RUNAWAY WITNESSES.
They Don't Want to Testify In
a Dirty Damage Case From
Minerva.

Minerva sendsoup iherlsharesof sensn-
tional cases. All day Thursday an at
tempt was being made to get the case
of Vada Freed against Thomas Hay
nam on trial, but the nature of the case
was such that good many witnesses
did not care to testify and were slow
to come in, some demanding their fees
before reporting.
The case is for 500, 900 damages, and
the petition alleges that Haynam, Ia
various persons, and on many occa-
sions, made remarks indicating that
Mrs. Freed was not all that she ought
to be. The remarks alleged to have
been made were that she had numerous
gentlemen visitors and specific declara-
tons as to her misconduct are attribut-
ed to Haynam.
The defendant, on his part. denies
that he ever made use of the express
sions set forth in the petition.
Haynam was once before sued for
damages for SANDER by a cousin OF the
same name. and was mulcted In the
sum of $1,000; and some of the parties
who testified against him then are to
testify in this case.

"YOU Can NEVER TELL, :"

ElectiOn-.-Says He Was

A dispatch from New York last night
said:

1t was after 2 o'clock this morning
when he reached the Democratic club,

when he retired, for he talked the mat

oareworn, and there was lacking in his
mien the aggressiveness that is so char
'tresSed, and he spoke as If every word
was an effort.
How do you feel about the result of
the election?" was asked.
The Tammany chieftain gazed for a
few moments at the headlines on pa
per in his hand and then said: Feel?
! feel very bad. I couldn't feel worse. -
He shook his head as he spoke.
Are you greatly disappointed" was
the next question.

as he said: II am disappointed. I

CHEROKEE SENATOR BULLFROG
He Believes Most Of the Clients Of
Cheap lawyer Are in
Prison.

Senator Bullfrog was picturesque
figure at a recent session of the Chero-
kee congress. His raiment on this oc-
casion consisted Of a new pink calico
shirt with no collar, navy blue trousers
and heavy riding boots. Senator Bull
frog wore his spurs, and although he
understands the English language
quite as well as the whitest man in the
senate he addressed the president in
the Cherokee tongue. Atintervals Sem
ator Bullfrog paused in his speech and
spat with unerring aim at the stove,
while an interpreter repeated his argu-
ment in English. Senator Bullfrog is
something Of q philosopher. A certain
lawyer had offered to accept five per
cent. as a retainer for collecting claim
for the nation, and It was of this that
the senator from Goingsnake district
spoke. Senator Bullfrog declared that
cheap lawyers were not safe.
"They WILL" he said, "offer to re-
cover your hog for ham, but the
chances are you will never get the hog
and will lose an extra ham besides.
notice that most of the clients of cheap
lawyers are in prison"
This argument was uproariously ap-
plauded by all the other senators, who
sat with their chairs tilted back against
the wall, expectorating in the direction
of the stove.

AUTOBUSSES AND CHEAP FARE
of New York City in Competi-
tion with CrOss-Town Lines

Ten-cent stage fare will become a
feature of New York surface trans
portation July 1. This fare will be
between any two points on the stage
line, regardless of distance. 1t will
mark the Inauguration of plan to
substitute automobile stages for the
majority Of cross-town street car
lines. Six of the big stages are now
being constructed. and will be ready
to operate July /. In size they are
about equal to horse cars and will
comfortably seat % passengers. They
will be double-deckers, with spiral
staircase at the rear of the car. The
average speed of the buses will be
from six to ten miles an hour.
AS far as possible seats will be pro-
vided for all passengers. 1t is the in
tention of the company to limit the
standing passengers in each stage to
two or three, the idea being that these
will not have to stand long, because
seats are constantly vacated in the
ordinary course of travel.
The company that will operate the
automobile stages in New York is one
of series of similar organizations
which the Electric Vehicle company
has organized in Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Boston. The Whitney inter
est, the same that controls all the sur
face railroads of New York. controls
the Electric Vehicle company.

LINCOLN WOULD LET 'EM DO IT
Little Chicago Girl who Was sorely
Shocked at . Revelation Of
@ Slavery.

The epidemic of "coon songs" which
now RACES where once the milder "ne
gro melodies" were prevalent is doubt
less responsible for the befogged con-
dition of the mind of a seven-year-old
pupil in Highland Park school. The
birthday of Abraham Lincoln had been
made much Of in the primary depart
ment and the teacher had dwelt with
special emphasis upon the emancipa-
tion proclamation and the consequent
striking Of the chains from the negroes,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
Not long after the Lincoln celebra-
tion half an hour was given over one
day in accordance with school custom
to nature study. The teacher selected
the subject Of 'coons; told the children
how they prowled about at night and
stole the farmers corn, and how in
return the farmers set traps for them,
and, catching them, put collars on their
necks and chained them up to trees,
where they kept them captive. The
teacher became aware that little girl
in the front seat was looldng at her
with more serious expression than
the story seemed to call for. In mo-
ment hand went up and the little one
was on her feet.
Teacher" she said, II shouldn't
think Mr.. Lincoln would let 'em do it,
and, anyway, know my papa wouldn' I
dare try to put chain and collar on
our cook"

Australian Oysters.

The Journal of the Society of Arts
says that Australian oysters are cheap
and plentiful, being retailed in Sydney
at from siypence to one shilling per
plate or bottle. The consumption is
enormous, and lasts throughout the
year. The whole of the New South
Wales coast is admirably adapted for
oyster culture. Unlike the coasts of
Great Britain and even America, where
the temperature during the summer
months is frequently sufficient to pre-
vent the shedding of spat, and generally
to limit its quantity, the spat of New
South Wales is distributed in unlimited
profusion. Mr.. Coghlan, the New
South Wales government statistician,
says the establishment of ''parcs" like
those which may be seen along the
coasts of France and Belgium. where
oyster culture is conducted on scien-
tific principles, would be remunerative.
1t is said that the equipment for Sgd
ney harbor picnic would be considered
incomplete without the means of de-
taching oysters from the rocks. on
which they are found in myriads.

WILL USE ELECTRICITY.
To PrOpel Big Passenger Steamers on
the Seine at the Paris Ex-
position.

Passenger boats propelled exclusive
ly by electricity will make their ap-
pearance on the Seine early this
spring in connection with the Paris
exposition.
These novel boats. the trial trips of
which have proved wonderful sue
cess, have been built on the plans and
under the direction of French engi-
neer, Mr.. Pisea. for the company of
Suburban Omnibus Boats, which will
employ them, Notwithstanding their
luxurious equipment, for the trans
portation Of ordinary travellers at a
reduced rate. They will run at a
great speed, without noise or smoke,
and will be able to make nearly CO
miles without recharging, managed
by one man.
These boats will be charged by an
electric machine on the river bank at
Asnieres. in front of their mooring
station
Particular interest attaches to these
boats from the face that they are the
first devoted to the public service that
have been tried in Europe. If the en-
terprise proves successful, which there
is every reason to expect. it will revo-
lutioniZe river transportation.
