WON RACE WITH DEATH.
Colorado Railroad Prevents
Awful Catastrophe.

A thrilling race down a mountain
side lately saved train load of pas
sengers by margin of four seconds
At Eclipse, Col, on the Florence &
Cripple Creek railroad, a loaded
freight car broke loose, with Brake
man Lund on top. AS Lund applied the
brake the chain broke, and the car
started again at terrific clip, says a
report from Victor.
Conductor Blondy, on an engine, un-
dertook to capture the car, to pre-
vent collision with suburban train
due to leave Anaconda at the same
time.
After wrapping message around a
lump of coal, Blondy hurled it through
the window at Eclipse station. The OPP
orator succeeded in holding the pas
senger train as it was pulling out of
Anaconda.
The pursuit Of the freight car was
now on in earnest, engine and car TAX.
ing the serpentine track at full speed,
although it seemed impossible to hold
the rails on the sharp curves. The car
was overtaken four seconds from Ana
conda. Conductor Blondy made a
coupling from the pilot, the air brake
was applied and the runaway was
brought to a stop.

THIS FAD is EXPENSIVE.
Topographic Craze Burns the Money
Out of PocI<et-Books Very
Rapidly.

Just now hundreds of young girls
have the topographic craze in it's
worst form. 1t is a money-eating fad,
says Chicago paper. Not only is the
burning outfit itself expensive, but the
wooden blanks on which the drawings
are traced with the hot iron needle cost
from 25 cents to as much as $40 or SIS,
according to the size and shape. The
humble quarter will buy a good-sized
square bit of soft pine, SIS a beautiful
table or chair on which design has
been printed ready for the artists
touch. One young girl who is re-
stricted as to pocket money and yet
very much interested in the work, has
discovered a way to crafty her pyro-
graphic taste by visits to the house
furnishing section of the large depart
ment stores. There she buys bread
boards-smooth, hard wood, 12-inch,
9-cent bread boards-for her placques.
These she finds take on far richer
brown than the 50-cent soft, white
pine PLAQUES of the same size. The
bread boards can be worked up just
as artistically as can the slabs made
especially for devotees of the "fad."

THE SWEARING OF sEALERS.
Most fragrant Perjury Committed by
Men who Are Otherwise
Strictly Honest.

A prolific source of litigation and
perjury is the practice among the
crews of the sealing ships of stealing
pans of seals from one another, says
Patrick McGrath, in an article on
sealing, in Leslie's Monthly.
The moral sense of the sealing
community has been so perverted in
this particular that the man who at
other pursuits is model citizen, and
who would hesitate to take Goldfish,
thinks nothing of the most flag
rant perjury with regard to the theft
of seals. Eve haven't much of case,
boys" observed skipper to his men
a few years ago, "but surely you are
not going to let them other id
scoundrels outswear you'll" That is
the ruling idea, and the men usually
show themselves worthy of the conf
dence reposed in them.

A GERM PROOF-CUP.
FastidiOus New Yorker Has Clearly
Way of Drinking mt Public
Fountain.

81 am one of those persons who
cannot pass water cooler without
getting thirsty" said business man
the other day, according to the New
York Times, "yet / abhor the public
drinking cup, and my draught of ice
cold water is spoiled for me by the
thought Of the germs from other lips
which cling to it's edges.
"But ! got an idea the other day
from rather fastidious composer,
who will not so much as touch pub
lie drinking cup. We were walking
in Central park when we came to a
drinking fountain. He took writing
pad out of his pocket, tore Off sheet
of paper, folded over about two and a
half inches of one corner, and twirled
the sheet part at the top, bent the
point over tightly, and, filing the cor
nucopia with water, offered me drink
free from the bacilli of the public
drinking cup.

to remain cold. They make almost
no effort to overcome it. The old
"Bushido" (chivalrous) idea of the
"samurai' (knights) was that it was
effeminate to feel cold, and such is
their severe training that they do
not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra "hmonos"
and the use of "hibachi" or brazier
in which are few tiny sticks IL
lighted charcoal are the only conces-
sions to winter weather. With the
"hibachi" they never pretend to heat
more than their finger tips, which
they hold over the Goals. 1t is used
when the house is entirely open.
The houses, as everyone knows, are
built of thin, light wood, and the
sliding panels which serve for doors
and windows have paper panes.
They are as apt to be open as closed
during the day. The coolies wear
thin blue cotton clothes and are al
ways padding through the mud. The
storekeepers sit out in their open
booths and the women go bare
headed about the streets. In the
houses of the rich the still cold be-
hind the closed panels is often more
intense than that outside in the sun
shine, where the air is stirring.

ISHPEMlNG STEAM LAUNDRY,
O. H. SENGEBUSCH,
Agent for L'Anse and vicinity.
Naturar' Ga. in England.

Natural gas, in which England was
generally supposed to be deficient,
has been discovered by Americans
and put to practical purposes in the
little village of Heathfield, Sussex.
The operations are in charge of an
American engineer, who is said to be
representing American capitalists.
An extensive plant is now being
erected, the railroad station and ho-
tel are already lighted by the local
product, and the whole village will
shortly be similarly illuminated. 1t
Is said that the Sussex gas is much
richer in hydro-carbon than the
American gas.

OH, DON'T WORRY!
Halifax Paper on Possible In

Urges Large Volunteer Army and
More Arms and Equipment.
A Foolish Alarm Sent Out in a
Foolish Manner.

Halifax, N. s., oct. 31.-Thc Morning
paper referring to the possibility of
invasion of Canada from the United
States at some future time. makes the
following editorial suggestions as to
the givernment:
AN effective permanent organization
should be maintained. A strong vol
unteer nucleus of an active force
should be kept up, much stronger than
we now have. Ample provision should
be made for the training of competent
officers. And. above all, the men of
Canada should be taught to shoot.
Arms and equipment for half mil
lion men should be kept constantly on
hand and readily available. There
must be at least that many young and
strong Canadians who should always
be in readiness to take the field in de-
fence of their country.
with such a force prepared to
spring to arms and the making of it
available need cost but Il comparative
trifle, we should be safe from attack
or wanton aggression OF any sort.
Such an army Of Canadians, ar
rayed i'm defence of their country and
its institutions, would be almost in
vincible. The strongest enemy would
certainly think long before venturing
to face them"

HE WANTED MONEY.
George Walbridge Soon Disabuscd
Highwayman of that Idea.

Another attempted robbery occurred,
late Wednesday night, on Spring
street. and was one of the boldest of
any reported in this vicinity. The af-
fair happened soon after IL O'Clock and
the person on whom the attempted
robbery was made was George Wal
bridge. a young man of this city, who
was going home. When at a point near
the foot of Spring street he passed a
man. a stranger, though as Walbridge
passed him he looked at him closely
as though perhaps an acquaintance.
When only a short distance past the
man. Walbridge remarked that it was
a cold night and received a reply that
it certainly was, and then the man
said: Il want some money"
Walbrdge was at this time just
passing or only a very short distance
by and as he turned he noticed that
the man was in the act of levelling a
revolver. and by q quick move, Wal
bridge struck the mans arm and
knocked the weapon from his grasp
The man started to strike George, but
the latter sent swift right to the jaw,
followed in quick succession by Others
with a slight variation. and this at
tack seemed to be quite unexpected by
the footpad, who dropped-a van
pushed foe. Mr.. Walbridge then start
ed on run up the street, not wishing
to be i'm the vicinity of any stray shots
which might be fired if the revolver
was recovered. and when at a distance
he turned around he saw the man strike
several matches in an attempt, prob
ably, to find the revolver.
Georges courage and quickness stood
him in good stead on this occasion, and
il the would-be highwayman was not
acquainted with his expected victim he
may have ar idea that he ran up
against Twin Sullivan. No description
