A Mountain
~ ~ Maid

When Ellen Hignite, a mountain
girl from Clay county, KY, was put on
trial in Louisville before the United
States District court recently on the
charge Of selling Illicit whisky, h
was not left alone in her trouble, says
the Chicago Tribune. BY the side or
the shrinking little mountain maid
sat Miss Alice Castleman, one or n
proudest beauties Of Kentucky, h
belle Of the New York horse show TWO
years ago, and n Of the handsomest
women in the south. Miss Castleman
and her mother had heard of h
mountain girls sad story and they
went to her help because they be-
lieved that she was the victim OF spite
and persecution, and that while h
had d~isobeyed the revenue laws and
sold Illicit whisky as charged, still,
she had done it only to save her
mother and baby sister from starving.
So when the case of the People vs..
Hignite" was called the court room
held a notable crowd. Around h
mountain girl sat Miss Castleman and
her mother, Mrs. Samuel A. Miller,
Mrs. Basil Duke, and other society
leaders of Louisville. Gen. John b.
Castleman and Gen. Basil Duke, two
of the most renowned soldiers of Ken
lucky, who during the long years Of
the rebellion wore with distinguished
honor the uniforms of gray and who
a quarter of a century later wore with
no less honor the old army blue Of
the Union in the war of a reunited
country against a foreign foe, had
come into the court to testify in the
little prisoners behalf. The story be-
gan with the breaking out Of a feud
between the Hignite family and the
~moonshiners of Letcher county. The
Hignites refused to make Illicit whis-
ky themselves or deal in it. Their
neighbors declared that some of the
Hignite boys were spies of the gov
eminent. One night Cob Hignite was
killed while going home to his cabin.
Old mar Hignite and his other two
boys went out 10 aVenge the murder
and all were killed. The night after
they were buried the little log cabin.
Of the Hignites was burned to the
ground and Mrs. Hignite and her baby
and her ~17-year-old daughter. Ellen,
fed to the woods for refuge. The next
morning when they returned to the
ruins Of their smoking cabin they
found a notice tackled on a tree. The
notice read:
"Ef you 'uns go an don mex nc
mo fuss we 'uns won't do no mo- 20
yo' ALL"
The terrified mother took her chill
dren and fled through the mountains
towards Clay county, where her peo-
pie lived. For three weeks they wan
dered through the mountains. Then
they sank down in the ruins Of an old

Why He Lost Faith in Wall Street.

Col. Edward C.. James, the distin-
guished New York lawyer, who died
recently, once had an experience with
the firm Of Grant G Ward which ac-
counted for his occasional cynical re-
marks about Wall street methods as
he had found them. After ii years Of
successful law practice in the northern
part of this state, right after the war,
Col. James collected all his funds.
amounting to about $500, 000, and
turned them Owe to the firm of Grant
& Ward, then at the height of its pop
ularity. When he decided to draw out
his money Ferdinand Ward drew a
check for $500, 600, payable to his order,
with the remark that the additional
$500, 900 represented Col. James prof
it's. This was evidently too good an
Investment to break up, so the colonel
said that he would gladly leave his
money to pile up more profits at the

little bays of the coast, where it vas
cut up by the fishermen.
During the summer of 1900 the
steamer Hermosa killed a whale off
San Pedro, which was at least 80 feet
in length. The steamer was blowing
along at a rate of IL miles an hour
when suddenly a large whale rose to
spout directly in front of her, placing
itself inadvertently across the bows, so
that the blow was struck fairly. The
shock created a sensation on board,
and the blow was so violent that sew
eral people were thrown from their
feet. 1t was supposed that the vessel
had struck a rock; she stopped for a
few seconds, trembled, then rose about
three feet. heeling slightly, then re-
sumed her course, passing through a
mass of blood which colored the water,
showing that she had plunged into
some large animal. A dead whale was
sighted W or three days later, and
FOR several days, on account of it's size,
1t drifted up and down the coast with
the tide, defying the efforts of specula-
tive fishermen to secur it. Finally a
heavy sea tossed it on the coast at the
resort of Redondo, where it was hauled
in at high tide and when the latter
went out 1t left a remarkable spectacle
in the remains of one of the largest
of living animals. A long wound told
the story OF its contact with the
steamer.
Doubtless IL the records Of shipping
disasters were examined many in
stances would be found where vessels
had crashed into whales with results
fatal to the animals and more or less
injurious to the vessels.

Between the islands paralleling the
coast of southern California and the
mainland there extends a deep channel
where several kinds of whales may be
found feeding on the vast schools or
jelly fishes which are nearly always
present. The whale most common is
the California gray, which goes every
year to the shadows of the Gulf of
California to give birth to it's young,
then moving north along the Cali
fornia coast in what Is virtually a
great procession. AT this time the
channel is the sporting ground for the
huge animals, and nearly every steam

Of the trip, as the whales, far from
being wild or timid. sometimes evince
a playful mood, or, melted by curios-
ity, come near the steamer, affording
the passengers a near view of the
largest Of living animals.
This social disposition has resulted
in several encounters between the
whales and vessels, in which the form
er have always come off second oest.
Some years ago a steamer on the trip
from San Pedro to San Francisco
struck some body, supposed at first to
be a log. Several of the men were
thrown to the deck; the wheel turned
over so violently that the helmsman
was also thrown down. and steamer
for a moment anne to a standstill. All
hands were called, the pumps sounded,
and as the mate ran aft he saw a large
whale flashing the water astern. The
vessel had struck it directly back OF
the right paddle and evidently crushed
it down. rising over it. This whale
drifted into San Cataline some days

Rapid Postal Service in Berlin.


That the postal service of Berlin has
long been the model (as yet unattain-
able) for the rest Of Europe is well
known. But ii is not equally matter
of common knowledge that the excel
lence of the Berlin postal arrangements
of yesterday no longer satisfies the
postal authorities of today. The lat
est innovation has been a still more
frequent clearing of the letter boxes
and a more rapid delivery than ever.
The letter boxes in the principal thor
oughfares are now cleared every fifteen
minutes during the busy hours Of the
day. The rapidity of delivery of letters
recently resulted in the saving of a
human life. A girl determined TO COM
NIT suicide, wrote to her parents or
her intention and posted the letter,
which was delivered within an hour
of being posted. This enabled the
father to hurry off in a cab to the spot
in the Thiergarten which his daughter
had mentioned as hat where her body
would be found, to catch her alive, box
her ears and take her home.-Harper's
Magazine.
