The Dean and the Lunatic.

Dean Stanley had great respect for presence of mind, and used with great delight to tell a story of presence of mind by which he liberated himself from a dangerous visitor. Since he was willing to see almost any one who asked for him, he once told his servant to usher into his study a gentleman who had called. and who happened to bear a nane which was familiar to him. When the gentleman appeared he proved to be an entire stranger. It was evident there had been some mis- take. This became stil more evident when, advancing with an air of great excitement, the gentleman exclaimed: Sir, have a message to the queen from the Most High. I beg that you deliver it instantly" "In that case, said the dean, taking up his hat, there is not moment to be lost. Let us go at onee." They went downstairs into the hall. and. opening the door, the dean requested his visitor to step out. No sooner had he done so than the dean shut the door behind the lunatic. ,gs sza1ass=ss= t,.-.....ss,

8srbarous Proceedings in Hungary.

Al
 An extraordinary story is reported from Komorn, in Hungary. The off, eials of the municipality of Mocsa, in the Komorn Comitat, are accused of having applied torture to persons im- prisoned on suspicion of theft. It seems that some time ago the safe of the municipality was robbed of nearly 5000 forins. Numerous arrests were made. but the thieves were not diseoy- cred. It was then that torture was applied to six of the prisoners, among whom are three women The mayor and councillors were present. The pris- oners were thrashed with red-hot iron rods, burning spirit lamps were placed under their bare feet, and the blades of pen knives inserted under their fin- ger nails. These barbarous proceed ings did not lead to the desired result and finally the thief, who was not among the six, confessed his guilt. Strange to say neither the mayor nor the worthy members of the council have yet been suspended.

 Many Are Ora duates.

The sleeping ear porters are gradu- ates of schools. The Pullman and Wag- ner companies have organized the schools all over the country. The schools are usually located in the de- pots. The equipment is but bare room, in which a complete sleeping ear berth is set up, with curtains, cush- ions and all, just as they are in the cars. After an applicant has been ae- cepted and assigned to duty he reports at the division office and is conducted to the schoolroom. Here, under the tutelage of one of the old porters he is shown tne proper and only method of making up berth, Then how to con- vert it back to a section, how the cur tains are folded where the pillows are placed, how the cushions are utilized, and all the mysteries of the craft. He is then trained in his duty to the pub lie and the public to him, and stands and rehearses before his tutor.-Phiia. delphia Telegraph.

RECORD or NINTH INfANTRY.
Within Two Years This Regiment Has Bat
tied in Cuba, Philippines and China.

The Ninth United States Infantry, which
lost so heavily on the 18th at Tientsin, in
China, is a regiment with history. A
regiment that within two years serves in
Cuba, the United States. the Philippine
islands and China, certainly will hold the
record for variety OF service. This is what
the Ninth United States infantry will have
done.
Organized first iorty.dve years ago by
act OF congress of March 3, 1856, the Ninth
infantry spent the first years OF its exist
ence in the northwest, keeping its eye on
the Indians and persuading them to be
good when occasion required. IL fought at
two battles famous in local history, the
battle of White river, Washingt on territory
on March l, 1856 and that OF Spokan (it
was spelled so in those days. on May II,
1858. Then it came east to take part in
the civil war. II served at Corinth in April
and May, 1862; at Murfreesborough In
December OF the same year; at Chickamau.
ga in September, and at Missionary Ridge
in November, 1868; at Reseca, KeDnesaw
Mountain, Peach Tree Creek and Atlanta,
in 1864; in 1866 ii was back in the north
west again and fought the Indians at Peno
creek, Dakota territory, first on July II,
and then on December 81 OF that year
and on August 2, 1867, it had battle
with the nations wards" at Pinery, in
Dakota.
The Ninth took part in the Sioux war oI
1876, fighting at Tongue River on June o
at the Rosebud on the 18th; on September
. It fought at the Slim Buttes in Dakota
it took part in the Powder river expedition
which lasted from October, 1876, unit
June 1871. In the Santiago campaign il
was part Of Wyckofi's (Thirdl brigade o.
the first division Of the Fifth corps and
took part in the battle OF San Juan hill
After the surrender Of Santiago, the Ninth
WAS chosen by Gen. Shaiter as the reg
ment to enter and occupy the city.
Soon after the occupation OF Santiago
the Ninth was sent back to the United
States, whence in March, 1899. II was sent
by way II SanFrancisco to the Philippines
where it landed on April 2Z and 2G. Ia
the Philippines it has been busy ever sine,
it got rid OF its sea legs. Ii served al
Cslooean and at San Pedro Macati, and
was in Lawton's expedition to Arayai
last autumn.
The ninth is in good shape for service /.

il is under.ofiicered, having forty.iour Off
