~ NE of the most interesting OF the
j studies in love that l am making
- on the steamship which is carrying
me to France is the mutual devotion OF
a poetic husband and a prosaic wife, who
sit near me at the captains table Never
was better exemplified the attraction
which opposite temperaments have Tor

He is a genuine day dreamer, whose
fancies are ever flying like sea gulls be-

the minds of other passengers along, out

borne up by 1t, and strengthened greatly.

Yes they are American. and this single

But what interests me most about the

of opposites. For it offers one more ar

Billy Badger would be the CAPTAIN of

Billy Badger was

Negro Killed By Tram.

Jack Billups, an aged negro
who for some time past has been
in the employ of the ArBay Stave
& Heading Co.. was run over and
killed by a freight train on the
side track near the plant of the
above company about four o'clock
last Thursday afternoon. A
freight train was standing on
the track, having been uncoup-
led and parted at the point where
the street crosses the track in
order that pedestrians might be
permitted to pass when the fatal
accident occurred. 1t seems
that Billups was engaged in
picking up some Jumps of coal
which had fallen on the track
and was between the cars, when
the engine started and the wheels
of the car ran over the unfortu-
nate mans body, crushing his
leg and side in terrible man
ner.
The cries of pain which the
negro uttered brought several
of his fellow workmen to his side,
and they did all in their power
to relieve his sufferings, which
lasted only a short time, as he
expired within half an hour after
the accident occurred. Jack
Billups was good negro, and
his sad fate is deeply lamented
by the white citizens who knew
him as well as by the mem bers
of his own race.
