Long and Fsithfu Railroad service Of
All Of Them.
Michael w. Regain. who was killed IN
the wreck OF the fast bound mail train
OF the Lake Shore at Westieid on
Wednesday, May %, was n OF the
best known locomotive engineers in
this part Of the country. He was in
generation, and always enjoyed the
confidence Of the officials OF the line
as a mar who could make the time
and DC careful, conscientious work.
Regain began railroading as a fireman
in 1863 on the State line work train Of
the old Buffalo & State Line road, af-
terward extended to Erie, and called
the Buffalo & Erie. and finally merged
into the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern. In 1866 he got his step and
took the throttle Of a switch engine ar
Dunkirk. The next year he ran the
work train at Silver Greek, and on
July i, 1859, he went on the road as a
freight engineer. In 1880 he was pro-
NOTED TO a passenger run, and up 10
his untimely end piloted the passenger
trains of the Lake Shore in winter and
summer. Regain came from a family
of engineers. His brother, Thomas
Regain, has the opposite run on the
companion train. His brother, James
Regan, who died a short time ago,
was an engineer on the Lake Shore,
and another brother, Edward Regan,
is an engineer o the Lehigh Valley.
His son, Francis Regain, is an engineer
or the Lake Shore, and his two broth
ers-in-law also run on the same road.
In Regan's career OF thirty-four years
as a locomotive engineer he had but
three accidents. and one vas the re-
suit Of his fault or negligence. He had
the reputation Of making uniformly
good runs, and the train he was taking
out when killed is one OF the fastest
mails in the country.-Buffalo Ex-
press.

A new religious sect is attracting at
tention in Fulton county, Indiana.
The members call their church the
Haven of Rest" and in order TO join
1t one does not have TO submit to any
particular creed. So far the member
ship is made up almost entirely Of per-
sons who have become dissatisfied
with other denominations. They do
not have any established places of
worship, but their tents wher-
ever an inviting field is to be found.
The Rev. Samuel Plantz is the prin-
cipal preacher for these people. He is
a man who would score a success in
any line OF work.
Possessed of native shrewdness, a
commanding personality, and a pleas
ing style OF oratory, he is a born
leader. For a number of years he was
a member of the Evangelical Associa-
ton, but he became dissatisfied and
changed to the Methodist. Soon after
he returned TO his old church. But it

The future Queen Of England, the
Princess Of Wales, is the subject OF an
interesting article in the june Cosmo-
politap by that well-versed writer OF
European royalty and nobility, n
Narauise de Fontenoy. There are
many yomen in English society, says
the writer, who are infinitely o
beautiful, whose figures conform FAR
more closely TO the ideals Of the artist
and who possess a greater degree OF
brilliancy, of dash and wit than the
Princess of Wales. Yet wherever Eng
lands future Queen appears, not /
does she become the cynosure OF all
eyes. but more than that the LONELINESS
OF every other woman present seems In
some way TO pale; this, too, in spite
Of the fact that she is q grandmother
Of six little ones and is nearer 60 years
OF age than so. True, she remains
amazingly youthful in appearance,
thanks not so much to those vulgar de-
vices known as making up" as to
those iudicious cares that are entirely
legitimate. For instance, daily mas
sage with cold cream has been en-
ployed to help nature in warding on
wrinkles from her fair face. while the
elasticity and elegance Of the figure
has been retained by e n Of exer-
else and moderation in diet TO the same
phenomenal degree as in the case OF
the late Empress of Austria at the time
OF her assassination. The hair is
dressed in precisely the same quiet and
characteristic manner as % years ago.
The head retains the same dainty
poise on a neck SO graceful that II con-
veys the impression Of a slender stock
supporting a flower, while the eyes as
suredly have neither dimmed nor
changed. flashing as in days OF yore
with fun and mischief, o. else sweetly
appealing in that sort Of pathetic man
ner peculiar to people who r hard Of
hearing.
Her Sweet and Gracious Manner.
But it is not this that makes the
princess so fascinating-that renders
her so much nor attractive than wom-
IN of immeasurably superior beauty.
Nor can 1t be described as magnetism.
For magnetism implies something that
Is violent, and against which one would
be inclined TO resist But it is the
sweet, gracious and kindly manner
that converts every man that sets eyes
upon her into her wor admirer, and
that eve disarms the jealousy of wom-
en-. Transforming them into her devoted
friends.

Statue struck by Lightning.

The statue of Liberty on Liberty
island in New York harbor. was struck
twice by lightning on the Fourth of
July and emerged unframed. The bolt
struck the appraised arm and another
hit it squarely on the forehead. The
statue is protected by the finest sys-
tenn of lightning rods ever made. They
extend from a point above the torch
down the figure and foundation into
the ground, a distance of 305 feet.
Thence they go into the waters of the
bay and end In a system Of piping
filed with carbon. A gang of work
men have been climbing all over the
statue since the bolts struck 1t, but
they find that 1t was not damaged at
all. very much to the astonishment OF
those who saw the brilliant display OF
electricity which made an aureole
about the goddess forehead when the
shaft struck and seemed to break into
a mass Of SPARKS. II was In this same
storm that the Standard Oil Com
pany's works at Bayonne we're set ON
fire by lightning.

II has sometimes been alleged that
the Princess OF Wales is deficient IN
~cleverness.
This censure is emphatically nothing
less than a piece Of SANDER. True, she
is not intellectual in the Of her
sister-in-law, Empress Frederick, and
ii is difficult TO imagine her in the role
of a politician. But since her mar
riage, seven-and-thirty years age, she
has lived almost increasingly exposed
TO that full glare OF publicity which
beats about thrones, occupying, by
reason OF the seclusion of the Queen,
the role of the first lady in the land, at
any rate in a social sense. And
throughout that entire period she has
not made a single mistake. She has
known in her own friendly and calm
manner all the people whom II was
desirable she should know. She has
steered clear OF all those acq~uaintances
which might have given rise to III
natured comment. She has

never rendered herself guilty OF any
thing that could be construed as par
taking of the nature OF faux pas. has
by means of the atmosphere OF ideal
refinement which she seems TO difuse
around her, kept within bounds the
tendency of modern society to exubea
rance and vulgarity, and. perfect In
tact, has presented through her mar
ried life a picture of most ~unrufied do
mestic happiness. Finally, in an age
where calumny is so rife and all-prev-

ed from heaven would be permitted 20
retain the celestial garments ~unsullied
and the wings unruf1ed, no breath of
scandal has ever furnished. ever for q
fieeting moment, the fair name OF Eng
lands future queen. Surely, when n
considers all the temptations OF n
kind and another TO which a woman

ing her, and many ~endeavoring in vain
TO poison her mind against those whom
they wish to GUST from her favor, the
fact that she could be without a single
mistake in her record indicates that,
far from being a dull or foolish per-
son, she must indeed be possessed of
extraordinary cleyerness-the most de-
lightful contrast that it is possible to
conceive to her immediate predecessor
as Princess of Wales, the infamous,
and above all the appallingly gross and
vulgar, consort of King George ".
