THE LITTLE, LITTLE ILoWEB.
Such a lite. little flower
Lay on my breast to-day;
q held IL but an hour
Ere they took II quite away
Twas so warm and pink and sweet,
can almost feel u yet,
More than once our lips did meet
Yet they think can forget
For this little, little flower
Was the baby from next door
j could hold II for an hour
II I'd sit upon the foor.
II has eyes like pansles blue,
And its cheeks are rosy-plnk;
Oft kissed IT, and II knew
That 1 loved IT well, i think.
Now this little, little flower
Curled It's little hand IN mine,
And for all that happy hour
| kept thinking oh! how fine
'Twould be, if only dared
Ask TO have a doll so dear
But they didn't think j cared,
So they left me sitting here;

POWER OF THE HYPNo list.
Scientific Wonder Disconnected b.
Subsequent Happening.

II was last Friday afternoon, while
| was going up Columbus avenue in
an electric car. that a man entered
at sixty-ffth street, and took a seat
directly opposite me- At the next
corner another man entered, and, for
want Of a seat, held TO a strap.
"Fares!" cried the conductor as he
held his open hand in front of the
newcomer, who shook his head.
Give me a seat, and will pay"
said the passenger.
PAY or will put you on" answer
ed the conductor.
Try II and will throw you
through the window" replied the pas
senger.
The usual talk INDUCED in under
such circumstances began, and the
other passengers took apparent inter.
est in II. The man who had entered
at Gixty-ffth street got into quite
discussion with the passenger next TO
him, and after a minute IL ended by
each OF them displaying a five dol
lar note

Sixty-ffth street man. can put that
brute off without any trouble. Here
hold these bills, and IL ! get him to
go they are mine, and II don't give
them TO this man"
The conductor, glad TO be relieved
took the money, and the Sixty-fiftt
street man began TO make gentle
passes with wiggling fingers in front
OF the non-fare-paying passengers
face. Then he gently beckoned him
as he moved backward, and, much to
our astonishment, the man who
wouldn't pay followed him to the
street. Leaving him standing there
in an apparently dazed condition, the
hypnotist boarded the car. got his
ten dollars, and away he went
AT the next corner | got off, and so
did the hypnotist. He walked down
the street, met the man he had put
OF the car and the two entered

A DIFFICULT SCISSORS FEAT.

Take pair OF scissors mot too large,
and hang them on your little finger, as
shown in Fig /. The trick is 10 throw
them upward and toward you in such
n manner that when you have brought
the backs of your hands together the
blades will be pointing upward, as in
Fig. ..
This is another of those seemingly
simple tricks. but key Is required to
unlock it, rs you will find by repeated
experiments before it Is given you.
When you have hung the scissors as
explained above simply throw them
upward and toward you, with the
hands held open and placed together
in such way that when the scissors
reach them they dhe scIssors) will rest

A swinging radiator, suitable for
steam or hot water, is a recent Offering
Of an American manufacturer. One
naturally questions the demand for
such n design. but the actual market
ing Of the type In large numbers during
the past seasons proves that the device
has n niche of its own to I'll. The dis
tingushing characteristic OF the radi-
ator Is that II is hung upon pivot, and
can be swung back again to the wall
when not in use, and out into the room
when greater heat is desired. The
entire weight of the radiator is sus-
tanned by the top wall bracket, the
working connections at the bottom car
rying practically no weight. The ques-
ton OF leakage Of steam or water at
the Joint has been cared for in the
union in practical and successful
manner. AS these radiators, according
to the maker. are in special demand for
hospital work. they are made as plain
rs possible to reduce to minimum
lurking places for dust and its accom-
panying hosts OF germs.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Sir Hector Macdonald Kills
Himself in a Hotel
in Paris.
WOULDN'T FACE COURTMARTIkL
Ends Troubles of This World With a
Revolver Shot-Beleved Newspaper
Account of Charges Against Him
Prompted the Deed.

Paris, March 26-Maior General Sir
Hector Macdonald, commanding the
British forces in Ceylon, and one Of the
foremost officers in the British army.
against whom charges based on i'm
moral acts were fled some time ago.
committed suicide at the Hotel Re.
gina, He shot himself in the right
temple shortly after noon and ex-
pired a few minutes later. The gen.
eral was alone in his small chamber
on the mezzanine floor of the hotel
at the time of the tragedy. One OF
the female attendants heard the pistol
shot, and opening the door, saw the
generals figure stretched out on the
floor with the blood gushing from a
bullet wound in the head. She ran
screaming TO the balcony overlooking
the lobby of the hotel, where many
guests, including a number of ladies,
were assembled.
The proprietor of the hotel was the
first to reach the expiring man. Medi-
cal help was Immediately summoned,
but was found to be useless, death
ensuing quickly on the fatal act. The
commissary of police was notified
and, accompanied by doctor, pro-
ceeded to a preliminary investigation.
No money or papers of any kind were
found in Sir Hector's baggage. Two
notes, written in English, were found
lying on a table in his room and these
were taken possession of by the au-
thorities, but it is understood that
their contents have no bearing on the
suicide. In the generals coat, lying
on the bed, were found some photo
graphs. The British embassy and
consulate were notified later, and Con.
sui General Inglis took charge of the
body, which was placed on the bed.
The door was then locked, the consul
general taking the key. The French
officials took possession of the re-
yolver, which was Of nine millimetres
calibre and apparently new.
Sir Hector Mcdonald arrived in
Paris last Friday evening from Lou
don, on his way back to Ceylon, where
it was understood that an immediate
ceurtmartial would be held to clear up
the charges made against him. Upon
reaching the hotel at IL o'clock at
night he was told that only small
and Indifferent room was available.
He replied that that was quite sufi.
Gent. He said he only intended to
stay day or two in Paris. Little
was seen of him since his arrival He
was, however, in the lobby about noon
and 1t is believed that a newspaper,
printed In English, containing a
resume of the grave charges brought
against him and embellfshed with the
generals portrait in full uniform,
came under his attention. He left the
lobby, going to his room, and the pis.
toll shot followed soon after.

ting of contracts to that end have
been issued by George Gould who is
head OF the Wabash system over
President Ramsey Of the Wabash
road. President Ramsey has gone
East on leave OF absence.
Chief Engineer Patterson of the
Wabash has been told to get his
plans into condition to let the con-
tracts immediately. Thecontracts
are expected TO be in the hands of
those who are to perform them,
within the next sixty days
1t will cost seven and one half
millions to construct the lines. The
grades are not over one per cent any
where. The load is to be sixty
miles long from Pittsburg to Union
town being ten miles shorter tnan
the B. IL O. or Pennsylvania.
BY connecting with the road into
Pittsburg on the west of the city
the road will avoid the congestion of
city yards and can get coke and
coal into Chicago from Uniantown
two days quicker than its rivals,
All rights of way needed have
been secured. There is nothing in
the way of this road being built.
The closest point it comes to Nor
gantown is where 1t crosses the river
at Little Whitley creek. Spurs and
switches will be placed so that the
road may get at the immense coal
fields which it traverses.
IL is stated that for the time being
nothing is TO be done IN regard to
the connection south by way of
Morgantown to Belington from the
mouth of Whitley. This line was
projected some time ago and some
charters aud rights OF way have
been secured along the proposed
route
With the Wabash so close how
ever it can he but matter OF time
until Morgantown shall have con
nection with it. The road will be
so close that connection cannot be
prevented.
The Greene and Fayette county
extension will he made within
very short time and before long both
counties will be strongly invaded
By the Wabash. The Pennsylvania
and b. & o. seem TO be powerless
to keep it out.

town aud vicinity as suitable place
TO- " hich TO remove their manufac
turing plant, now located in Pitts
burg. Originally engaged in manu-
featuring small toilet, souvenir and
advertising mirrors their business
has grown to such propo tions that
they must enlarge their plant, and
propose to add the manufacture of
mantel and furniture mirrors to
their present business. They have
capital stock of $4,000. and pro-
pose to locate here upon condition
that site aud $4,000 to defray the
expense OF moving their plant and
relocating here can be secured.
Mr.. Sturgiss has agreed to donate
the and with frontage on the M.

purpose, and a subscription paper
has been started and nearly one
third of the amount required as a
bonus has been pledged
The proposition will be held open
until next Saturday, although they
have been urged to locate elsewhere,
Ii the bonus is raised the work of the
building will begin In April They
will bring at once with them eight
families and about so work people,
and this number will be increased to
about 100 as soon as the enlarged
WORKS are completed. These parties
COME highly endorsed as successful
manufacturers, whose products are in
great demand. Mr.. f. B. Bannister
has handled large quantity of their
goods and finds them good sellers.
They are represented in New York
by the great importing house of Straus
Bros. & Co., and in San Francisco by
Cowen Heineherg Company. They
do not ask any stock subscription but
would be willing TO place limited
amount of stock IN the community so
that they may interest and associate
with them some OF our own people.
Subscriptions to the bonus are now
being solicited and we hope that every
one Of our people who are interested in
building up the town will subscribe or
contribute something to secure this
new and varied industry.

Condition of Affairs in Postoffice De.
partment IntoIerabIe and a Weed
ing Out. Expected Soon.

Washington, March 26.-It was
learned at the postoffice department
that while the resignation of George
W. Beavers as chief of the salary and
allowance division was voluntary, it
is but the forerunner of number of
other designations which soon are to
follow. It is said that condition of
affairs has grown up in the depart.
ment which has become intolerable
and that there is to be wedding out
of number of chiefs of division and
clerks.
The postmaster general and his
first assistant are said to be in entire
accord in the matter, but it is stated
that the opportunity first will be
given the parties concerned to sub
nit their designations. As a result
of this announcement there is more
or less CONSERVATION among the en-
ployes in the department, it being
understood that the decision to weed
out a number of officials has been
definitely determined upon.
