the following quaint letter, dated Men

to the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat:
Dear Mr. Deputy-It is impossible to
grant you a visit. Even If you were
king I would have to refuse. Sorry to be
Obliged to tell you this.

ANARCHISTS CONVENTION.
May Radically Affect All EurOpe's
Crowned Heads.

The New York Telegram prints a
story to the effect that anarchists
from all over the world are about to
meet in a secret meeting to devise
plans that radically affect the crowned
heads OF Europe. All preparations for
the convention were carefully guard
ca, but the plans became known
through the boastful talk of a youthful
delegate to the convention from New
York. This man, an Italian known as
"Agele" and Rudolph" gave up his
place on Saturday, declaring that he
had been selected as one of five dele
gates from the United States to the
convention.
The Evening Telegram says: Gar
reaching anarchistic plans are to be
discussed and perfected at this world 8
convention, it is said, and it is even
whispered that ere an adjournment is
taken a meeting of anarchists will
have been held and this will assign
men to deeds, the full accomplishment
of which may shape the destinies OF
the reigning houses of Europe"
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1903-03-04

They told one story on one train of
an engineer on another line who was
running at fifty second clip through
a ten mile stretch of forest with more
than dozen crowded cars when his
pipe went out. His racing locomotive,
so the tale ran, was one of the newest
type, built to meet the requirements of
modern traffic. The firebox was the
full width of the widest sleeping car,
so that the greatest volume and pres
sure of steam could be developed. This
left no room for the crew to stand be-
side it. So the driver stands all alone
in his cab just back of the roaring
stack, where his view of the track is
of the best, and his stokers-for there
often must be more than one-protect-
ed by a massive steel wind shield, leap
from tender to furnace on a narrow
firing deck set low down at the rear of
the whole machine.
This engineer struck several matches,
but he couldn't hold the fire. Then, so
the story went, he climbed out Of his
GdOy OuSh cl1OA1S ILiO A4lLAON
board, through the wind shield to the
firing deck, lit his pipe, spoke to his
subordinate and then slowly wendeG
his way back to where he belonged. A
casual observer with frightened face
glued to the pane of the forward car
did not compute the time all this took,
for he was glad only to know that he
was alive. This story created not even
surprise in the little group that heard
it.
A grizzled engineer who has spent
the greater part Of his life at the lever
put the proposition this way:
"By law it is required that every
ferryboat shall carry two men in her
pilothouse. The law is obeyed, too,
except in emergencies. River pilots
come cheaper than locomotive engi-
neers, but is it not strange that the
great transportation companies do not
find it to their own best interests, in
the light of so much past experience,
to urge the passage Of a measure pro-
viding that on all fast passenger trains
there shall be a pilot engineer? What
comparison can be drawn between the
horrible possibilities of wild steam
boat and runaway engine? The pilot
engineer would have nothing to do
with the operation Of the locomotives
mechanism. His function would be to
watch the track, to report signals and
to watch tbs other engineer"

EVERYBODY Eats Onions.

Visitors to Boyonne, N. j., these
days carry smelling-bottles in their
hands, and get out of town as quickly
as possible. The reason is that every
body in Boyonne is eating onions. at
every meal and between meals. The
natives do not mind it; it is the other
fellows who get the smell. The rea-
son for the wholesale onion eating is
the fact that there is smallpox in town
and the belief is general that the
esculert bulb is a preventive of the
disease. The health officer says "eat
onions" and everybody is obeying
orders

ASHES THROWN INTO RIVER
REQUEST OF WILLIAM ESSEX is CAR.
RlED OUT BY HIS WIFE.
On His Deathbed the mayor of Happy
Hollow" Asked That His Ashes Be
Scattered on the Mississippi.

From the middle span of Eads Bridge
the widow of William Essex, "Mayor
of Happy Hollow" East ST. Louis,
scattered his ashes into the river.
The silver plate which had been fast
ened on the casket was also thrown in
to the river.
This disposition of Essex's ashes was
in accordance with his last wishes as
expressed to his wife and several
friends on his deathbed.
Essex was known to almost every
one in East ST. Louis, and to many in
ST. Louis. He had remunerative
business in dealing in coal, wood and
ice, and was looked upon as the chief
Justice in the affairs of "Happy HOl-
low," in this way getting his title.
Previous to his settlement in Hap
py Hollow" he had been pilot on the
Mississippi river for seventeen years.
1t was because of his long service on
the river and his love for it that on his
death bed he secured the promise of his
wife to have his ashes scattered on the
bosom of the great river
the residents of Happy Hollow" but
by many employees Of the St. Louis
Terminal railroad who had known Es-
sex.
Accompanied by several friends Mrs.
Essex received the ashes of her hus-
band at the NJ issouri crematory. They
were placed IN an ordinary paste board
box, which was wrapped up and car
ried by one of Mrs. Essex's attend
ants
Mrs. Essex led the little party of
mourners, and after leaving the tower
on the west side of the river she no
ticed that the wind was very strong
from the south and suggested that
they had better cross to the north side
of the bridge, so that the ashes of her
husband would be blown into the wa
ters of the Mississippi according to his
last wish.
In the middle of the center span of
Eads bridge the party stopped. Mrs.
Essex leaned out beyond the bridge
railing and slowly scattered the ashes.
AS the dust left the box they were
taken by the wind and carried hundreds
of feet away from the bridge TO be scat
tered to all parts of the stream. AS
the last portion of the ashes we're scat
tered Mrs. Essex dropped the box.
"Poor Bill" she mUaned. II have
nothing now by which to remember
him. 1t was his wish, and he made
me promise that l would scatter his
ashes into the river, ana | have done
my duty"

BURIED HER PRIDE FOR ST.:
Poor Woman Took Money Preach
err Offered in Public.

1t cost the Rev. William r. Newell
of Chicago 81 to preach a sermon on
pride Sunday night. Mr.. Newell,
speaking in the Moody church, was en-
deavoring to show that too much pride
was bad thing, but that most of US
are afflicted that way.
"Here is a DOLLAR" he said "and I
am going to give it to anyone who can
bury their pride long enough to admit
that you need the money"
He paused a moment and then con-
tinued trlumphantly;
"See, told you so. Not one of you
would sell your worthless pride for a
good American dollar"
Just then a shabby little woman, her
face wrinkled with age, came down
the isle, took the money and retreated.
Those nearest her heard her say: II
need the money. | am too poor to
have any pride"
For a moment the preacher was
speechless.
"Take it, and God bless you," he
stammered.
The woman who buried her pride
for 81 refused to reveal her name, but
did not hesitate to tell why she accept
ed the money.
81 am too old to work." she said,
"and for some time have been living
with my sister, who has little enough
on which to support me. When Mr..
Newell offered the dollar l hesitated
at first, then felt compelled to accept
his money. l shall! take it home and
give it to my sister. She needs it,
heaven knows, and after all what is
pride to me ,"
