SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
A Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice-LOving Passengers
Much JOY.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train
few evenings ago were treated to a spectacle
of retributive justice that tickled them ia
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
sengers save one had their windows down.
This unpleasant exception was disgruEtied.
looking party, with plentiful growth OF
weedy.ooking whiskers, and these he al
lowed to sway in and out of the window with
the gusty zephyrs. Of course, he got none
of the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one of them asked the
"open- window fiend" if he would mind put
hing the window down. 'No!" he replied,
gruffly. Its too warm. If you don't like it
change yor- seat"
In front of the man sat a travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as a flash he raised his window, and instant
err the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after a few moments of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down. few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught III similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification of the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without so much as a
twinkle of the eye, replied mo! It's too
warm. If you don't like it change your
seat! Record.

Moral Progress in Cities.

We know that the great cities are
gaining in population far more rapidly
than the rural sections. Every year,
says the Washington Post, the percent
age of urban residents rises higher. We
know also that there is steady adj
vance in the average civilization; that
this nation, as a whole, is becoming
more intelligent, more humane. more
moral; that it is increasing its efforts
TO help the needy, to succor the dis
tressed, to promote all worthy inter-
ests. Public and private benevocnce
were never so grandly displayed as
they are in this land in these days. No.
where else has there been so vast or so
intelligent an expenditure of wealth
for religious, educational and chart
tablepurposes asin these United States
The coincidence of this growth OF
good works in the nation with the in.
crease of urban over rural population
would seem to indicate that the cities
with all their vices and crimes, are the
chief promoters of intellectual and
moral progress.

What Women Arc Doing.

Tho question What shall girls do
for living?" is becoming almost as
pertinent as the same query made con-
corning their brothers. A gentleman
who has given the matter some investi-
cation discovered that in single resi-
dence apartment house up town there
were lodged women artists, actresses.

bookkeepers, buyers, caterer. clerks,
costume designer. canvassers, COM

tective. dancer, director, editors,

ers. Apparently the girls have an
swered the question themselves.

Among the characters of Buffalo, N.
D.. is a certain justice of the peace
as uniformly wise as he is facetious.
The other day he caused the following
to be published in the local paper: ~

local clergy are cutting prices and
thereby demoralizing business. ! will
not reduce prices to perform the mar
riage ceremony, but will give time, il
necessary, or will take meat, potatoes,

his BUSINESS ABILITY.
As q Hanger On Young Mr.. Blanb

Success.

This fair maid will have handsome dot
some time, and 1t is the ambition of her
father to have her marry one whose fortune
will at least equal her own.
- want you to stop that young Blank call
ing htre," he remarked, recently, nthe au
tocra:,c way that some fathers have. He
has no prospects worth speaking Of, there is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and don't want him hanging around
here any more.
"What is business ability, papa?"
"Why, you know. Everybody knows, OF
course. Let me see. Why, it s the ability to
see the main chance, to grab it, and hang on
till you get the money. That's what it is.
and there's plenty of young men in Detroit
that have it. Blank lacks it woefully"
ooh, he does? I'm afraid papa, that
you're speaking without proper information.
He knows that I'll have 100000 some time.
That is a main chance worth looking after
Mr.. Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for it.. He's hanging on, and he's,
going to get it. Do you happen to know Of
any other young man Of his age and limited
opportunities whose business ability has as.
sured him so handsome fortuneW
The old gentleman's answer sounded sus-
piciously like smothered profanity, and it
was fully five minutes before the bewitching
creature could bring the sunshine of a smile
to his face Now he tells few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making Of
one of the best business men in the city,

The following story comes from a
western state: A glib young man
called at several farmhouses and Of
fered for sale new patent lightning
rod, claiming it was the greatest in
vention ever brought TO light. 1t con-
sisted simply of rod 20 feet in length,
with two points. The rod was laid
along the apex of the barn and both
ends pointed straight up in the air
But where does the lightnin' go after

shot up in the air again from the other
point"

The Statist, London financial paper,
says: "The American public is suf-
fering from fully developed case of
speculative fever, and the development
of the trusts is the most viruent form
of the disease" Certainly, says the
Youths Companion, the rapid progress
Of our material interests has made us
the most hopeful people in the world,
and the readiest to take risks or to
undertake great enterprises; but when
it comes to business methods that re-
semble gambling, somebody is bound
to get hurt, and hurt in more ways
than one.

Andersonville, Ga, near the scene of
the great prison camp of the civil war,
is to-day u poverty-stricken hamlet of
25 little implanted cabins and popula-
ton of 200, more than half colored.
The people of the region have super
stition against it as an unlucky place,
and negroes in the neighborhood in
sist that when $4,000 men were con-
fined there a plague of strange winged
vermin appeared that covered every
thing for miles around. Memorial day
is a noted negro holiday at Anderson
vile. but during the rest of the year
it is practically deserted place.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

EyIt still looks as if the democrats
might have to use Mark Hanna as their
octopus again next year.-Chicago
Tribune.
UThis is a billion dollar country in
several senses. The latest figures show
that we have billion dollars in gold
money.-Troy Times.
JThe democrats of Pennsylvania
paid no attention to the expansion is
sue, and the 'aunties" are likely to have
another fit or series of them.-Cleve-
land Leader.
UThe silver question may be forced
to take it's place beside the tariff ques-
ton as one of the things the democrats
are going to attend to after they get
in.-Chicago Record Qnd.).
UEvery time manufacturing COM
pany raises the wages of it's employees
War Horse Bryan recognizes it as a
challenge to battle and snorts defiance
at the foe.-Chicago Tribune.
UWhere and why Organism exists
are shown by the mint figures as clearly
as by any political map. The silver pro-
duction in fine ounces was: For Ari-
IONA, 2,246,s0O; Colorado, 22,S15, 600;
Idaho, 5,073,S00; Montana, 14,S07, ZOO;
Nevada, S05,O0O; New Mexico, 425, 300;
Utah, 6,4s5,000; Oregon, 10000; Wash
ington, 254,400. In these states, where
the production of silver largely exceeds
that of gold, the free coinage idea has
its last remaining stronghold. Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and
Utah, all of which voted for Organism,
produced 52,234.300 fine ounces of sill
yer in 1898, the value of which would
have been arbitrarily doubled by free
coinage.-Chicago Tribune.
DPresident Mckinley has taken
about 1900 offices out of the classified

Dental. And it is all right. A man
should have the right and privilege,
when he is called to an important Office.
to select the man who is to stand in such
close relations, just as the president has
the right TO select his cabinet and pri-
vate secretary. He wants men with
whom he is personally acquainted; to
whom he can give perfect confidence.

in any essential point as far as civil
service principles are concerned.-CiD'

An American who has lived long in

sending girls alone to live in that or
any continental city. Under such cir
cumstances girl is surrounded by per-
lis of which her friends at home have
no idea, and is also the victim of ex-
tortion, especially after it is found that
she has engaged passage for home,
when payment must be made or the de-
lay of lawsuit submitted to. The op-
portunities for education in this coun-
try have become as good as those in
Europe. But if they were not, the cities
of Europe are no place for an unpro-
tected girl,

II would give" said man the other
day. "a thousand dollars, plus wages, to
capable servant who would agree to
remain in my employ for ten years."
The man who spoke lives III college
town in neighboring state, and he
went on to say that the problem of Sc
curing assistance to carry on the work
of house was becoming about as inn
portant as the matter of university edu-
cation. 1t is almost impossible, as
many can testify, to keep servants in
these small centers. The local worker
will not enter domestic service, and the
imported girl, usually from neighbor-
ing city, soon tires of her quiet sur
roundings. Who will solve this problem
of growing Importance?

The plans for the reception of Adj
miral Dewey on his return home al
ready promise severe test of his en-
Gurance. He is represented as dread
ing the ordeal. Hospitality, rightly
suggests Youths Companion, ought
TO exhibit it's merciful side. Welcom-
ing speakers might be given leave to
print their remarks. A nonhandshak-
ing league ought to be formed forth
with. The hero has earned the right
to see his native land without paying
the penalty of fatiguing experiences.
But what tribute to him is the fact
That precautions need to be taken lest
his countrymen overwhelm him with
expressions of affectionate admiration!
Public men are not often interested in
plans for the suppression of applause,
Or solicitous because the people seem
too glad to gaze upon them!

There is a certain amount of false
pride among the American people, dem
ocratic as they are, which, says the
Washington Times, leads some foolish
young people to regard death or indie
pendence as preferable to work which
they think below" them. The fortu-
nate and well-to-do classes are partly
responsible for this Stiffness. So long
as thoughtless rich women treat with
contempt or patronage the girl who
does certain kind of work, no matter
what her character or education may
be, so long there will be silly girls
among the poor who will refuse to do
that kind of work.

An autopsy on the remains of the late
Mrs. Rose Funk, wife of Hon. George
w. Funk, of Bloomington, ILL.,, revealed
the fact that she was the victim of myx-
oderma, one of the rarest diseases
known to the medical world. Her case
was diagnosed by several eminent doc
tors as Justification of the tissues, but
the autopsy showed that the diagnosis
was incorrect, though the symptoms in
dicated Justification, as certain portions
of her body had hardened almost to the
hardness of bone. Of myxoderma only
20 cases are on record, and it is believed
that not more than 100 cases have been
found. There are occasional cases in
Switzerland, due to operations for the
removal of the thyroid gland in goiter,
The subcutaneous tissues in the case of
Mrs. Funk had hardened, making the
skin hard and dry like bone.

A Chance for The Girls

Here is a bit of glorious news for
widows and girl bachelors that comes
from the untrammeled west. An audi
ence of young widows and girl bache-
lors at the Berkeley lyceum in New
York was thrown intoa futter of delight
when DR.. Hartland Law, of San Fran
cisco said that the day is not far distant
when women would be free to propose
marriage. There was no dissent--of
course not. This disciple affirmed that
in the far west it is not infrequent for
women to make the marriage proposal,
and that such unions are usually at
tended with great felicity. Among the
elite of Siskiyou county, CAL, weddings
are effected through the insistence of
the young bellies. who refuse to accept
mo" for an answer from the bashful
young men. The new mode, SO says DR..
Law, is coming east rapidly, and is in
great favor. He thinks it will reach
here before next leap year. At that rate
of travel the New York girl can adoptit
say by next Christmas.

Now it is the canary birds. A Lon
don scientist says the feathers of the
yellow songster are laden with con-
sumption germs, which float through
the rooms of house; also, that when a
woman allows the bird to pick bits of
food from her lips she runs great risk,
as the bill is the principal breeding
place of the germs. AS one alarming
discovery of this kind succeeds another
the reflection is forced upon the human
race that it is exceedingly lucky to be
alive,
