DIED TO SAVE A DOG.

AS the engineer of the Erie express,
New York bound, approached the River

Gently he saw a young man, with a
couple of hounds at his heels, hurriedly
cross the tracks.
The young man and one of the dogs
got safely over. The other stopped be-
tween the rails directly i'll the path of
the onrushing locomotive and stood as
if dazed The man turned, called the
dog and whistled shrilly, but the hound
stood as if fascinated, needing neither
whistle nor call.
Just an instant the young man hest
tated. Then he made dash III front OF
the locomotive, seized the dog and
threw it out of harms way. But he had
miscalculated the speed Of the train.
The pilot of the engine struck him
squarely and his marelcd lody was
thrown far into the air and out to the
side of the tracks.
The impetus of the train carried it
mile or more. AS soon as it could be
stopped it was backed slowly to the
scene of the accident. When the train
men alighted, the body lay still where
it had fallen. The two hounds were
standing over it, baying mournfully al
the top of their voices. The trainmer
had 20 remove them by force while they
examined the man lying, bruised anc

A Persistent ONCE Seeker.

The most persistent office seeker seen
at the White House since the beginning
of the Mckinley administration is James
Anderson McReady of Boston. he Is q
funny looking little man about 90 years
old, with whiskers slightly tinged with
gray and wears bell top hat with
wide black band, black clothes, turn
down collar and black tie. He usually
walks with his head down and takes
quick, jerky steps. He is candidate for
consul general in Montreal. Despite the
fact that Representative Barrett OF Bos-
ton told him that he had no chance
whatever of securing the place Mr.. Mo
Ready still comes to the White House
and refuses to believe that he will not
be appointed. He has been in Washing
ton, according to his own statement
two solid months and has been mt the
White House twice nearly every day
Still he has seen the president only hve
times. He arrives in the morning at
about 10 O'Clock, waits around until
noon without seeing the president, then
returns again after luncheon and takes
his place at the reporters table and SITS
around until late in the afternoon. ms
has been his practice for weeks.-New

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
She Secured Consulsbip For Her Intend
ed Husband.

There were not more than dozen
people present at the marriage in New
York of Miss Laura Delphine Fitzpatrick
to Mr.. Harry II. Morgan on recent
morning, yet it marked the conclusion
of one of the prettiest romances of the
year. Miss Fitzpatrick is the youngest
daughter of the late General Hugh Jud-
son Fitzpatrick. u. S. A. Mr.. Harry
Hayes Morgan is the son of Judge p.
II. Morgan, late of the supreme court of
Louisiana.
General Fitzpatrick was once minister
10 Chile--in fact, he married in that
country-and it was there his daughter
was born. During her fathers term as
minister Miss Fitzpatrick had formed a
strong affection for everything diplo-
matte She became suddenly imbued
with the idea that her sum of happiness
would be complete if she could only Sc
cure foreign appointment which
would carry her abroad as soon as she
was married
Miss Fitzpatrick spent some time in
Washington last winter, Her father
and Vice President Hobart had been in
innate friends She called on him and
blushingly explained the object of her
visit, an appointment for her prospec-
tive husband He gallantly offered to
aid her and as the first step introduced
her to the president.
When the president argued that there
were a few others who wanted foreign
appointments, she answered gently that
there was surely none more deserving
than she. Whatever her ways and her
manners, at all events she won the day.
The president surrendered completely
and promised that before her wedding
was celebrated Mr.. Morgan should have
desirable position abroad.
What seemed to the young lover tre-
mendously long wait followed. Miss
Fitzpatrick was just contemplating an
other trip to Washington when mes
sage from the White House summoned
her betrothed to Washington. From the
hands of President Mckinley himself
Mr.. Morgan received commission as
consul to Horgen, Switzerland, an ap
pointment with salary of $4,000 6
J year.
"This is your brides wedding gift,
said the president. Il know you vii
= prize it as much as you love and cherish
her. ~

CHASTITY INDIAN RELICS.
Bones OF = Giant Race ON San Nicolas
Island.

After nearly three weeks sojourn on
the barren island of San Nicolas party
of relic hunters reached Long Beach.
CAL, loaded with skeletons, skulls and
ancient implements and ornaments OF
stone and shells, the remains of Indian
tribes which inhabited the now almost
desert waste in bygone ages.
There were II in the party which left
Long Beach in the gasoline schooner
San Clemente for San Nicolas island,
which lies SO miles off the coast from
Santa Barbara. Four days were occupied
III the journey TO the island owing TO
the dense fogs, and after landing the
party the schooner returned to Long
Beach and the explorers were left to
their work.
The party found 81 skulls buried in
the sand of the island, but were only
able to secure three entire. They made
one excavation 90 feet square in which
they found nine skeletons in crouching
attitude, as though men, women and
children had been buried alive. In an
other place they found the remains OF
hundreds of bodies that had been burned,
and some of the party believe that Gre
nation was practiced by the ancient peo-
pie of the island.
Positive evidence was found that the
island was inhabited by two or more
different races in the dim past, one of
which was of great size, peculiar char
acteristic being gigantic jawbones.
Some of the specimens of the latter
brought by the party are almost large
enough to slip over the head of an ordi-
nary man. Mr. Longfellow, one of the
| party, speaking of the trip, said:
Zone of the most interesting relics
brought back by us was part of a skele-
ton of large man in whose bones a
long bone spear point was sticking. In
the shattered skull was big round
stone used as war implement. The
spear passed near the heart and entirely
through the shoulder blade. l am sure
that two different races fought and diet
on the island, as most of the bodies were
of moderate size while some were al
most giants. The latter were always IL
isolated graves. We found many nipple
ments and weapons of stone, but all arr
very crude and show almost no orna
mentation. San Francisco Chronicle

ChamDioned by a Dog.

Several years ago in Wisconsin, before
the Indian had retired from the neigh
borhCod of the white man, mother
and her little girl were alone i'll their
cottage on the edge of great forest.
Everything seemed peaceful, and there
was no thought of danger. The mother
sat inside the door sewing, while the
child was in the bright sunshine play
ing. Their large black dog Cuff was the
only other member of the family. Sud
denly half dozen Indians fresh from
recent raid on whisky stood in the door
way and demanded more whisky. The
lady had no whisky, but offered them
food and drink. The Indians, however,
were drunk, and before the mother
could interfere the toughest seized the
little girl and was making off with her
when the dog, which had wandered
away q short distance, came bounding
back. In an instant he had the savage
by the throat and threw him to the
ground. The others, having no farms,
beat hasty retreat. The dog kept 9
tight grip OH the Indian until they hao
all gone, then released him, and he also
departed. Dumb Animals.

Spiders Web Made Into Cloth.

M. Cachot, French chemist, recent
" put in a claim for the reward OF
So, 600 which the Manufacturers union
of England offered two years ago to the
scientist who would invent a use for
the web of the common spider. When
the manufacturers arrived the other day
at nj. Cachot's laboratory, they saw IN
the corner of the room running from
the floor to the ceiling queer arrange
ment of bobbins worked by dynamo.
Looking farther up on the walls, they
saw large number of spiders. They
had long mandibles and an immense
abdomen, from the rear end OF which
issued threads As the threads came
from them the bobbins wound 1t, and
thus secured long strands OF the unbro-
ken thread For experimental purposes
a little of the spider web was made III
to cloth. 1t was found to give a fabric
very silky to the touch and as fine as
oriental silk. 1t may be that the dell
cate silks of the ancients was made
from the web of the spider, for it has
never since been duplicated. The silk
robes which Cleopatra easily pulled
