Col. Marchand then continues:
II bowed, but made, no reply. Gen.
Kitchener rose. He was very pale. l
rose also. He cast his eye over his
numerous fotilla, where his men, who
mustered at least 1000, were huddled to-

bayonets could be seen glistening.

Altered Horse Thief.

The Winona police rounded up q
stranger who is alleged to be a horse
thief. He gave his name as M. Kings
ley, and the police say he told conflict
ing stories, one of which was that he
is railway detective. He was over
taken by Herman Bratz, a farmer, on
the opposite side of the river in Wis
consip. and was given q ride. When
they came into the city, it is alleged,
Bratz left his team tied in the street
while he went into a store. Coming
out twenty minutes later the team and
stranger were gone. The police found
Kingsley little later in the lowe r
part of the city.

Qn Many Places the Rails Seem to Be
Hanging In the Air.)
~
In Initiating them. . BY the ingenious
system of fanges it is made practically
impossible for a car to leave the track.
On some parts of the line the rails
seem to be hanging in the air. In such
places the supports of the ties are an
chored to the rocks with beams of steel,
so that the vibration is scarcely per-
cepttble, and there is no danger of the
structure giving way. In spite of this
security many a tourist who had
planped to make the ascent has turned
back with a faint heart at the first
glimpse of the perilous looking suspen-
sion track.
The building Of the road was haz-
ardous undertaking. Nothing so auda-
cious in the construction of trolley lines
had ever been attempted. In transport
Ing the materials up the steep ascents
burros were tried. if any beasts of bur-
den are sure-footed under such circum-
stances burros are, but the little ami
mails were unequal to the requirements
and the rails, ties and other materials
of construction were carried up by men,
who proceeded with utmost caution
around the sharp curves, yawning
chasms and lodges, where the workmen
were often held in place by a line IT
rope in the firm grasp Of their helpers
above and below.
The cars were constructed without
compartments, OF even awnings, as it
was desirable that the least reaLstance
to the wind possible might be secured.
A railing Of steel surrounds the plat
form Of each car, and no passenger is in
danger of tumbling of unless he loses
his head through sheer fright 1t IL
unnecessary to erect signs on this line,
warning pedestrians to keep of the
track, for no pedestrians ever wander
along the roadbed.

fully qualify himself for successful
career.
After having thus spent over q year
with Hungerford & Hotaling young
Herrick commenced the practice Of law
in 1870. He very soon exhibited the re.
suit of ample preparation and full
study by the skill and ability he dis
played, though his income was for 4
time not embarrassing in its magn1-
tude. He had the experience in the
early days of his profession Of some
celebrated cases, and made an energetic

flee in 1880, and was reelected in 1883
He was afterward appointed corpora
ton counsel by Mayor Thacher, and in
the fall of 1891 was elected to the SUI
preme court, third department.
Judge Herrick supported Bryan and
the democratic platform in 1896. When
Senator McCarren was chairman of the
special committee appointed in Sara
toga to carry out the preliminary work
of the state campaign in 1898 Judge
Herrick was mentioned as candidate
for the governorship, and it was said
David B. Hill was in favor of his candi-
dacy and that he would also have tho
support of the Croker-Murphy COM
bination Of that period.

The thieves came in the night with

and hauled it away.
Mr.. Silver's lawn has been in an Inn
poverished condition all summer and
few days ago he had the entire surface
peeled and resodded. One morning he
remarked to his friends that with tho
continued warm weather it.would get Q
good start before freezing time.
The next morning his hopes were
shattered, for his lawn was gone and
nothing remained but the soft black
loan. Wagon tracks near the curb
told the story. The robbers came
some time between II at night and 5
o'clock in the morning, doing their
work we'll No one saw the wagon
come or go. All that remains for Mr..
Silver is to order new lawn with .
burglar alarm attached.

Fink, Of Winfield, Kan, 10 full Of inter
est. Col. Fink was born at Garfield,
O.. the seat of Mahoning academy,
where Molly Reed, who later became the
wife Of Speaker Cannon, was : school
girl. The charms Of this young wom-
an, who was the flower of that then
western settlement, are interestingly
described by Col. Fink in his reninis-
cences Of northeastern Ohio. 'SS'S :.
''That section produced some strong
men and women" says Col. Fink yam
keedom, as q certain section OF Ohio Is
called because Of the Yankee settlers,
was the center and heart of western
abolitionism, the route of the under
ground railroad. In the days Of the rev.
olution the British burned the towns,
villages and the homes OF the people,
and when the states coded to the gen.
eral government their lands Connecti-
cut. reserved this tract to reimburse ita
people, for their fire losses, and this
Connecticut western reserve became the
6relands of Ohi6. The Connecticut Yam
KEGS immigrated to these lands and
brought their abolitionism with them
! and :Yankeedom grew in Ohio.
& :Yankeedom' produced some mighty
men-three presidents Of the republic
Hayes, Garfield and Mckinley. Others
were Joshua r. Giddings, Ben Wade and
Mark Hanna, This was the early home
of Gen. Chaffee, the son of a lawyer,
and William Dean Howells, the author.
Howells set type on the Ashtabula Sen
tine1, and his octogenarian father still
does business at the old stand.
