Mrs. Potter's Snub.
Mss. James Brown Potter says she
does not care il she never comes back
to America, that her friends are dead
and that she has found her fame and
appreciation in foreign countries, rather
than in America. She says that her
principal memories of American tours
pertain to badly cooked food in uncom.
Portable hotels, etc. Mrs. Potter's re.
turn is not looked forward to with
eagerness. Her talent is forced and was
cultivated for the money and fame that
may be made by good actor rather
than from the inherent love OF literature
and life which must inspire a real
genius. Mrs. Potter deserves the sue
cess and recognition which she has won.
No harder working or more determined
actress lives. But she lacks the in
herent taste and feeling which charac.

the result Of perseverance and pains.

FELL FROM THE TRAIN.
A Hobo Fell Between the Cars
and Miraculously Escaped
Death

"Talk about your hair breadth es-
capes," said brakeman this morning,
L '-certainlv witnessed one early this
morning. When we arrived at point
near the smelter 1 went over tn e train
and came across man riding on top L
asked him what he.wassriding on and he
told me he pad nothing. [ asked him
to get off and he started to do SO, but in
some manner or other he slipped and
fell between the cars. 1t occurred
three car lengths from the caboose and
I made a run for the hindend expect
ing to see his mangled remains on the
track. Imagine my surprise
when the train passed to
him getting up and brushing the
dust from his clothes. He started in
the direction of town apparently unin-
!jured but 1 can not und erstand how he
escaped being torn to pieces. l told
the rest of the crew about it but do you
think that they would believe me? No,
sir Ishowed them the man walking
along the track and told them that he
fell between the cars but they only
looked suspicious and smiled.
OE'When we reached the city l report
ed the matter to the officials and &C.

statement. It is fact though, if I
ever told one, and L am certain that

Enqineer Killed.

News reached here last night that
Engineer Ed. Kehoe was killed in a
wreck on the Rascon mountain in Mex
leo. The incline is steep one and
from what can be learned the engine
became uncomfortable and went tear
ing down the grade at an awful rate.
The engine turned over and Engineer
KehOe was mutilated almost beyond
recognition. He was well acquainted
here and leaves q wife at Springfield,
Mo. He was for some time employed
as agent for the Continental Fruit
company in Fort Worth, Texas.

THE BLACK LIST

The Various Railroad Organization:
Have Made a Com bindtlOn and
Propose to Fight 1t In the
Courts-plenty of Money Be-
ing Subscribed-El paso Will
Get in Line.
For years past the railroad men
have been burdened with the "Black
list" system which was instituted by
claim as protection" When q man
violate the laws on one road and is
discharged all the other roads are no
titled and he Is unable to secure en-
pl0yment on any road. The man may
nave a large family depending on his
work for living but that matters not.
The agony of the wife and children
have no effectw hatever and the unfor-
tunate man is houndedsfrom one place
to another, and If he Is successful in
obtaining employment with some other
road under fictitious name the Job
will last only until be Is located by the
official who had discharged him from
The service.
Ills now the purpose of the railroad
organizations to subscribe money and
liz hI the "blsck list in the courts and
it is altogether possible that St. Louis
will be the battle ground. All the Or
ders have been contributing to the St.
Louis lodge and it is said that the fight
will shortly commence.
When approached on the subject
yesterday q prominent b. OF l.. 4. man
said: Yes sir, it is our Intention to
fight the black list to the bitter end.
Such b system as that Is disgrace to
our degree of civilization and 1t 1s to
the interest of all that i: be abolished.
s'The railroads are working 1t for all
jured thereby. On the Union Pacific
when q man asks for q clearance he 1s

it is worth until he looks through 1t.
If uron looking through the paper yen

able to work at railroading since the
strike of 1894 simply because they par
ticipated in the strike aud were blackl-
listed, Some of them came from the east
to 60 to work out here where
they were not known. They did work
but is was only for q short time. They
were located by the company by which
they were formerly employed and i'm
ediately they were told that they could |
work no longer. Such conditions are
unjust and should not be allowed to ex-
list in this free country. Ell Paso is
helping to supply the fund and there |
will be plenty of money on hand when |
the case Ia called in court. l am ex-j
pecting long and bitter fight but am
satisfied that it will terminate in favor |
of the working men and the black list |
will be declared illegal"

Counting the dancing notes in a bar
of sunlight sounds like n OF those
hopeless, never ending tasks with
which malignant fairies delight to
break the spirits of little heroines in
the German folk stories. Something
more than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing in any given portion of the atmos-
phere, and determine what portion of
these are dangerous germs and what
are mere dust.
DR.. Frankland's experiments have
shown us bow to count the micro
organisms, and now a Scotch scien-
list, by a totally different method, has
been enabled to take stock of the more
harmless, but hardly less interesting,
dust notes. Thirty thousand such
particles have been detected by him in
the thousandth of a cubic inch of the
air of a room. In the outside atmos-
phere in dry weather the same meas
urement OF air yielded 2119, whereas
after a heavy rainfall the number was
only 521.
That this power of prying into at
mospheric secrets will eventually yield
very important results must be OBJ
vious to all. Among the most curious
discoveries already made is the direct
and constant relation which exists be-
tween dust particles and fogs, mist
and rain.-Pearson's.

Thousands upon thousands of per-
sons handle our silver dollar, but few
happen to observe the lions head
which lies concealed in the represent
alton of the familiar head of Liberty;
frequently even a careful examination
fails to detect this hidden emblem of
British rule; but, as before, when
once found it is quite obvious. For
similar reasons it is a great aid in
looking for an object to know what to
look for; to be readily found, the OBJ
iect, though lost to sight, should be to
memory clear. Searching is a mental
process similar to the matching of a
piece of fabric in texture or color,
when one has forgotten the sample
and must Eely upon the remembrance
of its appearance. If the recollection
is clear and distinct, recognition takes
place when the judgment decides that
what the physical eye sees corresponds
to the image in the minds eyes; with
an indistinct mental image the recog-
milton becomes doubtful or faulty.
For correct and accurate vision it is
necessary to acquire an alert mental
eye that observes all that is effectively
visible, but does not permit the sub
%jective to add to or modify what is

The dreariest thing is wasted love.
A mai doesn't begin to love till his
passion becomes of age.
The more n woman studies finance
the surer she is that nothing makes a
thing so clear as a pattern.
Probably Cupid's success is due to
the fact that he has only one string to
his bow.
If there were no such thing as love.
there would be no such thing as music
in the world.
Whenever you see a self-made man
you can be pretty SURF it's more than
half some woman's fault.
No man achieves success as long as
he is a contradiction to himself, or as
long as he is not a contradiction to a
woman.
There are two women in the average
mans life-the he wants to
marry and the woman he wishes he
wanted to marry.
When a woman resolves to spread
sunshine and happiness around her
she begins by carrying a sad, wistful
look in her eyes and talking in a low,
mournful voice. New York Press.
