Between Chicago and Rock Island.
The new flyer on the Rock Island
road that is to compete for the United
States mail contract with the Bur-

Omaha on her maiden trip shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning, seven
minutes ahead of schedule time, hav-
ing made run that, if anything, eX-
ceeded the anticipations of those who
had planned the trip.
The train came from Chicago
at a gait that was phenomenal
in spots, and vet did not accom-
plish the speed that could have
been made were it necessary. Pull
ing out of the city by the lake at 1856
last night Cen time) the flyer was de-
layed at Englewood on account of the
belated arrival of the Lake Shore mail
train. With Engineer Fred Brewer at

the Chicago suburb Nas quick and

with her three-car pull. the train con-
sisting of combination mail and
passenger coach, a chair car and
| sleeper, sweeping over the remaining
| stretch of country without encounter
| ing an incident that tended to dis
| turb the even tenor of its progress.
In all, between Chicago and Rock ISL
and, eight stops were made for mail,
passengers, water. etc, and the train
pulled into the Fifth avenue depot at
IL 80, having covered the distance in
| three hours and Al minutes, reducing
the schedule p minutes, and count
ing the Englewood delay, coming in
SO minutes ahead of time.
The fastest time was made between
Seneca and Marseilles, the official
register showing that the train was
running at the rate of 90 40 miles
an hour.
Aboard the Train.
On board the train were f. j. Mac
Leod, assistant general passenger
agent; w. /. Allen assistant general
| manager; George +. Wilson, superin-
tendent of motive power; G. l.. Mich
OILS, uperintendent of the Illinois
division. and j. c. Skies, trainmas

men.
The engines were changed here, and
| at 1908 the train left for its destina.

L. T. Magill in the cab.
The new train will make the return
trip on slower schedule, and will
be known as No. 2. departing from
here for Chicago daily at 7:55 a. m.

all in readiness for the fray. the bat
tle-ground had been selected, and
mum Der of those who had received a
quiet tip that they would get their
moneys worth if they would report at
certain place at certain hour, had
assem- bled when word came down the
line that Chief of Police Fender was
ION" and intended to make it interest
ing for those identified with the
match. So adjournment sine die was
taken.
Chief Fender stated today that he
had heard of the proposed mill, but
he was satisfied that 1t did not come
off, unless the crowd, after dispensing,
got together in some out-of-the-way
quarter and had the battle. He said
he made personal investigation OF
the mater with the assistance OF
Capt. Eckard and Officer Kramer. and
instructed that every man who was in
any way connected with the fight
should be arrested the moment the

Why the Light Went Out.

In front of the high altar in the ca
thedral at Salzburg there is a great
lamp that is supposed to burn forever
and day." One morning, years ago.
worshipers were surprised to see it go
out, and this was repeated morning
after morning, always about the same
time. It was thought the attendant
had neglected to give it sufficient oil.
and though he declared his innocence
he was told that he would be discharged
if the oversight were repeated. Unwil-
ling to deal unjustly with the man, the
dean of the cathedral hid himself one
night to see if he could solve the mys-
terry. He had not long to wait. About
ten o'clock a big rat was seen descend
ing the rope by which the lamp was
suspended. Having reached the oil.
it fed freely and then went away by the
way it came. Needless is it to say that
the attendant held his place--Detroit

A Sharp RetOrt.

It was after the publication of the
"Lives of the Poets" that DR.. Farr, be-
ing engaged to dine with Sir Joshua
Reynolds, mentioned that on his way
there he had seen a clever caricature of
DIR. johnson being logged around
Parnassus by the nine muses.. The adj
mirers of Gray and others, who thought
their favorites harshly treated in the
"Lives." were laughing at Fairs ac-
count, when DR.. Johnson was an
Eounced. Sir Joshua introduced DIR.
Farr, and to his infinite embarrassment
repeated the story. Johnson turned to
Farr and said: "Sir, am very glad to
hear this. hope the day will never ar
rive when I shall neither be the object
OF ridicule nor calumny, for then shall
,bc neglected and forgotten. "-Detroit

AN IDOL OF CLAY.

What did she give for her wedding-ring?
All that woman may!
What did the gifts to the giver bring?
Only an idol Of clay.
All the sweet dreams of her girlhoot
years,
AL that q heart could hold:
All Of her hopes and all of her fears;
All Of her smiles and all Of her tears.
For one little circle of gold.
Told she the world Of the bitter cheat?
All, no! With q smiling face
She clothed her idol from head to feet
With the garments of her grace.
And NO one knew Of the tears she wept;
Her griefs they were never guessed,
For hid in her heart Of hearts she kept
Her thorns of woe. And 80 she slept
With her hands across her breast.

hicted wounds which could never heal, and
left his victims to live. 1t was impossible to
hit such man back, in a way to make him
feel to the utmost extent the agony he had
administered; the only thing was to take
from him his worthless life; this he doubt
less valued most of all things, and meant
to deprive him of it, if he stood at the altar
of Christ. Moved by such thoughts, and
with my cloak drawn well over the lower
part of my face, fastened towards the
Roman gate, reaching it just as it was to be
closed for the night. In fact, as passed
out, the huge doors came together behind me
with a groaning, and at the same time /
heard the dull boom of the evening gun
from the camp, followed Immediately by the
distant peals of the trumpets of the cavalry
brigade.
As the crow flies, Florence was but few
leagues distant; but obviously would have
to journey by side paths, over hill AMI
across valley to avoid observation, and this
would occupy at least two days, unless my
travels were permanently stopped by my
being cut off by privateering party from
the camp, or by any other untoward acct
dent. Neither contingency was unlikely,
for the writ of the king ran barely league
from the army, and the country was full of
banditti

lie at Bucine for the night, or, if no better
accommodation offered, to sleep as a SOL
der should, wrapped in my cloak, with the
sky for roof. AS went on, found was
relying little too much on my knowledge
of the road, and blue mist, which rose
from the ground, made it impossible to pick
my way by landmarks. The moon, come
out by this time, shone fitfully through the
bank of clouds, which was shifting uneasily
overhead, and the wind, rising steadily,
marked rain. l stirred myself all the faster,
for was in no mind to add wetting to my
misfortunes, and drop or two of rain that
caught me showed had but little leisure to
lose. / made out a narrow cattle track, and
hurried along this; but before l covered q
mile the moon was obscured, and the wind
dropped. It now began to rain, and the
darkness was SO thick, that l could only
just follow the road. Soon the track died
away into nothing, and found myself foun-
dering, over my ankles in mud, and up to
the waist in wet rushes. At any moment l
might strike quicksand, with which these
marshes abound, so used my sword as a
search-pole, stepping only where l found
foothold, a dozen inches or so below the
surface of the bog. In this perplexity, i'm
agine my relief to see the blaze of a fire
shoot up beyond small rising ground before
me. and throw an arc of light into the dark

a word, strobe down the aisle. As reached
the church door the bells of the Angelus
rang out, and yielding to a sudden impulse
I looked back.
