HE WILL WIN HIS WAY.
a Coal Clerk Delivers y Load After
business Hours.
Boston Transcript

A good story is circulated among the
coal trade relative to the enterprise Of
an employee i'm the uptown Office of one
Of the principal coal-dealers in the city
The hero Of this story has charge Of the
Office, and was ready to close up the
establishment a few nights ago, when
the telephone bell rang, and one OF the
firms largest customers announced that
a load of coal must be delivered at his
Office that night. The employee tele-
phoned TO the wharf, and discovered
that no one was there except the night
Waterman. Nothing daunted. however,
the man went to the wharf and told the
Waterman that he must get out one Of
the teams and help load IT, and the clerk
himself agreed 10 deliver the coal.
The Waterman refused to assist. un-
less some member Of the firm authorized
this action, so the telephone was again
brought i'm use. and one Of the firm,
living i'm q suburban city. was called up
and told of the situation. Naturally he
approved OF his clerks eagerness to
please a good customer, and told him
to go ahead. Then came the amusing
part of the story. The clerk, with the
assistance of the Waterman, harnessed "A
horse into one of the smaller sized
wagons. and after loading il the hero
climbed up on the seat and began the,
TO him, perlous journey. 1t was neces-
sary TO drive up Washington street in
order TO deliver the coal at the proper
place, and the feelings OF the driver.
who thought he might meet some Of his
friends at any time. can be imagined
better than described. At this time Of
the day, Of course, the streets were fun
of electric-cars and pedestrians. and the
driver Of the coal team was kept In
state of terror most Of the time, for
fear he would meet with some kind OF
an accident.
When the place was reached the team
was backed up to the sidewalk in the
most approved style, and, after con-
siderable hard work, the wagon was
tipped up and its contents sent rushing
into the cellar of the building. After
this the young man calmly climbed into
the wagon and drove back through the
crowded streets TO the yards where he
stabbed the horse and went home, feel
ing that he had done a good piece OF
work.
While the friends OF this young man
are joking him about the affair. there is
not one OF them but admires the spirit
shown in trying to please a good custo-
mer, no matter what the cost.

Senator Elkns pronounces as absurd the
stories that he will oppose the coniirma-
ton of Mr.. McKenna as Justice of the
Supreme Court, and says that he thinks
highly of the Attorney-General. The sto-
Ties in circulation are to the effect that
because of the Attorney-GeneraPs decision
on section % of the tariff, Senator Elkins
had incurred a violent dislike for the
California man. This, the Senator says,
has not the slightest foundation.
Senator Elkins will see the President In
a few days. II is said. about the Charles
ton post-office. S. o. Petty is a candidate
for the Office to succeed Mrs. Kenna,
widow of Senator Kenna. He has the
endorsement of Representative Dorr. and
Senator Elllins is believed TO be support

said. there is a tender place in the heart
OF the Senator, which opposes the re-
moVal of Mrs. Kenna. number OF
Democratic senator's, including Messrs.
German and Jones. are said to have
asked the President as favor that Mrs.
Kenna be retained.

Hunting In England.
Ncndon SpectatorD


There is at present no sign that, as
has sometimes been forebod5d, the star
OF hunting Is on the wane in England.
Agricultural depression, it was feared,
straitening the farmers resources and
making it more necessary TO attend close
ly 90 business, would disincline him more
and more to have his fields ridden over
by strangers and his poultry devoured
by foxes; and II farmers, as a class,
were alienated. the mainstay Of hunting
would be gone 1t can only exist with
their surerance and good will. But,
though IL happens, perhaps, more often
than formerly, that a farmer warns the
hounds of his land, or barrcades his
fences with barbed-wire, the British
farmer, as q rule, is still what he always
has been-a keen lover OF sport, espe-
cially Of hunting. And he knows that in
many indirect ways he benefits by the
hunt. 1t increases the local demand for
hay and straw and fodder generally; IL
gives him opportunities for showing off
a likely young horse; II puts plenty OF
money into circulation I'm rural neigh
hOrhood; and, II any damage IS done to
his fences. or loss befall his poultry
yard, he is fairly sure Of compensation
He would rather probably. II the choice

Days and Months to Grow Longer
Boston Herald)

Professor G. II. Darwin lectured last
night In Huntington Hall TO n Lowell
Institute audience on the subject Of tides
In the earth He showed with the aid Of
diagrams that the fractional retardation
OF the earths revolution by the actions
Of the tides is to lengthen the period Of
the rotation of the earth, and at the
same time to lengthen the period OF the
moons rotation round the earth-that is
TO lengthen both the day and the month
But the lengthening of the day will be
much more rapid than the lengthening
of the month, and thus it will come about
that when the change has reached its
maximum the earth and the moon Vill
each revolve once in a period Of fifty-fiye
of our present days, the moon having al
ways the same face toward the earth.
A similar cycle of changes had been
gone through by moon and earth in the
past. There was once a time when the
moon revolved very near TO the earth's
surface. moon and earth going round
one another in from three to five hours.
The total period OF the change was esti-
mated al from 100000 to 100000 years.

Prison Reform
(The Danville Register.)

I
among other good things done during
the session of the Virginia Methodist
Conference in Danville the other day was
the adoption, with enthusiasm, OF the
report offered by the Committee on Pr
son Reform. - This subject is one that
deserves the active support Of the people
generally, and should be pushed until
favorable action is secured OK the part
Of those whose duty 1t is TO provide the
reforms sought. humanity ueindhuS
it."-Salem Times.
When it was proposed in the conference
TO raise a committee on prison Reform
we were inclined TO the views so ably
expressed by Rev. Or. Whitehead, VINO
in a strong speech opposed the appoint
ment of such committee on the ground
that prison reform came within the DO
main of civil government, and rellslous
body, as such, had nothing to do with
il.
However. he was overruled and he and
no one else can object TO the excellent
vigorous, but conservative report sub
mitted by the committee, Of which Pro-
fessor c. T.. Vawter was chairman.
This report, which was published III
full in the Register, goes TO the very
root of the matter and appeals to the
LEGISLATURE in the name OF humanity
and Christianity to take such action
as will prevent the Virginia penitentiary
from remaining a pesthouse and breed
er of hardened criminals, as 1t has been
for several years past.
The Virginia penitentiary Is In no
sense a reformatory, as II should De, anu
there is moo much evidence at hand that
when young convicts cross its portals
they enter a school for crime and leave
il worse criminals and more hardened
i'm crime than when they went there'
The crowded condition of the institution
and the bad sanitary arrangements FORBID
the hope of healthfulnes
prison Reform is certainly one or
the problems that will come before the
legislature for solution. The cry of hard
times and low finances should not pre-
vent it's proper solution. The profits
that have accrued. if no more, should
be expended in needed improvements.

LEGISLATORS HELD UP.
They Are Made to Surrender All
They Have.

CINCINNATI, O., November S0.-A spe-
cial to the Commercial Tribune from At
lanta, Ga, says: "a committee from the
State House Republicans, composed OF
some of the most prominent citizens in
thu State, was yesterday held up at Oke-
fnokee swamp, and forced TO give up
considerable sum of money. Among them
were Thomas Craig Burwell, Cannon
Boynton, and others. They were 10 visit
a convict camp in the swamp for the
purpose of inspection. They were put In
freight-car and hauled thirty-three miles
over a rough road TO the camp on the
return trip two men stopped the train
md demanded $50 fare from each of the
members, claiming to be officials of the
road. Under protest, the amount was
paid, but the train was stopped again.
and the bogus conductors returned and
demanded more money. They were given
all that there was in the party, and the
journey was completed.
