In the days of the chestnut bell lot
Of us were waiting at Gardiner for the
art Of the Sagadahoc for Boston and
one Of the men began telling about his
experience on a wrecked vessel in mid
Atlantic. Near by. on passengers
trunk sat a pale-faced, weary-eyed
young man Of % summer who was 60
inc down tO the islands With his ma.
He wore a chestnut bell. and this was
perhaps the first time he had had a
chance to ring it. The gentleman was
proceeding with his tory when ting-a-
ling went the bell. He stopped and
looked around, and then continued. but
after half a minute the young man
belled him up again. The man looked
annoyed. but went on, and during the
quarter of an hour he was talking that
bell rang about Is times. When he had
finished he looked over to the weary
young man and asked:
What is that ben for?''
"Chestnuts," was the reply.
How do you mean?"
why. you know, when you hear any
thing old you-tinga-ling on the bell.
"Oh, you do. l guess I'll try it once.
He got up. shook the young man out
of his coat and collar at the first shake,
| and then whirled him around, ended
him up. and gave him a toss over
| heap of baggage. The bell boy got up
covered with dust and a wreck, the
| bell broken by the shock. and his col
lar hanging by one end. and as he dis
! appeared into the ladies' room we
heard his mother exclaim:
| why, darling, didn't l warn you to
| look out for the locomotive?'
| And the man who had told the story
| added:
| Best to take such cases at the start
| and administer strong medicine. He
might have rung that bell on somebody
who'd have got mad and damaged him
beyond repair"
| An eX-Captain of volunteers was en-
tertaining a few friends in an office in
Portland with some of his army adj
ventures, when new arrival listened
for q moment and then interrupted
with:
/ Excuse me, captain. but how is it
when a man is in battle?"
How do you mean?"
Does he have time to think of out
side matters?

is going on around him.

Bones Exhamsd by Tornado.

Elizabeth, \. J., Aug. ga tor
nado 1000 feet wide, which struck
the city yesterday, blew down three
church steeples, swept away portions
of the roofs of two theaters, tRisted
one house a quarter of the way
around on its foundation, uprootod
trees and laid bare the bones of
skeletons in one churchyard, and in
all did about Sl50,00O worth of
damage. Ne lives were lost and no
one was injured.
One OF the strange freaks Of the
storm was the laying bare of the
grave of Mr.. Hatfield, former
magistrate of Elizabeth, who died
in 1872. Parts of the wood of the
coffin adhered to the roots of tree
which had been uprooted. Several
other graves wete disturbed, leaving
visible the dead.
Several persons were killed by
lightning during the storm after il
had progressed beyond this city.

WEALTH IN SIGHT.
Story That Reads Much Like a Ro-
nance.

AKRON, O., Oct 23-As the result of
a decision made in the New York court
of appeals David R. Paige, formerly con-
gresham from the district, and now liv-
ing in New York, and his brother, City
Commissioner A. T. Paige, of this city,
will become rich once again.
The troubles of David R. Paige, about
ten years ago, are historical. The Paiges
and Gen D. M. Carey, Of Cleveland, COM
posed the firm of Paige, Carey & Co.,
which had contracts for six miles of the
Croton aqueduct in New York city When
the work was concluded claims for about
S,000,000 for extras were thrown out and
payment was refused Of this. amount
Paige, Carey & Co. held nearly 81 100000
On top of this came the explosion re-
garding over 100000 worth of paper given
by Dr. Paige, and bearing the indorse-
ment of millionaire John Huntington. of
Cleveland. Huntington was on his death
bed in Europe, and died before he could
testify whether the notes were genuine.
After hts death his executors refused to
honor the notes, claiming that the in
dorsements were forgeries Paige fled to
South America. In 1895 he returned and
compromised the Huntington notes for 90
per cent in cash and 80 per cent in new
notes secured by the claims held against
the city of New York. He then devoted
all his energies to securing decision in
the courts in regard to the aqueduct
work. test case was finally pushed
through, and the decision is now from the
court of last resort.
After all the obligations of the Paiges
are paid a comfortable fortune will be left
for each, and for the widow of Carev.
who was killed by fall several years
ago.
