His Awful Cheek Did 1t.

It was in the cabinet makers shop,
and a party of strangers were looking at
the different labor saving devices. One
gentleman, very shortsighted, had tar
ried at the bench across the room. He
was examining circular saw that was
whirling its teeth with lightninglike
rapidity.
Absorbedly interested in the piece OF
mechanism, his face drew nearer and
nearer to the cruel teeth tearing round
and round with remorseless energy. AT
this instant his friends turn about. They
see his danger. Inevitably the gap
grows smaller and smaller. Spellbound,
they are unable to utter sound. They
cannot endure to see their friend torn
and lacerated. Instinctively they shut
their eyes.
Then comes the awful jar of the col
lision. There is whirling sound and
crash. A shudder runs through them
all. The next instant they hear the
voice of the cabinet maker:
"Of course you will pay for that saw
sir?''
Their friend had escaped uninJured'
but the saw was shattered-it had struck
his cheek.
He was commercial traveller. Pear

WHARF women Are Supreme.

Miss Taylor, young English woman
who recently returned from Tibet ana
is now gathering missionary recruits
for that mysterious country, says thae
men and women who understand medi-
cine will be most successful in thar
field. The knowledge of drugs, she adds,
among the natives is almost equal to
that of the English themselves. The po-
sition of women, according to Miss Tay-
lor. is higher in Tibet than in any
other country of the orient, save per-
hans Mongolia. In place Of polygamy,
so common among the Mohammedans.

DIED AT HIS POST.
Dead Engineers Hand on the Throt-
tie.

Dead Engineers Hand on the Throt-
tie.
With his hand on the throttle of his
engine and flying over the road at the
rate of between 40 and 80 miles an
hour, Charles Torrey, an engineer on
the Kansas City, st. Joseph & Council
Bluffs railroad, was stricken with par
alysis the other day and died without
speaking word. Even after he died
the body of the engineer still remained
in his seat at the side of the cab.
James Mcdonald, the fireman, sat on
the other side of the engine, looking
down the glistening lines Of rail and for
time did not know that there was any
thing wrong with the engineer.
He glanced in that direction, but only
saw the body of the engineer still in
the seat and did not think of him being
dead.
The train was increasing in speed,
when Mcdonald noticed that Torrey did
not whistle for the crossing. He rang
the bell vigorously, and just then the
train Numbered by station at which 1T
should have stopped.
Then Mcdonald crossed over to the
engineers side of the cab and saw that
Torrey's head had fallen on his breast.
The rocking motion of the engine
caused it to roll from side to side. The
fireman thought him asleep, called to
him, then pulled him by the arm, and
Torrey fell to the floor of the cab a
corpse.
The fireman stopped the train and
told the other trainmen what had hap
pened.
When Torrey died, he was leaning
back in his seat in the cab, looking
ahead at the track His eyes did not
close when death struck him, but were
wide open and staring when the fireman
discovered that he was dead.
Engineer Torrey had been in the en-
ploy of the road 10 years. New YORK

None but Union Shoes May Tramp.


The Chicago Federation of Labor has
Just granted somewhat remarkable
request of the boot ard shoe workers
The delegates from that union asked the
adoption Of a resolution precluding
all but wearers of union label shoes
from participation in the coming Labor
day parade. When the entire serious
ness of the request was realized, 1t was
granted, and all wearers Of nonunior
shoes will be required by an appointed
committee to fall out of line next La
Dor day. The affair has given rise to
some talk as to the union label. The
Eight Hour Herald (Labor), Chicago,
says: 1--WE husten TO congratulate the
shoe workers on their newborn zeal In
support of the union label. AS we have
remarked in these columns OH number
less occasions, the union label is worthy
of all the attention that worklngmen
can give it. 1t is weapon which II
properly used will work tremendous
benefits to the cause of organized labor
II is more effective than the strike or
the boycot. The shoe workers should
see to it that the public is made famii'
lar with the list of firms handling I'M
ion made shoes, or at least that the list
should be made accessible to all inter

parent phenomenon.
MI. Blan served in the Confederate
army and came through without
wound But IL years ago Confederate
veterans reunion was held at TROY
and among other things the old ex.sol.
diers INDUCED in a sham battle Mr.
Blan was detailed to load and fire one
OF the cannons, During the mock battle
the cannon exploded prematurely, and
the heavy charge of powder and wad-
ding blew both of his hands off-tbe
left just above the wrist, the other sew
eral inches farther up the arm.
AT this time Mr.. Blan was owner of
The Weekly Messenger, which he had
bought in 1878 and had succeeded in
putting on its feet by hard work. He
had large family of young children,
and, like all other newspaper people in
this part of the land, he had lived
pretty well up to his income. He knew
no line of business excepting newspaper
work, and a man without either hand
is ordinarily not very available about a
newspaper Office He determined not
to allow his usefulness to depart with
the loss of his hands, however, and as
soon as he had recovered sufficiently
from his injuries to give the matter his
attention he had made an artificial
right hand and half forearm.
1t is simple but ingenious contriv-
ance. The artificial part of the arm is
arranged so as to be securely fastened
to the stu mp Of the right arm left by
the explosion The hand, which is COW
cred by glove, appears perfectly nat
ural in shape and holds a pen or pencil
as gracefully as any EDITORS natural
hand. A stranger seeing Mr.. Blan a,
work at his desk would never imagine
that the hand was not real one, will
blood circulating through it, so thor
oughly has the editor got its operations
under his control.
BY means of cord, which passe
from his artificial arm up his right Goa
sleeve, then across his back, then dowl
his left coat sleeve To the end of the re
mainder of his left arm, Mr.. Blan i
enabled to close the fingers of his arti
fetal hand and grasp his pen. By keep
ing his left elbow bent the tension Of
the string is continued and the artificial
fingers hold the pen tightly, while tn

FIRST GOLD IN ALASKA.
Natives Used 1t to Ransom Captive
Erieuds.


Captain Harry Meiggs, U. s. A. (re-
tired), who is said to be a relative of
the man who built Meiggs wharf, San
Francisco away back in the fifties, tells
a wonderful tale of the discovery of
gold in Alaska in the latter part of the
sixties. He was on duty in that coun-
try at that time at point near Juneau,
and says that even in those early days
great Jumps of gold were exhibited by
the natives
Often natives from the interior
would come down wearing necklaces
made OF nuggets picked up from the
creeks in the interior" he said the
other day. "At one time there was
tribe which had been conquered by an
other and penalty was exacted. Some
OF the conquered tribe came over the
Chilkat pass with certain amount of
gold, which on being weighed was
found to be short of the price demanded
by the conquerors. Several chiefs were
held as hostages while the remainder
OF the tribe was directed to cross the
mountains and procure a sum sufficient
to liberate the others. They were gone
several months, and when they came
back an amount more than needed to
pay the ransom was brought in. No one
could ascertain whence the money came,
but from the direction in which they
went and the length of time occupied
in making the trip it was believed that
they went many miles inland.
81 believe that these men went into
the passes Of the Klondike country and
picked up by the crude means at their
command enough gold to secure the
amount needed to complete the ransom.
1t was topic of discussion among those
who were detailed on duty at that time,
and many plans were laid to secure i'll
formation relating to the location Of
the claims, but these Indians kept the
matter secret and would never disclose
where they derived their treasure.

Cantnred n Fish snake.

A queer looking reptile was captured

1t is about three feet long, of a yellow
striped color, but has scales all over
the body like fish. Its eyes are exceed

mouth showed an entire absence OF
fangs, but instead small, fishlike teeth.
When placed on land, it squirmed and
twisted about, but could not crawl like
