BACK IN A PULLMAN.

A Mother and Daughter Who Found the Pot of Gold at the Rainbow Foot
 Among the passengers on the yesti- buled Colonial Express from Washing ton to Boston which passed through New York day before yesterday were woman and child, returning in afflu- ence to their New England home, who only a few weeks before had literally tramped into New York on foot on their way to Baltimore, where they hoped to lay claim to the estate of rich relative.
 The woman was Mrs. Ella Simmons of Lowell, Mass. The child was her daughter. No longer haggard with anx- liety and suffering they occupied a luxurious section of Pullman car. Ele-
 gantly attired, they were in d position to look out with composure on the great metropolis where they had lirl-
 gered, hungry and penniless, sheltered l by public charity. When Mrs. Sim
 mons and her daughter set out from i Lowell for Baltimore they faced a long
 journey, without funds, in bitter cold
 weather. They applied for shelter at
 the towns and cities along the way.
 They reached New York after weary
 trudge from Greenwich, and were taken
 care of by the matron in one Of the up- town police stations. They walked
 every foot of the way from this city to Wilmington, Del. where there lodged
 by the police. who made up sufficient collection to send them to Baltimore in
 a day coach on the Pennsylvania Railroad 4a. ssz z z AAlAl 1 Arrived at Baltimore they hunted l fruitlessly for relatives for several
 days, meantime lodged by the police,
 and were then transferred to the alns-
 house at Bayview There the woman
 refused to reveal her name, but said her husband had been killed in the
 Spanish War. Her identity remained
 secret until early last week when of- l ficials at the almshouse learned from a
 relative who had been searching for l her that she was Mrs. Ella Simmons of
 Lowell. She then admitted who she was, and said she had given up hope of l ever finding her uncle who, she had been told in Lowell, had died leaving
 her his fortune With papers which were sent to Baltimore from her Mas i sachusetts home she proved her claim,
 and came into possession of her legacy last Thursday
 Procuring an extensive wardrobe the lucky mother and daughter spent sew
 eral days sightseeing in Baltimore and | Washington, and then started back for
 Lowell. This time they did not walk | any part of the way. Instead they took
 a section in a, Pullman on the Colonial l Their train was run on the transfer steamer at the Pennsylvania terminal, 1 Jersey City, and was ferried LID the
 East River to Mott Haven, where the train was run on the Consolidated | tracks and departed for Boston. They
 had no opportunity to go ashore and renew the acquaintance of the police lmatron who had befriended them in their adversity.-New York World.

Kershaw to come to the jail at New Haven. At these interviews. it is said by certain well posted people, Marsh was willing to make almost any state ment in order to get out on bonds. No bondsman was secured for Marsh, even though he even went so far as to ask Deputy Sheriff Doherty to either go on his bond or to allow his wife to do so.
 Sheriff Doherty, speaking for MT. Kershaw, who could not be found to- day, says there is absolutely no truth in the statement. A well-known court official said he couldn't see what diff ference it made whether or not MT. Kershaw did anything of the sort. 'Kershaw is only an individual" he said. He can talk any old way. The state had nothing to C.o with the mat ter, and isn't interested in it one way or the other. It's all trife, any way

MEASLES IN EAST HAVEN.

 About Thirty Cases There at the Pres
 ent Time. One of Which Has Resulted
 in Death.
 There is an epidemic of measles rag ing in East Haven at the present time and there are about thirty people i'll with it. The disease has been preva- lent now for about four weeks, and all possible steps to stop it's growth are being taken.
 About two weeks ago Guisseppi Rus so, a young boy, was stricken with the disease and other complications, includ- ing pneumonia, set in. which resulted in his death in about a day.
 The houses where the disease now is are not quarantined, but have a white card with warning on the outside of each house. There have been no other fatalities reported.

THE VALUE oF oLp MEN.

America is the youngest mans coun- try, we are told, because so many of the conspicious figures among us are young men. The thing is said eonven- tionally, as if there were some moral virtue in being young; as if, too, the greatest tragedy in American history was not the death some forty years ago of half a million men in the prime of life, which deprived our generations of it's wisest counsellors. Experience is the only school which gives a degree honored of all men, and man of three score, with the vigor of life still in him, should be the most useful citizen of a community.
 The awful castastrophe at Baltimore furnished a splendid instance. The con- fiagration had been raging for twelve hours. Chief Horton of the Fire De- partment, had been disabled by a live wire. The fighters were without a head. Then William c. McAfee, veter- an chief, retired for age and accounted an old man, offered his services to the Mayor. They were accepted. Donning his oilskins, and grabbing his trumpet the old chief went into action. At once the men knew they had leader. They
 needed one. The fire was roaring down 1 to the river bank where were some great rosin works filled with turpen- tine. And as they went so must go East Baltimore.
 There will be h-l to pay if the fire
 gets into that rosin!" yelled McAfee through his trumpet. If enough of 1 you men will follow me, we'll go in
 in there and dump the whole outfit in- 1 to the bay!'
 They followed the leader and they saved East Baltimore.-Fran Leslie's

THE HALLETT GLACIER.

The history of the discovery of this glacier is an interesting one. An old bear hunter chaneed upon the field on Mummy Mount, which he called the largest snow field in the Rockies" Be- fore his death. which occurred shortly after, he mentioned this discovery to gentleman then living in Denver, who devoted much time to the exploration of new mountains and strange locali- ties in and about this neighborhood.
 In 1882 this gentleman, a MT. Hallet, visited the spot entirely alone. In try ing to ascend the north side of the ice field he suddenly broke through the bridge of a hidden crevasse, but by ex- tending his elbows he managed to ex- tricate himself from his perilious posi- ton, and returned in safety to his camp This incident finally led him to wonder whether this might not be a glacier. In 1886 and 1887 MT. Hallett, in company with an experienced noun taineer, who was as familiar with the Alps as with the Rockies, twice revis- tied the spot Upon the first of these expeditions, after careful examina- tion, and true nature of this vast ex- panse of snow and ice was for the first time positively determined. There, in the heart of Colorado, existed a true gla- cier, showing crevasses, momrains-in short, all the characteristics of the we'll known Alpine glaciers of Switzerland. To this was given the name it bears, 'sHallett Glacier in honor of the man who, in such startling way made the first real discovery.-St. Nicholas.

HOW HE OPERATED ON H1MELF.

I1OW I1Iu OG OIN
 Alderman George M. Harman, proni- nent surgeon as we'll as leading mem
 Der of the city council owes his life to
 his own surical skill and nerve. When
 his life was despaired of by the phy- sicians in attendance he performed a difficult operation upon himself being supported in front of a mirror by a negro valet while he wielded the scal- |pel.
 Dr. Harman was the operating sur- geon about a week ago in hospital case. During the operation he scratch ed the lower part of his face with the instrument, he was using An antisep- tic preparation was applied and the surgeon paid little attention to the mat ter. In a few days sepsis set in, start ling at the corner of the mouth. It's progress was steady. accompanied by extreme pain. The side of the face be- came swollen and discolored and the right eye was closed. Dr. Harman de- scribed the progress of the poison to the physicians attending him and ad- vised an incision and the removal of the diseased matter. There were ob- jections and Dr. Harman resolved to do the job himself.
 Weak and emaciated from pain, he instructed his servant to select certain instruments from a case in his office and bring them to him. The servant |then lifted him from the bed and held
 him in his arms before the mirror while
 the operation was in progress. Dr. Har- man ran the lance from the inside of |his mouth up almost to the eye The |cheeck was severed from the bone and
 an opening made so the poison could
 drain downward. Almost immediately Dr. Harman felt relief and he has been improving ever since.
 Dr. Harman feared the poison would
 reach the cavity immediately under
 the eye. He said he knew if the poi
 son reached the blood vessels and nerves which communicate directly
 with the eye he could live but few
 hours. The cutting did not hurt at all,
 Dr. Harman says, so great was the
 other pain he was suffering Savannah (Ga). SpeciaD.

ager for the Van Dusen-Harringto
company. The position has just been
created. The business of this pioneer
grain company has grown to such an
extent, both by natural increase and

necessary. Railroad men will be
pleased to know that, altho Mr.. Rains
has made a decided change in his
line of work, he will still be one Of
the fraternity.
Mr.. Rains offered his resignation
as general agent this morning, after
much thought on the proposed
change. The resignation was accept
ed with regret and only. after lengthy
negotiations for his retention in the
service of the railroad.
