A Railroader Who Annotated Steam,

Charles Stewart died recently at
the home of his son-in-law, Mr.. John
Hill, No. Ills Valley street. Mr..
Stewart was ninety-three years old,
and had the distinction Of driving the
first car over the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad when that road was COM
pleted to Ellicott City and before
steam power was used on the line.
Mr.. Stewart also had the honor of as
sisting in the laying of the cornerstone
of the railroad.
On the 22d Of May, 1880, the road
was opened to Ell;cott City, and on
that occasion Mr.. Stewart drove the
team which drew the first car, dis
tinotion Of which he was very proud.
When steam was introduced and the
railroad was pushed towards the West,
Mr.. Stewart was appointed to u posi-
ton at the company's stables, where
he acted as veterinary surgeon. He
continued in this position for forty
years., when he was retired by the
company. This was about fifteen
years go.-Baltimore Sun.

Gold Mine on q Bank Roof.

A committee Of expert employees of
Bhe Treasury Department ct Washing
ton is now at work at the local assay
office supervising the annual settle
ment of the accounts of the meter and
refner, B. T. Martin. D..
The work began with sweeping of
the assay Office roof, to get thereby
the stray particles of the precious
metals that might have escaped
through the chimneys. The furnaces
and Aues will be torn down, and the
vats, chimneys and floors will be
ecraped. The material thus obtained
will be put into crucibles and re-
duced.
Apropos Of this, occupants Of the
building at ~ Pine street, adjoining
the assay Office, complained recently
of certain fumes which, they said,
came from the institution. The fumes
were due to vapor from the gold stews
below escaping, and permission was
obtained from the banking house Of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., owners of the
building, to sweep the roof. An assay
of these sweepings showed gold at the
rate Of 5000 to the ton.-New York

The Power of Imagination.

Imagination is nearly always spoken
Of by the unthinking as a misty and
unimportant something, OF is regarded
As reprehensible. "Don't let your
imagination run away with you" is a
sentence which has chilled, if MOI
checked, the enthusiasm of most o.
US. But imagination is really the
MASTER builder of ones most satisfao
tory life-structure; and when it 'run.
away with" one, becomes the most
powerful dynamic in the world. What
does imagination mean? Imaging
building a thought-pattern, menta
model, an ideal. Nothing great was
ever achieved without enthusiasm,
declares Emerson. Imagination il
enthusiasm's vital principle, it's in
ward life, its kindling fire.
Imagination "ran away with" Peter
the Hermit, and across continent
tramped, with great loss and terrible
suffering, thousands Of people follow
ing an illiterate and hitherto unknown
man who had magnetized himself and
his followers by the thought-pattern
of the Christ tomb free from Moslem
possession. Carthage fell and Rome
became supreme because Imagination
"ran away with" Cato in picturing the
destruction of the African metropolis,
and kept his zeal at white heat till the
rival of the Eternal City was de-
molished. We have the electric tele'
graph and the submarine cable be-
cause imagination took the bits in he,
teeth and gave Samuel Morse and
Cyrus Field no rest till the world
revolutionizing messages were clicked
and flashed out in Ineligible language
We ride, and light our homes, and
cook our food by electricity because
imagination got on so unacceptable
canter with son.-Demcrest's Maya

''The dogs! The dogs!!'
The cry Of asonized apprehension
was simultaneous with the appearance
of man with disheyeled hair, distort-
ed features and the torture of fear in
his eyes, who ]eaped from tho arroyo
and dashed past with the speed Of the
wind. The horror Of the situation
struck me dumb and palsied my
nerves. The yelps Of the swift-ap.
preaching dogs beat on my ears like
the roar Of cannon, and the pressure
Of my brain was like that of man
drowning in forty fathoms of water. ]
tried to run, and million pains shot
through my limbs as though I had
been shocked by a powerful electric
battery. was only conscious of one
fact, and ,that was that I stood directly
in tie path of pack Of bloodhounds,
taught by instinct and training to tear
human bipeds to pieces: The knowl.
edge that they would only attack the
man they were delegated to hunt down
did not occur to me. It only came to
me when the pack dashed past in full
cry. The dogs paid no more attention
to me than if [ had been one of the
sage brushes Of the plains.
Strength and sensibility came back
as quickly as they had deserted me,
and I followed the dogs at top speed
to learn the fate of the fleeing convict.
A hundred-yard dash brought me in
sight Of the race track stables and
within hearing of chorus that made
my blood run cold. The dogs had
caught sight Of their game and were
yelping like pack Of hell-hounds; q
dozen horsemen and stable boys were
shouting at the dogs and trying to
turn them from the fugitive's track.
But terribly clear and distinct above
these sounds came the maddened
shrek Of the convict, who was plung-
ing in headlong fashion toward the
open door of one of the stables. It
was evident his strength was almost
gone, but he dashed through the stable
door and I heard the key turn in the
rusty lock while the dogs were still
several yards away.
The horror was still upon me when
the head of the convict appeared at
the open window ten feet above the
ground and, to my amazement, he
greeted the people and dogs below
with a jeering laugh. ''That was a
dead easy one, he said, stilllaughing.
II could have been here ten minutes
ago, but I wanted to give you fellows
a scare" The dogs recognized the
man they had been pursuing and made
frantic efforts to reach him. They
jumped toward the window, striking
against the side of the barn and fall
ing back, while they yelped and
howled in impotent rage, until the
foam streamed from their red chops.

Mexicans Must Serve in War.

Mexico has adopted the theory that
every citizen is bound to defend the
soil. tho interests and the honor Of his
country as soldier. Thus in future
a wealthy Mexican will have to serve
in the army, at least in case of war, as
we'll as poor one. The Constitution
has to be amended for this purpose,
but there is little doubt that all the
States of the great Central American
federation will give their consent.
