of honest perplexity, and yet belief.
"You ought to have had sense enough
to know I should be glad TO send TO town
for anything Mrs. Walton needed" said
Lambert. why didn't Riggs ask per-
mission?-or why didn't you?"
Murphy was certainly frank. "Sure
we both knew it would be anybody but
Riggs the lieutenant would send. We
were guilty enough of going to town

it was charity, not thavin', sorr, that

"You may send Murphy back, ser

Riggs can tell his story. OF course"
said Lambert, as the Irishman was
led away, "if there's anything in this
story about the stranger, it helps their
case materially. There was certainly
something queer about the agitated
words Mrs. Walton used just before we
came away-words about their testi-
mony and preventing court-martial.
You heard, did you not?"
"Yes, sir-a little, anyway"

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
4 Decrease In the Number of Fatnlf-
ties Last Year.

ties Last Year.
The record of railway accidents print
ed every year in the Railroad Gazette
shows a decrease of fatalities in 1896
and also demonstrates again how safe
a traveller really is on a modern rail
way train. For instance, 126 passengers
were killed last year, but the train mile
age was S34, 200, 900. This means that
on the average passenger can travel
over 100000 miles before being killed
in railway accident; or, to put it in
another way, he can travel back and
forth between New York and San
Francisco as frequently as the train
win carry him about 80 years before his
fatal accident is due
1t appears from the same authority
that about one-quarter as many per.
sons were killed by street car accidents
last year as by disaster on the steam
roads. There are no data at hand fo1
comparing the two modes of travel
but it seems probable that the steam
roads are considerably safer than the
trolley cars If the distance travelled be
taken into account The figures do not
show how many of those set down as
killed by trolley car accidents were
passengers and how many innocent pc
destrians who failed to get out of the
way in time. 1t hardly seems as if the
latter could be included, for the total
given for three years for the whole
country is only about equal to the list
of those known to have been killed
by the trolley cars in the city of Brook
lyn in that time

FURNISH COLLAR BUTTONS.
Modern Lnundries Damage the street
Vendors Business.


Vendors business.
Modern methods in at least one Line
swipe at the sidewalk merchant who pa
tiently stands for hours on downtown
corner trying to sell collar and shirt
buttons. Nobody ever thinks ofbuying
any buttons from the lucl<less man, be-
cause everyone who patronizes laun'
dry gets buttons for nothing, and in
the course of few months lays them
up by the gross, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Some time ago when shirt came from
the laundry it had beside the grease
from the ironing machine and the ink
from the markers table, two pins thrust
desperately through the stretched linen
holding the bosom and back of the gar
ment in place. There are no more pins
sent home with shirts Some bright
laundlynan started a new era by fur
nishing small metal buttons, which are
slipped into all the button holes of the
shirt, causing il to hold its shape per
fectly. The other laundrymen were not
slow to follow, and now half the men
on the street wear these little charity
buttons for shirt studs They are made
of lead or some similar soft metal and
evidently do not cost much, for shirts
arc done up cheaper and done up more,
by the way, than they were when the
humble but serviceable pins were used.
So therefore the patient street sales
man finds n slow market with u down
ward tendency for his collar buttons

STATES THAT PRODUCE STONE.
Vermont Leads ia Marble and Maine
I.rnnIdI-


I'm Granite.
Some facts of an instructive nature re
lating to the stone industry are fur
nished by Mr.. Day in the annual report
of the United States geographical sur
yey. 1t appears from this that certain
of the southern states are gradually
coming into prominence as extensive
producers of stone, and also that the
sorts OF stone quarried have been mod.
ified of late years. An instance in point
is TO be found in Alabaua, which in
1895 furnished more than $3.50, ,000, ,00C
worth of stone, mostly limestone, al.
though some sandstone is worked there.
a similar Illustration is presented by
Connecticut, which once divided the
sandstone yicid with New Jersey, but
produced last year little more sandstone
than Massachusetts, while New Jersey
showed only one-third as much as Con-
necticut, and little more than Kansas
or Michigan; and Pennsylvania, un
known a few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded product in 1895
equal to Connecticut and New
Jersey combined, and more than
any other state than Ohio. Ii
granite production Massachusetts keeps
the first place, with Maine not far off
while Vermont is rapidly overtaking
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from its splendid quarries in and
about Westerly to onearly 81 ,O0o, ,oo0wortt

the list, with about half as much. II
