LAWYERS ODD CLIENT.
He Did Not Want Advice, But Innid for
the Privilege of Talking for
One Hour.

A junior member of a Dearborn
street law firm, reports the Chicago
Tribune, tells this story of one of his
first clients:
Il had just been appointed junior
member of the firm and relieved the
older members by looking after the
minor cases. One day well-appear-
ing man called at the office and inquired
if l could give him an hour of my time
and what would be the cost. told him,
and he accepted the terms, but added:
This is not to be a consultation. l
do not want advice or assistance. |
know perfectly well what l am going
to do, but 1 want to talk. / have no
friend. to whom l can unburden my
self, but if 1 pay you to listen l shall
have right to talk to you freely for the
time agreed upon
II agreed to this strange proposition
and appointed an hour at noon the fol-
lowing day. The man came promptly,
and l took out cigars and told the
office boy we were not to be disturbed
for an hour.
Mind the man said, 4 don't want
you to interrupt me. 1 am paying you
to listen
"Then he began. For one hour he
talked as one who never in his life had
unburdened himself to sympathetic
listener. 1 listened without saying a
word. When the clock struck one the
man ceased talking, paid his fee, took
up his hat and walked out.
six months later, looking over the
daily paper, the story of a suicide at
one of the hotels attracted my atten-
ton. The name was that of my talk
ative client. I have always believed
that if he had had some one to talk to
again he would not have committed
suicide"

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunker-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you SO often meet
are afflicted with kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or suf-
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need medi-
cine or doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys. purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discovery,
Swamp-ROot, by sending your address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for

A PLUNGE TO DEATH
Trolley Car Falls With Fright
full Loss of Life.
THIRTY-SIX KILLED, MANY INJURED
Accident Occurred Near Bridgeport:
Conn, on High TrestIe of
Newly Opened street Railway.
Only Two Passengers Escape.

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. THE most
frightful catastrophe recorded in Con
necticut for nearly half a century oc-
CURED shortly before o'clock yesterday
on the Stratford extension of the Shell
ton street railway, when loaded car
went off the trestle over Peck's Mill
pond at Oronoque, about six miles north
of Bridgeport, and sunk in the flats 40
feet below. Thus far SO people are
known to be dead and several more in
jured. Only two persons are known to
have escaped unframed. 1t is believed
that there were 43 passengers on the car,
but the Indicator was removed by con-
ductor of another car and spirited away,
so that at present it is impossible to state
accurately the number aboard.
The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The
car was north bound, running toward
Shelton. 1t was in charge of Conductor
John Carroll of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and Motorman Hamil-
ton of Bridgeport. He escaped by jump
ing.
The trestle is 40 feet long, made of
iron, with stone foundations, and was not
protected by any guard rails. South of
the trestle is quite an incline, on which
the car ran down at very fast rate of
speed. After it ran on to the trestle for
about ten feet the trucks left the rails,
and then the car continued on the ties
for about is feet, when it went off the
trestle and I2Cpped into the pond below,
Overturning completely and up ending.
When the car struck, the motor, which
weighed four tons, and the heavy trucks
crashed into it, instantly killing many of
the passengers.
Drs j. G. Lynch r. W. Ivors and J.
NJ. Johnson of Bridgeport, who were pas
sengers on a car short distance behind,
were quickly at the scene and rendered
all possible assistance to the injured.
Word was quickly sent to Bridgeport,
and three ambulances and a police wag-
on were hurried to the scene, and the in
jured were taken to the Bridgeport Gen
eral hospital. A number of other convey
ances were also pressed into service to
convey persons to the hospital. Medical
Examiner Coggswell of Stratford impro-
vised a morgue in the main room of the
town hall at Stratford, and in a very
short time % bodies were laid out await |
ing Identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frances Peck, who resides about 400 |
feet from the bridge. She was up stairs |
at her home as the car was passing, and |
she claims that it was running at an unu-
sually high rate of speed. Frank Cra-
mer, who was bathing near the bridge, |
states that the passengers were all sing
ing and in the most joyful mood as the
car passed near him.
The road, which is practically controll-
ed by the Bridgeport Traction company,
was opened for traffic last Thursday.
President Andrew Radell was in Derby
when he received news of the catastro-
phe, and he Immediately drove to the
scene.
He was completely Frustrated when he
saw the extent of the disaster.

GLOUCESTER. Mass, Aug. 5.-The
schooner Albert w. Black, from Harps-
well, Me-, which arrived here Thursday,
was leaking and had to put in to ascer-

examination, and hole was found on
the starboard side under the foreligging.
1t had been made by a swOrdtish, the
beak of which had penetrated the two
inch planking of the vessel and had been
broken off. The sword was so tightly
imbedded in the wood that the planking
had to be sawed out and new piece sub

HER PENCIL GAVE HER AWAY.
This Girl Betrayed Her Calling by
Wearing 1t in Her
Hair.

A girl attired in a white Marseilles
walked down the aisle of one of the
theaters one night recently with the air
of princess just in from her summer
palace. She was accompanied by a
young man who had an opulent appear
ance. The girl sank into an orchestra
chair, adjusted her glass, and tried to
look bored, while her escort glanced
at the boxes, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The women in the row back of the
two imposing young persons seemed to
be impressed. They studied the braid
ing on the girls white Elton jacket, and
furitively admired the scarf on her
sailor hat. They whispered approving
comments on the summer costume.
Then the curtain went up, and the girl
removed her headgear.
The leading lady had just appeared
when one of the women back of the girl
clutched her companions arm and
whispered:
CASH"
There was piercing scorn in her
tone that made it carry. The girl in
white heard it and systematically put
her right hand up to the coil of pretty
blonde hair. Then she flushed a painful
crimson.
Stuck among the shell hairpins was a
bit of lead pencil with piece of soiled
rubber in the end. The horrid women
who had envied her as the possible
daughter of millionaire had guessed
that she was clerk in a downtown de-
nartment store.

WHY HE WEPT.
His Mother Told the Chubby Urchin

watermelon-shaped body sat in a

shrilly.

Did hurt MYSELF" he asked.
YES" she answered.
"Where?" and he looked anxious.
ION the hand" his mother replied.
Master Chunk raised one cushion Of
hand to his head, and then, without the
slightest warning, he let up a roar that
would have made the bull of Bashan
green with envy. All the way up to
High street mamma was busy comfort
ing him. She had recalled a painful
to him and he wept-
wept the more loudly since there was no
present pain to distract his attention
And the woman across the car said
If he was her child he'd stop yelling or
she'd know the reason why.
