Voorhees, and the Blind Woman.

| "Senator Dan Voorhees,, who died
in Washington City the other day,
was the most improvident and prod1-
gal man eve saw" said II. i. Allen
IF Terre Haute, @He regarded money
just as a child-a mere thing to use
for the qualification OF a passing
fancy. Though his income was large
for fifty years. yet it he had not had
the most faithful friends. who watch
ed him in the use of money as parents
do a child playing with fire, 1 don't
believe he ave would have had cash
enough in his pockets or in bank to
pay for Il new suit Of clothes when it
became necessary to buy one.
Several years ago 1 was delighted
to accompany him on n of his ia
mons campaign tours in Indiana.
Somebody always had to go along
with him to see that he didn't throw
all his money away at the first stop

him until we reached Newcastle
When We got to che hotel J counter
his money. He had a $50 bill, a S.
bill and 20 in silver. A blind woman
with two children was singing for
aims in front of the hotel. There was
wonderful pathos in her voice, that
stirred the great heart of VOORHEES, to
its depth. Our room was On tho first
floor, and she stationad herself
squarely in front of our window. Be-
fore she had finished her first Sol e
Vool hees raised the window and
dropped his So in silver in the out
stretched hands of one of her chlI-
dren. I had to go to the p~ostofice
for our mail. My absence wrecked Us
financially. l was gone about ten
minutes. When 1 got back to the
Dor Voorhees, was in tears and hi:
money was all gone. He had given
both the IS and the $50 bin to the
woman, and she was singing for more
though, of course she didn't know
how much he had given her.
II dared not take it from her,
though we were strapped, except for
a few dollars I had.

CYCLING GOSSIP.

The French Cyclists Touring club
mas a membership OF $4,000.
In Denmark no coasting is allowed.
The cyclist must walk down every hill
under penalty of a fine.
a number of enthusiasts claim. that
cycling improves the voice, and are fond
Of quoting Melba, Calve and the De
Eeszkes in support of the notion.
Cyclometers that weigh more than
three ounces are o scorned by all
well regulated wheelmen; but the first
cyclometers weighed three pounds.
A Logging or high shoe that is tight
about the ankle interferes with correct
cycling. The ankle covering should be
loose enough ITO admit of free ~circula-
ton and easy movement.
Most Of the leading makers of wheels
low give a choice of saddles, and some
4 choice of tires. This is q distinct ad-
vantage to riders, and should have been
done long ago.
The next thing in the line of prog
ress is he %unicycle. Naturally one
wheel will run with less friction than
two wheels, and if, as the inventors
claim, it is easier to ride than the BIZ
cycle (Which seems doubtful), we may
look for its general adoption in a few
years.
Switzerland is a cheap country for
cycle touring. A meal of bread, butter,
honey, cheese and coffee costs IS cents,
while a five or ~six-course dinner can
b. had for 60 cents. Wf'h splendid
scenery and good and safe roads, rid
ing in the Alpine country is ever de-
lightful.

There was once an Irishman who
sought employment as a diver. al.
though he had never been beneath
the water. The firm CHANGED to need
o new man, and 30 on the following
Monday morning Pat hid his smile
for the first time in a diving helme'.
The crew to which Pat had attached
himself was working in compare
lively shallow water, and Pat was
provided with a pick and told to use
it on a ledge below. Down he went
with his pick, and for about Is min.
utes nothing was heard from him.
Then came q strong pull ON the signal
rope indicating that Pat had a very
decided wish TO come to the top. The
assistants pulled him hastily to the
raft and removed his helmet. "Take

off the rest OF it?" @Yis," said Pat

Families Along the Illinois Central
Have No Need for Clocks.
Not all residents Of Chicago depend
on clocks to keep themselves informed
Of the time Of day. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that people who live
along the line Of railroads can tell the
exact hour of o day or night by the
trains which pass their homes. Along
the line of the Illinois Central railroad,
for instance, there are many homes
where clocks are an unknown luxury.
In the vicinity of Thirty-first street,
for instance, there is u household which
morning, says the Chicago Chronicle.
"We always get up at 211," said a
member OF tho household to q com
panion in a street car the other day.
1.-TWO eleven, what time is that?'
asked the friend.
"Wby, I thought you knew" replied
the other, "211 is the seven o'clock train
which passes the house. AS soon as we
hear the bell on the 211 we all get up
Then we watch for She other trains. W.
can see them pass the house and rs VIZ
all are acquainted with the schedule
we can tell the exact time Of day. Al
night we tell the hour by the bells on
tho engines. We are familiar with the
sounds. No, we have no clock in
the house. Never had one as for as
can remember and we find train time
more reliable than a lot of clocks which
cannot be kept in repair"

According to the most reliable in

1t IL not likely that there will be

MIR. Hanna to make any changes and
as no Federal appointment for the

4. Willard, Brokers, OF a Hall Dozen
Cities Mako An Assignment.

The large firm of ]. r. Willard &
Co.. bankers and brokers, with Offices
in New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo,
Washington and Montreal, made an
assignment on Friday.
No statement of the condition of
the firm is obtainable, but it is esti-
mated that their liabilities will reach
sI,ooo,ooo Mr.. Dwiggins is at
present travelling in Europe. J. r.
willard, senior member Of the firm,
has been a member of the Consoli-
dated exchange since September 73,
1905. He had represented the firm
in Chicago and had branch Office in
that city up to few months ago, when
it closed and the business was taken
over by John Dickinson & Co.
Elmer Dwiggins was the working
head Of the firm. He made applica-
ton to be admitted to membership in
the Consolidated exchange on July
Al, but was not admitted. Elmer and
Dwiggins, who are brothers, are
nephews Of Zlmri Dwiggins, who
founded large system of country
banks in Illinois, Indiana and other
western states, most Of which failed in
the panic of 1893.
"The cause of the failure" said AS
signee Starbuck, sis simply that the
firm has been upon the wrong side OF
the market. They have been shor,
on stock and grain"
The firm has done 4 big business
on the consolidated exchange withir
sixty days, having run as high as o,ooc
10 10000 shares of stock daily. The
assignee, Mr.. Starbuck, is one of the
bookkeepers of the firm. On his be
half another employee made the fol
lowing statement:
at is difficult to tell what the liza
bllities OF the firm are, but they will
probably amount 20 as much a
100000. 1t is even more Difficult
at this time to give any idea of tn
assets of the firm. Whatever the,
are, they consist mainly of cash il
bank, outstanding accounts an
securities. There is some prospeo
Of resumption of business, provide
reasonable settlement can be mad

Train Was not Wrecked.
Misdirected Mustard Plaster Creates Panic
In a Sleeper.

Another sleeping car story is being
circulated, and the truth OF it is back
ed by man we'll known in Chicago
for his veracity and adherence Of
exaggeration. He tells the story on
himself, or rather his wife, and, while
it savors of the usual sleeping car tale,
1t has its good points.
Together with his wife, the man
was travelling recently from California.
One night he awoke in his berth in
the agony Of horrible pains in the sto-
mach. AS they were passing through
prohibition district, and there was
nothing more tempting on board than
apollinaris water, his intentions were
honest when he shrieked loudly for
brandy.
But there was none to be had, so,
with the instinct of true woman dur
ing family affliction, the wife rushed
to her satchel and drew t.lerefrom a
mustard plaster, an institution upon
which she pinned her faith in cases OF
the kind, and requested the porter to
get hot water without delay.
When the poultice was in readiness
tor application, she returned and care
fully pulled aside the curtains OF a
berth, tenderly placing the plaster.
An instant later howl rent the
air, and a voice of agony, emanating
from behind the long whiskers OF
stranger, gasped out:
"Great heavens, the trains wreck
ed The boilers lying on me :! on
how it burns! Help! Help! Fire
Fire !"
Nightcars, disordered frizzes, rec
and sleepy eyes and ashen faces were
thrust out into the aisle in horror
wonder and surprise. The poo
woman who was the innocent cause o
the excitement hastily withdrew t'
her own quarters, while the porter re-
moved the ''boiler" from the strange
and assured everybody that all wa
well.- Chicago Inter Ocean.

SEALING CLAIMS
Lansing Argues the Case for the
United States

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. 15.-Mr. Lam
sing again had the floor today before
the Bering sea commission. He endeav-
ored to show how difficult it was to cap
ture seals and how much speculation en-
tered into the business.
Speaking of the length Of the season,
Mr. Lansing said there were only two
instances in the British case from 1886
to 1890 in which seals were taken in Sep
tember. This fact must be taken in to
consideration when estimating the
catch. as the long season has been taken
as a basis by the British counsel in pre-
pairing claims. He then took up the ar
gument of the United States relative to
the value of vessels. The United States
claims that the original method of COM
putting damages used by Great Britain
was to consider the returns from actual
sales of vessels. Now the basis was the
actual cost. On this point he charged
the counsel Of Great Britain with a
change of front. He contended that
evidence had been submitted by Great
Britain as to the price received from
sales. and therefore the intention of that
country to follow out that line of argu-
ment was clearly outlined. He cited
many cases to show the price received
for sealing vessels at Victoria
