, as this habit may
prove dangerous, its master is substi,
titing candy which has been in the same
box with the tobacco, and the smell
rarely deceives the eccentric pet.

in Clark street, below Polk. When the
officers saw her they were surprised to
find that she was of immense proper
tons. A consultation was held.
1--WE can't get her through the door,
SO guess we had better take her out
the window" suggested O'Mara. They
were about to remove the sash, when
their prisoner called them to her side
and said she wanted to make sugges-
ton.
"Why not take this girl here" she
asked, pointing out Eta White, who is
about one-ffth the size of the Vans
low woman, and whose complexion be-
trouble getting her out of the door, and
she will go in my stead. Anyhow, I'm
sick, and if you take me 1 will sue you
for damages"
Another consultation was held by
the two officers and they decided to ac-
cept the proposition. Eta White was
then arrested and taken before Justice
Martin, answering to the name of Susan
Wanslow. The justice imposed fine
of SIS, which was not forthcoming, and
Eta White was sent to the bridewell
to serve 33 days. Wednesday friend
called at the house to see her, and,
hearing that she was in the bridewell,
started out to investigate. He learned
the facts and engaged an attorney to
begin habeas corpus proceedings.
Thursday Judge Burke was told of
the affair and he ordered the officers
into court. They explained that the
woman could not be taken through the
door, and, fearing she might bring a
damage suit, they supposed it would
be all right to take Eta White in her
stead.
The judge at once ordered the release
of the woman, and, turning to the Off
GERS, said: SIN all my career I have
never heard of a case of this kind. I
suppose if you men were given a war
rant for man six feet tall and two feet
wide you would let him pass and arrest
the first small man you ran across.
Your excuse of fearing a damage suit
is too thin. AS the matter now stands
Eta White has good grounds to get
after you. Your action certainly was
most ridiculous, and besides making
fools of yourselves you hold the entire
police force up to ridicule. Release this
woman and go and arrest the woman
called for in the warrant as quickly as
possible"

two-year-old baby standing in the cen
ter of the track He set the air brakes,
reversed the engine and sanded the
track, but not in time to save the child.
In the meantime Fireman Hubert had
run out upon the footboard, let himself
down upon the pilot, and was leaning as
far out as possible, with one hand
clutching the huge coupling bar and the
other reaching out toward the child,
who was standing perfectly still and
looking in wonder upon the onrushing
locomotive. Just as the pilot was
about to strike he seized her by the
dress, and with a magnificent mus
cular effort raised her clear from the
track. For an instant he staggered as
he held the child aloft with one hand,
and the spectators thought both would
roll beneath the wheels, but he quickly
regained his balance and threw himself
with the child back upon the fiat por-
ton of the pilot, and both were saved.
The engine was not running very fast
at the moment the feat was performed,
but it was running fast enough to have
passed nearly the whsle train over the
little ones body.
What did the fireman say when he got
back into the cab with the white-faced
and trembling engineer? Oh, he
laughed and said: "Bill, gi' me chew

Eta White, weighing 125 pounds,
says the Chicago Record, was found in
the bridewell Thursday as a substitute
for Susan Wanslow, who tips the scales
at something over 500 pounds. AS re-

How a Western Fireman Saved .
Little Girls Life.


We have always looked with suspicion,
says the Kansas City Journal, upon
stories of how some brave engineer or
fireman crept out upon the cow-catcher
and rescued human being just as the
monster engine was rushing upon him.
We have not doubted these stories be-
cause they presented an incredible
courage and daring, but because such
n performance is pretty nearly a phys
ical impossibility. But we have case
in hand now which is so close at home
and SO reputably vouched for that doubt
is impossible.

train was approaching Kelly, in Nema-

GEORGE ELlOT'S HEROINsS.
She Showed Proper Consideration For
Them In Money Matters.

George Eliot since she was woman,
had probably needed money herself at
times, and this may explain why she
shows proper consideration for her hero
ines letting few of them suffer lifelong
poverty. ROmola's income enables her TO
care for Tessa and bring Vello up accord
ing to her own educational theories.
Janet having money, repents comfortably,
being enabled 20 arrange pleasant home
for Mr.. Iryan, TO be near him in his last
moments and TO erect a stone TO his men,
DRY. Hardy's poor Tess, on the contrary,
is not even allowed enough money to pay
for the family monument. Gwendolyn
Harleth had been used to ease, and it
naturally followed that it was only when
George Eliot injudiciously invested the
family's fortune with Grapnell g. Co.,
"who failed for million" that the faults
in her character got the better of her.
And ROsamond Vincy-did she not make
herself thoroughly pleasant as soon as
George Eliot permitted her Tertius to pro-
vide his family with becoming income
by writing treatise on govt and alter
mating in practice between London and
continental watering placer
Who but George Eliot Is responsible for
the tragic career of Maggie Tulliver? Did
she not fail TO make suitable financial pro-
vision for Maggie's introduction into the
society of II. Ogg's in the conventional
fashion at the proper age, thus precipitat-
ing the affair with Stepheny With Mrs.
Tulliyer, l bitterly regret those spotted
clOsls' and the china with the gold
sprigs all over 'em between the flowers"
since the cause of their sale necessitated
Maggie wearing Aunt Pullet' made over
gowns and lodging with Bob Jakin's wife
after her trouble. George Eliot, however,
at least permits Esther Lyon to sample
financial prosperity before giving her Felix
Holt, minus crava5 and waistcoat, for a
husband, and then wisely drops the cur
tain on Esther's struggles with Felix and
poverty. -Lippincott's

Old Time sunday Melon sales.

"a man would hardly imagine that
negroes used Co crowd around the front OF
that elegant church and sell watermelons
on Sunday" said ri. Il. Powell, the well
known banker. He referred to Mulberry
Street Methodist church, one of the finest
church buildings in Macon. "But it's a
fact, ;" continued Mr.. Powell. I'm not
an old man, and everybody in the crowd
looked with admiration at his tall, erect
figure, "but | can remember those scenes
as well as if they were yesterday.
1T was before the war, when all the
slave owners allowed their industrious
slaves an acre or so of land on which to
raise watermelons or anything they chose.
The negroes were given every Saturday
afternoon TO tend their patches and on
Sundays were allowed to hitch a mule to
a wagon and take their melons and other
produce around TO churches, camp meet
ings or elsewhere and sell them. 1t was a
very common thing TO see man stop at "a
negroes watermelon pile and select mel
on, pay for and put it into his buggy and
drive on home after church, and indeed
children frequently dubbed in and bought
melons from the slaves and ate them dur
ing the time between Sunday school and
preaching.

encourage them. Nobody ever thought of

A story of sherman.

Senator John Sherman tells in his " Rec
objections" "a good story about one Eich-
mann, a courier who conducted him
through Italy. He was loyal fellow, but
ignorant Of colloquial English.
Dir. Oates of Alabama, a leading mem
Der of the house Of representatives, was
travelling with his wife and friends on the
same general route that L was. We fre-
quently met and had pleasant and friendly
chats. Eiohmann noticed our intimacy
and was very polite to Mr.. Oates.
One day, as my party and / were about
to enter car, some one said:
Is not that John ShermanS"
Mr.. Oates said, in the hearing of Eich-
mann, Yes; that is Sherman, and added
as compliment, HE was good watch

Eichmann, catching the phrase watch
dog" applied TO me, regarded it as gross
insult. He rushed into my car, his face
ahame with passion and his English more
confused than usual.
"That man." said he, pointing to Oates,
"was not your friend. He called you, sir,
a watchdog-yes, sir, a watchdog. He
