Harry Beardsley in Leslie's Week

called presence. or. in expressive
slang. front man so diminu-
tive that he was conspicuous in con-

women surrounding him-waS stroll.
lng about in the new laboratory Of
engineering of the Stevens Institute
of Technology in iIoboken. y. j., eX-
amining some very novel decorations
that had been contryed in his honor.
This small. unassumlng man was
Andrew Carnegie. whose career has
been one of the most striking in the
century the occasion was the for
nal transfer of this building from
Mr.. Carnegie, who built it. to the
college which he thus endowed.
And now that Mr. Carnegie is off
again for his Scotland castle ANNOUNCE
ing the distribution of another mil
lion for the cause Of education. this
occasion is recalled. because on that
evening Mr.. Carnegie was ''himSelf:"
he was thoroughly relaxed. talking
and acting in an entirely informal
way. He did not seem to feel that
he was on parade. = and this fur
nished an opportunity to observe the
master of iron in surroundings
that were of the personal and intl-
mate The very first impression
which unavoidably came at once to
my mind was that the mere matter
OF physique. of personal appearance.
has very little to do with man 5
getting ahead in the world.
There stood the Andrew Carengie.
who during the last year gave $50
ooo.o00 to education and who still re-
mains one of the worlds wealthiest
men. a man who has gone to the very
front in his walk of life. In his APP
pearance was nothing to suggest
that by the mere force of his physi-
cal personality, he would sweep OBJ
structions before him. On the con-
trary. it was apparent that there
must be other attributes of the man
that have resulted in his rise-attri-
butes that did not appear on the sur
face. The occasion, of course, did
not call for the exhibition Of any of
the sterner. stronger qualities.
There was nothing to do there but
return the advances of his friends in
the spirit Of politeness in which they
Were made.
But he seemed SO small. so gentle
and modest, that you looked in vain
in his conduct at that time for some
OF the forceful traits which he pos
sesses traits which he has exercised
to thrust himself ahead of those who
were in the race with him.

MOVEMENT OF CATTLE.
Thousands Of Cattle are Being Trans
ported Through Mitchell From
Ranges Oh Reservation.

The ability of the Milwaukee road
to handle the cattle tlansportations
is being somewhat taxed at the pres
cul time. The traffic in cattle is
something enormous. They arc being
taken from the range lands in Texas
and transported to the range lands
west Of Chamberlain, Pierre and
EyaLs. one ranch alone in Texas
the L ranch. has sent over 5000 head
up to EYarts to Craze on the rich
grass that abounds there so abund-
antly.
In the past week. Operator Meutcrs
informs us: at least nine extra
trains have passed over the Milway-
kce road and through this city, all Of
which were bound for Evarts, and
in that time 172 cars have been
transported successfully to their
destination. The movement of cattle
for the reservation west of Chamber
lain has not started as yet, it being
little early in the season when stock
is shipped out that way. Mr. Meu-
terS said that there were about II 900
more cattle to come through here
from Texas bound for Evarts.

In conversation with one OF the
freight conductors who took one of
the trains to Evarts. he said that the
handlers Of the cattle at Evarts had
a novel way in wlich to brand all
the cattle before they are taken
across the river to the reservation.
The railroad company provided a de-
vice for the men to facilitate the
work OF branding The cattle are
driven along through chute that
is quite narrow ut the bottom At
a certain point in the chute each
animal is stopped by means of a lever
that is thrown in front and behind
which holds it fast. In an instant a
red hot iron. with the owners brand
is placed against the exposed part of
the animal and in a seconds time
the animal is released from the smok-
ing iron. The rapidity with which
this is done is remarkable. The con-
ductor said that one day recently
while he was there that the men
branded 1.3o0 cattle in seven hours.

Cambridge, Nd, Sept. "A large
feet of longing boats sailed out of the
harbor yesterday, and the oyster rocks
of the Choptank were dotted with hun
dreds of these craft. Recent investiga-
tions have shown that the supply. on
the natural bars and rocks is very
little, if any, greater than at the close
Of the season last spring, and when
tongers returned yesterday they, too,
reported that oysters were very scarce
and that the rocks were almost, barren
of young growth. The days catch
showed an average of only six bushels
to a boat. This was in striking con
trast to the results OF few years back,
when, from 20 to 30 bushels was a
tonger's daily average. Only few Of
the packers have begun business, as
the demand for shucked stock is very
light. The price obtained today for
shell stock was 40 cents per bushel.4

TWENTY KILLED, EIGHTY INJURED.


An Excursion Train Rolls Down a Sixty

l. Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 9 While

ment near Berry, Ala, yesterday, the
engine and four cars of an excursion
tram, on the Southern railway leaped

With the exception of II. NJ. Dudley,
trainmaster of the Southern railway,
who lived at Birmingham, and Roscoe

tho first four cars with it. There were
10 cars in the excursion train, but the
fourth broke loose from the fifth and
with the heavy engine plunged down
the steep incline, The cars turned
completely over several times and were
crushed like eggshells, killing and
Gripping the inmates.

FOR A STRAIGHT TICKET.
Kent County Regular Repnblicansaysll Not

Kent County Regular RepnblicansaysllN Not
Unite With the Unions.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
Milford, Sept. AT special meet
ing OF the Regular Republican Kent
County Committee held here yesterday
afternoon the following resolution was
passed.:
Resolved That IL is the Recommendation
of this committee that the Republicans shall
nominate full county ticket, including
candidates for the respective county Offices
and for the Legislature, and that there
should be no provision made for Withdraw
ing the said candidates. A
Two years ago the county ticket
nominated by the Union Republicans
was endorsed by the Regulars, and
afterward they were repaid by abuse
and Sights of every description. So
this action is taken by the committee
that the convention of Tuesday, Septem-
Der 9th, may be led to act, indie
pendently.
1T is believed the Unions will be
ready to make concessions for the sake
of united vote-without which there
must be defeat--but the Regulars are
determined to have fair play or use the
privilege of selecting men for every
office to be filled at the next election.
Already the Addicks party has said,
through its leading men, that it would
be willing for tine sake of harmony to
conoeed two places on the county ticket
10 the Regulars; but this is not enough
to please the latter crowd, especially rs
those places selected are said to be tho
poorest plums OF the lot--that of county
| treasurer and coroner.

RESURRECTION REPORTED.
Sensational Story About Negro Who Wa
A- 6@ Hanged.

Sensational Story About Negro Who Was
AZ 6& Hanged.
Snow Hill, Md, Sept. IA rumor
is current among the negroes Of Snow
Hill that Asbury Dixon, the murderer
who was hanged last Friday, is still
alive and kept in hiding by Ernest
Dixon, one of his brothers, in Indian
town neighborhood.
The story goes that when the body
was taken to the home of Dixon's
brother, Ernest, the coffin in which it
was placed was put in the. house while
the undertaken was making final
arrangements for the burial. In his
absence q curious sound was heard in
the coffin and the lid was taken off by
the friends who had gathered for the
funeral. 1t was found that there were
signs of life, so the body was hastily
removed to another room and various
articles hurried into the coffin and the
lid replaced. This was, with all due
care, buried by the undertaken, who
went his way content in the belief that
his work had been we'll done. In the
meantime stimulants were applied to
| the man who had been pronounced
dead, and now he is in, hiding, watch
| ing for an opportunity to get out Of the
| UuuHbfJ diu hbdrbl lilo anew g.
The story is being freely circulated
among the negroes and is firmly be-
iieved by many. No credence, however,
is given to it by the white people. 1t
was q minutes before he was cut down
and life was pronounced extinct by the
surgeon in attendance. 1t brings to
mind, however, the threats said to have
been made by Dixon's brothers before
the hanging that it woula never take
| place. that Asbury would be taken away
from the sheriff, that he would not die
on the scafold. These threats are now
construed by some of the negroes to
have been prophecy and its fulfill
n,ent the report now being circulated.
But such stories are always current
among negroes who banker after the
supernatural. II.
In connection with the hanging a
superstition has come to light that q
piece of the rope used in an execution,
If placed around the neck of a man
afflicted with fits, will prove a sure
cure. When Somerfield Dennis was
hanged four years ago farmer in the
county secured a piece of the rope from
Sheriff Harrison to use for that pur
pose on one of his farmhands. Whether
IL was successful has not been reported

VIEW WAY 10 PROJECT ROSES.

Eben E. Rexford, in Lirpincotts Magazine.
Roses are generally considered hardy
plants, except at the extreme North,
hut the fact is, few varieties are suffi-
GENTLY hardy to stand the severity of
winter north of Philadelphia without
protection. They may come through
safely for some years in succession.
Then a peculiar season. happens along
and orr bushes are almost ruined by
If. In order to make sure of wintering
them well, it is quite necessary to pro
teot them in some way. Some persons
gather the stalks together and wrap
them in straw from the ground up.
This method is not always satisfactory.
The best system of protection for the
rose of which | have any knowledge is
that Of bending the bushes down upon
the ground and covering them with soil
to the depth Of five or six inches. This
plan, however, is adapted only to loca-
lions where surface water. Will run
away readily. Stagnant water about
rose branches in spring, before it is safe
TO uncover them, will always severely
injure them. In bending down. the
bushes. preparatory to covering them,
great care should be taken not TO break
or crack the stiff and somewhat brittle
stalks. Make your bends slowly and
gently In order to allow the. branches
to accommodate themselves to the strain
nut upon them. When you have them flat
upon. the ground, lay q piece OF sod upon
| hem to hold them in proper position
until you can give them their final COW
ering. Lay them all in tho sumo direc!
tion and as close together as possible
| to economize in covering material Old
and large stalks and the great canes of
| the climbing roses are exceedingly diff
cut to manage without injuring them.
To avoid the risk of breaking them, as
the result of too abrupt bend,
would advise heaping earth against the
base OF the plant, on the side towards
which the stalks are to. be bent, and
bending the bushes over it carefully
and slowly ,Thisa substitutes curves
for sharp bends and greatly simplifes
the work of caring for stubborn plants.
If'soil is used as covering, let it be as
light and, porous as possible. Leaves
are excellent, if one can get enough Of
them. Lay boards or evergreen branches
or wire netting over them to prevent
their being blown away. The harder
sorts of hybrid tea roses should have
their tops cut off close to the GROUND
and be covered with at least foot oi
leaves, confined within a pen of board;
or an old box. sfr,
