Lightnlng's playful Prank.

A bolt-of lightning had brush
with Elmer Mayberry, in the lat
ter's store at Pennington last
Thursday. Mr.. Mayberry was
standing near an open window and
a telephone and had just laid down
a clothes brush which he had been
using. Suddenly report like the
discharge of a musket directly over
his head confused him momentarily
and his little daughter, standing at
the other end of the room, ex.
claimed, "Oh !! papa, you are all
over sparks p' Mr.. Mayberry lost
no time In looking about for the
effects of the spent bolt and found
it had torn off portion of the
back of the clothes brush which he
had in his hands a few moments
previous. Beyond that and a
strong smell of birthstone there
was no other evidence of the light
ning's playful freak.

IGNORING CAR RULES.

The evil Of permitting rules to be habltuaily
ignored has just been illustrated In Brooklyn in
an incident on one of the lines of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. One of the special
officers Of that company arrested a man for
smoking on the platform of an elevated railroad
car, but the magistrate next morning discharged
the prisoner. apparently on the ground that his
cigar had gone out and he was merely indulging
In dry smoke"-which is really the most of
fensive of all.
Now the interesting point Of the case is this,
that while the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany has perfectly well KNOWN rules against
smoking car platforms or in cars. excepting
on certain seats of certain cars. its own EN-
poyes have permitted those rules TO be openly
and generally ignored and have themselves vio-
lated them Every trolley car bears the
platform conspicuous sign, mo Smoking, get
iti a sight TO see on the platform Of
which there is not at least one man openly
smoking. and for conductor TO attempt TO en-
force the rule Is an almost unheard of thing.
The same is to be said of the elevated cars. In
the open of the elevated lines there are
conspicuous signs limiting smoking to the rear
seats. but smoking has all along been general
in all parts of the cars and nobody has ever
known a conductor to attempt 10 enforce the
rule AS for dry smokes they have been per-
mitted in all cars. matter how long how
stinkingly the dying. fire might shoulder More
over, the uniformed employees Of the company
themselves have often violated the rules. 1t is
q not uncommon sight to them smoking
while riding in the cars-perhaps off duty, but
still in uniform
The recent case to which we have referred
involved new special officer. who had just
entered the employ of the company and who
had not yet learned that some OF its rules were
tacitly ignored. He did his manifest duty In
enforcing the rules and though his well meant
efforts apparently came 10 naught it may be
that they viii have benefcent effect In calling

INSURANCE MEN FOR MCLBLLAN.

1t must interest Mayor Mcclellan to observe
that in the opinion OF Mr.. Osborne. his candidate
for District Attorney against Mr.. Jerome and
of Mr.. Murphys poster designer, he is dis
honored by the support of certain insurance
officials and their lawyers. Mr.. Osborne has Is
sued statement containing a list of such per-
sons who have signed declarations in favor of
Mr.. Jerome and infers therefrom that Mr.. Je-
rome will owe the insurance ''grafters'' debt
and would have to serve them in office.
Now, it happens that a number Of those same
insurance folks have also signed declarations in
favor of Mr.. Mcclellan. Handicapped by the
support of collection of insurance men in com
parison with which Mr.. Jeromes insurance
policy looks like thirty cents even like one of
those vanishing dividends that witnesses have
told about Mr.. Mcclellan is in bad way The
accusing finger of his own Osborne has found
him out and he stands condemned by his own
fellow candidate along with Mr.. Jerome. He is
posted as unfit by Murphy on the hoardings
where great bills. close beside those picturing
Mr.. Hearst tramplng on an American flag urge
the electors to vote against candidate sup
ported by insurance officials.
