Fireman and the Mare.


Fireman and the Mare
(From Case and Comment.)
An amusing opinion by Judge Wilkes
in a late Tennessee case, which is too
long to quote here. describes the ad-
ventures of a mare on a railroad track.
AS she reached trestle with freight
train engaged In interstate commerce
behind her the train stopped to await
"the pleasure and future movements OF
the mare" The fireman approached
the animal in a quiet, peaceable. un-
demonstrative manner and with the
best Intentions" and without anything
unusual in his appearance except that
he may have had on his back clothes
and his face may have been covered
with smoke. But the mare over the
trestle, stepping sometimes on the ties
and sometimes on the vacant spaces
between them" and In so doing was In
jured, although she succeeded in max
ing the passage. prior decision OF
the same court as to mule which
jumped from trestle in front OF a
train was cited, and is said to have
given the court much concern" al
though there was an earnest attempt
to distinguish the two cases. The fact
that in one case 1t was mule and in
the other mare that was on the track
did not seem ito present satisfactory
ground for distinction, inasmuch as the
mare and mule are bound quite closely
by ties of consanguinity." In respect
to the claim that "it is negligence pure
and simple to approach a mule or a
frightened horse without soft words
and kindly outstretched hands," the
court says: "The distinction here made
between mule and horse is well
taken-that is, that 1t is dangerous to
approach a mule whether he is fright
ened or not. This court Is agreed that
the fireman ought to have known as
much as this court about horses and
mules. Upon the whole case the court
is Of opinion that. though the mare has
recovered, the plaintiff ought not to
recover" Some general comments are
made to the effec. that "perversity and
disposition to have their own way
seems to be popularity of east Ten
nessee animals" The court refers to
the suicide OF Texas pony in that
state and to the catastrophe to two
hounds in a fox chase who disputed the
right of way with an approaching train
on this same road, but adds that It Is
not shown that the fireman knew OF
this perverse disposition of animals in
east Tennessee. and as he was on a
through train the presumption is that
he did not know of these local Pc
culiarities.

The Monitor, a newspaper published at

The Fullne.. Thereof.

Amid the discomforts Of life and the
fullness therof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure. the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
SO much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure Of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sciatica or lum-
bago, or with the minor ailments OF
sprains and bruises, or OF soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy of st. Jacobs OIL
and the fullness thereof in SO many
complete and perfect cures make 1t
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should We stand on the
order of going for 1t, and not go at
once? In numberless cases the aggra-
vations Of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

A SIGNAL SERVICE.
Sighting of Vessels Known at
Once in Washington.

Under the energetic management Of
Capt. John X. Bartlett. who was re-
called from the retired list into the
active service Of the navy department
for the purpose, there has just been
perfected most admirable and thor
ough system Of coast signaling for war
purposes. The navy department itself
established thirty stations on the
coast, manned by naval militiamen.
Then 1t called into service 1850 light
house employees and 10000 life saving
men, making total force Of over 3d.
900 men. who patrol the great shore
line from Bar Harbor to Galveston
night and day and in all weathers,
watching for the approach Of an enemy
or for signal from any passing Unit
ed States warship.
1t has been arranged that all of
these wtchers can communicate in the
course Of few minutes with a tele-
graph or telephone line and all center
in the Office of Capt. Bartlett, in the
navy department, who is thus prepared
to give the war board instant notice
of any significant ship movements on
the coast. Capt. Bartlett Is brother
of Major Bartlett, now residing In Ho-
nolulu.

4 Warsllip's Coal.

The amount OF coal consumed by n
vessel during voyage depends very
lagely upon the speed, for the coif
sumption of coal increases almost in a
geometrical ratio to the speed. There
are many ships which burn from 100
to 800 tons of coal per day, the lowest
consumption being when the vessel Is
sailing at moderate rate. Our men
Of war do not consume so much in
proportion as swift passenger steamers
which ply between Europe and Ameri-
ca, for, unless in an emergency, they
are not driven at the highest attain
able speed. The ocean passenger
steamers often burn from $500 to $500
tons during voyage lasting six to
seven days, though, Of course, as al
ready stated. the amount is largely de-
pendent on the speed.--St. Louis Globe
