WhiIeAttemptingt to Board Run- hing Car to Ball Park Was
 Thrown Against Post

Robert Lee, negro brakeman. while attempting to board ball park car yes terday afternoon, was struck by a post and thrown violently to the ground, sus- taining severe injuries.
 Lee and another negro, George Free man, tried to catch the car while in mo- tion and approached from the wrong side or rather the left hand side. Freeman caught the rail safely, and got inside, but just as Lee swung to the running car he was hurled against one of the posts which line the left side of the track. When picked up he was uncon- scious, and was carried to house near by, where medical attention was given him.
 His injuries are not expected to prove fatal. The accident occurred between fif- teenth and Sixteenth streets.

members of the convention who have an- nounced in equally positive terms that the present scale is not satisfactory and an increase must be demanded. A change in the manner of paying wages must be had, also, according to these delegates. There will be a sharp fight between the two clements, but it is believed the radi- cal element will win and an increase will be demanded. as well as a change in pay days.
 The officers of the convention and the members of the scale committee refuse to make any forecasts as to what will be the final out come, although it is admit ted that one element of the convention is working to effect a settlement of the question without trouble. Predictions as to the demand that will be submitted to the operators are therefore impossible to be made with any great degree of .accu- racy.
 The session will reassemble this morn- ing at o'clock and will continue at work until final settlement is made of all questions to be brought up at the con- vention.

A successful wash for soiled kid

drug store and ask for cleaning fluid
made as follows: Deodorized benzine
two pints; sulphuric ether, one dram
ehloroform, one dram; alcohol, two
drains.
Open the windows wide and have nc
fire and no light in the room while do
ing the cleaning. Select large earth
en- bowl and pour in enough of the
fluid to well cover the pair of gloves
Wash the gloves just as you would q

other with When they seem to be
clean, squeeze out and dry them will

II a spot shows anywhere, wet it again
with the fluid and rub the kid gently
with the towel.
If you have plenty of the washing
fluid and are desirous Of having the
gloves look just like new, rinse them
before trying them on in clean wash
When assured that they are clean, pull
them off carefully by loosening the fin
gers at the tips. Hang them up to dry
in the open air. In half an hour all

will not cost over 40 cents, and it ought

struck him. BY dint Of signs he CON

then, to the amazement of everybody
went about shouting: Fine Scotch

1t was the day after his-Yeturn that
the Junior aef-calIed him to his

''Now that you're married, Mr.. Quilts,
l trust you will be considerate in your

II don't quite understand you, SIR"
exclaimed the young man in surprise.
"Oh, It's a little early, know adj
tnitted the junior partner, "but there's
nothing like taking time by the fore
lock. l suppose you haven't been out
late at night yet"
Certainly not, SIR
"And it's none of my business If you
have. But when you do stay out some
night be considerate. Remember that
I have reputation for fairness and
humane treatment of everybody In this
office that would like to retain. Don't
tell your wife that you're sorry you're
late, but that that slave driver at the
office piled work upon you to such an
extent that you had to work right into
the night. Don't tell her that the ty-1
rant you work under gave you Is. Cd.

have to post all the books in the office
before leaving for the night. Just IN
vent some other excuse, you know"
The young man thought the matter
over for a minute or two and then ask
ed anxiously:
"Well, If should be late what shall
say?"

Good. We can settle all the details
in an hour after the others get here. II

When he had gone. made up my
mind that he had mistaken me for an
| other man, but I could not quite catch
on to his expressions He was evident
| ly in Stockholm by appointment, and
others were to arrive later, and Mr..
Grelling, who was probably an Eng
lishman, was mixed up in the affair, if
not the leader. The matter puzzled
and annoyed me for half an hour, and

Three hours later, as I retired to my
room, the stolid faced and wooden

myself, and while bringing my dishes
the waiter whispered in my ear:
"The two strange men are at the
fourth table. | am sure they are Rus
sian spies and win watch you"
Now had the key to the mystery.
There was some sort of a conspiracy
on foot, probably against the peace of
the czar, and the conspirators were to
meet at Stockholm. From what had
read and heard of such affairs the
plans and plots generally originated in
England or Switzerland, but these men
/ had selected nearer ground. Their plot
must have been suspected, or the Rus
sian spies would not have been there,
Yes, the two men were Russians, and

spy can always be spotted offhand but

years there are many ways in which he

FORGIVENESS.

My heart was heavy, for its trust had been
Abused, its kindness answered with foul wrong.
So, turning gloomily from my fellow men,
One summer Sabbath day / strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial place,
Where, pondering how all human love and hate
Find one sad Level and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened fac
And cold hands folded over a still heart
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,
Whittier all footsteps tend, whence none depart,
Awed for myself and plying my race,
Our common sorrow, like mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and treinblingly for
gave.
