and firebox, could be recovered. Engi-
neer Edward Baldwin was thrown
from the cab into the ditch and badly
scalded, but not fatally injured None
of the passengers were seriously hurt,
although several incurred minor in
juries.
The engine tender left the rails while
still 100 feet from the end of the
trestle, and if it had not stuck to the
ties all the cars would probably have
been dragged into the bay. AS it was.
after the entire train had left the rails
it bumped along over the ties for a dis
tance of 800 yards before the tender
went into the ditch, overturning the
engine and the first car, which were
completely wrecked.
The train was drawn by engine No.
10, running backward, at a speed of
about thirty miles an hour, when the
accident happened. Conductor F. w.
Toye, who was. in the rear car esti-
mated that there were about 100 people
aboard, the majority of them in the
last two of the five coaches making up
the train. The passenger most seriously
hurt was w. H. Hammond of this city
whose right hand was broken.

Elnnnence at Bay.

IF was a preacher who had that ia
tal huency" for whom an acquaintance
laid a trap. He had a way of promising
to preach, and on beginning would say
something like II have been too busy
to prepare a sermon, but II some one
will kindly give me text. III preach
from it" One determined to cure him.
He. therefore asked him to preach. The
invitation was accepted. The time
came. and the visitor began his usual
introduction: Brethren, have been
so pushed for time to-day as to have
been quite unable to prepare sermon.
But if some of you will give me a text
I'll preach from it. Perhaps my broth
er here" turning to the pletter near
him, will suggest text yes
brother" came the ready response;
your text is the last part of the nlnth
verse of the first chapter of Ezra, ana
it's words are nine and-twenty
knives" There was pause, an om-
inous pause, as the preacher found his
text. He read it out, ne-and-tWenty
knives" and began at once. NOTICE
the number of these knives-just eX-
actly nine-and- Twenty; not thirty, not
eight There were no more
and no less than nine -and-twenty
knives" A pause-a long pause. Then
slowly and emphatically, 'Nine-and-
twenty knives" A longer pause. Then
meditatively, Nine aaQ twenty
knives" Again he rested %Nine-and-
twenty knives" A dead stop. Nine
and-twenty knives-and if there were
nine hundred and twenty knives L

FAMILY PRIDE.
Must Be Upheld No Matter What
the Cost May Be.

'sBless my soul!" exclaimed Mr.. Snoo-
son as he saw the wife of his heart
plodding up the marble steps hand over
hand. after his own "3 a. m" manner.
"What under the heavens has happened
to Madge?"
He ran to the door just in time to
catch the fainting woman in his arms
and carried her bodily into the draw
ing room.
After sundry restoratives, he put the
awful question: For mercy's sake
what has happened, dear? Were you
wayIaid and sandbagged. or did twen-
ty-story house fall on you?'
The painting woman rolled her eyes
deIiriously. A beatifc smile passed
over her wan features Reaching into
her bosom from next to her heart she
drew forth silver-mounted shoe horn
"See that!" she cried, lourishing 1t
triumphantly.
''W-well, what of it?" he stammereu.
"Are you going daft?''
But I won it-I won it," she cried,
with flashing eyes.
"The deuce you did" he retorted with
some irony. What of it?"
what of it?" was her indignant re-
L
the first prize of the Murray Hill Pro-
gressive Whist Club, that's what it is,
sir!"
The man drew a deep breath.
20 really!" he rejoined Then, after
the shock had passed, he added: AND
YOU mean to tell me that you have
ruined a $500 Felix gown, crushed IN
$40 bonnet. and wrought yourself up
into a state bordering on collapse just
to secure that miserable little jimcrack?
Why, just look at yourself in the grass.
You're a sight. You look as if you had
been doing Chinatown with Chuck Con-
nors and two detectives
':But won-I won't interrupted the
infuriated woman. why don I you
congratulate me? There were twenty
eight in the club. 1 would have died OF
modification if any of those hussles
had won it from me. Well, there!
that isn't just like man. Not spark
of family pride in his soul. l wonder
what I ever married such an unpatriot-
ic stick for, anyway"
Her husband had moved into the hail,
where he was donning his hat and coat
to 60 down to the club and recuperate
over a high ball. II say" he broke In
from afar, eff you look like that when
YOU got the first prize, for heavens
sake where is the woman who got the
BOBBY prize?"
But the progressive whist nend
curled her lip in scorn.
I'm the morgue, most likely" she an
swered. as she stamped majestically
off to the messenger to summon the
family physician.
Then she tied the shoehorn with blue
ribbons hung it on the wall of her bou-
doir. and went to bed for three days

NATIONAL GUARD.
Knotty Problem in Reorganization
Signal Corps Disappointed.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22-Plans
for the reorganization of the National
Guard of California are now occupying
the attention of its superior officers.
All of the members of the guard who
were mustered in as volunteers did so
with the implied understanding that
when they returned from the war they
would be restored to their several
ranks and companies. How to reor-
ganize the several commands and at
the same time make room for those who
shall return is what is being debated
at this time.
One plan suggested is that officers
on the retired list shall fill all vacan-
cies in field, staff and line, and that
companies be recruited to the mini
mum, namely, fifty, and when the Off
GERS return from the war they be COM
missioned anew, return to their COM
mands and be as they were before en-
listment.
Within the past ten days there have
been received about 400 personal appli-
cations from citizens from all parts of
the State who desire to join the guard
on reorganization. Others offer to re-
organize companies.
That the Signal Corps of the Second
Brigade has not been called into SER
vice has greatly disheartened many of
the members, who, in view of the fact
that the excellence of their ability to
perform the duties of signal men has
been commented upon by officers Of the
regular army in official reports to the
war Department, were under the i'm
preston that competent men would be
taken for service that requires long
time and much practice to become ia
miliar with.
Captain Turner of the naval militia
is trying to have the men of his COM
mand sent to Honolulu to man the Ben
| nington so that the naval officers and
men on board might be sent where
their services might be of more value.
While waiting for an answer to that
| proposition the men are being drilled
continually on shore and ship so that
| they may be as perfect as it is possible
for men to be with the opportunities
they have, in case they are called for
| duty.

GLADSTONE'S FUNERAL.
His Death the Occasion Of an Out
burst of Pulpit Oratory.

LONDON, May 22.-Saturday, May
2Sth, has been fixed for the funeral of
Mr. Glads tone.
Mr.. Gladstone's death was the occa-
sion of a tremendous outburst of pulpit
oratory to-day. In almost every church
in the kingdom sermon was preached
in his memory. kilograms Of condo
Ilence continue to pour into Hawarden
from all parts of the world. The Queen
and the Duke Of York have again writ
ten to Mrs. Gladstone, who attended
services at Hawarden Church, where a
memorial service will be held next Sun
day, when the funeral service is being
held in the Abbey.
Mr. Gladstone's remains will lie in
Hawarden Chruch all day Wednesday,
where they will be viewed by his
friends and neighbors, the number be-
ing limited to the oldest and most in
innate From the church the body Will
be taken to Broughton Hall station and
carried to London on the train leaving
at 7:30 D. m. The deceased statesman
will lie in state in catafalque in West
minister Hall on Thursday and Friday

LONDON, May 23.--A dispatch to the
Daily Mali from Hongkong says:
Spaniards in Hongkong and at Manila
openly boast that fleet of warships
is on the way to the Philippines. The
Bishops have issued pastorals to the
effect that Spain and God are prepar-
ing to cut out these social excrescences
from America. These pastorals urge
the people to give no quarter, and they
ascribe Dewey's humanity in refusing
to lombard Manila as due to fear. AT
the same time, money is being spent in
bribing the inferior leaders among the
insurgents.
There is some anxiety here because
of the non arrival of American troops,
and the American Consulate is crowd
ed with volunteers. United States Con-
sui Williams is on duty day and night.
An American miner from Manila, by
the name of Occur, has arrived here.
For several years he managed coal
mine near Manila, but the Spanish
authorities, fearing he would supply
the American fleet expelled him. The
Spaniards were directly responsible for
the revolt of the Cubans, as the latter
gave them help during the recent in
surrection, and were in return prom
Used regular pay, and that their fami-
lies in their absence would be cared
for They were also to be exempted
from tribute. After seven months alb
sence, during which they received nc
pay, they returned home to find their
families starving and to be called upon
for tribute.

sighed the mother of the naughty six
So Lucy Mary went into the nursery
to Use her influence. When two of the
children quarrelled over a red gumdrop
-one of the sugar kind, with a thumb
hole in the bottom-she took ii away
and ate it herself, so that there should
be no more disputing. When the older
ones began to play heads and tails with
pennies, she told them it was wicked
gambling, and put the pennies in her
own pocket, just to lead them out of
temptation. If any one started to cry
she whispered that the devil put red
hot pebbles in all the mouths he found
wide open, and as you can't cry with
any comfort when your mouth is tight
shut, they unanimously postponed their
grief And the parents in the next
room said, How good the children have
grown already" and thanked Lucy
Mary's mother with tears in their eyes.
Looking on a shelf to see if there
were any more red gumdrops which
might rouse future discord, Lucy Mary
found a box of matches.
You must put them back" said the
Oldest girl Were not allowed to play
with matches"
TT is very wrong to play with
matches: / wouldn't do such a thing,
| said Lucy Mary. 1T isn't playing.
| though, to light newspaper and hold
| it UP the chimney, and it's very inter-
esting." Soon all the children were
holding burning newspapers up the
chimney. or frisking around the room
with them.
You mustn't jump for that's play
| ing" warned Lucy Mary. 1--WE are for
| hidden to do that, you know" So they
tiptoed softly, and talked in whispers
| All at once Lucy Mary saw that the
room was on fire.
| "It isn't ladylike to scream" she said
to herself Mamma says you oughtnt
to notice peoples furniture and things,
anyway. And it isn't nice to stay too
long at a first call, so I'd better go
| home"
| She opened the door very quietly, but
the fire had crept out ahead of her. and
the stairs was blazing. At that mo-
ment the parents rushed in.
'I told them it was wrong to play
with fire." said Lucy Mary. Il W1uldnt
do such a thing, would I mammal"
mo, my darling, not more tnan
once" said her mother.
The flames could not be checked, so
| the windows were opened, and the chill
dren were thrown out, one by one, into
blankets that people held up from be-
meath. All except Lucy Mary.
| 1t was decided that she was too good
to be thrown.
| So they left her there.-L1te.

Reports Of the Destruction Coming in
Slowly.
Everything in It's Path Destroyed
and Midtown Entirely Wiped
Out-A Number Of Persons Kill
ed at Different Places-Glad-
stones Death Furnishes a Tre-
mendous Outburst of Pulpit
Oratory.

FAYETTEVILLE (Ark.), May o.
The tornado which passed over a por-
ton of Arkansas Friday did immense
damage to property. Reports of the
destruction are coming in slowly, and
it is feared that later details will add
other names to the death roll. TIE
storm came from the southeast, pass
ing through the fruit belt of the Ozark
region, and tore it's way through the
southern part of Benton County, spend
ing it's force in the White River VAL
ley. Everything in it's path was de-
stroyed, the greatest damage being
done near Elm Springs, Lowell and
Midtown, the latter place being entire
ly destroyed.
At Elm Springs houses were blown
down, orchards destroyed and stock
killed. One man who had sought safe
ty in a cellar was killed. Two miles
east of Elm Springs a man named Bill
lingsworth and his wife were killed. A
mile away a farmhouse occupied by an
Italian family was wrecked and the
inmates instantly killed. Twenty
houses are reported blown away in the
vicinity of Elm Springs, but details
have not been received.
The storm was less severe in Craw-
ford County, but life was lost near Fort
Smith A Mrs. Nesbit died from fright
when the gale was at its highest
The house of w. S. Kimball near
Springdale, was blown down and Kim
ball was killed Several other farm
houses were destroyed and from six to
eight persons more or less seriously in
jured. Some damage was also done
at Rogers and Sloan Springs.
