BABY RAN THE LOCOMOTIVES.
A Three-Year-Old's Trip Alone on an
Engine Running Wild.

Il can run an engine like papa"
said little 3-year-old Fred Evans as he
was lifted down from the locomotive
of the St Johns motor line yesterday al
AlDina, He had mounted the engine at
st. Johns, pulled open the throttle and
remained on the seat alone on a mad
ride of seven miles The young engi.
neer is the son of w. B. Evans. of st
Johns, an engineer on the motor line.
He had often been on the engine. and
his father had explained to him how
the lever is pulled and the wheels
started moving.
The engine lies over an hour at st
Johns, just by the water tank. and
during this time, VIII lie Mr. Evans was
at home at lunch, little Fred walked
down to the engine mounted the seat
and opened the throttle wide. The ma
chine was full of coal ami water. and
was ready for the road Several peo-
pie saw the boy start. but no one was
near enough to catch the engine. The
news was at once told to Mr.. Evans,
and he reached the track just in time
to see the locomotive, with his boy on
board, disappear around a curve. The
father was wild with grief and fear
and the boys mother was almost pros.
trated. The news spread like yilo
ire. and the whole town turned out.
Excitement was intense. women and
children cried aud men offered sugges-
tons. Master Mechanic Michael F
Brady was at that end of the line and
at once began to telephone to stations
along the line Portsmouth and PENN
sular were notified. and men at thes.
points tried to board the engine as II
dashed by, but its speed was too great.
Mr.. Brady also notified the Office at Al
oina. and party Of men ran out the
line northward TO meet the wind en-
CINE. In coming up the long grade
toward Albina, the steam had died
down little. but the register still
showed SO pounds. John Woods. a
motorman on the City and Suburban
railway, was the first man to meet the
engine. He caught the hand rail and
swung up, and in doing SO he was
dragged sixty or seventy-iye feet He

A GREAT PENSION STATE.
Indiana Leads in the Amount of Money
Received per Capita.

Indiana takes the lead as a pension
state. The annual statement of the
pension department has just been is
sued. In round numbers the states
drawing the highest pensions are Ohio,
with S15,000,0 900; Pennsylvania, s12.-
100000; New York, 10000 900; Indi-
ana, slO,OOO,OO0, and Illinois, $4,000, 900.
Indiana has $4,000 pensioners, who
draw an average pension OF a fraction
over $3.50 per annum. In the list Indi-
ana has 225 veterans of the civil war
who are drawing the limit of s72 a
month, and seventy veterans of the
civil war and one of the Mexican war
who We're drawing S. a month. In
number of pensioners and number of
high pensioners in the average for all
in the state, Indiana leads 2ny other
state in the union by broad margin.
Indiana, with population 10000 less
than that of Massachusetts, by the CEN
sus OF 1890, receives in pensions So
$4,000 annually, while Massachusetts
gets but S5.42O,O00. Similar COMPARE
sons will show that Indiana is the
greatest pension state in the union ac-
cording to her population.
Commissioner Evans has analyzed
the pension apportionment by congress
slonal districts, and that makes very
falr basis OF comparison. On this basis
Indiana shows clear lead, while Kan
sas comes in good second. The Indi-
ana pensions run $500, 900 per district.
Kansas s775,O0O. Among the states at
the front are Missouri with S44S, OOO
New Jersey with $4,000 and New
York with $352,OO0 per district. Mas
sachusetts averages $4,000 per dis
trlct. The average pensions in the five
leading states are $3.50 in Ohio, 1925 in
pennsylvania, $142 in New York, S16O
in Indiana and STAG in Illinois. Though
there is difference of $14 average be-
tween Indiana and Illinois, there are
over 5000 more pensioners in that
state. The difference in average, how
ever, gives Indiana pensioners 100000
more per annum. Though Ohio ranks
hrst as a pension state, still, like ILL
nois, on a basis of population and pen
sioners, it ranks below Indiana
Indiana was one of the states putting
the greatest number of men into the
Held. Among the states of the union it
stood fifth, with New York, Pennsyl-
Vania, Ohio and Missouri following.
lt put 2O6,O00 men into the field, and in
partial explanation of the great num-
Der of heavy pensioners, it can be said
that no other state of the union spilled
SO much blood and participated in so
many bloody engagements. Indiana's
war history is written in letters of
crimson on the soil of seventeen states.

LOVES PARSIMONY.

Give me the desert,
Why do they seek for place
In the bare hearts of men?
Why in loved ones face
Do they look again
For that which is lost.
For gain that is less than the cost7
Give me the desert.
Yes, my love is selfish.
She is splendid and fine;
But the desert is not selfish
All that it has is mine.
Give me the desert,
Let me live on the lips OF the sand.
On the parched cheek of it, worn
With my journey from Samarcsed
There is no fear OF scorn
In the smile Of the waste
NO last expectation misplaced.

father, because he was honest, and be-
cause he was opposed to Palizzolo's ac-
tions. The authorities knew it, but
they were afraid to prosecute him."
Raffaele Palizzolo.
Then before the public gaze pass the
questors, inspectors and journalists,
and all tell what was the voice of the
public. That voice, widespread and in
sistent, accuses Raffaele Palizzolo, the
head of the low Palermitan Malta" as
a Milan journal describes him, cap
able of crime, commanding this and
the other assassination"
Commentators Michele Lucchesi,
one OF the questors of Palermo, is
crushing in his lugubrious account.
The crime" he says, was commit
ted in revenge; the persons of the ram
road were not extraneous to it; the q
wounds on the body of the victim were
not given through the hatred OF those
who inflicted them, but in the hurry of
Ihastening the end of the unhappy man
and Of throwing his corpse into the
river, which would have borne it on to
the sea. have reason to believe that
the commander of the crime was only
one, only palizzolo, director of that
nest of criminals which is Villabate,
where he possesses property, and
where Giuseppe Fontana, fierce man
of fierce aspect, presumed author of
the crime, is one of the generals Of the
Malta"
Similar expressions of opinion or be-
lief were made use of by other questors.
Such are a few, very few, of the
horrors revealed to the world by this
trial in the belauded united Italy.
1T appears like a common sewer,
said one advocate of it. The Italian
government did not put the Malta
down, for it felt the desirability of al
lowing it to live "for electoral contests,
for political aims"
Such is the creditable picture Sicily
presents in the fortleth year of its
union with the purifying influence of
Italy.

THE MISSOURI MEERsCHAUM.

Some swear by light Havana leaf that's
rolled into cigars
BY swarthy Cubans' nimble hands be-
meath the southern stars;
And when they puff the fragrant weed
mayhap the curling rings
Show visions of fandangos gay and
stunning guitar strings;
| know not-but in truth i know my
Lady Nicotine
For me entertainments lovelier hath, de-
lights more kind and keen;
The pipe that grows in happy fields
where l so long to be
The old Missouri meerschaum, lads,
and that's the smoke for mel
So I'll smoke my corncob pipe,
And I'll dream of apples ripe
In the orchard by the road;
OF the fields of corn hoed
When my boyhood dreams were
born;
or the river flowing by,
And the waving woods anigh:
Let dilettante clubmen smoke the
choicest weeds they choose,
And lounging on their soft divans dis
cuss the daily news
The ebb and flow of market tides, the
social swirl and set;
Their flavor cannot soothe the nerves,
it cannot kill regret.
But shall sit me snug and close with
humble pipe and stem
To dream of loved ones far away-Pve
not forgotten them,
Nor yet the lowly farmhouse and the
fields of corn where grows
The old Missouri meerschaum. lads,
and that's the smoke that goes!
Oh, the lyric hilt of birdsl
On, the tinkle- tinkle-tink
OF the bell that leads the herds
Through the pastures! oh, the wink
or the daisy eyes that shine
In the meadows-all are mine;
And the kindly common folk
Beckon backward through the smoke.
So, not for me the Cuban roll nor that
which by brevet
OF courtesy is called a smoke-the soul-
less cigarette;
II any dreams it conjures up l doubt
not they are sprawn
Or hideous hells whose lunacy and
leering idiots yawn!
l choose the graduated weed and press
it in the bowl
OF this the only pipe that hath an in
diyidual soul
The sentient soul of growing corn in
fertile fields afar;
The old Missouri meerschaum, lads. il
beats the best cigar,
Oh, its visions void and guile!
Oh, the simmer and the smile
OF the sunshine on the grain
Gathered in the creaking vain
Rolling BARNARD! oh, the wealth.
VI the heart-ease and the health
Oh, the jolly, holy joy
or the memories of boy,

NOT AN OBSOLETE SHIP.
Norfolk Navy Yard Officials Resent
Criticism of the Texas.

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. THE press de-
spatches from Washington recfting that
1.-The battleship Texas is about to be
passed upon by board Of survey at the
Norfolk Navy Yard to determine whether
it is worth while to spend any more money
on this obsolete type OF ship" was pro-
nounced nonsensical at this yard today. 1t
swas said at the yard that the Texas. which
was completed !; t the Norfolk Navy Yard
in 1894 and which under the command OF
the late Captain Philip so well demon
strated her effectiveness on the occasion
of the defeat OF Admiral Ceryera's fleet OFF
Santiago. could not properly be elassed
among vessels OF an obsolete type.
1t was explained that survey had been
ordered and will lie held on the battle
ship tomorrow. Should it appear that the
ship needs repairs which will not take
more than three or four weeks to COM
plete the repairs will be made at
once. II is believed at the yard that the
survey will result in ascertaining that
the batueship may be repaired within a
month About the yard where the Texas
was built great umbrage was taken at tho

ORE FABULoUSLY RICH.
4 Remarkable Gold Strike Made in a
Montana Mine.

HELENA, Mon, Oct. THE richest
gold strike made in Montana for many
years is reported at the East Pacific
twelve miles from Helena. 1t was made
by R. A Bell. of this city. The ore is SO
rich that miners are searched upon leav-
ing the mine and the property is guarded
by armed men to prevent theft. The
present strike runs from $50 600 TO $4,000
gold ton The discovery was made in
drifting No tunnel, which is now over
1000 feet underground, and at a depth Of
about 800 feet, showing that it increases
in value with the sinking.
Pieces of ore are exhibited by Mr.. Bell
that are at least one-half solid gold The
East Pacific has already produced up
wards of 81, 500. coo in gold. and this new
strike will undoubtedly add enormously
to the production of the mine. The ore
shoot in this mine is one OF the longest
in the Western country. the pay shoot
disclosed in No. tunnel being over $500
feet in length. The vein is not wide
one but its remarkable persistency and
extreme length make il one OF the great
mines of this section.
Several months ago one Of the leasers
took out q carload of ore that returned
them $20.0oO for the car. The ore is at
times Of low grade. and again of exceed
ingly high grade. Several times high
grade shoots have been discovered, but
nothing like the present strike has been
made il this State for many years.

The Strike Sifunfinn.

President iitchell's promise that he will
call a miners convention, probably within
a few days. is accepted in some quarters
ITO mean that settlement of the gEsat an
thracite strike is in sight. Probably it
would be premature to make that deduc-
tion just yet. II the miners generally
should decide in convention that they are
satisfied with an advance of ten per cent
net on the present price for cutting coal,
and are also satisfied that the Coal Trust
will deal fairly with them, they have only
10 notify their organization and its chief
will call the strike off
II is not plain al this moment that the
strikers will be- content with the terms
offered by the trust and outside operators
who so far have made overtures. To this
time the strike has been so success sfui, and
has received so much hearty public sym
patty, that II may be doubted IL a majority
of those who are out would feel willing
thus early to compromise, which would
bring them but a moiety of their de-
manas, leave what advantage they have
gained at the mercy Of their oppressors,
and generally br,ag them back TO where
they were before they laid down their
tools.
No doubt, to many OF the men. a ten
per cent increase would be welcome. and
a sufficient temptation to return to work;
but. as far as we have seen, no time has
been set by any of the operators during
which they undertake to maintain the ad-
vance. They might not choose to pay it
after the Presidential election, at which,
time the political pressure from Hanna and
the syndicated trusts in New York would
be removed. In such an event the miners
would have bad their struggle for nothing
They are too intelligently led, we presume,
TO agree TO any settlement which would not
reasonably secure the maintenance Of their
advantage, whatever that might be. for
year at least. AS the Coal Trust is I'M
questionably fighting to concede as little
as possible, and for as short a period as
possible. the chances would seem to be
that capital and labor in the anthracite
field are not as near an accommodation as
Republican hopes and fears would have US
