THE NAUGHTY DAME.
How a Young Man Got Even with Her
for Rudeness.

for Rudeness.
She was tall woman and somewhat
angular. Her clothes were in the eX-
treme of fashion and her big summer
hat was alive with nodding flowers.
There were traces about her of former
beauty, but most of them were only
dimly reminiscent. She walked the
streets as if she held the deeds of them
in her white-gloved hand, and people
looked after her in profound wonder
When she reached Pittsburgh station
the ting-tlng-ting of the bell which
warRngly heralds the closing of the
safety gates, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. She stalked steadily forward
and the bar which falls across the
sidewalk was descending directly above
her devoted head. A half dozen people
called to her, A policeman shouted.
She never turned her nodding head
gear. Then, just as the descending tim
Der touched her hat man sprang for
ward, caught her by the arm and pulled
her aside, the heavy bar grazing her as
1t descended.
Sir" she cried, "what do you mean
by this rudeness?"
II beg your pardon, ma'am." said the
stranger, Il simply endeavored to save
you from a cracked skull"

ought to hand you over to this officer"
The policeman bowed deferentially.
'You will excuse me, too, ma 'am," he
said, but the young man used no more
roughness than was necessary to save
you from bad thump on the head"
II will report you for impudence."
said the tall dame, with a withering
look at the policeman. Then she turned
again to the young man. Let this be
q lesson to you," she said. land never re-
peat the offense."
The young man lifted his hat.

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
Fy irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally a legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out q
way TO speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cent
We have special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we can furnish our subscribers the
book for 10 cents.

OIL ON TRACKS.
Successfully Used for Laying Dust on
Jersey Railroad.

Successfully Used for LR wing Dust on
Jersey Railroad.
Oil for laying dust on track ballasted
with gravel and cinders is being used
on the West Jersey and Seashore rail
road. j. III. Nichols, assistant en-
ginesr, says this plan has passed the
experimental stage, and that they are
only awaiting the completion of a car
for distributing the oil mechanically
to cover all dusty places on the road.
At the present time there are about
four miles of track SO treated. The
rails are kept clean by means of Il
shield. The result obtained is a com
plete freedom from dust at points
which were formerly the most dusty
on the division. The spraying will be
required but once a season after the
renewal of ties.
When 1t becomes necessary to dis
turb the track for repairs it will prob
ably be necessary to spray again, but
it is thought that after not more than
three applications the ballast will be
impregnated with oil to n sufficient
depth to render subsequent treatment
unnecessary. The oil is of a special
kind, having two properties fitting it
for this use. First, it is penetrating
and tenacious, and, second, it is not
combustible as used, but can only be
burned by converting it into spray
almost resembling gas in tineness. 1t
is almost without volatile ingredients
and has therefore but little odor, and
that not of an unpleasant character,
even when first applied, and this odor
decreases on exposure. The oil can be
distributed in place at total cost of
less than $50 per mile of single track.

TIE New York lie old has made a poll O. the United States Senate and it shows that sixty two Senators will vote against the sugar sehed- tile of the tariff bill as framed by the finance committee of the Senate, and which the whole country now knows was dictated by the Sugar Trust after the Dingley bill had passed the House. A number of Senators who are now absent from Washington, will also vote to knock out the work of the trust and agents, and it is estimated that the majority against the sugar schedule will be between l2 and 15. The feeling ii Congress against the trust is growing stonger, owing to the ar rogance and effrontery it has dis played in it's attempts to control Legislation in it's own interest, and there IS every reason now to believe that for the first time since it's or ganization the, trust will be unable to have included in the tariff bill a sugar schedule of its own making. = New Orleans Stotes.

Liquor by the Wholesale.

Messrs. l.. < E. Wertheimer. the popular young wholesale liquor dealers of Pine Bluff, have just re- leived perhaps the largest single consignment of liquor ever brought to the State. The consignment con- sisted of 450 barrels of whisky. made by the famous Sour Mash Dis tilling Co.,, of Owensboro. Ky. in May, '93. This whisky is noted the world over for its excellence, and was purchased at remark ably low figures. The trade of the Messrs. Wertheimer is increasing so rapidly that they are forced to make large orders, and this very fact rebounds to the interest of their customers, for by reason of the large purchases the Mtssrs. Wertheimer get better terms, which they share with their patrons; hence their increasing trade,
 We congratulate the Messrs. Wer- theimer on their success and pros perity. May it never diminish!

l. F. Rutherford, l,...........................50 J. r. Alexander,....- .....................437 ". L. Dewoody ,..........................3
 The above, in brief, is the result of the school election Saturday. Not in years has there been as large a vote or as much interest manifes ted i'll a school election as that which characterized the election yesterday of two directors to succeed Messrs Dewoody and Parker on the school board This was due to the prominence and popularity of the candidates, and also to the fact that interest iA our public schools is in- creaslng.
 The surpl ise of the election was the defeat of MT. w. L. Dewoody, who for sixteen years has been a faithful and efficient member of the school board and who was thought to have lifetime hold on the office His defeat, is no doubt, largely due to overconfidence and when the result became known, there were universal expressions of surprise and reg~et over his defeat. It is nothing but justice to Mr. Dewoody to say that during the sixteen years of his service as member of the school board ne has been a most efficient officer, sacrificing, at times, even his private interests to look after mat ters coming within the jurisdiction of his office, and that his counsel was always sought in the deliber- ations of the board. For the dis tinguished services he has rendered in this purely honorary but import ant office in the past he is deserving of the gratitude of all the patrons of the public schools, and we trust it will be accorded him.
 The following is the vote by wards.
