REPORT OF A FREAK RAILROAD.
A Nantucket improvement Which Comes High 10
Passengers Would Delight flnnIgan.

There is a railroad on the island OF
Nantucket which would delight Finni-
gan's own heart. According 20 the an-
nual report of the Nantucket Central
railroad, rec emily issued, it is wholly
run by practical men. Ii runs IRON
Nantucket 60 Slasconset, though ma
tive OF the island would not recognize
the latter name except In the abbre-
Waited form of Sconset. The road is
nine miles long, has a three-foot guage
and accommodates two locomotives ana
ten cars. According To this report, says
the Railway Age, 2i0 round trips We're
made during the year from Nantucket
10 'ScOnset. only one trip did pas
senger refuse TO pay his fare, ana in
this case the conductor after arguing
ths matter half way 10 'Sconset, ran
back 20 Nantucket and elected the pas
scngor. Only one pass is issued, 10 the
proprietor of the road.
4 New York exchange wakes face
tious over this report, and has cuiled
some OF the gems, as follows;
"rhe conductor is also general man
ager of the road, train dispatcher ana
division superintendent. The engineer
Is master mechanic, chief of trans
portation and overseer of the roadbed.
The fireman drives the express wagon
between trips, keeps the books and dis
the IS miles costs so cents for the pas
senger and another so for his trunk A
second truck Is carried for 30 cents and
a third for 20 cents, but as the schedule
allows for only three trunks, the con-
ductor ruled last season that AT the
fourth trunk he must begin over again
at so cents.
The report says that twice during
the year. owing TO the absent minded
ness OF the engineer in not taking on
| coal enough at Nantucket. the plsssn-
| gers were forced To walk along the
| beach and pick up driftwood enough 70
! steam to 'Sconset. One trip was
| missed, as the conductor, who does not
| like cats, refused to carry the feline
| pet Of a departing family a novelty
| introduced has been the entire abolition
| of the steam whistle. partly because or
| it's waste OF steam and partly because
| il frightens the bluefish off shore
Another interesting feature which
| does not appear in the above is the fact
| that the sea sometimes performs the
! duties of the engineering department
| and rearranges the location of the line
| without consultation with the manage
! ment But this is in the line with the
! practical system of operation in all de-
| partmentS.

Some time when o'clock teas were

tea parties at the home OF Mrs. Molloy
and other residents of Back street.

Mrs. Moiloy's tenement and there they
found one of the Molloys standing with
an axe i'm elevated position and anolhff
one of the family with spade. The
two Molloy lads quickly put their
weapons OF offence and defence down
when the officers bade them 10 do 50.
The officers were then Informed by
Mrs. Molloy that her sons had broken

BEN FRANKlINS EDUCATION.
Only Two Years Of His Life Spent al School.
Learned Without a Teacher.

Few men. have known moro thar
Benjamin Franklin. yet few have had
less education. In the common sense of
the word. For not more than two'years
cat the age of 5 To l0) he went to q
grammar school and "A private school in
Boston; for the other four-scorc years
and more OF his life he learned without
a teacher. slis fathers library was
small. but the lad himself spent the lit
tie money that came into his hands on
seerious books and pamphlets, says the
Century Magazine. Having proved
deficient in arithmetic i'm his early
youth, he afterward made special
study of mathematics. and for some
time amused himself by constructing
all sorts of magical squares and circles,
with rows OF figures that would add up
alike whichever way they were count
ed. IN this connection. AIR. Ford-a
self-educated man himself, In that his
only school was his fathers immense
private library-has this TO say:
His own experience served TO teach
Franklin that a strong mind needs no
schooling to develop il, and that a poor
mind is not strengthened by study.
Poor Richard made merry over the
many witty men whose brains cannot
nh their bellies and Of those who would
live by Wits, but for want of stock
a learned blockhead is greater
blockhead than an ignorant one he
asserted. and claimed that of learned
fools | have seeen ten times ten; of
unlearned wise men, have seen a hun
dred' Yet Franklin was far from
showing the usual contempt of the self
taught man for an academic education
ON his settling in Philadelphia hc
found two things which | regretted.
and one of these was there being no
provisions for the complete edu-
cation of youth o" 1 therefore IN
1743 drew up a proposal for establishing
an academy"
The academy was duly founded; but
i'm time it became hotbed of politics
and its rector an active opponent OF
Franklin himself.

SAW THEIR COMRADES COOKED.
A Feast For Solomon Island CannibaIs Provided by
the Sea Ghosts Crew.

Mail advices from the South Pacific
islands, via Japan. give details of the
scutting of the schooner Sea Ghost by
Solomon Island cannibals last October.
The cannibals killed all the crew of the
schooner with the exception OF two
men, who had a remarkable escape.
The Sea Ghost was owned by her
master Capt. Kohlsohn, who sailed
from Queensland with a crew of ten
men late in September for Buka., an
island of the German Solomon group,
to procure "a cargo of copra. The two
survivors reached the Australian coast
recently. They said that Capt, Kohl
sohn arrived at Buka at night The
next morning five or six native boats
came alongside and in a few moments
the vessels mate and crew were talk
ing and making signs to the islanders.
Several members of the crew went be-
low TO secure goods for trading pur-
poses. when 30 natives suddenly jumped
on deck and attack the sailors remain
ing above deck with knives. All the
sailors were killed but three. One of
these jumped overheard, swan ashore
and was taken prisoner. His two sur
viving comrades were bound hand and
foot Capt. Kohlsohn was dragged
from his cabin and run through with
spears
The natives then went ashore with
their prisoners and took the dead sail
ors with them. The two prisoners were
left on the sands while the islanders
prepared 10 eat the bodies of their
comrades While this feast was being
made ready several natives went out
To the schooner and found a barrel of
liquor i'm her cabin I'm short time the
entire party became stupidly drunk.
The two sailors managed to free them
selves from Nthe thongs which bound
them, jumped into a small boat and put
TO sea. After floating helplessly about
for two days they were picked up by Il
trading vessel, which carried them to
| other islands from where they finally
! secured massage for Australia. Before
| proceeding to get intoxicated one party
! of natives unloaded part of the Sea
| Ghosts cargo and then scuttled her.
