radius of the first circle will be one and
one-half miles distant from the station,
the second two miles, the third two and
one-half miles and each additional circle
one-half mile farther away. Then, tOo the
various points of interest in the District
will be designated by figures, by consulting
which the passenger may at glance see
just what the proper charge for convey
ance to a certain point Is. That there may
be cabs on the stand at all hours, the COM
pany will have extra drivers and horses.
Prohibits other Cabs.
OF course the establishment of the rail-
road cab stand at the 9th street station will
prevent the standing there of any other
public conveyances, and such public vehi-
cles as are now there will be required to
make use of other hack stands. The law
provides that there shall be three feet of
space between each vehicle occupying a
position on a public hack stand, and as
the railroad cabs will be about seven feet
in width the placing of twenty of them on
B street would mean the occupancy or
about 200 feet. Owing to the fact that the
tracks of the lexington street railway
line are run adjacent to the sidewalk on
the south side of B street as 7th street is
approached, the street space there, which
otherwise might be used by the cabs, is
thereby limited to about 160 feet, which
means that about only sixteen cabs can
stand on B street. The remainder will,
lEeIeioie, pe ciptheu " tdhe poSitioIS on
9Th street, where at present several public
vehicles stand, and the latter will thereby
be forced away.
Improvements Projected.
The railroad company will extend the
awning shed on B street, SO that passen-
gers will be fully protected from the wealth
er. and the company will also erect a
booth there to be occupied by the superin-
tendent of the cab system. The superin-
tendent will be provided with telephone

TWO HEROES

The American loves hero. Some.
times, however, in looking for that de-
sirable person, he will overlook some
one who is much better entitled to the
title.
Here are some facts which compare
the actions of two men at the out
break of our civil war, one of whom is
generally known as hero, while the
name OF the other is practically for
gotten. Guess at the names.
One commanded fort in a southern
harbor. When signs of hostilities be-
gan to appear, he moved his command
to another fort and spiked and dis
mounted the guns in the one he left.
When summoned to surrender, he re-
fused, but Informed the enemy that if
they would refrain from firing for a
few days he would be compelled to
surrender for want of provisions,
unless revictualled in the meantime.
Fire was opened on the fort he replied
with the small guns in the lower case
mates, not wishing to expose the lives
of his men by firing the heavy fifteen.
inch Dahlgrens in the barbette. After
terrible bombardment, the garrison
capitulated, marching out with honors
of war and saluting their flag.
The other man was lieutenant who
was in charge of a small fort in the
South. When hostilities began he
pleaded in vain with his superiors in
command to take steps for the safety
of the government property. Most of
them proved either disloyal or indiffer-
ent. 1t was then that this unknown
lieutenant assumed the responsibility,
regardless of threats and Vaccinations
of men who were his superiors in COM
mand, of removing his small garrison
to stronger and much more isolated
and formidable fort, and spiking and
dismounting the guns in the one he
left. Reinforced by few sailors and
non-combatants who brought his COM
mand up to nearly two hundred, he
held the fort he had occupied against
all attacks, refusing to negotiate for
its surrender and delivering it to his
superior officers when reinforcements
arrived.
This fort was never captured by the
rebels, and was one of the few if not
the only fortified place in the South
which never fell into their hands.
What were the names of the two
heroes? A. F. o.

BRIGHTEST SCENES.

Nature in distributing its beauty over
this vast domain has been far more
generous with some localities than
others. Still nearly every section of
the country has some spot upon which
those who dwell thereabouts look upon
that very spot as "a thing OF beauty and
a joy forever

"yobs'' or do anything else, but on ac-
count of the poverty of his family he
considerably agreed to have the fu-
neral postponed. On this point how
ever he did not insist, but told his wife
that she might go ahead with the fu-
neral any time if she could "reford" it.
Anna, however, thought the matter
over and decided that she could not
"reford'' to feed Ole any longer, since
he was dead anyhow, so she went and
saw the sheriff who brought Ole before
the probate judge, before whom he
most emphatically insisted that he was
dead, so the judge sent him to place
which Ole called "Raschista.''
Now, when Ole came to "Raschista."
there were some "dokta fellers" who
stubbornly refused to believe that Ole
was dead. This, however, only had
tendency to settle Ole more firmly in
his belief.
He would sagely remark: Dem dok-
ia fellers is dam fools. Don't know
uCdu HldH ven ucy 81 nlm.
But one day about six months after
Ole had arrived at Raschista, there
came to him a sad trial. A young Rus
sian doctor, travelling and inspecting
public inlirmaries in this country
came to Raschista that day. l have
heard that his name was Sawmileggoff.
which is a very good name for doctor.
DIR. Sawmileggoff was informed of
Ole's case, and said he believed he
could effect cure He was given per-
mission to try.
Followed by the doctor in charge, he
entered Ole's ward. In passing, he
turned to the house physician and said:
"That man is dead. He's been dead
for months. don't understand why
you don't bury him."
The other replied: "Well, we had
some doubts as to his being dead, but
If you say he's dead, guess we'd bet.
ter open him up and see what he died
Of"
This was new deal on Ole, but he
never batted an eye, but on the other
hand was heard to remark: 'Dat moo
dokta dam smart falIer.'
The doctors immediately proceeded
to business. Ole was laid on the Oper.
ating table and bowl of lukewarm
water placed handy.
"Guess he died from heart disease"
said the Russian. "But We'll soon find
out what was the matter with his
heart
Ole lay very quiet and expectant as
becomes a dead man, while the Rus.
sian looked over a beautiful assort-
ment of cleavers and saws and things
very ostentatiousIy. After selecting
butcher knife about two feet long and
flourlshing it before Ole, he remarked:
"Well, here we CO."
But just then he deftly dropped the
knife and took sponge full of water
and a needle. Rapidly drawing the
needle along the stomach of Ole, he al
lowed a stream of water from the
sponge to follow it. Ole started some
what at this, but when the Russian ex-
claimed:-"Well, never saw a corpse
bleed like that, and it's warm, too"
Then Ole started up with yell and ex-
claimed:-"Whoop! I'm aleeve, I'm
aleeve. You doktas don't know notin.
Ven korp bleed and it's worm den
he's aleeve."

Heaven and He'll.


The preacher paused at paragraph eight
In the midst of Paradise
From one to six he had painted the fate
Of the victims of wilful vice
And now he allured to a nObler life
With visions of future bliss,
Where ease shall atone for present strife
And the next would balance this.
But ere he could take up caput nine
Some one opened the outer door,
And heads were turned down the main aisle
AT the sound of the feet on the floor:
A woman with eyes that brOOked no bar
Strobe through the gallery arch
In her right hand bearing water Jar
And in her left a torch.
The preacher lifted his solemn eyes
And mildly shook his head
He gazed at the woman in greved surprise
Who had broken his sermons thread;
He raised his voice while she still was far
And hoped to stay her march;
And what would you here with your water
jar?
And what would you here with the torch?'
"A shame,' she cried, "On your coward
creed;
And have you no faith in man?
bear this witness 'gainst fear and greed
burn and quench as can;
The torch bear to set heaven afire
And the water to put out hell
That men may cease to do good for hire
And the evil from fear to quell.''
She came near the altar and swung her torch
And dashed the water around,
Then turned and passed through aisle and
through porch
While the people sat spell-bound.
She walks the earth with her emblem dire
And she works her mission we'll;
The torch to set high Heaven afire
And the water to put out He'll.

This forenoon the cases in which

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, April 14.-Our Liverpool
cable Is higher for the day. A
combination Of war news, togethe
with reports from California, seems
to scare the foreigner, but the war
has been the great factor. The sell
ing of May by brokers yesterday who
worked for Letter and free selling
again today has the appearance OF
Letter selling that month. There is
also talk of his having accepted cash
wheat in lieu Of options which have
been short to him heretofore and
these combined would seem to indi
cate that with large selling on priv
ileges by him yesterday and today
although he had taken occasion not
only to sell foreigners plenty of cAsh,
but, also, on this excitement to sell
plenty Of options as well. Price Cur
rent says wheat crop IL doing we'll.
Mr.. Letter acknowledged / 500, 900
accepted on his foreign offers over
night. Reports from the winter wheat
country are excellent this morning
according to private advices. Shorts
are eliminated and as the prominent
long has freely sold, IL looks lower.
.Corn-Liverpool was up equal to 2
cents on cash but this affected our
market very little. Cash demand
good. In the spring OF 1851, after
the civil war broke out, corn broke
from As to 20 cents per bushel.
Oats-Strong in sympathy with
others but there was heavy selling
by elevator intarests. Cash demand
good at 1-2 cent advance.

sions for sale today, supposed to be
