Geronimo's Souvenir Coat.

Abraham jefferson, a negro, was
held to the grand jury recently on a
charge of larceny, says the Kansas City
Journal. The namesake of Abraham
and Jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey, the railway
buckskin coat. which was formerly a
possession of the bloodthirsty Apache
chief. Geronimo. The coat, which was
exhibited in court. is an interesting
specimen of Indian handiwork. and a
striking commentary on the character
of old Geronimo. 1t Ia festooned with
forty or fifty long tufts of hair, which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads of the many white women
whom the old chief had killed. Ger
onimo must have had a particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair.
or a penchant for that kind of decora-
ton for his coat, for, with one excep-
ton. all the hair Is of that color. The
exception is a very light brown, which
might at one time have been red. All
the hair is long. 1t is attached In hit
or-miss fashion to all parts of the
coats exterior, and hangs down the
back SO thick as to almost conceal tho
highly colored painted figures which
constitute the rest Of it's ornamental
ton. AS a curio the coat was worth
about $500.

A CROSSINGS
.Deersass In TIA Number of Aseid~s

.Deentase In tho Number of Accidents
From This Cause.
Since 1898 the number of railroad
accidents at crossings at grade has
fallen off rs per cent, though the vol
ume of railroad travel in the United
States has largely increased and the
number of trains is much greater.
This decrease is due largely to the
legislation, in which New York was
the pioneer, for the abolition OF all
grade crossings, says the New York
Sun. The Anti-Grade Crossing law oil
New York, adopted in 1897, provided
that steam surface roads thereafter
built u be constructed to avoid al.
crossings at grade. New streets, av.
enues or highways. when carried
across the tracks of existing steam
roads. must be either above or below
grade, and the extra cost OF such con-
struction is to be paid half by the
municipality and half by the road
crossed. Where existing crossings ars
changed upon the application OF the
municipal authorities or Of a railroad
company the expense of such change Is
to be paid as follows: One-half by the
railroad company. one-quarter by the
state and o~ne-quarter by the municipal
authorities. All street surface rail-
roads hereafter constructed in New
York across a steam railroad shall be
either above or below its grade. The
legislature is authorized to a%ppropri-
ate not less than $100, 600 annually to
defray the states share of the expense
imposed by compliance with this stat
ute. Massachusetts,, in which the
population outside of the large cities
Is more dense than in New York, APP
propriates $500, 900 a year for the elimi-
nation Of grade crossings and has al
ready expended 81, SOC, 900 for this pur-
pose, and the railroad companies in
Massachusetts,. largely owned in New
York; have paid $4,000. 600 for the same
purpose. Under a law passed by the
Tennessee legislature in 1889, the rail-
roads are Obliged to grade road cross
ings to the level of the rails, and to
keep them In repair for ten feet on
each side of the track. The Connecti-
cut legislature adopted a similar meas
dre and II has been strictly enforced
in that state. Nearly every western
state and some southern and Pacific
states have followed New York's lead
in gradually doing away, where prac-
ticable, with the old fashioned method
of laying railroad tracks on the same
level as the intersecting wagon and
carriage roads. There are few roads
In the country on which there has not
been in recent years some effort to re-
duce the number of grade crossings.

The one idea permeating the recent
conference IN Chicago of the National
Civic Federation's committee seemed 10
be that both labor and capital must
organize on lines Of less friction and
subsequent difficulties for their own
mutual benefit. The first important
step taken toward the selection OF q
national body to take up and endeavor
to settle labor disputes was the deci-
sion of the committee to organize a
literary bureau. which is intended to
act as a bureau of publicity and educa-
ton In the proposed plan.

A TRANSFORMATION.
Mysterious Di.appearAnc nee of a Deer from
Back Porch.

Back Porch.
Jones would like to meet the man
that did 1t, says the Detroit Free
Press. He says that II the party who
took the deer will disclose his identity
he may keep the animal for his trou-
BILE. But 1t is not likely the guilty
wretch will come forward, as ne dis
likes to attract attention. Jones re-
turned from northern Michigan, where
he had been on a hunting trip. He
claims that he shot a deer while he
was there, and brought it home with
him. At any rate, he had one with
him when he got back. This much
the neighbors are willing to testify
to. as he was careful to hang the deer
on the back porch. where the whole
n~eighborhood could not help seeing 1t.
One neighbor has been unkind enough
to insinuate that n of It's legs was
broken and that there were other in
dications to prove that the deer had
been caught in a trap and dubbed to
death. Unfortunately this point must
always remain in doubt unless the
guilty person comes forward and adds
his testimony regarding the facts in
the case. Jones, after seeing that the
deer was hung where the neighbors
could see it, went downtown, collected
a party of friends an. lured them up
to the house by promising them some
Of the venison. On their way there
they were vastly entertained by his
vivid account of how he killed the deer
by making a shot that was next to
impossible. He took them around to
the rear of the house, only to find that
some one had not only removed the
deer. but had substituted a dead calf
in its place. 1t is hard to tell which
makes Jones the maddest, the loss of
the deer or the doubt his friends ex-
press whether he really did kill a
deer, as he says.
