Mounted Onicer Frank Green Thrown and
Kicked by His Horse.
While Mounted Policeman Frank
Green was watching the actions of some
boys in an alley in the vicinity of
Fourteenth and Claymont streets
Friday afternoon his horse was fright
ened in some unaccountable manner
and jumped almost across the street.
The officer was thrown violently to the
ground under the horse's feet and the
frightened animal kicked him into in
sensibility. The horse then made a
dash and ran some distance, but was
caught and soon recovered its COM
posture. ne Ha
Several men in the neighborhood ran
to the officers assistance and restored
him to consciousness. In short time
he had recovered sufficiently to stand
and again resumed his seat in he
saddle and rode cautiously back to the
police stable, where the horse was
allowed to remain the balance of the

STRIPPED BY RELIC-StEKERS.

Spokane, Wash. Aug. 7.-When the sheriff,
with the body OF Outlaw Tracy, drove
through Davenport, hundreds of people fol-
lowed him and crowded about the wagon.
By the time the wagon reached the morgue,
the streets we're crowded, and the morgue
doors had to be closed.
Several persons were allowed to see the
body, and then trouble began. Every one
wanted relic, and in short time nothing
was left but the body. Some one even picked
up the bloodstained handkerchief which had
been used by Tracy to keep from bleeding
to death. Many locks of the outlaws hair
were carried away, and in some places his
head was made bald. His trousers were cut
into strips, and before they were divided
they we're cut into smaller pieces. Many of
Tracy's cartridges were divided among the
members OF the posse,

DEATH OF JOHN FISHER.
Fell From Pear Tree at Clayton and His
Neck Was Broken.

feii from n rear Tree at clayton ana HIS
Neck Was Broken.
John Fisher, aged 65 years, who was
sent from Clayton to the Delaware Hos
pital Thursday suffering from injuries
received in a fall from pear tree, 1t
was at first thought that his back was
broken, but diagnosis by the surgeons
at the hospital resulted in the conclu-
sion that some of the important bones
in tho neck had been fractured. Re-
membering the successful treatment of
Edward Stevenson, whose neck had
been broken by his being hit by a
heavy iron bucket, the surgeons deter
mined to try tho same method upon
Fisher. Consequently his neck was
placed in harness, designed to relieve
pressure and to enable the fractured
parts to knit together.
This treatment made the patient
much more comfortable than he had
been. But about 1870 o'clock Friday
morning a sudden change took place in
his condition, and death followed.
Coroner's Undertaken James 4. Chapd-
Ter was notified.
Fisher is said to have had nett her
family nor friends.

He Who Would Get ON Best Must Have
Good Manners.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t is far to common habit with
many people to deprecate courtesy as a
superficial attraction, an unnecessary
hamper on social intimacy. 1t is
neither the one nor the other. 1t is
very rarely that courtesy in a man is
not the outward and visible sign OF
other admirable qualities within. 1t
is not necessarily an indication of
kindness of heart, but it is very often
it's outward manifestation, and, at any
rate, courtesy indicates that man is
not SO wrapped up in himself and his
own PROJECTIONS as to forget what is
due to other people, especially to
women. 1t oils The wheels of life and
good understanding, for every woman
will show to better advantage when
she feels safe from i'll manners and
tactlessness. A courteous man will
put woman on good terms with her.
self, and consequently on good terms
with him, whereby he reaps his reward
in many ways. Even q bad-tempered
shrew is not insensible to good man
ners; and calm courtesy will often
avert an attack of tantrumsn or hys-
terics. ttptgl
Seeing the enormous value of this
quality of courtesy in the appreciation
of men and women. 1t is very strange
that day by day the courteous man is
becoming more and more rare, until
soon the last specimen will have to be
captured or the Museum Of Natural
History, to be placed next to the dodo
among the extinct species. Bad man
ners rule the town, and are to be met
with where one would least expect them
to be found. The older men of the
present day still retain some traditions
| of that courtesy which distinguished
| their fathers, and which they have not
known how to hand on to their sons.
Such courtesy u.s. alas now condemned
as 'old-fashioned. " What would those
fcrefathers have said to the young man
of the present day who lounges into a
room full of ladies with both hands
| plunged in his trousers pockets; who
will stand and talk to a lady in the
same attitude; who will seat himself
at table before she is seated; who will
not rise to open the door for her il she
leaves the room; who will remain
seated when a lady stops to talk to him
in passing, and thousand other trivial
signs and tokens of lack of manners,
having their root in Incidence, eonceit
and selfshness? That the women OF
the present day are considerably to
blame for allowing young men to be-
have thus, instead of turning their
backs on them and serenity ignoring
them, is unquestionable; but 1.-TWO
