with him and after a long struggle,
in which he was helped by two de-
tectives, placed him under arrest.
Captain Devanney was warned that
the man was to make an attempt
upon his life by pawnbroker whose
place of business is near the New
York end of the bridge. He told the
captain that the man had just left
his shop after pawning some jewelry
with the remark:
Il guess the only thing left for me
is to jump off the bridge"
With the two detectives the cap
tain found the man and followed
closely behind as he rode out a
trolley car on the way across the
bridge. The car had just passed the
New York tower when Austin sprang
into the roadway that separated him
from the bridge railing. The officers
sprang after him and he was subdued
after a hard struggle. He was put on
another car and sat so quietly that the
officers believed he would make no
more trouble. Suddenly, however, he
jumped from the seat and was half
fcers overlook him. Then followed a
most violent struggle in which the
three policemen were hardly a match
for him. Several women in the car
were on the verge of panic when
Austin finally was subdued and led
back to the car.

RATE BILL TO PASS.
Congressman Are Getting Together
on Railroad Legislation.

Washington, jan 1S.-It is asserted
today with more than ordinary show of
conviction that an agreement is being
made between the leaders of the senate
and of the house of representatives in
accordance with which the railroad rate
legislation will be enacted into law at
the present session OF congress. The
basis of the legislation will be the
measure drawn by Colonel Hepburn,
chairman of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee of the house. That
bill already has been considered by the
president, Attorney General Moody.
Secretaries Taft and Morton and by
members of both the house of repre-
sentatives and senate. 1t does not meet
the approval Of all who have examined
It, but it is believed to be good foun-
dation for a measure which probably
can be enacted.
The probability is that the Hepburn
bill will be passed by the house before
February l.

BABY,S SUMNER DRESS
Simplicity Is the Keynote of the Proper
Dress for Child.

White wash frocks ere generally
trimmed with pipings and bands of a
contrasting color with quaint effect. The
exaggerated long waist Is not SO much
worn now. but for quite little girls the
blouse should still come below the act
ual waist line. Skirts are rather plain
and are tucked. gathered or pleated. as
the material warrants. with no trim
ming except perhaps Il band Of inser-
tion,- unless the frock itself is Of en-
broidered bastiste or swiss for after
noon wear.
ScalIops with the buttonhoIe edge are
much In use on linen or pique frocks
and coats and openwork embroidery is
fashionable on the coats.
A child never looks well in very elab-
crate clothes: stylish simplicity is much
more appropriate. and II Is fact to be
approved that overmueh hnery for the
youthful members Of the family Is not
required. A gay little frock OF linen or
some wash fabric with a plated or
gathered skirt. which may be Numbered
half a hundred times and look as well
as ever. is certainly better than the
most expensive frills and laces at

That's where the typical Partisan is

never wearing anything that is not the
very whitest and cleanest possible.
Short petticoats have their set styles,

Look next at the edge; II the stitching

II the scallop Is in deep points. it's
bound to curl up at the first wearing.

Eve ate APPLES, much de-
bends on danner.-Byrom.
There is much wholesome
truth concealed in this clever
couplet Of Byron's. We are
apt to attach too little i'm
portance to the selection of
foods that bring with them
health and strength, without
which there is neither happi-
ness nor success.
Those who have given the
most careful thought to the
subject know that Egg O-See
is the one food upon which
"the hungry sinner may
absolutely depend. It is rich
in nutriment and building
qualities. Its analysis shows
a very large percentage of the
elements that give strength
and vitality, and it is not only
extremely palatable but easily
assimilated.
Egg-O-See is always fresh
and crisp; the package being
germ proof, alright, and
inner lined.

If there was one thing upon which
BalZac flattered himself more than
another 1t was his skill in reading
character from handwriting,
But he made sad mistake on one
occasion. A lady brought him an ex-
tract from the exercise book OF ~
year'old schoolboy, and asked him for
an opinion as TO the youngsters char
acter and prospects. Balzac inquired
whether the child was her own. An.
swered in the negative, he examined
the exercise carefully and delivered
his judgmnt.

thick-headed and frivolous. He will
never come to any good II he we're
my child would take him from school
and put him TO the plow."

pronounced so severely was one Of
his own which had been discovered
hidden away between the leaves OF an
old lesson book
