WOULD COME
ON SPECIAL
And Stop Off For Lunch Telegram a
Fake and Walters Were Mad
But it Was April Fool.

Yesterday being April fool, the reg
ulation number of practical jokes
were, of course, played over the city,
but one of the best that has been re-
ported yet was that played on the
Union station restaurant force. About
half past a telegram was brought
into the restaurant, dated Indianapo-
lis, saying that thirty people, on a
special train, would stop off for lunch
at Richmond at 4 80.
There was great hustle and prepara-
ton In the restaurant immediately.
The counter was almost entirely
cleared, long row Of plates was set
out, the kitchen sent up a big supply
of cooked food, and everything was
put where it would be handy IN time
of the Hrush' These preparations
over, the force rested; 4: 80 came and
no special; 5:15 came and vet no
special. It soon began to dawn on
the minds of the walters that the day
was the first of April, and, when an
official came In and was shown the
telegram, he pronounced the affair
joke, and it was well for the loungers
that they chad business outside. =
The only thing to do was to clear off
the counter and the walters had to
make the best of it. but allusions to
"specials" are not received favorably
there today

GLENN BASS AND LEW AN
DREWs FOUND A WASHoUT
AT LEWIsBURG, OHIO.
STOPPED THE TRAIN
Passengers Grateful For Their Rescue
The Train Would Have Been
Demolished.

One of he bravest deeds heard of
for some time happened few days
ago, when Glenn Bass and Lewis An
drews, both young colored men of
this city, saved the Cincinnati and
Northern FEFlyer' from what would
have undoubtedly resulted In a most
disastrous wreck, in which the lives
of at least fifty people would have
been jeopardized, and in which at
least ten Or more persons would have
met instant death, not to speak of in
juries which all on board of the train
at the time would have received. Bass
and Andrews are strolling musicians,
Bass being a violinist and Andrews a
'cellist, and they play throughout
this part of the country at dances. A
few days ago they played at Lewis
burg, Ohio, and the next morning, be-
ing entirely "broke,' they started to
"count the ties' to West Alexandria,
their next scheduled point. When
about two miles south of Lewisburg
they found that portion of the track
about twenty feet long had been en-
tirely washed away by the high
waters, leaving a wide gap over a
gulch. They saw what the fate of
any train which would come along
at that place at full speed would be,
and, while Bass remained at one side
A 10 10
other side, ready to flag any train
which might approach. Soon the Gin
cinnati "Flyer," as number is com
monty known, approached from the
north and the engineer, on seeing Bass
waving his arms, stopped the train.
| AS might be expected, the passeng-
ers and crew were very grateful to
their rescuers. and the latter were
taken on board and carried to their
| destination. They were made much
of by all on board the train, as all
thought that but for the fortunate
rescue the train would have been com.
pletely demolished in the gulch. The
deed of the two was renorted to the
officials of the company and yesterday
Bass and Andrews received letters
from the president, saying that the
company would give each an "an-
nual0 for the brave rescue. The men
are well known as travelling musicians
throughout this part of the state, and
the story Of their deed is being talked
of by all.

"PARADlSE LOST"
Incidents of the Attempted sale OF
the Original Manuscript.


After oil, the original manuscript of
the first book Of Milton's Paradise
Lost remains unsold. 1t was offered
for sale under the hammer a few days
ago by Mr.. I. Hodge at Messrs. SOthe-
by's establishment in Wellington
street, Strand. but failed to realize the
| reserve price of $4,000. The historic
manuscript is the property of Mr.. Hen
ry c. Baker of Bayfordbury, who was
present in the auction room, and it has
been in his family since 1772. when
it was inherited by his great-gPat
grandfather. William Baker, from
Richard TonsOn. brother of the young
er Jacob Tonson. This William Baker
was the eldest son of Sir William
Baker, NJ. z. for Herts, who married
in 1T42 Mary Tonson, daughter of the
younger Jacob Tonson.
Buyers from all parts of the kingdom
and from Paris and Berlin were pres.
ent yesterday, and rarely before has
the little hail contained so many not
able literary folk. At o'clock Mr..
Hodge mounted the rostrum and in in
PRODUCING the lot remarkcd:
Il think there is nothing to say about
this manuscript because everything
that is known has been published. 1t is
the manuscript submitted to the print
er and, no doubt, therefore, read
through to Milton. l am sure it is no
eXaggeration to say that it is the most
important volume from a national point
Of view that we have ever had, and l
think this may be said of any other
firm. Now, what will you offer for it?"
A period of silence followed as the
manuscript, inclosed in a glass frame,
was handed round for the inspection of
the assembly. Then a voice from one
corner said, Fifty pounds" This was
DR.. Ginsburg, and his offer aroused
some merriment. Mr. Hodge said he
would give E100 for it, and Mr. Snow
den, the manager of his firm, sitting on
his right, Immediately doubled this fig
ure. Both gentlemen then bid against
one another. and no other person ven
tured to interrupt the competition I'M
til $4,000 was reached, when Mr..

ly enough for so valuable a possession.
There was no other offer, and the ham
mer fell seven minutes after the auc-

soon left the room. many observing that

Parish Dancing Lessons.

What would have been thought a
generation ago of a professional dane
ing master as an agent of church mis-
sionary work? His services are now
in demand in several New York city
parishes. BY the report of the rector
Of Calvary Episcopal church they have
proved valuable as a counter attrac-
tiOn to public hall dancing, where the
associations are often evil.
The Calvary experiment was in line
with that begun by st. Bartholomew s
church. Saturday evening dancing
classes were organized in the church
gymnasium, and in these many young
people at once showed themselves in
terested, the attendance increasing
through the season. Their success as
sures their continuation next year.

which is at present most productive of
good results is conducted in spirit of
similar enlightenment. - New York
