Eugene, eldest brother of BENZ.
W. Snodgfass of this city, met
with an accident at Trinidad last
Tuesday evening which cost him
his life. He in company with his
father was driving a COW a couple
of miles out of the city, when the
broncho which he was riding be-
came frightened and bolted. Be
fore the horse could be got under
control it had run into a wire fence
and was thrown, carrying its rider
with it. The unfortunate man
sustained a fracture of the skull at
the base of the brain, and died
about an hour Inter without regain
ing consciousness. He WAS 27
years of age and leaves n young
wife. Gene visited Crested Butte

why Men Should Marry.

1t was clearly meant that all men,
rs well as all women, ahouli marry.
and those who, fer whatever reasoI4
nsiss this obvious destiny are, from
natures point OF view, failures. The
unmarried man is a skulker, who, in
order to secure his own ease, dooms
sose woman, who has rightful claim
upon him, to cslibaey. And in doing
SO he defrauds himself of the oppor-
tunitfes for menttA and moral deYelop-
msnt which only the normal expert
ence can provide He deliberately
stunts the stature of his manhood,
impoverishes his heart and brain, and
chckes up all the sweetest potentiali-
ties of his soul. To himself he is apt
to appear like the wise fox that de-
tects the trap, though it be ever so
cunningly baited; that refuses to sur
render his liberty for the sake of an
appetizing chicken or rabbit which
may after all be a decoy stuffed with
sawdust; while, as a matter of fact,
his case is that of the cowardly serv-
ent in the parable. who, for fear of los
ing his talent, hid it in napkin. and
in the end was deemed unworthy OF
his stewardship

Engine Cut Bell Rope in Half.

When Coils p. Huntington was presi-
dent of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
company, J. X. Murray of the vice-presi-
dents staff, with Capt. Rogers, Il Cali
fornia railroad official, was with him on
his private car, relates the Chicago
Chronicle. Capt. Rogers had been of
fered the general managership of the
road by Mr.. Huntington, and was going
over the line. The train stopped and Il
switching engine was attached to the
end of Mr.. Huntington's car to pull it
out.
At that moment the party on the car
was breakfasting, and Mr.. Huntington
was seated at the table nearest the door
deftly carving a steak. The switching
engine had been coupled to the other end
of the car and started off, and it hap
pened that the brakeman forgot to I'M
couple the bell-rOpe between the car and
the rest of the train, So as the switch
ing engine pulled the private car away
from the train the rope stood the strain
until it became taut and then broke with
Il rebound that sent one end with terrific
force into Mr.. Huntington's car The
flying rope, with it's metal end graZed
Mr.. Huntington's head and shattered the
meat platter i'll front of him. He quietly
began to pick UP the fragments and Capt
Rogers remarked:
''That was narrow escape, Mr. Hunt
ington.'
The railroad king, with his manner I'M
changed, replied:
Il don't know, captain. / would have
felt pretty mean if one of those new
switching engines of ours couldn't pull

Deceived Her Audience.

Many interesting stories have been re-
lated anent Mime. Modjeska, the re-
nOWned actress. The following in An
swers is characteristic: ''On one occa-
sion when she was visiting at friends
house the conversation turned to the sub
ject Of her native Poland, and she spoke
enthusiastically of its musical language
and its beautiful and pathetic ballad
poetry. The other guests finally asked
her to reCite a specimen CT Polish verse,
and she consented. Twice she began,
but each time, her memory failing her,
she broke down. At the third attempt,
however she found something in which
she was quite at home, and poured forth
Il flow of imprisoned though unintelligi
BILE eloquence. Her voice rose and fell.
her gestures were now of pathos, now OF
eXaltation, now of quiet humor. Her
various moods were translated to her
audience with such power and vividness
that it was swayed alternately to smiles
and TO tears. The recitation ended amid
Il storm of applause. When the cheers
subsidized someone asked her what was
the name of the piece she had recited.
Modjeska laughed heartily. L am sorry
to have deceived YOU she said. THE
fact is my memory played me trick
could not remember Il single one of the
ballads once used to know so well, and
as L had to give you some sort of recita-
ton ] rcclted, as last resort the mum

Well go somewhere and have Il bit of
dinner first. and then drive on to Leices-

Madge hesitated.
Come, now. prescribe: you take the
medicine. like an Obedient child.
Half reluctantly, yet pleasantly eXcit-
ed, Madge, with a little shrug of protest,
went away to obey.
She took great pains with her toilette,
and was pleased to find all her crying
had not in the least spoiled her lovely
eyes; if anything, it had added to their
brilliancy.
Denver smiled in admiring approval
when she returned.
The grave Parker called a cab. and
stared when he saw his mistress handed
into it by the attentive cavalier. Then
they drove away, Madge laughing, and
Parker looked at Bates and Bates at
Parker. but they said nothing.
What Il night that was to be sure.
Madge was quite carried away by the
novelty Of it all-the dining cut at pub
lie restaurant. the champagne, the bril-
liant lights and air of gaiety at the hall,
more champagne, her companions wit
and sparkle, his kind solicitude for her
comfort, his open admiration of her
trying position, the car ride home in the
Inoonlit streets, wnen the traffic had
thinned. Altogether the night was sue
cess. and, as Madge thanked her COM
panion on the steps, she told him she had
enioyed-yes. actually enjoyed it all as
she never remembered to have enjoyed
anything so much in her life.
And that was the beginning of it. Aft
EDWARDS. Madge was never allowed to get
dull or listless. There was always some
thing to look forward to, some pleasant
outing or cheerful evening at nome with
books music or billiards, for Dick taught
her to play.
He sent her flowers. gloves, even jew
elry at last seeing he was so old friend
of Toms. Madge was never allowed to
feel herself alone or neglected She got
lots of wires. notes, letters, getting long
er and longer and more interesting as
time went on. Dick seemed to live only
for her, and though her lady friends be-
gan rather to hold aloof, Dick never
failed her.
ALTOGETHER. Madge scarcely had time
to miss her husband, or replne at his
long absence.
Itow glad and grateful Tom was to
hear of his friends devotion to his dear
little wife. He wrote and told her that
fretting, but was bearing the trying sep
| aration as became soldiers wife
bravcly and checrfully.
Why, then, unreasonable and incon-
sistent man, when he came home and
found how we'll and thoroughly his friend
had supplied his place, did he shoot that
dear friend through the heart? Truly

For the Farmers to Decide.

BY the best figures obtainable it APP
pears that the farmers of the country
paid over SS00000,O 600 in the shrinkage
in the value of their live stock alone
as a part of the price of the election to
the Presidency of Grover Cleveland on
a free-trade platform in 1892. Most Of
this loss they have made good since
free trade received knockout blow in
1896 and protection returned to its own
again. If the farmers have more money
and more prosperity now than they
want and would like to get rid Of some
OF it, the sureSt way in the world is to
vote for Bryan and free trade this fall
1t wouldn't take long under Bryan and
free trade for live stock to become OF
as little value as it was in the days of
Cleveland. But if, on the other hand
the farmers Of the country want to
keep what they have and to add to it,
they need to stand by the policy which
gives the American market to the
American people, and which, by bring
ing work and money and prosperity TO
the industrial workers of the country,
creates a strong home demand for the
products of the farm

THE PRESERVING SEASON.

OF Ceylon's spicy breeZcS
We many times have sung,
And we have heard about them
Since days when we were young:
But now to sniff such fragrance
We do not need to roam,
For spicy are the breeZeS
That float aropnd the home.
It's now the time when women
Forget about their nerves
And spend their days and evenings
In putting up preserves.
They're peering into kettles,
They're closely watching pans,
And at the proper moment
They're filling jars and cans.
They're making jams and jellies
And sweetest marmalade.
And fruit fresh from the orchards
Is into butter made.
They re pairing. seeding, Slicing.
A work in which they're skilled,
And when 4 kettles emptied
Again it's promptly filed.
And sweet is the aroma
That permeates the air.
The fragrance of the spices
Dropped in with greatest care,
And as affair it's waited
To Ceylon we then show
That there are other places
Where spicy breeZes blow.
The women burn their fingers,
And pretty faces. too:
But patiently they're working
Until the task is through,
Aud. though the bubbles grumble
When women thus prepare,
Just watch them in the winter.
And see them grab their share.

The SOuth'S Political Folly.

The growth Of it's textile Industries
of late years makes it necessary for the
South to forget dead issues and look to
the future of its business interests in
its politics The more sensible bust
nesslike politics of the North have al

losses which it would sustain under
Democratic free silver and free-trade
policies.
But the question for thinking men in
the South is, Can it afford to rely on
the North indefinitely to protect it
against its own political folly? Isn't it
about time the South exercised some
political Judgment itself? How long is

NEW ORLEANS CLAY STATUE.
The Street Railroad Companies Tri-
uInph After Prolonged Contest.

GInDn AFTER ErOIOnEcu contest
The removal of the statue Of Henry
Clay from Canal street has finally been
definitely settled. an ordinance having
been passed by the council providing for
the removal of the statue from its pres
ent site, at the intersection of Canal
street with St. Charles and Royal streets
to Lafayette square.
The removal of the statue will mean
the passing of one or the best-known
landmarks of the city, around which
many memories cluster. No special SEN
timent attaches to the statue itself, which
is anything but an ornament i'll its pres
emf position, but people who remember
the many important events which have
occurred, and the many historic person
ages who have figured in occurrences
around its base, will view with sentimen-
tai regret the removal of the old land
mark; but even such persons are forced
TO admit that the motives underlying the
demand for its removal outweigh any
other consideration. 1t is not disre-
gard for memories of the past nor any
lack of reverence for the memory of the
statesman the statue is meant to honor
that dictates the course resolved upon.
1t is IL realization that in the present To-
cation the statue is a menace to life and
limb, that it seriously impedes traffic up
on one of the city's busiest thorough.
fares. The several years of hesitation
on the part OF the authorities before
finally sanctioning the removal is sutfi-
cient proof that the decision was finally
arrived at with regret.
There can be no question at all that at
this time the Clay statue is very much
out of place in its present location.
Crowded on ali sides by immense cleo
trio cars and shrouded by Il network of
wires, the statue has ceased to be an
ornament. Re-erected i'll Lafayette
square, one of the most attractive spots
| in the city, the Clay statue will be seen
to much better advantage, and the sur
roundings will be in every sense more
appropriat e.-New Orleans Picayune
