Thirty years ago, when the average
speed of passenger trains was very
much less than at the present day,
accidents were of such frequent oc-
currence that people declared that, to
insure greater safety, it had become
necessary to hang a director" In
1895, out of upward of 100000. 900
passengers carried on the lines of the
United Kingdom, only five were killed
one in 200, 900, ,0Oo-whereas the num-
Der of persons run over and killed in
the streets of London in a single year
was 25, or about one in 1000, 900 of the
population of the metropolis. Suppos-
ing that each individual of the $780,
COO of Londoners walked abroad each
day in the year, that would give q
total of 2,207, 100000 walkers against
1,G00,000000 travellers by railway, and
produces the remarkable inference
that, for every mortal risk incurred
by railway passenger, the walker in
the streets has to encounter f2 chances
of violent death.

A RETIRED BURGLAR.
He Tells About = Curious Mistake
About . Man That Cost Him
o Nights Work.

"When Hooked into the dining-room
of house that was in one night"
said the retired burglar, II saw a man
sitting in chair perched up on the
dining-room table. That seemed q
singular place for a man to git to set,
drunk or sober, but thought I'd have
to give him chance to get tired of
settin' there and 60 to bed before be-
gun, for If I didn't he might wake up
any minute ard interrupt things. So
i! toQk.a seat IL a big leather :Pair in
the library, next room, and waited for
him to wake up. When I'd waited what
l thought was reasonable time with
out hearing from him, I looked in
again, and there he was, still sittiu'
there, just the same.
"But this time, even in that light,
there was something peculiar about
him, and I ventured to turn my own
light on him now, and then saw that
1t wasn't man at all, but suit of
clothes, with a hat on top, set up there
to dry after being wet in the rain. The
man that had worn them had been
abed and asleep for hours, but his
clothes had served for a scarcecrow
mighty well, for I'd set there waiting
for 'em to go to bed 80 long that it was
now too late for business"

WAS A GOVERNMENT PLATE.
'sMonrOe Head" Engraving on 800
Counterfeit Bills Was stolen
from Vaults at Washington.

According to the story printed in the
Denver News the government secret
service officials here have just received
the information that the plate from
which the famous Monroe head" $100
counterfeit was printed, was not the
work of Taylor and Bredell, the con-
fessed counterfeiters, but was stolen
from the government vaults at Wash
ington, only the work printed in colors
being done by the men now under ar
rest. 1t is said the theft was perpetrat-
ed five years ago, but it was not until
recently that an expert engraver could
be found to execute the color work so
that the plate could be used. 1t is al
legged that the counterfeit revenue
stamps, which are known to have been
the work of Taylor and Bredell, are
not remarkable for cleverness, while
the counterfeit bill was so perfect as
to deceive the government experts, so
that the treasury department was COM
PEELED to withdraw the entire issue
from circulation. 1t is claimed that
the counterfeiters not only stole the
plate from the treasury vaults, but 900
sheets of the paper on which the notes
were printed.

SOLVES SERVANT PROBLEM.
why Wealthy Retired Merchant Ac-
cepted Resisnations of
His Force.

Augustus Knight, wealthy retired
merchant of st. Louis, has solved one
phase OF the servant girl problem. He
has been widower for ls years, and
his children, all grown up, welcomed
his marriage, few days ago, to an
estimable woman, also of ST. Louis.
He neglected, however, to secure the
consent of the servants of his house
hold, and when their new mistress was
introduced they retreated to the
kitchen to caucus. They passed leso-
lutions condemning the course of Mr..
knight, and rendered their resigna-
tions. They felt that they had been
sighted in not having been informed
of his having fallen in love. They
"whereased" that he had done so with
out their knowledge or consent, and,
In order to administer fitting rebuke,
they resolved" that the preservation of
their self-respect compelled their res
ignation from his employ.
Mrs. Knight wanted to temporize, but
Mr.. knight would not. He accepted
their designations, and new corps Of
servants has been installed. At an
"at home" Mr.. Knight announced that
he had solved the servant girl problem.

LAND FORCE OF NO AVAIL.
Naval Force Now the Defense OF
Great Nations-The Armies of
Different Nations.

The peace ablishments Of the
French, German and Russian armies
are at least 1,s5O.OO men, and perhaps
may be 1000, 900, ali highly organized.
Their war establishments might
amount to totals from 100000 to
100000 men. On the other hand, the
peace establishment of the British en-.
pire amounts to 100000 men--a part
of which is equally well, and another
part not equally we'll organized with
the European armies. The possible
war establishment of the empire has
never been seriously estimated. The
peace establishment of the United
States is under 10000 men, doubtless
well organized. Like the British peo-
pie, the Americans have never reck-
oned their possible war establish
ment, but evidently they could, if so
minded, raise it to a mighty strength,
says the North American Review.
But neither British nor American
leaders will, under the existing cir
cumstances, consider land force as c.
dominant factor in any worldwide
problem. Their thoughts will mainly
be turned to sea force. They will
anxiously inquire whether the sea
force of an Anglo-American combina-
tion would or would not compare
favorably with that of European
combination. 1t were needless to stop
and show that all the European land
forces would be of no avail against an
Anglo-American combination, if that
combination really possessed the mas
terry of the sea.

OUTDOES EDISON.
Young Chicago Inventor Succeeds In
Perfecting the Talking
Machine.

A Chicago man has given pointer
to Edison on talking machines. For
years the phonograph has been the
great wizards pet. He has spent all
his spare time in vain attempts to elm
mate the metallic, rasping quality of
its tones. Leon F. Douglass, young
Chicagoan, who looks about 20 years
old, has succeeded in doing this by
remarkably simple invention.
II worked for something like ten
years on it, and tried hundred COM
plicated arrangements, and then
very easy solution of the difficulty oc-
CURED to me-" said Mr.. Douglass.
He has enlarged the cylinder, or
"record," of the Edison machine five
times it's former size. BY this he ac-
complished two things-dispelAsed. in
great measure, with the unnatural and
harsh tone, and increased the volume
of it's original strength. The trouble
with the talking machines here
tofore has been that the little ball
which caught in the irregular tone
grooves of the cylinder would touch the
nlgH polnts anu SKIP tne low oues. lie
result was like picking out all the thin,
harsh tones of the human voice and
blending them into the phonograph
voice. Mr.. Douglass reasoned that by
enlarging the cylinder the size of ell
the points Of contact could be proper
tionately enlarged, so that the ball,
In passing over the recorded surface,
would touch each one. The result has
been very satisfactory. The machine
repeats words and music quite real
well.

STRANDED IN WASHINGTON,
Discharged Volunteer Army Officers
Seek Places in the Reg ular
Army.

Several discharged volunteer army
officers who are endeavoring to secure
appointments in the regular army fur
nish a counterpart for the army of
office seekers who become stranded in
Washington and move slowly but sure
ly down the toboggan slide of adver-
sity. Many of these officers came to
Washington Immediately after being
mustered out with the hope of securing
permanent positions in the army. Some
of them remained there, putting up at
the best hotels, hoping by some hook
or crook to land in the army. Grad
ually their funds became low, and, like
the ordinary Office seekers, they were
compelled to seek cheaper lodging.
They rapidly dropped from the first
class hotels to the boarding houses, be-
coming seedier in their personal ap-
pearnce all the time.
To-day there are number of these
unfortunates there who still cling to
their uniforms, but have discarded
their caps, shoulder straps, and but
tons, and have lost the military bearing
of few months ago. In these un-
fortunates few people would recognize
the military heroes Of few months
ago who marched home as a part of
the victorious army to the plaudits of
the nation and the folks at home. From
the present outlook none of them will
succeed in securing remunerative po-
sitions. and few soldiers who are
willing to serve their country will prob
ably join that great army which is
constantly talking about the ingrati-
tude of republics.

PROPERTY AT ARMY POSTS.
Danger That 1t VIII he Ruined
Through Neglect Owing to
Absence of Troops.

There is great danger that valuable
public property at army posts in this
country may be ruined by neglect. The
troops have been largely withdrawn
from most of the home garrisons, and
at many of the posts only detachment
of men remains. 1t is found that the
quarters, barracks, stables and store
houses are liable to decay as result
of inattention. Steps have been taken
by the war department authorities to
prevent this, and instructions have
been sent to department commanders.
