CRUSHED HIM.
The Young Lady Was willing to Pay
Regular Gotham Rates

Again are we called upon to chronicle the
infinite superiority Of the famous Washington
girl says the Washington Star.
This time she has transferred the field Of
her genius to New York city, where the people
think they know everything, and about a
thousand times as much more, and then some
more.
She had boarded street car up town. COM
ing out of a store with her gloves off for
some reason or other best known to herself
Possibly it was glove store. Whatever it was
she had her gloves off, and it was proper and
correct for her to have them off or she would
have had them on.
There were not more than eight to ten peo-
pie in the car and when she had taken q seat
she began to put her gloves on. When they
were both on she took out OF her pocketbook
a dainty little silver gloye-buttoner and pro-
ceeded to button that one on her left hand.
In doing so the buttoner slipped from her
fingers and fell to the floor Of the car.
Immediately a chappie-looking young man
with the Rock of Gibraltar in his face stopped
to pick the buttoner UP, and having got 1t
in his hands he rose, smiling and much to
her surprise, offered to button the glove.
For an instant she acted about as the aver
age girl would have done, and then the Wash
ingtonian genius came to her aid. and smiling
kindly, she held her hand out to him in COM
pliance with his request.
She sat perfectly unmoyed as he took about
twice as long to it as there any need Of
and soon as he had finished it she calmly
held out the other.
He didn't quite expect this, evidently but he
had his nerve with him, and more smiling than
ever, he took her hand in his and buttoned
the other glove.
Taking the button hook from his unresisting
fingers, she took out her pocketbook to replace
it, and finding in it a nickel, with the most
innocent manner in the world, she handed It
to the young man.
With all his nerve he couldn't stand this.
and he promptly returned it. at the same time
making some kind of a protest, which she
did not pay any attention to- but took the coin
back and proffered dime in its stead. This
he also returned with quite show of indig-
nation.
why" she exclaimed, with that same beau
tiful artlessness 81 never give more than 10
cents at home to nave my gloves buttoned."
: Everybody in the car heard her say 1t, Of
course, and before anybody had stopped laugh
ing the gallant young glove buttoner had ss-
capped from the car and disappeared.

PINE CITY, Mimi, April 1.-THE cat is out
of the bag, and the famous airship has been
investigated. The crew got out Of supplies
and anchored just east of the town Of
Chunqwatona DAM and came across to Pine
City for supplies.
The night passenger train which arrives
here at o'clock a.. M, pulled in just as the
aerial wonder settling down to earth.
Thomas ]. Burke, passenger who got off
here, was so excited that he rushed to Got
trys stable, ordered a team and started at
once for the point where the ship alighted.
While the tourists were at the Pioneer house
at Pine City laying in supplies. Mr.. Burke was
at Chunqwatona inspecting the curious Wis
itOr.
Tom says the thing is a very curious
invention, and a great improvement on the
jaunting article used in Ireland when he was
a boy.
Tom says the name on the car was "Pros-

inspected he found that 1t had been in the air

ONLY A LOCAL STORM.
Yesterdays Rain Will Have Little
Effect on the River

The rain of yesterday had little or no
effect on the river more than to check
the rate at which it was falling to q
slight extent. At o'clock yesterday
morning the government gauge reg
istered Ill feet and at o'clock last
night the gauge showed 1853 feet, a total
fall during the day Of 3 Of a foot.
Some little apprehension was appar-
ent among the river people yesterday
that the rain might cause the river to
go on another rampage, but the fears
were dispelled by Observer Lyons, Of
the weather bureau He said that the
rainfall up to 6 o'clock last night had
been but one-third Of an inch and that
1t was not covering any great amount
Of territory, so that it's effects would
hardly be noticed. He was also Of the
opinion that the rain would not con-
tinue for any great length Of time.

CHICAGO, April 12-The general commit
tee Of Western passenger agents, which was
to report to the meeting called for Wednes-
day, the proposed form for the new agree
ment has asked for more time and the meet
ing has been postponed until Wednesday Of
next week In accordance with their request.
The committee has found that the outlook
for it is greater by far than its members at
first supposed. The attorneys keep studying
the supreme court decision, and every few
days they announce that they have found
something more that the ruling Of the court
does not forbid and the passenger men hasten
to incorporate this in the new agreement. If
the attorneys keep up their discoveries much
longer the new agreement of the Western Pas
senger association is quite likely to have all
the features Of the old one and few addi-
tional ones of its own.
meeting of the executive committee of
the Western Passenger association was held
today for the purpose Of winding up the
expense accounts Of the old association and
making provision for meeting those of the
new organization which will be formally
launched in the next fortnight.

st. Paul, April r. 1897.
1t is an undecided question whether
the transposition of fifty three" into
"thirty-five," in the article referred to,
was a case of heterophemy, or was due
to the strain of German blood in the
veins of the writer that was supplying
his brain al that instant and made
fifty-three into funf- und-dreizig. The
writer is decidedly Of the opinion, how
ever, that the transposition is due to
one of the same causes operating on
the gentlemanly operator Of the limo
type upstairs. Anyhow, it should be
"ffty-three," as "Agassiz" was written
in 1874.

The Richmond State, IN referring to
the prospects of the ports Of Norfolk

true:
f Norfolk and Newport News are

Importance in foreign exports. With

both these points as Is now promised
by the Norfolk and Western estab-
fishing line from Lambert's Point,
Virginias ports will take high rank

ton pretty we'll when it says we twill

world" and The Virginian desires to add
that we are marching right along on
that line. In fact, there is no estimat-
Ing the commercial greatness Of these
ports in years to come. and from pres
ent indications it does not appear that it
IS going to take very great many
years before they. attain that high

As AN ENGLnsmnAN LOOKS ATT

a correspondent of the London Tele-
garph writing his paper from New York,
draws some strong conclusions regard
Ing certain conditions of American life,
and while all that he says may not be
entirely agreeable, yet very much that
he does say is true and is to be re-
GREETED. But hear him:
There is much in the social condi-
ton Of this great republic to cause real
anxiety. The gaps are too broad 1t is
said on good authority that the total
number Of rich families. despite the
great difference of population, is only
a little larger than in Britain, and their
aggregate wealth is less, and yet the
dlsparities OF condition excite here far
deeper feeling. But there is n reason
for this. In the United Kingdom the
law does not interfere to enrich the
town at the expense of the country, to
inpoverish the farm In order to aggran-
die the factory, to penaltze South and
west with the view of favoring the
North and East, to make wealthy the
manufacturer at the cost Of the consum-
er, whereas the law does step in
to lay the burden Of taxation on the
shoulders best able to bear 1t. Here
everything the poor man buys is made
dearer In order that some rich man may

United States. Trusts and tariff fleece
the people OF the rural districts and the
poor everywhere for the benefit of the
capitalists-and. so far as tariffs are
concerned, the next government and
Congress actually propose 20
make matters still worse. The
true inwardness Of the outcry
Is that it is a symptom Of how
deep there is sinking into the con
science of the American people, the
wrong that has been and is being per-
petrated. A loud cry will rise to heaven
by and by that the manufacture OF
millionaires by acts Of Congress and de.
lance Of law must cease
Without attempting to analyze these
criticisms it may not be out
OF place to repeat that very
much that this correspondent
has to say Is true. and especial
ly is such the fact in the reference
made to the dangers which may come
to this country from the continual
growth Of corporate wealth.

No crop makes so slight n drain upon
