A Cross Old Woman

Sir Edward Monson, the veteran Eng
lish diplomat, who is now visiting in
America, served under Lord Lyons in
Washington during Lincoln's admins
tration, and has many interesting
stories of Lincoln to relate.
"a distinguished old woman" he said
the other day, "once called on Lincoln
and rallied and stormed over some fan
cied wrong that she had suffered at the
governments hands.
"Mr. Lincoln listened to her politely,
he talked to her in the kindly way he
talked to every one, and then, after she
was gone. he turned to me and said:
"'Little Edith heard the other day
that a neighbor had shot his dog be-
cause 1t had grown old and cross. She
studied the matter out while, and
then she looked up in her mothers face
and said:
Mother. when do you think papa
will shoot Aunt Martha?'"

RAIL WRECKS AND SPEED
Many Accidents Are Caused by Swift
Going but Other Causes Are
AIIeued

From the Chicago Tribune.
Whenever excessive speed is blamed
for wreck on the rails all railroad
men set up a loud howl of protest. Yet
it is the confidentially expressed opin-
ion of disinterested parties who know
the railroad business that four acci-
dents out of five on every railroad sys-
tenn are caused by putting on too much
steam where conditions require Il
slower pace.
"In eight cases out of ten," said one
railroad man whose experience is that
gained from many years of railroading
in the United States, the cause of
railway accidents can be found in ex-
cessive speed-that is, speed too great
for the roadbed covered. There are
operating officials have a right to call
for every ounce of speed the engine
can make. but there are also a great
many places where the least possible
speed is required, places such as
curves, track exposed to high water,
yards, active switches and other such
soft spots as they are called.
when the speed schedule is ad-
justed to the necessities of these con-
ditions an engineer usually can take
his train through in safety, but 1t is
when the running time has been re-
duced without due consideration Of
these soft spots, and the engineer is
forced to make high speed where safety
requires a let down. that an accident
is the final outcome.
Perhaps, however, 1t is not always
the fault of the officials that a train Is
called upon for more than it can safely
give, for the officials must rely upon
what the engineer tells them, and 1t is
seldom indeed that an engineer is will
ing to confess that he cannot make the
pace asked of him. Besides this, thera
is the faith which every locomotive
driver has in the division superintend-
ent, which makes him willing to try
anything his boss suggests to him.
Just as dog will jump from third or
his master, the engineer will jump at
the call Of the superintendent, always
believing he would not ask what could
not be done.
1T is the hardest thing in the world
to get an engineer to confess after a
wreck that he was going at high
speed at the time. That is why we
always hear of spreading rails and
such things when a train jumps the

His Reason

One of the witnesses called in q Chi
cago divorce case last year was highly
respected clergyman in the Windy City.
According to one of the counsel in the
case the following conversation took
place between the Judge and the min
sitter. Said his honor:
"Dr. Blank, if you were on the bench
in my stead, and were acquainted with
an the circumstances of this case, would
you grant this divorce?"
"Assuredly I would, your honor" re-
piled the clergyman. without the least
hesitation.
But" said the judge, "how do you
reconcile this assertion with the injunc-
ton of scripture, whom God hath
Joined let no man put asunder'?"
Your honor" responded the minister,
with convincing gravity, II am quite
satisfied that the Almighty never Joined
this ple."-Harper's Weekly

track. This explanation was once Of
fered me as the cause of such an accl-
dent on the road of which 1 knew
every inch. I got hold of the engineer
and asked him how fast he was going
at the time. He thought it might have
been twenty miles an hour, on account
of the curve. Little by little he In
creased his estimate, until 1 found
that he had time to make up and had
taken the curve at a pace which acted
on the train like the old game of crack
the whip acts on the small boy on the
end.
THE weak spots in a roadbed are
the spots that set the limit on the
speed to be made over that roadbed,
and as these spots are taken more or
less into consideration the chance of
accident is increased and diminished

THEIR FIRST PARIS DINNER
Ignorance of French Language Caused
Disappointment

Lispenard Stewart, at a dinner at
White Lodge, his Newport residence,
talked about Paris.
"Those who can't speak French" he
said, "tell you that in France every one
speaks English, and that an attempt
to air French is answered in English
invariably. But this is not true. Even
in Paris 1t is not true.
"a tenant of mine quite ignorant OF
French, reached Paris for the first time
last month. You may imagine his en-
thusiasm, his eager interest. AS soon
as he had got settled in a hotel he
dressed and set out with his wife for
dinner-a dinner in Paris, their first
Paris dinner. 1t was to be something
very fine, of course.
"On the gay boulevard, near the
opera. they found a beautiful cafe.
They entered. A half dozen obsequious
walters ushered them with quiet skill
to snowy table.
THE cage was upholstered in pale
blue silk. My tenant and his wife sat
side by side on pale blue divan. A
menu was brought them, and. as they
took it up, they smiled at one another
like two children. Their first Paris
dinner.
But they had no French, and the
menu puzzled them. They studied it,
while the walters bent over them re-
spectfully, and they grew uncomfort-
able and red. Finally my tenant,
desperate, pointed to an item that
looked familiar, and the waiter, sure
enough, brought soup.
1T was delicious soup. The dinner
was progressing excellently. My tenant

WEREN'T LOOKING FOR THAT


A new change has been rung on an
old idea, and the victims of the old
style practical joke are the ones who
tried to play 1t. Several facetious Off
GERS Of a big liner which has now been
shifted elsewhere one morning found
that their matutinal egg was decor
ated with name and address in femi-
nine scrawl. They copied the address
for future use and planned to play a
trick on a brother officer.
They wrote most picturesque letter
to the girl at some town in the middle
west, and to it they signed the name
of this brother officer, who had the
name Of being fond of writing letters
to many girls at the same time, making
love to all who would let him.. The let
ter was a we'll worded document, show
ing that the writer's of 1t had plenty Of
knowledge Of their subject. Then they
waited guilefully for the answer.
In few days 1t arrived, just before
sailing day, and the victim was much
mystifed. However, he answered it
and laid low for the perpetrators. On
his return from the next trip he re-
ceived and answered another letter and
incidentally found out who the jokers
were. 1t all came out when the jokers
were being transferred to another
boat. Then the victim called In femi-
nine aid to hatch out a satisfactory
scheme of revenge. He wasn't able to
do so himself.
The girl to whom he appealed knew
all the parties concerned but the girl
So she wrote a letter, the most biting,
powerful document she could concoct,
in which she stated that she was the
girl to whom they had written; that
she lived in New York and not in the
middle west; that a friend of her
brothers had put her name on an egg
for joke; that her lawyer was pun
fishing the original joker; that he was
going to the president of the steamboat
line, who was a personal friend of her
fathers and who wouldn't stand to
have his officers presumably gentle
men) insult the daughter of his old
friend. Thus they would very probably
lose not only their chance of promotion,
but their positions as we'll, for the
sake of a foolish practical joke. She
intimated that unless they apologized
Immediately and most abjectly they
would find the consequences serious.
Then the young officer set some one
to watch on the other boat for develop
ments.
The jokers took the letter seriously
and were in a panic at once. There
followed the most abject apology from
the one who had less sense of humor
than the other one and a half humorous
but wholly apologetic note from the
other one. The letters were both way
laid and given to the original victim OF
the joke, who gathered together all
his evidence and completed his plans
for revenge At a mess dinner given
later the officers from the old boat were
all together and the entire affair was
detailed, the letters were read, and all
in the presence of the perpetrators of
the joke and a number of others who
had known about 1t all along. And the
jokers have never heard the last of 1t,
and probably never will. Even strang-
ers often ask them whether they are
fond of eggs

LAUGHS AT PRISON BARS.
Albert Ullman, Convicted of Attempt to
Kill Daughter, Has Been Taken
to Waupun.

Juneau, Wis, May 29.-[Special.. i
Albert Ullman of Lebanon, convicted of
having attempted to murder his daugh-
ter, Ida, in August, 1902, was taken to
the penitentiary at Waupun yesterday
by Sheriff Lentz. Since April % the old
man has been awaiting to be conveyed
to prison, but the supreme court pro-
ceedings were delayed.
He has passed through an ordeal of
three years without giving the least eyi,
dence of worry. In conversation Ullman
said he was taking the matter philo-
sophically and did not intend to worry
over it. He said he was 81 years old
and was troubled with bad breech and
for that reason he hoped that the prison
authorities would assign him some light
work. He laughingly referred to the
fact that he gained four pounds in
weight during the few weeks he was in
jail. Just then the baggageman wheeled
large bunch of cane fish poles into the
depot and Ullman related how the cane
grew III Mississippi where he lived dur
ing the war period. He also spoke of
his steamboating on the Mississippi, his
residence in New Orleans and the fact
that he wanted to enter the service in
the Cival war, but was rejected on ac
count Of an injured leg.

Fur from Live Rabbits.

One of the strangest Of modern indus
tries is that carried on in the Jura dis
trict in France. 1t consists in taking the
fur from live rabbits and weaving it into
& textile fabric which makes the warm

The species of rabbits which furnish
the raw material for the manufactur-
ing process is the Angora rabbit, which
has received the name of the silk rab-
bit. Every three months the rabbit
sheds it's fur, and several days before
this takes place nature is anticipated by
female hands, which remove the long

CAPT GODDARD is DEAD.
New York Anthology Campaigner Is
Victim of Apoplexy-Was on Roose-
velt's Empire Military Staff.

New York, May 29.-Capt. F. Norton
Goddard died Sunday of apoplexy at his
country home in Fernwood, Conn. He
went to Litchfeld about three weeks
ago, suffering from nervous prostration
Capt Goddard was born in New York
in 1851 and graduated from Harvard in
1882. His father was a merchant and
founder Of the firm of J. w. Goddard
& Sons
When his father died he left fortune
to two sons. Norton Goddard became
conspicuous in civic affairs when the
Civic club began its crusade against
policy playing. When President Roose-
welt became governor he appointed Mr..
Goddard on his staff.
In the early days of the fight against
policy games it was hard to get convic-
tons under the laws. It was mainly
through Goddard's efforts and his socie-
ties that the present law was enacted.
They trapped Al Adams, head of the
policy game in this city. Adams went to
Sing Sing. Later Goddard undertook to
cut off telegraph service to poorooms.
and brought out evidence which led the
Western Union directors to discontinue
the company's race news bureau.

Worth Remembering.

There are three entirely different kinds
of ingredients used in making the three
different varieties of baking powders on
the market, viz.:-1) Mineral-Acid or
81 Cream of Tartar made from grapes
1t is important, from the standpoint of
health, to know something about these
ingredients, and which kind is used in
your baking powder.
a. Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
diluted oil of vitrol and from this solu-
ton product is obtained which is
alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two
cents pound, and baking powder made
with this MineralAcid sells from 10 to
25c a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders and
ents issued to large manufacturer of a
phosphate powder. The q. S. Patent
Office Report gives full and exact de-
scription, but the following extract is
enough:
Burned bones, after being ground, are
put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and
with continual stirring and in the follow
ing proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents q pound.
81 Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from the
press in the manufacture of wine. After
the wine is drawn off the tartar is
scraped from the cask, boiled with wa
ter, and crystals Of Cream of Tartar,
white and very pure, separate and are
collected. 1t differs in no respect from
the form in which it originally existed
in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then,
while the most expensive is the only in,
gredient that should be used in a baking
powder to act upon the soda, as it's
wholesomeness is beyond question.
Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at
about 40 to so cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one.
careful of the health of the family.
should remember this rule-Baking pow
ders selling from 10 to % cents pound
are made of Mineral-Acids; those selling
from 20 to 80 cents of Bone-Acid and
those from 40 to so cents of Cream of
Tartar made from grapes.
