PEPYS' OLD HOUSE.
rFrom the London Sketch

"Pepys' old house for sa1e'' A cur
iously fascinating announcement for
any one who has enjoyed the garrulous
little secretary's gossip in the inimit-
Samuel Pepys, dapper and debonair in
his suit with great skirts, as always
dangling about great people and gossip
ing, more or less maliciously about the
Merry Monarch" and the. fair, frail
beauties of his dissolute court and
times. 1t is, therefore, a little piquant
with the quaint old house known as
The Lordship, COttenham, near Cam
bridge, which is now in the market, to-
gether with some five cottages, for sale
ceptional historical value" And yet,
town ruffler that he was, the connec-
ton of Pepys with the little Cambridge
shire village is indisputable. On June
II, 1867 we find him recording in his
Diary: 4 met Roger Pepys, newly
come out of the country; in discourse
he told me that his grandfather, my
great-grandfather, had $500 per an
mum in Queene Elizabeth's time in the
very town of Cottenham. and that we
did certainly come out of Scotland with
the Abbot of CroWland'' A little later
he says: Roger Pepys told me that
when | come to his house he will show
me decree in Chancery wherein there
was twentysix men, all housekeepers
in the town of Cottenham in Oueene
Elizabeth's time of our name.' Pepys
was educated at Cambridge university
all the world knows. and one record
of his career is preserved in the regis
ter of his college: Oct. ,2I, 1853 Mem
That Peapys and Hind were solernnIy
admonished by myself and Mr.. Hill for
having been scandalously overserved
with drink We night before" Scandal
ousIy overserved' is delightful The
house has beautiful old staircases and
firep1aces, and altogether it would seem
to offer a unique opportunity to lovers
of the historically interesting in com
bination with the rural and remunera-
tive.

STANDS BY SMITH.
Lawrence Newspaper Defends Him
Against Doodle Charges.

The Lawrence World says of the re-
cent suit commenced in that city by
w. L. Tutwiler. a book agent against
F. P. Smith and the charges made by
Tutwiler:
"A suit has been brought in the dis
trict court here to recover $500, alleged
to have been paid by W. L. Tutwiler to
F. P. Smith to influence favorable ac-
ton on the consideration of the Pea
body charts when the state text book
commission was in session.
1.-The action is denounced by Super
intendent Smith as blackmail pure and
simple. The petition was filed last
night and it recites that W. L Tut
wiler, the agent of Evans & Co., paid
to F. P. Smith the sum of $500, to use
to adopt chart; if not the money was
to be returned. The chart was not
adopted and Tutwiler alleges the mon
ey was not returned, hence the suit
1.-The suit is looked upon as blackmai1
and the public here will take Mr..
Smiths side of the controversy.
superintendent Smith declares that
he never received any money from
Tutwiler for any purpose whatever and
that he is singled out for some reason
by the combine on the book business.
He states that he acted from the purest
of motives throughout and never
dreamed that there was the slightest
suspicion attached to his actions.
There do not seem to be any wit
nesses to the alleged transaction and it
will come to a case of veracity between
liens and lifelong educator, and the
book agent whose business is always
questionable and who is clearly trying
to square himself with his house for his
failure to secure contracts.
Superintendent Smith refuses to dis
cuss the case further than to say that
he never received a cent from Tutwiler
for any purpose whatever. Geo. J. Bar
ker, superintendent Smiths attorney,
says that Tutwiler has laid himself LA
BILE to criminal prosecution in addition
to being a blackmailer. He has con-
fessed that he violated the state law
to influence favorable action on his
books Mr.. Barker does not think there
will be any trouble in beating the case.
1.-The friends of Superintendent Smith
feel sorry that he is in such place but
they do not blame him in the least.
They know the kind of people he has
had pulling and hauling at him the past
two weeks and have every sympathy
for him and confidence in him. Mr..
Smith states that he was approached
several times to make settlement but
he had not done anything wrong, had
not taken any money and OF course
had nothing to SETTLE.

RAILROAD TARDY.
Old Judgment Against Santa Fe Still
Unpaid.

An aDplication has been made by A
A. Hurd as attorney for the Santa re-
to remove to the federal court a case
which has been under litigation for the
past eight years, and which has been IN
the Kansas supreme court at two differ
ent times 1t was brought against the
railroad company in 1891, before the
road went into the hands of receivers,
by Mrs. Allie May Henry, who is now
Mrs. Allie NJ. Goodwin of Topeka.
Frank D. Henry, Mrs. Goodwin
former husband, was an engineer on
the Santa Fe in 1891, and at the time
the accident occurred which resulted in
his death his engine was pulling a
freight train on a branch which runs up
to Hollywood in Ellsworth county. At
one point out there on the prairie
farmer had tried to take binder across
row and the binder stuck, and the
farmer could not get it one way or the
other. 1t was in this position when
Henry's engine came around a curve
and struck it. The engine was thrown
from the track and Henry was killed.
Mrs. Henry filed a suit in the Usage
county district court against the rail-
road company asking for damages in
the ground that the company was re-
sponsible for the binder being on the
track, because it's crossing ought not
to have been so narrow Mrs. Henry
secured a judgment in the Usage cOun-
ty court for $3.50, but the company APP
pealed the case to the supreme court
and secured a new trial. In 1897 another
judgment was rendered Tor the plalHIlIL
for $4,000, and again the railroad COM
pany appealed it to the supreme court,
but without success, for the judgment
of the lower court was affirmed.
But the Judgment has never been
paid. While the litigation was pending
the road went into the hands of re-
ceivers and was sold under a fore
closure. There is some dispute about the
liability of the reorganized company for
the accrued interest, and for that rea-
son the judgment is still unsatisffed-
Waters & Waters are the attorneys
for Mrs. Goodwin. and they recently
filed an action in Usage county for the
collection of the judgment, and it is
this action which the railroad company
asks to have Transcribed to the United
States circuit court

TELL-TALE CLAY PIPES.

IF'rom the London Standard
A vast number of clay pipes have
been found under conditions which
seem to prove that they were deposited
long before Raleigh's birth; and a pipe
of early date is SO utterly unlike the
modern form that these could not have
been dropped by laborers of the present
day. At an antiquarian meeting many
years ago old gentleman told how
his grandfather used to give him cop
pers for wading into the Pool Dam at
New -under-Lyme to gather
''buck-bane," which the veteran smok-
ed to relieve asthma That reminis-
eence carries us back a century and a
half, and it is probable that buck-bane
had been used for asthma time out of
mind
If people were already familiar with
the practice of smoking herbs we
should have an explanation of the as
tonishing rapidity with which they
took to tobacco. 1t may be noted that
Cartier found the Indians of HOchelaga
on the ST. Lawrence, smoking an herb
which we recognize from his descrip
ton as 1obelia, as well as tobacco. His
sailors did not care for the latter, but
the former met with their approval
from the first; for it was "as good as
drink to them. The medicine men
smoked lobelia before prophesying, and
under it's effect they raved. Has this
property of the weed been tested by the

All hail to these our gallant dead,
Who conquered fields of glory;
Who marched, and fought, and fell and
died,
Mid carnage grim and CORY.
A hundred years ago and more,
On fields of death and slaughter,
Our fathers and their brothers fought
With foes from DER the water.
From old New England's rocky hills
The British found their masters,
And in the southland's swamps and
dells
In after years rude treason rose
And boldly stood before US,
And we were bowed beneath the blast
Its deadly breath sent DER US.
And treason's whirlwind swept theland;
In fury swung it's lashes;
We shuddered meath the dreadful
And awful lightning flashes.
And when twas past, behold the slain,
The wreck and ruin left us,
The hearts that bled Ger heaps of dead
Well nigh of hope bereft u.s.
But quickly out of all this wreck,
And up from this disaster,
The nation sprung; and only seemed
To run it's course the faster.
And yesterday-of years we speak
To free our island neighbor,
The north and south and east and west,
Did all together labor.
And now, upon the graves of these,
Who fell in line of duty,
And who beyond the grave join hands
We lay these flowers Of beauty.
And from these flowers may there
spring
A bush so pure and vernal
That on it's branches it shall bear
The rose of peace eternal.

First Suit Against a Railroad
Before Court of Visitation.

"a suit has been filed by the solicitor
Of the court of visitation.
1t is against the Frisco railroad and
is the first case brought again a rail-
road company since the court was Gre
ated.
The suit is brought to compel this
company to reopen the depot and place
an agent in charge of the station at
New Albany, Wilson county.
The petition recites that New AL
bany has population of 300; is located
in a fine agricultural country and will
furnish business sufficient to more than
pay the expense of the company in
maintaining an agent at the station.
The company does not now stop it's
trains at that point and the petitioners
recite that they are compelled to go
seven miles to Fredonia or Fall River
to get on a train.
Solicitor Wyatt prepared the papers
at his Wichita office and Sheriff Sim
mons of Sedgwisk county will serve the
writs. The court has not yet appoint
ed a marshal hence it is necessary to
call a sheriff to aid in carrying out the
preliminarieS of the first suit filed.
When business improves a marshal will

Deaf and Dumb Brakeman.

TFrom the New York Press.1
Probably the only deaf mute who
ever held a position brakeman on a
railroad has just resigned his job on
the Maine Central. He is s. J. Sterrett,
known to all the freight crews as
Dummy and he has been in the rail-
road business for many years. AL
though he could not hear a sound or
speak a word, he was acknowledged by
the conductors and the officials of the
road to be much more efficient in the
discharge of his duties than many 9TH
ers who are gifted with speech and
hearing. In all the years of his service
for the road he never met an accident
of any kind.
He was born in Bangor, and amused
himself in his boyhood in the railroad
yards by throwing switches, coupling
cars and doing other work for the
yardmen- When he was eighteen years
old he was appointed brakeman on a
freight train running between Bangor
and WaterViIle- He went on as middle
man, and was soon promoted to the
head end.
There he had difficulty in making the
engineer and fireman understand him,
and he was transferred to the caboose.
He was still holding that position when
he resigned last week.
While he was acting as head brake
man the station agents along the line
had trouble in understanding what
Dummy was endeaVoring to tell them
in the mute signs. He would jump off
a train and run to the agents, who
would wave their hands at Dummy"
thinking he could tell by their motions
what cars were to be moved But
Dummy took no chances on making
mistake, neither would he waste time
with the agents. He would quickly pull
out pad and pencil and have the agent
write what he wished to say, and the
work was soon done
Many agents along the line learned
the deaf and dumb signs, and passen-
gers waiting for trains have been much
amused to see Dummy jump off the
train and converse with the agent in
the sign language. He could tell by in
stinct the whistle of locomotive when
it was mile away. While in the
buggy, if the engineer should whistle
for down brakes, Dummy would jump
from his seat and tighten up the brake
while the others in the car had not
heard a sound.
If anything was wrong with the train
Sterrett was one of the first to know
about it, and was usually the one to
locate the cause In many WAYS he
was quicker in detecting trouble than
the rest of the crew. When the train
was waiting on a siding Sterrett could
tell if another train was coming even if
1T was a mile away. He would often
notify his companions of the fact al
though they had not heard a sound
Sterrett is now living in Lewiston and
his friends say that he may soon return
to railroading.
