PREPARED FOR BUSINESS.

A brisk-looAing young man, with his hat tilted well back on his head and a small satchel in his hand. stepped in- side a lawyers office and said:
 T hope I am not intruding, sir. You are man of business and so am I, and I can tell you in one minute what am here for My observation is that five out of every six professional men in the large cities are addicted to the tobacco habit in some form or other. A habit, once formed, becomes second nature.
 '"There are thousands of men who spend their substance and drain their vitality by incessant smoking who would be glad to be released from the slavery whose chains they have fast ened upon themselves, and to such men I bring the means of deliverance. guarantee that this preparation"- here he took a. small package from his bag-"which is called 'Smokebane,' will cure the craving for tobacco in every form absolutely, in one month, or money refunded--'
 "Young man." said the lawyer, you are wasting your time on me. I am not slave to the tobacco habit. have no craving whatever for tobacco, though once in while I smoke cigar if it Is a good one"
 'Yes sir" interrupted the other, in turn. quickly replacing the package, in his bag and producing another one. Let me sell you box of the celebrat- ed 'Puefferino Perfectos' cigars, $2.50, 25 in box, couldn't sell them any if you were to tackle 1000, and warranted to be the best 10-cent smoke in the market"
 Before the lawyer fully recovered from his surprise he had bought the box and the brisk young man was up on the next floor hunting another slave to the tobacco habit.-Chicago Journal

BUILT A MONUMENT.
The Best Sort in the World.

"A monument built by and from Pos. tum," is the way MT. J. G. Casey of Ayers, Ill, describes himself. He says, For years I was a coffee drinker until at last I became terrible sufferer from dyspepsia, constipation headaches and indigestion, and was a physical wreck.
 The different kinds of medicines [ tried did not cure me, but finally some one told me I must leave off coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee. I waa fortunate In having the new coffee made strictly according to directior- so that, from the start, I liked 1t. It has a rich flavor and made the change from coffee to Postum without any trouble.
 Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared and l began to get well again. My appetite became good and I could digest food. Now M have been restored to strength and health. Can sleep sound all night and awake with a fresh and rested body. Everyone who meets me comments on my getting so fat and rosy.
 I am really a monument built by Postum, for I was a physical wreck. in body and mind, and am now strong, healthy man. l know exactly what made the change, it was leaving off coffee and using Postum"

THE FIRE BELLS RUNG
To Draw the People to See Young Woman Horsewhip a Dentist-How He Fscaped

| To Draw the People to See Young Woman Horsewhip a Dentist-How He Escaped.
 Local prejudice aginst Dr. c. D. | Driscoll, dentist of Paoli, Orange
 county led to a sensation in that coun- ty seat to-day and but for the prompt
 action of two or three cooler headed citizens distressing tragedy would
 have been enacted,
 Dr, Driscoll was accused, his friends say falsely, of having mistreated his
 family and was placed under arrest
 and taken to his office While still in
 charge of the officers the report was
 circulated that Miss Eva Miller a
 young woman who formerly resided at
 Paoli, had returned to the town armed
 with a cowhide and had expressed de-
 termination to give DriscolI a pub'ic thrashing. The fire bells were rung and the streets were soon crowded with people who answered to the alarm, and the crowds were notified of Dris- coils arrest and the presence of Miss Miller. The young woman showed up with whip in hand and ready for busi ness and followed by almost the entire population, she started toward Dris- coils office, where the officers had him in charge
 As the dentist saw the crowd coming he was informed of Miss DriscolPs threats and he broke away from the officers and entered another room. the door to which he shut and locked The officers demanded admittance and Dris- coll then threw open the door and stood behind a writing desk with revolver in each hand and sWore he would shoot the first person that crossed the thres- hold. The crowd fell back as they saw the determined attitude of tho dentist. but Miss Miller started toward him and was restrained with difficulty from en- tering, By this time the more conser- vative citizens realized that a tragedy was imminent and a compromise was suggested. Dr. Montgomery then read the letter that Driscoll had written Miss Miller and the indignation burst out 5fresh, but the dentist stood with two revolvers cooked and it was deem ed certain death to approach him, He finally agreed to make a public apolopy.
 The crowd fell back and he advanced to the front door, admitted writing, tba letter and expressed sorrow for it. but did not attempt a justification. He got 24 hours in which to leave the town, but when he pleaded that he could not wind up his business affairs in that time the limit was extended to 20 days and he promised to shake the dust Inf the place off his feet before tho lime expired,-From the Indianapolis Spe 7ial.

CASE OF ENGINEER WISHER
Continued from First Page.)

!
 When Sixty third street was reached
 it was found that the signals had been placed just as they were on the morn ing of the accident. A green light was easily dlscernable, and farther down | the track, near Fifty ninth street, the l red light shone plainly and the bell rang. Much to the surprise of the rail- way officials, however, the torpedo which had been set a few hundred feet toward Fifty eighth street, did not go off This torpedo is worked automat- ioally. As the danger signal is set
 lever pushes 1t toward the track, so that it can be caught by the f1anges on
 the wheels of the approaching engine
 Manager Franklin said, at first, that
 the reason the torpedo did not explode
 was because the fianges of the pony
 engine were not large enough, But
 at the request of MT. Garvan and Col
 onel Baker, one of the regular Central
 engines of the mogul type was sent for.
 Five trips were made with this en-
 zine, all of which failed to explode the
 torpedo. It was found that as the en-
 zine approached the lever both the lever and the torpedo sank too low for the aanges to reach the latter.
 While these tests were being made trains thundered by In the adjoining compartment of the tunnel, and as they passed, from time to time, the portion of the tunnel in which the Investigators were at work was so darkened by smoke and sulphurous vapor that noth- ing could be seen until a current of air carried the dense clouds away. Before the party left the scene of the disaster the deposition of John Dalton, the sig nal man at Fifty-ni street, was talk en- He affirmed that the torpedo had gone off on the morning of the acoi- dent It was nearly 2 o'clock when the party reached the Grand Central sta tton.
 Assistant District Attorney Garvan said, as he left the engine that he would make no statement until he had | laid the results of the trip before Dis- trict Attorney Jerome. State Commis- | sioner Baker said that he had gathered [ much useful information as the result of the days investiga ton, but was un- willing to make public any opinion un- til after he had prepared and submit ted his report to the state commission . in Albany.
 The most valuable Of the depositions taken was that of John H. Binham, night hostler at the roundhouse in the White Plains yards, He testified that Wisher was perfectly sober when he started from the place.

length of the road. The saddle cars, of course, are provided with brakes to ar rest their movement at the desired point
 The inventor claims various merits for his system. The number of cars to be used for a road materially reduces the number of trains by reason of the increased speed. That the running time of the train over the road will be very considerably shortened, is self evident Moreover, one train will be able to make many trips in day This system is to be used not so much for interurban traffic as for suburban traffic, for the purpose of enabling residents without the city to reach their destination as quickly as possible. The effect on the value of real estate is also not to be un- derestimated.-From the Scientific America.
