Station Agent, While Asleep, Makes
Tn and Flags "a Train.

Custer City, Pa, Sept. S.-If Bernard
Cohen, day station agent at this place, felt
so disposed, he could work both watches
without Inconvenience to himself. Monday
night Mr. Cohen walked forth In his sleep
switched a freight train through, side
tracked another for passenger train, AM
was still snoring softly when the train
hands aroused Bernard from his somnambu-
listiC trance. Thereupon the day agent
blew out his lantern and fastened back
hume.
Conen lives only a short distance from the
station, where his duties keep him busy.
Shortly before midnight Cohen fell to rail
roacing with great vigor In his sleep. He
dreamed that a collision was about u occur
So ne jumped out OF bed, lighted his lantern
and hurried L. the station. Agent Wilson,
the man on the night job, saw Cohen ccnl-
ing, but supposed he was unable to sleep on
accounto OF the heat, and had decided 10 help
oct with the work.
When the freight train came along Cohen,
still, wrapped in peaceful slumber, cut out
hai' dozen empty box-cars and switched
in a few loaded ones. Then he sidctracked
another freight for the passenger, and when
The latter train stopped, the dreamer moved
swiftly down the line, humping the coach
wheels with long handled hammer.
AS this task is only performed in winter,
Wilson suspected wrong. Hauling
Cohen To an upright position, Wilson flash
ed his lantern In the face of the sleeper. 4
vigorous shake awoke Cohen, and he ceased
his xylophone solo Oh the car wheels. the
noise of which had awakened the Pullman
passengers.

And Now, Bicycle Gun.

A suggestion worthy of consideration,
especially by women who go in for some
thing more than 'sbow riding in the
park, is made 10y an English bicyclist. He
remarks that, in view of the numerous
cowardly attacks which have been made
ON women cyclists in the country high
ways, it would be well to provide them
selves with an ammonia gun. n recent in
vention which has probably sprung ur,
as such things do, simultaneously with
the demand. A charge of ammonia in
the face can scarcely be construed, even
by the most foolhardy into an invita-
ton to come on I'm any bNt the most
sarcastic sense, and would speedily de-
mclish the hopes of the budding highw ay-
man.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1897.

As anyone might have expected, the de-
velupment or local yellow fever epidemic
at Ocean Springs, Miss, has resulted in
considerable scare throughout the extreme
Southern states. The place where the
trouble originated has been placed under
rigid quarantine, and some few points have
qcaraatineG against New Orleans, where
une death, that OF a man from Ocean
Strings, is reported Surgeon General Wy
man uf tie Marine Hospital Service is
quoted as stating that he considers the
situation serious, but within the resources
of the communities interested TO put under
contiol and TO prevent a general spread.
As we remarked yesterday the chances are
much better than they would BE- earlier in
the season Cool weather is not a great
way off, and frost will end matters. In
spite of all this, there is a possibility that
tie occurrence OF isolated cases here and
there throughout the Gulf states, develop
Ing from people who have been exposed az
Ocean Springs, might produce such a con
clifton OF distrust and fear as seriously TO
destroy trade chances in large region for
the autumn. There fore, it greatly is 20 be
hoped that the efforts of the authorities
to nip tie epidemic I'm the bud, may be
successful

A Pnsfer Tragedy.

a purple moment of bright blue bliss
Was mine, oh, green-haired maid,
Wien from yuar lips a yellow kiss
] sipped in the dark-red shade.
The ecru E1oon hung on a tree;
We sat by vertical brook;
You were a-laughing In olivepink glee,
And reading the edge of book.
And 1 was singing a lavender song,
Specified and mingled with blue;
But l stopped for moment, perhaps MOTT
long,
And kissed you; took perhaps two.
By the red hills topped with golden snow,
BY the trees tearing holes in the sky,
/ swore the red world would overthrow
For your love, or lie down and die.
But away from my vowing was rudely
snatchcd
And thrust far, far from you;
The color 1 Wore with the landscape
matched,
And that would, alasl never do.
And now among the blue lilies afloat,
On sea of brown and red,
1 sit on the edge of an olive-green boat
And hold my peargreen head.

II possible for New York 10 stand two re-

will look over the ground before reaching

he will discern that Tamraany's real chance
lies in declaring for the Chicago platform,
bimetallism and all the true gospe! Of the

citizen Of high character and reputation

Not little public curiosity is excited
by the persistency with which Mr.. Nc
Kinlev assures people that the partial
prosperity growing out Of the wheat boom

what does he mean by it? Nothing is
palmer than that Mr. Mckinley knows that
better times for the farmers, based on
foreign crop failures, win not outiast
tie return of normal conditions in CON-
peting countries. 1t is nearly as certain
that lac knows and recognizes the futility

the basis OF gold contraction. Whatever
policy nay have been imposed upon Mr..
Mckinley by Hanna and Wall street, in

study, with the result that before be

what does he mean? Is il possible that in
his minds eve he sees a war with Spain,

us prosperity thereby? There is no telling
what pleasant surprise Mr.. Mckinley may
have in store for us. Nevertheless, TO be

ANXIETY IN HAWAII.
Fate of the Annexation Treaty a
Subject OF Disc ussiop.

New York. Sept. S.-Advices to the
Herald, dated Honolulu, August 20, say
little proverb that there is always acalrn
before a storm should be an indication OF
what is to happen here. the Hawaiian re-
public Is about to experience q cyclone
The islands are so quiet, SO contented, SO
prosperous, that it is difficult to imagine
now the citizens would act IL they should
be stirred by events that might seriously
affect their lives.
Only i'm tie inner circles OF the govern
ment is there tendency to worry over the
future. I violate no condolences In say
ing that the leaders, In the existing govern
ment party do not look forward with hearts
as light as those OF the people in general.
One of these gentlemen II man holding no
official place. said TO me few days ago.

have been here tn at most OF theinhabitants
of Honolulu look upon annexation as GER

Japan is showing renewed evidence OF
determination to haul the Hawaiian ques-
tion within the range of European inter
ference and control In accepting the Ha-
waiian proposal of arbitration as gen
eral proposition, Japan insists upon certain
linitations and qualifications. The first
of these ought TO terminate the negotia-
tions, and Immediately bring orders from
washiu gton for the hosting of the ArGeri-
can flag in Honolulu. Japan, in short,
proposes that the two Parties shall unite
in requesting King Leopold of Belgium TO
act as sole arbiter. II Hawaii were
without a powerful friend and not under
the protection of the United States, this
would be a grim and CHASTITY joke. King
Leopold who personally is as honest a
man as the late Boss Tweed ever dared
10 be, ua fortunately is one of the principal
proprietors in a new European and jap
anese trading company, one of whose pur-
poses is commercial and perhaps other adj
venture in the neighborhood or the Hd
waiian Islands. The improperly, Ohere-
fore, of his accepting the position suggested
by japan would he obvious To ever ybody
but himself. the British interests and diplo-
macy concealed behind him, and, of course,
the MI ado. But it ought to be so unpleas

The opinion gains ground that the miners
convention at Columbus, Ohio, today will
declare the strike off, and that general
actisity willie resumed next week through
oct the coal fields. The delegates from
the Pntsburg district have been authorized
30 use their discretion, and TO work for
the best wage rate they can get. This is
interpreted to mean that their constituents
are willing 70 accept the 65-cent rate

peace on the 65-cent basis is better than
what they had before, and the half loaf,
with winter coming on, is better perhaps
than no bread. Again, IL we consider the
interests os law and order, a settlement
now would be none too soon. Up 10 nearly
the present time, the self-repressiou of the

property of the corporation. The right To
priority of payment for property and ser
vices necessary TO the operation OF the rail-
road as a going concern would seem TO arise
from primary and paramount duty, owing

going concern found in the law of its crea-

ties due TO the State by the law of its crea-

cldehtal and fortuitous, and their payment
cannot be regarded as necessary and in

contemplation OF the law. Hence il follows
that the petitioners claim is not entitled
