ways supposed that the sergeant never
touched drop while on duty, but as he
was headed in the direction of the room
where he was sitting he decided it was
about time for him to get out. There
was no chance for him to get by the
sergeant in the corridor, and driven TO
desperation at the thought of being re-
ported, he opened the window and gazed
down to the alley way beneath a dis
tance of rs feet.

policeman seemed to see in the room,
and his mind ran back to younger days
when he had perused thrilling tales of
Deadwood Dick and Impromptu Ike
sliding down rocky cliffs on their hand
kerchiefs torn into shreds and knotted
together, and he sighed because he was
not brought up on the plains with few
rocky cliffs to practice on.
After giving up all hope of ever get
ting out without jollying the sergeant,
he discovered a pile of rope in the cor
ner, and, like a man in mid ocean see
ing ship, he discovered a way of get
ting out. The pile of rope proved to be
fire escape and very gently he let him
self down to terra firma.
1t happened that the sergeant was
only looking for telephone and did not
go into the room, and shortly after he
departed the proprietor found his fire
escape dangling out of a window.
To prove his story the proprietor
showed the reporter the rope escape.
He said the officer offered to purchase
it, but he refused to sell, and it now
reposes in the same old place to do duty
again if called upon.

WORCESTER'S HOTELS.
Summers Business Has
Been a Record
Breaker.

The travelling public this summer
seems to have increased by nearly 50
per cent, if the number Of people regis
tered at the hotels may be taken as evil
dence. And an increase in travellers
is an unquestionable sign of business
prosperity.
At the hotels in Worcester they say
that this summer has been a record
breaker, when it comes to business
There have been more travellers regis
tered this year than has been known
since the days of the stage coach and
bad train service, when people had to
wait over a day or two before continu-
Ing their journeys. And the bulk of
the guests has been made up of bust
ness men. The hotels in Worcester get
very little of the summer tourist class
as the city is not a recognized summer
resort yet, and commercial travellers
generally lay off on vacations during
the hot months. So most of the tran

into Worcester's growth and making in
vestments here.
During the past week, however the
commercial travellers have begun &c
appear, and it will be only short time
before the hotels will be filed with the
knights of the road. In the early fall
too, people returning from the noun
tain and shore resorts often stop over
in the city for day or two on their
way home, and this year the hotels are
looking forward to a larger patronage
from that class. In short, hotel men as
well as every one else, have felt The eff
fects Of the prosperity and are rejoic-

AN ORDINARY MAN,.
SHORT STORY OF THE DAY.

He was the tenor at st. Basirs. She
was engaged to marry wealth and So
cial position. She had been the village
coquette, but that was years ago.
At least, she had lately heard Of her
self, Mary Hall is disposed of. She is
no longer power to be reckoned with"
And this from girls who, in the old
days, would not introduce their beaux
to her till urgent social necessity de-
manded the risk.
Life, engaged life, had been dull to
Mary. Here was a tenor, lionized as
tenors have TO he, and ready for the
conqueror's hand. Should she stoop?
What joke on the other girls! She
would show them that her abilities
were not on the wane; neither had she
retired from the destinations Of the
love- making world, just because she
was, at some far-away day, to marry
money.
The campaign began. MARY Hall is
more regular at service than OF old. Z"

GOODNESS IN BATTLE.
Great Value of Good Nerves in Grea
Military Commanders.

The GOODNESS in action of great COM
manders like Marlborough, yelling
ton, John Nicholson, and Stonewall
Jackson has been worth whole bat
talions in the fighting line. Basil Jack
son, who had frequent opportunities of
seeing the iron duke, during the
hours of the terrible Sunday, says
writer in The Cornhill Magazine, has
recorded the interesting and character
istic fact that the only sign of nervous
ness that he remarked in him was
that in a dangerous crisis he observed
him moving in and out the folds of
the powerful fleld-glass which he car
ried, and Of which he made such adj
mirable use in this and other cam
paigns. By the way, English telescopes
of the time We're far better than the
French, and it was looked upon as a
prize when one of them fell into their
hands. In one of Wellington's battles
against Soult he was able to read the
very able generals intentions by his
gestures to an aid-de-camp, and ac-
cordingly took prompt measures to
| counterfeit his plans, and years after
ward, when they were both old men,
he astonshed the marshal by telling
him how he had defeated him. Captain
nedy, gives another example of the
dukes astonishing GOODNESS. Near the
close of the day he galloped up to the
duke, then directing the defense being
made by Maitland's Guards, with the
momentous news that his line, the
right centre, was open for the whole
space between Halkets and Kemp's
brigades. All the duke replied was:
II shall order the Brunswick troops to
the spot, and other troops besides;
go you, and get all the German troops
of the division on the spot that you
can, and all the guns you can find"
and so he did. The duke himself led
five battalions of the Brunswickers in
to the gap, and with the charmed life
which he bore he won the great day,
when these young and untried troops
staggered into the fierce fire they en-
countered, and the vigorous onset of
the French, he threw himself among
them, and by voice and gestures rallied
them into the fighting line. And then,
his dangerous duty done in the right
centre, he galloped back farther to the
right to prepare for the storm just
about to break-Napoleon final effort
with his guard, which he only employ
ed in his battles in some great crisis
Of the struggle.

cant must have an income of less than
ten shiilings (S2.50) week, must not
have received poor relief, other than
medical unless under exceptional cir
cumstances, during 20 years prior to
the application for pension, and must
have endeayored. by industry or by the
exercise of reasonable providence, to
make provision for himself and for
those Immediately dependent on him.
TO applicants satisfying these con-
ditioas the committee recommends that
a pension, of not less than five shillings
and not more than eight shillings per
week, be given. 1t is further recon-
mended that pensions should be award
ed for a period of not less than three
years, to be renewed at the end of that
time, but subject to withdrawal at any
time, by the pension authorities, if in
their opinion circumstances should de-
mand it. These are the salient features
of a report which may yet lead to the
most socialistic legislation the British
parliament has attempted in its history.
They are raising rumpus in London
because Of the discovery that much of
the so-called Scotch" whisky on sale
in the barrooms is not whisky at all,
but Berlin spirit. This stuff is sent over
to England in 60 gallon kegs to be
broken down" with methylated spirits,
favored, colored artifcally, softened
and matured by adding quantity of
prune wine.
1t is an interesting question whether
this marvellous breaking down. pro-
cess is confined entirely to the other
side of the Atlantic or whether it is in
vogue in this country. There is only one
way to solve the problem There
should be public analyst in every city
to protect the public against such poi
son.

John Whitehead Mada Valuable Col.

John Whitehead Mada Valuable Col
lections in Philippines and China.
News of the death of John Whitehead,
the eminent field naturalist and coll
lector, comes from the island Of Hal
nan, off the southern coast of China.
He had gone to the far east with the
intention of completing the exploration
of the fauna of the Philippine islands.
but, as the instruction was still in its
acute stage, he made his way to Hal
nan. There he and his collectors fell
sick of the deadly fevers rife in the
island II fear" he wrote in his last
letter, chat l shall have to flee from
this terrible and most unhealthy spot !;
but it was too late for flight. The
Chinese. soldier who brought the
letter to the coast was the only one of
the entire party who escaped the sick
ness, and the leader died on June 2.
Mr.. Whitehead confined himself to the
study of birds. In the woods his ge-
MUS for outdoor observation was equal
led by his skill in managing the natives
whom re employed. His eye was so
keen that no new species ever seemed to
escape 1t, and his patience such that
he could 'outwait' even the sulky chill
dren of the woods If they sat down
ana refused TO QlON6, ne sat QOWn Dy
their side and waited till they changed
their minds. In the Philippines he
worked for months in forests at a
height of five thousand feet, under per-
petual rain. Yet the specimens he
brought home were as perfectly pre-
served as if he had been at work in
the rooms of the British Museum. Mr..
Whitehead always made his expedi-
tiohs alone from the first humble be-
ginning, when in Corsica he discovered
q new nuthatch and added it to the
list of European birds, to the final jour
ney to Hainan. He visited Borneo
climbed the great mountain Of Kina
Balu. and brought back forty-one new
species of birds from that region. He
also explored the birds of the island OF
PalaWan, where he found more new
species. But his most interesting work
was in the upper Philippines. In this
expedition he made the most striking
pathological discovery of recent times
the great forest eagle Of Samar. The
only skin of an adult bird of this spe-
cies is that sent home by him, which is
now among the treasures of the British
Museum of Natural History. 1t is fal
too precious for exhibition; but its por-
traits and dimensions are given in 1.-THE
Ibis" in a paper by Ogilvie Grant It's
combined weapons of beak and claw
are more formidable than those of ev-
cry other bird, and it's weight about
onehalf greater than that of the colder
eagle. Like all forest birds, it has
short wings. but the length of the body
is no less remarkable than its weight
