A German lady, arriving for the first
.:me in England, drove to a first-class
London hotel, asked for a room, and
was shown into a very small, scantily
furnished one. She said, in q deter
mined manner, and In very broken
English: 81 will not have this ROOM"
mo, ma'am." said the porter, and
brought in the first box. Mani" re-
peated the lady, emphatically, II will
not have this room!" "No. ma'am,"
said the porter, and brought in the
second box. The lady thought her
faulty grammatical construction was
the reason for the porter's continued
obstinacy, and repeated, with a stern
distinctness: Man, will this room
not have" mo. ma'am," said the
porter and brought in the third box,
whereupon the lady left the room In
dignantly. but the porter drew her
hurriedly back across the threshold,
pulled a rope, and. to her intense as
constituent, the lift went up.-Tit.

His bingham Aprons.

Perhaps the most unusual presents
ever received by a man were bestowed
this Christmas upon q Brooklyn man
who cooks. They were two big blue
and-white checked glngham aprons,
long and large, and with ample strings
to encircle the masculine waist. The
man makes at times descent to tho
kitchen when the maids are away and
demonstrates how n good steak should
be broiled or some other of the nu-
merous things of the preparation OF
which for the table he considers that
he has an expert knowledge. Upon
such occasions II has been his custom
to borrow the first maids apron con-
vcnient. This good, housewifely ten
dency to use an apron being known,
there came to the man from out o.
town the two big aprons, which were
probably tho best appreciated Of all
his Christmas gifts and we're exhibited
with the greatest pride.-New York

WashOut.
Roseburg, Ore, Feb. 2S.-The south
bound passenger train on the Southern
Pacific was wrecked early this morning
near Nichols station in Cow creek cam
.yon. The high water brought down a
huge drift which carried away the
track. The train reached the break at
5 o'clock and the engine plunged down
into the gap left by the washout. AS
the engine rolled over, Engineer White
climbed out of the cab of the window
and escaped uninjured except for a
strained back and few bruises Fire.
man M. Devaney was pinned between
the firebox and drift of logs and held
firmly by the right foot. Everything
possible was done to rescue him. but
slow progress was made until the fire
was extinguished by letting the water
run into the firebox. Wet blankets were
hung up to protect the fireman from the
steam as much as possible. At times
the water poured over him from the
f1une which passed under the track.
As the day wore on he was in great
danger from the rapidly rising water
and it was apparent that il not soon re-
leased he would drown. His head was
kept out of water by men standing in
the stream holding him up. At one
time the only chance to save him from
death seemed to be to cut off his leg.
Fortunately, however, the wreckng
train arrived In time to prevent this.
The brave fellow was in this perilous
position six hours and bore his suffer-
ing heroically. Upon examination his
injuries are less serious than at first
supposed. His left leg is scalded above
the knee and his right ankle and foot

ANOTHER LUETGERT CASE.
Authorities Believe Sausagemaker Hecker
Dissected and Burned His Wife,


Chicago Feb. 2S.-The alleged murder
of Mrs. Becker wife of the sausage
maker, became to-day much closer
parallel with the famous Luetgert wife
murder case. Evidence has been dis
covered which leads to the belief that
Mrs. Becker's body was dissected and
burned piecemeal. Charred teeth and
what is said to be human bones
blackened and almost disintegrated by
heat were found In the ashes of the
kitchen stove in the Becker home. A
perfect segment of knee cap is said
to have been found. The fatty sub
stance had been burned away and a
porous white shape left. Dentists have
declared the teeth genuine and proba-
bly, from a human being. This new evil
dence against Sausagemaker Albert A
Becker has been submitted to George
A. Dorsey, expert psychologist who won
prominence in the Luetgert case and
the authorities are waiting the opinion
of the expert with the hope that science
will come to their aid in this case, as
it did in the legal battle against the
wealthy sausage manufacturer, Adolph
Luetgert. the wife murderer now serv-
ing a life sentence in Joliet peniten-
tiary.
