The Meanest Man.
om the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
 To steal pence out of blind mans tray is popularly supposed to be the acme of meanness. A Battersea man has found a means of rivaling this species of depravity. He deluded the children who lived in his tenement into the idea that the penny-in-the- slot gas meter was a new and re- splendent bright red money boy spe- cially designed to accommodate the savings of economical youngsters. On this assumption they cheerfully drop ped their copper savings into the slot, and the ingenius deceiver burned the gas, which cost him nothing. When the collector came and cleared away all the pennies the chagrin of the youthful students of thrift may be imagined.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Mason and Dixoris Line Will Be
Marked With Iron Posts,


Baltimore, Md.-The old Mason and
Dixon line between Maryland and
Pennsylvania is being ~re-suryeyed,
and will soon be remarked with iron
posts. This work is being done under
the direction Of DR.. William B. Clark,
Of the Maryland Geological Bureau,
and Secretary Of Internal Affairs
Latta, of Pennsylvania. The Penn
s~ylvanla Legislature In 1889 apprO-
priated $1,000 "to repair and reset the
monuments on the boundary line be-
tween this commonwealth and the adj
jacent State of Maryland on the
South and in 1900 the Legislature of
Maryland supplied $4,000 to aid in the
work.
Mason and Dixon's boundary line,
which originally was run and
marked to establish the territorial
limits of Pennsylvania and Maryland,
later became famous as the boundary
between the free and slave-holding
States of the North and South. 1t
was, according to an agreement made
in 1882, to run due west from Cape
Henlopen Fifteen miles south Of the
point now known by that name), to the
middle of the peninsula Of the East
ern Shore, thence northward tangent
to q circle of twelve miles radius.
whose centre was at New Castle,
Del, and then due north from the
tangent point until it reached a par
allel fifteen miles south of the south
ernmost part of Philadelphia. From
this point the line was run due west.
Surveyors had already determined
the position of the centre of the pen
insula," the north and south line and
the tangent point" when Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon, English
astronomers and mathematicians, ar.
rived in Philadelphia in 1868. From
the time of their arrival until Deem
Der, 1867, Mason and Dixon were busy
locating the "southernmost part Of
Philadelphia" and the northern boun-
dairy of Maryland, which they sur
veyed and marked as far as Dunkard
Creek, now in West Virginia, when
they were stopped by the Indians.
Along the greater part of the line
each mile was marked by a stone
monument, which had the letter ''P'
engraved or cut on the northern side
and the letter IN" on tie southern
side, while at each fifth mile there
was a similar stone known as. the
crown stone" with the coat of arms
Of the Penns cut on the northern face
and with those of Lord Baltimore on
the southern. These stonas were
brought from England.
These monuments, which are to be
replaced with cast-iron markers, suf-
fered severely from attacks Of van
dals in the early days of the last cen
fury, Rapid progress is being made
in the relocation of the line.

MAN MURDERED ON A TRAIN.
Fellow Passenger Said He Had to Shoot
to Break Hypnotic Spell.


Rawlins, Wyo.-A. p. Rogers, an en-
ploye Of a packing company in st.

ward Hartley Copeland, on Union Pa

cling from Stockton, Cal, to Council
Bluffs, Iowa. When three miles east
Of Wamsutter, Copeland walked into
the car where Rogers was sitting and
began shooting at him, saying: There,
take that" He shot three times, the
bullets entering Rogers breast, and
instantly killing him.
When asked what caused him to Kill
Rogers, Copeland said; He had hyp-
Noticed me, and l had to do it."
AS the killing took place in Sweet
water County, Copeland was taken tc
Green River, and turned over to the
authorities there.
Copeland was Il teller in the Ne
braska National Bank in Omaha for
ten years prior to August. 1899, He
left the city at that time, OstenSibly
for a summer vacation and visit to the
Eastern States, and nothing was heard
of him. A month after his departure
his accounts showed a shortage of

made good by C%opeland's brother-in,

VEGETABLE PRICES SOAR sKYWARD
New York Housewives View With Alarm
the Markets Upward Tendency.


New York City.-Householders In
this city are much exercised just now
over the prices of vegetables and
fruits, which seem to be getting higher
all the time instead of lower, as they
would be supposed TO do.
The advance in the price of potatoes,
dealers say, Is due to the delay in the
Long Island crop. Virginia potato
growers, who supplied the market two
weeks ago, have been called on for
their reserve stock, and they are get
ting fifty per cent. nor than former
ly.
A well-known produce merchant does
not think that the drought in the West
will affect New York prices. He said:
1T may result, however, In our hav-
ing to ship vegetables out there-an
unusual thing. The recent drought on
to crop. The early season was wet,
and many farms had to plant the sec
ond time, losing thus a good fifteen
o. twenty days. Tomatoes have been
a failure. Where there ought to be
plenty at fifty to seventy-five cents n
crate, they are double that and more"
Retail grocerS do not think prices
will advance further except in the
case of potatoes.
String beans are bringing double the
price Of last season. Cucumbers are
unusually high, retailing at four TO six
cents. in place of three cents last
year. Cabbage is about the only vege-
table which maintains O normal price.
Peas are about thirty per cent. above
last season. Spinach is scarce at fifty
cents per peck, where it ought to be
only thirty-five. Catalogues and
watermelons are much above the usu-
al price ut this season.

A droll medical officer at the War

obliged to give some attention to the

disease to pension hunters that is
likely to be acceptable to the pension

disabilities submitted by applicants
included almost everything in the
medical dictionaries, the idea being to
name some disease that an applicant
IS liable to have.
How would it do" he asks, "to let
some of these applicants describe their
disabilities under the name pension
