MRS. SMITH SERIOUS.
THE CHESTERTOWN WOMAN ON
WHOM AN ASSAULT WAS COM
MITTED IN A BAD WAY.

Chestertown, Nd, June 23.-Mrs. Will
liam Smith, who was assaulted by an
unknown negro man on Saturday. has
since suffered from an intense nervous
strain and was yesterday attended by a
physician, who also examined the
wound on the head. The doctors opin-
ion was that the slight wound over the
eye was not the most serious injury ro-
ceived. In his opinion, Mrs. Smith re-
ceived a wound on the temple which
may have rendered her unconscious for
fully an hour, and possibly for longer
time. Hicks and Castle, the negroes ar
rested upon suspicion. proved an alibi
and have been released. There have
been no new or important develop
ments in the case.
The sheriff went to Baltimore yes
terday and took charge of Emory Ford
colored, who was incarcerated at the
southern police station since his arrest
Saturday night. when the Tolchestei
steamer Louise reached her pier al
Light street.

MoRAvIAN VIEW OF DEATH.

A beautiful and Impressive Custom
of the lzoravians.
Clifford Howard contributes TO the
Ladies' Home Journal an interesting
article upon the Moravians of Bethle-
hem, Pa, and their religious customs:
upon the death of one of the con-
gregation," he writes, "the eveut is an
nounced, not by the monotonous,
mournful tolling of the bell, but
by the deep-breathing, melodions
music of trombones, played in the open
belfry steeple of the church by the
trombone choir; and as the deep, sweet
notes of the familiar hymn are borne
TO the people below they reverently
drop their work to listen. 'Iark!' they
whisper, the horns are blowing; some
one has gone homel' Gone homel'-
perhaps nothing more beautifully ex-
emplifies the perfect, unquestioning
faith of these devout people than that
expressive utterance, the sincerity OF
hich is ever demonstrated by the lack
of mourning at the passing away of O
member of the household, however
dearly beloved; so true and heartfelt is
the Moravian belief that death is but
the entrance to a brighter, happier
home. The trombones are also used al
the touching funeral services held al
the grave; and amid their sad, yet in
spring. strains the departed one is lait
to his eternal rest. On all occasions
whether of death or JOY, the trombonei
lend their sweet solemnity in fitting
breath. From the steeple they herald
the festival day of each of the choirs
and in all open-air services their mel
lifuous tones are ever present"

BEATING A RAILROAD.
And IL Was Done on the Roads own
Tariff at That.

Tariff at That.
1T is not often that a railroad can be
beaten on its own passenger tariff
sheet" said a salesman the other day,
according to the St. Louis Republic.
"But there is a vulnerable point once in
awhile, and the travelling man is not
slow to take advantage of it.
"Such an instance happens on the
Burlington road between Leavenworth,
Kan, and St. Joseph, Mo-, and is of al
most daily occurrence.
"The new man gets on the train at the
Kansas town and tells the conductor
that he wants to go to St. Joseph. The
conductor pulls 81 miles from the mile
age book-the scheduled distance
gives him a transfer ticket TO St. Joe,
and the new passenger takes up the fir
tation with the pretty girl just where
he left off and is satisfied. The old trav-
eler, however, tells the conductor that
he goes TO Atchison, and the railroad
representative pulls 81 miles, returning
his book with a transfer to Atchison via
Armour Junction. This is to compete
with the Missouri Pacific on the west
side of the river.
"At Armour Junction the traveller
changes his mind, remains on the ST
Joe train and gives the conductor II
miles. the scheduled distance to tn,
Missouri city. He has complied with al
the requirements of the passenger tariff
and yet is ahead just 13 miles"

MADE MISERABLE hY nIs.e
This Conductor Has Good Reason to
BE Superstitious.

=
De Superstitious.
No more firm believer in the proven
bial bad luck associated with the num-
ber 10 is to be found in the city than
Conductor Samuel Sharp, of German
town local train, says the Philadelphia
Record. His parents had 10 children, of
whom he was the youngest, and nons of
them ever prospered. As the thirteenth
child, however, Samuel has had more
troubles than any Of his brothers and
sisters. After countless mishaps dur
ing his school days he started in TO earn
his living as a newsboy on the cars
when he was 10 years Of age. One Fri
dav, the 18th day of the month, not
long after he entered the service, there
was a wreck on the road and he was
laid up in a hospital with a couple of
broken ribs for 10 weeks.
Some years later, when a brakeman,
his uncle died and left him $1,000, but
Just as he was about TO get married on
the money the bank failed and he lost
il all, feeling, of course, more disap-
pointed than If it had never been left to
him. Gradually he worked his way up
and became baggage master, and then
he did marry. Unwittingly, however,
he went to housekeeping at 1913 South
/ Thirteenth street and his young wife
died within the year, leaving him brok-
en-hearted. Since he has been conduc.
tor his train has run over 13 men and
he hopes that he has now reached the
limit. It is an utter impossibility tc
get him to punch the 18th trip on com.
mutation ticket, and when hard pressed
he hands his punch to the passenger
with the request to do it for him.

Vitality of Cats.

It's an old saying that "a cat has
nine lives" and, like most old say
ings, not supposed to have any truth
in it, but from recent Investigations
it really seems that cat can hold
on to life under circumstances where
any other creature would die. A
cats life may be proved to be at the
least three times the worth of a
dogs. Put cat and dog of the
same age in a ''lethal chamber. I"
The cat will always outlive the dog.
On one occasion it was noticed the
dog was dead in 5 minutes and
the cat still breathing 40 minutes
later. A cat has been known to re-
cover after two hours immersion in
cold water, and another came back
to life eight hours after apparent
death from a dose of prussic acid

SALARIES TO BE CUT.
The sub-Collector of This Port May Get
Less Money.

1t is not unlikely that some of the
deputy collector of customs in the Mil
waukee district may have their rates of
remuneration reduced. There are eight
sub ports in the Milwaukee district.
The names of each with the amount of
the remuneration paid to deputies are
as follows: Sheboygan, $500 year;
Sturgeon Bay, $500 year; Green Bay,
$500 year; Kewaunee, $3.50 year;
Racine. $1.15 day; Marinette, ST. a
day; Manitowoc, 80 cents day; Ke-
nosha, 45 cents a day. Where the
salary is computed by the day, the pay
is for the entire year.
Collector Roberts has had his atten-
ton called to the matter of the salaries
paid in each of these supports, and it
has been suggested by an inspector
from the treasury department in Wash
ington that the pay of some of the dep
uties is higher than the business of the
Office would justify. A. A. Riel is the
collector here.

VESSEL IN TROUBLE.
Schooner Hackley Dismantled OF Kenosha
Thursday,

The schooner G. II. Hackley ran
back to Chicago Thursday afternoon
with two topmasts and jibboom on
deck as a result of encountering a
heavy sea between Racine and Keno
sha.
The Hackley had left port without
cargo Wednesday evening. There was
some sea and wind enough to keep
the topsails furled. Everything went
we'll until off Kenosha, when a partic-
ularly large sea was struck.
The schooner jumped and the mar
tingale stays parted, causing the jib-
boom to break off short. This left up
the stays to the foretopmast, which
was rotten at the cap, and that went
over the side. The mizzen topmast
followed the foretopmast over the side.
The lower masts remained solid and
the schooner was quickly put before
the wind. Temporary repairs were
made and the schooner sailed right up
to the entrance of the harDor before a
tug took her line. Racine Journal.

FRUIT COMES HIGH.
An. Advance in Price over Last Year in
the Home Market.

Those persons who wish to have the
pleasure of munching an apple or eat
ing other fruit will find that the privi-
lege costs them a little in excess of
what it did last year and that their
fruit carnivals make hole in their
pocketbooks. This also applies to the
thrifty housekeeper who is ever on the
alert for a bargain. But the quality
will, in general, be found to be better
than usual. Peaches, apples, plums,
prunes and pears are not as plentiful
as last year; grapes about as usual,
and melons plenty.
The peach, fruit which is uni
versal favorite and is very largely used
for canning purposes, will be of good
quality, but the crop is short all over
the country and especially in the east,
where the Delaware crop is complete
failure, and the large demand for
western peaches occasioned thereby
has stiffened the price up to the high
est notch that it has reached in years.
1t is not expected that the apple crop
will equal any more thar half of last
years yield. The rule of better quail
ity and higher prices will also prevail
in this case.
Of all California fruits there are
good crops and they are bringing good
prices, being in some instances one
half more than last year.
Grapes are of the finest quality. The
crops are about the same. Of one kind
of fruit, however, there is no scarcity.
That is the musk and water melon.
These are plentiful and the prices asked
at times seem ridiculous. The quality
of the melons now on the market is
excellent and the poor can enjoy a
most refreshing and delicious bit of
fruit at a minimum cost.
The potato crop is fair and good
prices are the rule. Of all vegetables
there will be good crops and the quail
tiles will probably be better than ex-
pected. Prices on everything are
higher than they were last year and
merchants say that they will continue
to rise.

THE LIBRARY NEEDS MONEY.
Chester Barnes Will Call on You to Solicit
Your subscription

Your subscription
Chester Barnes has been appointed
the representative of the public library
board for the purpose of raising sub
scrlptions for carrying on the work of
the library. AS strange as it may
seem, with all the great benefits Keno
sha is getting out of the library, the
people are not supporting it with their
money as it should be supported.
Membership fees cost but So apiece,
and yet there has been less than $50
raised this year toward keeping up
that membership. The people must
do better than this or the library will
have to be closed for lack of funds.
This announcement is made so that all
will be ready to meet Mr.. Barnes with
a membership fee or more. The pub
lie must not get the idea that because
a couple of large subscriptions have
been made their duty in the matter
ends. The gentlemen who have been
generous enough to make these sub
scriptions cannot and will not do any
more unless they can be sure that the
public is going to take proper finan-
cial interest in the institution. Then
the sums these gentlemen have given
are not of themselves sufficient to
carry on the work of the library, with
two necessary salaries, rent, fuel, in
surance to pay, and books to buy.
The public should look at this matter
in plain. business like way, and do
something about it. Don't let the
library drop. Meet Mr.. Barnes in the
proper spirit and do all the circum-
stances will permit.

Will Buy the Sweeper.

The city authorities will undoubtedly
buy the street sweeper at the end of
the first year of the contract, which
will DE November 4 next. The con-
tract runs for four years longer, but the
city has the privilege of buying the
sweeper at the end of any year during
the life of the contract. Some of the
aldermen think that if the city owns
the sweeper about $40 per week can be
saved to the city, although they admit
that the work at present is being done
considerably cheaper than ever before.

The "blue gum negro is rare,
but he invariably represents the
most depraved qualities of his race.
He has light blue gums and short
teeth, and there is a well grounded
superstition among the negroes that
a bite from such a person is as poi
sonous as that of rattlesnake. In a

man always bites. It was Jefferson
