Why Save Old .Tfash2

Now somebody: is trying to give the
rune ge sale black. eye! The preva-
lence of a certain disease in a neigh
boring town is ascribed to the dispos-
al of germinvested relics, which, by
good rights, should have been burned
up long ago. The days of: boarding
and. false economy are about ended,
thanks ito the popular fashion of living
in tea cups and wren boxes. Houses
with big attics and cellars in which to
store rubbish are the exception; it is
impossible to save things in the. closet
less three-room fiat; thence the STIR
ring up of the rummagers. 1t must
be confessed it goes against the Yam
kee grain to be wasteful, but there is
much in every household that should
never be saved, have seen the most
hideous objects brought to light at the
Sales, objects that long ago should
old garments, which, in their time,
might have been comforts for the
poor; furniture that looked as if it was
excellent kindling wood, and rags and
scraps undeserving the name of relics,
which the city department and old bot

years ago. The buyers belong to that
eminent fraternity who grow rich buy

Omaha, .Neb., Dec. 3-.-Danie Burris
positively identified at Pacific Junction,
Ia, the pony left there mysteriously
in the barn of Mrs, Mack, the day
following the Cudahy abduction as one
he sold to man answering the de-
scription of Pat Grove, few days
before the abduction. Mrs. Thomas B.
Cooper, married daughter of Burris,
was shown a collection of twenty-five
photographs taken from the rogues
could, one or more which resembled
the Slight complexioned" man who
called to buy the pony She at once
picked out two of the photographs
which she was sure we're those of this
man., The pictures were those of
Grove. Mrs. Cooper IS the fifth person
who saw this man who has identified
him with a likeness Of Grove, and the
police now feel sure that he is one of
the men wanted.
As usual in sensational crimes after
math the leading criminal is said to
have been identified in many places
It is positively stated in dispatches
from every point of the compass that
Grove is or has been there. Among
these is a report locating him on an
outbound steamship at Boston, and
another going on board vessel at
Galveston; then he is surely located at
Pueblo, and lots of other places.

DEFEATED NELSON.
Proud Achievement of a Heroic Woman
OF Nicaragua.

OF Nicaragua.
September IA is a great anniversary
day in Nicaragua, and is legally recog-
nized as holy day. it being one of the
two days in the history of the repub-
lie when Nicaragua soldiers defeated
an important force of armed troops.
The first occasion was when a woman,
one of the ancestors of the wife of DR..
Cardinas, formerly president of Nj
caragua, rallied some fleeing soldiers
and men; her husband, the commander,
being absent at Fort Castrillo on the
San Juan river. She held the front
until night against the cannonade of
the then Lieutenant Nelson, afterward
Lord Nelson of the British navy, who
had come up the river in the small
boats of British warship for the pur-
pose of capturing the fort. When dark
ness fell the brave woman had RATS
constructed and these were loaded
with dry leaves and clothing and satu-
rated with. rum. The RATS were sent
down the river to where Nelson's boats
we're moored and were fired when they
reached their Estimation. Nelson hur-
riedly retreated' down the river to
where his ship lay, losing four men
and one of his boats.

PLAIN JUSTICE.
Mar. rwain Cause. . Greedy Cabnan to

Mark Twain Causes Greedy Cabman to
Be Punished.
And it is well that in our own coun-
try we have at least one man who is
acting on resolute lines. We need that
man. We need him in every town, in
every precinct. We need him in every
train and boat, and in every hotel and
restaurant. We need him in every city
ball where public service is !subordi-
nate to party convenience, We need
him wherever there is rudeness and
laziness, and meanness and dishonesty.
The man who has set the example for
us and awakened us to the chance Of
righting wrongs that seem to easy go
ing folks to be hardly worth righting
is Mr.. Clemens, otherwise known as
Mark Twain. A cabman overcharged
him. 1t is the common practice of cab
men to do so. Generally the over
charge is accompanied by insolence
If the fare" objects. Mr.. Clemens
would not pay the unjust charge and
had the fellow before the marshal,
with the result that he is now out of
job, his. license having been rescind-
ed. Mr.. Clemens has done a service to
the public, and he deserves its thanks.
He has taught lesson to class that
especially needs it, for the rapacity
and ill-manners of cabmen has made
riding in rented vehicles almost i'm
possible to the majority. To be sure,
others find more difficulty in securing
justice. 1t would be of no use for one
living under certain municipal admin
istrations to try to punish policeman
for inselence, drunkenness, or dishon-
esty. If he made the. charge his life
would become burden to him by rea-
son of the persecution that would fol-
low. But the courts are always open
and although to carry case into them
involves delay-some of it purposed
and persecutive on the part of the law
yers-in some fashion justice could be
obtained, we may be sure, if only the
determination existed. A society fol-
making servants of the public work
in the public interests need not be
large nor rich. 1t would suffice that IL
