ELLIOTT HAS A COOL HEAD.
HOW THE MOTORMAN SAVED
A BOYS LIFE.
While Others Stood and Screamed
With Horror, He Acted
Promptly.

Every extra street car in the city
was put on the run between the rail-
road depot and Oak Park on Monday
afternoon, and often as many as a half
dozen occupied the main track and the
switch at the Oak Park end
Thomas L. Elliott, the motorman
took his car to the park late in the af-
ternoon, and pulling into the termi-
nus halted about six feet behind car
which had preceded him. Hundreds
of people swarmed around the cars,
and desiring to move his car up the
conductor in charge of the car stand
ing before that which Elliott had en-
gineered in, gave his motorman the sig
nal to go ahead. But from some cause
the motOrman reversed his power, and
the car started backward
Between the moving car and the one
on which Elliott stood We're number
of people among whom was a boy ap-
parently ten years of age The little
fellow lost his head, and instead of
clearing the track, he placed both
hands against the bumpers of the re-
versed car in a vain endeavor to stop
it. Several hundred people screamed
as the boys back neared the bumper of
Elliotts car, but no one made a move
to avert the impending accident.
With Elliott, however, it was differ
ent. He is noted for having the cool
est head of any man on the line, and
while five hundred people were scream
ing he was acting. Far out over the
dashboard he leaned and then his
strong hands closed upon the boys
shoulders. Every muscle was called
into play and the boy arose from b,
! tween the iron draWheads like a shot
from a gun, and was safe
Elliott was on time. The fifth part of
a second longer and the boys breast
would have been f1attened out between
the bumpers
Elliott has been with the street car
company ever since the present line
has been built, and by his coolness at
critical moments he has saved a num-
Der of lives. A notable example of
this occurred at Tenth and N streets
last Decoration Day. Elliott's car was
bowling along, and coming toward him
were bicyclist and a dog, engaged in
game Of dodge. Elliott snuffed dan
ger and shut off the current. His
action was well timed for when within
twenty feet of the car the dog sue
ceeded in getting under the wheel. and
both rider and machine tumbled on
the track. The car stopped with the
wheel under the platform and it's rider
against the beam. The wheel was
hauled out, and the owner mounted 1t
and rode off without even thanking the
cool-headed motorman.

A Great Standard Work Upon the
Worlds Literature.

W
Charles Dudley Warmers Library of
the Worlds Best Literature" will be
eagerly welcomed in the home where
the training of the young in the direc
tion of right-reading and consequent
ight-thinking is a constant response
| bility; it will also be heartily appreci
ated by those who make literature what
Huxley declares it to be, the greatest
source of refined pleasure; and it will
be esteemed by the student who aims
to become thoroughly acquainted with
the styles of different writers and
speakers and the literatures of differ
ent nations and periods.
To read all the books of the world is
of course impossible; and would be, to
certain extent, profitless, and the
problem of selection thus becoUoe a
serious one. To know what to read and
to have read 1t; to be able to say to
another, pass this by; Read this if
time and inclination serve; Read this
from first to last" argues a high de-
gree of literary culture.
1t takes well nigh a lifetime of read
ing and study to acquire the ability to
wisely discriminate in literature, and it
is to those whose lives have been thus
devoted to books, that the preparation
of "A Library of the Worlds Best Lit
erature," has been entrusted.
This great work is made for both
practical use and literary enjoyment. 1t
is not only a library of reference but a
library to be read. 1t affords a gen.
eral view of literature from remote an
tiquity to the present time, and con-
tains the brightest and best reading
from the brightest and best writer's,
speakers and thinkers of all ages, ma
tions and periods. 1t treats every i'm
portant literary subject which the
minds of men have considered for the
past thirty centuries and presents the
best and most representative specimens
of every class of literary quality as ex-
pressed in poetry, prose, history, biog-
raphy, oratory, essays, romance, sci
ence, philosophy, theology, etc, en-
bodying every sentiment, grave and
gay.
1t embodies not only the best litera-
ture of the world, but also gives a.
comprehensive and connected history
of the different literatures of the world
it is history of literat ture as well as
compendium and encyclopedia of lit
erature.

TO KILL THE GAR.
Prisoner Charged With Promoting
RegiCide in Russia,

London, Dec. 23.-Vladmer BourtZeff,
editor of the Marc do Voletz, (Wil of the
People,) the Russian who was arrested at
the British Museum and remanded at
Bow street police court on December 16.
charged with endeavoIing to persuade
several persons on various occasions to
assassinate the Car, was brought up on
remand to-day, in company with the man
named Weirzbecki, printer of the paper
mentioned, who had subsequently been
arrested. An discriminating article in the
Marc do Voletz WAS produced in court
In it the writer declared that the policy
OF the Russian revolutionists wac the
same as that of the terrorists of twenty
years ago, and pointed out that Car
Niche las had already reigned three wears
at n period when the revoiutonists' cam
paign ought to DE summed up in the
word "regicide." If he had been assassi-
mated on the day of the funeral of Car
Alexander III, the article continues, either
revolution would have broken out or n
liberal constitution would have been de-
clared. Each new autocrat, according TO
the writer, ought to ID, given year, and
If he did not grant constitution within
that period he ought to be attacked with
out pity.
Detective Melville testified regarding
his visit to Bourtzeff's room and the find
ing of documents relating to nihilism,
and assassination of Alexander II, the
debth of Stepniak and the present Car.
1t appears that BourtZeff escaped from
Siberia to Constantinople, where the
Russian police tried to seize him on
board British steamer, but the captain
of the vessel prevented them from so do
ing.

has one of the largest and most select
stocks to be found in the South, all mr..
ranged about the store in the most artis-
&c style The magnificent display of
Alladin lamps is q wonder in itself. Next
comes the various kinds CT imported
china in dinner, tea and breakfast sets,
among them those from Dresden, Lii
moges and Carlsbad being the most con-
spicuous. The English and American
stock is first class in all respects, espe-
ciaily the beautiful dinner sets, while the
latest patterns in cut, blown and pressed
glassware are sure to attract attention.
The ironstone china, uuadruple plated
siiverware, and the up-to-date jardnieres
also add much to the beauty and variety
of the collection. Bric-a- brac, bisuue fig
ufes, cuspidOres. onXy lamp tables, wine
sets, punch sets and lemonade sets, the
last named being of great delicacy In
make and coloring, at once excite atten.
ton and admiration, while the white

are beautiful in desigl and finish. The
supply OF Japanese, Italian, French,
Spanish and American vases is ample for
all demands, while the chldren's tea

Of the extensive wholesale and retail trade
which the company has long enjoyed.
Roanoke and the State of Virginia may

growing business, which is largely the
result of the personal energy .and enter
