HE WAS DISAPPOINTED.
The Reward of HIS HerOism Did Not
Quite Satisfy Him.

The horse came tearing madly down
the street. The coachman had jumped
to save his life, and the beautiful girl
inside the coupe screamed for help.
Suddenly the man from Boston dart
ed out in front of the wild-eyed steed.
1t seemed suicidal; but upon the brave
fellows face was a look Of determina-
tion that would have been the glory of
a knight of old.
Bracing himself up for the shock, he
awaited the opportunity that Provi-
dence seemed to have intended him for,
and the people upon the sidewalks stood
breathless.
With a bound the frightened brute
was upon him. He clutched the reins,
and swung himself out of the way of
the beating hoofs. The coupe swerved
and was almost overturned. but righted
itself, and in moment the heroic deed
was accomplished. The trembling
steed stood still, the fainting girl was
lifted from her perilous position.
Where is he? Where is hep" she
cried, and her rescuer was pointed out.
Without waiting to be introduced, the
beautiful creature flung herself upon
his breast and cried:
"Oh, sir; you done noble!"
A deathly pallor overspread his face;
he tore away from her. and, as he gal
loped madly from the scene, muttered
Great heavens She's from Chicago.
oh that I had known it before I ruined
my 5O-cent pair of suspenders! But
that is what comes Of allowing ones
self to be swayed by impulse. ."-Cleve-
land Leader.

But order generally prevails.
one Of the Governors troop was given
three messages to be dispatched at
o'clock Sunday night. He went to the
park telegraph office and pounded on the
door for thirty minutes thinking that
the operator was asleep inside. The cause
of this persistent demonstration was that
that same cavalryman had n ten-mile
horseback ride before him if the operator
did not awaken. After thirty minutes a
meek-faced, spectacled youth came
along and finally admitted that he was
the ope iator. He hadn't been in the tow

messenger handed him the dispatches

OLCHEFSKI OBTAINS BAIL.

Leon Olchefski. who was committed
to Jail on June 20 on a charge of arson,
was released on bail yesterday by
Judge H. NJ. Edwards. Anthony Swier-
kowski became his bondsman in the
sum of sl,500.
1t is alleged against Olchefski that
on the night of June 2s he blew up q
building at Pittston avenue and Elm
street owned by his wife, and after
wards caused the wreck to be fired. A
number of buildings were badly
wrecked by the explosion, and several
were also damaged by the subsequent
fire.
Olchefski was painfully injured by
the explosion. Immediately after the
occurrence the feeling against him on
the South Side ran very high, and his
friends thought it just as well that he
should remain in Jail until the excite
ment had somewhat subsided.

OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Proof of " II Is Always Well
to Hear Both Sides.''

Hotel Keeper John Moffitt, of Brick
avenue, who was arrested at the in
stance of Charles Sherman, on the
charge of assault and robbery, went
before Alderman Fidler yesterday and
had Sherman arrested for perjury.
Moffitt swore that Sherman was
reither assaulted nor robbed. He came
into Months place in an intoxicated
condition, 1t was alleged, and got into
"a squabble with the bartender over
payment for a drink. He was ordered
out, and as he was stepping from the
porch to the sidewalk he collided with
a large dog that happened to run past
and was thrown headlong to the
ground. The money which he says Mof-
fit robbed him of was found, together
with his keys, by a passer-by at the
point where he fell They were given
to Moffitt and he later turned them
over to Lieutenant Spellman.
After hearing this explanation the
alderman required Sherman to give
$500 bail to answer at court for perjury.

AN ACT OF COURTESY.
II Wasn't Much, But II Showed Presi-
dent McKinIcy's Character.

When the train bringing the McKin-
ley party into Washington stopped at
the station, the incoming president
found himself, after the custom of like
times, greeted by great concourse Of
people and surrounded by masses Of
flowers. Selecting from among these
flowers g. bunch of the most beautiful,
when his salutations We're made, he
walked the length of the platform
alone, and handed them to the engi-
neer who had brought the train in
safety.
1t was an evidence of delicate cour-
tesy possible, perhaps, only in demo-
cracy, but it revealed, as no message
to congress and no proclamation to a
country could reveal, the real nature of
the man-the fundamental impulses of
his character. Even those disagreeing
with him as statesman must do honor
to him as a man.-Harper's Bazar.

REGULAR LAKE OF OIL.
Found by Prospectors of Gold in Far
OF Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, July 13.-What Is
said to be the greatest discovery ever
made Is reported from Alaska. Some
gold prospectors, several months ago,
found what seemed to be lake Of oil,
fed by innumerable springs and sur
rounded by mountains full of coal.
They brought samples to Seattle and
tests proved the oil to be of as high
grade as any ever taken out of Penn
sylvania wells. A local company was
formed and experts sent up. They
have returned on the steamer Topeka
and their report has borne out the
first accounts.
1t is said there is enough oil and
coal in the district to supply the world.
1t is close to the ocean, in fact, the
experts say that the oil oozes out into
the salt water. 1t is said that the
Standard Oil company has already

Colonel Coursen Is confident that this
early morning demonstration caps a
perfect inspection and he does not fear
the result. On all sides the boys are
receiving compliments for the great
exhibition before the inspecting officers
Monday.
A delegation of Fourth regiment ad-
mirers passed through the regiment
Monday night congratulating the boys.
At officers headquarters the Thir-
teenth's splendid march is the princi-
pal topic of discussion. Comparison
with regular army drills are favorable
to our regiment. General Goblin is
pleased with the result. He expressed
himself more than once at the efficien-
cy of the Thirteenth. Everything has
gone right and there is no reason why
the Thirteenth will not lead this year

The devotion of these boys to that one

felt by the boys. Captain Gilman as
punishment compelled the fellow to
dig seven sinks, which is an extreme.

the operator. The cavalryman thought

THE TRANSVAAL RAID.
Cecil Rhodes Censured by the Parlia-

London, July 13.-The parliamentary
South Africa commission that has been
inquiring into the Transvaal raid has
agreed upon it's report The report will
express an emphatic opinion that,
whatever justification there might
have been for action on the part of the
people of Johannesburg there was none
whatever for Cecil Rhodess conduct in
subsidizing, organizing and stimulat-
ing an armed insurrection against the
government of the Transvaal.
A heavy responsibility, according to
the report, remains with Rhodes, de-
spite the fact that at the last moment
DR.. Jameson invaded the Transvaal
without Rhodess direct sanction.
