A CONFERENCE.-The

A rather curious method of burglar
catching was resorted to by IN in
genious maidservant recently in New
York. As The Electrical Review tells
the story, while in pursuit of her
household Gutics the maid noticed a
mans foct inside the clothes closet.
She did not scream, neither did she
jump at the door nor shut it with a
bang. Instead she took a broom and
began to sweep that corner of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual. and the sweeping was
done so naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur-
glar At last the broom brushed the door
gently. but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched,
which she at length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against it.
AS the telephone i'll her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her if she called
for assistance. she bethought herself
of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs on a wire that
runs to another house i'll the block.
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped wire, attached q
testing instrument and called up one
of the down town exchanges. which in
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters.
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the house, and
two policemen wore sent around and
got the man.

TO clear the tracks in cases of railroad
wrecks" said 4 we'll known railroad
official recently, but the methods used
on small railroad not far from Bal
timOre Il few years ago to clear the
tracks and incidentally save a fine en-
CINE from serious damage were the
most original ever heard Of.
THE wreck had been caused by ice
forming on the rail from an overflow
ing tank near the trestle. The train
had two engines. The first engine and
the cars had run out on the treStle
and dropped over. The rear engine
was left standing half sidewise on the
trestle. which was 80 feet high. 1t
seemed as if the touch of a mans
hand would cause it to topple over,
and it blocked the road which was
only single tracked. and the wreclling
car with it's derrick could not be used.
IF we only had something SOFT to drop
it ON and then hoist il back said one
official. we could manage all right
This remark gave Il farmer Of the
neighDorhood an idea. He offered to
sell his big stock of corn fodder. The
plan was to pile the fodder from the
ground underneath the trestle to with
in few feet of the track and then
topic the engine over. The plan work
ed well, and owing to the elasticity of
the fodder the engine was not damaged
in the least. Baltimore Sun.

The smotherinr scene,

as to stage appointments, there
were no plush or velvet curtains or
couches draped with satin in early
days. The furniture was as unpreten-
tious as the costumes. Indeed on one
occasion when lady was playing Des-
demona to her husbands Othello a dis
astrous and at the same time ludicrous
effect. though of course unrehearsed,
had been imminent through the lack Of
even nail or two to make an old stool
steady.
1t was the smothering scene, and the
couch was made up of two chairs and a
rickety stool covered, of course, with
the simplest draperies-a red merino
curtain trimmed with yellow worsted
fringe. Imagine a Desdemona endeav-
oring to rccline gracefully, all the while
feeling portions of her couch sliding
from under her. This is how the scene
was played out:

Sad and Fatal Accident.

Robert was a boy fourteen years
old aud was an orphan, being raised
in the orphans home at Council

at work about the barn last Saturday
with the team. He started the team
up and they feeling good started t.
