"COAL OIL JOHNNY'' TO-DAY.

He Wheels q Truck on a Railway Plat
form In Ashland.
E. H. Baldwin, prominent citizen
OF Ashland, Neb., spoke recently of
Coal Oil Johnny.
Goal Oil Johnny was famous char
acter back in the sixties, and his name
appears in the encyclopedias as AN
American spendthrift' and will, 1 sup
pose, SO appear for all time, said Mr..
Baldwin. ellis history is so we'll known
that it is unnecessary to tell how he
made his money in the oilfields of
Pennsylvania; how he went down to
Philadelphia and New York and stop
ped at the best hotels. Everybody
knows that he paid So for a shoe shine,
bought a carriage and gave it to the
driver who had hauled him a block,
spent SO, 900 for wine in a week at a
hotel in Philadelphia and in other ways
spent money so that the world was talk
ing about him.
"He married somewhere, and he is
now wheeling truck for the Burling-
ton railroad at Ashland His son is the
agent of the company. Johnny is today
an old and grabbed man. He never
speaks to any one, and it is seldom that
he answers a question put to him and
never if it has any reference to his past
life His son, too, is as reticent con-
corning his father as the father himself
"He goes about his humdrum exist
ence in a mechanical sort of a way,
wheeling the trunks of the travelling
men and the butter and eggs of the
farmer just as an old horse, former
racer, goes about his work of drawing a
dray, and perhaps the thoughts of the
two are much the same. have no
doubt but what Johnny bitterly regrets
the money he spent In such a reckless
fashion that he became one of the his
torical characters of the United States.
He is an old man comparatively. l
should judge that he was above so or
at least close to that age Ihave known
him for the 10 or IL years he has lived
in Ashland, and l have never yet seen
him say 20 consecutive words to any
one.
st will never do for stranger to
speak to him. He will turn his back
and walk away. He suspects that every
stranger who speaks to him is some
newspaper man who has ferreted out
his existence there and wants a talk
out of him. That is, l am told the
reason why so many travellers who do
not know who he is speak about him as
being the surliest man on the face Of
the globe.
''His son is married and is we'll
known in Ashland. He is an agreeable
man and a general favorite, but he is
as dumb as the regulation oyster when
the conversation is turned upon his ia

solutely nothing, probably because his
father has so posted him. st. Louis

ANOTHER GOOD SAMARITAN.
Mrs. Raws Will Establish Colony of Cit

Mrs. Raws Will Establish Colony of Cit
izens In New Jersey.
Few women have done as much for
the poor of her city as has Mrs. Will
liam Raws of Philadelphia There is
hardly traveller Of this or any 9TH
er city who does not know the genial,
kindly woman who organized the who
soever Gospel mission" and who ex.
tends the hand of greeting to every
man, woman or boy in trouble or in
need.
Mrs. Raws purchased a tract of land
within the last few weeks at Writings,
N. j., where men and women can be
taken away from their old haunts into
the pure country air, which refreshes
and invigorates them, and where they
grow strong physically and morally
again. The farm consists Of 421 acres
of land-60 acres cleared and so acres
of cranberry boys and $50 acres of fine,
large timber. There are four houses,
barns, stables and chicken houses, and
a sawmill in full working order, run
by water power from lake of natural
springs on the property. Mrs. Raws in
tends to live there, and several families
who have been helped back to respecta-
bility by her will form the first settlers
of the colony. The property will be
held in trust by board of trustees, in
cluding the Rev. DIR. Chapman Of New
York, the Rev. DR. H. M. Wharton of
Baltimore and Mrs. D. Wilson Moore of
Clayton, N. j. The settlers intend to
raise large quantities of chickens and
ducks, grow fruits and truck for mar
ket, manufacture brushes and kindling
wood and follow such other industries
as may be found practicable.
Writings is the junction where the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, the
Pennsylvania and the Tuckerton rail-
roads meet. 1t is near Lakewood and
Barnegat pier, and the residents of both
places are anxious 10 aid in the disposal
of the farm products. The railroad COM
panies are favoring in every way posi-
bic the establishing of ee4ef5yF, and
Mrs Raws has no doubts of its final
success. Coupled with the Philadelphia
work, she believes that there will be
possibilities of the establishing of one
of the largest and most successful enter
prises in the state. Rescue work will be
especially aimed for New York Trib-
me.

A Debt Collecting Buggy.

business in collecting bad debts by stop

around the top of which are these words
"This buggy only stops in front of the
houses of people who will not pay their
debts. " Everybody. and particularly
business people, dread this mans buggy
SO much that they pay promptly.

Cement Pipes.

Cement pipes are made cheaply by
an ingenious process devised by French
inventor, A trench is dug and the bot
tom filled with cement mortar. On this
is placed a rubber tube covered with
canvas and inflated The trench is then
filled up with cement. AS soon as this
is set the air is let out of the rubber
tube. which is then removed and used
again in another section. By this method
6 inch pipes have been made at cost OF
20 cents yard.

A NEW WOMAN.

She's up to date and strictly new,
And yet she's not aflame with zeal.
She wears no skirt that's sewed in two
She is not skilled to ride wheel.
Her sex wrongs she does not feel.
NO public scheme her thoughts pursue,
And yet, the fact can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled,
And, though her eyes are deeply blue,
No occult force her glances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view.
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new.
All homage at her shrine is due.
Her claim no mortal dares to scorn.
she from the infinite takes her cue.
She's fresh as earth's primeval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn
For, now to prove my statements true,
It's scarce one moon since she was bosn
You see, she's hew

SHOOTS NO PIGEONS,
But Mrs. Day Has Made q Hit in

Among the novelties Of the state
shooting tournament to be held at
Washington park this week, says the
Kansas City Times, will be lady trap
shooter, Mrs. DR.. D. H. Day, Of st.
Paul, Mimi, who arrived yesterday
with her husband. They were out at
the grounds yesterday examining the
traps and fixtures. Mrs. Day was
particularly interested in the pigeon
house, which now contains 10000 live
birds.
ct never could shoot at live
pigeon" said she. "They are such
pretty, harmless things. and then, it's
Just as much fun to shoot at the mud
pies and takes just as much skill.
When can break my targets as well
as the best shots among the men l
will be satisfied. 1 will leave the live
bird shooting to those who enjoy it
more than I do"
Mrs. Day is as fond Of trap-shoot-
ing as her husband, and has made
some excellent scores The second day
Of the Des Moines shoot she broke 105
out of 12O birds, making an average
of 871a per cent. Her average for the
three days was S4.6 per cent, which
was considerably higher than many OF
the men. At the Waterloo shoot last
week she ran 46 out of so birds in
three events. and the shooting there
was very difficult, as the few straight
scores made will testify.

cept, because of his, possibly, more linz
tied range of observation. There is ev-
erywhere a preponderance OF fair
weather honesty, and there is saving
quantity of it that will stand the strain
Of severe temptation; but a cornstalk
and an oak will stand equally upright
in calm, and it is the gale that dis
closes the difference In stamina. So
there Is a large number Of men who
are honest, who pass through their
lives earning reputation for integrity
because no gale Of temptation mas
blown over them. We believe, TOO,
that the natural, first impulses Of the
great majority of men are honest. But
no man who has observed his fellows
much but knows that there is a limit
of strength beyond which it is not safe
to press the integrity of very many OF
his fellows.
Experienced lobbyists, whose busi-
ness it is to corrupt men charged with
public duties, divide men into three
classes, the absolutely incorruptible,
the corruptible and the corrupt, and
they assign about one-third of human
ity to each class Two-thirds of man
kind are thus ballasted more or less
with good morals and pass for and are
considered honest men. One-half of
these, however, have morals with more
I'LL l,f, &c,
more favorable showing for our COM
mon humanity than that made by the
gentlemen who furnished Miss Evans
with their opinions, as it leaves about
so per cent of men whose morals will
carry them safely over any ordinary
danger. But whether the business men
who gave their estimate to Miss Evans
or the experienced and expert buyers
of men are right or wrong is apart
from the real question, and that is
whether general conditions are not
such as to call for the addition Of
moral training as a distinct factor in
school studies.
So important were thought to be the
results of instruction IN the effects Of
indulgence in alcoholic stimulants that
several states have required distinct
instruction in it. Is honesty of less i'm
portance? There will develop drunk
ards from those who have been taught
the ruinous effects of excessive indul-
gence in intoXicants, and so there will be
men and women who will be dishonest
even if the effects of it are taught
them in the schools; but that is only
saying that humanity is still far from
perfection, and that some seed always
falls on barren spots. But, if effort is
to be abandoned because result is in
commensurate to it, the teaching of
morality by our churches Should have
been given up in despair centuries ago.
But there is always the residuum of
good result that shows increasingly
through the years. and the aim of our
school system, the production of good
citizens, will be better served when
those things are taught that will make
moral basis for the education of the
mind

Monday night, relative to the water not be-
ing turned on in the several parks, brought
lock, of the park board held a consulta-
ton with President Bement, of the water
board, and the result was that the custodians
in the parks of the city were furnished with
water to sprinkle the lawns and plants
The trouble all arose from the fact that
the city had refused to pay the water board
for the water used in the parks for the past
year and half and, according to the books
of the water board, there is due them from the
this amount and sent to the council, where
they have also been approved and forwarded
to the comptroller. Here they have disap-
peared. It Is claimed by the water board
that the comptroller for the past five years has
included in the tax estimates each year,
under the head Of water supply fund, sums
which in the aggregate amount to SIT 800
to the reports of the comptroller, only $1,000
has been expended, leaving a balance of over
SO 900 with which the water bills Of the park
board could be paid. The comptroller has
refused to pay the bills and the water board
in order to bring the matter to focus, refused
to turn on the water in the parks.
Comptroller McCardy, asked yesterday about
the trouble. appeared greatly surprised. The
situation as outlined above being explained in
there had been some correspondence between
the water board and the city attorneys Of
fce but as to the outcome he had not been
advised. At the next meeting OF The water
board the matter will be taken up and an
attempt made to have the dineulty adjusted.
