A PULLMAN WANTED.

It is probable that a petition will be
prepared and forwarded to the proper
officials of the Santa Fe asking that a
Pullman car be attached to the Su-
periOr branch train. running from Su-
lene Reflector. 1t is certain that it
would be greatly appreciated by busi-
ness men and travellers generally and it
surely would please Salina people

As it is now it is a back-aching,

It would greatly increase travel and
would be much better than any night

SIEGE ATA CONVENT.
Insane Woman With a Pistol Terror
ICES tho Dominican Brothers.

Louisville. KY, Oct. 23.-The Domin-
lean convent was the scene yesterday of
a siege which lasted upwards of an
hour. During the time the brothers
were behind locked and barred doors
while an insane woman with a pistol
paced up and down the corridors. The
woman was Mrs Mary Dugan. Such
a slamming and locking of doors was
never before seen in the convent, and
in moment the place was silent, save
for the impatient footballs of Mrs Du-
gan as she strode from door to door,
striving to gain admittance- Mrs. Du-
Ean was taken before Chief of Police

Father Logan had hypnotized her and
that his life must pay the forfeit. She
refused to be pacified and was finally
locked up in the county iaIl.

A NEW DESIGN.-Tho new silver

will soon be iss Ied, says Washington
letter. The portrait o. Lincoln will be
the central feature on the face. The
general scope Of tho design will be
similar to the new certificates for 81

as possible, in order to show the silk
threads and in making figures plain
and distinct. The black viii, be similar
TO the present 81 certificates, with o.
liberia display of white paper, but will
contain evou moro artistic lathe wO, k
done by machinery in tho Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing. The effort is
being made, in substituting new de-
signs for the present gracefully drawn
models, to secure simplicity and clear
ness. A large figure in each corner Of
the note, or at least ono at each ord.
has been carefully provided, in order to
facilitate the counting Of notes by CASH
iers, and much space has been left
blank In order to aid in the detection Of
counterfeits. The large, clear figures
also contribute to pre- vent raising tho
denomination Of notes. A 81 silver
certificate OF tho now designs recently
reached the secret service division of
the Treasury which had boon raised to
$40, in spite of the large, clear figure
Of the genuine note.

1T is the common belief that hu-
man ingenuity has devised no adequate
safeguard against the cyclones which
too frequently sweep over the Western
prairie country. The people of the
town of Ecnnessy, in Oklahoma, says
this is mistake, and that they have
discovered means OF defence which
no cyclone can get the better Of. They
have purchased four large cannon and
ptanted one on each side of the town.
A competent gunner looks out for the
pieces, and has instructions to load and
fire into any cyclone which may come
his way. 1t is claimed that he has
already saved the town taice by firing
promptly into the prospective destroy

that New Richmond and Herman were

The New York World says that
General and eX.United States Senator
Matthew @. Butler, Of South Carolina,
was In the city few days ago. He
gave to q reporter some interesting
opinions on Democratic national poll
tics.
In his eighteen years in the Senate
General Butler was always classed as
a free-silver man. He advised the
executive committee of the Democratic
silver conference Of 1895 to demand
'the admission of silver to coinage
with gold at 16 to l." At the Chicago
convention he said: "I am q free
coinage man, but | have become
alarmed at the extreme radicalism of
the silver people,"
General Butler was asked for his
opinion of the statement made by
Senator German, OF Maryland, which
has attracted such wide comment, and
he replied:
81 agree with Mr.. German in the
opinion that the 16 to l question should
not DO made Its chief issue by the De-
mocratic party next year.

"Then you do not believe that the

CURIOUS DIVORCE SUIT.
"A Remarkable Family OF Deaf Nut es
in New York State.

A family Of deaf mutes in New York
nearly all Of whose friends and rela-
tives are also without the senses of
speech or hearing, participated in q
remarkable suit broug ht by Mrs. Mary
Haight for q limited divorce.
The complainant is deaf mute and
go is her husband, Henry Jansen
Haight, a wealthy New Yorker. The
case, brought before Judge Hirsch-
berg at New burg, where the wife re-
sides, has been postponed until July /,
when u hearing will be had, with the
assistance Of an interpreter, in the
sign language.
The defendant has a residence at
No. lo5 Fifth avenue, splendid house
and park at his native place, Goshen,
N. Y, and house at Newport. He Ia a
millionaire. His wife says that he de
sorted her some time ago, leaving her
without means Of support. She sues
Tor separate maintenance.
A feature of the case Is that it bears
out with some emphasis the assertion
OF Professor Alexander Graham Bell,
the inventor Of the tele phone, that the
intermarriage Of deaf mutcs is Great.
ing a race that cannot speak or hear.
All the Haights are born deaf mutes.
The father OF the defendant, David
II. HalRnt, OF GOSnen, from whom he
inherited his millions, was deaf and
dumb, as were all his sisters and broth
ers. They naturally associated with
persons with the same DEFICIENCIES, and
O deaf mute became the wife Of Henry
Haight.
At the time Of the abduction of Char
Icy Ross the elder Haight adopted an
orphan boy who could speak and hear,
and his neighbors at Goshen believed
that the child was really the kidnapped
Charley. The notion. which, OF course,
had no basis, was not eradicated for
years.
The plaintiff in the divorce case ia
living in New York with her daugh-
tors, Mrs. Charles Hunt and Miss Flea
nor Haight, while the defendant, it is
said, is at New Jersey resort and
cannot be found. There are intimu-
lions that the suit may develop into
ono for absolute divorce with deaf
mute correspondent.
The defendant in the present suit is
o man OF wide attainments, an invcn-
tor and an electrician. He has soma
eccontricities, one of which led him to
spend $80 600 on mausolcum Of Italian
marble and granite in the Goshen
cemetery, under which his body will
some day repOse.

The Secret is to Have the Faculty of
Being Always Amused

Edgar 6altus in Golfers Weekly.
The Lancet has been discussing old
age. Here is q subj bject which interests
everybody. TO the young it is very
important. TO their elders still more
SO. The Lancet thinks that we live
longer than onr fOrefathers. The
thought is profound but, in view of
Methuselah, confusing. The Lancet
thinks too that old age can be pre-
vented. We are OF the same opinion.
BY way OF remedy an early demise has
always seemed to US sovereign. The
Lancet appears to prefer galvanism.
If it has tried it the result 10 not yet
apparent in its pages. Meanwhile the
Great sought in India and Ponce de
Leon in Florida is not forth coming,
therapeutically at least, for axiomatl-
cally we have it always with us.
An English specialist who died the
year before last, at an age which wSs
generally regarded US very young Tor
him, maintained that it consisted in
emitting everything which we like to
do and in doing everything which We
don't. We are convinced that he was
right. rhe things we like to do are
either wicked or injurious, unless they
happen to be both. Another specialist
ID German LnlS tlm0-malntaln In cd
that the secret of longevity consisted
in matrimony. In support Of his thesis
he gave the names OF fifty centenarians
all Of whom were widowers. q circum-
stance which showed, or seemed to,
not that matrinony is conducive to
longevity, but rather that tho man
VINO survives matrimony can survive
anything.
Then there was another specialist,
neither English nor German, but
French, who gave different receipt
to everybody. TO one he ascr ibcd his
green old age to the fact that he was
continually in his cups; to q second
he said it Was due to the exercise he
got out Of repeated assaults and bat
terry. A third was contidentially in
formed that there was nothing like
break fasting at midnight. And 80
forth and 80 on. The manufacture OF
this nonsense delighted him. He bad
d secret, though, and without suspect
ing it. 1t WAS the faculty OF being
always amused, and that, with entire
deference to the Lancet, we believe Is
the real one after all.
