managed to keep up his assessments on
his STEMS Pass properties. He struck

sold out, his property going into the
La Fortuna group. He received some
$4,000, bought himself q ranch in Cal

property and, having the money, con-
cluded to do a little development work.
He needed a powder house and wrote
down to Thos. Fox and asked him to
blast out a foundation on the Coon To-

INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY "L"
Truculent Negro Passengers Subdued BY .

Truculent Negro Passengers Subdued BY .
Friend of the Conductor.
On the alley al" road one evening q
trio of negroes boarded southbound
train and proceeded in O way to cap
ture the car they were in. They stood
in the aisle and obstructed the prog
ress OF people coming and going out
at the different stations and were in
clined to be disputatious and quarrel
some with anybody who yentured to
criticise their conduct. One of them in
particular, the largest of the three,
was especially pugnacious, and finally,
when the conductor ordered them 10
take their seats the big fellow threat
ened all sorts of destruction to the
official, and defied him openly to lay
hands on him, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The conductor passed to the next car
and enlisted the services of an acquaint-
ance of his, "bouncer" at one of the
smaller theaters. This worthy weighed
about go pounds and was giant in
strength and size. He walked into the
car where the darkies stood, grabbed
the big one. who was at least half foot
shorter than the bouncer, and dragged
him to the door.
AS the car was just then Stacking mp
at station the oouncer threw the col
ored man clear over the gate and on to
the platform without waiting for the
guard to open the gate. The darky
sprawIed oil over the platform and his
two companions skunk to seats as the
bouncer looked back into the car. The
train went on. the two remaining "ter-
Tors" keeping very still.
Afterseveralstations had been passed
one of them spoke in subdued tones to
the other. All he said was: "Dat aholy
was Q strong man."

COUNTING OF THE VOTES.

N Msoent Elections There Has Been LIT
ele Fraud I'm Now York.
The counting of votes has been In
ne PAST moro fruitful of trickery and
thlxiflcation than any other part OF
Shna election process. In 1893 the car
vwErcrs IN certain districts reduced tho
Hartter TO its lowest terms by simply
peporting n unanimous vote on their
eifr, and then going out to fling up their.
bats for the rest of the night. In the
Subsequent election competent and ir-
nor1uptible men supervised the canvass
@n strictly that the percentage of fraud
was 20 small, if any existed, as never to
be- henrd of. This watching, says n
writer in Century, at the count not only
prevented Intentional lying, but savei
accidental mistakes. In one case the
hoard of inspectors confessed they did
not know how 10 count the votes, and
submitted entirely to the guidance OF
o 0well-informed watcher.
The counting is done in public, and
Ss often an interesting sight. Every or
xznizntion and each candidate may.
send representative to observe II,
though nobody but the inspectors is
permitted to touch the ballots. The
Straight tickets are first counted in tens
by four men in succession, and tally
Is lept by at least two assistants. Each
Hame is credited with rs many votes
ss there are tickets for his side. Then
enc inspector reads off of those tickets
which are split" or have rasters at
taehed, or upon which names have been
erased or new names written, and each
asr1tiidate is credited with vote every
tlrrs his name appears. When this is
hnished the most prominent office is
tassen up, and the sum of the votes for
wseb candidate is ascertained.

suit.
Louis XII was of the opinion that 1t
was unworthy of the king of France to
revenge himself for the insults he
suffered as prince royal. Emperor Will
liam OF Germany il Of like opinion, says
the New York Times.
Baron de Krosik, who has just been
appointed grand cross OF the Red
Eagle order, was formerly colonel of the
hnssar regiment in which the emperor
rs youth first did military service. One
night at mess, toward the close of n
banquet at which the young prince,
then mere captain, had invited his
friend, Archduke Rudolph, the conver-
sation turned to the projected reforms
in the cavalry.
William declared himself n partisan
OF these reforms and defended his opin-
lon with so much impetuosity that Col.
Won Krosik, very much excited, sudden
ly interrupted him. "It is an absurdi-
ty," said he in a loud voice and con-
temptuous tone as he ridiculed the idea
put forth by the prince.
"It is WE'LL" replied the prince. "To-
day you are my superior officer. and
must bow before you, but our positions
may change"
When his former subordinate as
cended the throne Baron Won Krosik
fully expected to see his name put on
the retired list. But the Emperor ap-
pointed him general. gave him the i'm
portant dictatorship of the School of
Cavalry, of Hanover, and has ever
treated him with the greatest respect.

LIFE IN THE GREAT CITIES.
Its Tendency Is Not to Enervate Ma
finns.


And as to tbs tendency of the growth
of great cities to enervate nations there
is no proof of it al all unless we identity
the life of great cities with the passion
for idleness and pleasure ard self-in-
diligence, which sometimes, but by no
means universally, accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator.
When you get IL large proletariat liv-
ing, as that OF ancient Rome and pos
sibly of Nineveh and Babylon did, on
the aims Of the rich and powerful, then
no doubt you have the conditions of
a thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life, and no one can wonder at the rapid
decay of such cities and of the nations
which gloried in them. But where the
honest working class far outnumbers
the proletariat, where the middle
classes Of distributors and manufac-
turers and professional men are labor
ious and energetic. and even the class
that lives on its accumulated wealth
contains considerable sprinkling of
serious and disinterested workers, VIC
io not believe that there is the smallest
evidence Of any greater danger in the
life of the city than in the life of the
agricultural village of the pastoral
tribe. Indeed, we should regard Olive
Schreiner's picture of the life of the
modern Beers as indicating condi-
ton of things more prolific of morbid
elements, with its almost complete abb
sence of any stirring or active intelli-
gence, than any kind of modern life
that is honestly laborious at all. The
Doer life is too sleepy, too destitute OF
stirring thought or effort, to be alto
gcther natural. 1t needs at least the
old element of danger and necessary
vigilance to render it even braoing.
