PLANS that WENT WRONG.


Showing How Hard It 10 to Drive
Folks into Mztrimony.
Once upon a time, before everybody
had learned to attend strictly to his
own affairs, a man and a maid were In
love with each other, but, though this
was patent to all their friends, neither
of them knew it. However. their
friends said unanimously: I'VE viii
demonstrate 1t to them and write a
triumphant @. E D. upon their we'd
ding morn"
Therefore, the maid never was in
vited anywhere that she did not find
the man invited also, nor was the man
invited anywhere but that he found
the maid likewise a guest. Further
more, the man always was detailed to
take the maid in to dinner, and they
could not SO much as glance at each
other without everybody else having
an errand out of the room, and society
became a vast mandatory of oppor-
tunities for them to revel in each
others company alone and undis-
turbed- Now, before this had time to
become habit with them, both the
man and the maid penetrated the dark
plot.
Whereupon the maid tossed her
head, saying: They needn't think ]
have only one chance" and immedf
stely betrothed herself to an impeculi
Gus fortune hunter whose only rec
ommendation was his title.
: And thereupon the man hastily mar
ried himself to a grass widow from
Chicago, whose reputation, they dc
say, was responsible for the big fire..
Consequently all their friends nod
ded their heads sage1y, and whispered
to each other, Didn't tell you SOP

First Aid In Railroad Accidents.

In letter addressed to the railroad
officials of the country Mrs. Maud Bal
lington Booth makes a suggestion
which is pertinent and timely as well
as humane and practical. 1t is SIM
ply that medicines, anasthetics and
first aid appliances should be fur
nished to railroad conductors for imme-
diate use In case of accident
AT present the only available articles
on railroad trains are the ak and saw,
which are rarely if ever used, because
they cannot be found in case Of acci-
dent, or if found cannot be used. As
a rule, they are only reminders of the
possibility of accident. In making her
suggestion Mrs. Booth asks: "Why not
equip every train, or, better still, the
conductor of each train, with small
case containing chloroform, ether, stim-
ulants, bandages, lotions for bruises,
antiseptic solutions for the washing of
wounds? These could be packed in
small case and would represent no
costly outlay"
The urgency for such aids as Mrs.
Booth suggests is emphasized by the
fact that in many recent accidents the
loss of life might have been lessened
and much unnecessary suffering pre-
vented by the prompt appliance of
these remedies and appliances. In case
of accident every moment is of value.
Prompt aid could not save those fatally
hurt. but it could save them much pain.
The suggestion of Mrs. Booth is easy
of adaptation and comparatively mex.
pensive. So simple is it that the won
der is that it was not long ago adopt
ed. 1t would help to minimize suffer
ing and might in many instances save
life.

PAlATlAl RAILWAY DEPOT,
Structure at Washington Expected
to Cost Not Less Than 81, 900, 900,

Structure at Washington Expected
to Cost Not Less Than S4,OOO,OOO.
A rough sketch from which the final
drawing will be made of the union
railway station to be built at Wash
ington was received recently from the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, says
the New York Times. The act of con-
gress authorizing the structure stipu-
lates that the minimum cost of the sta
ton shall be $4,00O,0OO and that it
shall be completed within five years.
The original plans were for a monu-
mental station, with accommodation
for thirty-six tracks and built of white
marble. 1t is believed these plans will
be carried out
The Washington authorities are au-
thorized to lay out circle or plaza at
the intersection of the avenues in front
of the station and to lay out and open
streets leading to the circle. This great
plaza in front of the station will afford
ample space for the accommodation of
troops or organizations going to or COM
ing from the trains in bodies. 1t will
afford easy access to the station by
street car lines and effectually prevent
the congestions so common in the vi
cinity of railway stations, besides add
ing greatly to the architectural effect
of the structure.

The president will remain in and
around the mountains until it is time
to board his train for st. Louis, where
he will attend the dedication of the
worlds fair grounds on April so. He
will then return to the west, probably
going over the southern route, and will
be the guest of the California q. A. r.
at San Francisco about May I.
While in California the president
received formal invitation from that
city in the shape of key of solid
gold. Around its stem is splendidly
engraved crown, emblematic of the In
dian name of Pasadena, 'the crown
of the valley" The invitation is ex-
tended by the mayor and business men
of the city. The key is over four
inches long and is a good representa-
ton of the mammoth keys of olden
days.
From San Francisco he will travel
north through the Siskiyou mountain
range. While in the Siskiyous the
president may add mountain climbing
as diversion to his second western
trip. 1t is said that he and his party
will attempt the ascension of Mount
Shasta, the giant of the Siskiyous
which rears its lofty peak 14,4O1 feet
above the level of the sea.
Shasta is one of the most difficult
mountains to ascend. There are count
less deep canyons and cutoffs that are
the dread of expert mountain climbers
The mountain is covered with snow
almost from its base all the year
around, and at the top the snow is
hundreds Of feet deep.
Hundreds have started to climb
Mount Shasta. but few have reached
the top. and Mr.. Roosevelt will find it
the most strenuous job he has ever
undertaken.
Continuing north, the president will
be in Portland. Ore. when ground is
broken for the Lewis and Clark expo
sition some time in May. The itinerary
is not yet complete, but it is known
that it will include many of the north
western cities He will attend ban
quet in his honor given by the Young
Mems Republican club of Seattle. Ia
coma will also celebrate his visit. The
president will return over one of the
northern roads and stop at points in
Idaho. Montana, the Dakotas and Min
nesota. He will not be back in the
White House until late in May or early
In June.

NEW LEATHER FROM INDIA.
Beautiful Product WHICH Reflects
Many Colors.

Northern India, the storehouse for SC
many strange articles of commerce
has again opened the doors of its treas.
u:e chambers to put a new product on
the market, which will soon make its
appearance on this side of the water
says the Boston Herald.
When the nabobs, rajahs and poten-
tates gathered at Delhi from all over
India to attend the durbar to hear Ed
ward VII. of England proclaimed en-
peror and to join in the celebration of
the great event, there came one rajah
bringing presents of all manner Of
strange things TO the viceroy, Lord
Curzon. Among other gifts were a
large numbe of whole skins of beauti.
fully tanned leather.
The source of the supply was not
then divulged Neither was the process
by which the skins We're prepared ex-
planned, and the mystery altogether
created great deal of interest Tough
aud at the same time almost as flexible
as rubber, the quality of the skins de-
noted the highest perfection of the tan
ner's art. Belts and other articles used
for wear or ornament were made and
extensively worn, while the product
was named, in honor of the viceroy,
CurZon leather.
By some art in the tanning the outer
surface of the skin is colored in
great variety of tints. The basic color
is pearl gray, while little corrugations
on the surface reflect, when a piece Of
the goods is moved about In the light,
dozen different colors. At one time
the piece will take on the coppery tints
of the sunset at another brilliant
green's show up, then copper green and
gold intermingled. and still again the
appearance is similar to that of piece
of frosted silver.
The possibilities offered for making
the beautiful stuff into wrist bags,
belts, automobile bags and other arti-
cles for feminine use are unlimited.
and already manufacturers are taking
advantage of their opportunities. \

has watched this with the closest in
tercst and has frequently compliment
ed the solicitor general on his work
Judge Richards is a native Of Ohio
and was graduated from Harvard at
the age of thirty.two. He studied law
and after his admission TO the bar rose
rapidly in his profession. He began
practice in his native city
In 1889 he was elected state senator.
Although the legislature was Demo
cratic in both houses that year, Mr..
Richards was really the leader of the
body in which he served and was the
acknowledged leader Of the Republican
party. When Mckinley was nomi-
mated for governor of Ohio in 1891,
Mr.. Richards was nominated for attor-
nsy general of the state and was
elected.
In selecting the delegates TO the Re-
publican national convention of 1896
from the Tenth Ohio district n scheme
had been concocted by the enemies Of
Mckinley whereby the delegates were
be chosen by primary, which might
have chosen delegates opposed to the
nomination Of Mckinley. 1t was due
TO the efforts of Mr.. Richards that
the scheme was defeated. and Judge
Thompson and Mr.. Richards were
chosen as delegates.
When President Mckinley came to
fill the post of solicitor general of the
United States he selected Judge Rich
ards, whose legal ability had been
proved while he was attorney general
of Ohio. Judge Richards was married
in 1890 to Miss Anna Willard Steece.
He is forty-seven years old.

Russian EntOmologist's Novel Meth
cd of Developing Them.
A new method of feeding trees and
plants without the agency of the roots
has been discovered by the well known
Russian entomologist, NJ S. A. Mo-
krshezki, who has explained his dis
covery in lecture before the Imperial
Botanical society of st. Petersburg,
says the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser. He has invented apparatus by
which he can introduce into the stems
of apple and pear trees salts of iron
either in the form of a solid or in solu-
ton. The effect of the chemicals is, on
the one hand, completely to cure the
tree of chlorose, and on the other to
stimulate its growth in an important
degree.
Among other extensive researches
the scientist has applied his theory to
800 fruit trees growing on the south
ern shore of the Crimea. By introduc-
ing dry sulphate of copper into the
stems he produced an unusual develop
