THE BRAVE WORK OF WOMEN.

Some months agoa numberof Armenians.
driven from their own country by fear Of
murder at the hands of the Turks, arrived
in this country. News of their departure
had been received by Boston officials of the
Woman IS Christian Tenn eranceUnion, which
had made arrangements to provide for
them in some way. On the day of their
arrival eight of the immigrants were in
duced to accompany a smooth-tOngued
stranger to Virginia, where light work and
good pay were said to be in prospect. The
W. c. T U. people investigated the matter
and with some difficulty learned that the
youths were employed by a moonshiner.
1t was at once determined that an effort
should be made to rescue the Armenians
from such demoralizing influences. Mrs
Susan s. Fessenden, president of the Massa-
chusetts branch, and Miss Peterson, Sec
retary of the Boston branch, offered th"ir
services, deciding to personally brave the
terrors of the moonshiners' camp.
Both women were keenly alive to the dan
gers which beset them, but they were deter
mined to become martyrs TO the cause, if
need be. and to rescue the Armenians at
any cost.
"If death must cone,'' declared the presi-
dent, 1--WE will die together" a sentiment
which Miss Peterson seconded without hesi
tation. They were not killed however, nor
were they even molested by the wicked
moonshiners. In fact, the greatest diff
cultythey had was in finding man togui.ie
them to the still. Finally, at Port Royal,
Va, a sturdy sheriff was found who con-
fessed that he, too, was willing 90 die with
the president and secretary, if worse came
to worse, and the three Sc out for the camp,
which was some miles distant from Port
Roval In describing her adventure Mrs.
Fessenden says:
After bidding goodbye tothe lawyer who
had enlisted the services OF the brave sher-
iff we set out for the still, place dreaded
by the surrounding country. The house
stands on high, abrupt bill. The members
of it, besides the Armenians whom we had
come to rescue, are father, who has terri
BILE attacks of delirium tremens; dissoluae
woman whopassed as his wife, and a young
man, an outlaw and a fugitive from justice
Our plan was to take them by surprise, SO
that the moonshiners would have no time
to hide the Armenians. 1t worked, and five
boys were esurrenderedto us without word
of protest. The others had made their es-
cape some days before. The boys had had
little work to doand had beenpaid promptly
each in Confederate scrip They were
glad enough TO return with us.'-Chicago

Western Lines Acting Independently
Owing to the Recent Decision.
Chicago, March 27.-Already the West
ern roads are beginning to acknowledgements
action on rate matters, though there has
not yet been an official notice of the disso-
luton of any of the traffic organizations.
The Chicago, Nil waukee and st. Paul yes
terday announced an open one-way rate
from Chicago to points in Minnesota and
North Dakota.
The Chicago Great Western celebrated
its severance from the Western Freight
Association by applying the 33 1-3 per
cent reduction recently made on shipments
from Atlantic Seaboard points to ST.
Paul to all business originating east OF
tine Indiana and Illinois State lines, This
practically establishes 40 per cent basis,
first class, from Chicago TO st. Paul.
Vice President G. 6. Warner, of the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain sys-
TENS at st. Louis, announced last night
that in view of the recent decision of tie
United States Supreme Court, his COM
panies had Withdrawn from all passenger

SOME LATE NEW THINGS.

A recently designed ink well, which
keeps the ink from drying up, has a
crescent-shaped top, with the ends pro-
iecting upward, one end being piy0ted so
that the other end, having slot for the
pen, swings down into the ink chamber
when the pen is inserted and closes the
opening when the pen is withdrawn.
Among the many newly patented BIZ
cycle brakes one of the most novel is a
shoe extending over the upper wheel and
hinged to the rear of the frame, a rod
extending downward from the saddle to
the loose end of the shoe, so that when
the rider straightens up the back Of the
saddle is depressed, and pushes the brake
down on the tire.
To assist in quickly attaching lengths Of
hose together a newly patented coupler
has two Hanged sections, one in each end
of the hose, which are placed end to end
surmounted by a hinged metal band, which
is locked in place by pin, the inside of
the band being lined with rubber packing
to prevent leakage.
Bullet proof cloth lately patented is
formed of layers of closely woven strong
fabric, a thick layer of straight unwoven
hair, several layers OF strong parallel
cords laid compactly together, a re- enforce
ment of pasteboard laid next to the layers
of cord and an inner cushioning of felt all
sewed tightly together.
For the purpose of signaling trains
when a bridge is destroyed by fire OF
floods wire cord is interiaced between
the ties and rails, the ends being at
oil h.
the closing Of the spring throwing out
flag OF red light over the track on each
side of the bridge and giving the alarm at
the nearest signal tower or passenger
station.
To prevent the trolley pole from flying
up and striking cross wires when it
slips from the power wire weight is
placed in an uprig ght well at the
side of the car and attached to the pole
by means of q cord, the weight being held
In place by spring catch attached
to the trolley rope, and released when
the rope is drawn tight, when the weight
drops and pulls the trolley down to the car
loof.
Firemen will appreciate recently pat
ented device, consisting of metal frame
to surround the face fastened by strap
at the back, and having an isinglass win
dow in front, together with tube to be
used for breathing, the outer end OF the
tube containing q moist sponge to purify
the air. Another device for the same
purpose has a pneumatic tube around its
edge to fit tightly to the face of the wearer.
Libraries which are overcrowded with
books can make use Of a recently patented
Of tvvO chains
running over wheels at opposite ends of the
case, the shelves being pivotally attached
to the chains, so that they can swung
around to the back of the c; len the
books on the other shelves wanted,
thus making each case hold GoG!ile GUAM
tity of books, and bringing all books within
reach by raising or lowering the shelves

RIVER RISING AT ST. PAUL
Fear That the Danger Line Will
Soon BE Reached.

st. Paul, Minn., March 27.-The Mis-
sissippl river was ninefeet twoinches above
low water mark last evening, and the ice
was beginning TO break away from the
shores. 1t is expected the danger line
ten feet-will soon be reached. 1t is also
fearedthat gorge willform-at Lake Pepin.
A week ago the water in the river reg
istered only two feet seven inches. Since
then the increase has averaged one foot q
day.
Many OF the factories in West St Paul
are menaced. Eleven feet of water VIII
swamp many of the Easements OF the ma
chinery in some OF the West Side factories.
1t is estimated that nearly 1000 persons
are living on the lowlands along the river
bank and one foot and a half more In the
river will flood the homes of nearly allof
them.

james Quinlaa's Left Leg Badly
Laceratod by a Collie.

James Quinlan, residiag ga No. l 517 Sixth
street northwest, was walking on the Bal
timore and Potomac tracks near Benning
station about 6 O'Clock this morning, when
he was attacked by a vicious collie dog
and sustained a painful and dangerous
laceration of the left leg.
According to the lads story, he started
out with the intention of going to the
race track, for the purpose of getting a
job at driving When about a quarter Of
a mile beyond Benning he ran quickly off
the tracks to escape a passing train, the
dog sprang a { him, and fastening its fangs
in the calf OF his left leg, threw hiIi heavily
to the ground.
The enraged animal then sprang on the
lads body, and was with the greatest diff
ficulty beaten off by some trackmen whom
the lads cries had attracted, and who
FASTENED TO his assistance.
Qunlan was carried TO Benning station
and placed on the $40 accommodation for
this city, and on his arrival was at once
conveyed TO the Emergency Hospital, where
his injuries were dressed by DR.. Hooe.
There is a large gaping wound on either
side of the leg, where the beasts teeth
penetrated. and the entire calf of the leg
is almost severed from the bone. DR..
Hooe says it is one of the severest cases Of
dog bite that has ever come under his
notice; but he thinks that with the proper
attention the leg will be as well as everin
a few days.
The boy bore the treatment, which in
the nature of the case was necessarily
severe, like a hero, and after resting quietly
for an hour was taken to his home.
The dog is the property of man named
Wilson, living near Benning, and has never
been known to attack anybody before to-
day. 1t has shown no traces OF madness,
and the physician has no fear of hydro
phobia in young Quinlan's S case.

SKYSCRAPER TO Be BUILT
Big Structure for Offices at Four
teenth and + Streets.
Fabulous Prices Offered for the
Ground to the Late j. c. willard,
But Always Refused.

The large vacant lot at the corner OF
Fourteenth and F streets, almost the last
on the business part Of F street. will coon
be occupied by fine office building, as
told in The Times recently. The lot has
been the property of the late j. {. Willard
for many years, and isimmensely valuable.
During the life Of Joseph c. Willard there
was much speculation as to why the lot
was never improved. tits said that many
propositions were made to him to sell or 10
build, but that he steadily refused them
all, though some of the prices offered him
were almost fabulous.
At one time Mr.. willard was approached
by syndicate OF business men, whose COM
bined fortunes amounted TO millions. and
who desired TO erect an office building.
This syndicate offered $77 a foot for the
lot, which would aggregate about $780,
600. IL is said that Mr.. Willard replied
to this proposition that il the offer were
made a million he might consider it. This
price of ST. would have been the largest
ever paid for District real estate 10y IA good
many dollars.
At another time Mr.. Willard received a
man in his office, who began TO bid In
creasng sums against his cold refusals and
at last, perhaps by way of joke, offered
to cover the property with silver dollars.
''All right" said the old millionaire,
''if you viii put them on edgewise."
Suggestions are offered, too, for Mr..
Willard's reasons. 1t is probable, OF
course, that he knew his property WAS
imme~sa-ly valuable, and would increase
from gear to year, and simply desired TO
wait. 1t is said, however, that he had
great fondneSS for the little Italian fruit
vender, who has a stand IN one corner of
the property, and did not wish TO rob
him Of such a good site for his business.
This the fruit man does not know, though
be says that MI Willard was a fine land
lord
The exact nature OF the building now
to be erected on the lot has not yet been
decided on by the present Mr.. Joseph Viii
lard. He is in consultation with his archi
tect, W Bruce Gray, over various plans.
one is for a building much like the Allan
tic, but several stories higher. Several
sketches have been submitted by Mr.. Gray.
No permit has vet been issued by the build
ing inspector, OF applied for, as no deci
sion Las vet been reached by Mr.. Willard.
1t is probable that the Western Union
will occupy part of the new building.

Colby and Miller's Case.

Chief Justice Bingham today suspended
sentence in the case OF Col. John c. s.
Colby aud Thomas Miller, convicted OF
keeping a poker room and of playing

ready been severely punished by the loss
Of his office and the disgrace of the con-
viction The court required each of the
men to give a bond of $500 to present them
selves In court whenever cited to appear,
which will only he when either of them
again violates the law. The bond was
given.

A HUSBANDS SENSE OF HUMoR.
Locked His Wife in Bureau Drawer
Just for Fnn.

Paterson, N. j., March 27.-Mrs. John
Vanderstadt appeared before Justice Levy
and asked him to summon her husband and
warn him to treat her properly. She COM
planned that her husband, when lie felt
like it, would seize her and place iler in
a large bureau drawer. He had bored holes
in the back Of the bureau to allow the
passage of air, and when he put his wife
In the drawer he would lock it, keeping her
there in some instances as long as five
hours.
Mrs. Vanderstadt said lie was not of a
quarrelsome nature, and that he looked
upon the affair as joke. When Wander
stadt appeared before the Justice he prom
.sed not to repeat his performance, and as
his wife did not want him punished he was
allowed to go.

Mr. Miller came home. Rupert believ-
ing Mrs Miller wanted the money, gave it
to Stewart. The note was forgery, and
Stewart was arrested and convicted. Chief
Justice Bingham sentenced him today to
q term of two years at the New Jersey
State prison.

FIRE LADDIEs COMMENDED.
Praise for Their Efficient Work at

Chief Joseph Paris, of the fire depart

gratulatory letter from Mitchell & Reed,
supply dealers, at No. POI Eleventh street
northeast:
I'VE wish to tender you and your fire
men our sincere thanks for the admirable
manner in which you handled the fire in
alley, between Seventh and Eighth, 6
and II streets northeast, which occurred
yesterday. We had stored in our stable
two carloads of cement. The fire burned
the roof and large doors, but there was So
much care and consideration used tsg the
siremen that not one drop of water reached
our cement. We do not know how they
accomplished it. We feel that such skill
and discipline should be commended. We
extend our congratulations to YOU and your
splendid department.

A female, who name is not known,
was around Huntingburg Friday
and Saturday in search of work.
Not finding it she committed suicide
by going out on the main r. r.
track from the city Saturday night,
and pulling up lot Of long grass,
lay down and covered herself with
the grass. She laid her head on
the track and the midnight train ran
OVERT, leaving nothing but the head
less body. Next morning the train
going to Louisville ran over her
again, but they saw her. They re-
turned to Huntingburg with the
body and it lay in a box all day in
the depot ware room. The remains
were buried at 7 o'clock in the
evening. 1t is supposed that she
was insane.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
What To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge 90
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fullfils every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part Of the urinary passages. II
corrects inability to hold urine, and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleas-
ant necessity OF being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root il soon re-
allied. 1t stands the highest for it's
wonderful cures Of the most distressing
cases. II you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by druggists !;
price fifty cents and one dolln. You
may have sample bottle and pamphlet
both sent free by mail Mention The
COURIER and send your address to DR..
kilmer X Co.. Binghamton, N, Y. The
proprietor OF this paper guarantees the
genuineness of this offer.

pS-The Huntingburg people pay
- day to man to work to estab-

looks little odd To outsiders that
one farmer should balk the entire as
ISOLATION and all their enterprise.

ference that their agent "floated'
too much to inspire confidence. "
Try again, gentlemen. 1t would be
a big help to the entire county if a

Its appearance the beets should be

There has been a strong effort on
the part of farmers to secure beet
seed this year, and it is hoped that
those who did secure and plant seed
will give the crop such attention as
to obtain the most favorable result
that the season will permit. Both
farmers and capitalists are turning
attention to the beet sugar question,
in the hope of finding profitable
field for work. This years result
will be very carefully watched by
both. Every properly conducted
test becomes Of additional value and
every test in which the work is ne.
elected is not merely worthless, it
is positive injury to the agricul-
tural interests of the state.
