THE FATAL GRADE CROSSING.
w. c. Dodge's Letter to the House Dis
trict Committee.

w. C. Dodge has written a letter to the
House committee on the District OF Colum-
bia giving the number Of people killed on
the steam railroads in the District since
1873 to date as 1853, sxty-five Of whom were
killed on the Baltimore and Ohio, 100 on
the Baltimore and Potomac and one on
the Chesapeake and Ohio. Those injured
during that time number 362.
Mr. Dodge remarks that no argument is
needed to show the danger Of grade cross
ings. He takes the position. however, that
the railroads should be made to bear the
total expense of the proposed elevation of
tracks and construction of a union station,
and gives as weight to his argument that
in other large cities the roads have to bear
this expense themselves.

The Typical Tramp.

There is no such thing as "typieal
tramp" incarnate, says Cloudesley
Johns, tramp himself. in an article
on tramps. He has his existence only
in comic weekly and the newspaper
supplement. The average hobo under
different environment would be the
average man; under his existing en-
vironment he approximates thereto,
though that environment tends strong
~ to multiplication of types rather
than to uniformity. Consider that
your hobo travels many thousand
miles in year, visiting places of In
terest and large cities, besides-in a
majority Of cases-doing many differ
emit kinds of work. And even the yegg
man, the unmitigated beggar of the
road, with his telltale visage and man
ner, is widely varied in general appear
ance, habits Of thought and business
methods. - Frank Lesie's Popular

Whose domain is a aowerland beneath

Aforetime Robber Winter bound the gall

And mewed him in dungeon cold, with

Sang welcome to the Golden Prince, and

Whose jeweled trappings flashed and

cold Patch" the Forser.

:. IS :
It was about the year 1884 that
the first forgeries on a very large
scale were discovered by the Bank
of England, and these were done by
one man, known from his favorite
disguise as "Old Patch" BY q
large issue of notes spread over q
long period he defrauded the bank
Of more than 100000, and, having
only one confidante, his mistress,
great difficulty was experienced in
tracing the source Of. the forgeries.
"Old Patch," in his checkered career
Of lottery Office keeper, stock broker
and gambler, had given bank notes
careful study, and acquired q knowl-
edge Of engraving, paper making and
printing. He made his own ink,
manufactured the paper and printed
the notes on private press. In
various DISCUSSES he hired boys
from the streets to present the
notes. Suspicion was at last
aroused by his movements; he was
thrown into prison, where he
cheated the law by hanging him

PEN POINTS.

Police sometimes get those who help

There is period in every girls life
when she dislikes her surname.
There are probably two historical
farsehoods for each historicalf fact.
The tastes of a millionaire are often
imprisoned in a 1auper's purse.
Pride makes some people ridiculous
and prevents others from becoming SO.
: Virtue is its own reward and genius
is frequently found in the same class.
A genius is man who is able to dis

CLANS TRAP FOUNDERS.
n Somewhat Fi.hy story That Comes
from q Town ON the Coast
of Maine.

The story of how "Sam" Perkins,
the village barber, has succeeded in
cutting the price of founders, by
using. chained clans for bait and
making a hitherto elusive fish an
easy captive, is exciting considerable
interest, and outside Of Standpoint
has caused some incredulity, says
the New York Herald.
Such CLANS as are taken out with
the fork or lifted from their element
by receding ice at once begin an ear
nest struggle to hide below earth,
opening and closing their shells in
an effort to bury themselves.
The barber also knew that when a
clam closes it's shell the grip is firm
and lasting. With these two facts
in mind he proceeded to work out
his scheme.
AS soon as the great ice cakes
from the Penobscot river had
grounded in Gundalow Cove Perkins
went to the flats at low water, and
digging pail Of large CLANS, bored
hole in every shell and inserted a
chain in the holes, leaving the clans
lying about on top of the mud. Then
he cleared several rods of the flats
of ice, casting it adrift in fragments,
and waited for the tide to come in,
Until the barber had removed the
ice the flats were cold and lacking
in the good cheer which fish require,
but as soon as the chilly cakes had
gone the sun warmed the mud, and
when the tide came stopping along
the beach the founders followed,
seeking out the warmest spots az
suitable places to take sun bath.
"A founder is constructed on the
plan of snowshoe, mostly width
and length, with no thickness that
is worthy Of attention. AS the fish
spread their fat sides out on the
warm ooze and made ready to take
comfort their fins and tails came in
contact with the CLAIMS, which had
opened their shells and were striving
to cover themselves with mud. No
sooner did the delicate mechanism
inside the CLANS feel the touch of
the founders than the shells closed
with snap and held on with the
zeal of bulldogs.
When the tide receded the barber
walked along the beach with bas-
ket and picked up his chained CLAIMS,
nearly all of which had caught one
or more founders.
