The six besieged Weyandt children,
who defied the entering and taking
poss assion Of their home on Elm street
last Saturday by Constables Mink ana
Miller, are still in possession. There
does not seem to be any Likelihood OF
there being any change soon.
The children are well suppieh with
every necessity for q long siege ana
are apparently as alert as the first day
of the approach of the minions of the
law. Several aggressive moves were
made during the past few days by the
constables and but with little result
EXCEPT to cause the children inside to
be more watchful
The father, William Weyandtnas ap-
piled for an injunction to stop the
proceeds of the persons who are try
ing to take forcible possession or the
house. 1t is expected that the apph-
cation for an Injunction Will be passed
unon by court Saturday morning.
1t will be remembered that the
trouble was caused by the selling OF
the Weyandt property by FREDERICK
weyandt, a brother of william The
children stand in the way of the new
owners getting possession.

word and a pleasanter one to the
tongue. But that isn't what 1 was
asked to talk about l think IL was
railways on earth, wasn't It? Yes.
wen, the total mileage is 433,953 miles
divided up as follows: Europe, 155,-
2S4 miles; Africa, S,169 miles; Austria
lasia, 1888 miles; North America, 2O5,
eso miles; South America, 2i,O26 miles;
Asia 26,S90 miles.
Of course, North America leads with
nearly half of all the railway on earth,
and the United States leads North
America with 1S1,717 miles, and IL only
fails short about 5000 miles of having
more than all Europe, Asia and Africa
combined, which Is not so bad for a
young and growing country that didn't
have mile of track seventy years ago.
THE ratio of railway to area is
greatest in Africa, which has only s.
1853 miles to 11,514,000 square miles of
territory, or about one mile of track
to 1,400 square miles of territory. Asia,
with 4,7100O0 miles area, has 26, 800
miles of track, or one mile to 544 of
area; Europe has a mile of track to %
of area South America a mile of track
/ to 2S4 of territory; Australasia, 237
miles of area to one mile of track and
North America has mile of track to
80 miles of territory. The United
States beats them all with one mile OF
track to every is miles of territory.
In the ratio of road to population
the United States gives a mile of track
to every 400 persons; Europe makes g
ratio of one mile to 245 persons; Africa
can give only one mile of track tC
| every 1852 persons and Asia is by fai
| and beyond the greatest railway fielc
| on earth, with only mile of track tC
every 31,610 persons. The place for the
railway boomers to go and grow VI
with the country is Asia.
ITO sum up, there is total area II
the world of 51,23S0O0 square miles oc
cupied by about 1900, 100000 people
which would give one mile of railway
| to every 119 miles of territory and tn,
same to every 3,424 persons, which may
be taken as an indication that the de-
mand for new railways will continu,
| for some time vet"

ABOUT SLEEP WALKERS.
Queer Things About Them and Thei
Narrow Escapes.

From the Hartford Courant.
The mention of a Sleep walker stand
ing upon the street railway track the
other night and barely escaping being
run down has brought to the minds of
many people incidents in this line that
have come under their observation,
and it is simply astonishing how gen.
eral is this singular habit. One person
mentions the case of a member of the
household who was found wandering
about on the housetop. all unmindful
of his danger, while the observer was
at his wits end to know how to get
him in before he should make mis-
step and fall to the ground. Usually
the eyes of the somnambulist are wide
open, and now and then a story indi-
Gates that the vision must be fairly
good at times. For instance, a gentle
man said that when he was young
man an acquaintance was badly given to
the habit, and he would often go out into
the yard and wander about. One night
a number Of them lay in ambush for
him just to watch his operations. BY

like way and out came the young man.

impressed upon his mind that he never
afterward INDUCED in the habit.
A gentleman told an amusing incl
dent that happened in his EARLY life.
He was sure that he could not have
been more than five or six years old at
the time. The often found himself at
the far end of the long, unfinished
chamber where he slept, and usually
could not wake sufficiently to find his
way to bed again, so one or the other
of his parents would hear him crying
and come to his rescue. Naturally
they got a little tired of the bother
and no one should be blamed for what
followed. As stated the chamber was
an unfinished one, and in place of the
guard rail at the danger end of the
stairway a number of barrels had been
placed. When the nights somnambu-
listic tour eliminated that left a last
ing impression on his mind, as well as
his body-he was near those barrels
and it seemed had been struggling to
get through between them, when he
must surely have been killed by fall
ing down the stairs. The noise aroused
the parents, and on this memorable
occasion the father visited the cham

GOETHE's VISIT TO CARLSBAD.

There is no doubt that the life

The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
