HORACE GREELY's BIRTHpLAoE.
The Experience of One Who Attempted fn Mark If.

Law Notes relates that Albert E.. Pillsbury, former Attorney General of Massachusetts. on visiting the birth place of Horace Greedy in Amhert, N. H., noticed that there was no placard about the place to inform the public of It's historical interest.
 Accordingly he himself tackled on the house a card which read: This is the birthplace of Horace Greedy" While he was engaged at this task 8 passing native paused to read the card, and. turning to Mir. Pillsbury he re- marked with some acidity: The gall of some of you feIlers that hev made money in the city is fairly sick'nin.' What do you suppose folks here care whether you was born on this farm or some other old farm? Them's my sentiments, MT. Greedy, and don't you forgit it."

 There were mighty few people In Montgomery yesterday afternoon.
 Let not the reader think that there has been my great permanent move- ment from Montgomery. All the peo.. kut thousands availed themselves 0g the car rides to the various parks.
 The Traction Company ran regular schedule up to the lake front at Elec- tric Park and this line made popular by the desire of the people to ride over the new tracks and see the country through which the line is operated. The ride was delightful. The cars ran on regular schedule and without a hitch over the new tracks. The Mont gomery Street Railway also did big business to the new park.
 Pickett Springs was patronized by the biggest crowd that 1t has had this summer. The new air brake cars were operated and the people enjoyed the ride.

There was bad freight wreck at
this station Friday about 1.15 p.
m. Train No. 95 from the south,
running at a high rate of speed, col
lided with an engine attached to one
car standing just in front of the tele-
graph Office. The impact was terrific,
and the crash was heard long dis
tances from the scene of the wreck.
The car and engine of the extra freight
standing in front of the station were
carried at least 100 yards down the
track. The car was being unloaded
at the time, and John Broadfoot was
inside. He was thrown to. the end
of the car, but was not seriously hurt.
1t is a miracle that he was not killed,
but with the exception of a few cuts
and bruises he escaped. The only
fatality was that of Charles Gregg,
fireman on No. 95. The engineer
jumped and saved his life, but poor
Gregg stayed on and was ground to
pieces when they came together. The
engineer and fireman of the engine
standing still saw No: 95 approaching
in time to get out of the way. Both
engines, Nos. 1926 and 326, are total

Types of Old World Beauty.


It is said that when artists are seek
Ing for models the palm for beauty and
symmetry of figure is given to the girls
of Spain, while the daughters Of rural
Ireland are a good second. The pretty
faces and graceful throats are found
among English maidens. A model for
a perfect arm would be sought for
among Grecian ladies, while lady Of
the Turkish harem would be regarded
as the possessor of daintily COM
mendable hand. Italians are usually
good in figure and some Of the most
beautiful models, perfectly proportion
