NEVER COME SINGLY.
HISTORY SHOWS TENDENCY OF
GREAT CALAMiTiES.
Regular Sequence Of Accidents Al.
ways Looked for by Experienced
Men-oueer Instances That Have
Been Recorded.

"Misfortunes never come singly." Is
a proverb we'll known in every Ian.
guage and devoutly believed by the
people of every nation. There seems
something fatalistic in the prompt
tude with which calamities tread on
one another's heels. One OF the
earliest sacred books of the Jewish
canon furnishes an illustration In
point, for in single day the oxen
and sheep, the camels and other
beasts of burden of the patriarch OF
Uz were swept away, his servants
were slain, his children destroyed, the
messengers following each other so
quickly that hardly was there time for
one dismal narrative to end ere an
other began. But we do not need to
go as far back as the days of Job
to find examples Of the rapid Sc
quence of misfortunes, according to
the st. Louis Globe.Democrat. Every
one knows that one accident or dis
aster is certain to be followed by an
other, sometimes Of similar character,
and having a visible connection with
Its predecessor, sometimes entirely
ASSOCIATED. so far as appearances go,
from everything that has preceded.
The clustering of accidents Is we'll
known among men in particular lines
OF business.
Every railroad superintendent
knows perfectly well that an accident
Involving considerable loss of life
will within few days be followed
by another so similar in It's leading
features as to make 1t seem as though
the second had been carefully pre-
pared on the details and after the
plan Of the first. All fire departments
understand that a great confagratior
is usually followed by a second and
often by a third within a few days,
insurance men have noticed that Q
fire occurring in a building devoted
to an unusual occupation is also fol
lowed at a short interval by a SECOND
fire in similar line, and that the
rule also applies to buildings devoted
to a particular, often common, kind Of
business. For a month or two II
sometimes seems to the insurance
country are devoted to destruction
then for long time the hat stores
will have immunity, while the shoe
stores. drygoods stores and groceries
are burning. The principle even ap
plies to smaller accidents and mis-
fortunes.
A surgeon in large manufactur
ing plant bears testimony to tho queer
| feet that whenever a mechanic come!
In with an injured thumb, necessitat
ing amputation, another accident o
| identical character will occur within
three days. No explanation Is fur
nished, perhaps in our present stat
Of knowledge no explanation is pos
sible, but the fact that one acciden
follows another without visible con
nection is too well known to b.
doubted.

In gambling one thing is certain,

they are unanticipated. One summer

was a youthful attache of the French
embassy. Without remark, this at

him that he had exceeded the limit.
The attatche was insistent. Norris

to accept chips the attache gathered
in his winnings and rejoined his
friends. Half an hour later he did the
same thing, and was again successful.
At frequent intervals he repeated his
trips, invariably winning, never once
losing until he had won $17,500, when
his friends carried him off. AS he
left, Morrissey remarked to a friend:
II never take the limit off that the
bank doesn't lose" Nevertheless, there
was profit on the nights play for

,rE UDuR Of GARLiC CONQUERED
Even SHE who Wasn't BIT stuck
Up Had to Leave Her Seat


Two Italian workmen found two
empty seats in Brooklyn trolley car
and pumped themselves and their
bundles into them. On their right sat
a pretty, well-dressed girl.
Presently she turned her face to-
ward them, look of disgust came
over it, and with uplifted nose she
arose and quietly stood in front Of the
empty seat, holding on to the strap.
Near her stood another girl, not quite
so we'll dressed, who watched the lit
tie scene. When the annoyance was
plain on the first girls face, the Sec
ond girl stepped forward, swshed her
skirts like challenge and sat down
in the empty seat with an expression
on her face that said plainly, We'll,
I'm not ashamed to sit by working
men," In less than a minute there
came over the second girls features
look Of suspicion that yielded to one
OF embarrassment and chagrin. and in
a manner half-meek and half-defiant,
she, too, stood up and grabbed strap.
She did not look at the now smiling
first girl. BY this time, says the New
York Mail and Express, other persons
in the car understood and held their
noses. 1t was garlic.

Hancock Regiment, No. 1, Union veter-
ans Union held a well-attended meeting
at its hall, corner 9Th and G streets north
west, Monday night Colonel Frank T.
Howe presiding. The COMMUNICATIVE chief
Of the order was present, and in the course
of stirring speech spoke of the rapid in
crease of membership in the order and Of
the interest and activity manifested by
members all over the country in local and
national politics. He spoke of the number
of Union veterans still living, and of the
great influence they exercised in the COM
munities in political affairs, carrying with
them, as they did, their sons, grandsons,
sons-in- law and nephews. He said it was
the aim of the Union Veterans Union to
unite the old soldiers and their relatives and
descendants into cohesive mass that
should vote only for those who would care
for the in terests of the union veteran He
said that while there was no feeling against
those who are ex-confederates, yet the fact
remains that they fought to destroy the
government, and that the Union veteran
should be preferred above all others.
