Fast Mail Meets With a
Peculiar Accident.

When train No. Is, the after
noon fast mail on the G. & NV.
pulled into the depot in this city
this afternoon it resembled III
some particulars the 'also ran"
section of a foot ball game. At
Grand Junction the Northwestern
company has large force of men
at work putting in numerous i'm
provements and in the work a
large stone derrick is used AT
present the derrick is located in
close proximity to the main line
and today just before the fast mail
passed the huge arm Of the der
rick fell across the track and Ie-
fore it could be removed the
train, travelling at a tremendous
speed, reached the scene. The
heavy arm was lifted by the pilot
of the engine pulling the mail
train and before the engineer in
charge could check the tremend-
GUS momentum of his train the
heavy arm had torn it's way along
the entire length Of the train,
from the headlight to the last car.
The headlight, smoke stack, sand
dome, bell and cab of the engine
were torn off; the tops of the mail
aud express cars scraped and
marred and general havoc raised
by the heavy piece Of the derrick
before the train was stopped. Nc
one was injured.

Cheap Steel for Forei6ners.

Mr.. Charles M. Schwab, president of
the United States Steel company, ad-
mits that the American steel manu-
facturers sell their products to for
eigners at lower price than they do
to their own cOuntrymen. He admits
and he defends the practice His rea-
soning is that to produce goods at the
minimum cost plants must be run to
their full capacity; that when the pro-
ductivity Of plants run in this fashion
exceeds the demands of the country
surplus stocks pile up which must be
disposed Of abroad if disposed of at all,
and that it is for the interest of the
manufacturers, their employees and the
country generally that these SURPRISES
should be got rid of abroad, even il
they are sold at a price much below
that asked of home consumers, as 9TH
erwise mills will have to be closed or
run on half time and workmen thrown
out of work. Mr.. Schwab contends
that to obtain foreign markets and
sometimes to keep them when obtained
It Is necessary to reduce prices below
the home standards.

1.-THE BreddtOfnnerS.'

The attempt at this late day to find
IN an Illinois woman the doubtful hon.
or of the authorship Of THE Bread
winners" deserves a place among the
curiosities Of literature.
We can readily understand that as
events have shaped themselves since
1883 the real author would gladly es-
cape attention behind another name,
for when he wrote the book it is not
likely that he foresaw public or poll
teal career for himself. Fortunately
1t is too late for any misrepresentation
as to the authors identity. That was
settled long ago by external and in
ternal evidence. AS to internal evid-
ence alone the book is the boldest
apotheosis of snobbery, aristocracy and
the money power and the nastiest
sneer at the common people so far
written in this country.
It had but one purpose says the New
York Journal, that was to show the
essential vileness of every person not
q millionaire and the divine sublimity
Of the men that make great sums OF
money. According to the teachings OF
this book the man that labors with
his hands Is an ignoble creature and
the man that has no occupation but
to pursue the refined and elevating
amusements of society is the only re-
spectacle person in the community.

Students Fear Smallpox.

The authorities of the Indiana State
Normal school at Terre Haute and the
health authorities are trying TO head
off a stampede among the LOG stu
dents because of a case of smallpox.
Last Sunday it was found that Miss
Hall, from Daviess county, had the
disease. Her clearinghouse in which
there were six other students, was
quarantined and placed under guard.
but that night Miss Richards, who
lived in the house, slipped by the
guards and travelled to her home at
Pendleton, whence the report comes
that she has the smallpox. A num-

Mrs. Rosalie Gandolfo is a St Louis
woman who has a penchant for ban
tam chicken pets and has brood Of
them of which she is exceedingly
proud, for she has trained them to per-
form tricks that are the wonder OF the
neighbors. Two of her ROSTERS espe
cially favored by her, are named Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. These two little
fellows were perched on newspapers
mammoth bulletin board on election
day last November and kept the big
crowds shouting with delight at their
continual Growing. 1t seemed as if the
little redbreaSts knew when big re-
turns came in for Mckinley and
Roosevelt, for as the figures were
posted up they would emit louder than
ever their k-a-doodle-do." The
roosters will perch on Mrs. Gandolfos
fingers, fly to her arm, shoulder or
head at command; will crow when
ever their mistress tells them to, will
eat out of her hand, will guard articles
like a watch dog and in other ways
will show the result of long and care
full training. Mrs. Gandolfo. who Is
president of the Rosalie Woman's club,
named after her, prizes her pets very
highly and takes great pains in teach

Delight In the Home Life.

Again, any amusement that gives
YOU a distaste for domestic life is bad
How many bright domestic circles have
been broken up by sinful amusements.
The father went off. The mother
went off, The child went off. There
are today the fragments before me of
blasted households. Oh, if you have
wandered away, | would like to charm
you back by the sound of that one
word. home" Do you not know that
you have but little more time to give
to domestic welfare? Do you not see,
father. that your children are soon
to go out in the world, and all the in
fiuence for good you are to have over
them you must have now? Death will
break in on your conjugal relations
and alas if you have to stand over the
grave of one who persisted from your
neglect.
All, my friends there is an hour COM
ing when our past life will probably
pass before us in review. 1t will be
our last hour. If from our death pill
low we have to look back and see a
life spent in sinful amusement, there
will be a dart that will strike through
our soul sharper than the dagger with
which Virginius slew his child. The
memory of the past will make us quake
like Macbeth

cannot exist and if fresh water is not
at hand the fish will die. To prevent
this loss Cassius M. Fisk of Ohio has
designed the receptacle here shown.
The device consists of a pail to re-
ceive the water and bait, with an air
pump and storage reservoir at one side,
and a perforated tube located in the
bottom of the water chamber It will
be seen that air may be compressed to
a relatively high pressure in the air
container, and by means of the pecu-
liarly arrange distributing pipes a
gradual discharge of the air through
the water is permitted, thus keeping
the water continually purified and
necessitating the use Of the air pump
only at comparatively long intervals as
the pressure becomes too low to prop
erly feed the air to the water. To aid
In selecting the bait for use the in
vent0r has also supplied sort Of net
composed of ring covered with fabric
and mounted on the lower end of q
rod inside the pail, which will lift the
fish clear out the water until the one
desired can be taken out.

A Home for Straw Cats.

An uptown woman in New York, the
widow of a supreme court judge, has
devoted her attention to the welfare of
stray cats. She has had constructed q
cage thirty-two feet long and ten feet
wide, where all homeless animals who
are found In the vicinity receive food
and shelter. The neighbors call it
the "cat mission" The cage is fitted
with cushions and has a house heated
with hot water pipes in one end. A
local milkman has the food contract
for this asylum and leaves a large can
of milk daily for the inmates. Over
forty cats are being cared for at pres
emit, and news of the institution is
spreading.

Some of the justices of this city ap-
pear to have taken singular view Of
their duties and prerogatives, says
recent Manchester. England, dispatch.
The case of Hugo Shaw and W. II.
Hughes-who have rightly resigned a
position for which they were clearly
unfitted-has created a great sensation,
and has drawn letter from the home
secretary in approval OF the censure
of the city justices. These two gentle
men have escaped lightly, for they
were guilty of about as scandalous a
breach of magisterial decorum as can
Je imagined. From the report fur
nished by the chief constable we gath
er that when a local publican was to
be summoned for permitting drunken
ness on his premises these two justices
made repeated attempts to induce the
police to refrain from prosecuting.
Moreover, when the case was called on
they were found on the bench, and
when the police shifted the case to the
other court, Messrs. Shaw and Hughes
moved after them. Having done all
they could to stop the case they thrust
themselves upon the bench out Of
their turn. There is a strong hint in
the chief constable's report that undue
influence is frequently brought to bear
on licensing cases in Manchester.

NeighbOr Decides for Farmer.

One winters night Doctor B. was
reused by two farmers from a hamlet
ten miles away, the wife of one of
whom was seriously i'll. He told them
to go to the other doctor, but they re-
fused, saying that they preferred his
services. Very WE'LL" replied Doctor
b., thinking to put a convincing ar
gument before them, Gin that case my
fee is $40, the money to be paid now"
The men demonstrated. but the doctor
was obdurate and shut down his win
dow. He waited, however, to hear
what they would say. well, what
shall we do now" asked the farmer
whose wife was i'll. The reply must
have been as gratifying as 1t was
amusing to the listening doctor 1t
was: II think you had better give it.
The funeral would cost you more"
