People Leaving Galveston.

Galveston, Sept lS.-The stream of
refugees from Galveston is kept up. Every
departing train across the bay is packed.
There will be refugees leaving for a week
to come.
No sadder sight could be imagined than
the picture presented by boat load of
refugees, when the ropes were cast Oft
and the craft swung out into the bay and
away from the storm swept city. Every
face was turned toward the ruin, ewes
molstened by tears. SO great has been
the rush to leave that the Lawrence, the
boat which connects with trains at Texas
City, has not failed to leave her wharf
a single day without denying passage to
a portion of those who wanted to get
away.

Novel Suit of Memphis Woman Against
Street Car Company,

Novel Suit of Memphis Woman Against
"A street Car Company.
The Supreme Court will be called
nDon at its next sitting at Jackson to
Tx into the peculiar case of Mrs.
CrutcnresG VS.. the Memphis Street
Railway.
Mrs. Crutchfield sues the street rail-
way company for $500 damages and
the complainants maintain that they
nave such a cause as entitle them to a
trial on the merits of the case.
1t is related that on the days of trans
action. Mrs. Crutchfeld. who lives in
Fort Pickering, having occasion to
come uptown, found that she had no
other money than 500 bill. She tried
TO get this money changed before she
boarded the street car. She went to
the butcher with whom she deals in the
neighborhood and offered to pay a bill
there If the butcher could change the
bill, but she could not get it changed.
so she boarded the street car with the

pIalnant that she explained to the con-

large a bill and asked him for a transit.
er ut Beal street. They were not able
to settle the trouble about the bill until
they came to Madison street. when the
conductor got off the car to get the bill
changed. 1t is asserted that he went to
some trouble to get the bill changed
entirely to nlckels. He got at the first
bank, so 1t is asserted by the complain
ant, $40 in nickels and $40 bill. and
then went to another bank and got the
$40 bill changed to nickels. He carried
these small coins to the passenger and
rendered them to her.
1t is related that Mrs. Crutchfield ask
ed for time in which to count the
money, but the conductor demurred,
and the other passengers protested
against the delay, so that Mrs. Crutch-
field said the car might go to the end Of
the line and she would count the money
en- route. 1t is related that after she
had counted the money over once she
concluded ~%at she was 81. 10 short, and
upon making demand for the balance
the conductor handed 1t over to her.
She had not yet finished counting the
money when the car reached the end OF
the Main street line and turned for the
round trip. Then the conductor de-
manded second fare from her, where
at she protested, and after some argu-
ment, when the conductor declared
that she would have to pay another
nickel or get off, she got off the car.
These being the averments of the law
suit from the complainants standpoint,
1t Is intended TO go to the Supreme
j Court to ascertain whether or not such
circumstances do not constitute cause
for action.-Memphis Scimeter.

Strike Situation.

Philadelphia, Sept. l9.-If, as President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
claimed, $4,000 of the l4l 900 mine
workers in the Pennsylvania anthracite
coal fields were idle, it is certain that
this number was considerably augmented
Monday. Reports from the four big dis
tricts embracing the hard coal region are
to the effect that fewer men are at work
today than were working yesterday, and
that colieres that worked full handed
or nearly so yesterday are either badly
crippled or shut down today.
The weather has grown much colder and
this change IS greeted with enthusiasm
by the workers, who argue that the in
creased demand for coal will hasten the
adjustment of the difficulties between
them and their employers. Talk of ar
bitration is so persistent that the hope
grows that this method of settling the
strike will finally be adopted, although
the mine owners declare they will deal
only with their employees as individuals
and the strike leaders say they will in
sist upon formal recognition of the union.
This difference would appear sufficiently
strong to keep employer and employe
apart forever if persisted i'll.

DEAD MEN
Who Are Found After Battle In Post
tions of Life.

Surgeon General Mackinnon was one
OF the first of the Crimean warriors to
enter the Redan after 1t had been evac-
uated by the Russians. The first thing
he saw was a Russian officer sitting on
gabiOn. His arms were folded across
his chest, and he appeared to be sleep
Ing, but he was dead, with a rifle ball
imbedded In his left breast. There
was nothing to show whether he had
sat down on the gabion after he had
been shot, or whether he happened to
be sitting there when he was killed.
DR.. Rossbach, of Wurzburgh. tells of
soldier who was killed as he was
raising a cup to his lips. The frag-
ment of a shell tore off his skull, leav-
ing nothing but the lower jaw. And
he was found twepty-four hours after
ward in a half-sitting position, still
holding the cup with his unsupported
hand raised up to his headless lower
jaw.
Nolan, in the celebrated charge Of
the Light Brigade at Balaclava, rode
for some time, sword In air, veritable
headless horseman.
British soldier in the Transvaal.
searching for missing comrades after
the Zulus had disappeared, found one
man kneeling behind the outer de.
lenses with his rife to his shoulder and
resting on the parapet as if he was TAX
Ing aim. He touched him on the shout
der, asking him why he didn't come in
side. He fell over. He was dead.
Nor are the eccentricities of shot and
shell more curious that those of cold
steel. Irving Montagu, a war artist,
mentions a case of Russian and q
TURK, who, meeting, fought to the
death with fixed bayonets in a wood
In Anatolia. The fatal thrusts must
nave been instantaneous, the strange
fact being that both stood, with their
legs much apart, each with his bayonet
Embedded deeply in his adyersary's
breast, for several DAYS.

Love and Letters.

Many heart has been won through
the agency of well-written letters. One
morning well-dressed man rushed
into a matrimonial office in London,
and tiourished bank note before the
eyes of the startled agent
'This bit of paper shall be yours, IL
you'll book me a wife," he cried. at
doesn't matter whether she's tall or
short, fat or thin; in less than an hour
| shall be on my way to the West In
dies, and l want you to find me wom-
an who will write me q newsy little
letter every month. | can't take wife
out there, and l must keep in touch
with the old country somehow"
Though this was an extraordinary de-
mand, the agent agreed to do his best,
and soon discovered clever spnster
who was willing to oblige the eccentric
traveller. For three years she sent her
unknown lover long letters that cheered
his lonely heart and made him yearn to
come back to claim her for his own,
and when at last he returned the mar
rage was celebrated without loss of
time.

Captain McQuiston Dead.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The war de-

COuI-Nliners strike,

Philadelphia, Sept. l6.-The much
talked-of strike of the anthracite mine
workers in the coal regions of Pennsylya-
MIA under the auspices of the United
Mine-Workers of America, and which af
fects about $4,000 union and non-union
workers, has practically begun, and reports
received from various sections indicate that
Monday, when the strike officially begins,
according to the strike order issued by
President Mitchell, of the mine-workers
union, very few of the colleries will be
in operation.
Just how many men will obey the strike
order can only be conjectured. The union
officials steadfastly assert that all the
union men will remain away from work
and will be further strengthened by a
large majority of the non union men. The
operators, on the other hand, are coH-
fident that the proportion of the striking
miners has been greatly exaggerated
Monday morning alone can tell which is
correct,

MISSION OF "DoN QUIxorE. "
Written to Ridicule Absurd Stories of
ChiVaIry,


Chivalry.
The object of Cervantes in writing
don Quixote" was, as he himself de-
clared. to render abhorred of men the
false and absurd stories contained in
the books of chivalry. The fanaticisIn
caused by these romances was so great
IN Spain during the sixteenth century
that the burning of all extant copies
was earnestly requested by the cortes (or
legislature of the realm. To destroy
passion that had taken such deep root
among all classes, to break up the only
reading which at that time was fashion
able and popular, was a bold under
taking, yet one in which Cervantes
succeeded.
No books of chivalry were written
after the appearance of Don Quixote!"
and from that time those in existence
have been steadily disappearing, until
now they are among the rarest of liter
airy curiosities. This romance, which
CerYantes threw so carelessly from his
pen, and which he only regarded as an
effort to break up the absurd fancies
about chivalry, has now therefore be-
come the oldest specimen of romantic
fiction and one of the most remarkable
monuments to genius.
Ten years after its appearance it's
author published the second part of
Don QuiXote," which Is even better
than the first. 1t was written in his old
age, when in prison and finished when
he felt tie hand of death pressing cold
and heavy upon him.-London Mail.
